~ Chapter 10 ~
Hey look! I've reached a two digit number!
Anyway, as I was saying at the end of the other chapter, AJ's just this guy that Angeline HAD a crush on. At least, that's why my sources tell me. You are under no obligation at all to keep a straight face.
But now, she's found a new victim. Gino. The 'perfect guy'.

"Who are you?" she demanded, turning around and fixing the newcomer with a cold eye.
"Numair Salmalin at your service, my Lady," said the mage, bowing. "I have tried so hard to reach this place, but never before in my wildest imaginations-" He stood up and looked around, eyes bright. "I've done it!" he said in a low voice. "I've breached the barriers of time and place!"
Angeline blinked. "Excuse me?"
"I have tried so hard all these months, and-" He stared down at the orcs. "I've DONE IT!"
"Done WHAT?" demanded Angeline testily. She reached inside her robes and pulled out her wand. It was a wonder it still worked.
"I am no longer in Tortall, am I?" asked Numair. "Excellent! I must tell my beloved Daine that I have discovered a gap in Place!" And with that, he vanished in a puff of smoke.
Angeline blinked, shrugged, and went back to work.

"What's for dinner?" asked Pippin again. It was a classic line before the sun set.
"Rabbit."
"Don't worry, Steph," said Legolas. "You can have potatoes."
Steph smiled and turned slightly green. It was the sixty-eighth time she had eaten potatoes for dinner. "Thanks."
"Unless you'd rather have mushrooms?" asked the elf. "Carrots?"
Stephanie turned bright green. "No thanks."
"Ew," said Christina. "Vegetables. Poor Steph. You can have the potatoes in my stew."
Stephanie moaned softly.
"Rabbit?" said Victoria. "AGAIN?"
"Yeah, I'm getting sick of rabbit," agreed Katie.
Stephanie fixed them both with a dark look.
"Something the matter, Steph?" asked Rachel, grinning wickedly.
The girl scowled.
Rachel smirked and sat down. "Rabbit Run," she said, suddenly.
"What?" Aragorn turned around. "What is that?"
Gandalf waited for the usual 'deprived peoples!' but it didn't come. Instead, Rachel replied, "It's a song."
"A song?" asked Legolas, perking up. "Excellent! Let's have a song then! Sing for us!"
"RACHEL?" sniggered Michelle. "SING?"
"Oh fuck off, Squishy," snapped Rachel. "Anyway, it's a rap."
"Rap?" Legolas looked puzzled. "What is a rap? Did you not say earlier that it was a song?"
"Yeah, well it's like a cross between rhymin' with a tune in the background to set the beat," shrugged Rachel. "It's by Eminem."
"I do not understand," said the Elf. "Would you care to demonstrate?"
Rachel looked as if she might refuse, but then a wicked glint entered her eye and she smiled secretively. "Yeah, sure.
~ Somedays I just wanna up and quits ~
~ I feel like I'm surrounded by a wall of bricks ~
~ Everytime I go to get up I just fall in pits ~
~ My life's like one big ball of shit ~"
Legolas looked quite alarmed.
"There's more," grinned Rachel. "Ya wanna hear, Elf Boy?"
"Perhaps.... perhaps another day?" asked Legolas, blanching.
Rachel shrugged. "Okay then."
They ate their dinner in silence.
That night, though, they dreamed.

Yay! I got Meteora! And I didn't even spend a cent.
