This is the start of the insanity...no, seriously, it is.
DISCLAIMER: I own all original characters and plot. All else belongs to the great and mighty Tolkien. Except, of course, the cheese. That is mine as well.
"I'm hungry. Is anyone else awake?"
"I do believe that they all woke up, had breakfast, and are in the midst of swimming."
"Oh joy."
"Would you like something to eat?"
"Yes, please. What do we have left?"
"The hobbits appear to have cleaned out our supply of bacon, bread, fruit, jam.oh dear. We only have lembas and water left. They seem not to like those."
I laughed and replied, "No cheese? They certainly do get hungry, don't they? I will need to regain my strength if we are to begin travel again tomorrow."
"You are right, my dear." He said, handing me some of the lembas and a cup of water. I took a small bite of the lembas and handed it back to him, while thirstily drinking the water.
"Thank you, Legolas."
"No problem. Now I must clean your wound again." I winced, remembering the pain. "It shouldn't hurt as much this time, but it still has to be done." He gently peeled back the bandage and wiped my shoulder with a damp cloth. Suddenly, the pain seemed to fade away into nothingness. I opened my eyes in surprise, and saw a bright green glow flowing from Legolas into my shoulder.
"Legolas!" I gasped. "What are you doing?"
"What do you mean 'what am I doing?' I'm cleaning your wound."
"No, the green glow."
"What green glow?"
"The one coming from you."
"You can see MAGIC?"
"Magic??"
"I was putting some of my own into you, in hope that it would ease your pain. Normally, elves can't see it, so I thought you wouldn't notice."
"Well, my pain is gone, so I noticed. But how could anyone NOT notice that glow? It was so bright it was almost blinding."
"If you could see it, you must have some of your own."
"Magic?"
"Yes, magic."
"Cool!"
"No, actually it gives off a bit of a warming sensation."
"Never mind. So, how do I use it?"
"You can't, really."
"WHAT?? That's no fair!"
"You cannot use it for anything except healing. Now that you are aware that you have it, you should heal much more quickly than usual. You can also use it to heal others, as I did for you."
"Does this mean that I am immortal as well?'
"I do not know."
"That's not fair either."
He just laughed and replaced the bandage with a new, clean one. We sat there talking for the rest of the morning, waiting for the others to come back for lunch. We knew they would come back because they had hobbits with them, and hobbits NEVER intentionally miss a meal. Sure enough, like clockwork, they walked into the campsite at exactly noon.
"So," asked Merry innocently, "what's for lunch?"
"Why don't you tell us?" Legolas and I replied at the same time, laughing.
"What do you mean?" Asked Pippin nervously.
"We mean, where's all the food?"
"Um.it ran away?"
"Sorry hun, I don't think its working!" Laughed Veronica. "He ate it for breakfast."
"ALL of it??"
"Well no.I helped. But so did Frodo and Sam." She said accusingly, pointing at them.
"WHAT? We were hungry!"
"Whatever. ALL of you are going to go get us more food. Have fun hunting and gathering."
"But won't we get hungry?"
"Probably."
"NOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Bye bye! Don't forget the cheese!" We (me, Addie, Jenny, Alenorin, Gimli, Gandalf, and Aragorn) waved as Legolas shoved them into the woods. "So, what shall we do? I don't think they'll be coming back too soon."
"Why don't we play hide-and-seek?"
"Oh my gosh you guys. That is SO second grade!"
"What's second grade?" They asked me, puzzled.
"Oops. Never mind. What I mean is that only little kids play that game."
"So??"
"You have a point."
"Besides, maybe we'll even be able to scare the others while we play!" We all laughed really hard at that.
"Alright then who's it?" I was feeling better by now, and the pain in my shoulder was almost completely gone from Legolas's magic. I looked around after no one answered me, and I realized that they were all gone. "Great, I guess I'm it then, huh?"
"YES!" A chorus of shouts echoed from the trees.
I counted to one hundred, and took off into the woods. "Ready or not, here I come!" I heard a bush rustle, so I silently walked over to it and yelled "HA HA HA I FOUND YOU!" as I looked into the bush to see who I had found.
Inside I saw Jenny and Frodo, kissing like there was no tomorrow. "Oops." I said, embarrassed. "Maybe I'll go now." They just completely ignored me.
I ran off toward a cave that I had spotted several days earlier that would make a really good hiding place. I walked slowly through it, careful to look in every little spot. I finally gave up and was leaving when I heard a sound like someone sneezing, and then a small laugh. I walked toward the spot that the sound had come from, and what do you know, there were Veronica and Pippin, kissing passionately.
I left the cave and walked around in circles, exasperated. I went to look for Gimli, knowing that I was safe with him because he wouldn't be kissing anyone. I was searching for him behind rocks and such when I heard a sound from above me. "Grrrr. Not again." I growled. I looked up and, of course, there were Addie and Alenorin, kissing like crazy.
I picked up a sick and threw it, screaming to no one in particular, "WHAT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE MAKING OUT WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK?!"
"Like you said, Jane. Only little kids play that game." Said Legolas as he came up behind me and grabbed my waist. He spun me around so I was facing him and planted a gentle kiss on my forehead. "Well, if you insist." I said while leaning up to kiss him. The others got tired of hiding and went back to camp, while we kept on kissing.
