Chapter 4
"Well," said Elrond to the group. "I've got to be going now." He looked to the ground and quickly looked up. "See ya!" and Elrond quickly strode off.
Merut and Ete looked strangely to him. They never knew that Elrond would take such extreme unsubtleness to get away. They couldn't dwell on the thought because soon, Gandalf started talking.
"Well, this is unexpected." Gandalf said, still displeased with the comment made by Merut earlier. To show his dissatisfaction, he glowered at the two girls.
"What?" Ete said in disbelief. "You don't think we can handle the trip through the Misty Mountains?"
"And battle with orcs?" said Merut, folding her arms.
"And fights against trolls?"
"And snow?"
"And rain?"
"And evil, evil men?"
"And Smurfs?" said Ete, forgetting her place.
"What?" asked Pippin, very confused. "Are they another peril?"
"Mer!" Merut said, elbowing Ete in the stomach.
"I mean...." Ete said, trying to cover up. "I meant giant squid monsters outside the Mines of Moria!"
"And Crebain." Merut said, trying to end the list.
"From Duneland." Ete said at last.
Pippin looked very worriedly to Merry. "Are we really going to go up against all those?"
"Of course not." Merry said, wanting to not believe the girls. "They're just trying to scare us."
"Not likely." Ete said. "Listen." Ete decided to get serious and make sure they knew what was going on. "We're really confused ourselves. But we're really an asset to the Fellowship. If you don't let us on the trip, then you guys will all go blindly. We can help you see what's to happen."
"Now shut up and let us come." Merut said, looking to Gandalf with that oh- so-evil stare.
Gandalf rolled his eyes and nodded. "Now we're going to leave early next morning. Pack sparingly, etceteras, etceteras." He turned to Ete and Merut. "Now since you seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, you probably don't have anything. Here." Gandalf reached into the folds of his robes to retrieve something.
Ete screamed. "NO! We really don't need to see that, thank you!"
Gandalf looked at Ete as if she had three heads. Merut covered up Ete's mouth.
"MER!" Merut said quickly. She turned to Gandalf. "Please pay no heed to her." Merut shot the death stare to Ete. Ete whimpered.
Gandalf pulled out a pouch that seemed to be weighed down heavily. "This should pay for your expenses. Get yourself some weapons and such. Please. Now go busy yourselves. I have to be off to look at books."
The group muttered in agreement about different things that they needed to do. Ete and Merut smiled; trying to contain themselves until all had left. The two looked to each other.
It started as a small, almost inaudible squeal, but soon grew to a full-out scream of happiness.
"YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!" The two screamed, the echoes bouncing off of every crevice in the dale, making an angelic tone of brilliance to their ears. Ete did several of her happy dances; Merut jumped up and down with utter happiness.
"We're elves!" Merut said, landing down on the ground, slightly bouncing.
"We can use our accents!"
"No Missy!"
"No sisters!"
"No Mom!"
"No Dad!"
"Completely unsupervised!"
"AND WE'RE ELVES!" Ete screamed.
"But wait!" Merut said, steadying Ete.
"Whaaat?" Ete said, standing vaguely still.
"We can't be Meredith and Abby anymore. We'll be Ete and Merut, respectively."
"Aw, freak." Ete said, sitting down on the pedestal that once held the ring. The two were silent for a couple seconds... but it didn't last.
"I never liked Abbatha anyway!" Merut said, jumping to action.
"Ditto with Meredith!" Ete said, springing off the pedestal and striking a pose with Merut. "We're cute!"
"We're SCAdian!"
"And we're in Middle-Earth!" the two said, trying to flex the girly muscles they both did not have.
"A hem." Said a voice behind them. The two froze. "I thought you two would like an escort."
Ete and Merut looked to each other, un-flexed the muscles and turned around slowly. Legolas was standing there. He had changed into the normal attire of blue and green and out of the velvet-elven-fabric-robe-thing he was wearing before.
"E-escort?" Merut said, very nervously.
"Yes." Legolas said, a bit more comfortable. "To the marketplace to get the things you need."
Merut looked to Ete in an expression that Ete had never seen in Merut before. Ete rolled her eyes to Merut.
"That would be wonderful." Ete said, making her voice sound smoother and more musical than the normal tone of fast-talking.
"Besides," said Merut, catching on. "We don't really know the currency around here."
Legolas smiled. "Very well. Please come with me." And then, the three spent an afternoon of shopping in Imaldris.
Merut got a crossbow with twenty bolts, two tunics with two pairs of black pants, a green cloak, a new hat and a leather quiver to carry all of them in.
Ete got two traveling dresses with black pants to wear underneath, a black cloak, a new hat, a bow, twenty arrows, and two daggers to put in her brand new boots, a quiver and a satchel.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey there, ho there! I'll get cracking on the new chapter, people. Don't worry about it! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, ABBY?!?!?! By the way, Merut and Ete are based on myself and my friend Abby and our alternative lives really are in the SCA as Maruit and Ete. Yes, I know I spelt it wrong in the story, but I didn't know how to spell it when I first wrote it and hey! I like it that way. Easier to pronounce that way!
