AN/ here I am again, typing up this piece of mindless dribble that you guys seem to enjoy so much. I seriously can't believe I have 73+ reviews! I am so stoked!

Mr Bean: hello hello! Been wondering if you'd read this or not! Glad you like it. About your word. stupid word. Besides it was Frodo saying. sue him! You should be flattered that I chose to use your word. He he. Oh yea, saw the Matrix today and I can officially say the LOTR is better.

Tamara: the party chapter (s) might take a little while. The fellowship still need to make their costumes and stuff! Enjoy this update!

Anthem: glad you think this is funny, written to be entertaining! About the carp, it was a typo and I was too lazy to fix it, so I went along with it. Hehe, just for the record, ive never actually eaten carp. hmm.

Meg: you're very much welcome! Glad you wanted to come to out little party! Enjoy this update!

Dragonflight: *sighs and pulls pepper out of the cupboard. Hands it to Loki and smiles. * Hope you don't mind that I sorta messed with everyone's personalities; besides, it wouldn't be as funny if Legolas was perfectly in character. What's funny about a VERY handsome natural blonde who is perfectly calm at all times? (As much as I love that elf, it was funny to mess with him) Chapter 10? Ok, I'll do that now. Actually, I think I might read the whole thing. I don't know a thing about Zoids but I'll give it a read anyway. Very honoured to be your guest of honour! *Jumps up and down* thankyou thankyou thankyou! *Bites into the imported chocolate* yummy!

Irishancest: sorry about that, but I really DO NOT like classical music. Sorry if I kinda offended you. On a lighter note glad you like this story!

Jayden: oopsies, I made you cry. Don't worry; Leggie is just as gorgeous with brown hair I'm sure! ( I can't really accept any more requests for the party. but, seeing as how I'm very happy you reviewed, you can come, but only coz you're special!

Kiss the Fame: Really like the idea about Legolas and the ketchup bottle, that sounds really funny. Normally, once I tell everyone that no more people can come, that's it. but, as I said to Jayden, I can squeeze you in too, but only cos you left such a nice review! I am so flattered that you think me intelligent; I don't get those comments very often! Lol! Hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Achoo: veddy bad it is! Not quite to my taste! Don't worry, there shouldn't be any classical, or J-lo at the party, unless out pikachu dj decides to be evil. Hehe. Enjoy this chapter!

LotRseer3350: don't forget to bring your dancing shoes to the party! Of course you can chase the hobbits in a mad frenzy! The crazier the better! Sorry about the classical music bit, its not quite to my taste, erm, ok, I hate it. but that's just my opinion. Very cool that you play the violin, I have about as much musical talent as a river pebble! More random appearances by people! Maybe you if you're lucky! Enjoy this one! Oh yea, you're welcome; your story really well written! Very cute too! Write more!!

Hex of the Unseelie: sorry, checkout chick isn't Sauron. But you definitely wouldn't expect to see this person in a blonde wig working at Woolworth's (AN/ supermarket chain here in Aus.) Legolas and his bloody hair! Why blonde? Well, I suppose its better than icky, mousy poo brown, like my hair. Hehe, I want pink hair! Pink!!

Holly: doesn't really bother me which chapter you review, providing you do. I love reviews!! It's always so nice to see all these wonderful little messages in your inbox! Ok, I'm gonna stop rambling. soon. No Leggie wasn't hurt, I don't think. Besides, he was too shocked seeing me! Mwa haa haa!

Legolas stalker: what? I'm sure I got you on the party list. Did you review before? *Shrug* oh well, you can come now. What do you wanna come as? There was a Legolas action figure from burger king?! Damn! We only got stupid little monster thingies, I want a Legolas thingy!! I love reviewing things! Nearly as much as I like getting em! You're very welcome! Write more!! We needs more!!!

Saturndragon: sorry, I have to keep Gimli's costume a secret. It will make it heaps funnier when the party comes around. Don't worry though, I might give out little hints, the fellowship still needs to finish their party shopping. As for me, I was thinking of coming as a gherkin! Hehe, or not. I really don't have much idea, give me some ideas!!

Wow! If I'm not careful these review comments will be longer than this chapter! Nah! Never!

Disclaimer: Lamoo: "Mwa haa haa! Middle earth is mine! Mine mine mine!"
Tolkien: "Ahem,"
Lamoo: "Who the heck are you?"
Tolkien: *Rolls eyes* Never mind
Lamoo: "K" *Shrugs*

As anyone can see, this would never happen! I don't own Lord of the Rings! As much as I would like to, I don't. Get the picture?

Ok, I'd better stop rambling now and get on with the fic. Here is chapter 7!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Previously in 'the fellowship and the elf next door', the fellowship went shopping, Lamoo made some random appearances, Legolas's trolley crashed and Frodo screamed at the checkout chick.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"YOU!!" Frodo continued to scream. Aragorn rolled his eyes and put his hands over his ears. Legolas did the same, his sensitive elven ears throbbing and burning.

Sam, Merry and Pippin pounced on Frodo; Pippin grabbed the nearest packet of marshmallows and stuffed them, packet and all, into Frodo's mouth. The hobbit stopped screaming and the others got a look at the checkout chick, which turned out to be.

"Gollum!?"

"Yes *sob* it is us," the pathetic creature wailed.

Legolas blinked and rubbed his eyes. "What did you do to your hair!" he said, not believing that this was the same, hairless, bulging eyed creature he had seen in Mirkwood cowering in front of him wearing a lime green boob tube, denim mini skirt and a curly blonde wig.

"Oh, you likes it precious?" Gollum said, cheering up a bit. "We gets it done at the salon, nice elf called Anelith does it precious!"

"Are you kidding? Can't you see your complexion is all wrong for blonde hair?!"

"You thinks so? We wanted to see if blondeses really do have more fun"

"I suppose,"

"Uh, guys? Sorry to break up your hair talk, but we have more shopping to do." Broke in Aragorn, just as Legolas and Smeagol were starting to talk more comfortably with one another.

Legolas nodded and picked up a few bags of things and followed the rest of the fellowship back towards the car. Smeagol waved and turned to serve the next customer. Pippin doubled back just as the next person began to load her purchases up on the counter.

"Uh, Smeagol?"

"Whats does it want? What does the hobbit want?"

"Uh, we're having a party next weekend, you wanna come?" Pippin asked.

Gollum squealed with delight and twirled his finger around one of his oh so fake curls. "Can we brings a friend?" he asked.

Pippin shrugged. "I guess so, who?"

"Precious? Want to come?" Gollum seemed to ask himself.

He grinned and nodded. "We'd Luvs to! We sees you next Saturdays then?"

"Ok," Pippin said and turned to leave.

Gollum smiled and turned to serve the girl who was patiently waiting to be served.

"Hello, we welcomes you to Woolworth's."

"Uh hi." Said the girl as she started to load her purchases onto the counter. "Heard there's a party next weekend," Emi Lou said.

"Yesss, and we'ss is goings precious!"

Emi Lou nodded. "Where is this so called party?" she asked.

"Fellowship's house we supposes." Gollum replied, pushing some buttons on the cash register.

"Right, Saturday night?" Emi Lou asked, now determined she was going to somehow get into this party.

Smeagol nodded and pressed a button. "That'll be $16.45."

Emi Lou nodded and rummaged through her purse. She handed Gollum the money and picked up her bags. As soon as she walked out of the shop she sat down on a bench and laughed evilly.

"When's the party?" a voice asked. Jayden popped her head out of the pot plant she was hiding behind.

Emi Lou grinned at her companion. "Next Saturday," she said and laughed. Jayden beamed and sat down on the bench next to Emi Lou and helped her eat her supply of chocolate bullets.

(AN/ hope you two liked your cameo appearances. At the moment the fellowship doesn't even know who you are. But believe me, they will. *Cackles evilly*)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Back at the car, Aragorn was having a little difficulty squishing all the fellowship's purchases into the boot. (AN/ the 'trunk' of your car for all you American people who call that thingy at the back of the car where you put stuff a 'trunk'. Don't know why it's called a boot, or a trunk. Please bear with me!) Gandalf had left his golf clubs there so there was hardly any room for anything else. (Unless you felt like jamming Pippin in the boot! Which might I add, Gimli often did.)

The fellowship eventually managed to squash their things in the car and they all headed back into the mall to buy the things they would need for their costumes.

They all dawdled into the craft store. Legolas went to find suitable fabric to make a teabag costume out of, Gimli went looking for yellow wool, and Aragorn was looking for feathers. As for the hobbits, Pippin was buying some glitter and cardboard to make his fairy wand out of, Merry was looking for rope and Sam was trying to work out how the hell he was going to make a jelly bean costume.

Frodo was browsing, looking for anything that might resemble black eyeliner for his Cleopatra outfit when he noticed a hobbit watching him.

"Uh, hello," Frodo said politely.

The girl grinned and bounced over to where Frodo was standing. "Hi, I'm Anya," she said very enthusiastically.

"Hi I'm Frodo,"

"I know," Anya retorted. "I see you around all the time,"

"That's funny, I've never really seen you,"

Frodo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable under Anya's piercing gaze. Picking up a few random things Frodo headed over to see what the rest of the fellowship were up to. (AN/ yes I know, in your fic, Anya is Frodo's sister. In this fic I am afraid Frodo has no siblings so we can just pretend that Anya likes to stalk the hobbits or something)

"Bye Frodo! See you at the party!" Anya yelled after Frodo.

The hobbit stopped dead in his tracks and dropped his armful of items. "Party?"

"Yea! Sam invited me! Bye!" Anya said and moved off in the other direction.

Frodo gulped and wandered over towards where Merry and Pippin were arguing over something or other.

"Found what you need?" Merry asked, selecting some brown fabric that would do nicely for his cowboy waistcoat.

Frodo sighed. "More than that," he said glumly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Which do you think is better?" Gimli asked Gandalf, holding up two samples of Fabric. Both were a greeny suede kind of fabric and Gandalf was sure he had seen garments of that colour somewhere before.

"Not sure, what are you dressing up as?" asked the wizard, putting his hands on his hips.

Gimli frowned but decided to tell Gandalf anyway. The wizard bent down and grinned when Gimli whispered into his ear.

"That one," Gandalf said, pointing to the material in Gimli's left hand. "You might need brown too,"

The dwarf nodded and carried his purchases over to the counter.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Aragorn was loading his basket up with packets of yellow feathers when Legolas appeared beside him, holding some white fabric, wire, some yellow cardboard and some rope among other things (boring stuff like glue and thread).

"What's that for?" Aragorn asked the elf, gesturing to the yellow cardboard.

"Oh, don't teabags always have that little cardboardy thingo on the end? I figured my teabag should too." Legolas replied, smiling.

Aragorn nodded, shrugged and he and Legolas went to pay for their items.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Soon after, the whole fellowship strode out of the store, arms full of bags and such. All were investigating each other's parcels and Legolas was quite puzzled by Gimli's purchases. Inside the dwarf's bag there was a whole lot of yellow wool, some green and brown fabric, black leathery stuff and gold fabric paint.

"What are you coming as?" Legolas asked the dwarf who was trying to avoid eye contact.

"Not telling," mumbled Gimli, hugging his bags closer to him, away from prying eyes.

The elf shrugged. "Suit yourself," he said and went to see what Gandalf had bought. The elf rolled his eyes when the wizard showed him the pearly pink fabric and the little seashell doohickies that he was supposed to be wearing in his hair and/or beard. (AN/ wait, I always thought mermaids were female and BEARDLESS!?)

Aragorn unlocked the car and the fellowship clambered in. Legolas shoved the ranger to the side and slid into the drivers seat himself. "Hang on!" the elf yelled and put his foot down hard. The purple hippie van roared out of the car park and down the road. Oddly enough it did not hit anyone.

Suddenly there was the sound of sirens and Legolas swore quite loudly, along with Aragorn. He knew the elf was speeding, not to mention driving without a licence.

A police car sped along beside them and the policeman signalled for them to pull over. Either Legolas did not see or rather, chose not to see his signals for the elf kept driving, windows down and the wind whipping everyone's hair about.

"Legolas, pull over," yelled Gimli from the back.

The elf laughed and sped up, turning a corner sharply to avoid colliding with a lamppost. Cars on either side beeped and yelled abuse but the elf kept on driving.
