Chapter Five


That was really *hiccup* good... Aspen was making, or staggering, in this case, her way to her room. Satisfied that the kitchen had, indeed, had strawberry daiquiris (and a bunch of other interesting drinks she took the liberty to try), she decided to head up to bed. Thankfully, none of the other elves were there at the time she choose to get herself drunk silly.
THUD'! Aspen accidentally ran straight into the wall. she moaned, rubbing her forehead. She finally arrived at her bedroom door (by ramming her face into it), but unfortunately couldn't seem to remember how to open it.
What the fuck is this? she groaned, pushing on the door. When that didn't work, she started pounding on it with her fists, only to realize that it was already open. It swung a bit more with a creak. She stared at the door for a while, massaging her nose (which looked broken. Good thing she was numbed by the sky-high alcoholic levels in her blood. Sorta.) That is fucked up, she managed to mutter as she walked into the room and kicked the door shut behind her.
She practically ripped off her dress, threw it on the chest in front of her bed, and climbed in. She was out before she even hit the pillows.

Merry asked.
Frodo replied. The five were cloaked and waiting in the darkness of the forest. Frodo had agreed to let Serenity tag along to Bree, and even farther, if she decided to do so.
What's going on? Pippin questioned, confused as always.
Serenity smiled at his ultimate cuteness! That man on the horse was looking for something, she answered.
...Or someone, Merry finished as he walked up to Frodo. Apparently, Merry had his suspicions. Frodo turned to look dramatically at Meriadoc.
Get down! Pippin yelled. They fell to their hands and knees. A blackrider reared his horse in the distance in front of them. It lingered, seemingly wondering which way to go. Alycia let out a sigh as it chose to go farther away from them.
I have to leave the shire, Frodo said urgently. We need to get to Bree. Merry nodded his head, seemingly taking in all that he had said.
He thought for a second until his face lit up. Bucklebury Ferry! he exclaimed. Follow me! Merry, as well as the rest of them, got up and began to run east of the road. Everything seems okay...' Serenity thought uneasily. OF COUSE, something had to go wrong.
The blackrider suddenly broke through the trees, scaring the bejesus out of Alycia. Merry yelled. What happened next was just a blur of chaos. The next thing she knew, Serenity looked up to see the rider heading straight for her. She screamed as she braced her arms in front of her face and turned to looked the other way. But she never felt the hooves topple over her body. Instead, she felt someone grab her hand and pull her out of the way.
Frodo!! Follow me! she heard her savior shout over all the commotion. She opened her eyes and looked back to see Frodo cornered by the blackrider.
she screamed. She wanted to go back to help, but the hand around her wrist thought otherwise.
Hurry! Run! Frodo! Merry continued to yell. Frodo finally got out of the blackrider's hold and began to run after the others. They were coming to the river, Serenity could tell by the rushing water she heard. Merry dragged her, with Pippin, through the gate, while Sam thought it better to jump the fence. We're almost there!' she told herself. We're almost there!'
And so they were. Serenity and Pippin hopped onto the raft first.
Get the rope, Sam! Merry said as he grabbed an oar.
Sam yelled while he hastily unraveled the ropes that were tied to posts on the dock. Frodo was running down the path towards them, closely followed by the blackrider.
Serenity urged. Jump! You can make it, Frodo! I know you can!
Come on! Pippin encourged, along with Sam and Merry. The raft began to drift into the river's currents. Serenity almost thought that Frodo might not make it. He jumped from the very edge of the dock towards the raft. Miraculously, he landed on the raft, toppling over Sam and Serenity in the process.
All those aboard the raft looked towards the dock, where an extremely pissed blackrider reared his horse back in fury. Shrieks echoed through the crisp, cold air as three more blackriders rode past. The original blackrider turned and quickly joined the others.
How far to the nearest crossing? Frodo asked, panic-stricken as Sam helped him up.
The Brandywine Bridge, I think. It's at least twenty miles south. Serenity looked up at Merry, who had answered Frodo. He was staring at the docks, pushing the raft further down stream with his oar. She switched her gaze to Pippin, who's breath could be seen in the air by the lantern he was holding up. She wished there was something she could do to make them all a little less cold.
Hey, wait a tic!' she thought. Wasn't I suppose to be magical?' She probed her brain for any moments within the last 24 hours she had used that word. Yes!' she recalled. Sarah said that I would be a magical elf!' She was brimming with happiness. But then again, what does Sarah know?' she corrected herself. Oh, well, it's worth a shot.' She closed her eyes and thought of warmth. For a long time, she thought of nothing but making it warmer. After a while, she opened her eyes with a heavy sigh, decided that it wasn't going to work. Too bad she didn't notice that the hobbits had loosened their cloaks and unbuttoned the top buttons of their shirts.

No! Get OFF, you damn pigmees! I refuse to play you stupid chinese food mind games!! No! You can't make me smoke the tiger! Get away from me with those mutated monkeys!! AHHHHHHHH!!!! Aspen was turning and tossing and kicking in her bed, in the middle of a bad dream?
She awoke, though, when her foot actually made contact with another live being. She shoot up out of bed to see a figure kneeling on the floor, doubled over in pain.
Oh my gosh! I am so sorry! she apologized, getting out of bed to aid the poor gasping creature. Only then did she realize that the gasping creature' was none other than Legolas, her one true love. Now it was her turn to gasp.
Legolas' pain seemed to be fading, but in the moonlight, Aspen could see that he was blushing like mad. Maybe he is completely, totally, and madly in love with me!!' she thought out of the blue. She helped him up, taking to note that his eyes never left the floor.
Are you alright? she asked. Just as Legolas nodded, she felt a bit of a draft through the windows, and instinctively went to wrap her dress tighter around her. Only, she didn't have a dress.
In that one, shock-ridden moment, she thought hysterically that she was dreaming. But, no, that couldn't be true, for her dress was still laying in a heap on the chest. She turned about 12 different colors before turning and staying red, grabbing a sheet off her bed and wrapping herself in it.
I am SO sorry, she said, still red. Legolas, knowing she had at least covered herself up, finally brought his gaze up from the floor. Unable to hold in her curiousity any longer, she asked What are you doing in my room at this time of ni- I mean, morning? She tried, unsuccessfully, to regain at least some of her pride. Too bad there wasn't any to begin with.
I was told that this was to be my guest room. I guess Gedow was mistaken. I apologize. With that, he bowed and turned to leave the room.
Aspen cried out without thinking. Legolas looked to her, waiting to hear what she had to say. Think, Aspen. Think.... DING!' Are you sure that you're alright? I haven't hurt you, have I? she asked again, recovering her innocent look.
he replied. I am fine. Yea, I know,' Aspen sighed. But now I must be on my way. And then, he left. He slipped out the door and left. He left Aspen awing on the bed. He. Left. Aspen sighed dreamily, threw herself back on the bed, and fell asleep, dreaming about her first meeting with Legolas, her love....
