***This has taken *quite* a turn, I never thought the story would be this
long but everyone seems to like it so I don't see a reason to
stop.....though I am open to suggestions.......I am a man....er...woman of
the people, feel free to tell me anything......and I still need a middle
name.....***
"ARAGORN!"
Aragorn bolted awake and jumped to his feet, looking around quickly to make sure the two most important things were OK; Legolas and Galáril. He ran into the nursery and saw that Galáril had slept through the ruckus. He was just about to run into the kitchen to look for Legolas when he heard it again.
"Aragorn get your ass over here!" Aragorn bolted to Sam and Frodo's room where the screaming had come from. As soon as he entered the doorway, a weeping blonde thing launched at him. Aragorn looked down in confusion and patted Legolas' back awkwardly.
"What is it? What happened?" Aragorn asked. Legolas looked up at him and then began to weep even harder, and Aragorn attempted to decipher exactly what it was he was saying in between the sobbing.
"It- it- it's soooo horrible.....they-what the hell were they thinking......WHY?!" Legolas cried. Aragorn took a deep breath and put a hand over a very surprised Legolas' mouth.
"OK....calm down, take a deep breath and tell me exactly what it is that you are babbling about." Aragorn said firmly. Legolas' face darkened a little at the word 'babbling' but he did as he was told.
"I came in this morning to see if Sam fancied some blueberry muffins and there was no one here. Of course I'm not one to panic-Oh shut up..." Legolas said pausing as Aragorn threw him a doubtful look, "Anyway I searched everywhere before I began to panic. That's when I found this....." Here Legolas reached down and picked up a creamy coloured envelope and handed it over to Aragorn, who in turn opened it and began to read.
The letter was addressed to Legolas, and was written in Sam's hand.
Dearest Legolas,
You have been such a comfort and a true friend in times of trial, which is making it even harder for me to tell you this....but you must be told, I don't want you to worry or find out from someone else.
Frodo and I have eloped.
I know what you're thinking now, 'how could we be so stupid?' right? But in truth the stress is really getting to me....I don't know if I can take much more of it. So I've gone, I won't tell you where for fear of you trying to change my mind, but I will tell you this.
You are my very best friend, and I want to thank you for all the effort you put forward, and I'm truly sorry for all the trouble I have caused.
Sam
Aragorn looked up slowly from the letter and shrugged at a seething Legolas.
"Well there isn't much that we can do now is there?" Aragorn said easily. Legolas glared at Aragorn.
"Just you wait and see. We are going to find them even if it kills us......."
"Uh.....we?"
"What you don't think we're a team, you think you're *better* then me? Let me tell you something Aragorn, I was a perfectly happy and free elf before you came along and knocked me---wait a minute I knocked you up......either way you ruined me. You-"
"OK OK" Aragorn said crossly, "I'll go then."
"Fine then it's settled, we'll leave right away." Legolas said, sounding satisfied.
"No need," Aragorn and Legolas jumped at the sound of a voice behind them, "We came back."
***Well we are VERY close to having a winner so I hope that everyone reviews and I don't have to go and stalk people at night.***
