Chapter III: Get Off the Elf!

Umm…I guess he's decent. But I wouldn't say 'glorious hotness.' Wait, why am I checking out another guy?? Shawn came back into reality. Chloe dropped her purse on the ground. She stared dumbfounded at the elf, letting her mouth drop open without a care. Legolas stared back at her, refusing to break eye contact or make any movement. He looked as if he would attack at any moment. Shawn grabbed Chloe's arm and yanked her backwards.

"Chloe! It's just a guy in a costume, I swear!"

"He's real. He's actually real," Chloe mumbled under her breath. She tried to walk forward, to see the elf up close, but Shawn restrained her.

"No! It's not real! He's just a friend!"

"Shawn! You have no friends who look like him!" Chloe shouted angrily. "Let me go!" She snuck her foot in back of his and kicked forward. Shawn started falling and lost hold of Chloe's arm. He landed in the dirt with a thud as Chloe walked up to the picnic table. Shawn looked over at Legolas and saw he was becoming agitated. Oh no! He's going to attack her! Then the most unexpected thing happened.

Hello! My name's Chloe! Legolas facial expression went from anger to surprise. Shawn lifted himself off the ground and stared at Chloe. Did she just speak Elvish?

"Chloe?" Shawn muttered as he stood straight up.

"Yeah, that's right, Mr. There's-No-Elf-Here. I speak Elvish! Looks like those countless months of precious online time learning a fictional language have paid off!" Shawn only gaped at her. She frickin learned Elvish? Wow, that's sad. Wait…no, that's a good thing!

How is it that you know Sindarin? Interjected Legolas. Chloe waved her hand as if to dismiss something.

Well, I had to learn it so I could charm Haldir! And to make fun of people without them knowing what I'm saying. Chloe sat down next to him. So, how'd you get here? Is Haldir here too?!

"What are you telling him?! Chloe! We need to get him out of the open, and it looks like you're ready to have a casual conversation with him! Come on! There's like twenty dead orc bodies up at the football field!" This caught Chloe's attention.

"Dead…orcs…" she stuttered. "How cool is that!?! Let's go see!"

Why do you have pink hair? Legolas asked as he stared at the freakishly dyed locks. Shawn didn't know what he was saying, but he didn't care. He let out a frustrated cry and turned back to them.

"Look. I have to go get Megan. Promise me you won't harass him, or let anyone see him?"

"No problem!" Why do I think I have made a horrible horrible mistake? Shawn knew she liked Haldir over Legolas, but he also knew that she would never pass up the chance to make a move on an elf. She had before when she went with Shawn and Nina to the mall once. They were walking down to the music store when they passed a guy with long blond hair. Nina and Chloe both gasped and shouted at the top of their lungs,

"LEGOLAS!" While Nina just squeezed Shawn's arm in excitement, Chloe had run up to the guy and wrapped herself around him. The guy was utterly confused, to say the least. As he tried to pry Chloe off him, Nina took out her camera and took countless numbers of pictures. Throughout the whole thing, Shawn was glad that he hadn't decided to dress up as Legolas for Halloween that year. The whole incident left Shawn with the impression that Chloe wasn't just after Haldir. She went for all the Lord of the Rings characters. Maybe even the goblins too.

He rounded the corner and passed the buses to the front of the school. He waited with the rest of the parents for his little sister to come out. Once she was released from the school, he took her hand and brought her back to the playground in back of the school. Megan asked him why they were heading back there.

"I have a friend back there that's coming over our house. Now, he's crazy and doesn't know English and he's dressed up like an elf. So don't make fun of him." Megan laughed the high squeaky laugh that all seven-year olds have. When they turned the corner, Shawn saw why he was afraid to leave Chloe alone with Legolas. Her arm was draped around his neck and she was attempting to sit on his lap.

So, how much do you know about Haldir? Is he…big? Legolas looked so frightened.

"CHLOE! Get off him! What are you trying to do?! Seduce him?!? I thought you had the hots for Haldir!" Chloe stood up defensively.

"I do. But what are the odds I'll ever have the chance to flirt with an elf ever again? So might as well get it out of my system now and get all the information about Haldir that I can obtain." Shawn sighed. What was he going to do? He needed Chloe to translate everything that Legolas said. Damnit. This sucks.

"Okay, time to head to my house!"

"Why?" asked Chloe.

"Because we don't want Legolas out in the open. Tell him we're going to my house so that people won't get suspicious." Chloe pouted, but did as she was told. Legolas said something to her, and Chloe laughed and grabbed his arm as they started walking to Shawn's house. Shawn just wanted to kill himself, and Megan…Megan was tugging at Legolas' pant leg.

After passing by the "metal creatures from hell," as Legolas put it, (okay, so it was something like that, Chloe wasn't as good a translator as she thought she was!), they walked down a back road for about ten minutes before coming upon Shawn's house. The whole way over, Chloe questioned Legolas about Haldir. Apparently, Legolas didn't know too much about his 'size' and was a little confused about what she meant. And Chloe being the prude-perv that she was didn't want to explain to him what she really wanted to know.

"He probably doesn't know anyway. It's not like I'm measuring my friends…" Shawn told Chloe as he unlocked his door.

"Really? Cause I always thought since girls tell each other bra sizes, guys told each other—"

"DON'T FINISH THAT SENTENCE! (Girls tell each other that?!)" Shawn stuck his head around the door and shouted, "Hello? Mom, dad? Ya home?" No one answered. There is a god! Shawn led them all into the living room and threw himself on the big leather couch. Megan was still clutching Legolas' pants, and Chloe was raiding the fridge. She came back with some soda and popcorn she found in the closet. Legolas sat down on an armchair across from Shawn. They all just looked at each other, waiting for someone to speak first.

"So…how exactly did you guys run into each other?" asked Chloe, tossing a piece of popcorn in the air and catching it in her mouth. "I mean, it's not everyday that I get to run into an elf."

"I was up at the football field was this huge gust of wind knocked me into the fence. It was crazy! It was like there was a tornado or something. When it was over, I looked over at the field and Legolas was there kicking some orc-butt."

"I see…let me ask Legolas." She turned to face him. So, Legolas. How did you get here?

He thought for a moment, and then answered Chloe. We were going after Merry and Pippin. The orcs had captured them. Aragorn, Gimli, and I were pursuing them. Then I was here, along with a group of orcs. I do not know how they got here; how I got here for that matter. But I must return and help the hobbits! Chloe translated this for Shawn.

"That's odd," he said quietly. "It's like he's been sucked out of the book."

"Ya," chirped in Chloe as she munched on some more popcorn. "Just like those annoying fanfics. Although there was a good one about this girl and all her friends at a girls boarding school, and the teacher lady witch said that Legolas looked like a girl! It was too funny! A little bit romantic, but cute romantic!" She squealed and hugged a pillow.

"Ya, I don't care! But I'm guessing this isn't like that fanfic. I mean, it's not like in that Legolas was taped killing orcs. Or that he didn't understand a word of English. Or that…Chloe, get off him."

Chloe jumped out of Legolas' lap and back onto the loveseat. "Can't help it. It's the hormones. Maybe I should call Nina!" Chloe reached out for the phone next to her.

"NO!" Shawn made a mad leap for the cord and ripped it out of Chloe's hands. "It's bad enough that you know. I don't want Nina finding out. She'll fall in love with him, and we need to get him back before someone discovers those dead bodies and the surveillance tape!"

"Fine. Do what you want. But you know, you have to meet her at the football game tonight, remember? All the seniors won free admission to the game. So, what are you going to do about the bodies and Legolas?"

Shawn fell back onto the couch. "I don't know." He grabbed the TV remote and turned it on. Legolas became fascinated with the magical box, as Megan still grabbed at his pants.

"Megan, why are you doing that?" asked Shawn wearily.

"I wanna touch his ears!" she said, climbing the chair up to Legolas' head. He eyed her suspiciously as she reached out to his face. She lightly felt his pointy ears and his soft blond hair. Legolas picked her up and placed her in his lap. Megan giggled in delight as they both went back to watching TV.

"That's so cute!!!" said Chloe, wishing that she was Megan at that very moment. Shawn was a little worried at first, but after all that had happened that day, he didn't care. He changed the channel to the news, and his eyes literally bugged out.

"We are here at the Edison High School football field where an anonymous person tipped off the police about some suspicious bodies found dead in the field. They do not appear to be human, and after close examination, the police have yet to release what they are. The federal government has sent out several teams to investigate this scene, and no information has been released about what these creatures are or where they came from."

"Well, maybe you won't have to worry about Nina tonight."

tbc…

Wow. Either people don't like this anymore or I just suck! Lol. Well, I'm not going to ramble today. *very busy*, right josh?
