Chapter VI: The Fellowship Strikes Again
Legolas had had the feeling they were being watched the entire time. As he looked at this human in front of him, he could only wonder if this was who he felt. He certainly looked harmless; he was tiny! Barely making 5'2, he was sitting at the top of the stairs watching him and Shawn. However, there was something in his eyes that made Legolas tense. It was like they dug into him, some kind of sadistic amusement sparkled in them. He had seen them somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
Shawn, on the other hand, was freaking out. Did he know about Legolas or not?? Maybe he was waiting for a friend, or a policeman! Who knew what this guy was up to! Knowing that Legolas couldn't talk (it would give away his cover as a punk), Shawn had to figure out what Ron was after.
"So, uh, Ron, who exactly are you waiting for?" Please god, say anyone other than Legolas…oh and Nina, don't want find out she's cheating on me or something…
"I'm waiting for El. He was supposed to show up a few hours ago. But then all these news crews arrived when some orc bodies showed up. I hope El didn't get lost in the madness of it all. He's from another country."
Shawn sighed. There is a god! "Oh well then…I haven't seen anyone new here..." He chuckled nervously. "Well, I guess I have if you count all the news reporters and people like that. But I don't think we're allowed in here. Maybe we should head out? I'll keep a lookout for El if you like…"
Ron nodded and smirked. "That would be very helpful." He started to get up. "Give me a call if you find him." He walked down the hallway out of sight. Shawn thought for a moment before yelling up the stairs,
"Wait! I don't even know where you live, never mind your phone number!!" No one answered him. Oh well. He doesn't seem to know about Legolas, so I guess we're safe for now…
"HEY!" Shawn jumped as Chloe yelled through the walkie talkie. "You guys almost done?!? I thought you said you were a professional hacker!"
"SHUT UP, CHLOE! We ran into a little…problem…but no worries! We're on our way back now!"
"Damn straight. I miss my Legolas! Megan misses you Legolas! I think she needs a hug when you get back!"
They made their way down the rest of the stairs and into the art room. Legolas held his breath, for fear that what he was breathing was actually poison. They jumped out the window (after checking to make sure no one was watching) and made for the CIA van again. The guard, who happened to be the one from before, eyed at them, and Shawn fought the urge to kill himself for what he had to do.
"Legolas, please don't kill me..." As they walked by, Shawn put his arm around the Elf's waste, and the guard turned around again. Props to the people who can't watch two guys together! They are useful for something! Legolas, however, was slowly reaching for his Elven Blades of Doom, seeking revenge for once again "putting da moves" on him.
Unfortunately, yet again, Shawn had an ill fate. "I KNEW IT!" Shawn turned around quickly and saw Jared running up to him, camera in hand. "Now I have proof of your true colors!"
Shawn wanted to die. Of course, he could get into the school without anyone noticing, but getting out, he had to run into people who could potentially ruin the whole plan. What the hell and I going to do?!? As Jared waited for Shawn to come up with some kind of explanation (or who he was groping), a few cars started to drive up towards the field.
YES! We're standing in the middle of the road! The cars began to honk at the people who decided to have a conversation where they could be run over. Instead, the semi-decent drivers decided that cursing and honking would make them move—which it did. While Jared was forced to one side of the road, Shawn and Legolas were to the opposite. Without a second thought, Shawn took Legolas' arm and darted down the path that led to the primary school.
"Shawn!" he head Jared call his name in vain. Oh line of cars, run over his feet and make it so he cannot walk! They continued running all the way to Shawn's house, with a bewildered Elf wanting an explanation for why *twice* he had gotten close to him. Chloe opened the door, and happened to hear Legolas yelling at Shawn,
Why were you putting your arms around my waist?!? Why was that guy giving us strange looks?!? And why did that guy who we were supposed to avoid start running after you?? Chloe ran up and slapped Shawn.
"HOW DARE YOU TURN THIS INTO SLASH!" Shawn lay on the grass dazed as Chloe led Legolas inside the house, giving comforting advice. No matter what, I will never understand the workings of Chloe's mind…
~*~
A tall man clad in all black walked down the path away from the football field. What he found there led him to believe that his prey was somewhere in the vicinity. He also thought he had seen someone running that way as well.
"El!" The black haired man turned around and stared at the short teenager.
"Yes?"
Ron smirked. "They went that way. And make sure you don't kill him."

What's this? Legolas asked Chloe as she handed him a colorful box.
It's so you can learn English! You know, since you'll be staying with Shawn for a while until we figure out how to get you home! And that way I won't be forced to be a translator, no matter how much I love hearing you speak!
It was Saturday morning and Chloe was still there. She had called her mom, telling her that she was sleeping over Nina's. Shawn's dad wasn't home for some reason. Shawn had reason to believe he had stayed out all night drinking. Shawn already had a nice cover up story to tell his dad. "Why is this guy here?" his father would ask. "Because he's an exchange student, and I signed up for the program at the beginning of the year!" His dad would be too much in a drunken stupor to understand what was going on, so it would be alright for Legolas to stay for a while. Having Chloe stay for extended periods of time, however, was another matter.
All night long, she tried to sneak into Shawn bedroom, since Shawn had politely given up his room to the Elf and slept on the couch (Chloe got the spare room). Shawn would see her sneaking down the hallway, throw a pillow at her, watch her giggle and run back to her own room, get up to get his pillow, almost fall asleep, then the cycle would start over again. Due to this, Shawn didn't get a good amount of sleep, and he expected that Chloe would look the same as he did with the sags under his eyes. But no such luck came to our hero. Why is it that girls can look decent all the time? Maybe it's because there's an Elf present?
Shawn took a look at the box that Chloe had handed to Legolas. English for Dummies. That's not too degrading. "You're expecting him to first learn how to use a computer, second, learn the hardest language on Earth, and third, do all this in time for Monday?" Chloe shook her head very quick. "You're a dork."
"At least I'm trying to help!!" she yelled back at him. "I'm not going to be around here for the whole weekend. And don't think that I'm going to keep that nasty walkie talkie with me at all times so I can translate for you."
"Le-go-lass?" The tiny blond haired girl walked up to the Elf who was sitting on the couch.
"Mae, pen-neth?" (Yes, young one?)
She tugged at his pant legs and Legolas put her in his lap. As Chloe and Shawn argued, for who knows how many times, Megan started to braid some of Legolas' hair. As long as she didn't tug at it, Legolas didn't mind the seven year old. It reminded him of Mirkwood and his niece over there…
Shawn let out an exasperated sigh. "Fine! Teach the Elf to not only learn how to use a computer, but how about a whole language as well! I sometimes wonder about the way your brain works…" Receiving the official okay from Shawn, Chloe jumped around very excited and grabbed Legolas. He, Megan, and Chloe sat down in front of the computer while Chloe uploaded the disk and tried to explain to Legolas what they were doing in very little words.
Since I can't be around all the time, you have to learn English! Plus, we have no idea how to get you home, so learning our language would be an added bonus to your stay. She draped her arm around his shoulder.
Why is it that I have to learn your language? Why cannot Shawn learn Sindarin? He carefully lifted her arm away from his body.
Because Shawn is a sped and he can't do anything right.
What's a sped??
"Oh boy." Shawn took a chair and sat a little ways away from the little learning group. Now the tv was one thing. Legolas had thought that was great. But this, this was interactive! Not that he really understood what was going on, but he got the gist of it: move the "mouse" on the pad and the little arrow would move on the screen. If he hit the button over the area that said "hear," he would hear an English word and see a picture of what it meant. Not a very easy way of learning, but progress was progress. At the end of two hours, Legolas learned what a car was (he was still scared of the busses) and what a school was. Shawn had Chloe explain to Legolas that school was where kids were brought as some cruel and unusual punishment for childhood crimes that could not be tolerated. Legolas didn't know if this was a joke or not, and so just laughed anyway.
By the end of the day, as Chloe suspected, Legolas did learn a great deal. He was a fast learner (he was an Elf, even though that would have nothing to do with how fast he learns, Chloe just needed something to justify why her star pupil was so smart). In celebration for Legolas' achievement for his first sentence: See that Chloe run naked down the street (Shawn made him say naked), Chloe searched around Shawn's house until she found her treasure.
"TADA! Now we must watch this." She was holding the Fellowship of the Ring dvd in her hands. Legolas hardly understood a word she said, but did catch the words "fellowship" and "ring." He seemed completely interested. Shawn grabbed Chloe by the arm and pulled her aside.
"Are you sure? I mean, what would Legolas do if he saw this? We can't just let him see what happens in the future, or anything like that!"
"Don't worry! Weren't you paying attention at all during this?! Legolas said he was about to rescue Merry and Pippin. So that means he's in the Two Towers, which I have at my house."
"Where'd you get that? It's not out yet."
"Ya, New York is great. The bootleg is alright, the timing of the voices sucks. But forget that! Think of it this way: it already happened, so it's not like Legolas will be seeing into the future! He'll just be seeing into the past. Anyway, the first hour and a half is all about Frodo (who cares about that gay little hobbit!). OH my sweet Scottish Pippin! How I love you so!!"
"I thought you liked Elves…"
"I do. But the guy who plays Pippin is sooo Scottish…
What's that? This, my friend, is a pint! They come in pints? Mhhm. I'm getting one! But you've had half already!
God, gotta love those pints! Do you have a pint? I'm gonna make some popcorn."
With that, Chloe shoved the movie into Shawn's hands and skipped off while speaking in a Scottish accent about pints. Shawn sighed defeated and popped the dvd into the player. Legolas was sitting with Megan in his lap, once again. Megan was playing with his hair, and Legolas didn't seem to mind. Shawn sat down next to Legolas and Chloe came jumping in with a bowl of popcorn and a pint of soda.
"What is this?" asked Legolas, now knowing a little bit on English.
This, my friend, is a pint!! Chloe declared to Legolas, who looked bedazzled. Good God, she's drunk. Wait, nope, she's just Chloe, Shawn thought as he pushed play on the control. He turned off the lights as the violins played the haunting melody of the one ring…
tbc…
