(Sam) Hey there! I know, where have we been? Well, you know that notebook Jess was talking about in the author note for the last chapter? Well, she lost it, for a little. I found out on the 4th of July that she had misplaced it and started pressuring her to try and find it. She found it last week, finished writing her chapter (which is only a page long) and gave it to me. So, here's your update! But first, some responses:

~* Chapter 9- Chicago*~

~* Legolas POV *~

Liz and Tracy decided we should go see a movie called 'Chicago.' I knew not what a 'Chicago' was but Liz told me it was a city in Illinois.

"In what?" Aragorn asked.

"Illinois is a state in the United States," Tracy started to explain. "Sort of like Hobbiton is a city in the Shire."

Liz and Tracy decided Aragorn and I should go sit in the kitchen. Liz was going to take a nap on the couch and Tracy on her bed. Tracy gave me a kiss and Liz gave one to Aragorn. The girls then went to take their naps. Aragorn and I talked in the kitchen and guessed what 'Chicago' would be about. Neither of us had a good idea. I knew Aragorn was tired so I suggested that he go take a nap on the Laz-Z-Boy. Knowing that this chair was located near the couch, he gladly accepted. I noticed the happy smile on his lips as he left.

I called after him quietly, "I hope your breath doesn't smell bad."

He turned around and shot me an angry look, but then laughed as he entered the other room.

My mind drifted back to last night with Tracy. She was one of the nicest women I had ever met. She was kind, bright, and as fair and beautiful as an elf. I remembered her saying to me,

"The one thing I never understood about Lord of… your story, is that…" She trailed off, not finishing her statement.

"That what?" I asked, urging her to continue.

"Never mind, it was a stupid thought."

"There is no such thing as a stupid thought coming from your lips," I said, running my hand down her check. Then, I leaned over and kissed her. "You can tell me anything."

Well," she began slowly, "I always wondered why Aragorn got the girl, not you. You're way more appealing that him, at least I think so. Liz thinks differently."

I kissed her softly again. "I don't care what Liz thinks, only what you think."

She smiled and then leaned over to kiss me. She was almost done, but I reached my hand up and touched her check, indicating that I did not want her to stop. We stayed that way for a long time, just kissing each other. I heard Aragorn come in at one point, but ignored him. All that mattered to me then was Tracy.

I snapped out of that world and came back to the present. The thing I wanted most at that moment was to be with Tracy, so I walked to the door of her room. I opened it slowly and popped my head in. I knew right away that Tracy was awake. Her breathing was not as slow as a human's gets when they fall asleep. I walked over to the bed she was sleeping on and put my arm around her. She rolled around so she was facing me and smiled.

"Have you slept at all?" I asked.

"Yah, for about fifteen minutes, but I don't need much sleep. I'm fine." After finishing, she yawned sleepily.

I smiled "Why don't you try to go to sleep. I'll lye right here, next to you."

"Thanks," she said and gave me a quick kiss as she turned back over. I wrapped my hands around her and kissed the top if her head. Ten minutes, Tracy was asleep. We lay that way for about an hour. Then Liz came in as said it was time to go see the movie. Tracy and I walked out of the apartment holding hands. We walked to contraption that looked like the bus we had used on our first day here, except smaller. It also looked like it had been through more. Liz saw the confused looks on my and Aragorn's faces.

"A car," she explained. "Tracy, you and Legolas wanna sit in the back now and we'll sit in the back on the way home."

"OK," Tracy said smiling. She pulled on my hand. She opened the rear door and slid over to the opposite side. I slid in after her. She was now sitting on the far left and I was in the middle. Liz sat in the seat in the front-left that had a large wheel at the front of it. Aragorn sat on the far right. Liz and Tracy told us to put these straps around us called 'seat belts.' Liz turned a small key in a slot. When she did, the car jumped, along with Aragorn and I. Tracy placed her hand on my knee to calm me down.

"It's ok," she told me, "that jump means the car's working." The car started moving and Aragorn and I relaxed.

"So," I asked Tracy, "what is this 'Chicago' about? Aragorn and I were trying to guess, but we had no ideas."

"Well, it's about this girl named Roxie. She's married to this guy named Amos, but cheats on him with this guy. But she shoots the guy and ends up in jail. Then she gets this lawyer named Billy and-"

I had kissed her to silence her. "This movie sounds somewhat confusing," I said to her.

"Well, if you don't understand it," she said, "there's some other things we could do."

"Would this be something I would enjoy?" I asked as I ran my hand down her arm.

"You tell me." She leaned into the corner of the seat.

"I think I shall enjoy it very much," I said in a voice barely above a whisper. I leaned over and kissed her. She returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around me. I moved my hand up to her check and lost touch with the rest of the world. Only too soon, the car slowed down.

"We're here," Liz said and smiled back at us.

"Did you have a nice trip?" Aragorn asked with a sly smile.

"Dina," I told him. I would remember that remark for the ride back home. Tracy opened the door on her side of the car and stepped out. I followed her out and took her hand. We walked into a building that had a sign reading 'Star Theater.' We walked up to a woman behine a counter.

"Four for Chicago please," said Liz as she started to pull some green paper out of her purse.

"This one's on me," said Tracy and pulled some green paper out of her pocket.

"18-64 please," said the woman behind the counter. Tracy gave the woman a green piece of paper and she gave Tracy some back.

"Thanks," said Liz as she put her green paper back into her purse. The woman behind the counter handed us four small pieces of paper. We then walked to a door that had 'Chicago' written above it. We walked into a dimly lit room with many chairs. The chairs were all facing a large moving picture.

"How does the picture move?" Aragorn asked.

"Um, projection. I can't really explain it. It's somewhat like a shadow," Liz explained. "That's where the movie will play."

We walked to about the center of the 'theater.' Tracy sat on my right and Aragorn and Liz on my left. We all talked for a while. Then, the lights dimmed and everything went quiet. A voice started telling us of 'movies soon coming to theaters.' There was one 'preview' (as Liz called them) that had Aragorn and I sitting on the edge of our seats. It was for a movie called 'The Return of the King.' Tracy and Liz tried to take our attention away from the preview, but we were too interested. The preview was about the end of our adventures. But it couldn't be, that hadn't happened yet. Even weirder, the people in the preview looked exactly like us.

"When you guys go back, you have to pretend you never saw that. Can you promise us that?" Liz asked.

"Yes m'lady," said Aragorn kissing Liz's hand.

"Of course," I said, doing the same to Tracy.

"Thank you," said Tracy. I put my arm around her shoulder and she snuggled into my grasp.

The movie began and I was lost within fifteen minutes. When Roxie pulled out a shiny silver thing, (much like the ones the men had pointed at us the one night) there was a bang and this man fell over. I was lost from that moment on.

A few minutes later, Tracy leaned up to my ear. "You lost yet?"

"I have been for a few minutes."

She smiled at me. "That's ok. We thought you'd get lost."

"Well," I whispered into her ear, "I can always get lost in something else." At that, I leaned down and kissed her. We entered our own world and didn't return until the lights came back on. When they did, I gently pulled away.

"Time to go," I said. We turned to Aragorn and Liz, who still had their lips locked. "Aragorn, did you get lost, too?" They slowly pulled away and stood up. With my arm around Tracy, we walked to the car. Tracy sat at the place with the big wheel, I in the other front seat, and Liz and Aragorn in the back. As we pulled out onto the busy street, I heard Liz and Aragorn talking, just as Tracy and I had. Soon, I heard nothing but the sounds of the road. Suddenly, there was a loud squeak.

"Oh my God!" Tracy screamed. There was a sudden impact and a clash as the piece of glass in front of me shattered. Then, all I saw was black.
