Chapter Six: The Dangers of the 21st Century

The fridge in the garage was open. Empty soda bottles and juice boxes littered the ground. As they moved inside they say empty food wrappers and more bottles. Couch cushions were strewn across the floor and the remote control was hanging from the ceiling fan. The cat was trapped in what looked like a large Tupperware box with holes poked in the lid. The TV was off its stand and sitting on the floor. The VCR was lying in several places across the living room and on the stairs.

"What the crap?" Holly mumbled.

"You can say that again," Shawn responded.

"What the crap?"

"I tried to catch that cat for four hours," Jo said, tapping the Tupperware.

"I think there are more important issues at hand," Holly growled. "My mom's gonna kill me when she sees this."

"If she even notices it," Shawn said and Holly nodded.

"You are back!"

The girls turned in time to watch Haldir jump down the stairs and rush to Shawn to hug her. The elf's hair was in disarray and he couldn't seem to stand still.

"Is he on something?" Holly asked.

"Whatever was in those bottles did this to him," Aragorn replied, walking down the stairs calmly. "That dark, bubbly liquid you called coke."

"How many did he drink?"

"Two of the brown ones and seven of the green ones."

"Seven? He drank seven Mountain Dews in one day?" Jo asked, amazed. "I've only ever managed three and I could have rowed myself to the moon in canoe after all that."

Haldir took Shawn's hands in his and started dancing around the room, singing cheerfully to himself in Elvish.

"At least he's in tune," Holly commented.

"True. Where's everyone else?"

"The hobbits are sleeping upstairs and Gandalf followed Legolas."

"Followed?" all three girls asked in unison.

"He drank all the cans of that green liquid in the box and then suddenly took off."

"An entire box of Mountain Dew? How much soda did you drink?"

"None," Aragorn replied smugly. "It must be a spell if it has this kind of effect on the Elven kind."

"Not exactly," Jo mumbled.

"But it'll work for me," Holly interrupted. "Someone needs to clean this mess up."

"Yes milady!" Haldir shouted. He abandoned his impromptu dancing, gave Holly a sharp salute, and hurried about the room, picking up various objects. He continued to sing to himself loudly.

"How long do you think that'll keep him occupied?" Jo asked Shawn.

She shrugged. "We should probably go find Legolas and Gandalf in the meantime."

The doorbell rang.

The girls grimaced, Aragorn started and reached for his sword, and Haldir continued to sing and clean.

"Don't let him go outside," Jo said, giving Aragorn a push and following Holly to the door.

"Hey David," Holly greeted. "What's up?"

"I noticed the guys in your driveway. You guys going to a ren fair or something?"

"My driveway?" Holly asked, stepping outside. Legolas was staggering around in the driveway and Gandalf was watching him, chuckling to himself. "I'll get them."

"Or is it a con?" David asked.

"Ren fair," Jo answered quickly.

"I didn't know one was coming up. Where at?"

"Not here in Texas. In Colorado," Jo answered quickly. "Those guys are Holly's cousins and her mom made the costumes so they decided to come out here and pick them up."

"Wow," David whistled. "Her mom is really good."

"She's gonna make us some costumes too," Shawn said.

"That's cool. Think she'd do one for me?"

"I'm sure she would."

"Well, I gotta go work. Ask her for me?"

"Yeah. Sure."

"Thanks guys. Later," David said and walked back to his car with a wave.

"Later," Jo and Shawn shouted in unison.

"I didn't even noticed they changed their clothes back," Shawn said, watching Holly coral Legolas into the garage.

"I can't believe we didn't get caught."

"Its kinda far fetched you know. Makes more sense that they're from a con then from Middle Earth."

Jo nodded. "Don't let him have any more soda," she shouted to Holly.

"Haldir pookums!"

Short pointless and yet at the same time kinda funny. Well our computer is back. *hugs compy* Now I can go back and download Amvs. *drool*

Lookit all the people from my life that I can add into the story without them being a main character. I should probably tell people that I'm doing that. They may want to know. ~-^

Shawn left me a review the other day and she said I made her seem mean. Shawn's not mean, far from it. She's just very.....territorial. But if I was chasing after an elf I would be too. ^__^

And the thank you list. A big thank you too:
