".Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a snail.no, pail of water."
"Shut up Legolas!" slurred Arwen, from the floor. They were in a small room
off the main hall where the main party was taking place. The three of them
had decided to retire into this side room for some privacy, and to save
Arwen the humiliation of having to watch her drunken father pole dance.
Aragorn was lying beside her, staring out the window, counting the stars.
".5,893.5,894.5,895." he muttered to himself. Legolas grinned wickedly.
".6,783.8,952.7,915." he shouted from the sofa, where he was stroking his
now fuzz-free legs.
"Leggy!" complained Aragorn. "I've lost my place now!" He made as if to sit
up, but feeling a headache coming on, he flopped back down again on top of
Arwen.
"Ooof" said Arwen. "Ouch! Stop digging your elbow into my boob!" she rolled
over and picked up the rum bottle. "Aww. It's empty."
"Noooooo!" exclaimed Legolas. "Gone?!?! Why's rum gone?"
"Because we drank it all." pointed out Aragorn, sitting up.
"But.but."
"I'll go get some more," said Arwen decidedly. Swaying, she got to her feet
and stumbled out of the room.
With a groan Aragorn sank back down again. Legolas crawled off the sofa and
lay down next to him, face to face with Aragorn, grinning from ear to ear.
"Do you know what we should do?" he asked goofily.
"What?" asked Aragorn tiredly.
"We could go and count how many trees are in Imladris." he said. "I've
always wanted to know that.
"Legolas," said Aragorn patronisingly. He was of course, the least drunk
out of the three of them, and sobering fast. "That could take days."
"Exactly." laughed Legolas. "Anyway, it would be fun." he added brightly.
Just at that moment, Arwen came back into the room carrying a half bottle
of whiskey, two bacardi breezers and a full bottle of vodka.
"Let's get smashed boys!" she announced, before flopping onto the sofa
giggling. Aragorn stood up and leant over her.
"Hun, I think you've had enough to drink." He said gently. Arwen giggled
and put a finger to her lips.
"Shhhhh!"
She squealed as Aragorn picked her up in his arms. "My hero!" she smiled.
Aragorn rolled his eyes, smiling back at her.
"Come on, you two need some fresh air. We're going outside," he said.
"Yay!!" yelled Legolas. "Can I count the trees?" he asked.
"If you want." replied Aragorn, leading the way outside.

"Oooh. Dark." remarked Arwen, looking around her. Legolas whimpered from behind her. He caught up with her and grabbed her hand tightly, looking around at the trees, as if expecting some creature to appear any moment. "Don't tell me you're afraid of the dark?" asked Aragorn jokingly. When Legolas just looked at him petrified, he started to chuckle. "An elf scared of the dark!? I'll have to remember that one!" As they walked on through the woods, the only sound that they heard was an owl hooting in the distance. Suddenly Arwen stepped on a twig. Legolas spun round sharply. "What was that?" he whispered. Arwen giggled. "Just a twig silly." she said laughing. She broke free of Legolas and ran into a clearing. "Wow! This place looks so beautiful at night." she said, spinning round and round, her arms spread out. Aragorn stopped and stared at her transfixed. She looked so beautiful. He walked towards her and slid his hands sown her arms, their hands joining. Legolas stood on the edge of the clearing, still frantically looking around for danger. Suddenly he ran back the way they came, screaming. Arwen, startled, looked in his direction, but he was gone. She laughed. "The silly twit. He's gone and scared himself half to death." Just at that moment, Arwen and Aragorn heard an almighty splash, followed by a piercing scream. "AAAGGHHHRRRRR!!!!! I'M ALL WET!!!!!"
