A\N: Hey! Hope you enjoyed the first chapter of my story. Read and review
for more craziness ;) I still don't own anything except me, myself and this
story.
Chapter 2: In The Council of Elrond.or so you think.
Becky tossed a few suitcases and duffel bags off of her and got hesitantly to her feet.
She looked down for Missy and saw her struggling out from under a pile of suitcases.
Mere inches away sat a pedestal with a gleaming golden ring sitting atop it.
"Ooh Missy. You could have been splattered," Becky said and went to help unearth her cousin. "There's, like, this pedestal there and this pretty, pretty ringy. Ooh precioussssssssssssssss."
"What did you say?" a voice asked and Becky turned in surprise.
She did a double take and her jaw dropped.
All the people that had been sitting in the chairs were now standing and she could see their faces perfectly.
This looked exactly like Elrond's Secret Council from the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
She glanced around at all the faces, scanning them carefully.
There was Aragorn dressed in those green velvety robe-y-thingies and looking a bit gorgeously stunned. There was Boromir looking completely lost (but still quite cute) and Elrond (who has spoken) was totally giving them the candy cane eyebrow. Gimli was staring at them eyes wide and Gandalf was expressionless.
Frodo had been about to sit in his chair but now he hovered right over it looking all hobbity.
And. there was her Leggy; one perfect eyebrow lifted just enough to show he was startled.
Becky just stared, mouth agape and eyes wide at the GORGEOUS tall, blond haired crystal blue eyed Elf that stood before her.
This was really Elrond's secret council!!!
She let loose an ear splitting, glass shattering, earthquake bringing scream which caused all the elves to cower, gripping their ears.
"It's LEGGY!" Becky screeched and dove at him, knocking him off his feet and the two went sprawling. "I can't believe it's YOU!!!"
She began smothering him with kisses and hugs as Legolas struggled to his feet.
"Hello," the confused but ever polite Elf said. "I am Legolas. Who are you?"
The only reply the Elf got was loud fan girl screaming.
"OMYGOSH! Leggy!" Becky screeched. "I wonder if it really is Legolas Greenleaf, Prince of Mirkwood, Son of King Thranduil."
"My lady, how do you know my name yet I know nothing of you?" Legolas asked, a bit taken aback that she knew who he was.
"He called me a lady! A LADY!" Becky screeched. "I wonder."
Becky reached up and pulled on his left ear.
Legolas grimaced in pain and tried even harder to get away from Becky.
"Missy, Missy. Look it's LEGGY!" Becky called.
Missy had finally gotten out from under those suitcases and stood gaping at her surroundings.
"Where are we?" Missy asked, confused.
"You are in Rivendell," Elrond said, with a slight scowl. "Who are you?"
"Rivendell?" Missy repeated and then realized what he had said. "RIVENDELL? You mean the Elven Rivendell???"
"Yes," Elrond put a hand to his forehead, his eyebrows nearly up to his hairline. "I ask again, who are you?"
"Oh. I'm-" Missy trailed off when she suddenly noticed someone who had remained so still and silent that she had not seen him before.
"Oh my, oh my, oh my," was all Missy could say. Aragorn, son of Arathorn strode over to Legolas and Becky. Boromir followed him.
"Oh Leggykins I love you so much! I love you forever. You're sooooooooo hot and beautiful and gorgeous and breathtaking. Will you marry me? Please tell me you'll marry me! I lov-Hey what're you doing?" Becky cried for Aragorn and Boromir had each taken an arm and was towing her away from Legolas.
"OMYGOSH!!" Becky let out a loud fan girl scream and wrapped her arms around Aragorn.
"Missy look who it is! Missy? Missy?" Becky cried.
Her cousin had completely zoned out and was staring with glazed eyes at Aragorn.
Suddenly Becky let go of Aragorn and backed as far away as she possibly could.
"Eww," Becky wrinkled her nose. "Haven't you ever heard of shampoo and soap? Or perfume? Yuck!"
She pulled her Victoria's Secret Garden Fragrant Body Splash in Strawberries and Champagne and ran around Aragorn, spraying him from head to foot.
Aragorn doubled over coughing and Becky now lunged at Boromir.
"Ooh! I'm sooooooooo sorry. I'm really, really, really, really sorry!"
She burst into floods of tears and poor Boromir just blinked.
"Why are you sorry?" he dared to ask.
"Cause you're gonna die. Die! Die! DIEeee!" Becky finally let go of Boromir to pull a tissue out of her pocket and blew her nose loudly. "Wahhh!"
Boromir backed away uncomfortably and returned to his seat.
"Are you alright?" Legolas asked, hurrying over to Aragorn who was now lying on his back, still coughing loudly.
"Oh Leggy! You're soooo sweet!" Becky screeched and began to run in his direction but Missy, who had come back to her senses, grabbed her by the back of her shirt.
"You know Legolas, if it really is you, you should have run when you had the chance," Missy said, struggling to restrain Becky who was fighting valiantly.
"What are we doing here?" Becky asked suddenly, stopping struggling.
"Yeah what are we doing here?" Missy said.
"I'm sure we would all like to know," said Elrond looking stressed out. "Perhaps after you've rested and had a meal, you will tell us the tale. Perhaps also your names. We are in the middle of a very important council. My daughter shall get you some rooms."
As if on a cue, Arwen appeared at the edge of the circle.
Aragorn suddenly stopped choking to death and smiled at Arwen.
The two smiled lovey-dovingly at each other till Becky made a gagging noise which made everyone turn to stare at her. Including the lovebirds.
"You two are sickening and hopeless. You make me wanna poke my eyes out with spoons!" Becky yelled at them. "You should listen to your father. Stay away from Ara-Hot Ranger Dude."
Luckily Becky had caught herself in time. Couldn't go giving away Leggy's second line.
"Did you say council?" Missy said, eyes wide, realizing what Elrond had said.
"Yes he did! We're in Elrond's Secret Council," Becky said.
"No way!" Missy said. "You're lying. How could we possibly be in Middle Earth?"
"I don't know. We really shouldn't have taken that shortcut through the woods. Never trust a Missy," Becky glared at her cousin.
"You are actually in fact in Middle Earth. In Rivendell as I said before," Elrond said, beginning to pull out strands of his hair.
The cousins let out loud fan girl screams, grabbed each other's hands and began jumping up and down.
"I love this part! I'm so staying!" Becky said.
"Me too!" and they let loose another round of fan girl screeching.
"I am sorry," Elrond said, his left eye visibly twitching and a vein in his forehead began jumping like a crazy bunny. "But this is a secret council."
"Like I care. Leggypoo is here and so am I!" Becky said, calming down. She grinned maniacally across the council at Legolas who backed further away in his seat.
"Well if you are going to stay may we at least know your names?" Gimli asked.
"Ooh. I'm sorry. We must've totally freaked you guys out by calling you'll by your real names and you totally don't know us," Becky said. "Okay. Whole circle of people, I'm Becky and that's my cousin Missy."
"What kind of names are those?" Boromir asked.
"What kind of a name is Boromir?" Becky shot back. "And Faramir?"
"Whoops!" Becky clamped a hand over her mouth as Boromir gazed at her in shock.
Elrond opened his mouth to utter some very nasty curses in Elvish that his mommy would have smacked him across the head for but Becky cut him off thinking he was going to start introducing people.
"But don't worry everybody. I already know everyone's names," Becky said. "That's Strider the Ranger over there," Becky pointed at Aragorn who was lost in Arwen's eyes but his head snapped around when he heard his names. "He has many other's but I'm not gonna say them now. Gimli, son of Glóin of the Misty Mountains. Boromir, brother of Faramir, Son of the Lord Denethor. That pesky dark haired girl over there is Arwen Undómiel, the Evenstar of her people. Blecch. How the heck did that happen? And there's Frodo Baggins of the Shire. Ain't he one of the cutest little hobbitses? Ooh and Gandalf the Grey! Do a trick for me Gandalfy! Pull a bunny out of your beard! And you are Lord Elrond Halfelven."
Becky finished completely out of breath and a whole circle of shocked faces gaped back at her but she didn't seem to notice.
"Anyhoo, chop chop. Let's get on with this council," Becky said clapping her hands together. "Hot Ranger Dude, get your greasy butt over here and Arwen go AWAY!"
"Hey I'm not going anywhere. I can stay here if I want. Can't I Daddy?" Arwen said, putting her hands on her hips. "Daddy, why didn't you ask me to be at the council? Huh, Daddy?"
"You will go away because I'm the author!" Becky yelled at her. "Now hightail your Hot Ranger Dude-stealing, Asfaloth-stealing, Glorfindel- moment-of-glory-stealing booty outta here!"
"Yes Ma'am," Arwen took off like the Nazgûl were after her.
"You go Becky!" Missy said and the two cousins began a victory dance in the middle of the council.
"Yeah, go Missy it's your birthday!" Becky said, now bouncing up and down like a jackrabbit on her heels.
"Please.leave. Please.I beg you.go.go.go!" Elrond begged.
"Touché," Missy said, rolling her eyes. "Dude, you need to lighten up on the coffee aight?"
"Oh my gosh, Missy. You totally spoke French there. Do you know Orlando Bloom can speak fluent French?" Becky said and with that she marched over to the now seated Legolas and plopped into his lap. "Yes he can speak fluent French and he was born on January 13th, 1977-" and she broke off into a full rant of Orlando Bloom rattling off his biography, all the while stroking the horrified Legolas' hair. "Oooohhh," Missy said, seeing Aragorn who had taken his seat. She raced over to him and plopped herself in his lap. "Hi there."
She wrapped her arms around the confused Ranger who remained perfectly still.
"Hey! He's MINE," Arwen appeared again and glared daggers at Missy.
"I don't see your name on him," Missy shot back.
"Right there," Arwen grabbed Aragorn by the Evenstar around his neck and dragged him to his feet. (A\N: I don't think he wears the pendant in the movie under his robes. If anyone knows pleez tell me.)
"See?" Arwen flipped the Evenstar over, choking Aragorn and pointed to a tiny A.U. written on the back.
"See this!" Missy ripped off the pendant and ground it into powder with her heel.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Arwen squealed angrily. "I'm gonna get you for this, you-you-you HOBBIT!"
Becky and Missy gasped in unison.
"You didn't-" Missy said, shocked.
"She did," Becky confirmed from Legolas' lap.
Without another word Missy lunged at Arwen.
And a catfight broke out then and there in the ring.
Missy was kicking and clawing and hissing and Arwen was only calling for "Daddy!"
Becky ran over to the aid of her cousin, reluctantly leaving Legolas' lap.
She tugged Arwen's hair and she let out a murderous shriek.
Aragorn, Boromir and Legolas came over and tried unsuccessfully to tow away the girls but they paid no attention to them.
Suddenly Legolas leaped aside but he was too late. Arwen had accidentally kicked him in the knee.
"You little--," Becky said and promptly burst into a string of Elvish and English curses. "Rebecca!" Missy chided when she heard the English pieces.
"How dare you kick my $$@%%** Prince of Mirkwood!" Becky said, finishing because she was now out of breath.
Arwen had dozed off on the ground had her thumb in her mouth and was snoring lightly.
Boromir and Aragorn burst into loud applause but quickly stopped when Lord Elrond shot them a murderous look.
"That's ENOUGH! ENOUGH! ENOUGH! GET OUT! GET OUTTTTT!" Elrond screamed at them. He began doing the freaky thing Galadriel had done in Lothlórien. He turned blue and the earth actually began to tremble. "You will get out of my council. You will be allowed to stay in my city as long as you like. Now will you just LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE! ALL OF YOU LEAVE. JUST GO. I WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW!"
The whole council stared in open-mouthed awe at Elrond who had turned back to his normal color and was breathing heavily.
"Dude you like, need to like, totally lighten up. Sheesh. If you wanted us to leave why didn't you just say so?" Becky asked. "C'mon Leggy."
She tried to grab Legolas' arm but he'd already disappeared and was quickly followed by Aragorn, Boromir and most of the council.
Merry, Pippin and Sam had come out from their various hiding places and had assembled around Frodo and Gandalf.
Elrond had resumed thumping his head on the pedestal when Frodo quickly grabbed the ring and slid it back into his pocket and Arwen was still fast asleep.
The cousins shrugged and grabbing their suitcases they headed off. ~~*~~ I do not own Victoria's Secret Garden Fragrant Body Splash in Strawberries and Champagne. I do not own the idea or the company. I do own a bottle of the spray though (
