Chapter 3: In Which Elrond has a Facemask and Aragorn is Kidnapped????

"La dee dee la dee da la la la la la!" a voice echoed through the halls of the House Of

Lord Elrond causing the entire of Rivendell to cower in pain. "La la la la la."

The singer was no other than Becky who had just returned from a nice long bath in a stream.

She skipped down the hall which was a bit difficult for one wearing platform shoes but she was so darn happy.

She saw Missy emerging from her room, dressed in her favorite red dress.

"Hi cousin dearest!" Becky called and skipped happily over to her cousin. "Where's Hot Ranger Dude?"

"Why are we calling him Hot Ranger Dude? Isn't his name Ara-" Becky had slapped her hand over Missy's mouth.

"Shhh. We don't know who else can hear us," Becky looked around, shifty- eyed. "Where's Leggykins?" Missy asked.

"Probably off brushing his long golden hair," Becky said, eyes glazing over and Missy rolled her eyes knowing better than to have asked. "You know what? Let's go find him."

Becky skipped off down the hallway and promptly began throwing open doors left, right and center.

Missy giggled to herself but trotted after her cousin.

Missy flung open a door and let out a horrified shriek.

Lord Elrond was sitting in his bedroom, a blue facemask on. He was dressed in a purple bathrobe and pink bunny slippers.

"Hey Elrondie. Decided to try the mask huh?" Becky said, skipping into his room like they were old friends.

Elrond cringed at the name 'Elrondie' and looked like he wanted to run away but instead he said, "Yeah, it's a bit sticky but."

"Hey! Isn't that my blue corn facemask?!!!" Missy said, eying the jar he had in his hand.

"Oops," Becky blushed and looked down at her feet. It was then Missy realized Becky was wearing her blue dress.

"And that's MY dress," Missy said.

"Oops," Becky repeated. Missy looked like she was about to strangle her when Aragorn, Legolas and Arwen appeared in the doorway.

"We heard someone scream and became concerned," Aragorn said and then gaped at Elrond in shock.

Legolas just lifted an eyebrow again and Arwen was blinking rapidly.

"Daddy?" was all she could say.

"Good Lord boy. Don't you do anything but lift that eyebrow?" Missy asked, irritated. "That's all you ever do besides look hotly lost."

"Hey! Don't insult the merchandise!" Becky glared at her cousin then bounced over to Legolas. "Hiiiiiiiiii."

The Elf looked horrified but tried his best to smile.

"Hello," he greeted her, fighting the great urge to run and climb up a tree and stay there forever. "Sut naa lle?" He had lapsed into Elvish. He usually spoke in a mixture of Common and Elvish but since he'd reached Rivendell he had been conversing in Elvish.

"Oh I'm fine. Thanks for asking darling," Becky dove at him and hugged him tightly.

"How come we just understood what he said?" Missy asked.

"This is part Mary-Sue. We know these things," Becky said.

"Riiiiight," was all Missy said.

"My lady. May I ask you something?" Legolas asked.

"Sure, dahling. Anything you want," Becky grinned up at him. Legolas overpowered the urge to run and asked, "I have not ever seen you before in all my lifetime so how do you know my full name, my proper title? That question has been plaguing my mind since we've met."

"Doesn't everyone know who you are?" Becky asked looking at Missy for agreement.

She nodded, suddenly being in a very good mood as Aragorn was in the room.

"Of course. I wasn't the only screaming one in the cinema," Becky said.

"Cee-ni-ma? What is this cee-ni-ma you speak of?" Aragorn asked, looking lost.

Arwen finally broke down into hysterical laughter and began rolling on the floor.

"Daddy you look ridiculous. What's wrong with your clothes and that thing on your face?" Arwen pounded the floor and giggled louder.

"A cinema is somewhere you go to see a movie," Becky explained patiently to Aragorn.

"Moo-vee?" Aragorn repeated looking even more lost than he did before.

"Oh right. These things weren't invented yet," Becky said. "Silly me."

Aragorn, Legolas and Elrond stared at her as if she had gone mad.

"Alright then," Lord Elrond said. "Now if you people would kindly leave my room I need to prepare for the feast and I suggest you do so too." Elrondie had been so nice and had decided to throw a feast in honor of Missy and Becky.

"Change?" Becky said. "I'm going just like this. Maybe need to put on a little makeup but that's it."

Everyone including Arwen who had finally stopped laughing looked at her in shock.

"But you're not decent. What is that strange garb you are wearing?" Legolas asked.

"It's called a dress, Leggy," Becky said. "And there's nothing wrong with it. This is considered a decent length where I come from."

And she was right for the dress rested just in the middle of her knees.

"It is so short. You could not possibly be seen in public dressed like that," Aragorn said. "Her too."

He gestured at Missy who pulled her red dress down defensively.

"Hey! I like this dress," she said indignantly.

"And you're one to talk. Look at the state of your hair, man," Becky said.

"What's wrong with my hair?" Aragorn ruffled his greasy hair lovingly. "Don't I look rugged?"

"Yeah. Ruggedly dirty," Legolas muttered to Arwen and they began snickering. Luckily Becky didn't notice or she'd have tried to rip Arwen limb-from-limb but she was too busy with that little yellow light bulb over her head.

Missy met her eyes and Becky nodded slightly.

Without warning she dove at Aragorn. She latched onto his arm and Missy took the other.

Together the two cousins towed the Ranger who was struggling to get loose (though he couldn't because we are 5\600000000 of a Mary-Sue and we have extraordinary strength() through the halls of The House Of Elrond with Legolas, Arwen and Elrond who was still covered in blue facemask, at their heels.

Missy made a detour into their rooms and came back clutching a large bag.

"Oh no. Please what are you going to do to me?" Aragorn whimpered, very much unlike himself. "It's not.no you wouldn't.you couldn't.nooooo!!!!"

All he had to do was look at Becky and Missy's faces and he knew his doom had come.

"No. Please I beg of you," Aragorn struggled to get down on his knees. "I beg you on bended knees."

"No. Sorry Hot Ranger Dude whose name I really know but I ain't gonna say nothing now," Becky said, dragging him through the front doors.

Boromir, Gimli, Gandalf and the hobbits soon joined them.

"What's going on here?" Gandalf asked, looking from Becky and Missy who was clutching Aragorn, Arwen and Legolas who were STILL snickering and Elrond in his blue facemask.

"Outta the way, Gandalfy. Wouldn't wanna fall into shadow before your time now would you?" Missy said but quickly slapped a hand over her mouth. "Oops."

"What did you say?" Gandalf said, drawing up to his full height.

"She said nothing. C'mon cousin," Becky towed Aragorn faster until they reached their destination: a small patch of hedges hiding a long flight of stairs.

"Yep. We're here," Becky said and she and Missy disappeared behind the bushes with Aragorn. "Now you will stay here okay?" ~~*~~ Translations: Sut naa lle?-How are you?
