That's So Not an Opossum

an-Last chapter was kinda short so lets see if I can do better this time around

Okay, it took some time but I was some how able to return home with my eggs and some of my pride. What I came home to was craziness along the usual vein. The TV was blaring Powerpuff Girls and nobody was watching it.They were teaching the boys how to play various card and board games. Amanda somehow felt the need to call our guest strange rip-offs of their names like 'Frito', 'Googly', 'Handbag' and 'Legoset' and apparently Rosie had called Aragorn 'Oragano' but had assured everyone it was an honest mistake.Uh-huh sure. None of them seemed too motivated to mock Gandalf's name. So nobody really noticed my grand entrance. And they say God doesn't answer prayers. In fact it wasn't until I was staring at the two dozen eggs in my fridge kinda impotently that Aragorn came up to me,

"Are you well Lady Melissa?"

"Yeah sure why wouldn't I be?"

"You left in a rush, and you seemed very flustered. Is there something I can do perhaps?"(what a guy huh? Pardon me while I swoon.)

"I'm okay. I was just a little embarrassed."

At this he smiles and says "There is no need to feel shame. To save yourself for love is an honorable thing. Someday soon you will meet the one, I assure you."

Before I could respond, he sauntered off in that sexy way of his. After a lot of discussion, our guest expressed that they felt the need to look after us, they wouldn't tell us what from. So we arranged for one of the guys to watch out the windows of our bedrooms. Legolas would stay in Rosie's room, Haldir in Amanda's, Frodo in Rachel's and Aragorn in mine. Gimli would watch the back door and Gandalf the front. I wasn't entirely sure of how this situation would pan out but I knew one thing. I was not sleeping in only a tee and unders tonight. Dressed in a tank and Power Puff girl pj bottoms I escorted Aragorn to my room. We established that I could shut off the lights and then both settled in, me in my bed and he on the window seat. I even managed to fall asleep when I heard Argorn leave the room. So I did the only sensible thing, I followed. He went downstairs, past the snoring dwarf and out the back door before he turned to address me about following him. Apparently he had heard a noise. I thought it was an opossum, but standing behind him was this ugly monster which he swiftly dispatched. He then proceeded to shuffle me back indoors and rouse the others. The girls still rubbing sleep from their eyes wanted me to tell them what Aragorn had killed. I had no clue but one thing I did know was that is so not an opossum.
