Time: Do I Really Need to Name It?
A/N: Hi…*sniffle* Stupid flu =-=;; *growls*
The two girls spied on their companions eagerly through a wall of vines. Holly was far louder than Rachel because a) she had insisted on wearing her boots and b) she was human. At one point, Legolas looked in their direction, but Rachel diverted his attention with a bird call.
"I'm surprised I remembered that…" she said inwardly. Faintly she heard Holly's reply in the back of her mind.
"Me too…"
They looked at eachother and shrugged, getting used to the idea of telepathy.

Aragorn and Boromir were strategically dueling in the middle of the court. Legolas watched, listening sharply for any other unnatural sounds. His attention was diverted by the sound of laughter when Aragorn tripped and fell to the ground. Boromir, chuckling, lent him a hand and pulled the ranger to his feet. Both panted and smiled at eachother, glad to relax. Legolas smirked at the two and snapped his head toward some foliage on his right. A left had moved and he figured it had been the bird he heard ealier. Strange…he hadn't seen it fly away…

Rachel slowly backed away from the vines, Holly following on
tip toes. (A/N: Steel tip toes! XBB…*ehem* Sorry…Had to say it ^^;;). She
used some military hand signals that basically said "retreat" and Holly
nodded, creeping away from their "recon" mission.
When they were far enough away that Rachel was sure Legolas couldn't
hear them, she laughed evilly.
"Uh oh…when you laugh like that, I know it's something I don't want to do," Holly stated matter-of-factly. The elf raised her eyebrows happily and rubs her hands together.
"I know how we'll do this."
"Rachel? I'm not buying in…"
Both were speaking at the same time…
Rachel…Holly:
I'll lure Legolas away with some kind of animal messenger…Rachel?
I'm telling you, your devious shinannigans never fail to get us in trouble…and
then I'll get Boromir out for you with Mornie…HA! I'll tell Mornie not
to listen to you!…I'm sure he won't mind if I pursuade him with some raw
meat and sugar cubes…Oh boy, I'm really afraid now, Rae…I'm not sure which
one he'd like more, to be honest, so I'll give him both…Fine, fine…And
this is sure to work! I can tell…I'll follow through with it, but ONLY
because I can't talk to animals myself…
Rachel paused and looked at Holly.
"What does talking to animals have anything to do with it?" Rachel asked. Her friend shrugged.
"I had to have an escuse for following your plan. This time, it sounds like it might work," Holly said enthusiastically. Rachel looked at her surprised. Neither one of them moved.
Rachel said slowly, "Riiiiiight…so anyway, this is what you do…"
Holly leaned in to hear her friend's whispers.
A/N: For those of you who don't know a few of the jokes in this one…
1. Holly's boots are army issue. Army issue boots are steel-toed. Hence the pun "steel tip toe." Stupid, but hey…I'm in a tacky mood today.
2. A Recon mission is a mission where a small team of scouts goes
out to find or search for a target. It's really a reconosance mission,
but Recon for short ^^;;
