Suddenly, the hole grew so that they could stand up once more.


"That was just a plot device because you couldn't think of an answer to my last line, wasn't it?"

Me: Yes. Now hurry up.

Legolas and Aragorn broke into a jog, Legolas wielding the fire extinguisher. After about ten minutes, they came out once more into the cavern.

"That tunnel seemed longer than before."

Me: Yeah well, I was enjoying watching you. You looked so funny holding that fire extinguisher in the air.

"You're back" The fire breathing thing growled.

"Yup, pretty much" replied Aragorn. "And we're going to put out your fire with Legolas' fire extinguisher, ok?"

"I won't let you. You're not strong enough to beat me!"

Legolas sprang forward (leaving his fire extinguisher on the ground) and beat up the fire breathing thing. Not too badly though, 'cause he felt kinda dory for it. He tied it up with some very handy rope which he happened to find in his pocket.

"Ha ha, beat you!"

"Now what, Legs?"

"Er…I guess we interrogate him. So, is fire breathing thing your real name?"

"No."

"What is it then?"

"Ernie."

"Ernie? The why did you call yourself the fire breathing thing?"

"You try being a baddy with a name like Ernie."

"I don't see anything wrong with the name Ernie" put in Aragorn.

"Yeah, but it's hardly a classic bad guy name, is it?"

"So why did you become a bad guy?"

"It was that or be a postman. Bad guys get paid better."

"Oh. Well, for the sake of the plot we have to put your fire out. And you could be a singing postman."

With that, Legolas grabbed the fire extinguisher and squirted it down the fire breathing…Ernie's throat.

After a few seconds, Ernie got up and went away to become a singing postman, just as Legolas had promised.

"Ok, we got rid of the bad guy, can we go home now?"

Me: I'll think about it.

"Pleeeease?" The chorused.

Me: Ok, ok you can go home next chapter.

"Woohoo!"

Me: Calm down.

"Can we at least come out of this cavern?"

Me: Yeah, sure.

The walked up the now much shorter tunnel, and came out once more into the wood. The sun was shining; the birds were singing etc, etc. Aragorn and Legolas pranced merrily through the trees, until they realised that they looked strange, and it was to hot to prance anyway.

Me: I can cool it down a bit if you like.

"If you would."

Immediately the temperature dropped a few degrees.

"Thanks."

Review replies from me...

c-marabini - I know, I feel kinda sorry for the fire breathing thing. And, in a way, kind of responsible.

Dreamality - First of all, love the new name. Thank you :D Of course rabbit holes change sizes and things just appear out of nowhere, this is fanfic land!

Riddle-Child - Funny thing is, I never even thought of setting Legs' hair alight, but you're right. WAY too good to waste.

Aragorn replies...

Dreamality - Me too!

Legolas replies...

c-maribini - Thank you for saying I'll never look like a girl. Some people seem to disagree *kicks Aragorn*

Dreamality - Ah, so you have the same problems as me? I sympathise with you.

Riddle-Child - I always pack a comb or two (in case I lose the first one) and if I still can't untangle my hair, I put my hood up.
