AN: Sorry this took so long....Been a bit busy but my schedule is clearer now. I know it's short, but there will be more
coming soon. I'm going to try to do it every weekend at least, so stay posted!
"So...What do you think?" Legolas sat in the middle of Mirkwood forest, talking to Ankara Lira.
"Huh? Oh...were you talking to me?...Sorry...I was playing with this...er...blade of grass...," Ankara said looking up.
Legolas began repeatedly banging his head on the nearest tree.
"I'll listen better this time! Really! Just tell me one more time!" Ankara started in an attempt to save Legolas from too permanent brain damage.
"Fine," Legolas sighed, walking away from the slightly dented tree. "Last time, though."
"Yes, yes!"
"Alright. I want to know if you have any idea why Haldir and Frodo are acting so weird."
"Is Frodo acting weird? I mean...you haven't known him that long."
"Er...so why is Haldir acting weird?"
Ankara became pensive. She stared intently at the blade of grass as if it would serve as some sudden inspiration. Suddenly her eyes lit up.
"I've got it!" She shouted.
"What!? Tell me!" Legolas jumped up.
"It was in my magazine..."
"Tell me!"
"Alright! There were these...these little, no TINY, microchips! The alien put them in the back of people's necks and it takes over their brains and no one can even tell!"
Legolas sighed. "Where did you read this?"
"Spy Magazine!"
Legolas sighed again. "So you have no idea what could be wrong, do you."
"I told you! Microchips!"
Legolas got up to bang his head against a tree again.
Ankara looked on. Suddenly her eyes brightened again.
"Legolas!"
He continued banging his head.
"Legolas!"
He ignored her again.
"Legolas!!" She shook his shoulders.
Legolas groaned. "I had almost knocked myself out...Why did you stop me?"
"I'm getting my Spy Magazine. You stay here."
Legolas groaned and resumed his head smacking.
30 minutes later, Ankara returned with a magazine in hand. She looked around for Legolas, but didn't find him until she tripped over him. She sighed and shook him awake.
"Wake up, Sleeping Beauty!" She called.
"Frodo...go away...," Legolas whined, waving his hand.
"It's Ankara."
"Legolas squinted his eyes. He groaned. "Not you again..."
Ankara smiled. "I've got the magazine. Go home. Read this. I'll see you later." She smiled again and left.
Legolas watched her leave and then lay down again. He slowly stoop up. He had a bad headache and a few bruises. He leaned against a tree and looked at the magazine. It swirled in and out of focus. He blinked a few times and decided to lay down on the comfiest looking patch of grass. The next thing he knew, he was asleep.
