Disclaimer: I don't own Lord of the Rings or Monty Python which I referenced a little bit. Let's see who can spot the reference!
Authors Note: Okay...you don't have to spot the reference. But if you want to you can! Sorry this is a full week late. School starts Wed. so I'll be falling into a more regular pattern soon. *sniff* Bye Bye Summer!
"Sanaa?" Legolas asked incredulously.
Sanaa sheepishly climbed out of the bag. "Hi," she smiled.
"What are you...? How did you...?" Legolas began.
"Well...I went to fix up the horse...and I kinda packed myself," she began.
" 'Kinda packed' yourself?" Legolas asked.
"Well...yeah."
Legolas thought for a moment. "Well...I guess you'll have to come. That horse is so slow these days that I'll be way off schedule if I take you home," Legolas sighed resignedly, then turned around to get some lembas.
"Yes!" Sanaa murmured to herself.
"What?" Legolas asked, turning around.
"Erm...I said...Lego-less! Yeah! I was trying to get your attention and it kind of sounded like Legolas. But not quite. So that's why I said it."
"...Okay..." Legolas was confused, but turned back around. Mmm. Lembas. Goooooood.
"So can I ask you my question?" Sanaa asked.
"Huh?" Legolas didn't like these interruptions while he was eating.
"I was getting your attention by saying 'Lego-less' so I could ask you a question."
"Oh. What is it?"
"How can you go so long without eating?"
"Wait...what?"
"You took so long to open that bag. Weren't you hungry?"
"I had to find Haldir. I wasn't going to let food stop me."
"Do you know how stuffy it was in there?" Sanaa asked accusingly.
"I wasn't the one who stuffed you in the bag. Don't get mad at me," Legolas said, starting to eat again.
Sanaa sighed and sat down on a tree stump. Legolas continued to eat. Sanaa threw a rock at a tree. Legolas ate. Sanaa watched the horse prance about. Legolas ate a bit more. Sanaa glared angrily at Legolas. Legolas licked some crumbs off of his fingers, then looked up at her.
"What?" He asked, unsure of why he was being stared angrily at.
"Well?" She asked.
"What?!" Legolas was quite confused.
"When are you going to do it?"
"Do what?!"
Sanaa rolled her eyes. "Duh. Email my sisters and tell then I'm safe!"
"Oh," Legolas stood up and got out his laptop.
"First tell them I'm safe and with you. Then say how happy you'll be to keep me. Then tell them not to touch any of my stuff while I'm gone. Oh! Don't forget to say you'll keep in touch.
Legolas sighed and began to type.

Hey Ankara,
Sanaa told me to write to you guys. She wants me to say, 'Sanaa is safe and with me. I'll be happy to keep her. Don't touch any of her stuff while she's gone. I'll keep in touch.'
Bleh. Well...I'll keep her, but it'll cost you. Lots. Who knew little kids could be so bossy? Anyhow, I hope you didn't worry too much. I'll be looking for Haldir for a bit longer. I have to go up to the North Western psychiatrist's office now. So...I gotta get going. This may take a while...
Legolas

He sent the email and packed his bags back up.
"Ready to go?" Sanaa asked from behind Legolas.
Legolas looked around. He found her already seated on the horse.
"Um...yeah. I just have to put the bags on the horse."
That was done quickly. The Search for Haldir could continue.
