Hi everyone. I just wanted to thank you all so much for the review for my first chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it and that you all return for this one too. I'll answer your review at the end. So sit back and, hopefully, enjoy.
The shopping centre
A cry of "Ooooh!" echoed throughout the company as, at last, they approached the shopping centre. They ignored the funny looks and stares that they got from the people around them as they tied up their horses and ponies to a rail that read 'Bike stand'. They walked off through the large glass doors followed by whispers of 'Look at their clothes' and 'who are they?' from passing people.
As the Fellowship stood gazing at the high ceilings and marble floors, despite the fact than many of their own halls didn't look too different from this, and arguing over maps, Legolas pointed to a red sign in the distance.
"What do your elf eyes see Legolas?"
"A red sign. It says 'Travel agents'. Isn't that where Arwen told us to go?"
"Yes it is." Aragorn agreed.
"Follow that sign." Frodo cried as all four hobbits ran off towards the other end of the shopping centre, closely followed by Legolas, Aragorn, a puffing Gimli, Gandalf complaining he was too old for this, but continued to run, and many funny looks.
They reached the sign out of breath and gasping. As they walked in Gandalf told them all that he would handle this and let him do the talking. As a young female assistant walked over to them he stepped forward.
"Can I help you?" She asked politely.
"Yes, we are looking for a holiday." Gandalf spoke proudly.
"Right, well you've come to the right place." She told them trying not to laugh. "Please follow me and sit down."
Gandalf followed the assistant whilst the others sat on some nearby chairs and waited for his return. They decided it was probably best if Gandalf dealt with this.
They were all getting rather fed up when at last Gandalf returned. He told them that he had booked their holiday and got their tickets. He also said something about swapping gold pieces for some kind of money they hadn't seen before, and that they were told they would need that. With everyone happy, they left the shop.
"I think we should split up." Sam told everyone. "We will be quicker shopping if we go separate ways. I'll go with Frodo (Frodo sighed), Merry and Pippin can go together and you four can split up." He told Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf.
Everyone agreed and wandered off in separate directions. "We'll meet back here in two hours." Sam called back over his shoulder.
*~*~*~*~*
Two hours had passed and Sam and Frodo were sat on two seats waiting for the others to return. Finally Merry and Pippin turned up.
"Hello you two." Sam greeted them. Frodo was sulking slightly.
"Hi Sam. Want to see what we've bought?"
Beside the seats that Frodo and Sam were sitting on they emptied the contents of their bags. They had bought balls, bats, floating things in various shapes and many other objects and ways to entertain themselves for many hours.
"Where are your clothes?"
"Oh, they are here." Merry showed Sam a small bad containing a few articles of clothes and swimwear.
Any arguments about to breakout were stopped by the appearance of Aragorn and Gandalf. Each had several bags containing clothes and things useful for holidays. Gandalf had balanced them all on the end of his staff.
Gimli appeared seconds later carrying only one bag.
"What have you bought?" Aragorn asked.
"Erm, my clothes for my holiday." Gimli told him, wondering why he has asked such a stupid question. "I have two outfits now. I don't need anymore."
Aragorn decided it was probably best to keep quiet. "So where's Legolas?"
"I saw him earlier." Gandalf told them. "He was being chased around the clothes shop by, I would guess, 20-25 girls. I decided to let him get on with it."
Giggles broke out amongst the group but were soon stopped by the appearance of a very out of breathe Legolas. He was carrying what looked like 15 bags.
"How did you manage to do all that shopping with all those girls chasing you?" Gimli asked.
"All what shopping?" Legolas looked shocked. "I didn't do half as much as I'd have liked. I...oh no! Not again."
Aragorn turned around to look in the direction Legolas had been. Masses of screaming girls were heading their way. "You can't take that elf anywhere." He muttered to himself.
"RUUUUNNN!" Legolas called over his shoulder, already out of the doors.
*~*~*~*~*
Having escaped the girls and finally arrived home, on horses exhausted from carrying all Legolas' bags, the Fellowship set to counting the days when they would finally leave. Aragorn kept asking Arwen if she wanted to come but Arwen insisted that someone would need to look after things whilst he was gone.
The excitement in the halls was almost unbearable during the days leading up to the holiday and Arwen couldn't help but praising herself for her genius.
Anastasia Who: I hope this is as fun for you all to read as it was for me to write. I had a great time coming up with all these ideas of what mischief the fellowship could get up to in Ibiza. They story will get going soon, a bit quicker than it is now, and I hope you like it. Thank you for returning to read yet another of my stories. It is great to see people that like reading many of my things and not just the one. Thank you.
mousegal: Thank you for the offer to ask your sister. And I too got many funny images while writing this story. They still make me laugh and I just hope that I managed to find the words to put them across in this story. Hope you enjoy it.
Michelle Frodo: Wow! You sound very enthusiastic about this story. I hope I don't dash all your hopes. And I know what is coming in future chapters to and I can't wait to see if you all enjoy it. I really should start writing up the ideas we had for the next story. I just need to find sometime...hmmm...
Arwen: Argh! Another person that seems very enthusiastic about this story. I really do hope I don't disappoint you all. But I'm glad you're enjoying it so far and just keep up laughing and I'm sure others with follow.
Lady Laswen: No I have never read bagenders. The Ibiza reference, I am afraid, came out of my own very warped mind. I'm glad you are enjoying it and I hope you return to read more in the future.
~Amariel~ : Hehe, Aragorn skipping leaves with a very funny picture in m head. And I'm glad you are enjoying this story. It means a lot that you come back to read everything I write and that you haven't become fed up of me yet lol. Hope you enjoy this one too.
Ainu Laire: I'm glad you enjoyed this and I apologise for the spelling mistakes, I read it through before I spot it but I always seem to miss something, but can I ask? Where did I miss any commas? I read it again after you commented on his and I can't see where. I would love to know so that I can improve it and amend an mistakes. Please let me know.
Angel of death: It seems that everyone has funny images in there minds now, of the fellowship in Ibiza. As long as you enjoy the story then that's all that matters. Funny images are good. They can lighten your mood anywhere you are and no one needs to know what you are thinking! Just don't laugh out loud because then people start laughing at you.
