Hiya everyone. Thank you to everyone who has been really nice reviewing so far. They do make writing worth while, even though I wouldn't stop if I didn't get any reviews lol. Here is the next chapter for you:
Tough Decisions
It had been several hours after landing and at last everyone had been dropped off outside their hotel. It was getting late and they were all tired. They all wanted to get up to their rooms and go to bed. Legolas was asleep and nothing they could do could wake him up.
"How much did you give him Gimli?" Sam asked. "You weren't supposed to give him that much."
"It wasn't me. I didn't give it to him."
"It was me." Frodo told him. "You told me to give it him, Sam."
"No he didn't. He told me." Merry spoke up. "I gave Legolas the drugs."
"Wait a minute! You both gave them to Legolas?" Sam sounded shocked but couldn't help smiling as he thought of how quickly the drugs must have knocked Legolas out.
"This isn't funny." Gimli came up behind them breathing heavily. He had Legolas over his shoulder.
"Come, let us all get inside and find our rooms." Gandalf told everyone.
"I'm sharing with Pippin." Merry cried out.
"Ok, you two can share but I'm with Frodo." Sam told them much to Frodo's disappointment.
"I don't care whom I share with but this elf needs to be put down quickly." Gimli still puffed behind them.
A woman dressed in a light blue suit came out of the front of the hotel as they stood arguing about who was going to share with who.
"Can I show you to your rooms?" She asked them.
They followed her along corridors and upstairs and Gimli plodded behind them. She gave them many funny looks, especially Gimli and Legolas, but she showed them the two rooms next to each other that they would be staying in, before she left.
There was a mad dash for the two doors and, after three hobbits had freed themselves from the doorframe, they agreed that the hobbits would have one room whilst Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas shared the other. Aragorn and Legolas would have to share a bedroom, Gimli had a bedroom to himself and Gandalf had to sleep in the living room with the chair, which he was amazed to find, folded out into a bed.
Gimli dropped Legolas down on the bed. He bounced and had to be caught by Aragorn at the other side. They pushed him back on and then set about sorting out their bags and cases. He hadn't woken up by the time they all climbed into bed, tired out by the days excitement.
*~*~*~*~*
It was early the next morning when Gandalf was woken by a knocking on the door. He climbed from his bed and grumbled his way to the door. As soon as it was opened the four hobbits came running in, pushing him out of the way.
"We want to go to the Pool."
"No the beach."
"Pool."
"Beach."
"Pool."
"BEACH."
"POOL."
"Right! Quiet! Can the rest of us wake up before you make a decision for us?" Gandalf calmed them down.
"It's all right. We're up." Gimli and Aragorn came walking in bleary eyes and yawning.
"Where's Legolas?" Merry asked.
"Still asleep. He hasn't woken up yet." Aragorn told them.
"We'll wake him." All four hobbits chorused. They ran off into Legolas' room and the others could hear them jumping on the bed and poking Legolas to rise. They were too tired to feel sorry for him. They all sat down on the chairs that were set out on the balcony. The sun soon woke them up.
The hobbits returned minutes later followed by an elf still half-asleep.
"How are you feeling Legolas?" Frodo asked, slightly concerned about the mix-up the day before.
"Ugh? What?" Was all Legolas could manage.
"How. Are. You. Feeling?" He spelt out.
"What?" Legolas was looking at them through eyes half closed. He sat down on a chair and his head fell forward as his fell asleep once more.
"I'll do it." Pippin sighed, trying to hide how glad he really felt at being able to do this.
He walked to the bathroom and came back with a small bucket filled with icy cold water. He stood several strides away from Legolas and threw the bucket of water over his head.
"Argh! I'm awake. I'm awake." Legolas jumped up. "What have I missed?"
"Erm...only about a whole day of activity." Gimli told him. "But anyway, where are we going today?"
The chorus of 'Pool' and 'beach' broke out between the hobbits once more and the decision had to be put down to a vote. The beach won.
"Right." Gandalf spoke. "Everyone go and do what you want to do. Have breakfast. Get dressed. We can all meet at the front of the hotel in an hour or so."
Everyone slowly, or quickly in the case of the hobbits, vanished from the room.
Ok, so that wasn't a very long chapter and not a lot happened, but the next one is much better. Please stick around for it.
