Hello once again. I'm here with an update and sorry it has taken me a while. I know I seem to be saying that a lot lately but I really am sorry. Anyway, here it is and I have answered your reviews at the end of the chapter.

Snooker and Pool

After the last two hectic days the company decided that it was probably best if they spent a few relaxing days in. Today they were going to go to the pool.

They got up early to ensure that they all had sun beds. Legolas took up his usual position in the sun and Sam was chasing Frodo with the sun cream.

There was a very tall chair by the side of the pool, usually used for lifeguards, but today the chair was empty.

"I think I will be lifeguard today." Gandalf told them. He climbed onto the chair and sat watching over the pool.

Merry and Pippin gathered together all their inflatables and were about to jump into the pool when a booming voice stopped them.

"Only one inflatable in the pool please." Gandalf shouted. They each chose one lilo and were about to jump in again when Gandalf stopped them.

"I meant only one between you."

"But Gandalf..."

"One! Or none at all."

They had no choice but to leave all the others behind and jump in with only one. This only caused great arguments between them. Merry was finally get into a comfortable position when Pippin would swim underneath him and push him off. Then it was Pippin's turn to be pushed off by Merry and this continued for several hours.

"Legolas do you want a game of snooker?" Aragorn asked. Legolas agreed to one game as long as he could stand in the sun. Aragorn said he could.

After Aragorn had explained the rules of snooker to Legolas they got on with playing the game. They had been playing for no more than five minutes when Legolas began to jump up and down shouting "Yaaay, I potted the white I potted the white." Aragorn had to explain to him that you weren't supposed to pot the white but Legolas thought he was cheating.

"You can pot the white. You just want to win. You're changing the rules so that I loose."

"No, I'm not. You're not supposed to pot the white. You're supposed to use the white to pot the others."

"You cheat." Legolas took his cue and hit Aragorn over the head with it.

"Ow!" Aragorn took his cue and did the same to Legolas. Soon a full-blown fight had broken out, involving both Aragorn and Legolas. They were chasing each other around the pool with their cues.

Frodo was standing beside the pool looking in as Legolas and Aragorn ran passed.

"Are you coming in Frodo?" Pippin called.

"But what about the jellyfish?" Stuttered Frodo.

"There are no jellyfish in the pool."

Gandalf was watching Frodo as he looked into the pool and was beginning to get fed up of Frodo being so scared. He reached down with his staff and nudged Frodo in the back so that he fell into the pool. Sam jumped up and ran to the pool.

"Frodo!" He cried as he jumped in after him.

Frodo had already swam to the side of pool and was clinging to it with no danger of drowning when Sam jumped in. Sam, however, couldn't swim and he went under.

Everyone stopped what they were doing. Merry and Pippin swam to Sam's aid with their lilo. Legolas and Aragorn ran to the edge and were leaning over so that Sam could grab their cues. Gandalf did the same. Gimli was sitting at the bar, surrounded by many pints, and was shouting orders to the others.

"Move your cue up a bit Legolas. Gandalf he'll never reach that. Merry and Pippin come this way a bit more."

"Shut up Gimli!"

"Ok!"

Sam was helped to the side of the pool by everyone else and was dragged out by Frodo. He lay gasping on the side as everything returned to normal. Merry and Pippin carried on with their fight. Gimli carried on drinking. Gandalf climbed to the top of his chair again and Legolas and Aragorn continued to chase each other.

"Are you ok Sam?" Frodo asked.

"Yes fine." Sam lied.

It wasn't long before Legolas and Aragorn ended up in the pool too. Legolas had hit Aragorn over the head with his cue, knocking him in the direction of the pool but he had caught the end of the cue to balance himself and both had ended up in the pool on top of each other. They continued the fight in the water.

At last they decided that maybe they should stop, before someone ended up with brain damage. Instead they turned their attention to Merry and Pippin and now a full-scale war had broken out in the pool. Legolas and Aragorn were attempting to get the lilo off Merry and Pippin and there was a great deal of laughing and screaming coming from the pool.

Gimli was still sitting at the bar drinking when they all decided that maybe they should call it a day. Everyone was getting rather wrinkly from the water and Gimli was beginning to get rather drunk from the beer. They dragged him upstairs and ate tea in the rooms. Then they decided they were all going to stay in and have a game of cards instead of going out. It was way past midnight when they stopped drinking and playing and yet again they were all rather drunk when they went to bed.

The Converted: I am so glad you are enjoying this so much. I don't really mean to be evil to Aragorn and Legolas but you know, I cant help it. I love them really. Thank you for reviewing and being so patient. It is much appreciated.

Ainu Laire: Oh you found the crown!! Yay. I may need it back for a few more chapters in my story but for now you can keep it. I'll give it to you as a present for being so kind and reading my story. But make sure you look after it!

Queen Arwen: Yes Aragorn. I'm glad you are happy now. That's my job complete. As long as this story makes you smile I have done my job well Thank you for reviewing.

mousegal: Don't worry about reviewing. I know you cant always use the comp but thank you anyway. And I'm also glad you are enjoying this so much. Thanks again.

~Amariel~: Ooh, Orli in tights. Ok, Let's not go there. Very funny review but where have they all gone to? Hmmm, maybe they are off to join the Fellowship in Ibiza for a while. Thank you for reviewing as always.

totallyObsessedwithLOTR : Erm, I'm not sure what the name of the horse was and they have Smarties in Middle earth! Otherwise what would they eat?? Lol. I like Smarties too though I haven't eaten them for ages. And yes, Aragorn probably would have had as many fan girls as Legolas. Sorry hehe. Thank you for reviewing though.

Thank you all for reviewing and being so patient with my slow updates. I promise I will try to be quicker this time.
