Return Flight

Before the fellowship realised, the holiday had slowly come to an end. It was time to finally pack their bags and get on the coach. Legolas had been up all night claiming that he was going to live here. He was not going to get on the plane to go home. They may have made it here safely but they weren't all going to make it home alive.

During the night, Gandalf had had to lock Legolas in his room and let Gimli sleep on the balcony. Legolas had been talking of planning escapes and they were afraid for everyone's safety.

Finally the coach pulled up outside and they piled on their many bags and belongings. Legolas was thrown onto the coach and they drove to the airport.

They checked in their bags and Pippin wasn't as paranoid this time that they were being stolen. They sat in the departure lounge and it was up to Gimli and Gandalf to keep everyone in order. Madness seemed to have broken out.

Aragorn was determined to find some more Smarties and had the habit of walking off. Sam was fussing over Frodo so much that they were all convinced another war was about to break out. Legolas had locked himself in a toilet cubicle and refused to come out. Merry and Pippin were so excited that their usual game of chase had led them around most of the airport so far.

It was time to get on the plane and everyone was scattered in every direction. Gimli and Gandalf were in charge of getting everyone on.

Aragorn was easy. Gandalf took the bag of Smarties off Sam, which he still had from the journey here, and threw it onto the plane. Aragorn was happy sitting in his seat with his sweets.

Sam and Frodo were next. Gimli told Sam that the plane was a much safer place than the airport and if the airport was going to collapse everyone would be killed. The only safe place to hide would be the plane. Sam quickly scurried off onto the plane dragging Frodo behind him muttering that it was up to him to protect his Frodo.

Next it was Merry and Pippin. This wasn't too difficult either. As they came running back through the departure lounge still playing chase. All Gandalf and Gimli had to do was stand beside the door to the plane and open their arms out. As the hobbits came running towards them they were swerved off to the side and right onto the plane.

The only one left now was Legolas. Gandalf and Gimli barged into the toilet. With his staff in his hand Gandalf quickly opened the lock on the door of the cubicle. Legolas was huddled in the corner.

"I don't want to go. You can't make me go. Pleeeaaase?" He begged.

"Oh come. You're suppose to be a prince and you are acting like a big baby."

"Am not. I'll cry if you make me go."

Gandalf looked at Gimli. "I think it's time for the drugs."

"No. You can't make me take them."

"Yes we can."

They dragged Legolas out into the middle of the floor. He closed his mouth tight and refused to open it. Gandalf pinched his nose and it wasn't long before he opened his mouth to gasp for air. The drugs were in his mouth and he was forced to swallow them. They let him go and he stood up.

"See, they haven't worked." He told them, looking proud with himself.

"I think they have."

"Have not!"

Legolas turned around to face Gimli but couldn't hold his balance any longer. He fell asleep on is feet and was caught by the dwarf. Gimli carried him over his shoulder onto the plane and strapped him in, tightly, to the seat by the window.

Aragorn was happy munching his Smarties and the hobbits were all talking amongst themselves. At last they were all on and Gimli and Gandalf could sit down peacefully to enjoy the ride home. For now anyway.

*~*~*~*~*

It wasn't long before Aragorn was high and wanted to 'play'! He had had enough of the hobbits games and Gandalf and Gimli's talk so he turned to Legolas. Legolas was sitting next to him slumped in his seat. They had sat Legolas and Aragorn against the window hoping that it would keep them both their with no trouble. It now proved a bad idea.

"Legolas play with me!" Aragorn poked Legolas in the ribs but he did not move. "Legolas I want to play."

Still Legolas didn't move and Gimli could see the new stranger look growing in Aragorn's eyes. He wondered what was about to come next.

Aragorn burst into tears. "Legolas is dead!" He screamed at the top of his voice. "He said the plane was going to kill him and it has. He's deeeaaad!" Aragorn was beginning to wail so loudly that other people on the plane were turning around to look at him.

"Aragorn, he's not dead." Gandalf told him. "He's just asleep."

"No he's not. If he was asleep he'd wake up when I hit up but he doesn't, look!"

"Aragorn stop it. No he's not just asleep. We gave him something to make him go to sleep."

"Why?"

"Because he wouldn't get on the plane."

"Why?"

"Because he is afraid of flying."

"Why?"

"He thinks we will crash."

"Why?"

"I don't know why!" Gimli took a deep breath and then continued. "He's not dead. We just gave him something so that he wouldn't be afraid of the flying."

"You gave him something?"

"Yes me."

"So you killed him?"

"No I did not kill him, he's not..."

"YOU KILLED HIM!"

Aragorn turned around and began a very girly slap fight with Gimli.

"Aragorn stop it. He is not dead."

"Yes he is and you killed him."

This time Aragorn turned back to Legolas and leant his head against his arm. He began to sob.

"Aragorn if he was dead he wouldn't be breathing."

"If he is not dead you can wake him up."

"No we can't wake him up. He will wake up in a bit."

"See. He's dead!"

He began sobbing again and Gimli and Gandalf both decided that his sobbing was quieter than his wailing so they left him to it. He would find out later that Legolas wasn't really dead.

*~*~*~*~*

Oh, they're all home again now. End of holiday. One more chapter left though so don't give up on me just yet. And I am working on a sequel so that shouldn't be too long. I will do my best to hurry it up.

MichelleFrodo: Glad this makes you laugh. That's what I'm here for after all isn't it? To make you laugh in this story and cry in my other. Ooooh, to toy with emotions is so much fun. Hope you enjoy it though. And don't shout at me too much. Not long until both of my stories are finished now and then I'm going to have to find something else to post. Hmmm...

The Converted: No I've never read those books but I will have to check them out. They do sound funny. I hope this story makes you laugh too. Nearly the end now. One more chapter left *sob*.

got-lotr: In my opinion, if they had all had cars, or better still motorbikes, in the LOTR films they would have got there so much quicker. I can just picture that now. Sorry, *ahem* yes Legolas driving was pretty funny. Hope the flight home was just as much of a laugh.

Queen Arwen: Oh, you stole Aragorn's Smarties! he's not going to be happy about that. But then again I suppose it's good for him. Too much sugar will rot his teeth. And we can't have a King with bad teeth can we? That wouldn't set a very good example.

Ainu Laire: Of course I like your reviews. I love all reviews. Thank you for giving them too me. And also glad you are enjoying this story. One more chapter left!

Jack Sparrow is my hamster: I love your name. Anyway, more in the clubs would be good but I'm afraid it's time for the Fellowship to return home. I am working on a sequel though so I hope you return for that. Thank you for reviewing and sitting and reading the whole story in one go. You too can have some Smarties! But you'll have to run before Aragorn sees them.

Thank you all who reviewed my story. One more chapter left so I hope you are all eager for the sequel. I will try to make it as exciting as this story. Thanks again.
