Thanks again for the lovely reviews!! ^_^ Have been away, so here's my
feeble attempt to write a third chapter off the top of my head (it usually
comes out pretty good that way).
Remember, I don't own Lord of the Rings, I only do Legolas's paperwork.

"You invited a bunch of murderous orcs over here for TEA??" Legolas cried again.
Drew nodded. "Yup, that's what I said before. You should get your hearing checked, Lego."
Legolas tugged at his hair. "Orcs! GAH! And don't call me Lego!"
"Told you to let her in before," Aragorn said from where he sat at the table.
Legolas whirled around and snapped, "That's enough out of you! I don't see you helping matters here!"
Aragorn frowned. "You shouldn't talk to a king like that."
"You're not king yet," Legolas muttered.
"I heard that! And yes I am."
"No you're not."
"Yes I am."
"No you're not."
"Yes I am."
"Not."
"Am."
"NOT."
"AM."
"Shut up!" Gandalf yelled from down the hall. "I can hear you two from all the way down here! We're going to get nasty calls from our neighbors, you know that? And what am I supposed to say to them, "Oh, these young people, you know how they are - like everything loud." NO, I will NOT say that to them. Now just quiet down! You woke me up from my nap!"
"Grumpy old people," Aragorn and Legolas muttered simultaneously. They were interrupted by Drew's happy squeal of, "Come on in, there's cookies in the pantry!" Both kings paled as a group of orcs made their way over to the table.
The tall monsters sat down heavily and growled at Legolas, who was too clean for their tastes. Drew was heard humming in the kitchen, then an explosion, and she came out cheerfully. "Tea's done!"
Legolas and Aragorn stared and wondered exactly what kind of tea it was that it would explode. Drew noticed and showed Aragorn the package. "It says, 'Just add fire'."
Aragorn read it three times before looking up and replying, "Um, Drew? That says 'water'."
"Oh." Drew read it again. "So it does. Oh well, I'm sure it's fine."
Legolas shuddered. "I think I'll skip it. I, um, had a lot of Lembas this morning, I don't think I could stomach it."
"Same here," Aragorn said hurriedly.
Drew gave him an odd look. "But Aragorn, you said you didn't like that mushy, overly sweet, nasty, elvish waybread. And I quoted!"
Legolas glared at Aragorn and waited for an explanation.
