(Drum roll in background) Ladies and gentlemen! Roll up to the start of the
prequel of the biggest inter-author-story-crossover-extravaganza you might
possible EVER see! That's right folks; this chapter lays the groundwork for
what has been hinted at by that master of mayhem, that Lord of literature,
the prince of pancakey deeds . . . Huinesoron! Sorry, hyper moment. I blame
the drum roll ;-)
Pointy Ears Are My Thing - OOPS! Well, saying that on a place like this probably wasn't the smartest move in the world in all honesty . . . sorry! No reviews from Mandy yet . . . sigh, nobody loves me . . . uh hum, sorry, unwarranted self pity moment at lack of Merrylyn reviews. I don't think she likes me :'( and I didn't know about her file, no . . . interesting is all I'll say! (Update! Merrylyn did review!!! Happy now!!!)
The Noble Platypus - well, you might not have been in that chapter, but I'm thinking your fangirl creation will be in this one, and you might even be in the next, depending on Huinesoron. And wait no more, because here you go!
Phaidra - I'm glad I don't have to worry, because strange and hyper normally sum me up pretty well. Cloning idea was Merrylyn's, and essential for getting her onto my squad. The pheromones was an idea put forward by one of Huinesoron's ISPCE reviewers (AarIIe), and it made a perfect excuse to clone Merrylyn!
Elanhin - Sorry for the confusion. Alicia is our star (and my fangirl alter ego) Alice is an ISPCE tech worker. MEAPS is the Middle Earth Animal Protection Society, run by Liliac (mentioned in ISPCE). Hope that clears it all up
Lady of Mowzerness - name noted. And yes, two Merrylyn's, but unless there's a chapter involving ISPCE again, I probably will only be writing about one.
Malfoyelf - Thank you! Well, I work in a grocery sore and I was stocking up the apples and I thought "Golden Delicious, that'd work. Inspiration is all around when you're mad like me. Haven't seen Legally Blonde 2, is it really not that great? And poor you, no computer!!! That truly is the mark of civilisation. And Huinesoron said they were brunettes, so that is what I wrote!
Fireblade K'Chona - Yes you were and here you are again! And I think next chapter will be your staring moment!
Huinesoron - Praise from the master (faints) lol, ok will fix formatting this time, what with two chapters to comment on (like buses, nothing then 2 at once)
Liliac - stop grumbling, I could have taken the original and ISPCE would have never known so :-P And if the squad get cloaks, I have the design now. And you, a pyro? I'd NEVER think that!
UnDeadGoat - Hi, now I've spoken to you I guess I get a review for every chapter to? :-D YIPEE-EE-EEE! Guaranteed reviews! When I get home from university I'll ask my wonderful, amazing, generous sister (who is reading this) if I can read the LoTR books. No she's not invisible; I'm one of those authors who decided she could get away with it because the story wouldn't work otherwise. She portalled home, which she could do because Merrylyn told her how. And I did check with Huinesoron about the annoying thing, just in case. Deluded? Of course!
Merrylyn - yayayay! Back again! Don't murder the ffnet bot, I won't be able to update! Yes, Alicia is my alter ego, although a) that's not my name, b) I look nothing like her and c) I'm not quite as obsessed. Cell? Why are you celled? You're working for MEAPS. You're free! And now you're two as well. Leather thing was something I did when I thought of Legolas gone bad . . . in chapter 4 I think. No, I don't think Middle Earth could handle more that 2 Merrylyn's, besides Huinesoron being mean and won't let 3 alter egos of me run around in the same chapter :-( He says two's the maximum!
Is it just me or are my reviewer replies getting longer than the chapters? Ah well, back to the story. Now, buckle in and hold on tight, because the fangirl squad are being let out!
Chapter 9 - Continued training
"See, that wasn't evil! He slowed the orcs down, so the others could catch up!" Rose whispered as the last one fell. Alicia shot her a warning look, and glanced at the others. Luckily enough, Tiffany, Mary and Mandy were all too busy drooling to be any trouble. "If you want to go and say hello, you can. I've seen how this Legolas treats us though. You wouldn't last five seconds." Alicia waited half expectantly. Rose was a very pretty girl, and whilst that wouldn't matter to THIS Legolas, once he was uncursed . . . better to get rid of the competition now. Rose, however, didn't take the bait. They watched Legolas portal out, then Alicia stood up from the very crouched position behind the rock she had been stuck in for the past goodness knows how long. As she stretched out, she couldn't help but smile. The training had worked. What with Merrylyn helping out, the fangirls had learnt the look no touch policy that would keep them safe and ultimately, Alicia was sure, help them save the hot one himself. They had managed to stay in his presence without trying to swamp him again; although Rose HAD come close. She opened up the portal back to the kitchen . . .
. . . And entered just as Merrylyn stepped through her portal, followed by Sarah, Phaidra, Galadriël Telrúnya and the Lady of Mowzerness. Merrylyn grinned and bounced over to hug Alicia. The rest of the squad sat down at the table, although Merrylyn's half kept their hands strangely out of sight. "So, how did it go?" asked Alicia, referring to the assistant surveillance mission Merrylyn had been conducting.
"It went really well! We managed to plant the little cameras in the kitchen so we can see the ovens, the table and the door. Then, since we had one left . . ." Merrylyn grinned "We put one in Legolas' bedroom"
Alicia smiled dreamily at the thought, then frowned as she realised that half her squad were fiddling with things under the table. "What are you doing?" One by one, the fangirls revealed what they held. Alicia gasped in dismay. Each of Merrylyn's squad had something that could only have come from the kitchen. A bag of flour, a frying pan, what looked like a corner from one of Legolas' cloaks and a teaspoon. Alicia shook her head "Merrylyn, you let them take stuff? They're bound to notice, it could jeopardise the whole mission!" Merrylyn hung her head guiltily. "I didn't know they had taken things"
Alicia looked at Merrylyn suspiciously. "Did you take something too?" "No- o" Merrylyn drew the syllable out. "So what did you do?" Alicia wasn't fooled. Merrylyn mumbled something, but Alicia was able to hear it all the same. "You left a ROSE? On his PILLOW?" Partly in disbelief, partly in jealousy that she hadn't been able to do this, Alicia sank into a chair. Merrylyn patted her on the back "It was only a small rose" Alicia looked up and stared at her. Merrylyn continued "he needs something to weaken the spell. I thought it would help"
Alicia chose to let it go. Anything she might have said was interrupted by a beep from the portal generator. A handy little trick Merrylyn had programmed since joining the squad, it now beeped every time Legolas moved out of the pre-programmed base area. "He's on the move again. This time I'm taking Sarah, Phaidra, Galadriël Telrúnya and the Lady of Mowzerness . . ." "Yaram" Interrupted Merrylyn. "She told me her name while we were on the mission." "Right." Alicia nodded "So we are going to go. Merrylyn, you and the others can go over the plans."
"The Rescue plans or the decorating plans?" Rose asked. "Rescue. Time is definitely of the essence now." With that dramatic declaration, Alicia set up a portal, and beckoned the fangirls to follow.
******************************************************
Alicia was just musing on the success of the training mission (once again, the squad had managed not only to control their Legolas Pouncing urges, but they hadn't screamed when they saw Smaug either) when one of the assistants portalled in. Alicia was almost too busy glaring daggers to hear her gasping something about Huinesoron . . . the dreamy dark elf? . . . Being under attack! Legolas grabbed the girl, causing much dark muttering from the squad, and portalled out.
Alicia was dumbstruck. They would not be a more perfect opportunity to rescue Legolas in a long time, if she was right in thinking another wave of fangirls would be a major assistant distraction. It was a sign. Whispering, because of the sleeping dragon, she stared bright eyed at the girls "You realise what this means? We are going to be able to rescue Legolas . . . NOW!"
(A/N) Dum Dum Duuuum! What will happen next? Will the Rescue Squad pull it off? There's only one way to find out. Tune into the next exciting instalment of "Diary of a Pancake Fangirl".
Well, actually, there's going to be three chapters about the same event. But this one gives Alicia's viewpoint, so you should still read it. Please. And review. That would be very nice!!!
