The next day, Leah, Rose, and Hannah were just moping around in their room, swooning secretly over Legolas and devising plans to kill off 'that evil Emily girl.'
"I think a cliff would suffice." Leah said.
"Naw, too suspicious. How about poison?" Rose said.
"Where are we going to get that?" Hannah asked skeptically. "I say we drown her."
"NO I HAVE IT!" Leah said. "We could be as nice to her as possible and I could make some Chinese Fighting Muffins and then we could give her the Chinese Fighting Muffins and when she tried to eat them she'll choke and in that time we can grab Isildor's sword off the metal plate thingy and ram it into her!"
Hannah and Rose were staring at her.
"OR we could just take Isildor's sword and ram it into her, but y'know that's just my opinion..." Rose said sarcastically.
But Leah's offended reply was cut off when Sarah walked into the room, dressed in riding clothes. She walked over to the dresser and started to brush her hair, and when she was done she started to leave again. Leah, Rose, and Hannah were just staring at her this whole time and then finally Rose said, "Where are YOU going?"
"Well, Emily invited me to go horseback riding with her, and that's what I'm going to do." Sarah said and watched their reaction with a satisfied smile.
"Traitor!" Leah cried finally, pointing at her threateningly.
"Evil!" Hannah said, standing up.
"Wait," Rose said, pulling them back down. "This is perfect! Don't you get it? Emily doesn't suspect anything from Sarah, so Sarah can poison her and she'll never know."
"Or drown her." Hannah pointed out.
"Or push her off a cliff." Leah said.
Meanwhile, Sarah was edging toward the door.
"Ummmmm... NO." She said, and took off running toward the stables, with Leah, Rose and Hannah following her, yelling crazy ways to kill people at the top of their lungs.
When Sarah got to the stables, she found that Emily and one other person were already there.
"Who is that?" Sarah asked Emily, pointing to the other girl who was standing close to them.
"I'm Jessica." She said, holding out her hand and smiling. "Nice to meet you."
"She's Faramir's girlfriend." Emily whispered to Sarah.
"What about Eowyn?" Sarah asked suspiciously.
"Still swooning over Aragorn." Emily said with a wave of her hand. "The engagement fell through about a year ago because they got into a fight. I think she said something about Faramir's nose and he got offended. But that's all I know."
"Well lets get going!" Jessica said flipping her long blonde hair over her shoulder. She pulled herself onto her horse and looked down at them impatiently. Emily got onto her horse and so did Sarah and then the three started off.
They took a clear path through the woods and even though Sarah had been on hiking trips all her life and seen many wooded areas, the elven woods were the most beautiful she had ever seen, with something new and green around every corner. Emily and Jessica seemed used to all of this already and seemed slightly annoyed but also slightly interested when Sarah told them about her old home, on earth in 2004.
But only slightly interested.
Soon they heard a commotion up ahead of them on the trail.
There were two men there, on their horses, laughing and racing as fast as they could down the trail on their horses.
Sarah could tell right off that one of them was Aragorn... she recognized him. But the other man's name was unknown to her.
The two men saw the ladies ahead just barely in the nick of time and managed to stop their horses.
Out of politeness, everyone swung down off their horses just to greet each other.
"Ladies," Aragorn said, raising his hand to say hello. "I hope you are enjoying your ride." Sarah blushed.
"Hello Aragorn. Gavy." Emily said, nodding to both of the men.
"It's King Aragorn." Jessica said, poking Emily.
Aragorn smiled. "Yes, it is king Aragorn, isn't it? Well, you don't have to use my title. I've known you and Emily for a long time, long enough that you don't have to use my title." He thought about this for a moment. "It does sound very nice though, doesn't it? King Aragorn..."
Sarah was still smiling fakely at him. "How is Arwen doing?"
"What do you mean?" Aragorn said, frowning.
"I mean, has there been anything strange happening to her lately, any tiredness, headaches, weird symptoms?" Sarah said, still smiling fakely and trying to look as if she had no idea.
"Well, yes... how did you know?" Aragorn said, looking confused. He smiled again, and then whispered, "She might be pregnant."
Sarah clenched her teeth. "I don't think so." She muttered.
Gavy interrupted them. "I don't think I've met you before." He said to Sarah. She smiled at him. "I'm Sarah, newly come to Middle-Earth."
He frowned. "Well, why don't you tell me where you come from... over there?" He pointed to a group of trees that were about ten feet away from the group, and Sarah agreed to go over there, but was very confused.
When they were out of hearing of the others, Gavy gave her an amused smile.
"What kind of poison did you use on Queen Arwen? If Elrond finds out, he'll kill you, you know."
Sarah just smiled. "I'll never tell..."
Just then Legolas swung out of the tree they were next to. "MARRY ME! Oooof!"
He fell out of the tree in a heap.
"No! I'm not supposed to fall! I'm an elf! I'm special!"
Sarah kicked him. "You already have a girlfriend, stupid oaf."
"Not anymore!" He said, frowning at her.
"That's right." Emily said from behind them. "Not anymore, that stupid good for nothing elf has been chasing after other girls while I was away, and therefore, I am leaving him for a real gentleman..."
Just then, another man rode up on a horse. "Emily, darling." He had spiky brown hair and brown eyes. He was tall and handsome, and he had eyes for only Emily.
"Everyone, this is Brian. My fiancée." He swooped her up on his horse and they rode away together into the sunset.
"Today is turning out to be weird." Sarah commented.
"I think a cliff would suffice." Leah said.
"Naw, too suspicious. How about poison?" Rose said.
"Where are we going to get that?" Hannah asked skeptically. "I say we drown her."
"NO I HAVE IT!" Leah said.
