Chapter Two – Meeting the Four

The new face lit up with shock, and he jumped back, as did Amanda. Amy and Jo could now see three other figures with him; a young dark haired individual and two identical men with long rave hair.

Amanda drew in a long breath, and then blushed a deep furious red. "Oh God..." she groaned. "I just screamed in somebody's face!" She hung her head in shame.

The first blonde haired person picked himself up off the ground. The other who accompanied him laughed.

"It's nice to see the various reactions you instil in maidens, isn't it Legolas?!" The identical pair laughed as well.

"Ha ha," replied the first. "I wasn't scared... I just wasn't expecting that."

Jo's brow furrowed. "Wait a sec..." she mumbled to the other two girls. "Legolas?!"

"Oh no!!!" gasped Amy. "We haven't... please say we've not..."

Amanda, not really listening, was still trying to calm down, her hand on her chest as she calmed her breathing. "I screamed in someone's face!!! I don't believe it..." She pushed her glasses back up her nose where they had been knocked askew.

"That's not the least of our worries Amanda..." said Jo. "Do you realise where we are?!"

Amanda looked at her, confused. "In a bush!" she replied. "I'm not that thick!"

Amy slapped her forehead. "Yes you are..."

Amanda continued to stare at Amy and Jo. Suddenly it was if a light had been
switched on inside her head. Her shocked expression changed to a deep frown
and her eyes widened with even more alarm

"No..." Amanda gasped

"Yes," Jo added

All the while the three elves watched in amusement as Amanda jumped back even further from Legolas. The elves has politely ignored the clothing and state of the girls, though the curiosity in the four's expression could not be missed by even Amanda.

Jo had to hold on to Amanda by the wrist to keep her from running away. In all honesty Amy and Jo were taking this quite well. Amy broke the silence of the clearing

"A bloody arrow!" She said as she tried to tug it, but to now avail, out of her floral patterned denim bag. With her other hand Jo too began to help, anything to pre-occupy her mind from accepting her whereabouts and who stood a few metres from her, while Amanda found it much easier to stare at the ground mumbling

"I screamed at him, at him,"

"I'm sorry," Legolas said and began to stride over to the girls, who instinctively took a few steps back. Any further and they would end up walking into a tree.

"About the arrow, it's mine. Here let me try," He finally got close enough and tugged the arrow clean out of Amy's bag. Only a small hole was left, but Amy seemed content with her now arrow-less bag.

"He's also sorry for scaring you," the young dark haired man said, trying not to show his mirth at the situation.

I wasn't scared," said Amanda, sniffing. Everyone present looked at her, knowing she was lying. Amanda felt a bit put down. "Really!"

"Of course," said Jo suddenly, a mischievous glint her in eye, "We believe you... There's bound to be another reason why you look like you're about to faint, having just run into a certain Mirkwood Elf..."

Legolas snapped his head up at her frowning in alarm and surprise, but Amanda's eyes went like saucers.

"Don't you dare!" she hissed, and Jo found it hard to suppress her mirth, while Amy sniggered at her side.

"Don't dare do what?" she asked innocently. The two dark haired twins couldn't help but to think that expression on a mortal was all too familiar.

"If you say -" began Amanda.

"Say what?" protested Jo, "I really don't understand!"

"Besides, I think you'll find I'm hardly the only one," Amanda scowled slightly.

"Okay, okay, don't worry," chuckled Amy, while Jo had to turn away; all present caught a distinct 'A New Shadow' float on the air.

"JO!"

"Erm - could one of you explain...?" prompted the young man, looking at each girl in turn.

"I think perhaps it's a private joke, Estel," laughed one of the twins.

"And it is going to stay that way..." Amanda growled, shoving Jo playfully, who couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter.

"Names!" cut in Legolas suddenly, stopping the impending hysterical fits; "You seem to know who I am, at least," he said a little curiously, "But I don't believe that we have ever met you."

"We've only just met each other," said Amy, fiddling with the new extension on her bag, "But I'm Amy."

Amanda pushed her glasses back up her nose again. "Amanda," she nodded, still keeping an eye on Jo.

"E-Bay!" quirked Jo, earning herself yet another shove and four sets of raised eyebrows. "Alright! Jo, my name's Jo."

"Amy, Amanda, Jo..." repeated Legolas, feeling the new and unfamiliar names roll off of his tongue.

"I'm Estel," said the young man, holding out a hand to Amanda, "And don't worry, he's not really that scary once you get to know him."

"Be careful, human..."

"Try me, elf," Estel teased; "These are my brothers, Elladan and Elr- no, wait, Elrohir and Elladan," he introduced the two twins, pointing at each in turn.

"Tsk, tsk, Estel," said Elladan, shaking his head as he shook Amy's hand, "Can you not even tell your own brothers apart?"

"Mortals Dan - I don't suppose we'll ever understand them... are you alright?" Elrohir asked Jo, whose hand he had taken. Her eyes seemed to have glassed over as she looked at him, and didn't respond when he spoke.

"Oh dear..." sighed Amy, and stepped between the two. "Jo? You look like a jelly bean..."

"Mmn..." murmured Jo, still phased.

"Jo? Hello? Jelly bean girl?"

Again, Jo was mostly unresponsive.

"Well, this is fun," stated Amy flatly as the other four looked on confused, but Amanda was racking her brains.

"I've got an idea," she said wickedly, and stepped into Jo's line of vision. She put on her most fearful face. "Jo?" she whispered slowly. "You have a huge spider in your hair."

The effect was almost immediate. Jo screamed and jumped about wildly, shaking and scratching at her head.

"AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!! GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she shrieked, while Amanda and Amy fell about laughing. After a few moments, Jo noticed that not only was there nothing in her hair, but that Elrohir was eyeing her very strangely. Gradually, she stopped wailing and fell silent, then coughed.

"I... erm - ...yeah."

Estel and Legolas exchanged glances, and then had to study a near-by tree very closely.

"I think perhaps we should go to our father?" suggest Elladan, his twin nodding in agreement. "Is that okay Amy, Amanda? Spider-girl...?"

Amy snorted but stifled it when Jo sent her a venomous look.

"That sounds... great," said Amanda brightly, thrilled at the chance of meeting an elven Lord - well, that, and having just completely humiliated Jo.

Gathering themselves together, they followed the twins in a procession down deeper into a wooded valley, and Amanda drew along side Jo once more.

"So... Spider-girl eh? You're good at first impressions aren't you?"

Jo merely grinned wryly. "You have no idea..."

Thoughts please!!!

For those of you who did not understand the part where we wrote; "'A New Shadow' float on the air" part, I will explain. A New Shadow was a fanfic which I wrote on my Star-Stallion account in which I killed Legolas... yeah... nice, eh?!
