Part II Of Squeakers and Men

~Day 27~

I cannot stand this damned elf any longer. He has started singing, every freaking waking moment. I want to strangle him. He knows it annoys the shit out of me, yet he does it anyway. Ever since I have lived with Elrond, when I was little, his singing always, ALWAYS got to me. Not to mention that stupid squeaky toy thing that he keeps on squeaking. I swear on my soul, I hear that damned thing one more time…

The entry ended right there when Legolas came up behind Aragorn and squeaked the toy in his ear. Standing up furious, Aragorn clenched his fist, almost shaking with anger. "You better run elf." He said through clenched teeth. Raising an eyebrow the elf stood there cockily. "Really now?" that's when Aragorn made his move. He lunged for the elf's feet. Being an Elf, Legolas was fast enough to get away leaving Aragorn to fall flat on his face.

Sprinting away, Legolas rushed past the other members of the fellowship. Shortly followed by a muddy Aragorn. Looking over his shoulder periodically Legolas was still in the lead. Aragorn was madder than mad. The elf had just made him look like a fool in front of the whole fellowship, he was going to pay. Just as he was going to shout something at the elf, Legolas disappeared from view. Slowing his pace he saw something priceless.

The Elven prince lying on the ground, face down. He had been looking over his shoulder once again, and tripped when his foot got stuck in a rather large hole. Aragorn started to laugh as Legolas pushed himself off of the ground. Legolas made to say 'Stop laughing you dirty old man' But all that came out of his mouth was a loud, high pitched squeak. That made Aragorn stop laughing for a moment, his lower lip trembled and he burst out laughing again.

Legolas was confused, what the hell happened? Aragorn tried to compose himself, but found it hard. He managed to wheeze out, "You…swallowed…..squeaker…" He just could not stop laughing. Infuriated Legolas started [tried to] yell [squeak] at Aragorn. All the noise brought forth the other Fellowship members. Legolas immediately shut up and stood with his arms crossed over his chest and glared at Aragorn.

"What is the meaning of all this noise? DO you want people to find us?" Boromir said testily. Aragorn could not talk so he just pointed a shaking finger at Legolas. "Well, what happened Legolas?" Merry asked curious. All the Hobbits were indeed very curious they were all scurrying around the Legs of the taller men. Legoals shook his head angrily.

"Get on with it lad. We don't have all day." Gimli said impatiently. Legolas debated with himself silently. He opened his mouth and shut it, looking much like a fish. Sighing silently he decided that they would know eventually. He tried to say 'this' and a lower pitched squeak escaped.

The fellowship looked slightly surprised, yet very amused. The hobbits were by then almost as hysterical as Aragorn and Gandalf couldn't help bet chuckle. It wasn't every day that an Elven prince swallowed a squeaker.

Getting really flustered, the elf started to yell/squeak again. Sending Merry and Pippin to the ground as well as Aragorn. They could not help but laugh, the elf was very flustered indeed. Stomping his foot he got them to look at him, but no other reaction.

Beyond pissed, Legolas pulled out his bow and arrow faster then they had ever seen him. He shot the arrow right between Aragorn's legs, an inch or less away from his *ahem*. This got him and the others to stop laughing pretty well. Scrambling to his feet, he spoke. "What do you expect us to do besides laugh? I mean, this is a once in a life time chance to see the prissy elf boy, squeaking because he swallowed the thing from a toy." Glaring the elf stooped to the ground drawing out letters in the dirt. They read, 'Some help would be nice!'

"How do you expect us to help you?" Aragorn said trying not to laugh again. "This happened to my cousin once. It did. We held him upside down and it came out." Samwise said stepping forward. Raising an eyebrow Legolas shook his head rashly. "Do you have any suggestions? No, so we'll go with Samwise's. Anyone got any rope?" He said turning his back from the elf.

Glaring daggers into the ranger's back, he walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. Pulling out a long coil of rope from his pack, he handed it to him. He glanced at the small hobbit and shot him a small glare. "Ok now, to a tree….."

After tying the rope tightly around Legolas' ankles. Aragorn threw the rope over a high branch. "Ready?" The elf nodded and closed his eyes. He and Boromir pulled on the rope quickly sending Legolas into the air. Hanging upside down, bouncing slightly. Snickering under his breath Aragorn tied the rope to a root, suspending Legolas indefinitely. "How long does this take young Gamgee?" Gandalf asked the Hobbit. "Oh, it depends on how far the object is lodged sir."

"Maybe if we gave it a quick jolt it will come out faster." Gimli said eyeing the rope. Legolas glared down at the dwarf, as if saying, 'don't you dare.' "Perhaps. Want to give it a shot Gimli?" Aragorn said with a cruel sparkle in his eyes. Smiling dangerously, Gimli stepped over to the rope and slammed his foot down on it forcefully, sending the elf up higher with a jolt. Taking his foot off of the rope the elf sailed back down. The quick movements did not help at al, they were more of a hindrance.

The elf had started to hiccup. Rather loudly to boot. Every few seconds or so a loud squeak emerged from his mouth. He glared the best he could. "Great, now the damned elf has the hiccups. What are we going to do now?" Aragorn said pathetically. The squeaking was getting on his nerves already. Without an answer and a particularly loud hiccup, the small piece of plastic shot out of the elf's mouth and hit the ranger square in the eye. "Damn it, why must you have such good aim." Aragorn said as he covered his eye. "Because I'm an elf you stupid mortal. Now get me down!" Legolas voice was harsh and hoarse.

"Will do." Gimli said brandishing his axe. "No!, not that…" Legolas was cut off as Gimli brought his axe down quickly cutting the rope. The elf fell to the ground in a heap. Jumping up the best he could without getting too dirty, but that was too late. "Now that I have been made fun of, hung upside down and dropped to the ground, I am going to go bathe."

Legolas stalked off grabbing a few things from his pack, leaving the rest of the fellowship still laughing.

Okay now, back to writing. That was a very eventful, and entertaining day. Never thought I'd see the day that the young elven prince got dirty. He was so pissed, it was hilarious. Nothing could top this. Even though I almost got my precious * shot with an arrow, but its okay, it didn't. Legolas was so mad he forgot to make me bathe. Wait no…

[the writing changed to the flowing script that we all know whom it belongs to]

Oh, did I? I was merely just avoiding you, although it is kind of hard to see a mangy ranger anywhere near a place of bathing which I have the pride of doing every once in a while. Now go, get on with it, the sooner you go te sooner its over.

[Back to the untidy scrawl of the Ranger]

Get away from my book you elf. Im going, Im going.

~Forever yours Aragorn.

~After Aragorn had walked away, Legolas picked the book up.

Okay now for my side of the story. The stupid squeaker got lodged in my throat. And I could not speak, and they had the pleasure of stringing me up and trying to shake it out of me. That did not work. I do agree with the ranger that I have exceptionally good aim. Got him right in the eye. Serves him right. Laughing at me like that. And just so you know the arrow wasn't supposed to hit him merely scare the Be-Jesus out of him. Which worked. Never saw him so frightened. Must do that again sometime…..

~Peace out cub scouts, until another day, 'Forever yours' Legolas Greenleaf.

*[A/N ok, sorry, HAD to put that anywho.. Whoo thanks for reading. I'e got a lot planned for this story!]
