This story is continued for my personal pleasure. May others enjoy.
Though they were together again, it still was for some reason almost boring for the fellowship members. Perhaps it could have been the lack of things to kill. All this pent up energy was too much for some of the group. Well, basically the hobbits. To add to this, a storm front had swept in causing most to reside indoors. Also, you must remember, there was no cable to keep them occupied.
All sat in the great all talking idly in the midst of a great storm swirling above them. Arell and Legolas were in deep competition in the middle of the floor, a game of chess before them. Aragorn and Gimli had previously removed all weapons from them. Gimli was waiting to play winner.
The three hobbit males were in a circle around CeNedra and Arwen who were dealing out Sam's fortune on a deck of cards. And a disturbing fortune it was.
"According to the cards, the person you have picked as the ace of clubs can do some serious damage with a cat o nine tails..." The group burst again into giggles, except for Sam who was giving Arell a disturbed look. As the questions got more and more serious he fled from the room and the laughter that followed him down the hallway. CeNedra winked at Arwen.
"One down, two more to go..."
Aragorn had recently picked up a lute and was strumming it quietly whilst listening to the conversations/banter of his dear friends.
Dinner came slowly and eventually for the group, as the almost ran into the dining hall, Gimli riding on the shoulders of Legolas and Aragorn, him being the champion of chess. Arell marching huffily behind along with Pip and Merry looking shocked, as well as Arwen and CeNedra smiling smugly.
After feasting on a large meal of venison and, for CeNedra, meatloaf they settled for bed.
Cold winds and great thunderclaps whistled through the dark halls. The inside of the castle was nearly as alive as the outside. In one of the smaller rooms a large sheet/tent was erected and pajama clad persons were hiding underneath with a lantern.
"I wonder what Gimli's pajamas look like..." CeNedra snickered.
"I don't think he wears any." Sam said. Many 'ew's came from the tent.
"Okay, enough of that, now tell us more, CeNedra!" Pip begged.
"You sure you want to know more?"
"Yes! No one ever told us anything like that in Buckland!" Merry cried.
"Well, okay then. First what you do is take the peanut butter..."
A huge bolt of lightening shook the very foundations of Minas Tirith, Arell skidded down the hallways, past the hobbits room, past Gimli's, and straight into a certain long-haired elf's.
Gown clad and clutching a stuffed Oliphant doll, she jumped in the large bed and curled into a fetal position. Legolas was startled awake.
"What in earth's name are you doing!" Arell sunk lower into the covers.
"Sleeping, what's it look like." She muttered through a soft blanket.
"Yes, but why in my bed? You're not afraid of the storm are you?" No answer. "You're such a girl" He sighed.
"Wow, I am amazed how little time it took you to figure that one out." She kicked him and stretched out to steal one of his pillows. "Now if you excuse me, I would like to go to bed."
"Oh, I am so sorry to bother you."
"As you should be."
