[AN: Helloooo, yet again I can think of no comments that are even remotely funny and I am only writing this chapter because my sister is bugging me too, therefore if it is a load of rubbish, blame her.]
Without letting go of her grip on Elrond's clip Diane turned round.
"Oh hi, Megan. What are you all doing here?"
"Diane, what are you doing here? And why are you clinging onto Elrond's hair?"
Elrond, may I add was moaning the same old line about annoying humans but we were all getting good at ignoring him.
"Oh," Diane said, "I didn't realise this was someone's hair. I was looking at the butterfly, see isn't it pretty!" with one last tug she managed to wrench it from Elrond's head, complete with a large bunch of hair, which made Elrond yelp in pain. Turning round, he gave us the scariest glare you could imagine. Seriously, if looks could kill everyone in a five mile radius would be dead.
"That is it! I have had it with random girls invading my home and harassing its inhabitants. I have been insulted, my friends have had their ears practically pulled off and now someone is trying to pull all my hair out. You are all going with the fellowship, even if it seriously jeopardises the quest. I don't care as long as my sanity is intact. If anyone disagrees they can go and boil their heads, ok? And I'm using a word I don't even know!"
Well of course no one was going to disagree with an insane raving elf lord so we all, Gandalf included, just stood there nodding our heads, with the exception of Diane who was decapitating the 'pretty butterfly'.
Breathing a sigh of relief Elrond left the courtyard, muttering dwarfish curses to himself under his breath and the remaining members of the council, (the ones from middle earth I mean) looked at each other in confusion, shrugged and left the courtroom, talking amongst themselves at the confusing events that had just occurred. Personally I hadn't found them that confusing but there you go.
"Diane" I said curiously "How did you get here?"
"Well" she said, clipping the remains of the butterfly onto her hat. "I was looking at a lord of the rings poster, when I saw the butterfly on Elrond's head and I reached out to prod it when all of a sudden I was running through a long tunnel with flashing lights, still following the butterfly. Next thing I knew I was standing behind two short people and then I saw the butterfly clip and it was shiny so I had to have it."
"Right" I said nodding. I had to ask, I just had to ask.
"Well" I said, turning to Sam. "At least we know how everyone got here now"
"Yeah" she agreed "We were all doing random things that were connected to middle earth, and then we got transported through a tunnel flashing lights and ended up here."
"Exactly" I nodded "I'm not going to ask how that works"
The five of us walked towards the house, well actually me, Sam and Elin walked, Diane leapt around chasing butterflies as she went and the evil one was dragging her feet and muttering something about how it was all a bad dream and she was going to wake up soon.
As soon as we reached the house an elf maiden arrived and said:
"I have a message from Elrond, he says that Diane and Lauren should follow me to some rooms that have been allotted to them, and that Elin can either go back to her room or go with them. He also says that as Megan and Sam seem to have the greatest understanding about what is going to happen could they please come and speak to him in his study, Figwit will show you the way.
Elanor and I looked at each other; identical grins spreading on our faces as a tall elf with black hair approached us cautiously, obviously having heard about Elanor's obsession with ears.
"Figwit Figwit Figwit!" we cried and ran after the elf, flapping our arms and cawing like demented chickens.
Figwit looked rather worried but he led us to the study and we managed to enter looking slightly saner than usual. Not that that's hard.
"Please sit" he said gesturing to two chairs, we sat and looked expectantly at the now calmed down elf lord, waiting for what he wanted to tell us.
"You seem to know exactly what is going to happen, I am not going to ask you as I know it would be wrong but I would like to tell you to be careful. Even though you do know everything, things do not always go as planned. I will have you kitted out in armour before you leave, although I'm not sure if you will be able to use it. Can any of you fight?"
"I can do archery" Elanor said, "And put a blade3 in my hands, and we'll see who's left standing."
"Well I can't do anything really in combat, though I'll try my best, Diddins can do fencing, she learnt it for her duke of Edingbourough award, not that you have a clue what that is. I doubt my sister's friend can do anything useful; she's highly stupid like that. My sisters good at rugby tackling people, though I'm not sure if that would work against orcs."
Elrond followed this flow of words with great difficulty but I think he picked it all up, nodding he replied
"Very well, I will see you are all given swords and Elanor I will get a bow made for you."
Elanor smiled the first non-evil smile she had smiled in Middle-Earth. "Lord Elrond, I believe that I am forever in your debt! I've been missing my bow so much . . . and I've only been here for a couple of hours. Hannon lye, heru, and I don't even care that that's a mix of Sindarin and Quenya."
"Lord Elrond, could you possibly get me a bow, I've always wanted to learn and I'm sure Legolas would teach me" I said, fluttering my eyelashes in what I hoped was an endearing manner. From the look of utter terror that Elrond gave me, I expect he didn't really find it that attractive, oh well at least he agreed to give me a bow.
"Very well, I will also give you a bow and make sure that you are all given lessons in at least the basic skills of using your respective weapons."
"Thank you Lord Elrond, is that all, we should probably go tell Elin, Diddins and the evil one of the plan. Oh and the evil one has supernatural strength so she would probably like her weapon better if it weighed several kilos, the heavier the object she's wielding, the more dangerous she is."
"Very well Megan, I will make sure her weapon is specially heavy." I don't think he meant it, I expect he twigged that I was joking but then I suppose he is the cleverest elf on middle earth so I spose I'll forgive him.
[AN: Does Elrond believe Megan, will the evil one be given a sword that's too heavy for her use and therefore condemning her to almost certain death in battle due to no weapon, we can only hope. Find out in the next chapter of TFAFRGFEWFLT
I have decided that as you really don't know any of the random girls I have introduced I will tell you about them in order of appearance.
Elanor/Sam/purplefluffychainsaw: Ok I haven't really been friends with her for all that long but due to our common obsession and our extremely similar warped senses of humour (at her party recently we were both in hysterics over the phrase The Lord Of Impeccable Timing, but unless you have read Vignettes of the Fellowship that wont make any sense) we get on extremely well. Purplefluffychainsaw is her name on ff.net I like her stories, feel free to read them.
Elin: My sister is extremely bizarre, she likes the film of LOTR but she has never read the book, however although she has never read the book she loves all the fanfic stories that I print off for her, or rather my dad prints of at his work but there you go. I generally get on well with my sister but we can get into arguments sometimes. Like whether or not Lauren is evil (she is)
Lauren/evil one: I really don't like her, although she is my sister's best friend. Basically, as I have said before, because she decided to push my sister in front of a lorry. The lorry was only going about two miles an hour but she might have broken her ankle or something and been unable to get out way and so squashed to a pulp. And as I said generally I get on with my sister and she is the only one out of three that I actually like. It's quite funny really cause every time a lorry goes past now and I'm anywhere near Lauren I always say, look Lauren, there's a lorry, its quite amusing watching her face turn purple and it really adds to the whole clown effect. Anywho, she also has a tendency to insult me as well, or glare evilly at me so really my dislike of her is justified, maybe, heh.
Diane/Diddins/Bobbins: well Diane is one of my friends at school and she is utterly insane. The clothes that I described her wearing is a typical everyday outfit for her. She also has this amazing huge fluffy orange and red coat thing. She doesn't care if anyone thinks her clothes are strange, she wears them anyway. She also very funny, well I find her hysterical but the rest of my friends just find her funny, for instance she is doing PE for GCSE and she every time she does this thing when you hold on to two ropes while hanging upside down she always lets go. Seriously, then she either whack her head on the floor or Sophie, another of my friends somehow manages to catch her and ends up getting squished.
Oh and some of you may recognise Figwit, in a story by someone The Phantom I think, but I cant be sure, there is an elf named Figwit who stands up in the council of Elrond and comments on the fact that it is really stupid letting the hobbits to take the ring because there so small. At this point Aragorn stands up and says, "they may be small but their Super Calloused Fragile Midgets Plagued With Halitosis then starts singing it to the tune of supercalafragilistisexpialadotios (probably spelt wrong but there you go) and the umdiddle iddle umdiddle ies are supplied by Legolas and Gimli. Its really quite funny try singing it, it's a bit of a tongue twister. Anywho I thought it would be funny to include in the story, it was a sort of spur of the moment thing.
Ok I'm done now, I doubt if any of you actually read this note but there you go, Namarie
And in true purplefluffychainsaw style (not that that would mean anything to you)
Love, Drugs, and Fairy Boys Woop! Yay! Indeedy that beith my style-y of things! YAY!
