A/N: Thank you so much for that super cool review Mistress !!!!
And don't worry, Merry will appear later on in the FanFiction. He ran off
due to 'the unfairness of his work conditions and Hobbits not being allowed
to drive in the US.' So Merry will make an entrance in probably a few
chapters!!! Woohoo!!!
Pippin: Really?! Woohoo!!!!
Me: Yes Pippin, but not in this chapter.
Pippin: Awww man . . .
Disclaimer: I don't think I own this . . . ok, I checked! I don't own LotR! But if I ever publish my book, I will own that! Booya.
Chapter 2: Airport Terror
Pippin sat in his brightly furnished Hobbit hole/apartment trying to figure out what to pack. He was afraid that Italian people would laugh at what he wore most of the time, so he didn't want to pack, but he knew he needed to pack knowing that they were leaving the next day.
Legolas all of the sudden walked in dragging a small suitcase that had Pippin's name on it.
"Ok, Pip, I took the liberty of sneaking into your room last night and stealing half your clothes then packing for you. I'm not about to walk around Italy with a poorly dressed Hobbit." Legolas said handing Pippin the bright orange suitcase.
"Thank you Legolas! I was just debating what to pack!" Pippin said wiping a tear away from his left eye.
Legolas opened his mouth to answer, when a yelling from across the hall alerted them that Aragorn and Arwen were having another fight.
Legolas and Pippin grinned at each other mischievously and walked into Aragorn and Arwen's apartment, unnoticed.
The room was furnished with Elvish stuff and then some of Aragorn's old stuff from when he was just a wee little Ranger, like his first sword. (Tiny thing, quite cute too).
The Elf and the Hobbit sat down on the gray couch, holding bowls of popcorn to watch the fight.
"Aragorn, Faramir tells me that you have been flirting with Eowyn!" Arwen hissed menecingly.
Aragorn shook his head, "No, Eowyn was flirting with me. I only responded with my own, amazing manly charm." He said, grinning cheesily.
Pippin and Legolas contained their laughter by stuffing their faces with the popcorn.
Arwen growled, "You are married to me. Eowyn is married to Faramir. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FLIRTING WITH EACH OTHER!!!!" She yelled the last part right in Aragorns face. We are certain that he lost some of his hearing from that yell.
Aragorn looked as if he was about to quail when Legolas and Pippin started chanting, "Aragorn, Aragorn." Over and over. People crowded in the doorway to watch the fight joined in the whispered chanting, making it sound like they were in a cult.
The chanting seemed to give the King of Gondor strength to look Arwen in the eye. Thoughts of two weeks without her gave him strength to open his mouth. The smell of Arwens cooking gave him just enough fear to make him speak. "Arwen, I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow. You're not coming. You'll have to go stay with some of your Elf friends while I'm gone." The hurt look on Arwen's face made him happy, so he delivered the final blow. "I'm taking the computer with me."
A gasp rose from the audience. The computer, that was harsh. Arwen burst into tears and ran into the bedroom, while people applauded Aragorns bravery and that Arwen would be out of the building for a few weeks.
Aragorn grinned at Pippin and Legolas and said, "Wow! Now we can be ready to go to the airport tomorrow! Cool!"
They then went to a bar to celebrate Aragorns victory over Arwen.
The next morning, Legolas drove his two traveling companions to the airport, slightly angry. The hobbit and the ranger had gotten drunk the night before and cut the Elf's hair. It was now very short and spiked.
Pippin groaned in the backseat of Legolas' red convertible. "Leggy" he said carefully, "You're driving way too fast."
"Bug off, Took." Legolas snapped. He looked very cool with the hair, but not liking change, the Elf didn't like it.
Aragorn sat wide-eyed in the front seat as Legolas dodged a pedestrian as he ran a red light while flipping off a taxi driver. "Legolas, Pippin's right! I don't even drive this fast, its too dangerous."
"Bug of . . . uhhh . . . Strider." Legolas snapped going on the sidewalk momentarily to dodge a slower driver.
*thump*
Aragorn and Pippin spun around to see what had made the thumping sound, and what the bump they had just felt was. What they saw was a hobbit, laying face down on the ground.
"Leggy, you just ran over my fourth cousin!" Pippin exclaimed.
"Did you know him personally?" Legolas asked pulling onto the freeway and going even faster.
"Well, no." Pippin started.
"Then, no big loss." Legolas finished for him.
Aragorn grinned, "There are a lot of hobbits in this world that no one will miss. I'm pretty sure your fourth cousin is one of those people."
Pippin shrugged and started playing with the radio.
When they reached the Airport, they all didn't know what to do. They had received excellent tickets thanks to Legolas and his good looks, but none of them had ever flown before, so they had no clue.
Legolas walked up to an information counter to ask the young lady there what they needed to do. Too bad the blonde girl was to mesmerized to even speak. That happened about three more times until Aragorn asked for directions.
"Ok, first you need to check in your luggage. Got that?" The information counter person said chewing on a humungus wad of gum. She had brown hair, and her nametag read, 'Jenni'.
Legolas, who was holding a pad of paper and a pencil, scribbled down in Elvish, 'Check in luggage'. He looked down and said to Pippin. "Got it."
Pippin looked up at Aragorn and said, "Got it."
Aragorn looked at Jenni and said, "Got it."
Jenni popped her gum, then continued. "Now, you're on a nonstop flight to Rome Italy, right" the ranger the Hobbit and the Elf nodded. "Ok, then you'll then need to go through security. So, no weapons or sharp stuff of any kind in your carry on luggage or in a pocket . . ." She saw Aragorns sword and added, "Or in a sheath. You'll have to stick that in your check in luggage. Got that?"
Legolas quickly scribbled above 'Check in luggage', 'put away weapons'. He then put as step three, 'Go through security.' He looked down at Pippin and said, "Got it."
Pippin looked up at Aragorn and said, "Got it."
Aragorn looked at Jenni and said, "Got it."
Jenni popped her gum, then continued. "Ok, now after security you'll have to go to the terminal and gate where your plane is going to be taking off from." She looked at the ticket and said, "That's at uhhh A27. So make your way to terminal 'A' then go to gate 27. Got that?"
Legolas quickly wrote down, 'Go to A27'. He looked down at Pippin and said, "Got it."
Pippin looked up at Aragorn and said, "Got it."
Aragorn looked at Jenni and said, "Got it."
Jenni popped her gum, then continued. "Ok, then all you need to do is check in at your gate at the counter then wait for them to call the row you guys are sitting on! Good luck!"
"Legolas, did you get all that?" Aragorn asked quickly.
"Yep!" Legolas said looking at his neat Elvish handwriting in admiration. He then looked at Jenni and said, "Miss, your help has been greatly appreciated. May the Valar bless you." The Elf, ranger and Hobbit all bowed to Jenni and walked off.
Jenni popped her gum again. "Hm, that was weird." She said as the next person came up.
Legolas Pippin and Aragorn were meanwhile putting all their weapons in their luggage that they were going to check in.
"Ok, we have all swords daggers, short swords, bows arrows and any other killing device packed and away, correct?" Aragorn asked as they got in line to check in their luggage.
Legolas and Pippin paused to think. After a moment Legolas nodded, signifying that he had no killing tool on him, but Pippin kept on thinking. And thinking. Until they were next in line. He then nodded happily.
"Took you long enough." Aragorn muttered.
Pippin looked confused and asked, "What?"
Legolas just said, "Forget it Pippin, it's not important." He then went to talk to the person checking in their luggage.
"Do you think he knows what he's doing?" Pippin whispered up to Aragorn.
"I don't know," Aragorn said, trying to sound mysterious, but only succeeding in sounding really weird.
Pippin looked at the nice clothes Legolas was wearing. "When did he get those?"
Aragorn shrugged. "I dunno, but he got me this to wear on the airplane!" he said admiring the nice golf shirt and slacks.
Pippin gasped. "He gave me these to wear too! He said that he's not going to be seen in an airport with a poorly dressed Hobbit."
"Legolas even made me wash my hair . . ." Aragorn said sadly.
Pippin gasped. "Wow! How'd he do that?"
"He threatened to force feed me with Arwen's cooking." The Ranger shuddered. "I'm not taking that chance before going to Italy."
Pippin nodded, then noticed that Legolas was done, and all they had was their carry on luggage, and Aragorn's laptop bag.
"Ok, Mortals, lets move!" Legolas said, walking toward security.
"Wait! What's next on the list?" Pippin called after the Elf.
Legolas turned around and pointed to a sign that said security and said, "Security, duh!"
Pippin grinned and followed after Legolas and Aragorn.
They didn't get through security with too many problems, except that Pippin found it fun to run through the metal detectors, and had to be carried away from security by Aragorn, while Legolas said apologies to the security people.
"I'm really sorry about my friend here, he is a Hobbit you know."
The security people nodded and went back to business.
When they got to the terminal, Pippin looked around in awe. "Its . . . its . . . food!!!" Pippin exclaimed starting to run toward a Cinibon.
Legolas grabbed the Hobbit before he could get to far and handed the Hobbit to Aragorn. "Hold him." Legolas said walking toward their gate.
Aragorn held Pippin over one shoulder and walked after Legolas.
They reached gate A27 and they looked at the desk where they were to check in at.
"Uhh, Aragorn, Strider buddy, its your turn to check in." Legolas said taking Pippin from the ranger and handing him the tickets.
"Nononononononono! You can't make me do this, I handled the information desk!" Aragorn said, a pleading look on his face, terror in his eyes.
"Sorry buddy, but I handled those security people too!"
"Crap." Aragorn said. Then, coughing slightly he walked up to the desk, where the meanest looking orc he had ever seen was standing behind the counter.
"Hello, I would like to check in." Aragorn said, trying not to notice that the Orc named Lenny was missing an arm.
"Ok!" Lenny said happily taking the tickets from Aragorn. "Oh wow, first class across the Atlantic, niiiicccee . . ."
Aragorn looked at the Orc wide eyed as Lenny typed madly on the computer with one hand.
"Ok! We got it! When we call first class, rows one through ten, come on up, you're on row one!"
Aragorn nodded and took the boarding passes and tickets from Lenny. He then walked to where Legolas and Pippin were sitting as quickly as he could.
"That was the scariest thing EVER!!" Aragorn sobbed.
"We're sorry." Legolas and Pippin said in unison, trying not to burst out laughing.
Aragorn sniffled and handed Legolas and Pippin their tickets. "Your not sorry that Lenny was the scariest Orc I have ever seen in my life."
"Well, he is awfully scary." Pippin commented. "He kinda looks like that Orc chieftain that tried to stab Frodo . . ."
They all paused and looked at Lenny. Lenny looked at them and smiled. They looked away from Lenny and huddled in a group.
"We did kill the Orc Chieftain, right?" Legolas hissed
"I don't remember!" Pippin said.
"I think we did!" Aragorn said after a moment.
The three sighed and glanced at Lenny.
"Maybe they're related . . ." Pippin commented.
Legolas was about to hit Pippin when they announced that they would begin boarding and called rows 1-10.
No one in that airport had ever seen someone board a plane so fast, as Legolas, Pippin and Aragorn had that day.
A/N: Ok, I hope you liked that chapter, it was kinda long . . . wowser!
Pippin: Ainasulfae, so why don't Aragorn and Legolas join in these conversations that we have?
Me: I don't know . . . maybe its because they have nothing to say.
Pippin: *gasp* I cant even imagine what that would be like!
Me: I know, Pippin, I know . . .
Pippin: Really?! Woohoo!!!!
Me: Yes Pippin, but not in this chapter.
Pippin: Awww man . . .
