shall charge forth!

Chapter 5: The Baggage Claim and the Taxi
Legolas was the first off the plane, Followed closely by Aragorn carrying a sleeping Pippin. They all had multiple bruises and Legolas was limping slightly.
"Ok, where do we go now?" Aragorn asked as they looked around.
"I'm figuring that we should go to the baggage claim. That's what the airplane told us to do!" Legolas said pointing down the terminal.
Glorfindel walked up behind them. "Follow me, boys, I know what to do." He said importantly. Then he marched down the terminal followed closely by Legolas and Aragorn holding Pippin.
"Behold my little friends!" Glorfindel said, "The baggage claim!" Apparently he felt very important that he could take them to the place.
"Thank you mellon nin." Legolas said bowing. "Your assistance is greatly appreciated."
"It was not a problem little friend!" Glorfindel said returning the bow. He then walked over to the carousel and yanked off a piece of baggage that matched his hair perfectly.
"Why did he keep calling us his 'little friends'?" Aragorn asked as soon as Glorfindel was out of earshot.
"I have a feeling it makes him feel important." Legolas responded. "Ever since that incident with Arwen-'' Aragorn shivered. "And Glorfindel's horse, he has wanted to make himself feel better."
"Oh … that makes sense." Aragorn said.
As they were waiting for their luggage to come around, Pippin suddenly woke up and jumped out of Aragorn's arms. He looked around with a bemused look on his face and started wandering around.
"Shouldn't we stop him?" Legolas asked.
"Naaahhhh . . ." Aragorn responded watching the Hobbit stare at a sign written in Italian. "Let's let him wander, we'll get him when we get all our luggage."
"Speaking of our luggage, where is it?" Legolas asked staring at a bright purple piece of luggage go by for the fourth time.
Pippin walked over and said. "Guys, I think I found all our stuff."
Legolas and Aragorn looked at Pippin expectedly.
Pippin pointed down the room a ways. "Its all over there." He then walked in the direction that he had pointed.
"Are you sure he's all right?" Aragorn asked.
"I don't know, that last football to the head seemed to have done something to him…"
They followed Pippin anyway.
When they got to where Pippin had pointed, they saw a pile of their luggage, stacked neatly in a ziggurat (you know, those layered pyramids?) On top of that pile sat a young Hobbit wearing a security uniform.
The Hobbit saw Pippin and waved. "Hi Pip!"
Pippin grinned and waved back. "Hi Merry."
Legolas and Aragorn looked closer at the Hobbit.
"By the Valar, that is Merry!" Legolas exclaimed.
"Hi Legolas!" Merry said. "Hi Strider."
The Hobbits were talking to each other as if you meet friends like this everyday, in an Italian airport in the middle of a baggage claim after not seeing each other for years.
Merry hopped off the ziggurat of luggage and grinned. "Ok, I just got off work, so I can help you guys. My car isn't big enough for all this luggage and then you big people, so I'll help you catch a cab." He grinned proudly. "I'm now fluent in Italian!"
So they gathered up their 12 pieces of luggage and left the airport to try and catch one of the white taxi cabs.
When one finally pulled over that would fit all their luggage, Merry went around to the driver to talk, they had given him the place they were staying before hand.
Merry came back looking slightly shaken. "O-ok . . . the dr-driver k-knows w-where the p-place i-is . . ."
"Merry, are you alright?" Pippin asked as Aragorn and Legolas stuck the luggage in the back.
"I-I'm fi-fi-fine . . ." Merry said still looking shaken.
"Ok, Pip, lets get in!" Legolas said opening the door.
Pippin jumped in the car and stuck his head out the window.
"Merry, maybe sometime you can show us around!" Pippin said happily.
Merry only nodded and walked off numbly for the parking lot.
The car started pulling away, so Pippin brought his head back in the window.
"I have never seen Merry act so strange." Aragorn said rubbing his chin.
"Nor I." Legolas said sitting in the middle of the backseat.
Pippin laughed. "Then obviously you have never seen Merry when he gets drunk. He acts weirder than that!"
They drove in silence until Legolas leaned forward to ask the driver a question.
"Umm, excuse me, but how much longer till we reach the hotel?"
The driver answered in Elvish. The driver was also female.
Legolas sat back looking petrified. Aragorn looked curiously at the driver's seat in front of him.
"What's wrong, Legolas?" He asked.
Legolas just stare straight forward his blue eyes wide open and terrified. He stayed that way until the taxi stopped at their destination near half an hour later, when he jumped over Pippin out the open window and hid behind a lamppost.
Pippin looked at Legolas curiously then turned to Aragorn. "Why don't you pay? I think you have Euro."
Aragorn nodded as Pippin climbed out and started pulling their luggage out. It all fell out and landed on top of the little Hobbit in a giant heap.
"ooooowwwwwww."
Aragorn snickered and walked up to the driver's window and asked, "How much?"
"Nothing for you honey!" Responded the driver in a sweet sounding voice.
Aragorn looked at the driver, his eyes widened as his mouth opened and he let out a yell.
"GIVE ME MY SWORD!!!!" He shouted.
Legolas ran over to the heap of luggage and managed to grab the weaponry bag and pull out Aragorns sword. "Mellon nin, hurry!" Legolas cried throwing the sword to Aragorn.
"That I shall!" Aragorn said drawing his sword. Arwen had gotten out of the taxi and looked at Aragorn terrified.
"Honey, you wouldn't kill me!" She said tearfully.
Aragorn responded with a war cry and charged at Arwen.
She screamed and jumped into the car, quickly driving away.
A/N: Ok, waddya think? I personally liked that chapter! Now where do you think that they should go next? Should they go to
The Vatican
The Colosseum and the Roman Forum
Please tell me where you want them to go, and possibly whom they meet
with. If no one tells me I'll just be forced to ask my sister and

decide myself… Please review!
