They left at dawn the next day, most of them fresh and ready for the day ahead. (A.N.: note the word "most")

"I swear, why do we need to leave so early?! I haven't gotten enough beauty rest!" Kitty yelled, stomping away from Rivendell in a very ungraceful way.

"One more word kid, I dare you." Logan was especially feeling the effects of a no-caffeine world. Scott on the other hand was wide awake and refreshed for the journey, sharing a quick word with Gandalf, discussing which roads would lead them to their destination the quickest. Rogue hadn't talked that much this morning, opting to walk ahead of everyone, simply admiring the beauty that is Middle-Earth. She ran to a rock and jumped up nimbly, catching a breath-taking view of Rivendell. The last time she had felt so amazed was when Bobby kissed her... Uh oh, there was that name. A pang of hurt echoed through her body, remembering his face, his hands, his lips. Shaking away these thoughts, she focused on the amazing view in front of her. She said aloud, to no one in particular,

"It's so beautiful." A hand gently landed on her shoulder.

"Lá ve vanya velye." (Not as beautiful as you.) Rogue turned, and stood face to face with Legolas. He held out his hand and helped her down, either ignorant of or ignoring the blush that was slowly creeping into her normally pale features.

"Mane aranya, Cundu Laiqualasse." (Good morning, Prince Legolas.) She said, smiling and raising an eyebrow. She bowed and made a gesture with her hand, one she had learned from Aragorn when she touched him. He was about to respond, but by this time, the others had come up to them by now. Kitty, Merry, and Pippin getting along very well, grumbling something about second breakfast, and Pippin was rubbing a bump on his head. Logan looked at the two and softly growled, but Legolas' keen Elvin ears allowed him to hear it. Rogue flashed Legolas a smile before being swept away by Kitty to have some "girl talk".

Three hours later

"So I was like, 'Hey, Erin, if you wanna date me you like, have to get over the whole mutant thing. And he said he couldn't! Can you believe that? The nerve of that guy! Ugh, like, why do I even bother." Kitty was still talking, and everyone else was beginning to get annoyed. "But he is like, totally hot, right?" Kitty turned to Rogue, a mischievous smile on her face.

"Kitty, I want you to try something." Rogue said.

"Ok!" Kitty was bored, something new would be exciting. Well, at least for her.

"Ok, close your eyes." Kitty willingly closed them, and she heard a ripping noise.

"Um, Rogue?" She asked.

"Keep them closed." Kitty felt something soft cover her face, well, the lower half, and tie around her head. She opened her eyes.

"Ugh, Mhh canert rawlk wiff isth nogg..." Kitty tried to say, but a strip of the cloth from Rogue's jacket was tied around her mouth.

"An ingenious idea, I think." Gandalf said, his eyes sparkling mischievously. Kitty ripped off the cloth and faced Rogue angrily.

"Haha, very funny. If you'd wanted me to shut up, you like, should have said something to me!" She said, obviously annoyed at the joke played on her.

"Shut up!" Logan, Scott, and Rogue yelled at her.

"Fine." She folded her arms grumpily. Pippin silently tugged at Rogue's skintight jeans. She bent down to listen to him.

"Shut up?" Rogue laughed in spite of herself, forgetting that they weren't used to regular-earth terms.

"It means be quiet, stop talking, cease and desist." Pippin nodded, not really caring how it worked, but glad that it did work. They walked in silence for the next three hours, each taking turns leading the group. They stopped at a rocky outcrop to eat their last meal of the day, and for a short rest.

"Two, one, five. Very good, very good!" Boromir was teaching Merry and Pippin swordplay. They circled around, Aragorn giving the halflings pointers now and then. Unfortunately for Boromir, they were very deceiving, and had ways of making him lose. Evil cackle

"Oww!" Pippin said, and Boromir lowered his sword in concern for his newfound friend. "For the shire!" Both Merry and Pippin jumped on Boromir in his moment of weakness. He laughed, feigning fear of their 'fearsome' strength. Some ways away, Gimli was sitting on a rock smoking and grumbling.

"If anyone were to ask my opinion, which I note they do not, I'd say we were taking the long way around." Kitty shrieked, running out saying,

"The long way around? The LONG way around?! I've been marching for days, and we're taking the long way? I haven't had coffee, my special shampoo, or any makeup for THREE DAYS! That's it, I need to hit something." She stalked off, in search of something, or someone, to vent her anger upon. When she was gone, Gimli continued.

"Gandalf, we could pass through the mines of Moria. My cousin Balin would give us a royal welcome." Gandalf paused, a strange look passing across his face. He took a moment before he spoke, much to Gimli's dismay.

"No Gimli, I would not pass through Moria unless I had no other choice." He walked past Logan and Rogue, who were sitting next to the fire Sam was making.

"See, if you put the twigs like this..." Rogue demonstrated, "The fire burns more quickly." Sam and her had spent their time at the outcrop preparing a meal fit for... well, them. Sausages and wine, which Logan wasn't too keen on the two teenage girls drinking it, were the meal tonight. She dusted off her hands, and looked to the sky. "Oh crap, rain." A dark cloud formed in the sky, heading their direction.

"What's that?" Asked Sam, now looking in the dark cloud's direction.

"Nothing." Gimli said. "Just a wisp of cloud."

"It's moving too fast." Boromir noted. "And against the wind."

"Crebain from Duneland!" Legolas said, identifying it. "Hide!" Aragorn instructed everyone, and they all scrambled to get in a safe spot. Sam doused the fire and grabbed the pan of sausages. But in all their confusion, someone knocked into Rogue, sending her tumbling over the side of the rocks...

DUN DUN DUN!!!!! Haha review if you wish, I am just a humble servant of the great muse in the sky...
