*flash back*

"Oh cr....!" I stopped myself from cursing. It was my best friend, Devon. She knew as much about Lord of the Rings as I did, and I knew if she saw him, she would recognize Legolas.

*end flash back*

I pulled Legolas down so she couldn't see him anymore, then slowly we crawled toward the bathrooms. I guess he had learned not to question when I did something strange, because he gave little resistance.

When we finally reached a spot where Devon couldn't see us, I straightened up and sighed with relief. She hadn't followed us. Legolas looked at me inquiringly. "She's one of my best friends," I explained. "She knows...about...you..." I trailed off, realizing Devon would be one of the few people who would understand and not think that I'm crazy.

I sighed again and looked at the ground. To reveal Legolas, or not to reveal Legolas, that was the question. I knew that Devon would keep it secret, but I didn't like the idea of anyone else knowing about Legolas. She could want to keep him here, not let him get back home!

No, I wouldn't let her meet Legolas. Not yet at least. I looked up to tell Legolas what we were going to do, but he wasn't there! "Oh my gosh, Legolas, where did you go?"

"I'm over here, Kara" Legolas' voice said from the next aisle. I hurried toward it, he sounded worried. As I rounded the turn, what I saw stopped me cold. Two girls, about 16 or so, were pressing up against him, holding out papers and pens.

'They think he's Orlando Bloom' I realized. Legolas looked pleadingly over the tops of their heads at me, and I almost laughed. Instead I sighed and shook my head mockingly as I walked up the aisle and, taking Legolas' hand, dragged him away from the two girls.

I ignored their squeals of "Hey! Get in Line!" and quickly ducked into the produce department. "Legolas, Legolas, Legolas," I said, shaking my head. "Why is it you can't keep out of trouble?"

He grinned. "What can I say, the ladies love me."

"Wha...You've been watching TV, haven't you!"

He stared at me. "If TV is that strange box where the small people live, then I suppose so."

I nodded as I looked down the aisle, only to see Devon holding a bunch of bananas. "Oh no," I said.

"What is it?" Legolas asked. I pointed, then before he could say anything I grabbed his shirt and pushed him behind a large stack of boxes. "Don't make a sound," I said, silently praying Devon hadn't seen him.

I walked what I hoped was nonchalantly up to a display of peaches, making a show of picking the perfect one. I spun around as someone tapped me on the shoulder. I was about to say "Legolas, I told you to stay put," but it was Devon.

"Leg...Deeevvvooon. I purred sweetly. "What a surprise to see you here!" She nodded, but stared at me quizzically. "So how are you doing on the big project?"

"Oh, fine. I've almost got the research done."

"Great!"

I noticed Legolas stepping out from behind the boxes and looking at me. I made a face and a motion for him to get hidden. Devon noticed my movement and turned to look behind her just as Legolas stepped behind the boxes.

"What is it Kara?" She asked.

"Oh, nothing," I smiled.

Just then Devon's mom, bless her, called out, "Devon, time to go."

"Well, see ya later," I said, trying not to sound like I wanted to get rid of her.

"Yeah" she said, walking off, but I noticed her looking over her shoulder at me.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I walked over to the boxes and pulled Legolas out. That was close," I said as I started for the checkout line. Legolas followed me.

"You said that is one of your best friends?" He asked. I nodded absently, but just as I chose a short line I heard Legolas mutter loud enough for me to hear, "Not another one."

I whirled on him and threatened to slap him. He started laughing hysterically, and I didn't speak to him most of the walk home.

Hee Hee, more fun with Devon next chapter. Thanks to all our WONDERFUL REVIEWERS, which include

blue alien: Thanks! Well, so far we haven't starved, so that's good. I WISH Legolas was my boyfriend, but I don't think we're making this one a Legolas romance.

open eyes: Thanks, glad your back reviewing! Ok, I told Devie I would if I got any requests, so I hope this chapter was long enough for you.

kairi: Thank you so much! I like your name, it's pretty. I'll update as fast as I can.

LegosGrl: Thanks a lot! I'm working on making chapters longer.. I could tell you were hyper, but it's all good. When I'm hyper is when I get my best writing done!

Silver Chaotic: Thanks! I hope so too. Yes, I'll ignore that, but it's a nice saying. Also, I like your name, it sounds, well, like my life! ;-)

Ahem, and now, a word from my inept cowriter... *Filia Regalis cringes as Devie Saves slaps her, then runs off to find Legolas for comfort*

Yo, Devie Saves here!

Hey, thanks to all the reviewers out there! This story is turning out with a lot of reviews.

FYI, I, Devie Saves, am one of the authors of this story, we just agreed to put it up under Filia Regalis' name. I think it's going quite well, and if you've noticed, Filia Regalis has gotten most of the credit for the last few chapters, cause she's done most of em, but you'll see more of my writing in later chapters. But I have helped with the last chapters, really. It wasn't all her. I AM a faithful cowriter!!!

Oh, and if you saw the review I gave Filia for chapters 2 and 3, I'm really not as much of an idiot as I sound. Okay, I can't lie to my reviewers... I guess I AM as much of an idiot as I sound... but I'm really not too bad to know.

*"HA!" comes from out of the room which is cut off by "Legolas! There you are!"*

Uh, yeah. Hope ya keep reading!!! (we've got GREAT plans for the upcoming chapters...)

Signed,

DDG

~Servant of the Sea~

*Filia Regalis comes back with stars in her eyes and little hearts flying around her head. She is quickly followed by Legolas who, coincidently, was swimming in the pool, so is dripping wet and looking so hot in trunks.

Devie, unable to take it any longer, gets up and starts a catfight with Filia, who has Legolas defending her. While Devie continues to fight Legolas and try to flirt with him at the same time, Filia Regalis sneaks over to the keyboard*

Ahhhhh. Anyway, now, as a last comment, my usual little saying about reviewing...

The mouse of the reader is moving....the time to review has come.

(Eheh, I think I read that in another fic...Oh well. It's like in the trailer, when Legolas says, "The the eye of the enemy is moving." And then this one guy, in purple underpants, starts...Well, if you haven't see the trailer, I won't spoil it for you ; p I need to go rescue Legolas from Devie...)
