The I Hate You Club

Tina's POV

I was in one of the Citadel's many rooms with Aragorn, Arwen, Gandalf, Celeborn, Elrond, and Galadriel. Elladan and Elrohir were joining us also but mainly because they were avoiding Mandy. It seems that the troublesome duo dyed Mandy blue to see what she would look like. They were quite happy with the results but lets just say that Mandy was less than pleased with her new skin color. Matt had decided to explore the grounds. Joel, Faber and Jonothan were trying their luck with some of the local women. Everyone else I had no idea where they were.

"Now, Celeborn, can you please inform us as to your reasons for bringing Tina and her friends here from their world," Aragorn asked a little more sharply than what was needed.

"I was quite tired of Haldir moping around but mostly it was because no one believed me."

"No on believed you," I shot back, sitting forward in my chair. "That is the crappiest reason I have ever heard. You're an elf, so you're what, a billion years old ? You're acting like you're two."

"I just wanted everyone to know that I was not crazy," Celeborn mumbled to the floor.

"I think you are even crazier now," Galadriel spoke for the first time. "Pulling these poor children from their home world, from their lives, just satisfy your fancy."

"Lady Tina," Eriana called from the doorway ",Marchwarden Haldir wishes a word with you."

"I have already informed you that I needn't be announced," Haldir barked pushing past the frazzled girl. Haldir stormed up to me and ground out from beneath clenched teeth ",Might I have a word with you in private, Lady Tina."

Galadriel looked up at her trusted guard with a frown ",Haldir, we are in the midst of an important discussion. Can this not wait ?"

"Nay. Now if you will just come with me." Haldir didn't give me much of a choice considering he threw me over his shoulder. I pounded on his back for a split second before I realized that it would do no good. I looked up to see Galadriel with a concerned look on her face while the others tried to hide their amusement.

"I would choose your answer to his question wisely, Lady Tina," Galadriel advised in my head.

So I guess that Haldir was just a bit more than slightly pissed. Once we were a suitable distance away from the room that Haldir had kidnapped me from (I guess he didn't want the other elves to hear) he dropped me onto the ground. Stone is not as soft as you would like to believe. I quickly stood up and rubbed my aching backside.

"What the hell is your problem ?"

"You married another."

"And your point would be ?"

"That you married another. You should have married me."

"See," I began going into mom mode and talking to him like I would Logan or Jordan ",there's this little problem. It begins with you being here in Middle Earth and with me being on Earth. We are from two very different times. Two very different worlds. How could we've gotten married ?"

"We could have found a way."

"Typical man."

"I am not a man. I am an elf. Do not insult me."

"That's another problem right there. You're a snob. You hate humans. So how could you marry me. I'm human. Hello...you don't like humans."

"I like you. That's all that should matter."

"You don't marry someone you like, Haldir. You marry someone you love."

Haldir's face went dark as he scowled. "You married O.C. Can you tell me that you love him."

Now it was my turn to scowl. I hadn't expected him to ask that. I just thought that since I was a human and he was an elf that he would get over it and move on. Stupid elf. "We married out of necessity. I was put in a bad place by my mother and the only way out was to marry someone so that the twins would have a father."

"You did not marry him out of love. So how can you say that I could not marry you."

"I....argh, its like talking to the kids."

I stalked off down the hall and ended up bumping shoulders with Mandy the Smurf. "Watch where you're going, freak," she hissed.

"Excuse you, Miss Center of the World. Why are you mad at me anyway ?"

She didn't answer. Mandy just continued on her mission to find Elladan and Elrohir so she could kill them.

Nienna's POV

Yeah, still cuddling with the god of hobbits. So...go away.

Tina's POV

The bell for dinner soon rang and I set out to find my children who I hadn't seen all day. Which could only be taken as a bad sign. They were in the banquet hall, sitting as far away from everyone as possible. I sat down beside them and was greeted by a round of angry stares that brought out parental guilt. "I'm sorry. But the grown ups had to talk. I was trying to find us a way back home."

"I got punished," Logan pouted. "You throw one maid in the lake and you get put in the corner for an hour. That's harsh."

"I made the guards scream," Jordan chirped. "And I made them run away. It was fun."

I smiled down at them while trying to be stern at the same time. It didn't work. "Well, I'm here to eat with you guys and then I'll tuck you in for the night. We'll spend time together."

They both brightened at that. Logan though soon adopted a frown ",Tell the Haldir guy to go eat somewhere else."

Standing at the head of the table was Haldir who was trying his best to be nice despite the way the kids had been treating him. "May I sit ?"

"No," both twins barked out.

"Do it at your own risk, Haldir."

He sat and for once the twins were completely quiet through dinner.

Meanwhile in one of the studies....

"Why should I help you cast yet another spell," Elrond asked his father-in-law.

"No one is being honest with themselves or each other. Mandy, Joel, Jonothan and Faber refuse to tell Tina, Matt and Nienna why they're mad at them. Tina and Haldir refuse to admit their feelings for each other. And Mandy, Joel, Faber, Jonothan, Tina, Matt or Nienna are dealing with what they went through. We have to help somehow. I just do not wish to mess this one up as badly as I have previous spells."

Elrond sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose. What was he to do. It was true that they needed to sort things out so that they could get on with their lives. But was a badly cast spell the way to do it. If Elrond helped out it may not go wrong. Elrond looked at Celeborn who was silently pleading ",Fine, I will help you. But if this one goes awry then you take full responsibility with those who will come after you."

"I think I will be able to live with that."

And so they began to work their magic.

Back in the dining hall....

"Lady Tina, Haldir has told us that you have a remarkable voice. As well as that some of your companions are very skilled in playing music. Will you sing and play for us," Lady Galadriel requested from the head table.

"I'm afraid that Haldir does not know a good voice when he hears one. I will have to decline your request."

"Tina," Aragorn called ",please serenade us. There are instruments in the far corner as you can see. Perhaps your friends could play along."

I was going to protest again when I felt something warm spread through my chest. I looked down to see that I was glowing. When I looked back up I could see the faint glow all through the hall. I felt the compulsion to sing. Without warning something that sounded slightly like a guitar began to play followed by some strange sounding drums. I opened my mouth and began to sing:

Overbearing panic attack entrenching my veins In an hour I'll be ok I pray this pain will go away permanently someday I've seen more than.
I should have to.
I've seen this on my own

this song is a,
poem to myself,
it helps me to live... in case of fire,
BREAK the glass, and move on into your own...

reoccurring drowning effect entrenching my brain,
i hope you'll be ok someday,
so i can say that you moved on in the right way... WE'VE seen this and WE'VE breathed this and WE'VE lived this on our own...

this song is a,
poem to myself,
it helps me to live... in case of fire,
BREAK the glass, and move on into your own.
your own...

BREAK...

this song is a,
poem to myself,
it helps me to live... in case of fire,
BREAK the glass, and move on into your own...

When it was over I could only sit there staring at my plate while we were applauded. It had been years since I had sang. The twins didn't even know that I use to be in a band. I had never sang them lullabies or anything because it hurt too much to sing. Why had I chosen now to do it. "Haldir is not a bad judge of voices if I may speak for the Marchwarden," Galadriel whispered in my head.
"I don't know why I did it. I just felt like I had to or I would burst," I thought back to her.
Little did I know what had really caused me to do it but that I would find out soon enough.

A/N- Next Chapter- The Buffy Rip-Off. This idea has been slowly gnawing at my brain so I decided to go ahead with it to save what little mind I have left. The spell does not go as planned. Now everyone in Middle Earth is singing about their feelings. (shakes head) Stupid plot bunnies. Anyway, they're not singing Middle Earth songs at all. They're singing modern songs since the spell went wrong. Will Mandy, Faber, Jonothan and Joel finally tell Tina, Matt and Nienna why they're angry with them. Will Tina and Haldir get over themselves. Will the twins (both sets) suddenly have manners ? Tune in next time to find out.
