A/N- To Tongue In Cheek Scribe: Oi ! Triplets ? I think the twins are enough for Tina to handle. Although I could be completely mean and have her have triplets. Won't Haldir be happy about that ? lol. And if I gave away every sordid detail of what happened in the room that night then this wouldn't be a PG-13 fic it would be like XXXXXX. lol. Thanks for the review.
Nienna- I sent you another e-mail but I guess you didn't get it. I also posted a comment to your journal but I still haven't heard anything from you except for the reviews. So I'll just ask you here. Do you want to write a story with me to see what kind of random, insane chaos we can come up with ? Let me know by mailing me or leaving it in the review.
So, here we are at the next to last chapter. I have massive writer's block on one part of this story but I'll see if I can work through it. I had originally planned for it to be much longer but it kind of died on me. Damn muse abandoned me to take care of her mutant plot bunnies. Stupid muse. (Muse smacks me upside the head) OUCH !
Disclaimer- I don't own it so, uhm, yeah.
Its All Your Fault
Logan's POV
Me and Jordan had our ears pressed against the door of the library to hear what was going on since we weren't allowed in. Mandy was yelling pretty loud. I now see why dad called her a screaming banshee. My ears are ringing just listening to her. "ITS ALL YOUR FAULT," I could hear Mandy screaming on the other side of the door.
"MY FAULT ! I didn't exactly make them appear in our world. Celeborn was the one who cast the spell. I don't even want to get into the reasons for that one," Mom shot back.
"But it was your idea to fight all of the orcs. Even after we had been saved my the marines. You could've just told them to drop us someplace safe," Jonothan said.
"Someplace safe," it was Matt now. "Where would we have been safe ? The damn orcs were taking over every city they walked into. New Orleans went down in less than an hour. Hammond in less than twenty minutes. Now tell me where the hell they would've taken us."
I heard Joel this time ",Out of the country. Over to Europe."
"There were orcs there too you moron," Nienna spoke up.
There was some throat clearing before the door to the room swung open sending Jordan and me into the room face first. We both looked up to see Legolas staring down at us with an amused smile on his face ",Are you sure they're not part hobbit, Tina ? They seem to have their curiosity."
"Positive. Didn't I tell you two to go play."
"Yeah, but mom...," I was cut off mid-sentance by Aragorn.
"Before they leave I need a word with young Jordan. It seems that she single-handedly sent several citadel guards to the houses of healing with complaints of mental anguish. I even had one man tell me he would rather take on a fell beast than face her again. What do you have to say to this Jordan ?"
"They don't make them like they use to," Jordan mumbled with a raised eyebrow at the king.
"I think you should have guard duty at the first gate today. Is this alright, Tina ?"
"Fine with me. Leave her out there for a week if you want to. Be sure she has to wear the armor though. We want her to have the full experience."
Aragorn rang a bell and soon two guards appeared behind us. He instructed them on what to do and soon enough they had drug my sister off kicking and screaming. I turned back to look at my mom but Mandy's appearance caught my eye ",You look better, Mandy. Less alien. I'm sure you'll fit right in back home."
I turned and ran from the room before the book Mandy threw at me could make contact. Now I was off to find the wizard who had not been in the study. It was easy enough. He was talking with Frodo in another library. Both looked at me questioningly while Gandalf spoke ",Master Logan ? I thought you would be with your mother."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need to talk to you but it seems that you've been avoiding me."
"What do you wish to speak of ?"
"How about sending us home. I don't want to stay here anymore."
"I feel that is a decision your mother must make," the old wizard laughed.
That was it. I'd had it. I wanted to go home and I was going to my last resort to get Gandalf to send us home. I grabbed his staff. I tapped it on the ground twice and made the top light up. Frodo's mouth dropped open. "I haven't spent so much time on-line trying to find a way to get rid of my sister without learning a few things. Now listen up you old, dirty, mangy, tired excuse for a wizard. You're going to send us back home. Not next year. Not next month. Not next week. But by tomorrow. I'm not hanging around here while my mom gets all cozy to that nancying elf, Haldir. I have a dad back home she needs to be with."
"I will not be ordered around by a child," Gandalf roared but was looking at his staff a little nervously.
"Have it your way," I quipped as I tapped the staff against the stone again and aimed it at Gandalf. A bright flash and then there was Gandalf the hippo.
"Turn me back."
"Say you'll send us home first."
There was a moments hesitation in which I raised the staff to hit it on the ground again but Gandalf's voice stopped me ",Fine, I will send you back in the morning."
"Good."
I tapped the staff and turned Gandalf back. I handed him his staff and he looked like he was considering turning me into a toad.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You know how my mom can get."
I left leaving a grumbling Gandalf and a speechless Frodo. I seem to get those reactions a lot and I don't even have to do anything.
Tina's POV
We were still sitting around the study yelling at one another and giving all of the elves in the room a headache. This was getting old. It was just like when we were all back in Hammond. Mandy threw one of tantrums and expected everything to go her way. Well, not this time. I had finally had enough. She behaved worse than my twins sometimes. I shot to my feet and bellowed louder than everyone in the room ",ENOUGH !" Once I had everyone's attention I spoke more quietly ",I won't accept blame for what happened. It happened. Its in the past and you guys need to get over it. If that means never speaking to the rest of us again then that's how it has to be. At least it'll save me some future headaches."
I gathered up my dress and left the room. Matt and Nienna weren't far behind me. "What now," Matt asked.
"I think its time we went home. At least its time for me to go home. The twins have too much trouble to get into here. And there's the dig site. And some unfinished business between me and O.C."
Matt sighed while running his hand over his short hair ",I think I'm ready to go home. This has been a nice weekend away but I gotta go back."
The two of us turned to Nienna who was busy kicking the floor and not looking at us. "I've been meanin' to tell you guys. I'm not goin' home. I'm goin' to the Shire with Frodo and the others."
"I see," I said with a huge grin. "Nienna can't get enough hobbit lovin' huh ?"
Nienna turned five shades of red before saying that she needed to find Frodo and running off. Matt and I looked at one another before bursting out laughing. When we managed to calm ourselves down Logan was standing in front of us.
"Are you sure that I'm the eight year old here ?"
Once again we started laughing. "What is it, Logan," I managed to get out.
"Had a nice talk with Gandalf. We're goin' home tomorrow."
Haldir appeared out of the shadows at hearing that. "You cannot leave. You just got here."
"Lets go talk, Haldir."
I lead him to my rooms and he slumped onto the bed. "Why do you wish to go home ?"
"I have responsibilities there. I have a job to finish. I have kids to raise. Do you need any other reasons ?"
"Are your duties really that important ?"
"Yours were."
"That is not fair. You can raise our children here."
"Where. You won't stay in Minas Tirith. So then where would we raise them ?"
"My home. Lothlorien."
Now it was my turn to say ",That's not fair. You want me to live in a realm full of elves ? You want me to grow old and watch as you and your people don't age a day ? Are you really that selfish, Haldir ? Would you put me through that ? Could you put yourself through that ?"
He closed the distance between us and traced the scar on my cheek ",You will never be old in my eyes. I could do it."
"You know what will happen if I stay and I die. You'll go right with me."
"We could still be together."
"My mind is already made up. I'm going home."
"Then I will not be there to see you off."
"Fine. You do what you have to do, Haldir. I'll do what I have to."
With that Haldir stormed out of the room slamming the door behind him.
The Next Morning....
The twins were the first ones to wake me up by pouncing on me. I shot out of bed knocking one twin to the side and the other one completely off of the bed. I looked down to see Jordan rubbing her backside. I grinned ",You should know better by now. This happens to you everytime."
She just pouted while Logan pulled on my arm ",Come on, Mom. Get dressed. We gotta leave. Gotta go home."
"Have you two spoken to your father ?"
"Dad's back on our world mom. Were you knocked on the head ?"
"Not O.C., Logan. Haldir. Have you two spoken to Haldir ?"
"No," Logan sniffed with his nose up in the air. God, he was too much like Haldir. "And I won't do it either."
"Fine. I won't make you. Now out. I have to get dressed."
I pushed them out of the room and then dressed in the clothes that I'd fallen here in. I met back up with my kids and we walked out to the courtyard that we had landed in. Everyone was there except for Haldir. We said our good-byes and I made the twins apologize to Aragorn for their behavior. Once gathered around again I looked over at Nienna who smiled ",Are you going to say good-bye to me ?"
"No," I shook my head with a smile ",I'm saying good luck and have fun. I'll see ya 'round."
"Be safe. Keep the twins from sharp, pointy objects," she sighed as she left us to join the hobbits.
"I'm not going back home either," Faber replied, leaving our group to go stand beside Eriana. I nodded my head with a smile. Maybe Faber could find peace here.
"Is that everyone who will be staying," Gandalf snapped. "Or do any of you have any last minute changes."
"Just send us home you old goat," Logan barked.
Blinding white light. I woke up on my couch in complete darkness. I looked around but saw no one. I ran to the twins' room and saw that they were sleeping peacefully in their pajamas which I knew they hadn't been wearing on our return trip. I searched the rest of the house but there was no sign of anyone. Was it all a dream ? The mallorn ! I ran to my research room and managed to open the safe after a few tries. It was empty. I tore the room apart. There was no sign of anything. Maybe I was crazy. The phone rang and I went to answer it.
"Hello," I sighed sounding quite dejected.
"Tina, its Matt. Did you just have the strangest dream ? We were in Middle Earth."
"Yeah. I guess that's all it was. Only a dream."
"I'm goin' back to sleep. I'll call you later."
"Fine." I hung the phone but picked it back up again. I dialed Nienna's number. There was no answer. I continued to let it ring for about half an hour before I decided she must've gotten ear plugs.
So everything was just in my head ? I was really crazy then ? So I guess my mom was right ? No way in hell.
Next Time- All Is Not Right With the World
Tina and the twins head home. This is the last chapter. I will post the next part of the story called Somewhere Over The Rainbow in the next few days. Somewhere Over the Rainbow will only be three chapters so I just thought that I'd warn you.
