Heather POV

So I had gotten us into this big mess...oopsie poo. Lizzie was busy concentrating on something I don't know what. All I knew was that I wanted to be untied so I could curl up and go to sleep. As all the drama was unfolding, the sky darkened. I sighed, and suddenly the ropes that were cutting off the circulation to my hands came loose and all but fell off of my hands. I looked at Lizzie, who mouthed "Galadriel" silently.

'Oh thank you so much Miss Lady!' I thought gratefully.

'You're welcome,' said a voice in my head.

"Uh...ok." I muttered under my breath.

I took a deep cleansing breath. I really wanted another cigarette ... badly. And darn it! I also had to pee really bad too.

"Haldir!" I shouted.

He came swiftly. "I thought I told you to be silent," he said angrily.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah.... hey, I really have to pee!"

"What?"

"You know, relieve myself."

He rolled his eyes. "Come." he said simply.

I got up, and the ropes fell away from me. I grinned evilly. He looked shocked.

"A little gift from the Lady of Light," Lizzie answered for me.

"I seriously gotta go," I said desperately trying not to pee my pants.

"You can wait," he said stubbornly.

"Oh my Gawd!!!! Heck no, I can't!" I cried. "Lle naa vanima???" (You are beautiful)

He looked at me as if I had grown another head.

"Oh come the heck on!" I said, doing the pee pee dance.

He rolled his eyes and slung me over his shoulder, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" I sing-songed to Lizzie as Haldir took me down from the tree.

We landed on the forest floor and Haldir pointed to a nearby tree where I could "do my business," as he so blandly put it. I ran to the tree and "did my business." Jesus, Mary and Joseph...sweet relief! Luckily I had a tissue in my pocket so I didn't have to be disgusting. Heh. I didn't want to go back quite yet, so I went to another tree and sat down and took my cigarettes out of my pocket. Suddenly it hit me as I lit my cigarette; I was never going home again. Who would feed Smeagol the cat? What about mid- terms? What about work? *gasp!* What about the new Friends? Oh my God...so the next thing I did is what any normal young woman would do given the circumstances...I cried.

Haldir POV
By Eru she was taking forever, this Isilwen. I highly doubted it was her real name. As I was pondering her and her equally strange friend, I smelled it. The vile smoke she had created earlier. I went over to investigate, not caring whether she was decent or not. I stopped short when I saw her. The moonlight filtered through the leaves giving her a glow. The vile smoke came from her right hand, her left was covering her eyes...and she was crying! Oh no! It took a five minute conscience struggle before I approached her.

"What's the matter with you?" I asked in a businesslike tone.

"What's it to you? No, no, wait I know! Be silent!" she answered crudely, mocking me.

I suppressed a biting comment, "You're crying," I said, matter-of- factly.

"Uh...yeah! Way to go! You're a bright one!"

"Why?" I pressed, growing more irritated.

"I can never go home again."

I didn't know what to say, and for a moment I felt sorry for her....a little bit.

"We're going back now," I said.

She rolled her eyes and blew smoke in my face. "Fine, whatever, let's go."

By the time we had returned, my brother Orophin told me that the Lady Galadriel wanted us to come home now, and with the two young women. How she knew everything was still a mystery to me and I had been in her service for over two thousand years.

I approached the two, "Well Isilwen and Celemir, get your things together. We're taking you to Caras Galadhon."

Lizzie POV

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Heather said to me as Haldir carried her away.

I laughed because I knew that Heather probably loved the position that she was in.

"Such as?" I said to thin air... that was filled with the hot elf from before. I turned my head sideways while I stared at him. He oddly reminded me of Haldir.

"Master Elf, come here." He came over and sat down.

"What is your name." I said.

"Rumil, my lady. I am Haldir's brother."

"Well, I'm impressed. You seem much nicer than him. Why is he like that anyway?" I waited to hear some answer like "been like that a lot" or "bad childhood".

"Oh that? Heh... Orophin and I put tacks in his bed before we found Lady Isilwen and you, Lady Celemir."

Haldir came back up the tree. Orophin informed him that Galadriel wanted to see us.
Heather sat down next to me with a cigarette in her hand. I grabbed it and put it out with a glare.

"What?" she asked innocently, shrugging as if she were a complete angel. Yeah right.

"Well Isilwen and Celemir, get your things together. We're taking you to Caras Galadhon."

"Whoopdeedoo." I said. "What things?"

Heather POV
"Whoopdeedoo," said Lizzie, "what things?"

I picked up my bag happily and whispered to my friend, "He has got the muscles of a god!"
We giggled and then I realized something. It was nighttime, I had wanted a bed so I could sleep.

"Oh Haldir!!!" I said in my usual annoying singsong.

He turned to me, a bored _expression on his face. "What?" he asked rather impatiently.

"Uh, dude, it's nighttime...that means Heather go nite nite."

"Heather?"
Uh oh. Busted. Shoot! I thought fast....I began to freak out.

Then I stopped and smiled. "Heather is the girl who lives in my head."

He rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, nighttime, bed, sleep, me, Celemir, you get bed, we sleep, comprende gringo?"

He growled at me... oooh nice kitty...mrrrowww.

"Fine, but we leave at first light."

"Whatever dude," I said, "You got a blanket or something? It's kinda drafty up here. Oh and uh, one for my friend too! Yeah, like now please. "

Haldir, Rumil, and Orophin gave us their cloaks before doing their weird trance sleep thingy. Lizzie and I made ourselves comfortable, using my bag for a pillow. I looked at her and wrapped myself in Haldir's cloak. It smelled like leather, outside, and yummy Haldir.

"Nightie night, don't let the bed bugs bite!" I exclaimed happily before rolling over and crying myself to sleep.
