Part 6
4 depressing hours later (a few blood curdling screams from the direction where Galadriel and Legolas disappeared) everyone had managed to pull themselves together (just about with 1 or 2 exceptions) and were now stuffing their faces full of lembas, except Gimli who was too worried about Legolas to eat (the hobbits made sure nothing went to waste).
The sound of a throat being cleared was heard behind them, they all winced, they knew that voice and they weren't ready to be mentally abused just at that moment.
They all turned round to see Medusa...........I mean Galadriel (A/N: Have you guessed that I don't like her very much? ) standing in the doorway.
"I've got someone to show you guys," she said cheerfully. She reached to the side, grabbed something and pulled.
Legolas came stumbling out. He was wearing a silver ceremonial robe, which seemed to float around him. His hip length hair was washed and shining and was braided back showing his delicately pointed ears. He seemed to shine even brighter than Galadriel, who was trying not to look jealous.
Everyone gasped in awe at the picture of beauty before them. Legolas gave them all a small, shy smile.
"Wow," blundered out Pippin, "I've forgotten what you looked like as an adult."
The elf just gave a quiet chuckle, looking fondly at the young hobbit, who had a Lemba sticking out of his mouth.
"Cleaned up pretty good didn't he," said Galadriel smugly.
"You're going to have to tell me what happened because I can't remember," Legolas said apologetically.
"So you don't remember that Gim.....," started Pippin before the dwarf clapped his hand over his mouth, stopping him from finishing the sentence.
"Did what?" Asked Legolas, narrowing his eyes at Pippin and Gimli.
"Nothing elf," Gimli replied hurriedly.
Said elf glared suspiciously at him for a moment, he was about to ask more when Haldir came out of nowhere and hugged him, "Legs, I see you're back to normal."
"Hi, Hal. How've you been?" Replied Legolas, ignoring Gimli all together.
"Fine, fine, do you want to go for a walk and catch up?" The tall elf asked, putting his arm around Legolas' shoulders.
"Sure"
They walked off into the trees, Gimli watched them and tried to control his jealousy. The rest of the fellowship exchanged knowing looks over his head (those who were tall enough at least).
Flashback
Galadriel carried a still struggling Legolas in her arms, "what do you think I'll do to you? Why all the struggling, is there something on my face?"
After calming Legolas down (which involved a quite amusing sock puppet show) she got Rumil and Orophin to each take hold of Legolas' legs and arms.
"Ok, stretch him"
"What?!" They both gaped at her in shock.
"Don't question your queen!!!!!!!!"
"But that's child abuse and it won't work," argued Rumil, his brother nodded in agreement.
"Fine, onto my next idea," Legolas by this time was looking quite......well.....terrified.
"Hang him upside down"
"My dear, I don't think that will work other than making him pass out," reasoned Celeborn, feeling sorry for the poor child.
Galadriel looked a bit miffed at her ideas all being put down, "Fine.......how about stilts?"
Celeborn shook his head, "too heavy."
End flashback
Legolas looked at the fellowship, who were all cringing in sympathy. He seemed quite reluctant to continue, he started twisting a lock of his hair. (A/N: You may be wondering why he can remember this but nothing before that.....well...I can't be assed to come up with a reason so deal with it)
"Well elf spit it out, what did she do next?" Shouted Gimli, unable to take the silence anymore and trying to cover his anger at the bitch....I mean witch (A/N: Witches are good ) for doing these things to his elf 'my elf? When the hell did he become my elf?'
Legolas, who visibly wiltered at the anger coming off of the dwarf, carried on while fiddling with something through the material of his robe. (A/N: It's not something dirty if that's what you're thinking)
"She tried watering me but then she remembered that it only works with plants"
Continue flashback
Galadriel threw the watering can at Orophin, turned round, tripping over a huge book and landed sprawled on the floor in a very un-lady like position.
"What the hell?" She bellowed picking up the book, glancing at the title then threw it to the side, "Wait a cotton picking minute," she picked it up again the title read 'Counter spells for age charms' Inside the cover was a Harry Potter sticker, which read 'Property of Saruman the (crossed out: White) Many pwetty colours'
"Whoops, forgot to give this back," she said before it finally sank into her tiny bimbo brain (A/N: No offence to blondes, some of my best friends are bim...I mean blondes), "Oooohhhhhhh I get it," Legolas looked relieved, "you can stand on it!"
Legolas gave her a look, which screamed 'you got to be kidding, right?'
"What?" She wined; Celeborn whispered something in her ear.
"Ohhhhh, use one of the spells, thanks honey," she gave him a kiss on the cheek and patted him on the head.
"GFCCJGVGYGBTDYFYBYIMFUFUYFFVUGRUFFEVILHGFVFBFHBHGYDGFHGALADRIELGUGUGUYGJBG" (A/N: This may look like just random letters I typed up and to tell the truth most of it is, but there is a hidden message, which will test your endurance to the very brink.......if not don't worry about it, it's shit anyway)
There was a pop, a load of fake smoke affects and Legolas was.........a pink and green spotted pantomime horse.
"That can't be right," she muttered, looking at the spell again, "ok, let me try again"
It took several tries, which turned Legolas into a hobbit, a whale, a DWARF and a Chinese ceremonial dragon, but in the end he was an adult elf again (A/N: YAY!!!!)
Legolas' voice over: Um guys? Are you listening?
End flashback
"Yay, I'm a shit head (A/N: I love that game)," shouted Frodo.
"Huh?" Legolas was looked round to find the rest of the fellowship (excluding Gimli) were playing cards.
"You haven't been listening to word I've been saying, have you?"
"That's nice," mumbled Aragorn, looking at his cards (he was losing).
The fair elf sighed, held up his arms in defeat and went to have a bath. Nobody noticed except Gimli, who went to follow him, but a big Monty Python foot appeared and trod on him.
"Don't even think about it buster!!!" Boomed the all knowing, all seeing, all thinking, all........well you get the point, author.
An hour later Legolas came back, wearing only a long shirt, showing his smooth flawless skin and shapely legs (A/N: Slaps self DOWN GIRL!!).......well the temperature certainly went up to say the least. Until he put on a clean robe (DAMN).
Gimli was still staring dumbly at Legolas, his mouth gaping like a fish out of water until Pippin closed it.
"You're beginning to drool," he whispered, of course Legolas heard this, but gave no indication except a slight smile.
Gimli mumbled about going for a walk and rushed off, Legolas watched him leave from under his long eyelashes and looked as if to follow him before thinking better of it.
The next day Legolas and Gimli were walking through the woods, seeing the sights of Lothlorien.
"Have you started to remember anything from when you were a baby yet, Legolas?"
"Well......I remember....uh...something, but I'm not quite sure what it is yet," the elf replied uncertainly, he looked away and so missed the look of sadness that passed over Gimli's face
"Maybe if you tell me something, it might jog my memory," suggested Legolas
"Ummm...........well.......uh," stuttered the dwarf
Legolas laughed lightly before jesting, "I knew that dwarves have an awful memory, but surly you can remember something"
"Uh.....chicken wings?"
"Huh?" The blonde elf stared down at the dwarf bewildered
"Nevermind," Gimli mumbled 'oh smooth move Gimli' he berated himself mentally.
"I remember being warm," Legolas mumbled with a far away look in his eyes, he fiddled with something hanging round his neck.
"Oh that reminds me," he said, snapping out of his daydream, "do you know where I got this from?" He asked, motioning to the amulet hanging over his heart.
"No idea," lied Gimli
"Oh," he looked slightly disappointed, seeing this Gimli started, "Well maybe I do recognise it from somewhahhhrrrrggggg," at that moment Haldir had dropped by (literally) right on top of Gimli.
"HALDIR?!" Cried Legolas, pulling Haldir off of the dwarf, then helped a stunned Gimli to his feet, before turning on the sheepish elf behind him.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!" He raged, 'Why do I feel so angry?' He thought before looking to his fellow elf for an answer.
Haldir tried to act innocent, "um.....must have slipped.......from the tree, which just happened to be above the dwarf, what a funny coincidence ha ha ha," he laughed weakly.
"And what pray tell were you doing up there, Hal?" Legolas asked, looking like he was scolding a little child, who had put mud on his pillow. (A/N: I DIDN'T DO IT!! Really smiles innocently)
"Looking at the view"
"But there's only trees for miles around"
"Ah but my dear little greenleaf, you've forgot the leaves and bark........and....um....other interesting tree stuff" (A/N: What's that deafening noise? Oh yeah it's you digging yourself in deeper, Hal-chan)
"And of course the most beautiful view of all is you," he added quickly, handing a blushing Legolas a rose (A/N: Nice save. Kurama: He nicked my rose! M-C: Well you're lover stole all the ice cream and get out of this fic!)
Gimli got a lovesick puppy face and tried frantically to think of something to do. 'How can I compete with an elf like Haldir?' He thought forlornly. 'Come on think of something.....anything just do it!' And so thinking, he rammed the handle of his axe into his....um.....tender area, he groaned in pain, 'that's NOT what I had in mind,' and collapsed.
