Disclaimer: I do not own anything LOTR related. I only own Rin, her family and Steph, well actually Steph owns herself. But you get the point.

Chapter 8

When Rin awoke she felt refreshed and warm. But she was moving, bouncing to be exact. (A/n sounds dirty I know lol) She opened her eyes and shielded them from the bright sunlight. She was on a horse. 'Figures, why else would I feel like a margarita?' I thought to myself. I looked around and saw Legolas and Gimli riding beside me.

Legolas turned his head, noticing I was awake. " She finally arises!" he said and laughed. Then I heard Aragorn ahead. "That's good because we must travel the remainder by foot." I groaned inwardly. " Why?"

Eomer spoke up, " Ithildin, it is much easier and swifter to continue by foot. There are many lakes and rivers, it would be difficult to ride through them and it would cause us much delay." I sighed and grudgingly agreed. We set the horses free and then continued through the thick, damp forest. We came to a river and stopped for a drink. I decided to walk along the shore of the river. I was actually having fun just having something cool on my feet and. "Ah!!!" I screamed as I slipped on a rock and felt flat on my face in the river. I could hear roaring laughter from where everyone was sitting. I stared at them evilly an idea popping up in my mind..revenge.

" Legolas, 'Mer? Could you come and assist me?" I said sweetly. They immediately ran up to me and took both my hands, I looked at them and grinned. They didn't even have time to respond as I tripped them both and they fell into the river. It was now my turn to laugh. And I did just that, as I walked away. " Like I said, KNOBS! ALL OF YOU ARE KNOBS!"

Aragorn and Gimli looked at me strangely. " What might I ask is a knob?" asked Aragorn.

I pointed toward the river. "They are." I said and stormed off. " Bunch of men. God someone hates me up there, I mean hey, their hot but .sheesh! Not very smart are they?" I could hear Aragorn and Gimli laughing as the other two emerged from the river soaping wet.

Rin smiled humorously at the two. They glared at her but she merely stuck her tongue out at them and grinned rather evilly. Aragorn stood, "We should continue on our way, else we shall never make it to Rivendell by sunset."

Rin could have sworn that she heard Legolas mutter, "And your dear Arwen" But she could have been mistaken.

Elmo popped out of nowhere and said "Elmo knows where you live" Laser beams fire out of his eyes and he incinerates a tree. Legolas slowly turns his head to look at the strange creature. Rin has a look of shock upon her face but then she quickly rushes over to the little creature and hugs him tightly.

"I never knew you were real Elmo, you're my fav. Let's do the hokey pokey!"

"Ok!" Elmo agrees and he starts to vibrate and sing, "Put your right foot in, put your foot out, put your right foot in and you shake it all about. Do the hokey pokey as you turn yourself around, that's what it's all about!" Rin and Elmo were dancing to the song. Gimli getting very fed up with Elmo's GAY song suddenly charged him. He swung his axe high and in the next second Elmo had no head. He fell over because of this and then his head asked if you would help him up. Rin burst out laughing at this until she realized that Elmo was dead.

Rin's lower lip trembled as she looked at Elmo, dead at her feet. She started to cry loudly. Suddenly she jumped up a big smile on her face. "Shall we be going?"

Her companions look at her as if she were mad. But all thoughts of the strange creature were pushed far from mind when Rin saw something just to the left of them. She frowned slightly. Suddenly a look of surprise, happiness, and shock crossed her face.

"STEPH!!!" she screamed. The people who had just entered the clearing stood there surprised. One raised her eyebrow at Rin's exclamation. Another elven girl with blond hair and blue eyes mouth hung open with shock.

"RIN!!!" she cried out. They raced toward each other and quickly embraced. They looked at each other in awe. Relieved to have finally found each other.

"You're an elf!" Rin exclaimed in shock. One of the elves in the back raised her eyebrow again at this exclamation.

Steph looked Rin over carefully, "You're hair is longer, and you're thinner, and you look like you've been riding for days as if in Rohan." She observed.

Rin smiled a small and barely noticeable blush crept up her cheeks. She turned and looked at Eomer. "Steph that is Lord Eomer, King of Rohan. My other companions are, Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli." A smile played on Rin's lips because she knew that Steph would know who each of them was without the need to announce their titles.

Steph bowed to them acknowledging them by their proper titles, which shocked them a little. "These are my companions," She pointed to the elves behind her and introduced them, "The Auburn haired is Mariel, and the raven haired is Nefaratoiel. The wolf's name is Willow, the tiger's Silmaneero , and we."

Steph was cut off as a little panther leapt into Rin's arms purring. Rin looked at it in shock before she immediately began to cuddle it. The elf named Nefaratoiel stepped forward and spoke, "The panther has chosen you to care for him, name him and he is yours."

Rin looked at the panther cub it had vibrant emerald green eyes like herself, his fur was darker than black and his claws seemed to absorb the light around them. She smiled softly, "You're name will be Avath the elven word for shadow."

The elves present looked at her in shock, "Lle quena i'lambe tel' Eldalie? " Legolas asked her.

"Not really, but I can understand quite a bit." She smiled slightly, her attention got distracted though.

Her mouth hung open with shock as a nude Eomer walked out of the bushes. They all turned and looked at the new Eomer. The real Eomer blushed redder than an apple "Umm. well this is embarrassing."

Rin smiled evilly and Eomer saw that mischievous twinkle in her eyes and gulped. "Umm.. Naked 'Mer how about you do a few turns slowly and show us ALL the goods." The real Eomer looked like he was about to die. The naked Eomer began to turn slowly showing off ALL and I mean ALL he's got to offer.

Gimli was rolling on the ground. There were tears coming out of his eyes he was laughing so hard. Legolas shook his head and turned away, he was not impressed. Aragorn turned away as well, "We do not need to see our friends like this." He stated quietly.

Steph was smiling evilly. 'WOW! Eomer is HOT!' she thought to herself. Mariel simply looked him over before stating, "I've seen better," which nearly had poor Eomer in tears due to embarrassment.

Rin was on the ground laughing at the real Eomer's expression of horror. She couldn't help herself it was just too funny. "ok naked 'Mer you can stop now"

The naked Eomer stopped and then he gave Rin a suggestive look which made her blush from head to toe, she was redder then the Real Eomer.

Nefaratoiel rolled her eyes at everyone's embarrassment over a naked man amongst them. In one swift and fluid motion she drew a long knife hidden in one of her sleeves, removing the naked Eomer's head. To everyone's surprise the body vanished before it hit the ground.

"Hey! I could of have some fun with that!" Rin exclaimed. She closes her eyes and wishes for another naked Eomer but nothing happens. Rin kicked the ground. Everyone looked at like she had grown two new heads.

"You know you could always ask the real Eomer for a show." Nefaratoiel offered suggestively. Her voice was void of any humor.

The real Eomer who had finally stopped blushing, turned to Nefaratoiel and glared at her. Rin decided to break the tension by saying, "Maybe I'll do just that! But not now. We should get going or we'll never make it to Rivendell."

Nefaratoiel picked up Silmaneero as Mariel picked up Willow. Avath rubbed against Rin's legs. Rin suddenly felt lightheaded. She hadn't realized the harm she was doing to herself as she joked around. She felt no pain but that did not mean she was not hurt. She felt herself falling as two arms wrapped about her and a comforting blackness welcomed her..

***************************************************************** A/N :Well that was different. I really shouldn't write chapters while having a sleep over because crazy things can happen. ELMO!!!! O.O naked Eomer...may need a bathroom break after this. Well I'll be going serious again after this if you want another humorous chapter you have to ask for it and don't forget to review! I need lots of them too, to do another funny chapter. Or if you don't you can just wait till im at *points beside her* house again. yall are not privileged enough for names. Ok im outtie..O.O naked 'Mer. Aiee.. Pleasant dreams all.

I would also like to say this chapter was co-written. That's why its so great lol. We are indeed dumbasses to include Elmo and a naked Eomer in the same chapter.though I quiet enjoyed it.* turns to the person next to her * what do you think? Hokey Pokey!!! We should have made it Eomer who does the hokey pokey! *frowns * geez that ass would have been entertaining. Instead we received a vibrating Elmo :o|
