Authors note: Hi everyone! This was my first story, but it was so badly written that I just had to re-write it. The only thing I changed from the original story is the girl is 16, not 18. Ill be posting soon, not like before. So, enjoy I guess.

My Unexpected Vacation

Chapter one

the sun danced through my window as I slowly started getting up.

It was 8:00 am, Saturday. I sighed. Why did I set my alarm when I could have slept in?

Sighing again, I stretched and walked into the kitchen to get some coffee. All of a sudden I was filled with joy. How could I have forgotten?

My parents finally decided I could handle the house for 7 days while they went on their second honeymoon. I still couldn't believe they decided to let a 16 year old have the house for a week!

But then again, there wasn't much I could do wrong. I didn't have a boy friend, and they had told the neighbors to watch and make sure I didn't have a party, and I knew how to cook so I wasn't going to burn the house down. So basically that meant no fun at all.

Bummer. I reached for the coffee maker when I saw that there was no coffee. I couldn't believe I remembered to set my alarm and I DIDN'T make coffee! How was I going to live for a week alone??

I started looking through the cupboard for instant coffee. Finally when I didn't find any I got a glass, filled it with ice and went to the sink for water. The thing I've always liked about our kitchen is that the sink its right under a window so I wasn't completely bored when I washed dishes. (random comment).

While I turned on the water and put my glass under it I looked up.

I screamed. What IS that guy doing in the back yard?

"Oh my word, I think he's sleeping! O...k." I ran back to my bedroom (leaving the water running) to get my glasses. "WHAT DID I DO WITH MY GLASSES LAST NIGHT???"

finally I found them. I ran into the kitchen, turned of the water, grabbed my purple fluffy robe and went out the back door. In my bare feet I walked slowly up to the man.

The closer I got the more I realized it was a very cute guy. With kind weird clothes on too. I just stood there, staring at him, to shocked to do anything. I mean, what was I supposed to do? Finally my cell phone rang and broke the silence. I must have left it in my robe the night before.

"Hello?"

"Tami?"

"Yes?"

"Hi, this is Lissy."

It was my sister. "Hi Lissy! I have something weird to tell you."

"Not as weird as this" she said.

"Uh...ok...what's up?"

"Tami. Do I sound drunk?"

"Uh...noo...why?"

"Merry is here, In my living room, staring out the window, and Pippin is looking at me...do I sound like I'm dreaming?"

"Wow, that's weird...uh...HOW did this happen?" I wanted to scream. Why did my sister get Merry and Pippin? I loved those guys.

"I don't... I can't explain right now. Hold on, I need some coffee. Ill put you on speaker phone k?"

"Ok."

The guy rolled over.

"Oh please don't wake up" I thought.

"Tami, you there?"

"Yah"

"Good. Uh...what do we do now?"

"Well...let me tell you what's going on here."

"Ok."

I told here about the guy in front of me. "hay, wouldn't it be weird if that guy was legolas?"

I was dumbfounded. "You know, he probably is. He's cute and everything, and he is wearing clothes that could be worn by an elf."

"'ay, that box is talking'!" I heard a hobbit like voice say.

"Oh...uh...hi Pippin!" I said.

"What do you think we should Do T?"

That's the nickname she gave me when we where younger.

" I don't know Lissy."

"Maybe you should wake Legolas up and I'll talk to Merry and Pip and try to tell them what I think is going on."

"Sure...ok...Ill call you in a while. Bye"

"Bye T."

We hung up. I quickly ran my fingers through my wavy brown hair until I thought it looked a little better. Finally I thought I was ready. Why am I dressing up for an elf?? I thought. But then again I wasn't dressing up; I was just trying to look a little nicer. I had just woken up, after all.

I bent down. What was I supposed to do? I was right where I was a minute ago.

"Oh well, might as well wake him up, even thought I don't know what Ill do then."

I said to myself. I softly shook him.

"Wake up, please wake up." I said. Finally he started opening his eyes. All of a sudden he grabbed for his bow and an arrow and in two seconds it was pointed right at me.

"Hay! What...stop pointing that at me!" I yelled, worried I was about to get an arrow in my head. Then he said something in what sounded like what I thought was elfish. Oh why did I want to wait till summer too learn elvish? Finally he lowered it a little but kept it so he could shot if he needed to.

"Where am I?" he said, now in English. I thought Orlando bloom did a great job of playing the elf, but I had no idea how wonderfully hot he really was. He kind of glowed, but in such a beautiful way, if that doesnt sound to perverded.

"Why do you stare so? Have you never seen an elf before?" he said to me. I realized my mouth was wide open. I closed it quickly.

"No, actually, I've never seen an elf before in my life."

He looked startled.

"Where am I that these people don't even know what I am?" I gathered he was talking to himself.

"You are in Charlotte,North Carolina"

he looked like I had just talked in a different language. Maybe he still didn't understand me.

"I have never herd of it before" he said.

"Yes, I think that's because you're not in middle earth anymore."

I tried to make it sound as casual as I could.

"...Not in middle earth? But how can this be?"

"You know, I haven't a clue either. But my friend Lisa might now. I was talking to her and it seems she found Merry and pippin the same way I found you."

"Where is she?"

"Uh...in a different state"

he looked puzzled again.

"Hay, why don't you come in for some uh...tea."

"Tea..?"

"Uh...or...uh...what do you usually drink?"

"Water"

"Oh...well. I have that too." I got up and he did the same while he put his bow and arrow away.

"Where do you live?"

"Right here. This is my house. Or, at least for the week."

he looked non- understanding again. I sighed. This was going to be a long day.
