A/N: I updated, GO ME!!!!!! And its more than double the length of last time even without the lyrics. Thanks for all your wonderful reviews, you all get chocolate!!! D On with the story...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That evening all of the council, as well as some of the Elves that lived in Rivendell, returned to the spot where the Council was held, except now there was a little stage set up with a small band and couple of microphones, as well as a refreshments table and what looked like a judges table with 3 chairs, each with a microphone, notebook and pen in front of them.

When the contest was due to start Glorfindel got up on stage. When she saw Glorfindel up on stage she yelled "What are you doing up there? You're not performing" "No, I'm not performing. I get a more important job, I'm the COMPARE" at that he did the mature thing, and poked his tongue out. Arwen pouted and turned her father, "But Ada (Daddy), I wanna be the compare!" she whined. "Arwen, sweetie, you are already a judge. You can't have everything, you know." Elrond stated quietly. "Why not?" pouted Arwen. "One, because if you had everything then everyone else would have nothing. Two, because you are making a show of yourself and everyone is going to think you are a spoilt brat." Elrond finished without realising how loudly he was speaking. "But that's the truth" muttered Glorfindel, without realising how close his mouth was to the microphone. Elrond glared at him. Arwen stalked off eyes filled with tears from not getting what she wanted and being told off. No one EVER told her off. He would pay...

Elrond sighed. His only daughter was angry and probably a bit embarrassed, though she wasn't helping the cause, and she held grudges for a long time. Also they were now short a judge. Or not... Arwen was heading back towards the table. "I decided you would need expertise and people with taste to judge so I decided that I was needed" she announced snootily. At this Glorfindel burst out laughing, which he hastily turned into a cough when he saw Elronds' glare.

Once Glorfindel had finished 'coughing' Elrond stood up and made his way to the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight shall go down in history, as the night that the fellowship theme was decided. Now let the contest begin!" he finished grandly. After he finished Glorfindel took the microphone back and announced, "Our first suggestion and singer is (the drummer in the band did a drumroll) FRODO!!!"

Frodo took to the stage amid loud applause, especially from the other hobbits, and said prouldly into the microphone, "I'm doing Innocent Eyes because I have cool eyes and also being the ringbearer and all, I'm the most important member of the fellowship." "And not at all bigheaded" muttered Arwen, forgetting the microphone (A/N: these elves aren't bright are they?). Frodo heard this, of course, and for a moment looked like he was going to stalk off stage, crying, when Bilbo, the third judge, comforted him "Never mind her lad, she's just having a bad hair day." Frodo just nodded and decided to continue. He began to sing 'Innocent Eyes':

Do you remember when you where 7?
And the only thing that you wanted to do
Was show your mum that you could play the piano
Ten years have passed
And the one thing that lasts
Is that same old song that we played along and made my mama cry

I miss those days and I miss those ways
When I got lost in fantasies
In a cartoon land of mysteries
In a place you won't grow old in a place you won't feel cold and I'll sing

Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Seems I'm lost in my reflection
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Find a star for my direction
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
For the little girl inside who won't just hide
Don't let me see mistakes and lies
Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes
My innocent eyes

Do you remember when you were 15?
And the kids at school called you a fool cos you took the chance to dream
In the time that's past and the one thing that lasts
Is that same old song that we played along and made my daddy cry

I miss those days and I miss those ways
When I got lost in fantasies
In a cartoon land of mysteries
In a place you won't grow old in a place you wont feel cold and I'll sing

Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Seems I'm lost in my reflection
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Find a star for my direction
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
For the little girl inside who wont just hide
Don't let me see mistakes and lies
Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes
My innocent eyes

Under my feeling under my skin
Under the thoughts from within
Learning the subtext
Of the mind
See creation how where defined

When he finished he added "This song will also be good because it reminds of things from the past, memories to hold on to". After that he left the stage and sat back down, while the judges made notes.
