A/N: One of my first attempts at a LotR fanfic. No flames please.
It was yet another standard Halloween. Except this time, I actually had people over. I was wearing my Jedi Knight costume and working at the computer while listening to my Renaissance CD while Megan and Renelda were busy in the other room setting up the DVD player. Megan decided to bring all of the Lord of the Rings Extended Editions over so we could watch all of them straight through. Good thing it was about 4:00 in the afternoon. We'd need all the time we could get with those things.
Almost got it, Renelda called from the other room. By the way, your basement looks really good!
It better! I called back.
Wasn't it unavailable last year? Megan asked.
Yea... looked utterly like crap, I answered with a chuckle to myself. I skipped to another song on my CD that sounded extremely elvish. I started pretending to pluck strings to go along with the harp or whatever stringed instrument was being used for that particular song.
Okay, it's in! Movie party will now commence! Megan yelled happily. I turned off my CD and put the computer to sleep, but for some reason I thought I heard someone whisper behind me. I blinked and quickly shook it off. I went into the other room and plopped onto my pillow on the floor.
Good evening, master Kenobi, Renelda snickered with a mock bow. I just stared at her and whipped out my lightsaber.
You want to go home and rethink your life, I teased.
I want to go home and rethink my life, she replied in a fake hypnotised voice.
Megan laughed and put in Fellowship first.
OH YAY! I cheered. We get to see Aragorn smack Gimli for snoring during Gandalf's lament!
Renelda laughed and doubled over on the couch while Megan shook her head and muttered, Oy... dwarves. Suddenly the doorbell rang.
AH! Linsey's here, I said, and I quickly ran upstairs to get the door. Linsey stood in the doorway in her Sally costume with backpack and sleeping bag in hand.
Did I miss anything? she asked.
Nope, we just put in Fellowship, I answered as I led her downstairs. Again, I heard someone whisper, but I just thought it was Linsey this time.
Linsey, everybody, I announced. Renelda waved as Megan curtsied while doing the elvish greeting gesture. Linsey waved back and dropped her stuff on the floor. I went over to turn out the lights, and the movie fest began.
We didn't get as far as the middle of The Two Towers before we all fell asleep. I woke up suddenly with a dry mouth. Ugh,' I thought wearily, water... need water...' So I went upstairs to get some water. When I came back down, I noticed that the light in the computer room was still on, so I went to turn it off, but I screamed at what I saw in the room. Renelda and Megan were jolted awake and ran into the room to see what was wrong. Good thing my parents were staying at my grandparents' house that night. (A.N.: Ah the joys of fiction. THAT NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!)
You okay? Renelda asked me. I nodded and pointed a shaky finger inside the room. At my computer were two elves! Both were girls, so I'd never seen them before. Megan's mouth fell open while Renelda rubbed her eyes. I threw the door open and stared. The two elves looked up at us and blinked.
Mae govannen, one of them greeted with a smile. At that point I felt my legs give out, so I fell over.
Oh my God! Megan cried at the blonde she-elf. You're Uruviel!
The elf smiled at her and nodded. At that moment a very sleepy Linsey joined us.
What's all the... OH HOLY CRAP! she exclaimed as she saw the two elves. She slumped down next to me. Also at the moment three other elves appeared out of nowhere behind the other two. This time they were boys, and I recognized these three.
Uruviel looked up at the one who was most familiar.
Legolas, Orophin, Rumil, what are you doing here? she asked. Megan and I sighed in unison at Legolas while Linsey and Renelda just stared very happily.
Haldir was wondering what was taking so long, Orophin answered her. Uruviel sighed.
They only just woke up. The girl in the maroon shirt screamed them awake, she said, nodding at me. I quickly went a deep red and hid my face.
Ah, so that's what made that godawful noise, Rumil muttered.
Megan decided to say something to break the awkward moment.
Why in the hell would Haldir be wondering about us?
Legolas looked at her.
Not so much all of you, but you two alone, he said, pointing at me and Megan.
We looked at each other and simultaneously asked, With us?
Legolas nodded. We were sent by Haldir who was given a message by Galadriel who wishes to talk to you two.
Then why didn't one of them come? Megan asked, but Legolas just shook his head with a smile.
Linsey blinked and finally asked, So, if Galadriel wants to see them, what about me and Renelda?
Uruviel fumbled around the computer desk and found a piece of parchment.
You were requested to see to the Shire, she said, putting the parchment away. Linsey's eyes bulged and she went bonkers.
YAY! MY LITTLE HOBBITS! While she danced around like a goof, Uruviel approached me and Megan.
You are to come with me, she said, as she prepared to lead us out of the room.
Wait, what about me? Renelda asked. Legolas approached her.
You are to go to Rohan. I'll be taking you, he told her.
The other she-elf lead a giddy Linsey out of the room and vanished with her. Uruviel steered me and Megan out after them, and Legolas and Renelda followed us.
