Authoress Note: Oh! Reviews, now that's what I like to see, thank you ladies! And I want to remind you all that this is a dark comedy and I just can't help but have a little drama in a story. Here the dark drama comedy begins.
Jen: Hmmm, Gimli coming to visit? There's a thought I hadn't thought of. I just might use that since you bothered to drop a review! OH! Idea! I think you will see everyone's favourite little man after all! Can't give away the surprise though!

About an hour later the men and elves were returning to their camp. It was silent, not a bird could be heard.
Aragorn took it upon himself to be the leader of this outfit, and surprisingly Boromir didn't object, "Okay, let's make sure we're all here. Boromir and Faramir?"
"Here." Both answered.
"Eomer?"
"Still breathing."
"Legolas?"
"Yea."
"Elladan and Elrohir?"
"Here."
"That was only one of you. Where's Elladan?" Aragorn noticed the missing twin and everyone looked around them, though the group really wasn't that big to loose anyone, scratch that, they are just that dumb.
"We're missing an elf." Faramir pointed out.
"Is that really such a bad thing?" Boromir asked.
"Hey!" Legolas and Elrohir shouted.
"What? Truth hurts and I'm just telling it like it is." Boromir shrugged.
"Thought that is partially true, I think we should try to find the missing elf." Eomer commented.
"Yes, we should try to find the missing elf!" Elrohir agreed angrily.
"All I'm saying is, the world doesn't need anymore nancy-prancing elves running around and you're twins so since you're still here it's just like having the other one here too." Boromir oh so kindly gave his opinion.
"I'm not going to comment on that statement." Elrohir crossed his arms and held in the barrage of things he wanted to say to Boromir.
"Let's split up and looked. We each go our separate ways and looks for signs." Legolas suggested.
"Whoa there pretty-boy. We'll go in groups and not all get lost." Eomer cut-in.
"Fine. I'll go with Elrohir. Aragorn and Eomer, and Boromir you go with Faramir." Legolas decided for the group, taking over Aragorn's leadership position.
"Fine." The group agreed and split into their prospective groups.
O O O
Legolas and Elrohir headed deep into the woods, looking for clues, where had that elf gone? Was it the man in the black that took him? Would they be able to find him?
"I can't believe we already lost someone." Legolas muttered under his breath.
"What do you mean 'already lost someone?'" Elrohir looked at Legolas.
"Uh, nothing." Legolas said quickly and hurried ahead.
"No, no, no. You are going to explain that. We're elves, you can tell me what that means." Elrohir urged.
"Okay, don't let the others know that I told you this but last time we went camping-"
"Last year right?"
"Yes, last year. There were six of us."
"Wait," Elrohir only counted five men he knew went, "There's Boromir, Faramir, Eomer, Aragorn and you. That's only five."
"There was someone else with us. It was a friend of mine." Legolas let out a deep sigh.
"Another elf?"
"Yes, from Mirkwood."
"Why come I don't know of this?" Elrohir was very confused.
"Because he never came back from the camping trip." Legolas confused.
"What? Why not?" Elrohir was getting angry with all this ambiguous talk.
"Okay, one night there was a big storm and we left our tents because a tree fell in the middle of our camp and we were all so busy trying to save our stuff and move the camp we never noticed that sometime in all that my friend disappeared. We looked for him all the next day but we couldn't even find any sign or trace of what could have happened to him. We haven't seen him since then." Legolas recounted the story.
"What? You just lost an elf somehow?" Elrohir took this all in, "You don't think it was the black thing do you?"
"I don't know. I think that's what we were all thinking though." Legolas nodded his head, he seemed very distraught.
O O O
"Damn elves, we can't ever seem to keep them around very long." Boromir was complaining to his brother, the two were actually getting along for once.
"Yea, last time that elf disappeared in the middle of night, you know, I think the same guy that we saw last night has something to do with the elf disappearances." Faramir sighed.
"I think so too. We shouldn't have let Legolas and Elrohir go off alone, we probably won't ever see them again." Boromir thought of this fact, only a little too late.
"Oh, so you do care about the elves?" Faramir jested.
"Just Legolas, maybe."
"No, I think you really do care about them all."
"Shut-up."
"Yea, I thought so. Aw, that's cute, my older brother cares about the elves." Faramir joked.
"I said be quiet!" Boromir punched his brother in the arm.
"OW! What was that for?!" Faramir grabbed his hurt arm and glared at his brother.
"That's what you get!"
Faramir returned his brother's punch into Boromir's arm.
"Ow, hey! You started it and I finished it! I owe you another one now!""No, you don't!"
"Yes, I do!"
"No, you don't!"
Boromir swung a punch at his brother but Faramir moved out of the way and in doing so back into a tree and smacked his head against a branch.
"Oh, son of an orc, that hurt!" Faramir felt the back of his head were he hit himself.
"Oh, are you okay?" Boromir looked at where the branch hit him, "It looks fine, it's not bleeding or anything." Boromir informed his brother.
"Okay."
The two soon forgot their little spat, as normal, and continued on into the forest.
O O O
"Come here you big scary black thing! Here blacky, blacky, blacky!!" Eomer called into the forest.
"Eomer! What in Eldar's name are you doing?" Aragorn stared at the very strange third marshal.
"Calling the thing, maybe it will come out." Eomer said, duh, doesn't Aragorn know that?
"I don't think that's going to work." Aragorn shook his head.
"And just why not?"
"Because-" Aragorn was about to go on but he was interrupted by something coming out at them from the trees.
"EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Both turned and ran, screaming all the way home.
O O O
Well, there was the beginning of a more sober part of the story. Too much drama? Not enough drama? I don't know, you tell me, you're the readers.
