A/N: Scared.I told a guy I liked him today and I dunno what he thinks. He was in total shock. So tomorrow will be interesting.
Aragorn sighed and hoped that they were still asleep. He knocked on the girls' door. "Holly? Rachel, Tricia?" He asked. No reply, he opened the door and found quite and odd scene. Tricia was lying on the edge of the bed. Rachel was spread out on it too. Holly, however, was lying upside down in a chair in the corner. He walked over to the edge of the bed and shook Tricia. "My lady, it's time to wake up." He said. Tricia groaned then turned over but still didn't wake up. He sighed and tried Rachel. She got up and looked at him.
"Okay, I'm up." She said.
"Now, what about them?" The man asked. Rachel picked up a pillow and smacked Tricia over the head with it. The older girl jumped up and cried out.
"Is...that normal?" Aragorn asked as he looked at the girl in the chair. Rachel and Tricia looked at their sleeping friend then looked at Aragorn.
"Yeah. She's a weird sleeper." Rachel said. Just as soon as she finished her sentence Merry and Pippin came tumbling into the room. They looked around then stopped at Holly.
"Is she okay?" Pippin asked. Merry walked over and bent over so he could look the girl in the face when she woke up. Suddenly Holly smiled and opened her eyes.
"Boo!" She said. Merry fell backwards onto his butt. Holly giggled and turned so that she was right side up.
"Galadriel wants to talk to us before we leave. We'll be waiting." Aragorn said as he helped Merry up then ushered the, out of the room. The three friends looked at each other then broke out giggling.
They were taken aside from the group of men. They waited with Haldir as Galadriel gave her gifts to the fellowship. She sent them to wait by the boats then approached the girls.
"Your tasks shall be challenging and heart wearing. Do not loose hope. Your world has never prepared you for such tasks that lay ahead. Take armor to protect you and cloaks to hide you from danger. Holly, your sword will not last against the blades of evil. Take this, it looks heavy but is light. May it serve you well in time of need, and take this dagger. It is hidden easily and will help you in time of great need. To you, Tricia, I also give daggers. For they are your skill and will keep you and those you care for safe. Then to Rachel and you both do I give bows and arrows. Aim true and fight hard. Let the blessing of the elves of Lorien be with you." The fair elf said to the girls. The gifts were laid before them and they stared at them in wonder.
"Whoa..I mean, thank you. Thank you a thousand times! These are more.than we deserve." Tricia said. The other girls nodded and then all three of them bowed.
"You may go change. Haldir will show you to the river when you are ready." Galadriel said as she left the girls. The three friends ran to the room and changed. There was light chain mail that fit perfectly. Then the armor was silver with undershirts and silver leggings. Holly's undershirt was blood red, Tricia's dark blue, and Rachel's was pine tree green. There were also silver boots that shone in the sun. They looked at each other and smiled.
"This is so cool! I really think that this was a bit much to give us. We're gonna fit right in though." Holly stated. They laughed and put on their cloaks. Haldir led them to the boats where the rest of the group was waiting. They stared at the three girls. They looked totally shocked.
"You look very nice." Merry said to Holly. She blushed and smiled at him.
"Thanks. Well, I guess that extra boat is for us. I'll row." The blonde stated. The men looked at her in surprise.
"You know how to handle a boat my lady?" Boromir asked.
"Of course, well, my father takes.took, my sister and I camping during the summer and we go rowing down this one river. I usually help my dad but I'm fit to handle one on my own." The girl replied.
"I'll ride with you! If you get tired then I can also handle a boat." Merry stated. Holly smiled and nodded. The blonde, Tricia, and Merry got into one boat. Aragorn, Frodo, and Sam in another, Boromir, Rachel, and Pippin shared a boat. Then Legolas and Gimli were in the last boat.
"Let's head out, stick close together and don't strain yourself." Aragorn called out. They pushed the boats out and left the elf haven. The three girls sighed and felt sad to be leaving such a peaceful place, and heading straight into a long and painful trip. Holly looked at Boromir and sighed. Her mind screamed at her to save him yet she felt conflicted.it was his destiny. and if she changed it then she or someone else would take his place. She looked at Merry and felt a great twinge of pain. He looked back at her smiling but stopped when he saw the look upon her face.
"Are you okay Holly?" He asked.
"Yeah..I'm fine Merry." She replied with a small smile. She rowed and kept thinking. Was it possible that she was...in love with Merry? She glanced at the Hobbit and smiled.she did love him, and she would do anything she could to protect him.
