Chapter Fifty-one: Happy chapter!
Disc: wheeee
A/N: Okay..It's kinda late and so I'm a little slap happy. Sorry I haven't updated in about a week, but like I've said school is hardthis year so I'm probably only going to be able to update on weekends..if that. Sorry, blame it on my teachers or something. They're evil..okay so not all of them are evil P .
Tricia was near the front of the group as they neared Isenguard, eager to see both her friends again. She really wantedto tell Holly about the quarrel that Harding and Legolas had gotten into earlier. Harding had offered to stand guard whileTricia went into the woods to change but Legolas had sternly told him that she would be fine and that it would be very ungentlemen like of him to go with her. Personally, Tricia was glad that Legolas had made Harding stay with the group while she changed. The Rohan warrior was becoming a stalker to her and she wished that she could find a way to reject him without hurting him.
Legolas had thwarted his plan to see Tricia alone once again. This time he had planned to advance upon the girl, completely confident that she would not reject him. Harding guessed that the Elf had picked up on his intentions and as jealous. Jealous that Tricia might perfer one of her own kind who showed he cared instead of a cold and distant Elf. He would have Tricia, one way or another.
"Tricia.please be careful. His intentions are not pure and I fear for your well being. Please, stay close to Holly and Rachel.they'll protect you and that worm shan't try anything as long as you are in their company." Legolas sent both worried and pleading glances at the girl as they rode. He had been able to protect her that morning, but he could not be there all the time..even though he wished he could.
"Is something wrong Legolas?" Gimli asked from behind the elf. Legolas shook his head and tried to remain stoic despite his worry.
"No Gimli, nothing is wrong." A lie that even the dwarf could detect.the elves might have been a very stoic race but they were not good liars. Especially (as Gimli feared) if they were in love. Yes..Ginli and Legolas' other companions had feared for some time that their friend had fallen for the young human girl, and that it might be his downfall. They did not wish to deprive him of his feelings but they feared that he would be hurt and an elf with a broken heart was not a pretty sight.

"Ha! Got ya!" Merry laughed as he tackled Holly to the ground and began to tickle her. She giggled and struggled but it was all in vain. The two lovers frolicked (hehehe..a happy sappy word!) on the grounds of Isenguard. They had been playing a childish game of hide and seek while Rachel and Pippin kept watch at the gates. The hobbit finally ceased his pleasurable tourture and fell to the ground next to Holly, who was still gasping for breth and laughing a bit.
"Meanie!" She teased as she hit him playfully on the arm. He laughed, grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to him. They kissed briefly then lay in the grass starring into each other's eyes lovingly. "Merry.."
"Hmm?"
"Do you think that your family will like me?" The girl bit her lip and sent him a pleading look.
Merry smiled and kissed her once more, "I think they'll love you. You're so much like a Hobbit anyways. And if they don't like you we can run away together and live in Gondor..I'm sure Aragorn would love to have us as his personal guards!" they both laughed.
~~
They had relieved their friends of the watch earlier that morning so that they could eat and bathe. Now Rachel and Pip's friends were off on the grounds somewhere playing silly games like lovers so often do. Pippin and Rae on the other hand were quite content to just sit at the gates and eat a small picnic that they had packed that morning. Pippin was now looking rather sleepy and Rachel laughed as he but his head in her lap and drifted off to sleep. The girl didn't feel resentful though, she found it rather relaxing and leaned against a pillar. Running her fingers through the young hobbit's hair and twirling the curly locks with content amusement. Off in the distance she heard Holly laughing, she wondered if perhaps they would have been better off not having ever fallen in love with these two hobbits. So that they would never have to deal with the pain of maybe having to leave those who they loved so much. But the soft strands of hair that slid through her fingers made her forget her worries. She knew that she might have to leave Pippin..but she wuld enjoy the time that they had together and make the most of it for the both of them.
~~
"Hey..do you hear that?" Holly sat up and looked from the hill onto the road leading from the woods. She saw a fairly large army heading towards the gates. "They're here!" The teenager sprang to her feet and ran towards the gates, not bothering to wait for Merry.
"Wait a minute! Holly!" Merry whined as he quckly followed after her.
It was hard for Tricia not to make her horse go faster and reach the gates sooner, but she knew that she shouldn't pass King Theoden out of respect. He should be the first and she would be right behind him, ready to leave her horse and hug her friends, especially Rachel. They drew closer to the gates and Tricia could see Rachel leaning against a pillar with Pippin asleep with his head in her lap.
"Wake up!" Rachel cried as she shook the sleeping hobbit.
"Whu? What's wrong?" Then he saw the army that approched them. He faced them and made sure to adress King Theoden with as much politeness as he could muster. Not bothering to first gladly welcome his friends, who looked somewhat shocked that he hadn't. After both Pippin and Rachle bowed to the king, Tricia leapt off her horse and hugged Rachel, almost knocking her to the gorund. They laughed and Tricia had to hold back the tears of joy.
"Hey! Aren't you glad to see me? I did save your life." Tricia turned and smiled at the ever cocky Holly, who was smiling at her two friends a few feet away. Tricia flung her arms around Holly then pushed her slightly after letting go. "What was that for!?"
"For almost getting me killed, then saving my life." The brunette mocked with a smile. The two girls laughed, then Holly had to apologize to Boromir for worrying him so much. He just smiled and shook his head, giving a knowing smirk as Merry walked up beside her and took her hand in his. Gandalf went to introduce Theoden to Treebeard while the rest of the fellowship went into a hut to catch up. Laughing and smiling the whole time, even Legolas could not hide the pleasure seeing the two hobbits again brought him.
A/N: Okay..Holly go sleep sleep now * passes out * .
