Disclaimer: Same as the other four chapters, I own nothing but this plot.
Author's Notes: I'm sorry to keep you all waiting for this chapter. Really, I am. But, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, I know I did! Anyways, a really big thank you to everyone who reviewed! I wasn't expecting that many, but I guess life is full of surprises. I will try to make the chapters longer, as long as my creativity keeps up. Please keep reading and keep sending those reviews right on! Oh, speaking of reviews, I got one from an Anonymous reader who doesn't like the thought of a Buffy/Legolas pairing. So I will reply back.
Me: Yes, I have read Dawn/Legolas pairings before, and I wasn't quite impressed with them. I don't see them having anything in common so I won't argue with you over it. But saying that something is wrong with me about writing a Buffy/Legolas pairing, and saying if I continue you are going to hunt me down and kick me in my head, now THAT, darling little cheerleader, is an extremely petty thing to say. Like I said in the first chapter, this is a Buffy/Legolas, and if you don't like it, OH WELL. Get over it. No one is forcing you to read my story. If you are still unhappy and feel the need to come to my house to kick me in my head with your "good cheerleading ass kicking" feet, well then, so be it. Come on up to the North-Eastern part of Ohio and show me that a cheerleader could kick my ass. Because you know what? People who talk big are usually weak. And I highly doubt you'd be able to kick my ass. So Anonymous Cheerleader, this chapter is for you, filled with TONS and TONS of Buffy/Legolas! Have, like, a so so nice like, day!

Ch. 5 South the Ring and Key Go
They were heading to the Misty Mountains. Buffy was tired from walking, and she noticed the Hobbits were getting tired as well. "Gandalf? Could we stop and rest for a bit? The Hobbits are getting tired." She said. Gandalf looked at the Hobbits, who were nodding, then to Buffy, who looked tired as well. He nodded. "We may rest on those rocks up there, it's on the road to the Misty Mountains." He said, leading the way.
Once there, Sam had set the cooking utensils up for lunch and started cooking. Merry and Pippin went up to Boromir and tugged his shirt. "Show us how to swordfight!" Pippin said eagerly. Boromir chuckled and nodded and unsheathed his sword, the Hobbits did the same. Buffy, Aragorn and Legolas watched on with interest. Boromir showed Merry and Pippin the basics; glad they were catching on quick. Aragorn lit a pipe and started smoking. "Two, one, five. Good! Very good!" Boromir said. Pippin smiled. Aragorn pulled his pipe away from his mouth. "Move your feet." He advised. Pippin and Boromir was still practicing. "You look good, Pippin." Merry complimented. Pippin smiled wider and looked at Merry. "Thanks." He said.
"Faster." Boromir said. Merry joined in too, and the three were all practicing together.
A few moments later, Merry and Pippin were tired, and wished to stop. Boromir laughed good naturedly and nodded, allowing the Hobbits to rest. Buffy stood up and bounced over to him. "My turn, my turn!" She said. Boromir looked skeptically at her. "Go ahead, Boromir." Aragorn said, giving Buffy his sword. "Thanks." She said as she took it. She looked back at Boromir, getting in the position. "Don't go easy on me." She said. He nodded and positioned himself in front of her. Everyone stopped what they were previously doing to watch.
`He isn't going to make the first move.. How very typical of a guy.' Buffy thought and shook her head. `Oh well. Guess I'll have to do it.' Buffy whipped her sword around, making contact with Boromirs sword. He responded. They went on like that for a few minutes. "Come on! I told you don't go easy on me! I'm not going to break, unless you are afraid you'll break!" Buffy teased. Boromir struck harder. "Come on, my dead grandmother hits harder than that!" She said, challenging Boromir again, hitting his sword with too much force, knocking him back. He looked up and saw Buffy holding her sword to his neck with a smug look on her face. "Don't be afraid of girls Boromir. Some won't break." She said and helped him up. He was amazed. "How.. You don't fight like a normal lady." He said. Buffy shook her head again. "That's because I'm not a normal girl." She said and walked away.
Gimli approached Gandalf, who was talking to Dawn. "How long are we to stay on this path, Gandalf?" Dawn asked. "40 days. If our luck holds, the Gap of Rohan will still be open to us. From there our road turns east to Mordor." Gandalf answered Dawn. "If anyone was to ask my opinion, which I note they're not, I'd say we were taking the long way round. Gandalf! We could pass through the Mines of Moria. My cousin Balin would give us a royal welcome." He said. Just the mention of that place gave Dawn the creeps. She took a bite of her food. Gandalf gave Gimli a feared look. "No, Gimli. I would not take the road through Moria unless I had no other choice." He said. Dawn was relieved.
Buffy was staring off into the sky looking at something. Legolas came up next to her. "You fight with a sword like you had done it before. I have never seen a woman with the skill of a blade as you do." He said to her kindly. Buffy smiled. On the road, her and Legolas had spoken with one another often. She was attracted to his blonde hair, his deep soulful eyes, and his kindness. "That's because I have. I was born to do it." She answered, still staring at something in the sky. "Hey.. Legolas.. What is that?" She asked him, pointing to the sky. Legolas looked where she was indicating and squinted.
"What is that?" Sam asked, taking notice. Gimli shook it off. "Nothing. It's just a wisp of cloud." He said.
"I don't think so, Gimli.. It's going to fast against the wind." Dawn said. Now everyone was staring.
Legolas turned around quickly and grabbed Buffy. "Crebain from Duneland!" Legolas shouted. "HIDE!" Aragorn yelled, sending everyone is a hurry to pick everything up as if to hide evidence anyone has ever been there. Aragorn grabbed Frodo and they hid under thick bushes. Sam put the fire out, taking the pans and food with him before hiding. Everyone was hiding as the Crebain flew around the area, exploring it thoroughly; making sure no one was there.
Legolas held Buffy close to him, her facing him. He looked down at her and she looked up at him. And slowly his face began to inch towards her. "Spies of Saruman. The passage south is being watched. We must take the pass of Caradhras." Gandalfs' voice broke Buffy and Legolas up; they quickly squirmed out of the others embrace and came out from their hiding spot.
They were all freezing. They were walking up a steep and snowy mountain with Gandalf leading them. Frodo fell back, rolling down. "Frodo!" Aragorn and Buffy called, both running to him. Aragorn helped Frodo up and held him by the shoulders to keep him steady. "Are you alright?" Buffy asked. Frodo nodded and began to wipe the snow off his clothes. He reached inside his shirt to find the Ring was gone. He looked around in panic, finding it lying in the snow not too far from the three. Boromir picked the Ring up by the chain and examined it. Aragorn moved his hand from Frodos shoulder to the hilt of his sword. "Boromir." Buffy warned. "It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing." He said to no one. He held the chain up with one hand and reached for the Ring with the other. "Boromir! Give the Ring to Frodo." Aragorn commanded. Boromir came out of his trance and walked slowly towards Buffy, Aragorn, and Frodo. "As you wish." He said holding the chain out, which Frodo grabbed quickly and pulled the chain around his head and down to his neck. "I care not." Boromir said and ruffled Frodos hair. He walked back to everyone else who were watching, and Aragorn took his hand off the hilt of his sword.
"So the Fellowship has the Slayer in it?" Glory fumed. "Damn it! I can't get her away from my Key!" She started to pace. "Calm down, it is not the end." Saruman said to her. She stopped pacing and sighed. "Alright then, you fix it." She snapped. Saruman smirked and walked away.
Legolas walked ahead of the group as they struggled through the deep snow. He was listening to the wind carefully. "There is a fell voice on the air." He said to everyone. "It's Saruman!" Gandalf yelled as boulders of snow started to fall. Everyone moved and bushed up against the mountain wall out of the way. "He's trying to bring down the mountain! Gandalf, we must turn back!" Aragorn hollered over the wind. Gandalf shook his head and stood at the ledge. "Losto Caradhras, sedho, hodo, nuitho I `ruith!" Gandalf shouted while holding up his staff. A bolt of lightning hit the mountain, sending snow and rocks down, burying the group.
With difficulty, the group dug themselves out. Buffy gasped for breath and looked around frantically. "Dawn?" She called to her sister. "I'm here, Buffy. I'm ok." Dawn answered. Buffy nodded. "Gandalf! We can't go this way! It's too dangerous!" Buffy said. Everyone agreed. "We must get off the mountain! Make for the Gap of Rohan! Or take the west road to my city!" Boromir suggested. "The Gap of Rohan takes us too close to Isengard." Aragorn disagreed. "We cannot pass over a mountain. Let us go under it! Let us go through the Mines of Moria." Gimli pressed on with his idea.
Gandalf looked directly into Frodos eyes. "Let the Ring-bearer decide. Frodo?" He said. Everyone turned their gazes to Frodo now. He looked straight into Gandalfs eyes. Dawn hoped Frodo wouldn't agree to go through the mines. "We will go through the mines." He said making his decision. Dawns heart sank.
"So be it."
