Somewhere in Legolas' stomach; Nice name LOL! ^_~ My friend suggested shoving a piano down his gob, but I thought that might just be going a little too far! ^_^

Crystal Snowflakes; LOL! It's nice to know I can actually reach someone who's old enough to snort into coffee, LOL! ^_~ Thanks!

Rainy; Ok!

bob; Thanks, and just for you, those 3 other stories of mine have been updated and I'm just writing new chapters for them now! ^_~

Lomiothiel; Actually, I don't think Legolas will be able to do much muttering because... oops! Nearly gave away some of the plot there! *taps self on wrist* Naughty!

Sulianna; Thank you!

MLynnBloom; LOL! "Legolas and me on a horse..." That is one of my favourite daydreams! Speaking of dreams, I was having one where Orlando Bloom was just about to kiss me when suddenly he disappeared (by this time I was like "Orlando? Orlando?!?!? Where'd you go babe?!" ^.^' ) and suddenly a dog with Elijah Wood's face appeared and started licking my feet... turns out my dad had snuck into my room at that precise moment and tickled the soles of my feet which were sticking out from underneath the quilt... *sigh*... I mean, I've got nothing against Lij but that was one friggin weird dream...  

Hope you all enjoy the next chapter!

.:Chapter Two:.

Aragorn got up, brushed tears of laughter from his eyes, and wandered over to Legolas. "Okay then Legolas," he said. "Open up and we'll get that harmonica out of you."

Obediently the Elf opened his mouth wide and the Ranger peered inside. With a frown he called Gimli. The Dwarf wandered over.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"I can't see it!" said Aragorn. "Can you?"

Looking down his friend's throat, he could see nothing. "Nope," sighed Gimli. "How are we going to get it out then?"

Aragorn plonked himself awkwardly on the floor and shut his eyes. The other two looked confused. "What are you doing laddie?" asked Gimli.

"Sssh! I'm concentrating!" growled Aragorn, opening one eye to glare at the Dwarf, before promptly shutting it again.

Legolas was getting rather fed up with this. "If you don't mind..." he said...

At least, he meant to say, but the words came out as musical notes.

"HA!" cried Gimli happily. "Not only have you swallowed that wretched thing, but Aulë has taken pity on me and made you sound like a musical instrument!" He doubled up laughing. Aragorn had come out of his 'concentration' mode to chuckle as well.

Legolas snarled at them. "Ha ha, very funny!" he thought. There was no use trying to say anything; it would only make them laugh more.

"Well," said Aragorn. "There is one thing we could try..."

~*~*~*~

"I CANNOT BELIEVE I'M LETTING YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!" screeched a certain Prince of Mirkwood as Gimli finished tying some thick coarse rope around his ankles. He watched, seething, as Aragorn threw the other end over a broad tree branch.

"Legolas please; if you're going to try and play that thing while it's still in your throat you could at least attempt to do it tunefully," sighed the Ranger. This method had worked when he and Elladan had used it on Elrohir when the Elven twin had swallowed a marble; hopefully it should work again.

"Just what are you planning to do now anyway?!" asked Legolas fearfully, yet all that emerged were some screeching chords.

"Master Elf, a word, if I may?" asked Gimli politely. Legolas raised his eyebrows. Taking this to mean 'Yes', Gimli moved closer to his friend.

"Now, pardon me, if you think I'm being rude, but I wish to ask you that if and when I have to stand anywhere near you, could you please SHUT UP?!?!?!?!" He shouted the last part into the Elf's ear so loud he jumped. Gimli sighed and sat down with a thud on the ground. "Thank you."

Legolas shook his head to try and stop the ringing in his ears. He was still feeling a bit dizzy when suddenly...

Woosh! "AAAHHH!!! PUT ME DOWN NOW!!!" he hollered. Aragorn had pulled the rope hard and he had suddenly found himself hanging upside down by his ankles from the tree.

"Now Legolas, calm down, it's alright!" soothed Aragorn, tying the rope onto a gnarled tree root. "All we do now is wait for it to slide out overnight!" He beamed broadly.

Both Legolas and Gimli looked at him as though he was mad. "Pardon?" said the Dwarf, laughing sarcastically. "Something tells me this is not going to work!" Legolas nodded his head in agreement.

Aragorn's smile faded slightly. "Well, I... erm, see... well it worked before!" he stated angrily, before fading back down again. "But, I suppose a marble is a lot smaller..."

"Damn right it is!" grumbled Gimli.

"Well he looks kinda cute!" suggested Aragorn; trying to make some good of his otherwise terrifically pants idea.

"Yes!" chortled Gimli. "Like a little bat..."

Legolas glared at him with ice cold eyes. "Very funny!" he sang, not impressed at all either with the rubbish idea of his Ranger friend, the position he was in or the fact he was now being made the butt of many jokes.

Gimli stopped and thought for a moment before brightening up. "I've got it!" he cried. Jumping up from his seat on the floor he stomped over to the rope which held the Elf in the air and placed his foot on it. He grinned as he watched his woodland friend pale visibly.

"Gimli..." asked Aragorn suspiciously, watching it unfold. "What are you doing?"

"Oh, just a little thing that might work," replied the Dwarf casually. He looked at the rope, the down to his foot, the back up to the rope again. "Yes, that should work," he mumbled to himself. Kneeling on the ground, he drew some calculations in the dirt.

Aragorn tiptoed over and peered over his shoulder. His eyes widened at what he saw. "You're not, are you?!" he gasped.

"I am!" grinned the Dwarf. He glanced over to his helpless friend, still swaying slightly as he was suspended from the tree.

Never before had Legolas been so desperate to hear what somebody was saying about him. "What now?!" he thought.

Gimli stood again and placed his foot on the rope. "Ready?" he smiled sweetly. Legolas groaned.

"Ready as I'll ever be..."

Without warning his friend suddenly pressed down hard on the rope with his foot, sending Legolas flying upwards before bouncing off of the branch again. Gimli kept pressing down with his foot until the Elf became a blur... and a loud one at that. His voice wobbled as he screamed, the world bouncing up and down like a rubber ball.

"Ok Gimli," said Aragorn, smirking slightly. "Give him a rest now." The Elf slowly came to a stop, still bouncing on the rope.

"Uuuugh..." he groaned. "I think I'm going to be sick..."

And still the harmonica didn't budge.

"Ooh damn..." grumbled Gimli. He hated it when plans didn't turn out right.

Suddenly Legolas hiccupped, a loud chord emerging from his throat as he did so.

"What was that?!" asked Aragorn, somewhere between a confused shout and a laugh. As if replying Legolas hiccupped again.

"Great," thought the Elf indignantly. "Not only have I got a harmonica stuck in my throat, strung up by my ankles from a tree, upside down, and dizzy..." He sighed hopelessly before hiccupping again. "...I have the hiccups as well..."

Aaaw, poor Legolas! =D Do you think I'm too cruel? Tell me in a nice review...
