Estel Elven Enchantress; Legolas, Aragorn, please. It's exactly as Jo said; that is so TTT!!! Oh no, I cried way too much at ROTK!!!

I did that once at my school PGL trip (me and my mates were having a little 'party' at around midnight!) and I can't really remember what happened that night... all I know, from my Bessie mate's account, was that I cracked up at the most unfunny things (like the word 'cage'!) and I sat up half the night in bed singing Flying Purple People Eater really loudly... ah, memories... mind you, some words just do set my off, like bungee... I dunno why, but I just think bungee *snort!* is a really funny word... so don't say it in a review or I'll crack up! Jeez this was a long review reply...

.:Chapter Four:.

Legolas' eyes flashed dangerously as he fixed a furious gaze on the Dwarf. Gimli immediately noticed this and grinned nervously.

"Erm... just a little mood lightener?" he said, trying to find an excuse for his words.

Legolas scowled. Aragorn, sensing a rather messy confrontation ahead, quickly put himself bravely between the seething Elf and quivering Dwarf. "Look," he said. "We're out of danger now, so why don't we collect our things and carry on?" He tried rather unsuccessfully to smile brightly. "I mean, what else could go wrong?!"

A clap of thunder erupted overhead, and barely a second later fat droplets of rain plummeted down onto the heads of the Three Hunters.

Aragorn's face fell and he sighed, defeated. "Well, I guess... that... could..."

~*~*~*~

It was a few hours later as they were slowly plodding through the forest that things began to go a little wrong...

Legolas had stormed off ahead, seemingly to contemplate all meanings of 'silent as the grave'. The Elf hadn't spoken a word since the incident with the Orcs. Even though Legolas was one of the Firstborn, and supposed to be blessed with the eternal patience of the Eldar, he obviously didn't feel like showing it. The weather wasn't helping either; he was caked in mud up to his knees and soaking wet.

Gimli and Aragorn were behind, sometimes chatting, but more often than not just keeping as quiet as their companion. At this point however, Gimli was thinking about something to try and get that harmonica out of his friend's throat...

"Aragorn?" he asked the Man. Aragorn looked down.

"Yes?"

"You know your herbs, don't you?" said the stouter being, trying to drop it casually into the conversation.

Aragorn stopped and stared at his friend, an eyebrow quirked up, wondering where that had come from. All of a sudden, he caught the mischievous gleam in Gimli's eye, and it all clicked into place.

"No!" he said firmly. Gimli looked innocently at him.

"What do you mean, 'no'? Did I say anything?!" he protested. Aragorn frowned angrily.

"I'm not making him sick! No, no, double no, no, no and NO!" he hissed, trying to keep it down so poor unsuspecting Legolas wouldn't hear.

Gimli had a sad look on his face. "Oh come on laddie, it'll get the job done!" He grinned devilishly. "And it'll be fun..."

Aragorn glanced sideways at his friend, then back to where Legolas stood up on a particularly tall rock, keeping watch. Back to Gimli again...

"I guess it would be pretty amusing..." He shook his head harshly. "No! I'm not doing it, no way!"

Gimli scowled. "Spoil sport..."

~*~*~*~

"I'm off to get some firewood," said Aragorn. He made sure Anduril was in its sheath and walked off.

Gimli followed the Man with narrowed beady eyes. When he was sure that Aragorn was gone, he grabbed the pack the Man had been carrying and pulled out the water flask and some herbs.

They all looked the same; dry, shrivelled up green leaves that smelled awful... but they were just leaves; they were probably all the same. Gimli shrugged and put a few interesting looking ones in the water and swirling it around a bit.

"Legolas! Come 'ere..."

~*~*~*~

What Aragorn returned to camp to beggared belief. There was Legolas, sitting on a branch of one of the trees, swinging his legs wildly. His blonde hair was messy and tied up in bunches, wrapped with bright pink bows. Gimli, an innocent look upon his face, trying to inconspicuously hide Aragorn's pack behind him, pushing it back with his foot... but failing miserably. He cleared his throat nervously.

"Where have you been?!"

"WHERE'VE YOU BEEN?!" hollered Legolas suddenly. This was the first time the Elf had spoken properly since the damned harmonica had become stuck, and now his voice was just coherent enough to make out the words, but still resonated with extremely musical tones (albeit off-key).  

"I've been trying to calm him down for two hours!" continued Gimli.

"TWO HOURS!" Legolas repeated loudly.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!" roared Aragorn. His eyes were alight with red fire.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" shouted the Elf from his treetop perch.

"Well, I, see, erm... because, well, he, then I..." blabbered Gimli, whilst above him Legolas started giggling like a maniac. As he laughed, he leant back too far and fell from the tree. He didn't seem to be hurt though; in fact he even sat up and started mumbling "Gravitygravitygravitygravitygravitygravitygravity..." continuously. The Dwarf trailed away when he caught sight of their Human companion glaring at him in fury. He finally sighed in defeat.

"I gave him some of your herbs..."

Aragorn stared... and stared some more. His mouth dropped open and nearly hit the floor.

Legolas sat on the ground and flicked some acorns at the frozen Man. The little nuts bounced off the top of Aragorn's head, each with a tiny 'blink!' noise... and still he did not move.

The Elf snorted. "He looks gormless!"

Gimli looked at the blonde, who was now quite happily squashing ants that were crawling along. "Pardon?"

"Well I reckon everybody has got a gorm, but Aragorn seems to have lost his..." explained Legolas simply.

Gimli simply shook his head. "Crazy... you're mad..."

"No, I'm the mad one," said Legolas, smirking. Gimli frowned.

"I just said-" The stout figure sighed and gave up. "Forget it... just forget it..."

Not my best chapter, but I'm working on a tight schedule... I HAVE ANOTHER HUMOUR FIC IF YOU ARE INTERESTED!!! It's a parody called The Lord of the Polos, another piece of random insanity, a bit like this... I'd love it if you review! Thanks!
