Lynx Yamato; Thanks! ;-)
Kawaii Elf Girl; X-D Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Wow, you can manage not to get hurt by the porcupine? You'll have to tell Legolas your trick... read on to see what I mean...
Enelya Wood; I see you've changed your name again, eh? :-D Thanks!

Bakuscrazdfangrl; X-D Lol!!! I know lots of girls who'd want that scenario, believe me!
Estel; You mean you hadn't figured that out YET?! X-D I've been going through a bit of a lemming phase recently, in fact, my new nickname at school, besides Pippin of course, is Mad Lemming... ;-)
Terreis; Well, it's been a long time for everything, but I'm back on track now! ;-) I've noticed, I've given them all new mini-personalities in this; Aragorn is like a moody sarcastic teenager, Legolas is your average dumb-but-loveable blonde, and Gimli is... well, he's just Gimli... X-) I've got a mental picture of poor Aragorn trying to squirm away from you now! LOL!
MLynnBloom; I think awesomely is a word... another one of life's little mysteries, eh? Oh wait. No it's not. Spell-check says it is! :-)

ArwenAvonolle; Thanks for reviewing! ;-) Well, Legolas has to have some sort of a dark side, he can't be sweetness and light all the time! –points to Legolas who is wearing devil horns and brandishing a pointy pitchfork-
K-chan; Thanks! :-) That's cool; I've written it having an anime style in my head too, in fact, I think you'll love the A/N down the bottom! ;-)
Katca Mcadar; Grrr, KT, I'm not a baka!!! YOU BAKA!!! Coming ON?! O.o Sweet Eru... AAAAAAAH!!! Well, I'm insane too! X-D

MESSAGE TO YOU ALL!!!
I thought you'd be interested, but I'm slowly drawing this story into a comic strip, so when each chapter is done, I'll post the links into my bio! ;-) It's also anime style, so I'm hoping you like it!
Also, a little competition for you... the first one to review who spots the tiny homage to a movie in this chapter gets a prize...
.: Chapter Seven :.
"Ow... Ow... Ow... OW!!! WATCH WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!"
"Sorry Aragorn; it was a big one..." said Gimli, though there was more of a subtle laughter to his voice than apology.
Aragorn, bent over and leaning on a rock, grumbled something rude (and thankfully incoherent) under his breath, and Gimli continued to pull the sharp porcupine needles out of the King's posterior. "Just wait till this is finished Legolas..." warned Aragorn, wincing. "I'm going to knock you flying into next week!!! OW!!!"
Legolas ignored him completely, just as he had the last forty or so times Aragorn had made this threat. After all, it was a lot of needles. Instead, he stared cautiously at the porcupine.
The porcupine stared cautiously back. They stayed like that for a few seconds, warily eying each other, trying to assess the level of danger this new threat possibly held. After all, to the porcupine, Legolas was big enough to eat him. To Legolas, the porcupine was small enough to creep into his bed at night...
Aragorn (needles now removed) and Gimli looked at the swapping of stares with a twist of confusion and amusement.
"Finally, someone on the same level as the Elf..." said Gimli quietly. Aragorn nodded slowly in agreement.
Finally Legolas straightened. There was a tingling air of apprehension in the atmosphere as they waited for his 'assessment'...
Suddenly he grabbed the porcupine and pulled it into a hug. The porcupine's poor eyes bulged out of its head and it wheezed.
"ISN'T IT CUTE?!" cried Legolas. Aragorn looked at him blankly.
"Gimli?" he whispered. "Are you sure those herbs have worn off completely?"
Gimli however was thinking of something else. "Legolas?"
Legolas opened one eye, swivelling it to look at the Dwarf. Both Gimli and Aragorn recoiled backwards a little as he did this.
"One: Don't do that." said Aragorn "Two: Aren't those spines hurting you?"
Legolas looked confused. "Spines? What spi-" Suddenly, his eyes widened, the right one twitching.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!!" He threw the porcupine away from himself, pulling a needle out of his arm. "WHY didn't anyone tell me that would happen?!"
"Look laddie, you had a living diagram here," commented Gimli sarcastically, jabbing a thumb at Aragorn who was currently rubbing his own sore patches. The former Ranger sulked.
"Just because you haven't had the privilege of being punctured yet Gimli doesn't mean you can take it out on us..."
Legolas poked the porcupine, who, traumatised by the manic hug it had received, had curled up into a ball. "I think I'll call him Fred."
"What?!" said Aragorn, disbelievingly. "Oh no Legolas, I refuse to let you keep it!!!"
"It's up to me," said Legolas. "After all, every other pet I've had has-"
"Died." cut in Aragorn flatly. "Died in the most hideous ways! Remember the rabbit that was squashed by an Oliphaunt? And the falcon?"
"What happened to the falcon?" asked Gimli on seeing Legolas' sheepish face.
Aragorn shook his head. "Let's just say, it showed everyone why you shouldn't feed rice to birds. They were scraping pieces of that poor bird off of the palace walls for weeks... and let's not even discuss the horses..."
Legolas looked at him indignantly. "Look, I didn't know that that she-Elf had a grudge against me! It was her fault anyway, cutting off that horse's head and putting it in my bed..."
"Face it Legolas," said Aragorn finally. "Animals and you just don't mix."
Unbeknownst to them, a group of scantily clad figures was watching them from the cover of the trees. Aragorn's sword lay against one of the rocks where he'd left it to get needles pulled out of him, and he'd not picked it up afterwards. One reached out a hand and snatched it, pulling it into the undergrowth.
"Like, oh my god!!!" it whispered to another. "Like, I got it!!!"
"Ooh, like, lemme see!" said the other.
"No way girlfriend!" sneered the first. "Like, this is so mine! Anyway, I, like, like him so much more than you do!"
"No way!!!" squealed a third. "Like, I am so the biggest Aragorn fan here."
A fourth one laughed. "You can, like, keep him. Legolas is such a hottie!!!"
The scantily clad figures continued watching the three, who had suddenly fallen silent.
Aragorn's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Alright. Which one of you nicked my sword?"
The Elf and Dwarf looked back at him blankly before sniggering.
"I hope you didn't intend that to mean the way it sounded Aragorn..." said Legolas slyly. The human rolled his eyes.
"No!!! I mean, I left my sword over there, by that rock, and now-" He stopped short as he spotted eight pairs of eyes staring at them, each a different colour of the rainbow; Fire Red, Vibrant Orange, Sun Yellow, Dragon Green, Sea Blue, Night Indigo, and Pale Violet... and one pair of Fluorescent Pink. After all dear readers...
It is a well documented fact that Rabid Amazonian Mary-Sue Fangirls have no camouflage...
-gasp!- Rabid Amazonian Mary-Sue Fangirls!!! Basically I've tried to piece together as much Mary-Sue-ish material as I could find... YES, I AM still traumatised by the experience of the researching... and put them into these eight girls...
The next chapter is called Operation Sharp Thing. A daring rescue, a killer porcupine, and a journey deep into the heart of R.A.M.S.F HQ... be there, or be... not there. -sweatdrop-
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I hope you like the next! ;-)
Oh yeah... the harmonica, completely with Elven Slobber, is up for auction...

LEGOLAS: -sniffle-
