Authors Note- I'm baaaaaaaaaaack. Sorry it took so long to update, but life
has been hell. If you catch my meaning. I had to take GT testing today, and
I am sure that I failed. Oh well, then I'll be in my other friends class.
MOVING ON! I believe that I forgot to tell that in the whole Star Wars part
of the story... there's some stuff from the expanded universe books. I will
do my best to explain it to you when needed. All right, then. On with the
story.
Chapter 3 An Entertained Elf
Aragorn's eyes scanned the numerous people that were crammed into the Golden Hall at Edoras. Legolas was standing in a corner near Gimli, softly clapping the beat to the music. Gimli was eating. Scarfing is more like it; not that it really bothered anyone.
And Lee? She was dancing. Dancing in a different way than was considered normal of course, but dancing. She was smiling and dancing around Pippin and Merry holding a tankard of beer. Most people thought this was odd, as women did not normally drink as a man did, but they accepted it. Like every other odd thing that had happened lately.
"This woman is a mystery." Gandalf said to Aragorn.
"Yes, there is much about her that I would like to know." Aragorn agreed.
"Nor does she seem to worry that she has no idea where she is and how to get back to her home. Wherever that is."
"I believe that it is time that we learn more about Lee other than her name." Aragorn's eyes narrowed.
He then chuckled as he watched Merry and Pippin happily stood on the table and sung a Hobbit drinking song. Lee danced around them both.
"But I do not think that we should spoil her fun so soon." Gandalf's eyes followed Lee as she danced around.
"For some odd reason, I agree." Aragorn said. He turned to Gandalf, his tone more serious. "No news of Frodo?" he asked.
"No word. Nothing."
"We have time. Every day Frodo moves closer to Mordor." Aragorn said confidently.
"Do we know that?" Gandalf asked, tilting his head ever so slightly.
Aragorn thought for a moment. "What does your heart tell you?"
Gandalf looked at the man standing beside him and then granted himself a small smile. "That he is alive." Aragorn nodded and turned away to watch Lee approach Legolas. "Yes... " Gandalf murmured to himself. "Yes, he is alive."
Across the way, Lee had noticed that Legolas was standing off to the side by himself. She grinned to herself and casually walked up behind him, turned him around, and said, "Come! You must dance with me!" She pulled him towards the 'dance floor.'
"No thank-you." Legolas said politely. He turned to walk away.
"Oh no you don't, you're going to dance, whether you like it or not. Join the fun!" Lee gave him a smile.
"I think I will not." he stated firmly.
"Ah, come on, you're such a stiff!" she said to him, rolling her eyes.
"What does that mean?" Legolas asked.
"It means you're too proper and can't have any fun." Lee explained.
"I can have fun." he said defensively.
"Then show me." she replied, taking a step back and crossing her arms.
"Okay..." Legolas stood there uncomfortably for a moment.
"Here." Lee said kindly. She took Legolas' hand and started to sway with everyone's singing and the music that went with it. "Just go with the flow." he stared blankly at her. "Dance in time with the music." she said flatly.
Eventually they had (somehow) gotten closer to where Gandalf and Aragorn were still talking quietly.
"Well, there's a sight." Aragorn smirked, for the first time in a while. "Our Elven friend is dancing."
"She made me." Legolas said through gritted teeth.
Gandlaf raised his eyebrows and Aragorn nodded and laughed a little at how uncomfortable Legolas was because of dancing.
"I wouldn't laugh." Lee cautioned, still playing Legolas' partner. "You two are next!" she grinned. "And don't try to go anywhere," Lee added. "Because I will find you and drag you back." she smile pleasantly and said to Legolas, "Are you thirsty? I know I am. Let's go get something to drink." The two walked off.
"You don't think she really would make us dance?" Gandalf asked.
"No," Aragorn assured him. "She'll be to busy with Legolas." He smiled weakly. "Or I hope she will be..."
Meanwhile, the other two were getting a drink. Legolas laughed suddenly. "I can hardly wait until you get them to dance." he said. 'And although I hate to admit it.' Legolas thought. 'I am enjoying myself.'
"Good." Lee said pleasantly.
"Did you just..?" Legolas asked.
"Yesh." Lee said casually. "Why?" 'Oh great Lee. 'What a way to abuse those Jedi mind powers of yours.' she mentally slapped herself. 'What would Master Skywalker say? That your powers are not to be used for your own pleasure.' A voice told her. 'Shut-up.'
"That is most unusual. Even for Middle Earth." Legolas informed her.
"Even for Middle Earth?" Lee raised her eyebrows.
"Well, you have to admit, here it seems as though the most unexpected thing happens. For example, you falling out of the sky." he paused. "Although I do not think that was such a bad thing." he smiled at her.
Lee smiled back. Yes, she decided, she liked this man...Elf...person... 'Well, whoever he is, I like him. And this place isn't half-bad either. But I know they want to talk to me. (They think they talk quietly, honestly) And I have a feeling it's not going to be very friendly. They are still very wary of me, so I had better be as friendly as possible.'
Legolas spoke up. "Thank-you for making me dance. I enjoyed it."
"No problem Blondie."
"Okay, that time I heard you say that. Is that what you call those with blonde hair?"
"Actually it's-" Lee stopped herself. A smile slowly spread across her face. "Sure, I'll go with that."
"It is not a bad thing then?" Legolas asked.
"I'll go with that too."
"Good, I thought you were making fun of me." Legolas turned back to the celebration.
"Me?" Lee pointed to herself and laughed. "Never..."
Authors Note- Alright how was that? Crickets chirp Well don't all clap at once! Okay, so anyway, when I said Skywalker, I ment Luke, not Anikan. Okay, so if you could just go review now, that's be great, thanks...
