Authors Notes: I LOVE YOU ALL! Ok, can you people please tell me your logic? I post chapters that are 8 pages long, and I get one review. Then, I post a chapter one paragraph long, and I get 7! NOt that im complaining in ANY way! Oh, well, crazy reviewers...
Also: Ok, considering ROTK isn't out yet, I am going to write my own version of it, he he he, so it will probably end up with an ENTIRELY different ending and scenario than the movie, but you know what? Who cares!
Chapter 20 ( nice and round)
Gandalf had told the group that they mustn't linger in the halls of Medulsed, they had to leave, although Gandalf would not tell them why. Aragorn and Jem were at the front of the group, which now consisted of Gandalf, Gimli, Aragorn, Jem, Legolas, and an unconscious Kat. ( by the way people, I went back to check something out, and reread the story, guess what? Kat has been unconscious 7 times! Good god! I swear to you right now, NEVER again!) Gandalf stopped for the night at a clearing, and told them to take rest.
Jem curled herself into Aragorn's arms, and the soon fell asleep ( Gandalf was flabbergasted at seeing this, because remember, he hadn't known about them being together). Gimli was snoring away in a corner, and Legolas was watching over Kat.
Your realize that she will not simply walk away Gandalf said, amusement lining his voice.
I'm not willing to take the chance, Jem has awakened, why hasn't Kat? Legolas said, his worried stare searching Gandalf face.
Maybe because her wound was much more severe than Jem's Gandalf said simply.
Legolas hadn't thought about that. He hadn't thought about much of anything actually.
I just want to be sure Legolas said resolutely.
Gandalf nodded his head, and slowly fell asleep.
~*~*~*~Kat~*~*~*~
Kat sighed in boredom. She was watching all her fav movies, but this was getting tiring! Kat turned off the TV, and went over to her laptop. While it started up, she twirled a loose strand of hair between her fingers.
That's it! I can't stand it anymore! I wanna go back to Middle- Earth, NOW! Kat screamed into her room. Kat opened the door to her balcony, and screamed at the top of her lungs I WISH I WERE BACK IN MIDDLE EARTH! Blackness surrounded her, and a creepy voice whispered something eerily into her ear.
Fine, have your wish, but I am not done playing with you yet...
Kat shivered and woke up, two strong arms surrounded her. * Awww, Legolas is sooo, sweet!* She snuggled closer to him, and when his rough chin touched her forehand, she stopped dead. * Ummm, Legolas doesn't have a rough chin, he can't grow a beard, it's an Elf thing I think, so, um, there must be a logical explanation for this...* Kat slowly turned around slowly, and let out an ear piercing scream. It was Aragorn.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aragorn was startled awake.
What's the matter? He asked her concerned.
What's the matter?! What's your problem! Hello? Who the hell do you think I am? Kat ran away from the clearing. Once she was far away from the clearing as her legs would take her in five minutes, she sat on the cold, damp ground.
Kat was breathing heavily from the running. * What the hell is Aragorn doing?* She thought to herself. She absentmindedly tucked a strand of brown wavy hair from her face. Kat stood stock still. She took the hair from behind her ear. * WAVY BROWN?! MY HAIR IS STRAIGHT BLONDE!* Kat inspected a few more things, her ears were pierced, she didn't have pierced ears. Holy God. She was in Jem's body.
Kat ran back to the clearing. She saw her/Jem lying on the ground, and Legolas was sleeping on a rock by her. He woke up when Kat/Jem entered the room. (// *AN: I am going to change the names so it is easier to understand. Kat in Jem's body will be : Kam ( The from Kat, the from Jem) and Jem in Kat's body will be Jet ( Je from Jem, T from Kat) Ok try to remember that!//)
Kam slowly crept into the room. Legolas stirred, and woke up. Jem, what are you doing here? He asked, slowly getting up. Kam went over to Jet, and shook her awake.
Huh? What do you want? Jet asked Kam. Legolas smiled broadly.
You're awake! He said happily, and hugged Jet. Jet pushed away from him, while Kam smacked him over the head repeatedly. What? He asked shielding himself from Kam's bashing.
Don't hug her! Hug me! I'm the one who's been gone! Kam said angrily to Legolas.
What are you talking about? Legolas asked, watching curiously as Jet stared at Kam, and then inspected her ears and hair.
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Jet screamed. What happened!? Jet screamed.
I don't know! Kam screamed back, both girls were close to tears.
Aragorn came into the clearing then, and went over to Legolas. What is going on? He asked in hushed tones, he didn't want to get too close to Kam after what had happened earlier. Jet saw him and ran over to him, crying into his shirt. Aragorn held her awkwardly, and looked to Kam in question, but Kam was already burying her face into Legolas' shoulder and crying as well. Both men were glaring at each other, because each one had the other's girl ( confusing huh?). Or so they thought.
Gandalf came into the clearing, once heard the wailing he decided to investigate. He gasped when he saw the two girls.
Kat! He said, and looked towards Kam. Kam lifted her head from Legolas' shoulder.
Yes? She sniffled, and Legolas took a step back, staring at her strangely.
What happened? Gandalf asked, sitting her down calmly.
I don't know! I was in the other dimension, and I said I want to go back to middle earth right now!' and then this creepy voice sounded in my ear, saying something like fine, but i'm not done playing with you' Kam shivered, remembering the voice. And when I woke up, I was like this! Kam said, gesturing to herself.
Hmmm, sounds like Saruman's tricks, I will see if I can remedy this... Gandalf went off, muttering things to himself.
Kam and Jet looked at each other, and then at themselves. They shook their heads. Do I really look like that? Both girls asked, looking towards the men. The men obviously were having a hard time understanding all this, so both sat down instead of answering the girl's question.
The girls basically just looked at each other the entire time Gandalf was gone, and when he came back, everyone was relieved, because this was getting creepy!
I think I can fix this Gandalf said, holding a little vial in his hand, and Aragorn vaguely wondered where he kept them all.
Gandalf gave both girls the odd little wooden vials, and both girls took a tentative sip. Kam and Jet made terrible faces, and spit some of t back out.
You must drink it! Gandalf insisted. Kam and Jet cringed, then downed the vials in one gulp. Kam made a gagging noise and Jet began to shake her head, making an awful face. And odd expression crossed both girl's faces, and then they both stood wide eyed.
Did it work? Aragorn asked, then noticed that Gandalf had left the room. Kat and Jem both checked their hair color, and then ran towards their men, and kissed them full on.
After about two minutes, they drew apart, and smiled at each other.
I take it that your back in your own bodies Legolas said, grinning.
How'd you guess? Kat asked teasingly back.
Hello? A small voice came from a corner of the clearing.
The group of four looked towards the sound, and saw a young Elf, probably only 500 years. He was obviously a messenger for royalty, he was dressed in white robes, green accents and golden trim. I have a message for the Prince He said, in the same hesitant tone.
Legolas stepped forward, and took the letter, while the messenger bowed and left. Kat began to giggle, and had a huge grin on her face.
What? Jem asked.
I'm in love with a Price! I'm soooo happy right now!
Yea, but my guy's gonna be king
Yea, but my guy is already a prince
oh, come off it! Jem said, smacking Kat on the arm.
You come off it! Kat said, retaliating , and hitting her back.
Oh come on! Jem and Kat proceeded to use their nails, and feet to tackle each other to the ground. Another cat fight began, while they were rolling around, Legolas began to read the letter, and had a solemn look on his face. Legolas and Aragorn looked towards the girls, and were shocked to see them fighting.
Girls? Aragorn said, making the girls stop the fight. What are you fighting about now? He said, sighing.
Nothing! Jem and Kat replied quickly, while brushing themselves off.
Whats in the letter? Kat asked, trying to divert the attention to Legolas.
It's from my father Legolas said He said I must return to Mirkwood immediately, he is quite vague, but apparently it is a matter of great importance that I go right away Legolas was folding up the letter now and gathering his things.
Your leaving? Kat said, and Jem could hear a hint of tears in her voice as she said this.
I'm sorry Kat, really I am, but I promise, I will be back as soon as I can He kissed the top of her head, and left the clearing.
Kat felt bereft and empty without him around, so Jem went over to comfort her friend. He will be back as soon as he can, and you know Legolas, he will probably get there and back in no time! Jem's words were of little consolation to Kat.
Authors Notes: Ok, i know this is short, but I am feeling VERY sick, and I don't think I can keep going. I wanted to post this chapter quick as well, so I promise the next chapter will be very long. My friend Erin helped me with idea's for the next chapter, so I can't wait to write it, but i'm just feeling SICK and can't manage right now. The next chapter will be up once i'm feeling a bit better, so.. maybe in a few days! Oh and of course REVIEW!!!!!!
Also, i'm writing this sick, as you know, so i'm not even proofreading this! I know there will be mistakes, bu i'll correct them later.

Sabi2: Hey! Missed you! I tend to pretend I know my reviewers so.... yea. You poor thing! Grounded from the computer! I would die! I always pretend that I need my laptop for homework, so they don't take it away, he he he!
mrnynb: Wow! You reviewed like ALL of my stories!! Im so happy! Yea, I know what ur talking about in chapter 8, and I intend to fix it soon. Also, a few strange things you REALLY PREDICTED the whole love will bloom in chapter 15 thing, you were right! Also, I was creeped out, b/c when I read ur review I was eating ribs, and then you said you were, so I was like freaky!
Aragorns-gurl33: Yea, don't worry about me being mad, I don't take criticism well, but this I understand. Like 3 other ppl have been asking me about Arwen, an I swear in the next couple of chapters i'll make it clear! Arwen has gone to the undying lands, and he knows he will probably never see her again, so Jem is his way of sorta moving on, but he's just not ready to part with the necklace yet, so he'll keep it a while longer.
Chrystyna: Thanx 4 understanding, and thanx for the talented writer bit, unfortunately, my English teacher doesn't agree with you!
hoshinekoyasha: Library computers never work, grrr...
Sorceress-of-Sangolia: Thank You! You wouldn't mind telling that to my English teacher would you... ^_^
