Disclaimer: Lori is mine; Legolas and Haldir are Tolkiens, savvy?

This is my first story. Please tell me if you like!

America 2004

      Lori came back to her cabin to see everyone sleeping. She tried no to make a sound, but the door slammed behind her and everyone woke up.

       " Lori where have you been?! We were so worried about you! You left right in the middle of when Whit was telling T off," said Chris.

       " I went on a walk, okay?" Lori was heading to the showers to take a shower.

       " Well, while you were gone we got a new rookie," said Whit, trying to break up the whole discussion between Lori and Chris, " Her name is Taylor. Now, what I was thinking is that we should give her a nick-name."

     " This isn't over, Smith," said Chris.

     " Oh, bring it on."

     " It has already been brought," said Lori. They were quoting a line off of Bring it on. They always quoted stupid movies like that.

    Lori turned toward Taylor, reached out her hand and said,

     " Hi, I'm Lieutenant Lori Smith."

     " I'm Taylor Cloude. I just moved here from L.A.," she said shaking Lori's hand.

       " Don't lie it is not Lieutenant anymore," said Whit with a grin.

       " What do you mean?" said Lori in the kind of tone that says if you don't tell me, I'll beat it out of you.

       " After you went on your little outing, which wasn't really that little, it was three hours, but we drove T off and made you Captain.

      Lori looked at them, and then she fainted.

      Lori woke up the next morning in a bed in the nurse's office with an aching head and T right beside her bed.

      " So this is their new Captain, she finds out she is head leader of a squad and she faints," said T.

      The nurse caught him and made him leave. Lori got up, but the nurse said she had some kind of concussion and she couldn't leave. Lori was determined to leave that day. She even tried to sneak out the window, but the nurse caught her. Later that day Whit came to see her.

       " How are you feeling?" she asked, worried.

       " Fine. How is everyone doing? Did they do the morning routine? How is Taylor doing?"

       " You act like you have been gone for years. Everything is fine. Don't worry about it. I have it under control," said Whit.

      Lori let out a sigh. There was a few seconds of silence and Whit said, 

          " Hey why were you gone for three hours? Is there something I need to know about?"

          Lori could tell that Whit was really concerned about her so she told her the truth.

        " The truth is, I was thinking about my parents. My mom mostly. I mean, if I hadn't been so annoying that day she would have never had to take that drive that killed her," said Lori. She had thought about this all day (when she wasn't trying to escape). Lori started to break down and Whit was there to hold her. She cried until she was a sleep.

Middle Earth 1236

       Legolas and Haldir were at the edge of Mirkwood when they saw the Rangers that were destroying the towns. Instinctively they went after them. They readied their bows and arrows and started to kill them. One by one, it was like picking them of a cherry tree. They were still pretty far away when they had finished killing everyone. They eased closer to the dead Rangers when they realized they weren't Rangers at all! They just looked like Rangers.

          " Why would someone pretend to be a Ranger?" asked Haldir.

          " Maybe to give people the wrong idea about Rangers, or maybe they are trying to set someone up for something," said Legolas.

          All of a sudden their eleven ears heard what sounded like a horse coming over the hill. They both saw a hooded man on a horse coming toward them. They readied their bows once more when the man said,

           " I mean you no harm, I'm just passing through."

          "  What business do you have?!" asked Legolas.

          " Well Legolas, I believe that you and Haldir have already killed the impersonators that I've been hunting down," said the Man.

          " Aragorn?" asked Legolas.

         " Yes, it is me old friend," he said taking off his hood.

         " I knew that it was highly strange for the Dunedain to kill people who did not pose a threat. What is all of this about?" asked Haldir.

         " Sauron knows that I am an heir of Gondor and he is trying to stop it by turning people against me. I am not sure why," explained Aragorn.

         " We were on our way to do exactly what we just did. I guess we should go back. Aragorn, would you like to join us?" asked Haldir.

         " No thank you, I have business to attend to in Rivendall," said Aragorn as he got on his horse.

         " Meeting with Lord Elrond?" asked Legolas.

         " No, his daughter," he said as he was riding away. They all laughed.

         Legolas and Haldir turned and went over to their horses. They got on their horses and rode back into Mirkwood. They were happy to know that Aragorn hadn't been a part of the killing and destroying. They were coming into a part of the forest that was heavily wooded and didn't expect any danger. Out of nowhere an ugly looking creature jumped out of the trees and landed on Haldir and Legolas. The two elves were knocked out. The creature was fine, but scared because it knew that Legolas was the king's son.

         " Oh no, what am I going to do," it said. It put its hood on so no one could tell that he did it. " I know, I'll send them to the future. So far in the future that they won't be able to tell anyone that they know. Yes, that is what I'll do. It is a great plan."

        It said a few words that no one could recognize and, poof, Haldir and Legolas were gone.

        " I wonder where I sent them… What does that word mean… 2004! Wonderful. They won't know anyone there. Good luck," it said as it left the forest. Legolas and Haldir had been sent to America 2004!
