America 2004... for a little while

Lori, Whit, Legolas, and Haldir were ready to go to Middle Earth. Legolas couldn't wait for Lori to meet his father, the king. Lori was nervous about the whole thing. Whit was too.

"So what do we do when we get there?" asked Whit.

"First we settle in and learn about everything, then we go find dad and tell him off. Same old, same old," said Lori.

"Sounds fun, but do we have to wear the dress?" asked Whit.

"Maybe we could change into the getup Legolas and Haldir wears when we get there," said Lori.

"You're ready to burst aren't you?"

"More than you know," said Lori.

Everyone was out on the field at two in the morning. Hallie had given Haldir something to say in elfish. The two girls didn't know what it said, but it was confusing. Haldir had said the 'magic words' and everything went black.

Middle Earth 1236

"Lori, wake up," said Legolas.

"Where on Earth are we?" asked Lori as she got up and looked around.

"It's more like Middle Earth," said Whit.

"Awe, we made it. I thought we might have died," said Lori.

"I have to say, the transport is better when you're unconscious," said Haldir.

"Figures," said Lori.

Legolas came up to Lori, who was a little woozy, helped her and said,

"Just beyond those trees is where I live."

They walked just beyond those trees and saw a majestic castle (Elfish castle of coarse). It was made of stone. The dwarfs had helped greatly in making it. It was carved out of a mountain. It was as white as a pearl. Lori looked at Legolas. You could tell that he was happy to be in the place he belonged. They looked down at the village and saw people crying.

"Who died?" asked Whit.

"Probably us," said Haldir.

"We better go down there before we give my father a heart attack," said Legolas.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT BEFORE?" screamed a voice.

"It might be a little late for that," said Legolas.

They all rushed down towards the castle. They had to go in the back way because the she- elves would have killed them before they even got to the castle. They entered in the back door. Legolas took Lori's hand and Haldir took Whit's hand as the guys lead them through the kitchen.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" asked one of the chiefs.

"Shhhhhh! Where is my father?" asked Legolas.

"In the throne room," said the chief.

They all headed into what was the throne room. When they entered there was a great shock that swept over the room. The king looked up and saw his son holding hands with a girl (who's ears were growing nicely).

"My son," he said as he got up and went over to hug his son.

"Father," said Legolas as he let go of Lori and embraced his father.

"Where were you?" he asked with great concern. "And Haldir, all of Lorien is in shock because they couldn't find you. And who are these girls?"

"They are the girls that helped us when we disappeared," said Legolas. "May I present Lori and Whit?"

"LEGOLAS!" said a man that looked like Aragorn.

"Aragorn," said Legolas as he went over to greet his friend.

"Everyone is in an up roar because you and Haldir went missing. And who are these ladies?" asked Aragorn.

"Lori on the left and Whit on the right," said Legolas.

"Where were you?" he asked.

"In America. I'm not exactly sure where..."

"America, Texas, Fort Mount Military School," answered Lori.

"Amazing," said the king.

"What?" asked Legolas.

"She talks."

"Father!" snapped Legolas.

Whit was squeezing Haldir's hand as tight as she could. Lori wished she could have someone's hand to squeeze during this experience, but he was off talking to his father.

"I'm going to show them to their room now," said Legolas.

Legolas came over to Lori and grabbed her hand and lead them off to her room. Lori's room was right next to Legolas's room, incase she had a question about anything.

"This is your room," said Legolas.

The room was amazing. It had a double size bed with dark blue drapes hanging down from the ceiling. It had a dark wood desk sort of thing and a dark wood wardrobe. The floor was stone. If you went straight when you entered there would be a balcony, through two doors, that looked over the entire village. When Lori saw all of this she gasped.

"Do you like it?" asked Legolas.

"No, said Lori.

"What is wrong with it?"

"I love it!" she said with excitement.

Legolas smiled and said,

"My room is to your left, so if you need anything you can ask me."

Legolas was just about to leave when Lori said,

"Thanks Legolas."

"No problem."

He shut the door and went to his room to change. Lori was so excited about her room. It was so elegant. Then Lori wondered where Whit was. After all, they did have to find their dad and tell him off and make him feel bad and things like that. While pondering this, Legolas came in her room in a light blue tunic and black leggings, and boots. He looked so hot. He had redone his hair in some fancy braids.

"I guess you have some royal duties to attend to?" asked Lori.

"I guess you could say that. Father want a full report of what happened while I was missing," he said coming in the room. Lori sat up on her bed that she had been laying on. She looked at his hair.

"Any chance you could do that to my hair?" asked Lori. Her hair went right past her shoulders.

"I don't know. It might be too short," said Legolas.

"Hey, what happened to Whit? I have a evil plot against my father that I need to discuss with her," said Lori.

"She is two doors to your right. Next to Haldir's room," said Legolas.

"There should be name plates for the doors," said Lori.

"After I speak with my father, I will give you a tour of the castle," he said.

"What about Whit?" asked Lori.

"Haldir is giving her one of her own," said Legolas.

"In that case, I'd love to!"

"Would you like anything to do while you wait?" asked Legolas.

"Yeah, you got any good books?"

"I have a favorite one in fact," said Legolas as he left the room and came back with a book in his hand. "It is called the 'Fruit of Torture.' Can you read elfish?"

A person came in the doorway asking for Legolas.

"I'm sorry, I have to go," he said as he kissed Lori on the cheek and rushed out of the room. Lori stood there, as she was when Legolas kissed her. She finally snapped out of it a few minutes later and started looking at the book. It was all in elfish and for some strange reason, she understood everything that was in the book. The book was about a boy who loved to play with weapons, but wasn't allowed to, and then Legolas came back.

"Enjoying it?" he asked.

"Typical guy book. I love it!" said Lori.

"Great, ready for the tour?" asked Legolas offering his arm.

"More than you know," said Lori as she took his arm and left.
