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

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

America 2004

T was walking in the forest that they weren't supposed to go into, but like T, he didn't care. He had heard Haldir say the magic words and he was memorizing them in his head. 'Why can't they just be the regular hocus-pocus words' he thought to himself. He was at the place he called the 'sweet spot'.

"This is it. I'm going to another relm. You know this really reminds me of Star Trek episode 332," he said to himself. "What were those words? Oh... Una ta lomenra." After he said those words blue light things started swirling around him and knocked him out.

Middle Earth 1236

Lori woke with a pound at the door. Someone was really banging.

"Hey, butt-munch captain, breakfast is waiting for us!" It was Whit.

Lori really didn't like to start the day off without any music. She also felt really cranky. 'I know I shouldn't be, but when you have to chew someone out, it's kind of hard not to' Lori thought to her self. She got herself out of bed and almost walked out in her PJs. She soon realized and went back in to change into a proper dress.

'Are elfish dresses supposed to be this uncomfortable?' she asked herself. She walked down the hall to where breakfast was being served. She entered the door way and all the guys looked to see who it was, when they realized it was Lori they all stood, even the king!

"That was quite awkward," said Lori walking toward her spot beside Legolas.

"How is it awkward?" asked Legolas as he pulled out her chair.

"I don't know," said Lori as she sat in her chair. "The guys in my..."

"Our!" interrupted Whit.

"Sorry, our world don't do that.

"Never?" asked Aragorn.

"I'm sure they did at one point," said Lori looking at the interesting food choices.

"Yeah they were probably getting paid for it," said Whit. " Haldir, I have another stupid question."

"Your questions are not stupid," said Haldir turning toward her.

"Okay, do you have Coco Puffs here?"

"Except for that question," said Lori. She saw Celeborn; he was shaking his head. Haldir was trying to keep back a laugh while the other just laughed. Whit looked like she was actually serious.

"Um..." said Haldir as he was smirking, "It's like the deal with the pizza. Different world, different food."

"Ohh," said Whit.

The king turned to face Lori and then said,

"So, I hear that you and your sister are going to find your father today."

"You heard correct," said Lori spotting grapes.

"What do you plan to do," asked the king. Lori was too memorized by her grapes to have heard what he said. "Excuse me... are you feeling well?" he turned to his son and asked, "Is she going to be all right?"

"Lori!" said Legolas snapping his finger in front of her.

"What..." she said then turned towards the king. "Oh sorry... sir... dude...sorry... sir."

The king just sighed. ' How could Legolas love a person like this? How could he even stand her?' he asked himself.

Lori turned toward Legolas and whispered to him,

"I don't think you father likes me very much."

"Not many people around here are used to pizza, plane, country loving sort of girls that I know," said Legolas.

"You know, the plane might come in handy later in life," Lori said thinking that maybe later they could just fly over Mt. Doom and drop it in. ' That would save a lot of trouble. It would probably be best with a Black Hawk though' she thought to herself.

' What is this plane you speak of?' asked a voice inside Lori's head. She knew it was Galadriel. She turned to face her slowly and said,

"All right lady, NO MORE VOODOO MIND READING THING!"

Like they did with Whit, they looked at her in a weird way, except Whit.

"What did she ask you?" asked Whit.

"What a plane was!"

"NO!" said Whit very dramatically.

"YES!"

"NOOOOOOOO," said Whit like she was dying.

Legolas, Haldir, Aragorn, and Arwen were all laughing.

"Okay that's enough," said Lori. They both went back to what they were doing before.

"What was that?" asked the king.

"It was our drama moment for the day," said Whit.

"Drama moment?" said the king.

"Everyday we have some kind of dramatic moment, whether it be while we're training, during classes, or just when T's around; and when he is around it is most likely that one of us is either going to tell him off, or my favorite, beat the crap out of him," explained Lori.

"This is most un lady like," said the king.

Legolas knew that Lori was bound to talk back to his father, and he had to stop her.

"Lori..." he started.

"What beating the crap out of someone?"

"Yes!" said the king.

"Here we go," Legolas said as he put his hand on his forehead.

"What is wrong with standing up for yourself... using your fist?" asked Lori.

The king stood up with anger and said,

"The problem is that I don't want my son to be with someone like you."

Lori stood up like the king and said,

"Well you know, that's no exactly my decision, is it?"

"Are you suggesting that my son chose you out of the other, and might I say, much more beautiful elves than you."

"YES I DID, FATHER," said Legolas as he stood up in anger to the whole fight that just took place. "And you will not insult her anymore while she is a guest here."

The whole room was still in shock about what Legolas just did. He loved Lori, but he hated to stand up to his father like that. He knew that eventually he had to because he had been getting ahead of himself for a few hundred years.

"How dare you tell me what I will and will not do in my own palace!" rumbled the king.

"Have you ever thought that this might be just more than a palace to my brothers and I?" said Legolas.

Lori looked at him and asked,

"You have brothers?"

"I'll tell you later."

"Then what is it?" asked the king. Lori sat back down so that they could have eye contact, even though it was probably angry eyes.

"To me it is a home. A place where I grew up, where I learned what to be and what not to be."

"That is the question," said Whit. Everyone in the room just stared at her until she was so uncomfortable that she had to speak. "It was Shakespeare's fault!"

"So you were saying?" said Elrond who had walked in for breakfast the in the middle of the king and Lori. Arwen and Aragorn had to fill him in because he had missed quite a bit.

"Do you understand father?"

"No I do not!" said the king in a stern voice.

"What I'm trying to say is that ever since mother died it's been effecting your judgment on things that should have an easy answer."

The king did not take lightly to what Legolas said. He stormed out of the room and turned into his office. Legolas followed him.

After that all you could hear was yelling in elfish and a large bang from when something was thrown. The breakfast hall was silent so they could hear what was going on. Everyone who knew elfish was either making a scary look or a scary look.

"Anyone want to tell me what is going on?" said Lori.

"Legolas brought up his mother... again," said Aragorn.

"Is this something that was bound to happen eventually?" asked Lori concerned.

"Yes. Legolas has been trying to please his father in every way possible, but it doesn't seem to work," said Elrond.

"And me being here doesn't help does it?"

"Not really," said Aragorn.

"Oh boy," Lori said as she put her hand on her forehead.
