FORWARD INTO THE FIC:

Chapter 5: Oo

The forest is cool and calming and I sit alone, stilling my frantic heart. I sing quietly to myself for a moment, then sit at the base of a tree, tucking my knees up to my chin. After a while, I hear soft crunching on the forest floor and leap to my feet, thinking that at least one of my pursuers has located me. I draw my bow , holding my arrow against the taut string and aiming at the sound. When what seems like hours have passed, a small, thick figure with a braided beard steps into my line of sight. I breathe a sigh of relief and put my bow down.

"Going to shoot me, my Elf brother?" Gimli asks, smiling.

"I heard you coming a mile off, but I didn't know who you were."

"May I?" Gimli gestures to a patch of leaves on the forest floor and I nod,

happy for a change in companionship (ie: someone who won't try to jump my gun). "Don't worry about those guys," he says. "I mean, it's been a long journey and there's no women here, so..."

"Hey."

"Sorry, mate," Gimli chuckles. "But you have to admit––"

"No I don't."

He turns to look at me, the teasing glint gone from his eyes. "Their hearts

are in the right place, those guys... it's just their nether regions you've got to watch out for."

I laugh.

"You okay?" he asks, sounding less gruff than he ordinarily does.

"Yeah, I'll be alright."

"That's not what I asked," he says. "Are you okay? Now?"

"Ye––" I start to say that I'm fine, then stop and snap my head around to look at Gimli. "Hey," I ask suddenly. "Do you like spaghetti westerns?"

"I love spaghetti westerns," he responds, wide-eyed.

"You wanna get down?"

"Yes," he says. "Yes I do."

And so it began...

A/N, just like the title says, Oo dunno is I want to continue, I think its over here...have fun eating peanut butter!
