A/N- First of all I want to thank Snodgrass Winkle for reviewing.

Please review, I don't care if it's a flame- it'll help me to improve my writing style.


Anyway, disclaimer- I own no one except Laurel and Dee Dee. (Unfortunately.)

Anyone know of a slave auction where they're selling Legolas?

No? Shame.

Okay, I don't have anything else to say, so on with the story…


Chapter 1- Bathtubs and Explanations.

Our favourite people were at that moment in a portal, transporting them to who knows where. The journey, though short- probably due to the fact that they were flying at the average speed of a jumbo jet- was excruciatingly painful. There were bright lights that made everyone close their eyes in pain, and it wasn't exactly a smooth ride. Every time they turned a corner, they crashed into the walls, so it was a relief when it finally ended.

Thump! Whumph! Bang Bang Bang! Splash!

Aragorn groaned and rolled over. His first thoughts were for his friends. "Is everyone alright?"

"Aye."

"Aye."

"Yes."

"I'm okay." Answered the four hobbits who were piled on top of each other. Everyone else answered, including Gimli from his seat in a modern sink- something the Middle Earthers hadn't seen before.

"Legolas?" Aragorn asked, when his elvish friend failed to answer. "Legolas, where are you?"

Worried for their friend, everyone stood up and started to search the area.

Meanwhile Upstairs…

Legolas opened his eyes with a flutter that a southern belle would be jealous off. When he opened his baby blues, the first thing he saw was… another pair of eyes. Forest green, with a tangle of red hair surrounding a shocked face.

Legolas frowned. Shocked? Why was she shocked? He glanced down and immediately turned red. He was in a bath. Her bath. With her in it too. Legolas jumped up and sprang out of the bath, landing on the floor beside it. In apology he bowed, his hair obscuring his face until all you could see was his pink ear-tips.

"My apologies, my Lady. I did not mean to… intrude." He cast a fleeting glance at the girl's face, which by now was also red.

"What…? How…? Who are you?" The girl gasped, after making sure the bubbles in her bath covered her.

"I'm- my name is Legolas and…"

Just then, a shout came from below them. "Legolas!"

"Aragorn!" Legolas shouted back. Suddenly realising that the girl was still in the bath, he headed towards the door, intending to close it before his friends arrived.

"Legolas!" Gimli exclaimed, as he came up the stairs. "What are you doing?" He asked, eyeing Legolas suspiciously as he tried to block the view through the door.

"What are you hiding?" Faramir wanted to know.

"Nothing!" Legolas said too quickly. At Aragorn's gaze, he broke down. "Okay. It's a lady, but she is unclothed, and in the bath and…"

"Unclothed?" Pippin repeated.

"In the bath?" Echoed Merry.

Eowyn looked at Legolas. "Why are you wet?"

Legolas looked down at himself frantically. "Well, I was in the bath too and…"

"In the bath?" Frodo blinked.

"With the girl?" Sam asked, impressed.

"No!" Cried Legolas. "I wasn't in the bath… Okay, I was, but not on purpose. I don't know what happened- I was just there."

"It's true." The girl said, coming up behind the elf, wrapped in a towel. "He kind of appeared from mid-air."

Suddenly, the front door slammed, making everyone jump.

"Laurel?" A voice called.

"Quick!" Hissed the redheaded girl, obviously Laurel. "Out the window and… Too late." She said, hearing the visitor coming up the stairs. Noticing that she was still only wrapped in a towel, she quickly grabbed Legolas by the hair and brought his surprised face to her own.

"There you are."
