(looks at reviews) O_O Whoa you guys have outdone yourselves this time, hehehe. That is a whole forking lot of reviews in a short amount of time! You all rock!
Disclaimer: I don't own stuff. I DO own Celestina, though. But if you ask me very very nicely, you may borrow her. ^_^
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Carrie burst out the door into the sunlight and looked around frantically. No sign of psycho, jealous fictional characters anywhere. He must have already headed to WSU Carrie broke into a run, trying not to succumb to the panicked thoughts rushing through her brain. He would get hit by a car, he would be arrested, he would kill Joey and kidnap Randi into the bluffs, and he was already well ahead of her, he must be
'Now, wait a minute,' a quiet, sensible voice in the back of Carrie's mind piped up. 'Let's just think for a bit, here. Does Legolas know where Randi is? No. Even if he remembers that she talked about WSU, does he know where THAT is? No. And are his senses so keen that he can track people over asphalt? Doubtful. So, where could he really be?'
Carrie slowed down to a jog, then abruptly turned around, just in time to catch a bit of blonde hair disappearing behind a tree that she had passed moments ago. Aha! Carrie shook her head and grinned. She had to hand it to the elf; despite being woefully OOC, he had still managed to be somewhat clever.
Randi's roomy strolled back to the tree and peeked behind it. No elf. Carrie blinked, then looked up. "Why don't you come on down from there?" She called up into the foliage. There was a muffled curse, and then a somewhat-disheveled and embarrassed-looking Legolas dropped onto the ground.
Carrie smirked. "That was clever of you."
"If I had been more clever, you would not have noticed me," Legolas said ruefully. Then his expression turned slightly desperate. "Will you lead me to her? Please?"
"I'm not stupid," the girl replied, shaking her head. "You'll shoot her boyfriend, and then she'll be all upset with you."
"I would not," Legolas objected, though the knuckles on the hand gripping his bow turned white at the word "boyfriend."
"You would so. Look, no offense or anything, but she really doesn't want to talk to you right now."
"I want to talk with her," Legolas said pleadingly. "She must be under some kind of enchantment, to be with with him"
Carrie sighed. "She isn't under any enchantment. Look, Legolas, she just doesn't love you" the elf's face fell, " like that," Carrie quickly amended. She didn't really want to give the elf any hope that Randi would ever reciprocate his feelings, since she was fairly positive that would never happen. Then again, she didn't want to forking destroy him, either. It wasn't his fault he was a complete, lovesick moron. "Come on, let's go back to the dorm room before you see anything worth shooting." Carrie turned and walked purposefully back towards the dorm. Legolas trailed dejectedly behind her.
*~*~*
Carrie was uncomfortable again. This time, he wasn't pacing. He was sitting on the futon staring listlessly into space. Every now and then he would heave a monstrous sigh or sniffle a little bit. Finally, Carrie slammed her book shut.
"Hey, Legolas, do you like magic?"
"What kind of magic?" Legolas asked warily.
"The television kind," Carrie said, turning on the T.V. Legolas jumped several feet off the futon and reached for his knives. "Don't you forking DARE, pretty-boy. It won't hurt you; just sit back and enjoy." She flipped through the channels, looking for something harmless. Hmm Spongebob might just frighten him better stick with National Geographic. That was educational. "Here, watch this. You just might learn something about the habits of spider monkeys."
"Spider monkeys?" Legolas repeated faintly, looking at the screen as if the monkeys might jump out and start gnawing on his ankles at any moment.
"Spider monkeys," Carrie repeated. "Look, they can't hurt you." She rapped on the screen a few times before Legolas grabbed her and dragged her away.
"Are you mad?" He snapped, staring fearfully as the narrator droned about social grooming. "You'll anger them!"
"What, the monkeys?" Carrie laughed. "It's an illusion. They aren't actually IN the T.V." To prove her point, she strolled back up to the screen, waggled her hands, and screeched, "BOOLABOOLABOOLA!" The monkeys continued stealing sunflower seeds from tourists as it nothing had happened.
Ten minutes later, Legolas was channel surfing merrily. He would occasionally come across a channel with cartoons or a gunfight of some kind, and would drop the remote, shriek, and hide behind the futon until Carrie changed the channel. He ended up finding "The Mists of Avalon," and watching that for some time, despite Carrie's grumbling about incest and babies with arms growing out of their heads.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Maybe not the best place to cut off, but oh well. ^_^ Oh, and to give credit where credit is due I am saddened to say that the G-string incident was the roomy's idea but let that serve as proof to all of you that nothing I do to her or her underthings happens without her prior approval.
Writer From Rivendell: Sporfles? That's a new one! :D Thanks so much!
blahblah: Hehehe, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a bunch!
Morning Mist: Yes, I'm alive, hehehe! Yeah, Celestina is a wily one
Tabby Kitten: Well, at the time of my posting, I only had a few. Then they started breeding. Glad you're enjoying it!
The Weaseling Dragon: (grabs a pen and starts to write) Don't eat yellow snow. Got it! Thanks! :P
tangerine-o's: And the plot thickens! I guess the elvish girls don't wear G-strings in ME. How strange of them. ^_^
Phaidra: It was quite a nice room, wasn't it? And as to Randi having to explain things to her boyfriend (shifty eyes)
Huinesoron: I don't know! I DON'T KNOW! As I said, I think they just started breeding but I'm just as astonished as everyone else who mentioned it. But thanks!
JondyX5210: The showdown has been postponed, hehehe. And luckily, Legolas didn't get too far or Carrie didn't get too far before realizing what the elf was up to. Don't die! LIVE! Hehehe.
Landos Star: Yep, I'm back and ready to roll! And I feel GREAT!
CrazedElfStalker: Uh oh. Are you okay? :P Leggy is back too bad he isn't back to normal.
Skimbleshanks, the Railway CAT: I DON'T KNOOOWWW!!! But thanks for saying I deserve them, hehe. Yeah, some of my author alerts haven't been working, either. What's up with that?!
The Lost Guava: So many people are injuring themselves maybe I ought to post a few boring chapters nahhh ;-)
Tashilover: Okay, I saw innuendo in The Secret Garden because it is THERE! And I will never respond to the name "online perverted reviewer," hehehe. But hey, there are MONKEYS in this chapter! WOOT!
PineAppleLint: CAKE! WOO! It's funny, because if you were seeing a G-string for the very first time, you probably would not think that it was an article of clothing. Thanks a bundle!
polynesia: Of course I remember you! I don't just forget people who stab me, y'know ;-) Yes, he's a very angry puppy, and then a very depressed puppy. But thanks to the wonders of technology, he is now a very occupied puppy. HUZZAH!
levanna: Aww, thanks! I'm glad it's back, too. I had barely finished the first one and I missed it!
Tanquessiel: Well, I never said that Ed WOULDN'T show up
Anne Miliardo: YAY PPC! Bad Legolas, indeed. And your readers would never give up on you! They were all just waiting patiently in the wings they should come crawling out, blinking in the sunlight like cave creatures any time now
Roseblade22: Carrie is most certainly NOT me (shifty eyes) Don't tell anyone, hehe! And Legolas won't kill Joey, and he will most likely NOT be hooking up with Carrie, since that would destroy the fic's integrity. ;-)
Anna: Tighten your G-string (snicker) And of course I appreciate Hugo Weaving! Who doesn't? Thanks for telling me not to stress, hehehe.
crouching-dragon: No violence in my fics, none at all anyway, no death. Hehehe. Yeah, he is!
AAR Rocks My Socks: Once again with the violence hehehe. Thanks!
rice kristi: Your name rocks! Hee! I love wordplay! And thanks!
pervyBoromirfancier: There is no such thing as a terrible reader! I love you all! (hugs!)
Mirrowa: If I ever decide that I actually have the time to do an RPG, it will be yours! I checked it out and it looked interesting, I just don't think I'd be able to post very often on top of all the other stuff I have to do. (twitch) Stupid crazy profs
Mireiswen: I did read your story! BUNNY! Yeah, pervy!Legolas what have I done
dragon empress: You probably feel even sorrier for him now. Unrequited love is so tragic, muahaha! Thanks!
Coolio02: Luckily for Legolas, the tallest building in this little town is 13 stories. It's not much compared to Minas Tirith, hehehe. Thanks a bunch!
Nancing Nobody: Well, considering where the college is the chances of meeting Orlando are pretty damn slim. The chances of meeting ANYONE famous are pretty slim except for maybe Al Franken.
Evil Midget Girl: Thanks a bunch! Yeah, I just wanted to start the sequel, so I did! WOOT! Glad you like it!
Lucki Me: Flip flops I have to make notes! Hehehe! Yeah, a Taco Bell WOULD be puzzling to the poor guy. "Why do they call it the border when it is here in the middle of town?" And Ed MIGHT make an appearance. I haven't decided yet.
Ushmushmeifa: Glad that people are reading and enjoying it! Thanks a ton!
Satara: Apple juice as strange as this may sound, I totally understand.
DiamondTook3: Joey is safe for the moment! Another crisis averted by Carrie, the wonderroomy!
SailorKatoChan: He probably is in for it, eventually muahahahaha!
SiriusAboutMarauders: Yay! Hehe, thanks so much! Yeah, I want to know what will happen, too probably a duel. "Do you bite your thumb at me?!"
mIsUnDeRsToOdGnOmE: Well, it could, if you were really, really sick never mind. I don't want to think about it. WATERSHIP DOWN! WOOOOO!
Kath: Hmmm I guess it was the cutout, but without the Elmo hands, tragically. And Ed had to borrow a pencil today in Shakespeare, so I took his soul in return so technically, I DO own him! MUAHAHAHAHHAAAA! And what do you mean, my characterization of myself? (shifty eyes) SHHHH! SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW! Hehehe.
GamgeeFest: Huzzah for drabblings! Hehe, don't hurry just for me! I can wait I have enough other reading to do that I probably shouldn't be on ff.net at all oh well! So many layers to Leggy's character that I had no idea were there
Rachel the Insane Unicorn: Hehehehe, thanks! :-P
BurningTyger: I want that dress. Hehehe. Just practice the name a few times, and it will come back to you! Lith-ear-ee-en-en-alleluia-cara-beth-iel-awen!
Caoimhe: Aww, why do you hate reviewing? Authors LOVE hearing from their readers, even if it is just a few lines! :-D Glad you like it!
Natasha Woods: And to think, I never knew how insane you truly are eggses, my preciousssssssss we likes eggses
MetalKatt: Yes, this ought to be interesting, hehehe. And Celestina IS like that but don't say it too loud, or she'll get "testy" again
Ashley Weber: Hehehe, the roomy thinks it is all hilarious! As I said before, I run every idea by her first, and generally read her the chapters before I post them. Not this one, though but she's not in it, so it's okay! Hehehe, I'm so glad my fanfics have had a lasting impact on your life! Thanks so much!
Lifidia: Hehehe, now there are THREE chapters! Wow! :P I love the soundtrack. Love it, love it, love it.
Lady Laswen: Yeah, ending it was so sad! But now you have more OOC-Leggy goodness! Woo hoo!
Megan Sleevewillow: Carrie lives! And sadly, SHE is going to end up having to deal with him for the majority of the fic, bwahahahaha.
Eowyn of Ithilien: I hope Ed can return, too
