I patted Ambar's neck as I packed him up to depart from Helm's Deep. There wasn't much for me to pack though, considering almost everything I needed was in my backpack. I sighed as I saddled and mounted Ambar, and he whinnied as I dug my knees into his side, then we galloped to Aragorn.

"Where we going?" I asked.

"To Edoras, but we're going to make a stop in Isengard first. I am glad to see you happy, Lorwen." He replied. Happy? Was just not crying his idea of happy? I hadn't smiled all day. I sighed. Since we weren't leaving immeaditly, I began to take the long path from the keep to the wall. I wanted to walk along the wall for some time, and just be alone for awhile. The wind whipped my hair all over my face. I wished now more then ever to have a good hair thing to pull it back with (Que sighs).

Leggo was up there too, he looked like he was deep in thought. Perfect time to interrupt and be annoying again. I hadn't been truly annoying to the trio since Ele left. I reached out to tickle him in the sides and then next thing I knew, I had been grabbed, turned around, and pinned to the wall, with a dagger at my neck.

"Valar, Lorwen! Don't do that." He said. I nervously pushed his arm off. "I hadn't been thinking clearly, I could've hurt you, so don't ever sneak up on me like that again." He lectured. I swear I was so close to taking my hand and making a little mimicking Lego puppet out of it, but I stopped my self short.

"Sorry, Sorry, I was just trying to do this!" I said, and began to tickle him unmercifully. He laughed, and then I knew if you tickled them just right, elves could laugh hysterically. This was a historic moment, Legolas Greenleaf laughing his head off. I whipped my backpack off my shoulders, and plucked out my Polaroid camera (of DOOM!), snapping a shot of Lego bent over, his face red with him laughing so hard. He blinked confusedly after the flash.

"What was that!" He exclaimed. The photo slipped out of my camera.

"It's a magical item Legolas dearie. I aim it at you, and it takes a portrait, except it looks totally lifelike." I explained, flicking the picture so it dried quicker. After a few inquisitive looks from Lego, I gave him the picture, but only after quickly autographing it with a blue gel pen.

"It's amazing.." Legolas said.

"Yeppers." I replied.

"How does it work?" He asked.

"Erm..." I didn't really know, so I began to make up this story about a race of short people ,much like hobbits except for their hair was blue and their skin orange. They were called the Faboozeles, and I came up with this wild story about how they invented the camera. Legolas laughed.

"Did you come up with that yourself?" He asked.

"Yes.." I said blushing. The annoyingly smart (or should I say educated crys? raises eyebrows inside joke!) Elf had known I was making it up. Curses. He laughed again. I Curse him, along with all of Middle Earth. Hah!

I heard someone walking up to us, and I turned around to find Eowyn coming my way

"Feuyaer" I muttered under my breath. It meant disgusting human. Legolas made a face, almost like he was going to laugh, but he held it back.

"I am so sorry about Haldir, My lady" She said. I felt all my happiness drain away. Why did she have to mention Haldir now, when I had actually been happy? Legolas raised his eyebrows to see how I would react. I opened my mouth to argue with her when-

"Legolas, Ladies, We must depart!" Aragorn said, saving me. I will forever love Mr. Bubbles after this, eh?

"I'll catch up to you guys!" I shouted back, and the rode across the battlefield. Everyone began to pour out the entrance, while I rode the opposite way. On the battlefield, bodies were scattered here and there, never to be put to rest in a rightful place.

Well, that wasn't going to happen to Haldir. I found his body, and slowly picked it up. (A/n Elves bodies decompose lots slower then human bodies, so it wasn't that gross to touch him, Thank God) It was heavy, but I finally got it on Ambar. Then I jumped up behind it, and rode back through the hole in the wall to catch up with the trio, Eomer, and King Theo.

"Hey, I'm back. So, how far's it to Isengard?" I asked casually. Aragorn looked down at Haldir's body, and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, that." I said. "Er...I'm just taking him to Fangorn. It doesn't seem right to leave him out in the battlefield, he deserves to be buried in the forest, where his heart really is. I wish we could've buried him in Lorien instead though..." I said. Legolas (a true elf) nodded in approval, and Aragorn said something about how he wished all of the elves could be buried with their honor for their bravery on the field, if not everyone who fell.

"It is but a day or two's ride to Isengard." Replied Eomer.

"Good. I can't wait to see if Sauruman's fate end's up like in the movie or the books..." I said. Everyone looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders. "Nothing.." I continued.

We made camp that night, just on the hills of Rohan. I laid out my blankets by the fellowship's, but far enough I would get to be alone, well, at least until Eowyn walked over to annoy me again.

"Good Evening my lady." She said.

"What, come to talk about you burning love for Aragorny-poo? Or did you remember he's a married man?" I told her angrily. I never liked her in the books or movies either.

"I'm sorry to bother you. Please forgive me." She said, her eyes got all teary.

"No, I'm sorry for getting all mad at you. You can come over and visit with me anytime." I said, knowing I was being kind, but I was going to regret it later. Eowyn was like my little sister Sierra, I realized. Annoying, yet just a girl who needs help. Also my little sister practically loved Aragorn, but could never have him either. This was a weird, weird coincidence. Wait until Eleanor hears this! Heh heh.

Eowyn walked off, and I reached into my backpack to find my Gap athletic pants to wear to bed tonight, but instead my hand found my new stereo that I had just gotten for Christmas! I shouted out with joy, pulling it out to see what CD I had left in it, and what I had in my backpack. Hm, Simple Plan, Linkin Park, Yellowcard, and somehow my little sister's CD of party jams (you know, the ones with YMCA and stuff?)

I closed my eyes and did a guess pick, throwing them all into my backpack and drawing one out. Of course, Simple Plan came out. Luckily, I had batteries in my backpack to throw in the stereo, and soon Simple Plan was blaring from the speakers. Legolas walked over, a look of utter disgust on his face.

"What is that noise!" He shouted over 'Welcome to My Life'. I laughed and turned it down.

"It's music, my man!" I said back. I turned it back up and began to dance wildly to it. Everyone in camp now was staring at me.

"That's no music..." Legolas grumbled.

"'Tis in my realm. You're too picky Lego." I replied. He just sighed, and tried to cover his ears. I showed sympathy, and took out Simple Plan, replacing it with The Two Towers soundtrack. I played Rohan's Theme, and everyone began to actually enjoy the music. Curses these boring peoples. I retrieved my pants, and changed into them under my covers. Then I closed my eyes, I was hoping I would doze off tonight. .

Well, so much for that. Five hours later, and I still didn't sleep a wink. Curses this Elvisheyness! Legolas and three or four of the Elves that had survived Helm's Deep were wandering around, keeping guard for those who did have to sleep.

Once again, we were on the edge of Fangorn. I got up (and also once again my athletic pants were more like capris) and tried to listen to the forest. There was still some distrust in it, but there was also content, for Sauruman was now defeated.

I heard someone walking up to me, so I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw Legolas sneaking up on me. No one sneaks on Danielle without getting hurt! I turned around, this time putting my own dagger to his throat, and grabbing his wrist with which he was going to grab me with. He looked surprised.

"Thought you would try to get me back for earlier, huh, Elf boy? Well it ain't happening, k?" I said. .

"Erm, No. I was just going to ask you without waking up every human in the camp if you wanted to work watch with us.." Legolas said.

"Well, it's good to see you're not being sexist now, isn't it Lego Darling." I replied. "Sure I'll take watch." I jogged back to my little camp area thing and retrieved my bow, quiver, and knives, then went over and stood by a bunch of elves I didn't know.

I tried to make conversation, I really did! But it was like trying to talk to a rock.

"So...Rohan's a nice place...Where are you from?" I asked a tall dark haired elf.

"I am from Lorien, like all the elves that fought" He replied. Ah, yes. I do remember that fact. I think...

"Er...Yeah. Do you have name?" I asked him.

"Yes, My lady. It is Aduial, son of Baran" He replied. His name meant Evening, and his fathers name meant Golden Brown. Interesting.

"Nice name." I commented. This was getting boring. The sun was beginning to rise in the east, then I heard a shout.

"Everyone awake! The sun rises in the east, we must leave!" Gandalf shouted. Everyone was up and on their horses in ten minutes, packed up and ready to go. Well, except for me.

"What about coffee? I need coffee!" I complained.

"There is no time for..er. coffee." Legolas said.

"You don't even know what it is, you mamba jamba of an elf!" I said at him. I was in a very very bad mood. Legolas looked a little hurt. Serves him right, denying me coffee. I got into my backpack, and behold! I found a little package of instant coffee mix.

"I need boiling water and a cup!" I shouted, waving the little packet around wildly. Eomer pointed to where a fire was burning, an iron pot over it.

"Yay!" I said with pure joy. After my coffee was assembled, I drank it down before you could say "Orlando Bloom".

"Erm.. I'll catch up with you guys..again!" I said after the others, and they just nodded and rode off. One of the horseman was about to leave, when I grabbed him and asked him for a shovel. He nodded, and walked to a horse who had all these bags and junk on it. From one of the bags he removed a shovel. I thanked him, and he ran to catch up with everyone else.

I went over to Ambar, and heaved Haldir's body off of him. I struggled, but I made it into Fangorn, and smiled when I found the perfect place, beneath a big, thick tree. I went back, grabbed the shovel, and half an hour later I had dug a hole deep enough to completely cover the body. I then lowered Haldir into it, and then, for some reason, I thought of Boromier, and took his sword, put it in his right hand, and I took my necklace off of his neck, and put it in his left hand.

I then left a small note using some light green stationary from my backpack, and left a note telling anyone who found this body to please leave it in peace, that way thousands of years from now, they wont put his body into a museum ("where children can gawk at us and go 'look at the stupid elf who didn't make it', and then be put onto coffee mugs and t-shirts and mouse pads, and I guess that would be cool, but I want him to rest, Sam!" Inside joke, I then kissed his lips, but they were cold. Then I began to fill the dirt back in, and after that was done, I took out a bottle of spray paint (don't ask, the backpack of d00m has everything!) And marked the tree with a single blue dot, so at least I knew where it was.

Then I jumped on Ambar, and he galloped at full speed to catch up with everyone, even though it still took fifteen minutes to get there.

"Hey." I said to everyone.

"Hey?" Eomer asked. Boy, was he going to regret saying that in a few minutes. I began to chatter on and on about the different greetings my people use. Twenty minutes later, Aragorn had ridden beside me, and then in a flash, I was tied to my horse and gagged.

"Mph!" I shouted, at them, obviously cursing them. Everyone laughed, and I rolled my eyes. When we approached Isengard, they finally took my bindings off.

"Lle naa haran e' nausalle (You are a king only in your imagination)" I hissed at Aragorn.He gave me a look of confusion. I laughed, and trotted to Legolas.

"Welcome, Lords ("and Ladies!" I shouted in) to Isengard!" Merry said. Yay! I thought. We had made it through the creepy forest without being stomped on by angry ents! Pip was asleep, but Merry was digging his foot into Pip's side to wake him up.

Gimli went on to complain about how we had been searching for them for ages and now we find them drinking and smoking. I just shook my head, laughing, and ran up to them, hugging them both. (In a sisterly way you PHF's!)

"Where's the food? I'm starving for something other then Twinkies and Lembas bread (Twinkies were all I could find in my pack.)" I said. Gandalf went with Treebeard to "settle some matters", so after we all ate, and Gandy and Theo weren't back yet, I just hung around with everyone. Gimli, Aragorn, and the Hobbits were smoking, but since I know smoking causes lung cancer, and Legolas was an elf (his breath smells of flowers, I bet! He's so pure..all the elves are, well, cept for me!), we just stared at the sky in boredness.

"Isn't there anything to do!" I complained, "Doesn't Sauruman have, like, chess or something?"

"Chess?" Aragorn asked.

"Oh, wait. Forgot. It's nothing all of you primitive people can understand.." I said, sticking my tounge out.

"Primitive?" Legolas said.

"Si, Amigo. Primitive. In other words, undeveloped and low tech. Where I come from, we are at the height of technological thinginess!..." and on and on.

"Come, it is time to see Sauruman!" Gandalf shouted, and Legolas gave out a sigh of relief. I gulped, knowing that if this was anything like the movie, I was going to puke in about five minutes, because when Sauruman falls off that tower, it even made me queasy just in the movie! I hopped onto Ambar, and we rode in single file to Orthanac.
