All the elves, dwarves, hobbits, men and other creatures hurried in line. Faramir was first in line, and pointed to the salad he wanted. To Faramir's surprise, it was not Treebeard giving out the food, instead Treebeard was cooking the food.
"One salad, Treebeard."
Treebeard handed the little boy working behind the counter a salad, and the little boy handed that salad to Faramir.
"Boromir, what are YOU doing there?" Faramir asked the boy behind the counter.
"Janitor Gollum kept on screaming when I was following him so Treebeard gave me my detention here instead of in the bathrooms with Gollum." Boromir shrugged.
"I'd like an apple, three pieces of pie, two slices of pizza, three cheeseburgers, half of a cake, a cup of coffee, two salads, some kool-aid, lemonade, a cup cake, some oreos, an ice cream sandwich, a salami sandwich, a ham sandwich, a cheese sandwich, a pizza wrap, a meatball submarine sandwich from subway, two crackers, chicken soup (extra large), thirty chocolate chip cookies and a bag of pop corn please, your best popcorn." Pippin ordered. Boromir's eyes widened, and handed Pippin a large tray filled with all the food he ordered.
"Enjoy your meal!"
Pippin smiled and went to the cash. Sadly, he learnt that all he could afford with his dollar was their best popcorn. Pippin bought the popcorn, and bargained enough to get the kool-aid thrown in for free.
Sam ordered the same as Pippin, but he could afford it all (because it pays to garden, seeing as how Pippin has never done a hard days work).
Legolas and Haldir where next to each other in line, making them able to giggle and play while they waited for their turn to order food.
Sauron then came, and went up to Haldir.
"I remember you..." Sauron smirked, looking down at the terrified elfling.
"Don't hurt him you meanie!" Legolas shouted, jumpting infront of Haldir as Sauron tried to smack him. Instead, Sauron smacked Legolas across his little face and shoved him. Legolas fell onto Haldir, who fell onto Frodo. Frodo fell at the back of his head hit the corner of a metal tray rack... It was sharp metal.
Sam screamed when he say Mister Frodo's head bleeding like mad.
"Poor Frodo." Merry and Pippin whispered.
Frodo was crying quietly, and no one could blame him, for poor Frodo's head needed stitches.
Poor Glorfindel had the duty of monitoring lunch, and look Legolas, Frodo, Haldir and Sauron by their wrists and dragged them to Elendil.
"Sauron pushed Legolas and Haldir, who made Frodo fall and cut his head open. May I take them to principal Isildur's office?"
"No, sorry professor Glorfindel, but its Isildur's nap time. But I AM vice principal, so I can deal with this." Elendil said.
"So I may go back to lunch monitoring?"
"Yes."
Glorfindel left.
"All of you take a seat."
Frodo sadly took a seat, still crying and was feeling dizzy from loss of blood.
Legolas and Haldir where very scared as they sat down.
Sauron just plopped down on a wooden chair, not really caring about what would happen.
Elendil took the phone.
"Yes, could you send an ambulance? We have a hobbit with a split head. Thank you." Elendil said, putting down the phone. "Well Frodo, an ambulance is on its way to bring you to Saint Tolkien's Hospital for Hobbits. Don't worry it's nothing big. Just a few stitches and you'll be back at school in no time!" Elendil smiled. Elendil then frowned and looked at Sauron.
"You, Sauron, are suspended. Go home now."
"Yes!" Sauron left the school and headed home.
The ambulance arrived and took Frodo to Saint Tolkien's Hobbit Hospital, leaving Elendil with Haldir and Legolas.
"Now... if it was not for you two, Frodo would not have been injured.
"But-
"No buts, Mister Greenleaf. I'm calling your father right now Thranduilion, and after I will be calling your parents, Haldir."
The two elflings sadly looked at the floor, rather upset since it was not their faults.
"Hello? Thranduil Oropherion? Oh, my mistake, Lord Thranduil Oropherion. This is school calling about Legolas. Could you make it to the school in half an hour? You can? Great. We'll discus matters then." Elendil hung up. "Your father will be here in less than thirty minutes, Thranduilion." Elendil said, Legolas sadly nodding his head.
Elendil took the phone again.
"Hello? Is this Arhael, father of Haldir? Good. This is the school calling about Haldir. Could you get to the school in half an hour? You can make it in ten, great! See you then, sir." Elendil again put the phone down.
"Your fathers should be here soon, young ones. Then we will be dealing with punishments, hopefully no suspensions will be necessary."
In ten minutes, both Thranduil and Arhael entered the office and took seats beside their sons.
"Yes, Elendil, you called us?" Thranduil asked, looking down at his son who looked sad.
"Yes, I did, and it concerns your sons."
"What about them? I hope they have been behaving." Arhael said, looking down at the nervous little Lorien elf that was his son.
"Well, according to their teacher, Gandalf Istari, they behaved very well for elflings of their age-
"That surprises me. Legolas never behaves."
"Yes, well, it was at lunch that concerned me. Because of your elflings, little mister Baggins, a hobbit of the Shire, is gone to Saint Tolkien's hobbit hospital to get stitches on his head, for he was pushed by young Haldir and Legolas into a metal tray rack..." Isildur sighed as Thranduil's eyes widened.
"You pushed a hobbit, Legolas?"
"But-
"Stay silent Legolas." Thranduil ordered.
"Haldir, you are in a lot of trouble when you get home."
The two elflings now had tears in their eyes, since it still was not their faults.
"Mister... Elendil... Can we please... tell our side... of the story?" Legolas said, quiet sobs in between words.
"Yes you may. Legolas, tell your side first, then Haldir." Elendil said, looking at the small elflings who where almost in tears at the fact that their fathers where so mad at them.
"Well, Haldir and I where in line in front of Frodo. Then, Sauron came and budded. Then he tried to hit Haldir, so I jumped in front of Haldir to protect him. Sauron slapped me instead, and then he pushed me. I fell on top of Haldir, who fell on Frodo, which made Frodo hurt himself. It was not our faults." Legolas said.
"No, then it is not your fault Greenleaf. No, you where just there. HALDIR is who pushed Frodo. I am sorry Thranduil; you have no reason to be here. Legolas, you are excused and may go to lunch, as are you Thranduil. But you Haldir, we must discus your punishment. I don't want to suspend you Haldir, but I may have to give you an at school suspension since you are the cause that Frodo is getting stitches." Elendil said.
Haldir had tears down his face. Arhael's mouth hung open in shock. Legolas did not move at all, and Thranduil was down right pissed off by now: he had come to school for NO reason and now little Haldir was in trouble when really it was Sauron's fault.
"It is NOT the elfling's fault, Elendil. I may not work at this school, but from the story my son has said I believe that this young elfling is not the reason that the hobbit is getting stitches. It truly is Sauron's fault. The poor elfling is being bullied and instead of trying to help the poor kid, you are suspending him! That is a shame, I will NOT have my son, the PRINCE and one of my heirs go to such a school, and I doubt Haldir's father would like Haldir going to such a school!" Thranduil snapped, grabbing his little son by his wrist. "I have four children and Legolas is the youngest. My two eldest sons have finished school and went to this school all their life. My daughter is still being schooled here, and Legolas has just started. NEVER has any of my children been treated this way - save the time Cield set a chicken on fire - but ever since principal Tolkien retired this school has changed - for worse. I cannot fix what you are about to do to young Haldir, nor am I going to change Legolas or Illiendal's school, but still, I may just have to if you do not fix this school up..." Thranduil said fiercely. "Come on Legolas, I'll lead you to the cafeteria." Thranduil took Legolas' wrist gently and brought him to the cafeteria.
"Well... we can pretend this never involved Haldir or Legolas. Haldir, you may return to the cafeteria. Arhael, you may return home." Elendil said softly.
To be continued...
Tomorrow school starts for poor me. First time at high school, so I honestly do not know when I will be back on. Since tomorrow is the day I'd normally update, I'm updating today incase I cannot update tomorrow, and I have a day off on the first so I may be online then.
