Chapter 12: Gondorian Idol

Legolas' eyes stayed glued to the television as Gondorian idol started.

"I really don't understand how Legolas can stand watching people sing horribly and listen to Simon Cow, Paul Abdully and Randy Jack laugh at them." Cield said, and then Thranduil elbowed him.

"Don't say that, this is Legolas' favourite show." Thranduil snapped quietly in Cield's ear.

"Sorry but-

"No. Don't make another rude comment." Thranduil snapped, then all the men in the room turned to the television as a pretty she-elf was trying out for gondorian idol.

"She's one good looking she-elf... I'd-

"Cield!" Firelien slapped Cield and Nenmir looked up at his red-faced father.

"I thought it was bad to hit." Nenmir said, looking at his parents, being very confused.

"Your nana had a reason to hit me."

"Why?"

"You'll understand one day."

"When?"

"Soon."

"How long is soon?"

"Some thousand years."

"I cant wait that long!"

"Okay, I will tell you now."

Cield bent forwards and whispered something in Nenmir's ear. Nenmir still looked confused.

"Nana, ada said that you hit him because the purple pandas are forming an alliance with the purple chickens. Is that true?"

"Yes." Firelien shrugged.

"Okay." Nenmir turned around to see the television as they where announcing the name of the pretty she-elf.

"Very nice singing Luthien." Paul clapped her hands (yes, Paul is a girl).

"Beren is very lucky to have a wife with such a nice voice!" Randy Jack smiled.

"I hate it. You did not do enough hand gestures and your face looked sad. You clearly forgot to put on deodorant, your lipstick is smudged and your eyeliner is smeared. You sounded way to nervous, and the gothic look is just too much!"

"I'm wearing grey! And my hair is naturally black!"

"No, it's black. Ad the lipstick is too dark red. You're horrible. Go away!"

Simon shooed Luthien away.

"Oh, there goes Luthien." Legolas smiled sadly.

"Next is lord Glorfindel." Randy Jack told Simon Cow.

"Oh goodie. Someone who thinks he's is a lord. This guy will be easy to pick on." Simon grinned evilly.

A naked Glorfindel entered the room. Luckily for the folk who where watching at home (such as Legolas and his family) they had blurred out certain areas of Glorfindel that would have made the show R rated.

"Where are your clothes?" Randy Jack asked suddenly.

"I did not like the choices they had in my dressing room. Everyone knows that yellow is so age one," Glorfindel pointed out. "And since they refused to let me wear my blue robes I decided to wear nothing at all." Glorfindel finished. Glorfindel sang 'In da club' by 50 Mithril. Simon liked him despite his wardrobe malfunction, but Randy Jack and Paul Abdully did not so Glorfindel had to go back to teaching.

"Supper is ready." Thranduil said. "Besides, we have seen enough Glorfindel for one night."

"That is very true." Cield said, standing up and grabbing both his elflings.

"Come on you two, let's go eat." Cield smiled. Legolas sat on the floor until his father turned the television off and Thranduil scooped him up off the floor.

"You are also going to eat, even if you eat like a little slug."

"I like slugs. They're squishy and slimy."

"Yes, I do remember you coming home covered in very squishy slugs that decided to go on me." Thranduil shuddered.

Thranduil gently dropped Legolas on his chair.

-----------In a little hobbit's hole

"Hi dad, I'm home!" Pippin screeched as he ran into his small cozy hobbit hole.

"Hello Peregrin." Paladin opened his arms to embrace his son, who crashed into his and knocked him over in excitement.

"Careful Pippin!" Paladin picked the young hobbit up and carried him to a sink, where Pippin washed his small hands.

"What?" Pippin asked his father since Paladin's eyes where fixed on his son.

"Well I am waiting for you to tell me all about your day!" Paladin smiled, taking his son's hand and bringing him to his bedroom, where Pippin sat on his father's lap to tell him about his day.

"I had fun," Pippin said proudly. "And Merry was there."

"What a surprise..." Paladin muttered.

"It was a surprise!" Pippin giggled.

"Was Sam and cousin Frodo there?"

"Yes. Sam gained weight over the summer!"

"Oh really? How heavy is he now?"

"I believe he's hit 200 pounds!" Pippin smiled.

"200 pounds! When I was his age I was a mere 100 pounds! His parents must be proud to have such a fine, plump little hobbit boy."

"I'm not plump. Do you still love me?" Pippin asked, looking up at his father with watery eyes.

"Of course I still love you! However, where does your food go? You eat enough for a hole of hobbits and yet you never seem to gain a pound! How heavy are you anyways Pippin?"

"39 pounds. Mommy says I'll be 40 pounds soon enough." Pippin grinned.

"Still, it's strange how skinny you are for a hobbit!"

"I'm not as skinny as Legolas. He looks like he's not been fed his second breakfast or his afternoon tea!"

"Well, that's elves for you. They watch their weight, drink Slim fast and they model in bikinis in magazines."

"Glorfindel modeled in a bikini once. Erestor told me so." Pippin smiled.

Paladin gave no reply.

"Daddy I'm hungry, very hungry. Will we be having mushrooms tonight?"

"No, I believe your mother has prepared you some macaroni and cheese. Why don't we go see if the food is ready?" Paladin asked.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Pippin ran to the dinner table where there was some rabbit for Paladin and Eglantine (Pippin's mother), chicken nuggets for Pearl, Pervinca and Pimpernel (them being Pippin's sisters), easy-to-make-in-five-minutes macaroni and cheese (with mushrooms in it to the delight of Pippin) and of course there was also a hamburger from Mc Moria for Herman the hobo. Pippin took his seat, which was in between Herman the hobo and Paladin.

Pippin had thirteen servings of macaroni and cheese, all the times with mushrooms.

To be continued...

Mambo Dancer: It's fun to make people laugh, especially people that are lord of the rings dorks like me. I like lord of the rings dorks, so remember everyone: being called a lord of the rings dork is one big compliment, unless you're an anti-lord of the rings dork, because that is bad.

Moonyasha: Oi, poor Legolas does get that honour. I can send him to you. Look for the thing covered in stamps, I don't know how many is required to send an elf to you so I'll just stamp-coat him.

Kathysidle: I love Cield, so he had to visit.

Invader 101: Then go read 115 chapters of Haldir's here. How fun!

InterstellarHobbit: I like padded walls. The people in the white suits said that they are there for my protection. I like the people in the white suits. They gave me a white suit. They keep in a soft padded room that's white. The white suited people give me lollipops when I'm good. The white suited people do not approve of this crazy story. The white suited people take he to the padded room every day. They call the place with the white padded room the 'institution'. Some days they let me have visitors, like Legolas. The people in the white suits cant see Legolas, but I can. They think I'm crazy. They think I need to move into the institute, but if I did they wont let me bring Legolas.

Haldir's Heart and Soul: Erestor, you are loved. I am going to go give Erestor a hug...

Starlit jewel: I like big deer. If Gimli is hungry he can eat the leg, which would last him a few years.

Ms.Unknown: You mean your story?

Southerngirl4615: Well, they can gang up on him after Haldir gets beat up... But, they can probably beat him up in the sequel (I like sequels), although Haldir will first have to punch I cant tell you who in the face... Poor I cant tell you who.

Lombadia Greenleaf: Darth Vader Monkey wants to know if this chocolate contains milk. Darth Vader monkey is lactose intolerant.

Laer4572: Cield was surprised too. He thought only one was suppose to come out. But Cield secretly favours his son. But it's not his fault; after all he's not the greatest father on earth... yet. But just wait until you hear what Cield has to say in the next chapter!
