Summary: Myself and two friends end-up in Middle-Earth and meet the fellowship. Might have some romance.
Important A/N – My twin came up with the idea and the basic plotline. This is a different version of her story, 'Children and Fellowships', written under the pen name Nathalia Potter. All credit goes to her.
High-School girls and Fellowships.
Chapter TwoThe next morning I woke up at 5:00am wondering why I wasn't in my bed, then I re-membered what had happened the day before, I lay awake for nearly one-and-a-half hours before Robin woke up, about fifteen minutes later Sophie woke up. Just as the three of us were getting up off the forest floor Gimli came over and told us that there was a stream flowing nearby if we wanted to wash up before we left to continue our journey. The three of us said accepted and went to have a stream bath. After we were finished, we got out and got dressed again
Then Sophie, Robin and I went back to where The Fellowship and the three of us had been camping last night and saw that the remaining member's of the Fellowship (except for Legolas and Gimli.) were only just waking up, it looked like Legolas and Gimli were having a quiet argument about something, (again). So that we might not have to listen to them arguing throughout the whole journey the three of us went over to try and stop the argument. As we got closer to where Legolas and Gimli were standing we managed to get their attention. "Would the two of you please stop arguing?" Robin said, "we're not taking either of your sides, but it would be really nice to reach Caras Galadhon with out suffering a huge headache from your arguing."
Sophie agreed "She's right.You are starting to act like children."
"Master dwarf, Prince of Mirkwood." I said. "I know that elves and dwarves have not gotten along well for centuries but you should not let that kind of thing keep you from being allies at times like this."
Our attempts to stop the argument appeared to have been successful, because Legolas and Gimli stopped arguing when we had finished speaking, or at least for a few minutes anyway,
"But lasses…" Gimli began to say.
"Master dwarf, do not even THINK of finishing that sentence." I said. "You are starting to remind me of my little sister when someone starts to talk about our parents before they separated."
Gimli stopped talking right then and there. As we all went back to camp Sophie asked me, "Ok, just what kind of temper do you have?"
"I do not have that kind of temper Sophie." I said. "That was just Operation: stop the argument before it gets worse, put into action,"
Sophie and Robin burst out laughing. I didn't see what was so funny. It was a perfectly good idea.
We jumped as Legolas spoke from behind us. "Well then remind me not to start arguing with the dwarf if ever either of us sets the other one off. I don't think I want to know what else the three of you might say to stop the argument next time."
All three of us blushed. I wasn't being modest, but if you want to see a temperwhen pushed too far,try my twin sister. She has got to have the longest fuse of anyone I know, but if you manage to get her mad...
When we got back we heard Gimli complaining about how Sophie, Robin and I had told him and Legolas off for arguing.
"Well it's about time someone did." Said Boromir. "For such polite maiden's the first of them really does know how to stop arguments."
"Thank you Lord Boromir. Sally, I think you should take that as a complement." Said Robin as we walked into the area where we had been camping in the night before.
"How old are the three of you anyway, and are the three of you married yet?" asked Gimli.
"Well." Said Sophie, as she, Robin, and I choked on the water we had just been drinking. "Robin is thirteen years old, Iam sixteen, and Sally willbe nineteenon the autumn equinox, and no none of us are married. Why do you ask?"
"No reason." Said Gimli "Just that a certain elf seems to have developed a secret love for the oldest of you three maiden's."
"Maybe so, and might I add thatLord Boromir seemsto have the same kind of love for one of the other two maiden's." said Legolas.
Gimli began to splutter with the beginings of another argument. I sighed with annoyence."Don't the two of you dare start arguing again." I called without looking over from where I was sitting with Sophie and Robin.
"How do you do that?" Robin asked looking at me. "Do you remember when you and Sophie weren't getting along very well at the beginning of the year?" I said.
Robin looked sheepish. "Yes."
"Well the fifth time the two of you started squabbling, I made a mental promise to try and stop the arguments before they got to bad or before they even started." I said.
Just then a group of elves came to bring us to Caras Galadhon. "I hope I do not cause offence byasking you this, my lady." Said Legolas, as we were walking and after I finished talking to Sophie, "But you said that your parents were seperated, how did that happen?"
Robin opened her mouth to speak (possibly to tell Legolas that he shouldn't have asked me that kind of thing.) I answered. "Neither of my parents died, if that is what you think, my father fell in love with another woman and left my mother, my sisters and I alone, however he still visits us sometimes."
Unfortunately, a few of the Lothlorin elves had been listening when I had answered Legolas's Question, and started to ask when it had happened. I managed to stop the flow of Questions by saying that I didn't want to repeat the story, with Sophie and Robin's help. I wished my twin was here. She had handled the seperationbest, and didn't get offended easily.
We arrived at Caras Galadton that moment, so I didn't have anymore Questions asked, so I went back to where Sophie and Robin were standing, "Legolas." I asked. "Would it be alright if Robin, Sophie, and I walked with you until we reach Caras Galadhon?"
"Of course you may." Said Legolas. "But is it because the three of you can't stand all the Questions, or because you enjoy my company?"
"Well, I don't think Robin and I can stand anymore Questions." Said Sophie. "But I'm not sure about Sally's reason's."
"My reason's are both." I said. "Now be quiet."
As we were led to the royal talen where we would meet the Lord and Lady of Light, Robin, Sophie, and I went rather pale as we looked at the flight of stairs that we would have to climb. When we all reached the royal talen Sophie and Robin looked very worn out, I however had had a lot of experience when it came to walking up large flights of stairs, (the stairs that go down to the beach at my beach house at home go up and down a cliff.) so I didn't feel to tired.
When we saw the Lord and Lady of light though I had to admit they deserved their names. While Lord Celeborn spoke to us saying that all hope that we had in secrecy was now gone, Lady Galadriel gazed at every one of us, Legolas and Aragorn were the only ones who were able to hold her gaze for more then ten seconds, when she turned to Sophie, Robin, and I.
Robin and Sophie looked down after about eight seconds, and I quickly switched my thoughts to my twin sister (who I was really starting to miss). Suddenly I heard a voice in my head "Tarry after the fellowship are shown to a place to rest, young one, for we must talk", the voice said. Judging from the looks on Sophie, and Robin's faces the voice had asked them to remain behind as well. Was this good or bad?
When the Fellowship were taken to the place where we would be resting Legolas looked at me, and I smiled, when they were gone Lady Galadriel spoke to us, again in our minds."You wonder why you were brought here into Middle-Earth, young ones!" This was more of a statement then a question.
"Yes of course we do." said Robin. "Why are we here anyway? We are not that strong, we are no great lore-master's, and we do not know how to fight, what can we do to help in this war?."
"You ask so many questions, young one, and yet so many of those questions can not be answered." said Lady Galadriel.
"Even if the forces of good win this war." I said. "How will we even manage to get home, for even if we stay after this war is over we would need clothes that we are used to wearing, besides the ones we have on now, and our families are most likely out of their minds with worry."
"No one knows if you can go back to your world forever after this war ends." Said Lady Galadriel. "And even if you were you would only be able to spend a short time there, then you would have to return to middle-earth when that time is up."
Forgive me for asking this my Lady." I said. "But is it alright if we go back to the fellowship now?"
"Of course." Said Lady Galadriel. "For I believe that the three of you must be tired, and I also believe that a certain elf from Mirkwood would like seeing one of you."
I muttered a stream of less than polite words as we left. Was it really that obvious? I hadn't had a serious relationship with a boy for years.
As we walked back to where the Fellowship and us would be resting Sophie asked. "You fancy Legolas, don't you."
"What makes you think that Sophie?" I asked, trying not to blush. Please let her have just guessed at this....
"Oh come on I've seen the way that the two of you look at each other, don't think I don't know why." Said Sophie.
"Alright, alright." I said. "I do fancy him, but don't you and Robin dare tell anyone, alright."
"Ok." Said Sophie and Robin together. "We won't tell anyone."
When we got to the place that the Fellowship and the three of us would be resting, we saw that the Hobbits were attempting to restrain Gimli, and Boromir and Aragorn were desperately trying to hold Legolas back,
"What is going on here." Asked Robin. Well, bellowed really. It was quite impressive.
"Thank the valar the three of you finally got here, Gimli told Legolas that there was no way that he would ever gain the love of your friend, Lady Sally. And that put Legolas in to a very bad temper, and now we're stuck trying to stop them from killing each other." Said Aragorn.
"Well I think that Gimli is wrong about…." Sophie was cut off from finishing her sentence by Gimli's voice shouting, "The day that Lady Sally falls in love with you master elf, is the day that the Steward of Gondor surrender's the rule of Gondor to Aragorn."
This, of course, was followed by Legolas's voice yelling, "I should think I have a fair chance then."
"Looks like you have another argument to stop, Sally." Said Robin.
"If they started arguing over whether or not I would fall in love with either of them then it looks like the secret I asked the two of you to keep didn't stay a secret for long did it." I snapped, cursing under my breath as I started walking over to Legolas and Gimli.
