Chapter 6

Molly reported for work the next day. Since Elrond came to life, she looked forward to coming in and didn't dread punching a clock for the first time in a long time. She had arrived early to relieve Michael.

"Hey girlfriend!" He said as he greeted his favorite fag hag.

"Hey Mikey." She answered.

Michael noticed that Molly had a smile on her face. She hadn't smiled like that in a long time.

"My, you are chipper this evening. Did you finally get some?"

"No!" Molly answered.

"Well I was wondering because I haven't seen you smile like that in a long time girl."

"Well I did meet someone."

"Oh girl! Spill it! Inquiring minds want to know!" Michael's tone was quite persistent.

"Well he's very nice and he's sort of new here."

"So is he hot?"

Molly blushed.

"Well yeah."

"Well how come you haven't fucked him yet?"

"Michael!"

"Well?"

"We just met."

"So tell me, what does he look like?" Michael inquired.

"He's very attractive, and he has the prettiest blue eyes a girl could get lost in for hours."

"He does sound sexy. So when do I get to meet this new mystery man?"

Molly had to think for a moment, it would seem awkward for her to lead her friend to exhibit where Elrond was and introduce him. He would think she had really lost her mind.

"Well he's very shy." Molly told him.

"I'll bet. Maybe you can bring him to RingCon." Michael suggested.

"We'll see." She told him.

They said their good nights and Michael finally left the building, leaving her to do her rounds and finally spend time with Elrond alone. She reached the exhibit where she spied him sitting on a stool and reading The Hobbit. He closed the book and looked in her direction.

"Good evening Molly." His voice was pleasant as he spoke.

"Hello, I see you're reading the book I let you borrow. What do you think of it?"

"It's actually quite accurate. It was like this J.R.R. Tolkien had a looking glass into our world by the way he wrote this."

"I enjoyed reading about it as a kid. His books were quite escape for me and in some ways they still are."

"Really? What were you trying to escape from?" Elrond asked her.

"I'm in a relationship where the guy I was going to marry changed for the worse. He just moved out and I'm happy that he's gone but yet I'm sad."

"Why would he move out?"

Molly let out a deep sigh and started to speak.

"He found religion."

"Religion? You mean he believes in something else and put it above your love for him?"

"Yep. He wouldn't even make love to me anymore until we were married."

At that moment she realized what she had just said and started to blush, she couldn't believe she was telling him about her now defunct sex life. Elrond just sat there unfazed by what she had just shared with him.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have told that much information." She apologized.

"I think that the man you're going to marry is a fool for not giving you the affection you desire." He told her in an understanding tone.

"Yeah, I guess."

"I would never deny the woman I was with if she wanted to make love. I would do it gladly because I love her and I know that she would love me in return. Your future husband sounds like a prude to me." He gave her a slight smile as he spoke.

As they sat there and she stared into his deep blue eyes, she imagined him taking her in his arms and kissing her passionately on the lips. She pictured him in her mind as his hands traveled down her body as he slowly unbuttoned her shirt, undressing her. She snapped back to reality.

"Molly?" It was Elrond.

"Oh yeah."

"You seemed off in your own world for a moment. Did I say something to offend you?"

"Oh no," She reassured him. "You didn't offend me."

"I'm glad."

"I wish there was a way I can show you the world outside of this museum." She told him.

"From what you have told me I am quite curious."

"I'll tell you what, tomorrow is my day off. I'll sneak in and bust you out."

"Isn't that risky?"

"Well it can be. So are you in?"

"Alright I'm in then." Elrond told her.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then."

It was time for Molly to clock out and Elrond bid her goodbye until the next day. The evening Molly had went through some of Gene's old clothes. A dress shirt, a pair of pants, boxers and shoes as well as a scarf to tie his hair, his pointed ears would surely give him away as not being from around there.

Finally it was time to leave. She reached the museum at precisely the time that guard would finish their rounds for the evening. Molly snuck inside and made her way to exhibit where Elrond would be waiting for her.

"Hello Molly." Elrond said as he greeted her with a smile.

"Hey there. I brought some clothes. I hope they fit." She told him as she handed him the bundle.

He unfolded the pants and looked at them strangely.

"What are these?" He asked her.

"They're called pants." She explained.

"Oh I see." Elrond nodded.

And then he proceeded to take off his robes, Molly quickly turned around so that she could give him some privacy as he changed his attire. She could not help but peek out of the corner of her eye.

'Oh my God!' She thought. 'He has got a killer body on him!'

She looked at his slender naked body for a second and then quickly averted her eyes again.And to her surprise, he was anatomically correct in more ways than one.

Elrond looked at the boxer shorts.

"Strange undergarment." He said.

Those are called boxer shorts. You put those on under your pants."

"Ah I get it now." Elrond answered as he slipped them on.

Molly turned around to see Elrond in his boxers.

"Do you need any help?" She asked.

"I could use some assistance." He answered.

Elrond then put his pants on one leg at a time and was confused as to how they worked. Molly buttoned his pants and zipped his fly.

"Thank you." He told her.

He then slipped his shirt on and started to button it. When he was finished it just didn't look right, as a matter of fact it was crooked. Molly unbuttoned his shirt and re-buttoned it.

"Much better." She said as she smoothed the wrinkles on his chest.

Elrond sat down on a stool and proceeded to put on his socks and then he slipped on his shoes which were penny loafers. He stood up and by this time he was fully dressed, except for one thing. His ears were quite obvious.

"Sat back down, I have an idea." Molly told him.

She took the dark blue bandanna and tied it around his head, covering his ears. She then grabbed a suit jacket which she also borrowed from Gene's old things. Finally she stood back and took a final look at Elrond.

"I think you're going to be passable." She told him.

"These clothes feel a tad strange though." He told her.

"Well they make you blend in. That's the important thing. Besides you don't see very many people with pointed ears unless you are at a Star Trek convention."

"Star Trek convention?" Elrond looked confused.

"I'll explain later. Now let's get out of here." She told him.

They were very careful not to make any noise, they reached the lobby and there was Vesta doing paperwork. She looked at her watch and headed for the break room for lunch.

"Okay, the coast is clear. Let's go!" Molly said.

Once the lobby was clear, they made their way to the front door and to the parking lot where her car was parked. Elrond looked at the strange vehicle.

"What type of carriage is this?"

"It's called an automobile." Molly explained.

She opened the door to his side.

"It's okay, sit down." She told him gently.

He slowly sat into the passenger side of the car and Molly would get in on the driver's side. Elrond watched as she fastened her safety belt. She reached over and strapped him in.

"What are these for?" He asked.

"Just in case we get into an accident." She explained.

"Accident?" Elrond was now nervous.

"Don't worry, I'm a good driver." She reassured him.

He watched as she put the keys in the ignition and the engine started. The car started to move and they drove off into the night.
