A/N: Awww, how cute ,they apologized.
Emerald: Yeah adorable. I think I'm gonna hurl now.
EPS: You have no heart!
Emerald: Meh...
DISCLAIMER: I don't own it.
Aragorn was surprised to wake up and find Legolas and Sapphire talking. Peacefully. As in not trying to kill each other at every given moment.
" So I see that you two have seceded to make peace." Aragorn said strolling over to Legolas. Legolas nodded as Sapphire walked by, reached out his leg and tripped her. Aragorn laughed as Sapphire struggled to get up, Legolas ran fast in the other direction also laughing.
"I'm gonna kill you!" She yelled almost laughing as she chased him. She tackled him to the ground and started playfully punching him.
"Alright, alright you win!" Legolas laughed, holding his hands up in mock surrender. Wow his eyes are really really blue! She thought, not quite noticing it before. Suddenly she realized that he was staring back and got self conscious. She looked around and saw that almost everyone was staring at them. She quickly got up and brushed the snow off herself.
"Good. Well... Trip me again and see what happens." She said and walked off, feeling her cheeks burn and her stomach do that weird flip flop thing again.

The group trudged on now, up the mountain, the snow falling a lot more heavily around them. Everyone glared at Legolas as he passed them all with ease.
"I hope he trips." Sapphire grumbled. Though the seemed a little more nicer to each other, the still bickered quite often. Like when Merry stole her hair brush out of her bag, and she thought Legolas did it seeing how he his hair stayed perfect all the time. The fought for almost thirty minutes till Sapphire caught Merry trying to brush Bill's hair with it. And the time when Legolas lost his knives and blamed Sapphire for it, but then found out that Gimli had used them to clean out his boot. Yes they fought a lot, but they still enjoyed talking to each other which they did frequently, whether it was late night talks about stupid things they did when they were kids, or arguing about who stole what.
"There is a fell voice in the air!" Legolas shouted over the wind. Gandalf walked next to him.
"It's Saruman!" Gandalf yelled. Yeah no dip Sherlock, even I could've figured that out and I'm forgetting the plot! Wait a minute! Something seemed familiar about this! Something, bad, not the warm fuzzy bunny slippers familiar. What's going to happen next! Aragorn says he's trying to bring down the mountain...
"He's trying to bring down the mountain! Gandalf we must turn back!" Aragorn yelled.
"No!" Gandalf said stubbornly and started chanting a counter spell. Wait was that supposed to happen? I don't think that was supposed to happen. Oh well so Gandalf does his little spell thingy, and then...
"Everyone get against the wall!" Sapphire screamed, suddenly remembering and hopping it would provide some protection against the snow that started falling on top of them. It didn't. "Well that was a big blow to my pride wasn't it?" She said as she lifted her head up, with much difficulty, out from underneath the massive blanket of snow.
"... we should let our fortune teller decide." She heard Boromir say.
"What?" She said, then realized he was insulting her. "Hey!" Then she realized what her just said. (A/N: She's just a tad bit slow...) "Oh wait no! No, no, no, no, no, no. No and no! Frodo has to decide, he's the ring bearer! Not me, Frodo." As of right now she couldn't really decide if she wanted and igloo or a nice warm coat. Much less decide if she was going to lead them to die on the mountain, or in some stupid mine. Gandalf nodded knowingly.
"Frodo, what is your decision." Frodo drew himself to full height, feeling very important, and a little nervous.
"We will go through the mines." He said. Gandalf sighed, not knowing what lie behind the walls of the mines, but not really sure he wanted to know.
"So be it."

" The walls of Moria. The dwarves are made to become invisible when shut." Gimli said, as he walked faster.
"Yes Gimli, their own masters can not find them if their secret is forgotten. Legolas rolled his eyes.
"Why doesn't that surprise me?" He said as Gimli grumbled something about "stupid elves."
"I think it's a wonderful idea. You don't have to worry about unwanted guests." Sapphire said, as she steered clear from him so he wouldn't trip her.
"Such as yourself." He retorted. Elves, who needs 'em. She thought.
"Ithilden. " Gandalf stated, running his hands along the stone. "It mirrors only moonlight and starlight. It reads: The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak friend and enter.
"What do you suppose that means?" Pippin asked.
"Oh it's quite simple really." Gandalf responded lightly. "If you are a friend, you speak the password and the doors will open." Gandalf then attempted to open the door with a spell. Attempted being the key word here. Sapphire sat down, figuring that they were going to be here for awhile when Gandalf resorted to pushing against the door. Now what happens in Moria? Lets see Gandalf needs to open the door thingy with a password, then Merry knocks down bucket in the well, or was that Pippin? No, wait doesn't that creepy octopus thing come first and try to eat Sam, er... Frodo I mean? OH I GIVE UP! She thought.
"What's wrong Lassie?" Gimli asked, sitting down next to her.
"Nothing. " She said shivering. "This place just kinda gives me the creeps." She noted that Gimli looked a little insulted. "No offense." She added quickly.
"None taken. I guess you just have to be a dwarf to appreciate the true beauty of it." Gimli said.
"Do not disturb the water." Aragorn said, stopping Merry and Pippin from skipping rocks. Suddenly the doors scraped open, and Sapphire jumped up, more than ready to get away from the pool.
"Blah, it smells in here! Someone please replace the glade filter!" She said then broke out in the song. "Plug it in, plug it in!" Pippin looked at her strangely.
"And they call it a mine. A mine!" Gimli laughed, telling Legolas all about dwarfish hospitality. Suddenly Sapphire tripped. Again.
"Oof!" she yelped and got up, angrily brushing herself off. "Legolas, DO NOT TRIP ME AGAIN!"
"It was not me!" Legolas said defending himself. Sapphire snorted.
"Yeah right, whatever. It's getting old elf boy!"
"I can assure that it was not me! How could I have tripped you if I am all the way over here? Answer that Oh Graceful One." Legolas said, who was getting quite angry himself
"Oh." Was Sapphire's answer as she looked at the ground to see what she had tripped over. "OH! Oh geez!" She yelped as she caught sight of a skeleton with numerous arrows sticking out of it. She backed into Boromir who shoved her behind him.
"This is no mine, it is a tomb!" He shouted as Legolas leaned down to inspect the arrow.
"Goblins!" He hissed saying the word like poison.
"We make for the Gap of Rohan, we should have never come here." Boromir shouted, panicking as she shoved Sapphire out the door. "Now get out! Get out!" "Frodo!" Sam yelled as he slashed at a tentacle that had managed to wrap itself around Frodo's leg. Sapphire let out a cry and let out the only name that came to mind as another tentacle wrapped itself around her leg. "Legolas!" He turned around and noticed Sapphire being dragged off. He pulled out his bow and started shooting arrows at it. "Just my luck!" She screeched and vainly started whacking the tentacle with her hand, trying to free herself. (A/N: Again you must remember her hands are tied! Lucky her right.) "Frodo your sword!" She called to the upside down hobbit. He nodded and tried to cut himself loose. The tentacle let go, and Sapphire landed in a heap on the ground.
"Ouch that's gonna leave a bruise." She complained, as Aragorn helped lead her into the cave. Mine. Tomb. Creepy dark space.
"Into the caves ! Run!" Aragorn yelled as they ran as they ran in. The creature tried to follow but apparently decided that making the door cave in was more fun then eating them. They stood in silence and in darkness. Gandalf did something and made his staff light up, providing some light, but not much.
"Well that was fun." Sapphire said , trying to lighten the mood. The fellowship glared at her. If looks could kill. "What! I'm sorry!"
"We now have but one choice." Gandalf said turning to the rest of the group. "We must face the long darkness of Moria. Be on your guard. There are older and fouler things then orcs in the deep places of the world." Like... Satan. Sapphire thought and was going to say it but decided they probably didn't know who that was. "Quietly now" Why do I get the feeling that that comment was directed at me? "It is a four day journey to the other side. Let us hope our presence may go unnoticed." They walked on, when Legolas walked over with a knife.
"What are you doing!" She asked, alarmed.
"Cutting your binds. You may need to protect yourself." He replied, carefully making sure he didn't cut her.
"Oh." She said quietly feeling stupid... Er.
"Why did you call my name, when clearly Boromir was closer?" Legolas asked suddenly.
"Oh. Well um, there is a very good reason..." Think stupid. Think! " Well I just know you better and well... Yeah." Legolas nodded. Well this is just peachy keen isn't it Bob! Not only am I in another world, I was just viciously assaulted by a possessed octopus with bad breath, I have to walk in a mine with dead people all around me, I might be starting to like that stupid elf, and I really REALLY have to go pee! Just my luck.
A/N: Well I hope you all enjoyed my chapter. Just to let you know, school startd tomorrow so I won't have a lot of time to update as I'd like but I will try to update when I can. Hopefully I can squeeze in some time. I met my teachers and they all seem pretty nice but my homeroom teacher, which just so happens to also be my math teacher, seems really strict! And I hate math with a fiery passion that will not die. God help me this year! Anyway read and review please.
