Sam's Thoughts

Elvish translations

Last chapter

"Pippin!" Aragorn called trying to get the Hobbit to comeback.

But Pippin seemed to be determined to look at what was in the water. When he picked it up Sam saw that I was just a bowling ball, but then she was sure that there wouldn't be such thing as bowling on Middle Earth.

"Bless my bark!"

"Peregrin Took, I'll take that my lad." Gandalf said riding over to the young Hobbit.

Pippin hesitated looking from Gandalf to the bowling ball.

"Quickly now." Gandalf urged Pippin before wraping it up in his cloak, Sam noticed that he took great care not to touch the Palantir.

When they returned to Rohan there was a huge gathering to honour the men who died in the battle of Helm's Deep. Theoden was at the head of the room with Eomer and Eowyn on either side of him.

"Tonight we remember those who gave their blood to defend this country. Hail the victorious dead!" the King said

"Hail!" Everyone yelled before drinking.

Everyone then went on talking to there friends and family all the different conversations mingling into one.

Sam stood in one corner with Legolas both preferring to stay away from the loud crowd around them.

Merry and Pippin could be heard in one corner of the singing at the top of there voices while dancing on one of the tables.

"You can search far and wide
You can drink the whole world dry
But you'll never find a beer so brown
As the one they drink in my hometown
You can keep your fancy ales
You can drink them by the flagon
But the only brew for the brave and true
Comes from the green dragon!"

The men and women gathered around the table cheered when the Hobbits finished their song, some calling for another song while went back to their drinks or the girls sitting in their laps.

Gimli approached the two in the corner of the room and offered them each a drink.

"Nay Gimli I only drink wine, never ale." Legolas said.

"And I only drink light beer and I doubt that you have any of that." Sam told the Dwarf.

"Well I think that you two are just can't handle a good stiff drink." Gimli taunted.

Some of the men around them stopped to listen to the conversation and soon the whole room went quiet listening to them.

"No I can take a stiff drink I want one but I am simply not in the mood."

"Hear that men the elf can't handle a drink. So much for Elvish stamina." Gimli yelled to the room.

"I propose a drinking game." One of the men called.

"Yeah the Dwarf, the Elf and the Woman. See who lasts the longest." Another said.

(A/N my friend and I can swear that we both saw Gimli and Legolas having a drinking game in one of the ROTK trailers but we never saw the trailer again so I thought I would put it in here.)

"What do you think Legolas, shall we prove to Gimli and these men that we can take a drink?" Sam asked her friend.

Legolas seemed to consider it for a moment then a smile spread across his face, "Your on."

The men around them cheered and everyone gathered around a table in the centre of the room where the three sat. Drinks were set in front of them and the game started.

The other people in the room split into three groups.

The women all went for Sam, eager for a chance for a woman to prove herself.

The men who thought that they could go on the famed elvish stamina.

While the rest went for Gimli.

Bets were placed on the three and the room was filled with cheers for the three contestants.

After 4 pints Gimli was out, having already had 3 before the game he didn't have much chance.

So Legolas and Sam were left. They almost stopped having proved Gimli wrong but after much complaint from the crowd they continued.

They were neck and neck most of the way. Sam having been around men a lot, especially Jack was use to drinking, but she had the weaker immune system being mortal. While Legolas rarely drank, and never something so strong and I such large amounts but being immortal his body fought the effects of the alcohol.

In the end it was called a draw after Gandalf and Aragorn interfered, saying they would regret it in the morning. So the crowd dispersed and Aragorn, Gandalf and Eomer, helped the either drunk or unconscious members of the fellowship to the room that they were all sharing and put them to bed.

But Legolas and Sam seemed to have a different idea. Each time that they were left alone for even a second they would having a major snog fest. But if they were taken away from each other they complained loudly. Luckily Sam soon lost consciousness but Legolas still refuse to let them take her away from him even thou he stopped kissing her. So they were put on two sleeping mats next to each other and Legolas quickly fell asleep.

Ow shit how much did I drink last night. OH my head I refuse to get up I'll just go back to sleep no one will ever know I was awake. Wait why do I feel like a body is lying on me?

Sam opened her eyes to find Legolas asleep with his upper body resting on her chest.

OK I have cloths on so we didn't do anything like that. I hope. Well I suppose that wouldn't be to bad considering this is Legolas and he is pretty hot…wait what am I thinking Legolas is my friend it would be like sleeping with Daniel or something.

Just as she was thinking that Legolas started to stir. After a moment his eyes opened and locked onto hers.

"Um Legolas not that this isn't nice but I can't breath."

The elf quickly sat up and knocked his head on the wall for his trouble. Laughter erupted from the other side of the room where Merry, Pippin and Aragorn were watching them.

Sam glared at them as she sat up. But she quickly lay back down when her hangover made itself known again.

"Ow. Shit! Where the hell is Gimli I'll kill him. This is all his fault for convincing us into that bloody game of his."

"Aragorn we didn't…did we?" Legolas asked the ranger as he rubbed his head where he hit the wall.

"Well I was rather hard to separate you two for you lip lock so we just left you to it."

"WHAT!!!" both yelled at the same time, startling Gimli out of his alcohol induced sleep nearby.

"Gimli this is all your fault." Sam said.

"Calm down. No you didn't so anything over the top. Sam lost consciousness before you had a chance. But i think you would have if not for that you were rather attached to each other." Aragorn said before the trio burst into another fit of laughter.
