When we walked into the dinning room we found our seats and started eating. I was sitting next to the twins who were laughing at each other about a prank they did when they were younger.
"You've been really quiet Mary, you okay." Elrohir said smiling
"Yah, just thinking, so what have you guys been up too?"
"Well, if you really want to know." Elladan said smiling
"If I didn't want to hear I wouldn't have asked."
"We ate breakfast and we were training today." Elrohir said
"Yah, nothing really exciting to day, maybe tomorrow will be." Elladan said as he took another bite out of his meat.
"Who knows, what tomorrow has in store for us." I said smiling and started eating my food while the twins just looked at me oddly.
When dinner was over I walked back to my room and thought about how to get back Elladan and Elrohir from the goop. Well I think I need some help from a certain elf who I think knows how to pull a good prank with out getting caught.
I woke up to hear birds chirping and the sun streaming through the curtain. I smiled as I got up and walked over to the curtain.
"This will be a good day." I said breathing in the fresh air.
I washed up and changed into my summer dress that I brought with me. I slipped on sandals and sat down by the mirror to comb my hair. When I heard whispering outside my door.
"Are you sure she's up?" a small voice said
"She has to be up, why would she still be sleeping." The second voice said
"Why don't you come in because I can hear you." I yelled as I put my hair in a French braid.
"Told you she was awake." Pippin said that was the second voice as he walked up to me
"You look really nice Mary." Merry said looking at me
"Thank you, so what did you two mischief makers want with me?" I asked turning around and smiling.
"We wanted to know if you wanted to hang out with us today." Pippin said shyly looking at his hands
"Of course but only if you do something for me." I said smiling
"What did you have in mind?" Merry said getting what I was saying
"Well…"
When I finished telling them my plan they smiled and agreed to help me. Now all we need was to get the one elf we needed.
"All right, I'll grab something to eat and we'll go down to the archery fields because that is where he'll most likely be." I said as I closed my door and walked out in the hall way.
"Ok, I could go for a second breakfast too." Merry said rubbing his stomach
"What ever you say Merry." I said shaking my head.
After eating breakfast or a second breakfast we walked out side to have the sun hitting our face.
"So, what do you guys think we should do to them?" I asked looking down at them
"We're thinking about it." Merry said
"Maybe we should die their hair, or dump goop on them but also feathers. We'd have to figure out how to get the feathers though." Pippin said shrugging
"True, we should get Aragorn on this too." I said remembering how he got the most of it
"We should." Merry said smiling
"I see Legolas; he's entertaining a bunch of elves." Pippin said pointing over to the huge crowd of people at the Archery Fields
As we walked over there, we knew that we'd have to sit and wait because he was in the middle of a contest. Bummer, it'll be harder to pull him away now, with all this attention.
"How long do you think this is going to take?" Pippin said bored already
"I don't know this is the first time I watched anyone in a contest."
"Well, what are we going to do, while we are waiting?" Merry asked
"I don't know. We could find Aragorn, but he might be with Arwen."
We sat there for a few more minutes when suddenly it was all over. Merry and Pippin stood under the tree while I went through everyone to get to Legolas.
"Legolas." I yelled trying to get his attention
"Good Morning Mary, I didn't know you came to watch the contest." Legolas said walking up to me
"Actually I didn't I was looking for you, because I needed your help on getting the twins back after whet they did to me."
"Oh, and what exactly do you have in mind?" Legolas said smiling
"Well, we aren't really sure at the moment, and we still need to get one more person in on it and then we'll come up with a plan."
"We? Who else is there?" Legolas said
"You found him, good, Merry went after Aragorn. We're meeting him in your room." Pippin said running up to us.
"Well, there's Merry, Pippin, You, Aragorn, and me of course." I said smiling
"All right I'm in." Legolas said smirking
We mad our way back to my room to find Merry and a very annoyed Aragorn who was sitting in a chair and tapping his boot.
"All right what is this all about?" Aragorn said frustrated
"You mean Merry didn't tell you?" I said surprised
"No, he just grabbed my arm and pulled me away when I was talking to Arwen." Aragorn said then glaring at Merry who just shrugged in return.
"Well, I decided to let you in on the plan to get back the twins from earlier."
"Really now, all right I'm in." Aragorn said
"Okay."
I was about to finished when there came a knock on the door and in walked Gandalf.
"Well, this looks mighty suspicious." Gandalf said as he saw us all huddled to together.
"I'm sure it does. What can I help you with?"
"Lord Elrond wanted to speak to you in his study" Gandalf said looking around the room to find something out of place
"All right, I'll be back later you guys."
They nodded their heads and watched as me and Gandalf left, and started walking to Lord Elrond's Study
"I don't know what you five are up to, but I'm keeping an eye on you." Gandalf said looking at me
"Well you'd be wasting your time watching though."
"We shall see." Gandalf said raising an eyebrow
The whole way to Elrond's Study was quiet until we got to the door and Gandalf let me in right after he gave me one last suspicious look. I walked in and found Lord Elrond looking over maps and what not.
"Please have a seat." Lord Elrond said looking up at me
"You wanted to talk to me?"
"Yes, I wanted to tell you that since you'll be joining the Fellowship you need to practice your fighting skills. Aragorn will teach you how to yield a sword and Legolas will teach you to master the bow. Is there anything else you would like to add?" Lord Elrond said folding his hands on his desk
"Do you mind if I learn how to ride a horse and cook."
"That should be fine, but don't you already know how to cook Lady Marian?" Lord Elrond said slightly confused
"Well yes I do, but not like I need to know here."
"I see. All of this will start tomorrow. Tell Aragorn and Legolas about what I said and they'll tell you what time you'll start tomorrow. I'll make sure to tell the cooks about your coming. I do not think they'll have a problem, because they could use your help." Lord Elrond said
"Is there anything else you'd like to talk about?"
"No, I think that is all for now." Lord Elrond said waving his hand to dismiss me
"All right."
I walked out of his room knowing Aragorn is going to want to get up early to practice swords. Fun, I'll be sore for a long time. I walked into my room to see them all there with food and writing on paper.
"I guess you guys have been busy, while I was gone." I said smiling
"Yah, you should see what we have in store for them. They won't know what hit them." Pippin said with a gleam in his eye
"All right before you start, I have to make an announcement. Aragorn, Lord Elrond wants you to start teaching me how to use a sword tomorrow, you pick the time. Legolas, Lord Elrond wants you to teach me how use a bow. Also, I need one of you to teach me how to ride a horse, and Aragorn your wilderness skills would be good too."
"Good, we'll start tomorrow morning at sunrise, wear pants and a loose shirt, nothing nice. We'll also go over wilderness skill out there as well." Aragorn said
"After your lesson with Aragorn, you can take a 5 minute break and meet me in the Archery Fields for lessons. I'll get you a bow, so don't worry." Legolas said
"All right whose teaching me how to ride, unless one of you teaches me one day and someone teaches me the next?" I said looking at the two of them
"I'll teach you how to ride after practices. And Aragorn can the next day if he likes." Legolas looking over at Aragorn to see if he agrees
"Good, now that, that is settled. What is this plan of yours?"
"You'll love it; you see its all drawn out for you." Merry said giving me his chair
I looked down at the drawing and I knew this was going to be great.
