Chapter Five: Frodo up a Cotton Tree
"Something is not right," Legolas whispered to Aragorn. The two of them were huddled in the corner of Becky's bedroom, at the side of the bed and well out of sight.
It had been over three weeks since they had reluctantly agreed to come back to Becky's house and after that disastrous slumber party (Legolas was still trying to pry strands of his hair apart and no matter what Aragorn did, he could not manage to stay dirty) and they had not been outside since. Now the fangirls had been absent five hours, running out the door, and boxes of tissue in their hands.
"I agree," Aragorn whispered. "I am no longer able to feel my feet."
Legolas just looked at Aragorn and blinked. "I cannot either. But that is not the point. Why are we here? We should be out looking for the rest of The Fellowship."
"Hmm..." Aragorn stopped to ponder the fact but at that a moment, Becky's locked bedroom door from the outside, flew open and in trooped the fangirls.
Becky immediately slammed the door behind her and locked it. Aragorn and Legolas glanced at each other in despair, knowing their only escape route had just been cut off.
"Greetings, my darling Elf and human. How are we today my sweeties?" Becky asked, sliding the computer chair in front the door and piling several large books on top of it.
"We want to leave your room!" Aragorn yelled despite himself. "LET US OUT!!"
"Where have the two of you been?" Legolas put in, poking Aragorn in his shoulder for him to calm down.
"We went to see The Return of the King!" Becky said, then promptly flung herself into Legolas' arms and began to sob uncontrollably. "It was...it was... it was..."
"Awful? Terrible? Horrible?" Legolas supplied, not really knowing exactly what Becky was rambling on about.
"Horrific? Immensely frightening?" Aragorn added in.
"BLASPHEMY!!!!" Becky immediately jumped out of Legolas' arm, grabbed The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, the book and began reciting from random pages. "BLASPHEMY!!"
"Okay, okay. Will you calm down?!" Missy grabbed Becky and forced her to sit on the bed. "Take deep breaths. That's the key. BREATHE!"
Legolas looked at Aragorn and they both just blinked. "Huh?"
"It was beautiful. Oh so beautiful," was all Becky could say as she dabbed at her eyes with a large towel, as a napkin could not contain all her sorrowful tears. "Beautiful. I started crying from the opening scenes. Right down until...until...until...FRODO LEFT FOR THE GREY HAVENS! WAAAAAAAAAAAH! And then and then and then and then, Sam said, 'Well, I'm home!' WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Becky kept crying and would not stop. She was inconsolable no matter if Legolas and Aragorn reluctantly hugged her.
"I thought it had too much war," Missy said, in a typical Missy response. "Of course, I didn't see half the movie because I was too busy running out of the cinema to find napkins for Princess Weepy in the corner there. I was too busy listening to her sniffle and whimper."
Clearly Missy does not understand a true Lord of the Rings fan plight, now does she?
Becky finally stopped scrubbing her eyes with the towel and wiped her face. Her eyes were red but now she was smiling from ear-to-ear.
"Hello again, my darlings. What were you saying?" Becky said. She got up and went to sit on the floor next to Aragorn and Legolas.
"Please. We must find Frodo. We must find the rest of the Fellowship," Legolas said. "You have to let us out of here!"
"Becky, you did promise them," Missy said, shaking her head at Becky. "After all, it has been more than three weeks. They have not seen the light of day."
"But I wanna keep them!" Becky protested, poking out her lower lip. "THEY WERE GIVEN TO ME!"
"But, if we were given to you as you say, then the rest of the Fellowship were given to you too," Aragorn said. "After all, were we not...your Christmas presents? And that means that they are your responsibility too."
Becky looked from Aragorn's cute face to Legolas' big blue eyes. "OH FINE! Let's go!"
Aragorn and Legolas immediately leapt to their feet, smiling from ear-to- ear. They strapped on their gear and stood waiting impatiently by the door.
"Have you children forgotten your manners?" Becky said, hands on hips, foot stomping. She pointed at both her cheeks.
Aragorn and Legolas reluctantly came over and gave her a kiss on each cheek.
"Come on! What are we waiting for?" Aragorn said, bouncing from foot to foot.
"Just a sec. I need to fix my hair," Becky said and with that immediately planted herself in front of the mirror. She began fixing her hair, Legolas- style. While she did that, Missy began fixing her cousin's Elvish makeup.
Aragorn and Legolas waited for at least a half hour, drumming their feet impatiently.
Finally Becky was ready and (in her mind) she looked exactly like an Elf. "Let's go!"
Becky unlocked the door, moved the chair and the four of them tiptoed out into the hallway. They headed down the stairs very quietly, Aragorn and Legolas accustomed to moving quietly and stealthily, Becky and Missy still learning the trick, clomping with the heels of their high heels.
"WHERE ARE YOU TWO GOING SO SOON?!" Becky Greenleaf's father appeared out of nowhere in the hall.
In a flurry of movement, Becky immediately shoved Legolas and Aragorn into the hall closet and locked the door.
"Not a place. We're just wandering around," Becky said, smiling from ear-to- ear. She and Missy placed their backs against the hall closet. "Just walking."
"I could have SWORN..." Becky Greenleaf's father looked at the cousins again and just shook his head. "Don't bother. If you need me, I'll be the optometrist's. Getting my eyes checked."
Becky Greenleaf's father turned and strolled back up the stairs, still shaking his head.
As soon as he disappeared out of sight, Becky unlocked the closet door and out fell Legolas and Aragorn, two mops, a broom and a pile of old junk. Naturally both Aragorn and Legolas were trapped underneath the old junk.
"Whoops. Sorry my darlings," Becky said and she and Missy took hold of them and pulled them out from underneath the pile of junk.
"Now come on! Let's get out of here!" Missy said. The four took off, not caring how loud they sounded, the only thing they worried about was getting out of there fast.
The four took off into the woods at top speed, Legolas and Aragorn battling for first place and Becky and Missy lagging a good way behind them.
The four ran deeper and deeper into the woods until Becky screamed out for them to stop.
Aragorn drew his sword and Legolas strung his bow and they leapt to attention.
"Lookie!" Becky pointed upwards. Missy, Aragorn and Legolas looked up, following Becky's finger. They had come to the base of a large cotton tree and in the topmost branches of said cotton tree, lay a curled up Frodo. He was wrapped up in a large wool blanket and was fast asleep. He was sucking his thumb and hugged a plush teddy bear to his chest. And of course the trademark red ribbon lay atop his head.
"Aww!! Can I have him, can I have him, can I have him?!" Becky said, locking her arms around Aragorn's arm and gazing up into his eyes pleadingly. "I'll feed him and take him for walks and everything."
Missy nodded her agreement and latched herself onto Aragorn's arm.
"Aww. He does look rather adorable like that," Aragorn said, before he could help himself. "Well I supposed we could keep him for a short---AW! What did you do that for?!"
Legolas had hit him over the head with his bow. "Have you lost all sense, Aragorn? Entrusting Frodo to these fangirls? It's enough that we're already trapped here with them."
"But aren't the fangirls cute?" Aragorn said, gesturing to the fangirls who both batted their eyelashes. (Apparently someone's been feeding Aragorn spiked breakfast cereal.)
Legolas glanced at them for a total of half a second. "NO!"
He then picked up his bow and thwacked Aragorn repeatedly over the head. The latter immediately took off into the forest and Legolas gave chase. The two fangirls rushed to Aragorn's defense but was no match against Legolas.
After about thirty knocks over the head, Legolas finally stopped and Aragorn shook his head and gasped in pain.
"Now Aragorn, how many fingers am I holding up?" Legolas asked, holding up three fingers.
"Six," Aragorn said, still shaking his head. "No....five...four..."
"Well, that's close enough," Legolas said, putting down his hand. "Now, are those fangirls cute?"
Aragorn took one look at Becky and Missy and screamed hysterically. He ran behind Legolas and hid in his hair. "There ARE SIX OF THEM! And what the heck are you talking about? Them...cute?! HAHHAHHAHA!"
"Alright. I think Aragorn has come back into his right mind," Legolas said. "Now, shall we get Frodo out of the cotton tree?"
Aragorn nodded his agreement, a slight blush in his cheek and he, Legolas, Becky and Missy made their way back over to the cotton tree.
"I shall climb up and retrieve Frodo," Legolas said. He stuck his bow into the quiver on his back and began climbing up the cotton tree, nimbly.
Becky just about fainted and aimed to fall in Aragorn's direction but the ranger immediately stepped aside and Becky lay sprawled across the floor.
Missy grabbed her cousin by the arm and dragged her to her feet. "Honestly."
By this time Legolas had reached the top of the tree and had scooped Frodo up in his arms. Legolas made his way swiftly and gracefully back down the tree.
"Are you sure I can't marry you?" Becky said, as Legolas reached back to solid ground and handed Frodo over to Aragorn.
"Extremely sure," Legolas replied, not missing a beat.
"Worth a try," Becky shrugged. She immediately went over to Frodo and plucked the big, red bow off his head.
"Lookie. A card," Missy said, reaching over Becky and grabbing a small white card that lay atop the ribbon. "'Take excellent care of this young, fragile Hobbit. He needs lots of love.'"
"Aww! You see, that means he's MINE!" Becky pounced on the sleeping Frodo and hugged the life out of him. "I will take good care of you, my snookums!!"
Frodo immediately woke up, rubbing the sleep out of his big blue eyes.
"Aww!" Missy joined the hugging. "Doesn't he have the most beautiful blue eyes?"
Legolas took hold of the two fangirls and tugged them away. Aragorn grabbed Frodo and knelt before the Ringbearer.
"Frodo? How are you? Frodo are you all right?" Aragorn said, his voice trembling. "Speak to me FRODO!"
"You're clean!" Frodo said his first words in shock. Then he turned to Legolas, Becky and Missy. "He's CLEAN!"
"I'm still clean?" Aragorn asked, positively dismayed. He held out a hand for proof of this and there was not a speck of dirt underneath his fingernails. He immediately pouted. "OH NO!"
"Hello Frodo my love. I'm your new owner," Becky said. She stuck out her hand to Frodo. "My name is Becky Greenleaf."
"Greenleaf?" Frodo arched an eyebrow at Becky and then glanced at Legolas. "Is she-"
"NO! I AM NOT MARRIED TO HER! SHE IS NOT RELATED TO ME!" Legolas said, in a rather un-Legolas-like outburst. He almost turned blue like Galadriel and Frodo could've sworn Legolas' ears got pointier.
"Alright, alright. Just a question," Frodo held up his hands in defense.
"And I am Missy, cousin to Becky Greenleaf," Missy said. "I do not have a last name as I am yet to admit to the world at large that I love Aragorn."
"And when you do, you've got a wide variety of names to choose from such as Missy Aragorn, Missy Estel all the way down to Missy Telcontar," Becky said, pulling out a candy bar from the back pocket of her jeans. "Here ya are, Frodo."
Frodo accepted the chocolate bar and looked at it oddly. "What is this?"
"It's a chocolate bar, Frodo sweetie. Go ahead and try it. I didn't spike yours," Becky said and then glanced sideways at Missy. "You didn't spike it did you?"
"How am I supposed to know?" Missy whispered back. "You laced almost everything in the kitchen!"
"Oh, I did? So that's why my mother fell asleep in the eggs this morning," Becky blushed. "Whoops. Hehehe."
Aragorn shook his head and immediately confiscated the candy bar from Frodo.
"Come on, Arrers. Frodo must be hungry, aren't you sweetie?" Becky asked, grabbing the candy bar from Aragorn and opening it. She broke it in a half. "See, I'll even eat piece to show I didn't spike it."
Becky put a piece of the chocolate in her mouth and she had barely begun chewing it when she fell over, fast asleep.
"Well, I guess not," Missy said, with a sheepish shrug. She attempted to scoop Becky off the floor but to no avail.
"Well are you going to be picking her up?" Missy turned to Legolas who immediately shook his head. She turned and looked pleadingly at Aragorn.
"Fine," Aragorn rolled his eyes and scooped up Becky. He tossed her over his shoulder, grunting a little from her weight.
"Well come on guys. We've found Frodo. It's time we head home," Missy said and began trooping off, in the direction of home. Legolas, Aragorn and Frodo remained where they stood.
"Aren't you guys coming?" Missy asked, noticing that they weren't following her. "Come on Frodo. We'll go back home and after we wake up Becky, we'll go out to the grocery store to get you some nice NORMAL food. I promise that Becky won't spike it again."
"We have the rest of the-" Aragorn started but Missy cut him off by holding up a hand.
"Sheesh Aragorn, this story is getting a little boring," Missy rolled her eyes. "We can look for them later, can't we? Aren't you hungry? When I go home I'm going to order a nice, big pizza. Well if you're not coming.....well I guess Becky and I are going to have a huge feast."
Missy turned and began walking off, whistling to herself mischievously.
Aragorn and Legolas exchanged looks. All the time they had been on earth, the fangirls had spoiled them silly and fed them when they only looked so much as hungry. They had also developed a taste for pizza, extra large ones with double cheese.
"Well I do suppose one more day wouldn't hurt would it?" Legolas asked, following Missy.
"What is pizza?" Frodo asked, his Hobbit instincts kicking in. "Sounds delicious."
"Ah well. One more day couldn't kill them could it?" Aragorn said, with an evil smirk to himself. He was too busy thinking about his pizza now. "Come on Frodo. We have important matters to discuss later."
And so Aragorn, Legolas, Becky, Missy and Frodo trooped off in the direction of home.

"Okay, okay. Will you calm down?!" Missy grabbed Becky and forced her to sit on the bed. "Take deep breaths. That's the key. BREATHE!"
Legolas looked at Aragorn and they both just blinked. "Huh?"
"It was beautiful. Oh so beautiful," was all Becky could say as she dabbed at her eyes with a large towel, as a napkin could not contain all her sorrowful tears. "Beautiful. I started crying from the opening scenes. Right down until...until...until...FRODO LEFT FOR THE GREY HAVENS! WAAAAAAAAAAAH! And then and then and then and then, Sam said, 'Well, I'm home!'

"We have the rest of the-" Aragorn started but Missy cut him off by holding up a hand.
"Sheesh Aragorn, this story is getting a little boring," Missy rolled her eyes. "We can look for them later, can't we? Aren't you hungry? When I go home I'm going to order a nice, big pizza. Well if you're not coming.....well I guess Becky and I are going to have a huge feast."
Missy turned and began walking off, whistling to herself mischievously.
Aragorn and Legolas exchanged looks. All the time they had been on earth, the fangirls had spoiled them silly and fed them when they only looked so much as hungry. They had also developed a taste for pizza, extra large ones with double cheese.
"Well I do suppose one more day wouldn't hurt would it?" Legolas asked, following Missy.
"What is pizza?" Frodo asked, his Hobbit instincts kicking in. "Sounds delicious."
"Ah well. One more day couldn't kill them could it?" Aragorn said, with an evil smirk to himself. He was too busy thinking about his pizza now. "Come on Frodo. We have important matters to discuss later."
And so Aragorn, Legolas, Becky, Missy and Frodo trooped off in the direction of home.
