Chapter 9: Gimli in the Lemon Tree...Missy's Birthday Bash
It was a lovely, sunny morning on what Becky Greenleaf deemed the worst day of the week: Monday. Well, not really morning...more like one o'clock in the afternoon.
Of course, Becky and Missy were still fast asleep, snoring rather loudly on their respective beds.
Legolas, Aragorn, Gandalf, Frodo, Merry, Pippin and Sam were sitting on the floor, behind the beds and out of sight. They all had cotton stuffed in their ears and did not look very happy.
"Can I asphyxiate them?" Aragorn asked, his fingers twitching in the direction of the curtains. Legolas and all the Hobbits nodded in agreement.
They hadn't gotten any sleep at all, since Becky and Missy had finally stopped talking about what they would be doing for Missy's Birthday Bash on Wednesday and had fallen asleep.
There was a loud pounding on Becky's door. "WILL THE TWO OF YOU GET YOUR LAZY SELVES UP?!!"
Becky and Missy immediately leapt up from their beds, ran smack dab into each other and fell backwards onto seven members of the Fellowship (Gandalf had slid away across the floor.)
"GET UP!!" came Becky's father's yell again. Becky scrambled off the still half-asleep Missy and the thoroughly squashed Hobbits and raced to the door.
As she hurried to move all the chairs and pillows in front of the door, she gestured frantically at the seven inhabitants of Middle-earth to hide.
"OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!! WE HAVE TO HAVE A SERIOUS CONVERSATION ABOUT THE MISSING FOOD!!"
As the several members of Middle-earth all dove to various hiding places, Becky opened the door.
"Hi Daddy Greenleaf!!!" Becky jumped on her father and attempted to hug the life out of him. "How are you? Huh, Daddy, huh huh huh?!!"
"I DREAMT ABOUT LEGOLAS LAST NIGHT!!" she continued, jumping up and down and half tugging her father down the hall.
That was all it took. Her poor father took off in the next direction.
"Hehehe," Becky said, an evil glint in her eyes as she shut the door behind her and began piling back the pillows and chairs.
"Isn't that sad?" Merry whispered to Pippin. "He's afraid of his own offspring."
"If I were him, I'd be afraid too!" Sam joined in, eying Becky as she pushed the computer in front of the door.
Missy had gotten to her feet and was scrubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She stumbled over to the window.
"Oh look! There go your parents!" Missy said, watching Becky's parents going down the drive in the car.
She pulled back the curtains and pushed up the windows. "BYE UNCLE AND AUNTIE!!!!"
Several neighbors' dogs began barking loudly, four car alarms went off and Becky's mother and father winced and drove off faster.
"Whoops. Hehe." Missy said with a giggle and slammed back down the window.
Becky had flopped down onto the middle of the floor and Missy took a seat next to her. They pulled out their fluffy pink notebook and a fluorescent pink pen.
"We've got to get planning for Missy's party," Becky explained to seven hungry members of the Fellowship. "Breakfast will be along in a bit."
"The noonday sun has come and gone!" Legolas said in a strained voice. He was beyond starving and since he'd gotten spoiled to the food on earth, he would never touch Lembas bread again.
But his plea went to deaf ears as Becky and Missy had now begun debating on which colour to use for the invitation envelopes: pink or purple. They had also drawn the four Hobbits into their debate.
From way up above, there came a loud thump coming from the attic.
Becky, Missy and the hungry Hobbits continued on, hearing nothing. However, Legolas heard it and elbowed Aragorn and Gandalf who immediately got to their feet.
There came another pounding, this time even louder. However, Becky, Missy and the Hobbits heard it and they leapt to their feet. Becky and Missy dove behind Aragorn and Legolas.
"What is it?" Frodo asked, glancing around the room.
"An intruder!" Aragorn said, pulling out his sword. He listened again as the thumps sounded repeatedly.
"Where exactly do you think it's coming from?" Pippin asked.
"Sounds like the attic," Becky spoke up. "The east end of it."
Legolas pushed up the window, took a firm hold of his bow and began scaling up the drainpipe. Aragorn and Gandalf quickly followed suit. The Hobbits groaned but climbed out the window after them, swords gripped firmly.
"Hurry!" Becky and Missy heard Aragorn whisper down to them. They did not even hear them running lightly across the roof.
"You could have just used the door," Becky said, shrugging. Using her foot, she pushed away all the things in front of the door. She and Missy made their way out the door and up to the attic.
When they got to the attic, the cousins discovered that it was very dusty and dirty and smelly.
"Eww!" Becky declared, pushing a clothes-clip onto her nose. Almost immediately Missy began to sneeze. And cough. And hiccup.
Becky quickly surveyed the entire attic, her eyes moving quickly over everything in sight. But she discovered what she already knew: there was no one in the attic but her and Missy.
For you see, it was physically impossible for anyone to get into the attic except by the door which Becky had to unlock with a key. All the attic windows were painted shut (with black paint so that you couldn't see inside or outside) and were fitted with thick steel bars. (Becky Greenleaf had been a rather active and curious child.)
"Do you ACHOO! suppose cough sneeze we should hiccup find a way to let them in?" Missy said, thinking about the poor members of Middle-earth situated on the roof and the drainpipe.
"Let them suffer! MWAHAHHAHA!" Becky laughed evilly but quickly changed her mind. She made her way over to the window on the east side of the attic and began poking the bars.
"Becky, I don't think that poking the bars are going to work," Missy said but her cousin ignored her. She went right on poking the bars for about five minutes and the bars then fell straight off the windows.
"SKILLS!" Becky shouted and stepping over the bars, she proceeded to poke on the windowpane. The paint too gave way within minutes and Becky was able to push up the window and peer out, into the forest below.
However, Becky was immediately distracted by the sight of a huge lemon tree that was nearly taller than her house. On the branch level with the window, there sat Aragorn and Legolas. On the branches above them were Gandalf, Sam, Merry, Pippin and Frodo. Way up above, sat a rather disgruntled looking dwarf, carrying a pink axe and wearing a red bow on his beard.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE GIMLI!!" Aragorn screamed, catching sight of Becky and Missy grinning at them out of the window. "RUN! RUN! RUN!"
"No, Gimli! Stay," Legolas said, nearly pushing Aragorn off the branch that they were sharing. He was determined to make Gimli suffer just as much as they had.
"Hi Gimli!!" Becky screeched. She immediately jumped out the window and onto the branch. She began climbing the tree and when she reached to Gimli's branch, she hugged him and produced a candy bar.
"Welcome to Earth," she said with a smile. "My name is Becky Greenleaf and I'll be your new owner. Standing in the window is Missy. She's my cousin. Say hi, cousin."
"Say hi cousin!" Missy echoed, finally getting courageous and climbing out onto the branch and sitting next to Aragorn.
"Have you any idea how long I've been up here?!" Gimli growled, glaring at everyone. "I've had to smell and eat lemons for weeks on end. I thought that you were never going to come get me."
"Oh Gimli dear, Mommy is so sorry. Mommy will make up for it. Mommy will get rid of the lemon smell, won't Mommy?" Becky said, cooing away to Gimli and patting him on the head. "Besides if only Mommy had found you sooner and tell you that lemons are not really for eating on an everyday basis."
"I told you to run," Aragorn said, under his breath but everyone heard him.
Gimli glared at Legolas over Becky's head. "I knew you never liked me you pointy-eared Elf."
"Well we've had to suffer with this. Why can't you?" Legolas pouted, looking rather like a big, pointy-eared baby. (The poor thing had not been fed for hours. Allowances must be made.)
"Well now that we're all here, I think," Becky said, tapping her finger to her chin. "You don't suppose Galadriel's sense of humor is really that sick is it?"
"What's that? Resurrecting Boromir?" Gandalf said, lifting a bushy grew eyebrow beneath his flowered bonnet. "I won't put it past her."
"How about breakfast?" Missy cut in as once again when Frodo and Sam began asking questions about Boromir's death, they found that they could not say a word.
Everyone immediately scrambled to get in the window but the weight of ten on the lone branch was too much. The branch broke right off the bark of the tree and down went everyone in a heap onto the rose bush.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MISSY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MISSY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" Becky said, singing and dancing around her living room. "YOU BELONG IN THE ZOO! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUU!!"
"Ai Valar!" Legolas groaned and stuffed cotton in his ears. "Help me!!"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I BELONG IN THE ZOO!" Missy said, dancing around the room with Becky.
You see, today was Missy's birthday and she had been waiting for this day for a very long time. Becky Greenleaf had showered her cousin with gifts and the Fellowship had attempted cooking breakfast for her.
Even though the attempt was highly unsuccessful, Missy (the proud cousin hen) had not been able to stop crying with joy. (Especially since 'Becky's Babies' were covered in scratches from head-to-toe.)
"Let's get this party started!!" Becky said, turning on the CD player. Party music blared out of it and Becky jumped onto the table and began dancing.
Soon enough the Hobbits joined her and they were all doing the chicken dance.
Missy jumped up onto the couch and began dancing and singing along with the music.
"Jumping up and down! Spinning round and round because of the music!!" Missy sang, extremely off-key of course. After much begging, Aragorn hopped up next to her and they began waltzing on the couch cushions.
"I don't believe this," Legolas whispered to Gimli who nodded in agreement. They still had no idea how they'd been persuaded to come downstairs for this event. Becky's parents and Missy's parents, after much begging had been persuaded to go out to dinner together and leave Becky and Missy to have their own get-together.
Suddenly they heard the doorbell ring. Becky jumped, in surprise and fell off the table.
"I'll get it!" Missy said, stopping her jumping and racing to the front door. "Oh hi guys! How are you?!"
"OH MY GOD! Is that Aragorn?" Missy's friends chorused together, all struggling to get through the door.
"Oh? Who?" Missy said, turning around and catching sight of the Fellowship all frozen in the living room. "Sorry! Gotta go!"
And with that she slammed the door and pushed the couch in front of it.
"Oops. I guess we shouldn't have sent out party invitations huh?" Becky said, blushing sheepishly. She helped herself to a can of Pringles. "I mean, we can't let them see the Fellowship."
The doorbell rang again, frantically and there was pounding on the door. "LET US IN! LET US IN! LET US IN!"
Soon the few voices were joined by even more and more until it sounded like a football stadium was outside the door.
"Just how many people did you invite?" Missy said, turning on Becky, eyes narrowed. If it had only been a few friends, she wouldn't have minded throwing them out and continuing the party with just the Fellowship and her cousin but if Becky had gone and invited everybody...
"Well, there's a couple kids from your school, my school, my friend's school, my online friends..." Becky began ticking off on her fingers.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Missy said, eyes wide and in shock. "I don't even know half those people!!"
Suddenly, they heard the back door rattling and the drainpipe shaking. There was also the sound of hands pounding on windows.
"OH MY GOD! THEY'RE BREAKING IN!!" Missy said, going into shock.
"Oh dear then," Gandalf said, not looking the least bit concerned. He poured himself a cup of tea and sat, puffing on his pipe.
"SOMEONE HELP ME!!" Becky cried, pushing the table in front of the door.
"You got yourself into this mess, you get yourself out," Aragorn said, shrugging. He took a seat on the floor and helped himself to some Pringles.
Becky stood in front of the door, eyes narrowed and glaring. "So you mean you're not going to help ME?!"
"Nope," the Fellowship answered collectively. They all went back to dancing or treating their various scratch wounds. Missy also shook her head and sat next to Aragorn.
"Alright, then. It's not my party and it's not me those people are shouting for!" and with that Becky pulled open the front door and in streamed the masses. They seemed to come from everywhere.
"OH MY GOD! IT'S LEGOLAS AND ARAGORN!" the girls screamed all at once. "GET THEM!!!"
As one, all the girls jumped onto Aragorn and Legolas. Their male counterparts also joined in.
"HELP! HELP!" Legolas shouted, the top of his head the only thing showing as the females aimed to tear him apart.
"SOMEONE SAVE US!!" the Hobbits yelled as one as they were being pulled back and forth.
"RUN!!" Becky and Missy screamed together and headed for the front door. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!"
Gandalf sent off some harmless blue light from the end of his staff, momentarily stunning the crowd. He took off after Becky and Missy.
Aragorn and Legolas managed to push off the fangirls, grab the Hobbits and Dwarf and race towards the door.
"I don't BELIEVE you!!!" Missy yelled over her shoulder to Becky as they raced down the street, the mob on their heels.
"Well you didn't give me much of a choice!!" her cousin shouted back. "Turn down here!"
The ten of them raced to the end of the street and then turned onto another one. To the cousins, it appeared as if the mob had gotten even bigger and they were making more noise than ever.
"JUST A KISS LEGOLAS! THAT'S ALL I WANT!" a girl with red hair screamed, trying to grab Legolas who swatted at her with his bow.
"I ONLY WANT YOU TO BE MY BABY'S DADDY!" another screamed, fighting off the one with red hair to grab Legolas.
At that statement, Legolas paled in horror and began to run even faster and took hold of Becky by the hair.
"I swear...if I survive this," Legolas said, glaring threateningly at her. But he didn't get to say more than that because a fangirl's jealous boyfriend had tossed a can of hairspray at him. Legolas staggered for an instant and blinked in surprise.
"HEY! NOBODY HURTS MY BABY!" Becky came to an immediate stop in the road. The rest of the Fellowship and Missy who had been running ahead of her, stopped and turned around to face her.
Becky picked up the can of hairspray and waved it menacingly. "I'ma MAKE YOU SORRY!"
She bared her teeth and prepared to attack the mob.
"Becky don't be an idiot!" Gandalf took hold of her by the hair and they began running again.
Soon they found themselves in town and they were getting more tired by the minute.
"This was not my idea of a fun birthday!" Missy said, panting. She struggled to keep up with rest of them. "HEART PAIN!!"
Suddenly an idea struck.
"The cinema!" Becky screamed. "GO INTO THE CINEMA!"
Of course, the Fellowship had no clue where the cinema was so Becky had to struggle to run ahead of them and lead them in the right direction.
The cinema could not have come into sight sooner and into the lobby of the cinema they ran. Becky and Missy just tossed money at the ticket attendant and pulled off ten tickets from the ticket wheel, not even caring what movie it was. Of course, they raced by the snack bars, tossing money and grabbing things randomly.
They dashed into the cinema just as the lights went down and the previews began. They quickly found a row of seats at the very back of a rather full cinema who glared at them. The ten immediately relaxed into their seats, breathing deep sighs of relief.
The angry mob however was quickly dispersed by the manager who threatened to never let any of them in his cinema ever again.
Back in the cinema, the previews were almost over but there was still one left to go...
"OH MY GOD IT'S TROY!!!" Becky screamed. "TROY TROY TROY!!"
For the entire two-minute preview, Becky finished screaming herself hoarse. And then the movie started.
"What is the name of this movie?" Gimli asked. For the past two days he had become fully versed on the language of Earth.
"OH MY GOD! IT'S SECRET WINDOW! HI JOHNNY!" and with that Becky Greenleaf promptly began to scream and did not stop till the movie was over.

"I don't believe this," Legolas whispered to Gimli who nodded in agreement. They still had no idea how they'd been persuaded to come downstairs for this event. Becky's parents and Missy's parents, after much begging had been persuaded to go out to dinner together and leave Becky and Missy to have their own get-together.
Suddenly they heard the doorbell ring. Becky jumped, in surprise and fell off the table.
"I'll get it!" Missy said, stopping her jumping and racing to the front door. "Oh hi guys! How are you?!"
"OH MY GOD! Is that Aragorn?" Missy's friends chorused together, all struggling to get through the door.
"Oh? Who?" Missy said, turning around and catching sight of the Fellowship all frozen in the living room. "Sorry! Gotta go!"
And with that she slammed the door and pushed the couch in front of it.
"Oops. I guess we shouldn't have sent out party invitations huh?" Becky said, blushing sheepishly. She helped herself to a can of Pringles. "I mean, we can't let them see the Fellowship."
The doorbell rang again, frantically and there was pounding on the door. "LET US IN! LET US IN! LET US IN!"
Soon the few voices were joined by even more and more until it sounded like a football stadium was outside the door.
"Just how many people did you invite?" Missy said, turning on Becky, eyes narrowed. If it had only been a few friends, she wouldn't have minded throwing them out and continuing the party with just the Fellowship and her cousin but if Becky had gone and invited everybody...
"Well, there's a couple kids from your school, my school, my friend's school, my online friends..." Becky began ticking off on her fingers.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Missy said, eyes wide and in shock. "I don't even know half those people!!"
Suddenly, they heard the back door rattling and the drainpipe shaking. There was also the sound of hands pounding on windows.
"OH MY GOD! THEY'RE BREAKING IN!!" Missy said, going into shock.
"Oh dear then," Gandalf said, not looking the least bit concerned. He poured himself a cup of tea and sat, puffing on his pipe.
"SOMEONE HELP ME!!" Becky cried, pushing the table in front of the door.
"You got yourself into this mess, you get yourself out," Aragorn said, shrugging. He took a seat on the floor and helped himself to some Pringles.
Becky stood in front of the door, eyes narrowed and glaring. "So you mean you're not going to help ME?!"
"Nope," the Fellowship answered collectively. They all went back to dancing or treating their various scratch wounds. Missy also shook her head and sat next to Aragorn.
"Alright, then. It's not my party and it's not me those people are shouting for!" and with that Becky pulled open the front door and in streamed the masses. They seemed to come from everywhere.
"OH MY GOD! IT'S LEGOLAS AND ARAGORN!" the girls screamed all at once. "GET THEM!!!"
As one, all the girls jumped onto Aragorn and Legolas. Their male counterparts also joined in.
"HELP! HELP!" Legolas shouted, the top of his head the only thing showing as the females aimed to tear him apart.
"SOMEONE SAVE US!!" the Hobbits yelled as one as they were being pulled back and forth.
"RUN!!" Becky and Missy screamed together and headed for the front door. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!"
Gandalf sent off some harmless blue light from the end of his staff, momentarily stunning the crowd. He took off after Becky and Missy.
Aragorn and Legolas managed to push off the fangirls, grab the Hobbits and Dwarf and race towards the door.
"I don't BELIEVE you!!!" Missy yelled over her shoulder to Becky as they raced down the street, the mob on their heels.
"Well you didn't give me much of a choice!!" her cousin shouted back. "Turn down here!"
The ten of them raced to the end of the street and then turned onto another one. To the cousins, it appeared as if the mob had gotten even bigger and they were making more noise than ever.
"JUST A KISS LEGOLAS! THAT'S ALL I WANT!" a girl with red hair screamed, trying to grab Legolas who swatted at her with his bow.
"I ONLY WANT YOU TO BE MY BABY'S DADDY!" another screamed, fighting off the one with red hair to grab Legolas.
At that statement, Legolas paled in horror and began to run even faster and took hold of Becky by the hair.
"I swear...if I survive this," Legolas said, glaring threateningly at her. But he didn't get to say more than that because a fangirl's jealous boyfriend had tossed a can of hairspray at him. Legolas staggered for an instant and blinked in surprise.
"HEY! NOBODY HURTS MY BABY!" Becky came to an immediate stop in the road. The rest of the Fellowship and Missy who had been running ahead of her, stopped and turned around to face her.
Becky picked up the can of hairspray and waved it menacingly. "I'ma MAKE YOU SORRY!"
She bared her teeth and prepared to attack the mob.
"Becky don't be an idiot!" Gandalf took hold of her by the hair and they began running again.
Soon they found themselves in town and they were getting more tired by the minute.
"This was not my idea of a fun birthday!" Missy said, panting. She struggled to keep up with rest of them. "HEART PAIN!!"
Suddenly an idea struck.
"The cinema!" Becky screamed. "GO INTO THE CINEMA!"
Of course, the Fellowship had no clue where the cinema was so Becky had to struggle to run ahead of them and lead them in the right direction.
The cinema could not have come into sight sooner and into the lobby of the cinema they ran. Becky and Missy just tossed money at the ticket attendant and pulled off ten tickets from the ticket wheel, not even caring what movie it was. Of course, they raced by the snack bars, tossing money and grabbing things randomly.
They dashed into the cinema just as the lights went down and the previews began. They quickly found a row of seats at the very back of a rather full cinema who glared at them. The ten immediately relaxed into their seats, breathing deep sighs of relief.
The angry mob however was quickly dispersed by the manager who threatened to never let any of them in his cinema ever again.
Back in the cinema, the previews were almost over but there was still one left to go...
"OH MY GOD IT'S TROY!!!" Becky screamed. "TROY TROY TROY!!"
For the entire two-minute preview, Becky finished screaming herself hoarse. And then the movie started.
"What is the name of this movie?" Gimli asked. For the past two days he had become fully versed on the language of Earth.
"OH MY GOD! IT'S SECRET WINDOW! HI JOHNNY!" and with that Becky Greenleaf promptly began to scream and did not stop till the movie was over.
