Somebody's Lost It

Friday

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Authors note: Well, Monty Python dramatic chord NI!

Glorfindel woke before dawn Friday morning, the door in the wine cellar still bugging him. He put on his sneaking outfit again, and headed out to figure out the mystery. He reached the cellar, with no incident, and crept to the door. He opened it slowly, and made his way to the far end of the cellar. The door was yet unlocked. He opened it and went inside, making sure it would not close on him, and continued in. The small windows at the top of the cellar let in just enough light to let him see the room. There didn't seem to be anything there. He was just about to turn and leave when suddenly he heard a voice.

"Glorfindel. Glorfindel! Come to us!"

Glorfindel slowly turned around and saw three people standing there, one robed in brown, the other in black, both were dressed plain. The one on the left was grey haired and had a short grey beard. The one on the left was tall and trim, with darker blonde hair shaggily cut short.

"Join us, or join the Dark Lord," the blonde figure said. "Are you for us or against us."

"I am against the Dark Lord," Glorfindel replied. There was something odd about those two...

"Good!" said the grey haired man, he nodded to the blonde.

The blonde haired man walked forward and said, "Aloha!" and from no where produced a necklace made of flowers. He put several of these on Glorfindel, and they made him sneeze.

"Please stop! You are making me sneeze!" Glorfindel commanded.

"I'd rather not!" the blonde said and continued putting lei's upon his neck.

Suddenly, a large group of elves appeared and they started singing and dancing around the elf lord. "Stop! Stop! Stop!" Glorfindel cried over and over again. All of the sudden, Elrond, Elrohir, Elladan, and Legolas began shaking him.

"Glorfindel! Glorfindel!" they all said. "Get up!"

Suddenly Glorfindel was wide awake, the four elves all looking at him slightly amused and concerned. "What are you all doing here?" Glorfindel asked. "And why are you dressed normally. Where is the grey haired man?"

"What are you talking about?" Elrond asked.

"Just a second ago! There was a grey haired man in the cellar, with a blonde man, and you all were dressed strangely and singing and dancing around me, then you began to shake me. Suddenly I'm here. What happened?"

All four looked at him, now thoroughly puzzled and perhaps a bit worried.

"Glorfindel, I think you had a bad dream," Elrond said.

"No! It happened. I woke up Monday and you weren't at breakfast and were playing leap frog in the garden with your sons, Arwen, and Legolas. Then you were riding what you called a skateboard, and scraping up all the handrails with it and..."

"Mellon nin, I think you ate some bad meat or something. Nothing like that happened. Last night you took supper in your room, and had cold turkey. I think it may have been old, because of this strange dream you told me about. This morning you began yelling 'stop stop stop' so we all came to see what was wrong. Bad turkey Glorfindel. Nothing more. I promise you I was not playing leapfrog Monday," Elrond said.

"What is the day today?" Glorfindel asked.

"Monday. Frodo the hobbit is due to arrive here very soon. Now get dressed so you can go meet him," Elrond said.

The four left the room, talking quietly amongst themselves about the strange things Glorfindel had said. In the mean time, Glorfindel got ready for the day. He left his room, and went to breakfast to find a note left for him by Elrond.

Dear Glorfindel, I ate an hour ago and won't be joining you for breakfast. I'm going to be wandering around Imladris today, taking a break I guess you could say, and I was hoping you would too. If you do, we can play a lovely game of leap frog with Legolas and my sons. Arwen might join us too! Later! -Elrond

Glorfindel was in shock, he couldn't believe it. No! No! It could not be! He ran out to the garden and found Legolas standing there to greet him.

"Greetings Lord Glorfindel. Come with me, the Lord Elrond requests your presence."

Well, at least that much had changed a little. He followed Legolas, and they turned a corner and suddenly...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" everyone shouted.

Glorfindel was shocked, and pleasantly surprised to find a birthday party for him. Later he discovered that note was written because of what he had said. In any event, Glorfindel was glad to see everything back to normal. Until the end of time Glorfindel never could remember what happened the week before, and was thoroughly convinced that Somebody Had Lost It. And it hadn't been him!

THE END

Authors note: Well, that ended differently than I thought it would! I didn't like it much, but I hope you all found it tolerable. As always, REVIEW!

"WHAT!You made me go through all of that, for it only to be a dream!"

I thought it would be funny!

"You're evil! How dare you do this to me!"

How dare you contest the will of the scriptwriter! Put that sword down! Now, as I agreed before, you can leave and do as you wish until I need you again.

"And what horrors shall you inflict upon me then?"

That's for me to worry about. Now go!
