The Road Goes Ever On And On

Chapter Twenty-one: Not So 'Welcome'

The trip to Rivendell took a few days but was mostly uneventful, except for when Emily, Jon, Merry, and Pippin tried to light Tithenwen on fire with flaming marshmallows and flame throwers. The two groups traveled separately during the day but all met a single spot at night where they would eat dinner and camp out. Some of the group slept in the SUV but the majority slept outside, since they had very nice weather at the moment. Tithenwen and Nicholas had each brought a tent and both tents were set up outside at night. Mary and Faramir used Tithenwen's and Nicholas used his own. Dolly, Tithenwen and Becca all slept in the SUV while everyone else slept outside.

When the two group finally reached Rivendell, they were both meet by a greedy dress wearer known as Elrond who turned from Mr. Nice Guy to Mr. Anderson as soon as he saw Tithenwen.

"What the hell are you doing here!" Elrond asked, and made a disgusted face at Tithenwen who made a face back and stuck her tongue out.

"Nana sent us. Trust me, I didn't want to come but I respected her wishes…"

"So how long did it take you to learn to respect your elders?"

"Oh will you shut up already, you old dress wearing fart!"

"What did you call me?" questioned Elrond, shocked.

"An old dress wearing fart? You got a problem with that or would you like me to spell it out for you?" Tithenwen said with a smirk, knowing that she had already ticked Elrond off.

"You bet I have a problem with that! Do you have any idea who you just insulted, little girl?" said Elrond horrified.

"Oh, bite me, Elf!" Tithenwen said, flipping Elrond the bird.

Elrond shielded his eyes at the sight of it and cried out, "I'm too young to be seeing this! AHH! My eyes!"

Tithenwen rolled her eyes and Nicholas put his hand on Tithenwen's shoulder and whispered to her, "Tithenwen, calm down, please. I would like not to get thrown out of Rivendell…"

Elrond uncovered his eyes and he suddenly noticed Nicholas and turned his attention to the young Ranger captain that reminded him all too much of Aragorn. "And who the bloody hell are you and what in Middle-earth are you doing here, RANGER?" Elrond said rather rudely and he spat the last word out like it was a piece of dirt.

"That's it! Let me at him!" cried Tithenwen, jumping off Brego and she started to draw Anduril.

Nicholas and Becca exchanged quick worried glances and hopped off their horses and raced over to Tithenwen restraining her and keeping her from killing Elrond. Dolly jumped out of the SUV and joined in, reaching one hand for Anduril. As much as she hated Elrond, as did everyone else, she knew that if Tithenwen killed him now, they were all dead meat.

"Give me the sword!" Dolly hissed at Tithenwen. "Before you get us all killed!"

"No!" protested Tithenwen, tightening her grip on the hilt of Anduril.

"Tithenwen!" growled Dolly. "Don't make me imitate a Nazgul!"

Tithenwen's eyes went wide in fear. The only thing that Tithenwen was afraid of was Nazguls—or rather Dolly's impressions of Nazguls. She really didn't want to see and imitation of a Nazgul.

"I give up! No Nazgul impressions!" Tithenwen said sternly as she unbuckled her sword belt with Becca's help and handed it to Dolly.

"Thanks a lot, shrimp," Dolly said cheerfully with a smile as she took the weapons and patted Tithenwen on the head. Tithenwen narrowed her eyes and snapped at Dolly's hand with her teeth.

Dolly glared at Tithenwen who glared right back before she climbed back into the SUV with Tithenwen's sword and dagger.

"So why the hell are you here?" Elrond asked, impatiently.

"We are here to get your permission—" began Tithenwen and Elrond quickly cut her off.

"Why me?"

"Nana's orders. We have to—"

"Why not your idiotic father?"

"THAT WAS LOW! EVEN FOR YOU!" cried Tithenwen and she cursed in Elvish as she tried to fight her way free of Nicholas and Becca so that she could claw Elrond's creepy eyes out after she strangled him.

Elrond smiled and Tithenwen continued cursing.

"My lord—" Nicholas began and was cut off by Tithenwen.

"He's not worthy of being called a 'lord'! He's a low, disgusting, greedy jerk who likes to wear dresses!"

Nicholas shot Tithenwen a 'shut-up!' look and Tithenwen sent a nasty look back. Nicholas rolled his eyes and continued, "We would like your permission to get married. Aragorn has already consented, but the Queen Arwen has insisted that also have your blessing along with that of the Lady of the Golden Wood."

"You mean the psycho freak!" Tithenwen added.

Elrond glared at Tithenwen. Tithenwen smiled a big cheesy smile back at him and cause him to shiver.

"And what if I say no?" Elrond asked, arms crossed.

"Then we release the ghosts…" Tithenwen said calmly.

"Bring it on, bitch!" Elrond challenged. "I ain't scared of no ghosts!"

"Mary!" Tithenwen called over her shoulder.

Mary opened her window and called out, "Yeah?"

"Release the hounds!" Tithenwen ordered and an evil smile came across Mary's face as she turned around to yell at the four ghosts.

"Get a move on!" Mary yelled at the four ghosts, who had been sleeping.

Yawning, Merry, Pippin, Emily, and Jon hopped out of the trunk. Marshmallows and flame throwers in hand, the four ghosts sleepily made their way towards Elrond. They were so tired they almost collapsed on the ground. They hardly looked scary, let alone resembling the absolute terrors that they were.

Elrond almost fell over from laughing when he saw the ghosts. Tithenwen quickly looked around and suddenly remembered something. Yelling at Kate, Tithenwen called, "Throw them some candy!"

Out the window beside Dolly came four jumbo bags of candy. Each bag contained one of the four ghosts' favorite candies. The ghosts caught them, swallowed their bag almost in one gulp and attacked. Tithenwen watched with a real smile across her face and finally Nicholas and Becca let go of her. Elrond was scared half to death and high-tailed it to the safety of his rooms.

Tithenwen then led the remainder of the group into Rivendell, where they all claimed rooms. Elrond would soon give in and say yes, but hopefully not before everyone had a chance to almost completely destroy Rivendell.

Author's Notes:

Let the fun begin! Elrond has no clue what a mess he's gotten himself into! Oh well, he'll know soon enough! But not too soon! Hehe!

Next update by the end of the weekend (March 18th-20th)! But look for another one this week possibly!

Reviewers!

Boromir's Curse – That's a good idea! Hehe, maybe that's how we can scare Elrond later! He's gonna be in for some torture, that's for sure!

Mr. Random – PLENTY of Elrond torture is coming!
