The Road Goes Ever On And On

Chapter Twenty-nine: Galadriel's Birdbath
Galadriel arrived at her mirror, only to find it broken. With an inhuman scream, Galadriel called for Haldir and Celeborn, who came running.
"My lady, what is wrong?" Haldir asked, worried and scared.
"Someone destroyed my mirror!" she cried, pointing at the shattered mirror.
"We shall fix it then, please go and relax, my dear," Celeborn said.
Galadriel nodded and went away and as soon as she was out of sight, Haldir whipped out the Elven superglue. Celeborn smiled and they went to work supergluing Galadriel's mirror back together again. Within a few hours, the mirror had dried and was all one piece once more. Satisfied with their work, Haldir and Celeborn went home.
The following morning, all of Lothlorien was annoyed. They had all seen some form of Mary's handiwork and no one was too pleased. And all the Elves immediately piled the blame on Aragorn's daughter. For some reason, the Lothlorien Elves held a great hatred towards Men and they took all their anger out against Tithenwen and Nicholas. Since Dolly, Kate, and Becca were tall and blonde, the angered Elves mistook them as Elves. Mary and Faramir were nowhere to be found otherwise they would be sharing the blame with Tithenwen and Nicholas.
"Have you no respect for our home!" a very tall Elf yelled at Tithenwen.
"Of course I do!" Tithenwen yelled back.
"Then why did you destroy our trees!"
"I don't have a clue as to what the hell you are talking about!"
"Someone defaced our beloved trees with colored writing!" yelled another Elf.
"Well it sure as Mordor wasn't me! If you have forgotten, I respect the Wild seeing as I am a Ranger! And my mother is an Elf!" Tithenwen yelled, really starting to get ticked off.
"That doesn't mean a thing!" a group of Elves yelled at her.
"Why I--!" Tithenwen began as she began to unsheathe Anduril.
Nicholas cut her off, sheathing Anduril, and whispering to her, "Don't do this. If you do, Valar only knows what will happen!"
"Silence!" screamed Galadriel as she appeared, after having come from her mirror.
All the Elves in attendance quivered and shook as the Elven queen walked towards them. Tithenwen showed no fear even though on the inside she was scared to death. Nicholas wasn't afraid of the Elf because he didn't know about her psycho moments. Everyone else knew about the Elf's psycho moments and were scared on the inside if they didn't show it on the outside.
"She is innocent! I have seen it in my mirror! Someone else was responsible!" the Elven queen told everyone.
"Told you so!" Tithenwen yelled triumphantly.
All the Elves except for Galadriel stuck their tongues out in disgust at Tithenwen who made a very unpleasant face back. Galadriel rolled her eyes at the childish antics of her only great-granddaughter. Tithenwen could sure bring out the child in anyone and easily tick people off.
"Tithenwen!" Galadriel yelled at the joyful Half-Elf.
"What?" Tithenwen yelled back.
"I need to talk to you, alone."
All the Elves ran for it. Becca, Dolly, and Kate dragged Nicholas away. Within seconds, only Tithenwen and Galadriel were left. Galadriel looked at the Half-Elf, who glared at her.
"Tithenwen, why don't you just leave Lothlorien and return to your own people?" Galadriel asked.
"Because they are not my people! I'm not from Gondor! I spent 16 years in another time, another world! Of course, you wouldn't know this!"
"I do know about this, Tithenwen. I helped your mother with the spell. I was there when you were born."
"Then you know that I'm not a normal girl!"
"Tithenwen, why can't you go home?"
"I don't want to! Nana told me that if I wanted to marry Nicholas I had to get your permission and Elrond's permission. And I'm already halfway there! I can't quit now!"
"Why do you love Nicholas?" asked Galadriel, curious about Tithenwen's relationship with the Ranger.
"Because he understands me and trusts me! I wandered into his camp, and he allowed me to stay! He found out who I was and tried to protect me by taking me back to Gondor. He almost died for me! And Saruman made me believe that he was dead, and I realized that I loved him."
"How long have you known Nicholas?"
"Less than a month I guess. Well since not long after nana and ada's wedding. Why do you even care?"
"For some reason, I could not see you in my mirror for the longest time. Besides, I wanted to know about him since you want to marry him."
"And you can see me now?"
"Yes, I see a bleak future for you, my dear. I see death surrounding you and pain. I don't see happiness."
"Whatever," Tithenwen said rolling her eyes, and turning away.
Galadriel grabbed Tithenwen by the arm and spun her around to face her. She then hissed, "You do not believe! You have no clue! You cannot marry him! If you do, you doom yourself and him to a miserable existence! You would bring about your deaths!"
"I don't care! I love him! Besides, where there is death there is also life! There is always hope!" Tithenwen yelled and she wretched her arm from the psycho lady's grasp and ran.
Later that day, everyone met at Galadriel's mirror to do impressions of the psycho lady. They were having a contest.
"Things that were, things that are, and some things that have not yet come to pass," recited Mary and then she did an impression of a psycho Galadriel and recited her speech to Frodo.
"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!" Faramir cheered as he clapped for his wife, who took a bow.
Kate went next and gave a rather poor impression of Galadriel. She couldn't remember the lines. Dolly went after Kate and gave a way better impression than Kate and added her own Nazgul impression afterwards. Tithenwen hid behind Nicholas in fear and he tried to calm her down. Becca couldn't stop giggling and did the worst impression so far.
Emily did her impression and was cackling insanely and shooting flames into the air with her flamethrower. Tithenwen went last and as she was doing her impression, Galadriel appeared.
"What on Middle-earth do you think you are doing!" Galadriel roared and spooked Tithenwen who crashed into the mirror.
The mirror soared through the air and landed on the ground, shattered into zillions of tiny pieces. Galadriel shrieked and Tithenwen, Nicholas, Mary, Faramir, the ghosts, Becca, Dolly, Kate, Legolas, and Gimli ran for it.
"Get them!" Galadriel screamed and armed Elves appeared out of nowhere, shooting arrows at the group.
Faramir, Mary, and Legolas shot arrows in retaliation. The ghosts shot flames and flaming marshmallows while Dolly, Nicholas, and Becca had to drag Tithenwen to ES Brego. Nicholas, Becca, and Tithenwen galloped out of Lothlorien and the others hopped into the SUV. Dolly climbed into the front seat and drove towards the seven fighters. Honking the horn, Dolly hopped back into her seat and the seven fighters jumped in and Mary floored the gas pedal and the SUV took off.
Author's Notes:
No, they aren't quite done with Lothlorien yet. They still haven't gotten permission yet, so they'll be returning soon. Next update due in about a week! (By the way, Mary won the contest!)
Reviewers!
Faramir Fancier – It is a piece of Dollar Store junk! And all those poor birdies… Glad you enjoyed it!
Mr. Random – I honestly don't know who is creepier—Psycho Galadriel or Elrond. Evil geese! Insane chickens chased me when I was seven at my school! They were going to peck me to death!
Laer4572 – Hopefully, he learned his lesson, but I highly doubt that!
