Chapter Thirty: The Four 'Elves'

"Sooo, now what are we gonna do? We've been kicked out!" Becca asked once they were a safe distance away from Lothlorien.

"Well, I'm not giving up yet! All we have to do is find a way back inside, then get Galadriel's permission!" Tithenwen explained.

"And how do you propose that we do that?" Nicholas questioned, annoyed at whole thing.

Tithenwen shot him a dirty look before she replied, "By pretending to be Elves."

"What!" exclaimed both Becca and Nicholas in shock.

"It's simple, really! We each pretend to be an Elf from either Rivendell or Mirkwood. But not everyone can go."

"So who's going?" Becca asked cheerfully, hoping she was one of them.

"Legolas, unfortunately will have to come because he is an Elf; Mary; Dolly; and me."

"But I wanna be an Elf!" whined Becca.

"Get over it! Besides, why would you want to be an Elf when you could be a Ranger?" Tithenwen said, hands on her hips.

"Because Elves get to wear pretty dresses!" Becca pouted.

"Then go back to Gondor and take my place if you want to wear dresses!" Tithenwen snapped, glaring at her cousin.

"You do realize that you are going to be wearing a dress, right?" Nicholas whispered to Tithenwen.

"Duh," said Tithenwen, rolling her eyes.

"But I thought you hated dresses!"

"I do!"

"So why would you volunteer to wear one?" Nicholas asked, confused.

"Because it is part of the plan!"

"Oh!"

Tithenwen rolled her eyes once more and smacked Nicholas upside the head. He glared at Tithenwen as he rubbed her head.

"What in Middle-earth was that for?" he asked.

"For being an idiot!" Tithenwen replied.

At the campsite that night, Tithenwen told everyone her plan. They all agreed that it would work. Everyone was also fine with his or her jobs. Well, unless you counted Becca who was still in a sour mood.

"What kind of Elves are we going to be?" Dolly asked.

"Well we are supposed to be cross-dressing Elves because I only have female Elvish clothes and it is all girl's dresses," Tithenwen said, making a face.

"What?" cried Legolas in horror.

"I think Leggy here would look good in pink. What do you think?" Tithenwen asked Mary with a smile.

"I think he would look just lovely!" Mary replied with an evil smile.

Legolas gulped in fear.

Mary, Dolly and Tithenwen had way too much fun messing with Legolas and helping each other. Tithenwen had to wear a dark colored wig to hide her Ranger hair and so did Mary, and Dolly fashioned a new wig for Legolas. Thy also had to make their own pointy ears. And while Legolas was sleeping, they gave him his new wig that had pink streaks in the blond. He of course thought his hair had grown back over night.

Then it was time to pick the dreaded dresses. All three girls grimaced when they opened the trunk that Arwen had hidden in the SUV. It was overflowing with dresses of every color and design. Unfortunately, because they were supposed to be cross-dressing Elves they couldn't wear black and Arwen had thoughtfully left all of Tithenwen's favorite dresses back in Gondor. They set aside a pick dress for Legolas to wear before picking their own. Mary picked a light green gown that Arwen had given to Tithenwen. Dolly picked a purple gown that had a white beaded shawl that went with it. And Tithenwen picked a light blue and silver gown similar to the one she had been wearing when Nicholas proposed.

The three girls quickly changed into their gowns. Mary and Tithenwen both put on their wigs with a little help from Dolly and Kate. Then Becca and Kate applied make-up while Nicholas and Faramir dragged a kicking and screaming Legolas to get his make-up. The guys had already gotten Legolas in his pink gown and when they made it to the girls, they bungee corded Legolas to one of the middle seats in the SUV. Kate and Becca applied his make-up and left him in the SUV while Mary, Dolly, and Tithenwen finished packing.

Once packed, the four 'cross-dressing Elves' started walking towards Lothlorien.

Author's Notes:

This got posted much later than I intended and I'm very sorry about that. It was written in my book but I couldn't seem to find time to type it and my computer was having issues again with Word every time I had my book. And then I lost my book for a few days. Anyways, the next chapter should be up in a week and I've already begun writing it. Plus I only have three more weeks of school and then updates will be more regular.

Reviewers!

Laer4572 – Psycho Elf lady is going to be in for it coming real soon. Well, actually all the Elves in Lothlorien are in for it!

Faramir Fancier – He hasn't found his wig—yet. He's been too busy with an upset Galadriel to notice it. I've memorized parts of her lines in the Prologue too, so you aren't crazy. And the mirror should, but she either doesn't really care at the moment or the mirror isn't working because it's been superglued back together a few too many times.
