Disclaimer: Again, I don't own anything. I might own the (quote fingers) "plot", but I don't know. It may have just been implanted in my brain while I was reading the Sunday comics or looking at all the movies in the TV Guide.
I Estel vinta amarbarenna lomeo O Duath: ? I'm confused...
Rose-Eye-Blonde91: You are very welcome. I don't care if you don't use spell check on reviews, I never do. (gets image of a threesome with Ella, Jack, and ice cream) Strange…
Ara Goddess of the Broken: Woo-Hoo! (claps)
PrincessofRain: Thank you! I'm updating like a good girl! One of my friends and I plotted to take over the world with sporks and duct tape. Had it all planned out, too, which states to take first. (I live in the U.S.)
I have switched this to Crossovers, because there are too many different characters. I may add some book characters, too.

"Okay, rules for volleyball," Aus started. They were all walking to the volleyball court, which was the other way from the beach. The court itself was sand and a net. "You can bump, like this," She tossed the ball up, then bumped the ball a few times off her forearms, then caught it. "You can set," Again, she tossed the ball up, did a few sets, then caught it. "And if you want, you can spike it."
"So to spike it…" Aragorn asked.
"Here, let me show you." She walked to the net, and tossed the ball up. In a sudden burst of motion, she slammed the ball down onto the other side of the court. "That, is a spike."
"Don't want to get in her way." Jack said. He had been persuaded into a pair of cargo shorts and a T-shirt, which was what the other guys were wearing, too. It was foggy again, so most of the girls were in their bathing suit tops and shorts.
"Volleyball face." Ara remarked with a smile.
On Aus's team, Team Yard Bird, were Aus and Legolas, Will and Ara, and Ella and Jack.
On Sara's team, Team Polecat, were Sara and Paris, Aragorn and Eruanne, and Sgt. Keira and Van Helsing.
Aus launched a perfect serve. Aragorn dove for it, and bumped it, but was then lying in the sand. Sgt. Keira took the chance and bumped it higher. Paris then set it over the net.
Will was able to get it back over the net with only one bump, but had to go onto his knees to do so. Paris attempted the spike, but it was returned by Legolas, who bumped it. Ara bumped to Ella, who set it over to Jack. He, in turn, bumped it over the net.
Sara bumped it, but had to move out of the way as it didn't get much movement. Van Helsing ran over and set the ball, and Eruanne got it over the net.
Unfortunately for Team Polecat, Aus spiked it, scoring first point.
Then next point came when Will launched the ball out of the court.
Sara did the same thing a bit later.
The final score was:
Team Polecat: 8
Team Yard Bird: 10
"Sandy, sweaty…" Ella muttered.
"Well that was fun." Will said, smiling. Everybody was tired, dirty, and sweaty, but happy. So much so, in fact, that the couples merely stood near each other, and didn't even hold hands.
"Oo! Oo! I know!" Sara said excitedly, waving her hand in the air.
"Sara?" Van Helsing asked, like a teacher calling on a student.
"We can go to the pool!" Everybody gave her strange looks. "We can just jump in like this, hootin' and hollerin'. The pool's crap, anyway."
This was a readily agreed upon idea, and they set off, concocting a simple plan of action as they did so.
Sara was in the lead, followed by the others. She opened the gate that led to a poorly maintained pool and hot tub. The pool was L shaped, and the hot tub sat sort of cradled in the L.
There were a few people there, a couple in the pool and a couple in the hot tub. There were also a couple people sitting on the lounge chairs reading. The quiet didn't last long.
On a predetermined signal from Ella, Team Yard Bird started to scream victoriously, and eventually it degenerated into wild yells from all. While they were doing so, they were jumping into the pool, in singles or pairs. Eruanne grabbed a hold of Aragorn just before she jumped, and pulled him in after her. Much splashing ensued.
It should be stated that, while there were no casualties, there were quite a few minor injuries. Aragorn barked his shin on the edge of the pool as Eruanne pulled him in, Aus hit her arm painfully on the edge because she didn't jump quite far enough, bruising it. Legolas sustained painful chlorinated eyes from the splashing. Somehow, Sgt. Keira managed to sprain her wrist, though nobody has been able to figure out just how. Sara sprained her ankle when she landed in water that wasn't as deep as she thought. A magazine was also wetted beyond salvation, as were the two unfortunates who were in the pool at the time.
Having done this, they suddenly stopped, the guys climbed out, and one by one, in a very synchronized swimming fashion, they pulled their respective girls out of the pool, and calmly walked off back towards the house. They all felt it was worth the pain. And the guy's shirts were clinging. D
Sara was limping badly, so had to go slower with the help of Paris, and so were at the back. Legolas was practically blinded –his eyes were sensitive-, so Aus had to lead him, and they were second to last.
"Where's Paris and Sara?" Ara asked, looking around. They had gotten inside. At that moment, there came a high-pitched, girly scream from outside, and Paris came running in.
"Sarahasbeenkidnapped!" He said quickly.
"What?" Legolas asked.
"Sarahasbeenkidnapped!" He repeated.
"Put spaces between your words, man!" Van Helsing told him, taking him by the shoulders.
"Sara has been kidnapped." He said as calmly as he could. There was a collective gasp.

They had all been changed into fitted, short sleeved black shirts, heavy black boots, and rip-stop camo pants.
"They could be in any of the houses." Eruanne said. They all sat around the dining room table, now turned into the war room.
"They may not even be in one of the houses." Aus suggested.
"First, we need to figure out who these people are, and go from there. Paris?" Sgt. Keira said. Everybody looked at him.
"Well?" Ella prompted. "What did they look like?"
"There were two men that looked like brothers, their hair came just to their shoulders. They were heavily armed and armored, and reminded me a little of Aragorn. There was a white, stylized tree on their armor." He said.
"Boromir and Faramir?" Aragorn asked, confused.
"Wait…" Ara said, standing. "Sara has a stash of DVDs under the bench. " She walked over to the bench and lay on her stomach in front of it to search through them. Luckily, Sara was a nerd and they were all alphabetized and in their series order, when applicable. She rummaged a bit, and found what she was looking for. "Was this who you saw?" She held up the FoTR DVD, pointing to the small picture of Boromir.
"Yes, that was one of them." he told her. They had all gathered around Ara.
"What would Boromir and Faramir want with Sara?" Eruanne mused.
"Besides the obvious?" Jack said. Everybody looked at him. After a moment of awkward silence, Paris spoke up again.
"They weren't the only ones there."
"What?" Van Helsing said.
"There were two others. One was Patróklos, I know, and the other looked a bit younger. He had reddish hair," Ara was already rifling through the DVDs. "and was wearing an orange jacket, jeans-"
"Scotty?" Ella asked, getting the "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" DVD out. There wasn't a picture of him, so she did scene selection to the point where he come up, and paused it. "Him?"
"Yes, him." They all made their way back to the makeshift war room.
"Boromir, Faramir, Patróklos, and Scott Evil." Aus mused aloud.
"What do they all have to do with each other, and with Sara?" Legolas continued. Sgt. Major Keira was simply observing her Privates, trying to draw her own conclusions.
"We must hunt them down, we must save her!" Will burst out, suddenly standing up.
"Will honey," Ara said, putting a hand on his arm. "We're trying to figure out where they took her right now." He sat down reluctantly. "and you have already used that line." His mouth shaped into an 'oh'. Sergant Major Keira tipped her chair back against the wall to think. Paris got up and started pacing, running his fingers through his curly hair. Ara rested her elbow on the table, and chin on her hand. Van Helsing leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. Will leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees, and Jack stroked his braided beard.
Aus got up, looking out of the glass door.
"Uh, people," She walked around the table to open the door. Everybody followed her gaze out into the bay. "Has there always been a Greek warship anchored in the bay?" She said, opening the door.
They all followed her out onto the deck, wide-eyed.
"Make that a fleet of Greek warships." Legolas said. Indeed, more became visible.
"Well that's not good." Jack said, always stating the obvious.
