Sorry I haven't written anything down in forever, but the internet was down so I had to wait. Hopefuly you all won't flay me alive or something (shudders). Okay, here's the knew chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings. Thank God! I'd be dead if I did. Bianca and Tanya are mine though. You steal them, you die!

Chapter 5: Speaking Solutions

A weird beeping noise awoke Tanya and she sat up quickly, squinting her eyes to see in the darkness. She could just make out the sound of tapping and almost silent music. Without making a sound, Tanya lit the candle on her bedside table and it gave her enough light to see Bianca on the floor, playing a PSP.

"I don't believe you!''she squeaked, making Bianca turn around with wide eyes. "You've had a form of technology and didn't tell me?''

"Uh. . .sorry?''Bianca said weakly, trying to hide the contraption behind her back.

''Give it to me,''Tanya ordered, holding out her hand.

''You're askin' the wrong one.''

''Hand it over!''

''Let me think. . .''Bianca said, pretending to do so, ''no!''

At first, it seemed as if Tanya was going to blow her top, but then she suddenly began to calm down and she was the perfect picture of sereneliness.

''Okay,''she said simply and turned to get back in the bed.

''That's it?''Bianca asked in suspicioun, inching closer to the bed and her sister nodded. " Why?''

''It's yours, isn't it? You have a right to it.''

''Right. . .''she nodded and Tanya blew out the candle without another word.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Next Morning&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The rays from the sun woke Bianca and she rolled onto her sighed, yawning as she opened her bleary eyes. She slowly slid out of bed, vaguely noticing her sister's side of the bed being empty, and stumbled over to her vanity to do her hair. What she saw in the mirror made her drop the brush and her sleepy eyes widened five inches.

''Taaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&The Dining Hall&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Tanya smirked in satisfaction when she heard the screech of her name throughout the entire castle. The elves stared at her in utter confusion before the loud bang of the large, dining room door being thrusted open, caught their attention. There stood Bianca, all of her hair covered in a sticky, brown substance. Her eyes were filled with anger as they searched the room for the culprit.

''You!''she growled, pointing a finger at her sister. ''You did this!''

''Me?''Tanya asked in an all too innocent voice. ''Why would I do such a thing?''

Hvaing seen the sight of Binaca, Elladan and Elrohir snickered into their goblets of water. Both knew, from many years of experience, that the accusing look on one of the girl's faces and the smug look on the other's ment that someone had pulled a prank

With what sounded like a war cry, Bianca dashed forward at almost lightening speed and tackled her sister out of the chair. They both were sprawled out on the ground, Bianca trying to choke the crap out of her sister and Tanya returning the favour. Strider rushed forward and tried to pry them apart with little to no success.

''A little help here?''he asked Elrohir and Elladan and together they managed to pull the girls apart.

''Send them to seperate rooms, Estel,'' Elrond ordered. ''Atleast until Mithrandir comes. Maybe he will have a solution to the language barrier.''

With that, the twins were seperated for the rest of the morning. Bianca was sent to the room to wash the goo out of her hair and Tanya, to the library. Even though both were in completely different wings of the castle, both had the same train of thought: 'This situation sucks ass!'

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Afternoon&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Tanya sat in a corner of the massive library, still sulking about the fight and when her stomach growled, she sulked about her unfinished breakfast. Her sulking was brought to a pause when the doors to the library were opened and a tall, old man wearing grey robes walked in. His face was wrinkled, his hair and beared were long and grey with age and his eyes danced with wisedom. Tanya spotted an object in his hand and he seemed to be trying to give it to her.

She reached out for it and examined it. The object turned out to be a knecklace of some sort. It was a thin, gold chain with what looked like a purple pearl, dangling from it. Tanya put it on, a small, tingling sensation flowed through her entire body and she looked at the old man with curiousity. He smiled, making even more wrinkles appear, but it was not unkind.

''I see that it is working,''the man chuckled and her mouth dropped to the ground. ''The language barrier is penetrated.''

''What the hell?''

''I believe introductions are in order. I am Gandalf the Grey and you are. . .?''

''Tanya.''

''Well Tanya,''began Gandalf, ''let us go to see your sister.''

She clenched her jaw, but followed him out of the library without any signs of protest.

They found Bianca, clean once again, sitting on the bed. She turned around to see who had walked in and scowled at the sight of her sister.

''What brings you here, sister dear?''she snarled and then added, ''Who's the old fart?''

''Just take the damned knecklace so we can all get on with our lives,''Tanya snapped. ''He's been holding it out to you for a century!''

Bianca snatched the knecklace from Gandalf and put it around her kneck.

''Now you two are able to read and understand what we call Westron,''Gandalf explained. ''The only person who can take off those knecklaces are yourselves. They hold very strong magic, but are not breakable and won't fall off.''

''Oh shit! I can understand you!''

''I think we've established that, Bianca,''said Tanya.

''I think we've established that, Bianca,''her sister mocked, in a babyish tone.

Tanya sighed and left the room leaving her still sulking sister behind with Gandalf.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Yay! The language barrier is gone! Now the real fun begins, but in another chapter. Luckily, you won't have to wait for it, because I've already written it and it should be posted. Review!
