Stalking the Fellowship
Chapter Eight
Fran had enough of her Barbie pink dress besides, she thought, no one else here is wearing bright pink! So when, the opportunity came she fell backwards from Mo and Maddy and sneaked off. She had no idea where she was going, just as long as it was away from elves laughing at her, behind their emotionless faces.
Her stroll had taken her to a clearing through the dense tress. There she saw a waterfall and a short stumpy figure diving from the top into the pool below. Then another shadowy figure followed. Fran eased further forwards to see who these peculiar elves were and was surprised to see...
"Where'd Fran go?" asked Mo.
Maddy swiveled around searching for a Barbie pink robe, through the blur of greens and white ones of towering elves. "I didn't know she had left," confessed Maddy.
"We'd better find her before she does something stupid," Laughed Mo.
"OI!" Said a voice behind Mo and Maddy, "For your information, I was depressed about wearing this stupid coloured robe, but I found something that really made me laugh," said Fran with a cheeky grin on her face.
"What is it?" Said Mo.
"Follow me" said Fran.
All three sneaked up as close to the pool as they could, without being spotted.
"What are we looking at?" Asked Mo.
"Shhhhhhhhh!" Answered Fran, "just look at the pool." Suddenly, the hobbit Merry rose from the swirling clear blue pool.
"Ew! He's naked!" Screamed Mo.
"I know. That's the funny part," said Fran. Pippin swam up to Merry and thrusted his hand forward on the surface of the water, making a mini tidal wave splash with Merry's face.
"HEY!" Cried Merry, and a water fight began with Merry and Pippin's naked bodies bobbing above and below the surface of the water. (As I read this over a year after it was first written I wonder what my dear friend Francesca was on!)
####"I saw Pippin's willy, and it was really small! It looked like a frankfurter!" Cried Maddy.
"Well I saw Merry's" cried Fran and it was like Cumberland Sausage!"
"That's not fair!" Screamed Mo once more. "I want to see!"
Little Mo hurriedly scrambled up the bank to get a closer look, but unfortunately slipped and fell in. ####
The hobbit abruptly stopped their water fight and turned to the sound of something splashing in the water.
Maddy and Fran looked at Mo fall into the water in slow motion. They're emotions went across the spectrum of all out hilarity to abject horror when thinking they were going to be found out.
Meanwhile, Merry and Pippin were staring at Mo who had come up spluttering from the water her light purple dress now stained from the water. The dress was sticking to Mo, the bottom trying to float up in the water, though it was being held down by Mo's hand.
Mo looked at the two and turned blushing, "I'm sorry" she said her back turned. "I was racing my friends, one of them pushed me in," she explained lying though her teeth.
"That's ok," said Merry though you could hear embarrassment in his voice.
"It's not every day an elf joins us in a bath," finished Pippin.
Mo got out of the pool and started wringing the water out of her dress which caused both the hobbits to blush.
"What?" she asked.
"We can umm...see your leg,s" Merry explained.
"Right," Mo shook her head "you realise that water is clear and I can see all of you, so I'll be going now."
"Wait!" exclaimed Merry.
"What?"
"What's your name?"
"Oh...erm....Ithildin!"
"I'm Merry."
"Pippin."
"Well I better be going now."
When Mo found Maddy and Fran who had hurried back to their room in fear of being caught, they were in various stages of laughter.
As soon as she walked in they tried to keep a straight face, but it didn't work. So instead laughed so hard that their sides hurt.
"That was... sooooooooo...funny!" Fran gasped out
"Yeah, I particularly like the part where you left me to accept my fate!"
"You need to change," said Maddy trying in vain to get up.
Mo glared and walked to the cupboard. Just then they heard voices outside their room. "We just met the strangest elf, Legolas!" said Merry.
"She fell into the pool!" Added Pippin.
"What was her name again?" Merry asked Pippin.
"Erm....Ithildin! Did you notice that it took her a long time to remember our name?" Replied Pippin.
"And she didn't ask what we were!"
A/n The text with #'s around it was written by our friend Mhairi, we didn't think she had it in her!
