Bullseye-Fanatic: Oh, I know. Believe me, how well I know! Like I've said before(I don't know if you've seen it) while I'm writing these chapters I'm either laughing hysterically because it's driving me insane, or wanting to puke my guts out.
BlackRosePoison-Orchid: MY story is getting to HER??? It's getting to ME!!! It's driving me up the wall! My parents think I'm insane! Okay, no, they don't. My SISTER does, though...
RoonilWazlib42: Why, to have the joy of flaming, of course. Why else? And how DARE they insult it. It's terrible, isn't it?
Arndis: Oh, it's SO FUN to write those fake reviews. Really. I get such a kick out of it. Of course, it also makes my eye twitch to butcher the English language with such horrendous spelling...
Psalm 136: If you get nauseous even THINKING about it, then I would not suggest writing one. Honestly. It gets to you. This story is changing me... it's making me crazy... IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE!!! Often I feel like banging my head against the wall until I pass out while I'm writing a new chapter... Oh, and don't worry, something will happen with the cousin, I promise you.
Zelscar: Loved, hated, there isn't much of a difference in MS stories. You can love to hate them, hate to love them, etc etc etc. As to your story, good for you! Let me know when you get it up so I can peruse.
Mikagami Mifuyuu: Such an evil, evil plot! It's not a bad enough end for the likes of her, though. Truly, we must have something worse.
Fili: Yes, most of the time I feel just awful, torturing poor Legolas this way. I try not to think about it. I'll try the ginger ale thing.
shieldmaidenofeorlingas: Rabid Tolkien fan is a perfect way to describe me! I'm so obsessed with the books and movies. Anyway, thank you. I gag writing it.
Slayer3: There's another girl reading this story whose name is Faith, and like I told her, I just picked it randomly. Just like Rebecca's names. Just random whatever-popped-into-my-mind-first names. So don't be offended!
Cowgirl4Christ: Trash, garbage, refuse, etc etc etc... Well, at least you reviewed now! I LIVE for reviews! I'll probably e-mail you when I remember about that thing you were speaking of.
A/N: Another chapter to drive me more insane that I already am. Oh joy.
Disclaimer: Fortunately, I do not own Lord of the Rings, for I could not have done as good of a job as the wonderful Tolkien, and unfortunately, I do own the Sues, Rebecca and Faith. I HATE THEM!!!!
Chapter 7
Again, Rebecca Maria Elizabeth Carissa Lauren Jennifer was not happy. Her room was cleaner than it had been an hour ago, and now she stood, pouting, while her cousins, aunt, and uncle came through the door, hugging their relatives.
Rebecca's cousin, Lindsey, came over to say hi. She forced a fake smile and acted like she was so, so happy to see her cousin. Truthfully, she hated when her Aunt Jill, Uncle Joe, and their kids, Lindsey and her brother Thomas, came to visit. Especially now, when she was in the middle of such a wonderful writing spree!
Lindsey Anne Riley was a true Tolkien maniac. She had the books in paper-back, hard-bound, she even had the books on CDs. She had every poster, every collectable item, even the really expensive ones, like the swords and such. She had all the T-shirts, she had re-makes of the costumes, her room was decorated totally in Lord of the Rings stuff. The posters from all the movies of the characters and things adorned her walls and she had Lord of the Rings bedding. She had learned every scrap of Elvish that existed and could speak and write it.. She had read all the books that accompanied Lord of the Rings and was, in a nutshell, utterly and completely obsessed. She wore one of the real Rings that had been used in the movie, either on her finger or on a chain around her neck. Her parents had paid a boatload of money for it and she was still paying them back.
Of course, the main, absolute reason why Rebecca loathed her cousin was this: the girl hated Orlando Bloom. She 'didn't care for his portrayal of Legolas' and thought all the Legolas fangirls out there were really, really stupid. In truth, Rebecca had misunderstood Lindsey. She didn't truly hate Orlando Bloom. She didn't hold him to be a terrible actor, but she did hate his followers. Silly, pathetic teenage girls with an unhealthy obsession for one person. It was ridiculous.
Half an hour later, Rebecca had managed to persuade her mother to let her skip dinner, because she wasn't feeling well. It was a lie, of course. She didn't want to have to put up with her family until she couldn't possibly avoid it, and plus, there was her story to write! It hadn't occurred to Rebecca Maria until just then that she could skip dinner. If it had, she wouldn't have uploaded the chapter, she simply would have saved it and added more later. But, no matter. Now she could simply write a whole new chapter! She giggled in anticipation as she sat down at her computer.
They were no new reviews on the most recent chapter, but she hadn't really expected any, as it had only been up for a few hours.
How fortunate was she! That she could find the time to type up a new chapter while the guests were here! Eagerly she started typing, and it soon turned into rapid, frenzied writing. In no time at all she was done with the chapter, though it was shorter than she would have liked it. She would have liked more romantic parts between Faith and Legolas, too, but as it was, it just didn't fit in the chapter this time. She figured it wouldn't be long before someone came to check on her, so she decided to just go down and act like she was all better.
An hour later...
Lindsey lugged her duffel bag up the stairs into her cousin Rebecca's room. She really didn't want to stay in that room, with all the posters of Orlando Bloom, but she had no choice. With a grimace she surveyed the room, finding it just as she expected-overflowing with Orlando Bloom pictures and paraphernalia.
She tossed her bag onto the bed, then noticed the computer. She thought she might as well check her e-mail, as she hadn't checked it for a week. They had stopped for a few days on the way here to visit with some friends of the family.
She was just about to click on the internet icon when she noticed the Wordpad document titled 'ROMANCE'. Interested, she opened it and started reading.
Chapter 6
Within a few minutes they had left the camp, almost all traces of their ever having been there erased. As they rode, the entire Fellowship, Legolas especially, entreated Faith to sing them a song, and she obliged them with a sweet Elvish love song.
But one was not enough for her eager audience, so she sang again and again until her throat was dry. They had just come upon a stream, and she dismounted, going for a drink. Legolas followed while the rest of the Fellowship kept going.
Faith lowered her small cupped hands to the water and drank from them while Legolas watched her. He stroked her arm softly, moving closer. She lifted her head and he lowered his, and their lips met in a passionate kiss.
The kiss ended as they both pulled away, dizzy and breathless. She smiled shyly, her cheeks blushing scarlet. Legolas took her arm and pulled her close, nuzzling her neck. She giggled in delight, then looked at the group ahead of them.
"We'd better catch up, Legolas." She said after another brief kiss-too brief, she thought, but they did need to regroup.
"No, I think I'll walk for a while," she said when Legolas offered to help her mount. Taking Sweetness's reins, she walked alongside her love, listening to him as he told her tales of his homeland. Since they were already at the back of the group, they figured a few stolen kisses would go unnoticed-and they were right.
"Oh my gosh!" Lindsey felt a sudden need for a toilet. The pot roast that had served as supper was dancing wildly around in her stomach. She couldn't read any more... no, she had to! She had to know how bad it got-what horrible things her cousin was writing.
Legolas and Faith had just separated after another quick kissing session when they heard a shout from ahead.
A band of orcs! "Oh no!" Faith shrieked, grabbing her sword.
Legolas grabbed her arm to stop her from charging forward. "It's too dangerous, Faith! I can't let you go!"
She stared into his eyes. "We can't let them ruin our mission! We must continue on!"
Legolas pushed her back against the horse. "Stay here, where it is safe. Don't worry, we'll take care of it."
Faith nodded, kissed him quickly, and let him go. She mounted her horse, just in case they came after her. Then, at least, she would have the advantage of height and quick transport out of the fighting zone.
Suddenly, an orc was coming at her, and before she had time to react, Sweetness got spooked and took off at a gallop. Faith tried desperately to gain her balance, but no good. She fell and struck her head against the hard ground. The last thing she remembered was seeing Sweetness beating a hasty retreat and hearing her name being shouted.
"Oh my goodness!" How horrible could it get? Lindsey felt extremely ill, so she minimized the document and went to lie on the bed, hoping her stomach would calm down.
How on earth had her cousin turned in to a Mary Sue writer? Lindsey shook her head. Why even bother to ask that question? She knew how. Rebecca had always had a major crush on Legolas, ever since Lindsey dragged her to the movies. And now? This was the result.
I wonder if there is more... Lindsey thought, then reasoned with herself. Of course there is more. The title to it said Chapter 6. So there is a lot more. Six chapters of that! Much as she was curious as to how bad it actually was, Lindsey knew she could never read it all. But she and Rebecca would be talking later, there was no doubt of that.
A/N: Yes! So that is what is happening with the cousin. Finally, I get to write about a SANE TOLKIEN FAN! YEAH! Lindsey is like me! Well, me in my dreams. I wish I had all the paraphernalia that she has, but alas, I have not the money for it. Oh, and sorry there wasn't a whole lot more to Rebecca's story this time. Worry not, there is more mushy gushy disgusting romance to come! To love/hate it as you will!
