I can't believe I'm updating it this quickly... Oh, did I tell you all that this awful thought came upon me for a sequel? Oh, goodness... I'll probably end up sickening myself further and writing. However, it wouldn't be with Rebecca and Faith, so you can all feel free to do whatever you like with them once the story is over. Anyway, tell me what you think of my sequel idea.

I replied to you all using the reply button thingy so that I don't have to type it up here. I might just continue doing that, it's somewhat easier...

Oh, little note, some cookies for Cowgirl4Christ: You were my 100th reviewer! But, to be fair, everyone else gets cookies too. This is my first story with over 100 reviews and of all the stories I have, present and future ones, I didn't think this would be the one to have them. In fact, I didn't think it would be nearly as popular as it is.

Chapter 12

Why I Am Updating So Quickly, God Only Knows

Probably Trying To Get This Story Over With

Of Course, Then There Is My Pesky Sequel Idea

Hmm...

Rebecca was happy once again. It seemed that the girl was quite destined to be happy these days. She had more reviews! Six more to be precise. The new chapter had only been up for a little while, and already this response from the public!

LegisGirrlll: so, u guna rivew? i git th 1st chtr up. reed! reed! plz? plzzzz? btw, lovvvvv the chtr! ril rommanse!

That pesky girl again. Rebecca shook her head and resolved once more never to read her story. After all, if she read someone else's little work, it would detract from the brilliance of her story somehow, she was just sure.

LeggysTruLuvv: pleeeeeeeeez updet! pleez? guud romense!

LeggiesNumbr1Gurrl: Gld th felowsip is gon. i hat tem. interuuptiin FAITh and LEgGy! gud that thy gon

LeggysGurl: mor kisin sines!

LegolasLuvver34: STupid fleoswhip. ddiscaspeered lk that. glid FIaht has the riing froDo was 2 stUpid to hendle it.

For the second time that day(or maybe it wasn't even day yet, it could have been the middle of the night; Rebecca had no idea. She was too caught up in her excellent story and reviews!) Rebecca saw the name of a certain reviewer and froze.

For the second time that day, she tried not to read it, but her eyes refused to obey the urgent command from her brain.

TrueTolkienFan: Lord, help us all. YOU GAVE FAITH THE RING AND MADE THE FELLOWSHIP MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? HOW ON EARTH CAN YOU CONSCIOUSLY DO THIS AND FEEL NO GUILT WHATSOEVER? YOU ARE THE SADDEST, MOST DISGUSTING, MOST PATHETIC LITTLE WORM AND YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS WRITING A STORY OF ANY KIND! Like they really had memories to leave behind? Please! And Frodo, who has, in fact, just disappeared, left behind Sting and more importantly the RING? I DON'T THINK SO! What did you do with them, anyway? You ignored them throughout all of your 'story' but then remembered that they existed and decided you had to get rid of them? HOW CAN YOU DO THIS? TOLKIEN WOULD BE ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE! I'M SURE HE IS! YOU CALL THIS A LITERARY WORK? PLEASE! LOOK AT YOUR REVIEWERS! THESE PEOPLE WHO SUPPOSEDLY LOVE YOUR STORY CAN'T SPELL TO SAVE THEIR LIFE!

Once again it went on for much, much longer, and once again it left Rebecca flung across her bed, sobbing.

Rebecca was an extremely sensitive girl, which is why she liked animals. She didn't have any, because they were smelly, but she liked them and nearly cried every time she saw an animal out on the street. Therefore such a harsh review on her exquisite story was sure to almost break her poor little heart.

However, just as she had the day before, she stopped crying with fifteen minutes or so, got up, and went to type the next chapter of her story.

"I will show that nasty person! My story is wonderful and everyone loves it." Rebecca said to herself as she typed. She comforted herself with these words, muttering them for a few minutes before she settled down.

Chapter 11

Faith had no idea where she was, nor did she care. All she knew was that she was tired. Oh, so incredibly tired. Her arms ached, her legs ached, her neck ached... everything hurt. The girl could barely think clearly, and she wondered where exactly they were.

Rebecca paused for a quick moment. She had never read the books, and she never would. Everyone raved about them and that disgusted Rebecca immediately. But for a split nanosecond she regretted not reading them, because she didn't know any locations in the Middle Planet world, or whatever it was called. She had barely paid any attention when she had gone to see the movies; she had been waiting for those dumb midgets to get off the screen mostly so that they would focus on Legolas again. Another reason she would never read the books is that she knew that that Tolkien person didn't mention Orlando Bloom; she had asked Lindsey about it.

The young writer decided she could ease her way around that obstacle and continued writing.

After a quick search before leaving they had found Sweetness munching on some sort of bush in the forest. They had loaded bags onto her, but neither Faith nor Legolas was riding at present. They were, actually, taking a quick break from their journey and kissing each other passionately. Legolas's fingers were tangled in her beautiful silky hair, Faith's hands were playing with his Elven braids, and their lips were crushed together. They kissed for nearly ten minutes before moving on, but in another hour they were taking another break and kissing again.

Faith sighed contentedly as Legolas's lips reached her own. There was something about the magical power of the kisses of Elves, she was sure, that was nearly... intoxicating. In fact, she-

"Rebecca! Rebecca!"

Her mother's voice carried into the room and soon the mother herself appeared in Rebecca's doorway. She had a phone in her hand. "Jeff's on the phone."

Rebecca shot up. Jeff! Jeff was Rebecca's latest boyfriend; he was the heartthrob of her entire school and a major hottie. He was also star of the soccer team. Rebecca had never liked football guys; most of them were too fat for her tastes. But Jeff was the perfect guy... and such a hot one too!

She decided her story could wait. She hadn't talked to Jeff in weeks; he had been on vacation with his family in Hawaii for some family renunion.

"Hi, Jeff," she said into the phone.

"Hi..." Over the phone came the sweet, silky sound of Jeff's wonderfully deep voice. Rebecca smiled to herself.

"I've missed you." She oozed, flopping down onto her bed.

"Yeah... uh... listen, Rebecca. We need to talk. See, I don't think that we should... see each other any more... Okay?"

Rebecca sat straight up, her mouth hanging open so wide a bird could've flown in.

"What? Why? What did I do wrong? Seriously! Jeff? Don't do this, please..." The girl was crying by now.

"I'm sorry, Rebecca. I just don't think we're right for each other. Listen, I gotta go... You okay?"

"But... but... I love you, Jeff! Doesn't that mean anything?" She said through her tears.

"I'm sorry. I gotta go." Jeff had, luckily, come to his senses and realized what Rebecca truly was. A very long and descriptive e-mail sent from Lindsey had aided his decision, for he wasn't truly stupid.

Rebecca started to say something else, but all she heard was the dial tone. In a quick burst of anger she flung the phone across the room. It hit the wall and the back popped off, leaving the batteries hanging out.

For the third time that day, or night, or whatever it was, she didn't care, Rebecca Maria Elizabeth Carissa Lauren Jennifer flung herself across her bed and sobbed her eyes out. Her heart was broken, utterly and completely.

After a good hour or two, the tears had run out. The teenager felt like sleeping, but she knew she couldn't. She had to finish that chapter of her story. If she didn't have romance in real life, then she could live it through her character Faith. Anyway, she could get any guy in school that she wanted, with her exquisite beauty.

Rebecca picked up her story where she had left off, determined to make it extremely and excessively romantic. With a bitter taste in her mouth, she remembered all those makeout sessions with Jeff, in his car, in her backyard... Rebecca thought she had found everlasting happiness, but, apparently, she hadn't.

In fact, she believed she was becoming addicted to Legolas's kisses, since she didn't seem able to go half an hour without them. When she did actually manage to go an entire hour without them, which was a feat indeed, when she finally did get to kiss her beloved Legolas, it had to be for a long period of time, which was the exact reason for their coming together now.

Eventually they sat down, but they were still kissing, and then they ended up laying down and completely making out, but it was pure kissing and nothing else.

Kissing, kissing, kissing, was all the two could seem to think of, and they kissed continually for an hour or more, until they realized the sun had gone down and it was time to make camp.

While Legolas went to find firewood, Faith took out the Ring and examined it. It was not an ugly ring, to be sure, but it lacked ornament of any kind... no jewels, no gems, though those were really the same thing... nothing carved on it, no intricate design etched into the gold. It was just a plain gold band, and therefore nothing that tempted Faith. She did not think it ugly but it was nowhere near being pretty enough for her tastes.

Soon Legolas was back with an armload of wood, and Faith cooked something incredibly delicious for them. However, it was not two bites into the dinner that they were kissing again in an incredibly passionate fashion.

There! That was excellent! Excellent romance! Surely enough to appease the reviewers for now, anyway. Unhappy and heartbroken though the girl was, she hurried to post the chapter and then laid down on her bed.

Looking down at her hands for no real reason, she noticed she was still wearing the ring that Jeff had given her a month before. It was a really pretty ring, made of silver with some sort of green stone in it, but, nevertheless, Rebecca took it off and put it on her dresser. She wasn't sure what she was going to do with it, now that she and Jeff were over, but she would figure something out. Maybe she should keep it as a reminder of all the wonderful times she had had with Jeff, all through their two months of being together.

A/N: OH! Disgusting sappiness! I literally almost threw up while writing this chapter. I think it's probably the worst of them all. Oh, GAG ME! It's so gross! ICK! ICK!
