Chapter Three
Elves in Heels
LEGOLAS/JAKE'S ROOM
"Hey, Legolas!" Jake shouted.
"What?" Legolas shouted back from the closet.
"What's going on with Taro and Kurama?"
Legolas paused for a minute. Finally, he said, "I think they're going out."
"Cool! It's not easy being the only gay couple in the group."
"Well, now we won't be alone." He emerged from the closet, decked out in designer tie-dye clothing with 3-inch platform boots. "Ta-da! Whaddya think?"
Jake shook his head. "Dude."
"What's the matter? Don't you like it?"
"No."
Legolas glared at him. "Shows how much you know. You have no fashion sense."
Jake was going to respond, but there was a knock on the door. He got up and opened it.
"Faythe, shield your eyes."
"Why?"
Legolas came out and posed for Faythe. "Don't you loo-ver it?"
Jake sighed. "That's why."
Faythe blinked. "Where did that stuff come from?"
"I bought it."
"With what?"
"With my Visa. Duh." He sighed and shifted uncomfortably. "I thought it was cool…"
"Of course you did, sweetie."
Hiei came up to them, took one look at Legolas, and began twitching. "I think I've been blinded."
"Would you mind getting out of here?"
"Sure." Faythe grabbed Hiei and dragged him down the hall.
Legolas looked down at his clothes. "I still don't think I look that bad…"
Jake hugged him from behind. "I know how to make you feel better…"
"Really." Legolas turned to face him. "I suppose this involves the clothes I spent $300.00 on lying, wrinkled, in a heap at the foot of the bed while we roll around on the bed?"
"Maybe."
"I'm folding my clothes first."
IN THE HALLWAY
"That was a very ugly shirt."
Hiei nodded in agreement. "Tie-dye is so not his thing." He paused. "If I ever say something like that again, kill me."
"Sure thing." Faythe paused for a minute.
"What?" Hiei asked.
"The twins are crying."
"How can you tell?" Hiei asked incredulously.
"I'm a mother." And she disappeared into her room.
Hiei couldn't even find a sarcastic remark for that one.
WITH SARA
Sara sighed and sat down on the grass. She needed to compose herself and get control of her emotions. She needed to think.
Sitting "Indian-style" on the ground, she began to meditate.
WITH FAYTHE AND ARAGORN
Faythe looked at her babies, then at her husband. All three of them were crying. The infants she understood, but why was Aragorn crying? She decided the best way to learn is to ask. "Why are you crying, sweetie?"
"This is so frustrating! I changed Vinnie and he peed in my mouth! Then, Liela crapped and it went all the way up her back!" He collapsed on the bed. "And the fact that your little Elvish baby affects my emotions when he cries."
Faythe rolled her eyes. "You don't have enough Elf in you, that's all." She looked around. "Where's Liela?"
"In the sink."
"WHAT!"
"I had to wash her off!"
Liela was splashing in the sink, which was overflowing with water and…something else.
"Alright. I'm going to show you how to take care of this."
TARO AND KURAMA
"Were you unpacking my stuff? That's so sweet!"
Kurama blushed and looked down at the ground. "It was nothing. Really."
"I still think it's sweet."
"Hush, you."
Taro just smiled and grabbed a towel. "I'm getting in the shower."
Kurama glared at him. "I was going to take a bath."
"Well, you aren't anymore." Taro thought for a moment, then grinned wolfishly. "You can join me if you like."
"Be there in a sec."
