Thanks to everyone who has taken a look at the story so far! Here we go with Chappie Five!
Chapter Five
Dinner, which was more potstickers, went well. The hobbits were drooling over the weather lady (except Sam, of course), Gandalf was explaining the love between Jennie and Antonio and why they couldn't be together to Boromir, Aragorn was tempting Gollum with a spare potsticker, Gimli and Oz were playing with a tennis ball, Alicia was still in the shower, and Galadriel, Legolas, Elrond, and myself were talking about their plan to get home. I couldn't explain it to you: I barely heard a word, too busy staring at Legolas to listen properly.
All homework was pushed aside as, on the end of the second day, everyone already felt like they were a "fellowship."
Two more days passed, and two more tardies arose. The hobbits were put back into the uniform room, Alicia and I were late to all our classes, we had a near heart attack as Sam sneaked out to use the restroom and almost ran into the Art History teacher, and our homework wasn't done. We had circles under our eyes and I nearly fell asleep in the uniform room during lunch, watching the hobbits devour my meal.
That night, after sending everyone to bed, turning off the TV (I didn't want Gandalf to watch late-night entertainment and learn about loose women), I walked upstairs and sat on the top step of the stairs, spreading out my math homework. Alicia was asleep, her homework done and, after hobbit sitting all evening, fell asleep before she even changed into pajamas.
"I know how much trouble we've been," Elrond said, walking up the steps and sitting next to me.
"You and Legolas and Galadriel have been in the bathroom and the laundry room the whole time; Legolas is the only one we've seen since the day Alicia and I pulled back the shower curtain. Just tonight we have gotten to know you."
"And for that, I am sorry. So much for the politeness of the elves, I suppose. Since we have all figured out how to go back, we will enjoy the time we have with our two hosts. And, we will help you and Alicia make it look like we were never here."
"Thank you," I said, rather stunned. Then, I remembered Alicia and her little crush and asked, "Do you think that maybe Legolas and Alicia could spend a bit of time together? I mean, alone that they could talk without chasing after the hobbits or saving the dog from Gollum?"
"Like we are talking now?"
"Yes, I suppose..."
"I will see what I can do."
"My homework is done!"
"Yes, Alicia, you did it last night..."
"No! It's correct right now!"
"Yeah, Lord Elrond helped me with mine, too."
"I never knew an elf knew math."
"This is the first time we've met an elf, though, isn't' it? Oh, and Alicia? I'll clean tonight. You and Legolas need to have a chat."
Math homework went flying.
Friday went well, the hobbits cleaning up the uniform room and staying out of trouble. Neither Alicia or I were in trouble, received a tardy, and we both had 100 on our math homework! Thank you, Elrond!
Friday night, Jessica and Kimmie were going to come over, but Jess had to leave for a quick family trip and Kimmie was gone with her family, also, for the weekend, so it was just us at home again.
Gandalf was explaining TV to Gollum, who ventured out of the closet, tired of potstickers and, instead of listening to the wizard, was looking at the dog with a hungry eyes. Gimli and Oz, unaware of the danger, were sleeping on the floor, the two looking like equally hairy brothers. Galadriel was sitting royally on the couch, the four hobbits were eagerly anticipating the weather report, Aragorn and Boromir were down in our room, spraying each other and wasting our body spray, while Legolas and Alicia were sitting in the backward together as Elrond and I sat on the steps.
When the stars came out and everyone was snoring where they usually slept, Alicia came inside, looking as shocked as the day the elves arrived, clutching her cheek.
"He... He kissed-"
"Your cheek?"
"Yeah, this," she answered, pointing at her face.
"Well, everyone is sleeping. Tomorrow is our last day; they all go back in the morning."
"I know."
