Hola! So, what's up all? At the moment, I am on vacation in Washington D.C.! Fun... But I'm having Kelsey and Nicole post this for me while I'm gone so you guys get your chapters! And now, a couple reviewers...

Thegrandfour--nice name. I'm all out of cookies, but you can get a hug. 'hugs' Thanks for the review! I'm glad the story defies most words. I'm curious which ones it doesn't...

Justme--Aah! Flying Monkeys! Sorry, but it can't be helped that I'm going on vacation. But at least Kelsey and Nicole'll post for me! Right?

Okay, Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own it, last I checked. Or Nickel checked. Or Kelsey. And they check a lot to make sure I don't own it. If I did, I could wave it in their faces.

Note: Kelsey's PoV


Hippies!

As I was still in earshot of the suite, I heard someone mention hippies. I stopped mid-run, screamed and fell over. This attracted many stares, including Aragorn's, who came over a cautiously.

"What is the matter?" I stared up at him, my heart stopping for a moment. Then I began to ramble.

"As I was running to find a costume–today is Halloween–I heard someone mention dressing up as a hippie."

"What's a hippie?" Aragorn inquired.

"In a much sliced-and-diced form; a literal freak!" Aragorn looked at me oddly.

"And . . . what does this have to do with your screaming and convulsions on th–" Suddenly, Mandy raced out of our room, broom in hand.

"I'll save you Kelsey! I'll save you from whatever foul, horrible, smelly-" She stopped in mid-sentence, staring at the scene before her. "Kelsey . . . you did it…"

"Did what, Culfinien?"

"You captured your crush's gaze. NOT FAIR!"

"Sorry, Mandy! I just kind of swooned and–"

"Lady…Culfinien? Did you just call me-"

"Later Nitwit. Kelsey! That is so not-"

"But I thought your name was—"

"Man--Culfinien meant to call me Siriel." I interrupted.

"Lady Siriel?"

"You can just call me Siriel."

"Miss Siriel."

"Sorry, Lord Aragorn."

"Just Aragorn, please."

"All right then, Aragorn, just Siriel or Kelsey." I replied sardonically. "Now, you see, I do not like hippies . . . they scare me! And, you see, we have a holiday called Halloween–"

"What is Halloween?" asked Aragorn.

"It's where we dress up and ask people for candy. Anyway, when I heard someone mention hippies–"

"Who's talking about hippies?" asked Nicole and Allie in unison as they ran out of their room.

"Me," I answered. "Now, shut up and let me finish telling my story to Aragorn. AS I WAS SAYING, they said hippies, and I got this awful feeling that I would have to make the costume 'cause I sew soooo well and…well…I freaked out!"

"Yeah, soooooo well." Nicole muttered sarcastically.

"Now, it makes sense," Aragorn said slowly. "Well, do not worry yourselves. Elrond has a chamber laden with clothes that I am sure he will let you ladies borrow. Follow me."

The four of us just look at each other dumbfounded and followed Aragorn like blind sheep.

"Isn't he wonderful!" I whispered to the girls. Mandy rolled her eyes, exasperatedly. On our way to the clothes chamber, we ran into Legolas. Literally.

"OW OW O—Legolas! " Mandy gasped, staring at him. I could see the sheer admiration on Amanda's eyes. But, too bad for Mandy, I could tell from the look on Legolas's face that he was remembering their first encounter. After a moment of them staring into each other's eyes, Legolas turned to Aragorn.

"I was just coming to look for you," said Legolas to Aragorn. "But who, might I ask, are these children?"

"Eh-hem!" cried Mandy, forgetting about her crush."We are young adults or teens." She corrected. When Legolas turned to her, she gave him a flirtatious smile. "My name is Amanda, Mandy or Culfinien."

"Mine is Allie or Lachriel."

"Mine is Nicole, Nickel, Nicholet, Esme, Lenka-"

"Nickel!"

"-or Mirithil."

"And mine is Kelsey or Siriel."

"I was taking them to the clothes room to help get them outfitted for a certain holiday of theirs. Sounds like it would be quite fun. Want to come?" asked Aragorn.

"Why?"

"Because we want clothes for Halloween." I informed him. Legolas stared.

"I will explain later." Aragorn whispered before adding, louder, " If you don't mind, would you like to join us? Then we can discuss the road later." He started off, followed by me, followed by Legolas, followed by guess who.


What did you think? I hope you guys like it and that Nicole and Kelsey are posting this like they're supossed to! Later! (Kelsey: I wrote this chapter . . . Hope it wasn't too gushy or anything . . . Please tell me what y'all thought . . . I need encouragement . . .)

Hi it's Nickel. Mandy, I hope your happy with me, cause my mom is mad at me. But I have gone through the face of destruction! Go me.
