When Jade woke up she saw 9 men standing around her. She sat up and tried scooting away but a firm hand on her shoulder stopped her. "My dear we were beginning to think you weren't going to show up, thank goodness you showed up before we got too far from Rivendell." A man with a very long beard said.
"Wh-Where am I? And who are you people?!" Jade said standing up. "You are in Middle Earth child, and ley me start off by introducing myself as Gandalf. That is Aaragorn, Borimir, Sam, Mary, Pippin, Frodo, Gimli, and Legolas." Gandalf said pointing to each person.
Jade stared a little too long at legolas and when he smirked she blushed and quickly looked towards Gandalf. "Why am I here?" "You were chosen to help us on our quest, there have been rumors saying you've seen our future dozens of times." Gandalf said chuckling when Jade's blush deepened.
"Yes I have. I also did the makeup for the person who plays Legolas in the movies when they were made." Jade looked down at her feet. "What's a moo-vee?" Pipin tried to pronounce. "A movie is like a moving painting, except it's captured by a thing called a camera and it has sound." Jade explained, Pipin was more childlike in person which she loved.
"Why did you have to do the makeup for an elf? Elves are perfect in every way!" Pipin exclaimed. "Well in my world we don't have elves or any other type of person other than the race of men, and Orlando Bloom may closely resemble elves but he still needed work." Jade smiled down at him.
Pipin chuckled and Gandalf motioned for them to start walking. As they were walking the hobbits had many questions for her and she answered to the best of her ability without giving the story away. It was when Legolas spoke she froze in place, his voice melodic and inviting.
"Gandalf, do you know which race she will take after once she starts her transition?" Gandalf chuckled and turned to face them. "I believe I know what she will be but I shall leave that as a surprise." Legolas gave a crooked smile and said "I believe we should make camp, the sun is setting and I'm sure everyone could use a good meal."
Jade offered to help get firewood and while she was picking up sticks she noticed a clear stream and almost dropped what she had picked up jumping for joy. She quickly made her way back to camp and dropped her load. "Gandalf I saw a stream, would it be ok for me to go bathe?" Gandalf nodded and added "Legolas go with her to make sure nothing approaches her."
Jade didn't even care, she grabbed her bag and started to walk, making Legolas jog to catch up with her. When they reached the stream Jade stripped off her clothes, grabbed her toiletries from her bag and started to bathe not noticing how red the elf had become. After she had finished she got out of the stream and noticed the elf turn around. "Lady Jade! I'm sorry for staring, please forgive me." Legolas said his voice cracking.
"Don't worry about it, it's not the first time someone has stared at my body, I mean naked it is the first but it's not that different."Jade said picking out her purple lace bra, black tank top that showed a lot of her cleavage and a bit of whatever bra she would wear with it, and black skinny jeans putting them all on.
"You can turn around now. I'm ready to go." Legolas turned and picked up her bag and started walking. "I wish I had time to put on my makeup. I look terrible without it" Jade said. "Don't say that Lady Jade, you are very attractive and I'm sure you had many men who wished to court you back home." Legolas smiled down at her. "You'd be surprised." he gave her a quizzical look and they arrived at camp just in time for dinner.
After they all had full stomachs the questions began again. "Lass, you said you did the makeup for this Orlando Bloom fellow. Was he your lover?" Gimli asked and no one noticed but Legolas became increasingly interested in the conversation. "Actually even though I very much wished it he wasn't. I've never had a lover or boyfriend." Everyone's eyes widened. "But why? you're so beautiful!" Pipin exclaimed.
"Sadly, Pipin in my world im considered a freak. The way I dress and do my makeup is not very desired there and most avoid me at all costs, even Orlando would give me looks while I did his makeup." Jade gave a small sad smile. "I can see why, any wench showing off her bosom in such a manner like you has got to have something wrong with her." Borimir sneered and before Legolas could say something Jade replied.
"In my world this type of dress is usually worn to attract attention, on my hiking trip I brought it just in case I ran into someone I might wish to date." at that Borimir got up and huffed to his bed roll. As the night went on more and more people went to sleep. "Lady Jade you should sleep, we have a long day ahead of us." Legolas looked down at her offering his hand.
"I can take first watch, I always have troubles sleeping at night." She continued to stare at the fire. "Also just call me Jade. I hate all that formal crap." When she didn't hear Legolas leave she sighed and patted the seat next to her. "Want to keep me company?" She smiled smalley when he sat, crossing his legs just enough to where his knee was gracing hers.
