Chapter 6
It was the beginning of December. Miranda was ready to start the fun! And it was just her luck that it snowed the night before.
"SNOW!" Miranda shouted out upon seeing outside. She quickly looked for something to wear. All she found were dresses. "No." Miranda groaned to herself. She found the clothes she arrived in. An idea sparked in her head. /To Strider's room/ Miranda thought and ran down the hall. She was after all only half an inch shorter than him. He was tall for a human. So that made Miranda tall as well.
"Strider." Miranda whispers coming into his room. He was gone. /Yes/ Miranda quickly raided his closet and 'borrowed' some warm looking clothes. She did leave a note.
:hey Strider. Needed some clothes. You're the only one who came to mind first. I shall return you clothes, sometime, when I'm done. Hope you don't mind. Have a nice day! - Miranda:
After getting dressed Miranda literally flew outside. She immediately started to make snow angels. She then started to make snow balls. At this time Strider had entered his room, and finding the note looked in his closet. He found his winter clothes were missing. He would need them if he was going to the archery fields with Legolas and the twins.
"Estel. Where are you heavier clothes?" Questions Elladan.
"I have to go and find them." Was the reply. The elves thought this was quit amusing.
They traveled all around the homely house. They did not find his clothes in the house. Instead they decided to go outside. And had a surprise waiting for them.
Miranda had made enough snowballs to hit everyone in Rivendell ten times. The hobbits had come by earlier and she was now teaching them how to make a snowman.
"See you have to make a small ball to start off. Like these." Miranda says showing them the snowballs. Each hobbit now had a snowball in there hands.
"Now what?" Pippin questions. The hobbits just now realize Miranda had on dark colors. She never usually wore dark colors. "And what are you wearing?" He questions.
"Warm clothes. Dark colors attract heat." Miranda replies. "Now you place the ball in the snow, like so, and roll it. You continue to roll it till you get the size you want." Miranda explains. Her and the hobbits all line up and start rolling Miranda is familiar with this, so she's faster. The hobbits just seem to like the idea. "This is going to be your bottom. So make sure it's large enough to fit two more balls." Miranda says. At that moment one of her friends was walking by, his name was Glorfindel.
Glorfindel's POV.
I was walking around when I heard the last of Miranda's sentence.
"Large enough to fit two more balls." She says. I immediately become suspicious because of this statement referring to men, that is till I see what they are doing.
"What are you doing?" I ask
END POV.
"What are you doing?" Miranda hears from behind. She looks and sees Glorfindel.
"Making snowmen." Replies Frodo.
Miranda looks at hers compared to the hobbits. "Actually it looks more like a snowman, and four snow hobbits." She says. And she was right. Hers was larger than theirs.
Strider can finally see Miranda up ahead talking to Glorfindel, and the hobbits.
"Miranda!" Strider yells
"Yah?" Miranda asks casually looking over to them.
When they got closer the elves could see why Strider was mad. Miranda was wearing his clothes.
"I would like my clothes back." Strider calmly states.
"No! I'm not done yet!" Miranda yells at him. She backs up and gets next to her pill of protection. Also known as snowballs.
"Miranda." He starts sternly.
"Hey, I talked to Elrond about new clothes. All he gave me were dresses." Miranda replies.
"I need my clothes to go to the archery fields." Strider says.
Miranda looks at herself and grins. "Okay. But I just need to go change." She replies. And takes off. She returns a few minutes later with striders clothes, but she's wearing someone else's.
"Here you go." Miranda says giving Strider his clothes
"And whose clothes are those?" He asks taking his clothes. Unfortunately they're wet.
"Uh….yours." She says cautiously. "I just borrowed other ones." Miranda replies casually.
Miranda returned striders clothes every night. But every morning she would return and 'borrow' them again. It did not matter where he hid them she found them. It was now lunch time on the 2nd. And Miranda was talking to the hobbits.
"I can't wait till Christmas!" Miranda says/sings.
"What's Christmas?" The hobbits question
"You don't know?" Miranda asks horrified. The hobbits just shake their heads. "I'll explain it to you then. It's a celebration in my world. It takes place on the 25th of December. The day before, the 24th, is called Christmas eve. That's the day most people wrap their gifts." Miranda starts to explain.
"What are gifts?" Asks Pippin
"Their presents you get from friends and family. You open them on Christmas day. There's also a big feast for dinner. You sing carols on Christmas eve. At least my family did. We always sang songs before we went to bed. It's awesome." Miranda explains. The hobbits look entirely excited. During Miranda's explanation the rest of the Fellowship, and Elrond and his children had come in.
"Sounds dumb to me." Says Boromir.
"Well anything sounds dumb to you Boromir if you don't know of it." Miranda replies. There she goes with that mouth again.
"Why you!" Boromir started, but was interrupted by Gandalf.
"Sounds interesting Miranda." Gandalf says before a huge fight started.
"Thanks, and I know exactly what to get all of you!" Miranda says excited. Then it suddenly hit her how long she had, and took off with a "Bye guys!"
Miranda ran all the way to the smiths. She had run to her room and got her sketches. She got there and started to work. She had made a deal with the smiths. She would work for the gifts they would be making for her. One worked with the metal, and the other supplied the wood to the fire, and inscribed writing on swords. She also would need some of the wood they had. They were the only ones who got the most wood. They didn't even use all of it. She ran to the other weapon maker and placed an order for a bow. He said it would take a few days to make the right bow that she wanted.
Five days went by. It was now the 7th. She was at the moment at the smiths workplace. She was watching them work, and was working herself. She had found she had to carve boxes out of wood. She had already carved the hobbits boxes. She was now working on the twins' boxes. The first smith was at the moment working on Elladan's dagger. The other was inscribing Elrohir's with a saying she wanted. She had made out a plan for what she wanted the weapons to look like. She was giving six people weapons. She was writing two books for gifts. She also had to carve a gift. She had crafts to make as well. She just did not know what to get Elrond. She had to get all of her friends a gift. She decided to get the smiths gifts as well.
/Boxes done for Frodo-check, Sam-check, Pippin-check, Merry-check, Bilbo-check, Gandalf-check, Glorfindel-check, Elladan-check, Elrohir-check, Arwen-check, Aragorn-not check, Legolas-not check, Gimli-not check, Boromir-not check, Erestor-not check. Gifts made- Frodo, Merry, Sam, Pippin, Bilbo, Glorfindel, Arwen, the twins, Legolas, and Gandalf. Still need to be done are- Erestor, Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli./ Miranda mentally checks off. There are still 17 days till Christmas. Miranda still had no idea what to get Elrond. She had decided to write Erestor a book of stories she knew in elfish. He seemed to like poems the best. Miranda was so busy people rarely saw her. She met with the cooks often to give them her orders for the feast.
At this moment it was night time. So she was in her room making small bags for the goodies she was making for her friends. She decided to sing a carol, not knowing that Elrond was walking by. She never really liked to sing in front of people. She did not think she was very good.
"sigh-high-lent night, ho-oh-ly night,
All is calm, all is bright,
Round young vir-ir-gin mother and chi-ild,
Ho-ly infant so-o tender and mi-ild,
Sleep in heavenly pea-eace,
Slee-eep in heavenly peace
Elrond stopped outside the door.
Sigh-high-lent night, ho-oh-ly ni-ight,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stre-eam from heaven a-far-r,
Heavenly ho-osts sing all-le-lu-ia,
Christ the sav-oir is bo-orn,
Chri-ist the savoir is born,
Sigh-high-lent night ho-oh-ly-y night,
Son of god,
Love's pu-re li-hight,
Ra-diant bea-eams from thy holy fa-hace,
With the da-awn of rede-emming gra-hace,
Je-sus lord at thy bir-irth,
Jesus lord at they birth,
Je-he-sus lord at thy birth.
Slee-heep in heavenly-y peace"
Lord Elrond left and went to his chambers.
The next day Miranda was rushing around getting all of the last minute orders out. There were only 16 days left and she was getting frustrated. No one seemed to understand what she wanted. Her orders took weeks to complete.
The week went by. Now there were only 9 days left. Miranda had finished all of her gifts. That is she still needed one for Elrond. All of her hand made boxes had melted down jewels inside the carvings. The names had a silver metal in them. Each name had a design coming out from the name. The design looked like vines, but they weren't. The hobbits had a forest green in the carving. Legolas had a sky blue in his. The twins had yellow. Aragorn had a midnight blue. Glorfindel and Erestor had light green. Boromir had a red. Arwen had purple. Gimli had orange. Gandalf had a mixture of all of them. Miranda had no idea what to do for Gandalf so she waited till the end. She ended up using all of the colors in a mixture. So he had rainbow.
It was the 19th and Miranda was finishing up her bags. She would put in each bag candy she had made herself. It would consist of mints, fudge, a homemade candy cane, some caramel, taffy, and some homemade suckers in the shape of the persons name. Miranda would have to spend hours working on them. She would even make some for the cooks and the smiths. She hid her gifts under her bed. She decided to go outside and find the hobbits.
Miranda soon found the hobbits. They were making more snowmen next to their others. Miranda decided to show them how to have a snowball fight. Many hours later they were all covered in snow. And that was how Strider found them.
