Chapter 1

Entrance and Introductions

Lee and Renee fell through the sky at an alarming rate. Below, they could see the flood that Arwen called. Then they fell into the river.

Spluttering, they crawled out, and right in front of them was the path to Rivendell. Renee had lost her robes to the current, and Lee sighed as she pulled a fish out of the pocket of her cargo pants.

"Sushi?"

Renee whapped her upside the head.

"Let's go."

The path was smooth and well made, nevertheless Lee tripped twice.

Finally they could see Elrond's palacy-type house-a-ma-thingy. Lee walked up to the door, bowed, and motioned for Renee to enter.

"My lady."

Renee grabbed her by the ear and hauled her inside.

"Behave."

As they searched for Elrond and Gandalf they happened upon Arwen. Lee arched her back and hissed like a cat. Renee slapped her.

"Bad girl! Apologize to the scene-stealing hack!"

Lee looked Arwen strait in the eye.

"I don't like you."

Renee smiled.

"Close enough. C'mon."

Arwen looked at them.

"You're soaking. Would you like to stay for a while? I can get you some dry clothes."

They thought about it.

"Okay, we'll stay."

They flagged down a servant and Arwen had her escort the girls to some rooms. The servant led them down a maze of hallways until they were thoroughly lost.

Their rooms were connected by a door and overlooked the courtyard, so they could see all comings and goings. Hear them too, which just goes to show what Arwen thought of them.

"Nice. Hey, could you nick us some dry clothes?"

"Yeah," Lee added, "preferably men's."

"Of…of course…but, what should we address you as?"

They smiled. "I'm Lee, short for Lennie, which is short for Lenquo, which is my nickname. Some people at home call her D'Loatsae, which stands for Dark Lady Of All Things Sinister And Evil, but her name is Renee."

The servant girl stared blankly.

I'll go get those clothes then, shall I?"

If only she knew what madness was soon to occur.

Lee smiled and tapped her fingertips together. "Excellent. All is going according to plan."

Renee grinned manically and both of them cackled evilly. Renee promptly sat down and began making leaflets while Lee climbed onto the roof with a rather large basket of water balloons.
