Hey guys! Guess what? Homecoming was this week! It was great...I didn't go to the game, we lost anyway, but I went to the dance with Nickel, Gina, and my bf, Isaac. It was awesome...lol, you three are AWESOME! I love you! Anyway, reviewers...
Waterstar2.5--New reviewer! YAY! Congradulations! You get a cookie! Ooo...I made some snickerdoodles yesterday...you can have one of those. : )
Iceprincess141414--The rain's stopped!...kind of. I think it might be back again. But at least the weather's chilly! That's rare and very welcomed down here.
Whoever you think it is--Wow...I'm honored. ::bows:: Though, btw, Nickel does co-write this with me. Actually, I think that most of this chapter is written by her. (The Editor: FYI, most of TTPBNLT was written by Nickel...) Anyway...YOU'RE A NEW REVIEWER TOO! Have a snickerdoodle. : )
Okay, so homecoming's my excuse for not having a chappie up until now. But it's a good excuse, right? Seriously, it was amazing. We met up with a bunch of friends at a pizza place (which was really great--all of us in our fancy dresses when half the people there are in jeans) and ended up walking to our high school. Very funny stuff...especially when it rained earlier that day and you're walking...yeah...I'll shut up now... yeah, we walked about a quarter mile and gina was barefoot and there was a bunch of glass in the road, so she had to be careful. And there were these other people - closer to the school than us - in a fancy steakhouse who had hired a limo. I think we knew them . . .I did!
!!!!!!!!!!Important!!!!!!!!!!
Here's another chappy for you wonderful people, and I'm not posting another one until I get at least 5 reviews on this chappie. So if you want another chappy, REVIEW! Ernie and Isaac, I hope you two are reading these soon. Trust me, YOU CAN REVIEW IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT. Just be 'anonymous'.
Disclaimer--Nope. Still don't own it. Sorry...I've let you all down... ::sniff::
Hit the Elf
Kelsey's PoV
"Why can't I ride with Legolas?" Mandy complained.
"Because I said so."
"That's so unfair!"
"I don't care." I gave Mandy 'Galadriel Eyes' while trying not to crash the horse. My success furthered my ego, but we'll not go into that.
Ernie's PoV
"Can I have your sword?" I asked.
"No, you are not of the right lineage and Gandalf said no weapons," Aragorn told me.
"Gandalf won't know."
"I heard that!" Gandalf called back.
"Don't make me sic Kirby on you!" Nicole yelled.
"Puh-shaw!"
Mandy's PoV
"No, you can't ride with Legolas!"
"But I wanna!"
"No."
"Please????" Look back, Kelsey. Look back and see my puppy dog eyes.
"Mandy, I'm not going to look back and see your puppy dog eyes." …Darn. "And I dare you not to speak in 1st person until we get to Helm's Deep."
"But I—"
"For each time you speak as such, I will…whack Legolas."
"No fair. You always threaten me!"
"ONE!" Kelsey counted loudly.
"Fine. Mandy will talk in 3rd person."
"Good Mandy."
"Mandy thinks Kelsey is mean."
"I love you too, Mandy."
"Gah!" Why doesn't anything phase Kelsey?!
Legolas's PoV
"Gimli, do you feel anything odd about Lady Amanda's friend?"
"Which one?"
"The boy."
"Other than the fact that she seems attracted to him because she hugged him?" Gimli smirked. I glared at him. "Well…he is a bit odd."
"I mean…does he seem…well…different to you? From the ladies, I mean. He seems more…well, crazy."
"Perhaps he is ill."
"Perhaps."
Nicole's PoV
"Is it common among your kind to argue often?" Gandalf asked as Kelsey and Mandy galloped by, the latter screaming something in 3rd person.
"Well…sort of. We just love to insult each other. There are even people who say words not even worthy of orcs made to be insults but used in a way as compliments. And of course one cannot leave out the large array of explicit hand gestures."
Gandalf was silent.
"So…how much longer will we be riding?"
Mandy's PoV
"I'm tired!" Ernie yelled.
"It's dark!" Kelsey called.
"Let's rest!" I yelled.
"Mandy!"
"What?"
"TWO!" Kelsey was feeling evil.
"NO! NO, NO, NO KELSEY!"
"Very well." Gandalf circled Shadowfax to a halt. "We will rest. The horses would go on, but they would not travel so fast and far."
"Check, Cap'n." Nickel slid to the ground. Kelsey marched over to Legolas.
"Kelsey, no, please, don't!"
"Mandy, shh!" Kelsey snapped. Leggy saw her coming and fled, but he hadn't traveled five feet before he tripped over Nickel's staff.
"Nickel!" I yelped at her, but she just stuck her tongue out at me. He stood quickly, but it was hopeless. Kelsey punched him once, then again in the stomach.
"Leggy, are you all right?" I squealed, running over to him. "Kelsey is so evil."
"Shh. Lady Amanda, I will be—" Leggy collapsed as Ernie kicked him in the back of the knee.
"ERNIE!"
"Kick the Elf!" He yelled as Aragorn and Gandalf restrained him. "Kick the Elf!"
"Bad Ernie!" I yelled back, helping Leggy to his feet and hugging him tightly. "Bad, bad, bad Ernie friend!"
"Ernie friend, dark enemy of the world," he corrected. I stared at him, for a moment ignoring my wheezing elf.
"Fine."
Gandalf let him go. "What did you call yourself?"
"Ernie friend, Dark Enemy—"
"Do not call yourself such! That name is of evil ones!"
"But it's my name! It's what I am!"
"Do not do so!"
"Yes, Mr. Don't."
"What? What did you call me?"
"Well, you're always saying 'don't' or 'do not'."
"Be quiet!" I yelped. "Legolas are you okay?"
We rode on as the sun rose, mounting as before since Kelsey wouldn't let me ride with Legolas. She was, of course, very grumpy due to the lack of sleep. A very grumpy Kelsey is not good—especially when Nickel is reciting a dictionary she has somehow acquired. But anyway, we rode South—at least, they said it was south—as the sun rose. Our conversation that morning was as follows (excluding Nickel's recitation).
"How are you this morning, Kelsey and Lady Amanda?" Aragorn asked us. I rolled my eyes.
"Well," I answered.
"Sleepy, Ada, so don't bother me!" Kelsey grumbled.
"All right—" Aragorn began, but Kelsey scowled at him.
"You got a problem with that?" she demanded. Aragorn stared at her.
"She's PMS-ing." I explained. The poor guy still looked clueless.
"No, I'm not!" Kelsey shouted.
"Okay, nevermind, she's not."
"Was that why she punched me?" Legolas asked innocently. Poor elf…I think he's scared of her.
"No, I did it so my knuckles would hurt." Legolas seemed to accept this answer, to Kelsey's surprise.
"You wanted your knuckles to hurt?" He asked.
"Naw…really, I wanted to hurt your poor, stupid self. It's 'cause Mandy wouldn't shut up. So it's all your girlfriend's fault." I contemplated hitting her, but decided not to considering the injury that could be done to myself or my Elf.
"Kelsey—"
"What, Ernie?"
"Can we hit the Elf some more?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because I said so."
"That's not fair!"
"Tell me about it," I grumbled behind Kelsey. She whacked me upside the head. "OW!"
"Shut up."
Nicole's PoV
"Gandalf, what do you expect will be waiting for us in Edoras?"
"I fear Theoden is in the hold of Saruman's magic already. Why do you ask?"
"You may ask a question I choose not to answer."
"You have become very secretive, Twit."
"Yeah, well, it gives me something to laugh at."
"And what would that be?"
"People trying to figure my secrets out."
"A very interesting hobby."
"Actually, I embroider for a hobby."
"Really? I thought you completely favored the duties for men."
"Nah, I like pretty stuff." Gandalf rode silently for a time behind me.
"What do you expect?" He asked. I smiled.
"A whole lot of horses."
New chappy! And I typed it all in one sitting! Again! YAY! OMG, everybody I know in person, are you going to the Brook vs. Lake game on Friday?! 'Cause I am SO going! Isaac'll be there! Hip hip hooray! So I'll be skipping in school for the rest of this week...how awesome is that?
Oh yeah...please review, reviewers or no new chappie, and I'll be forced to hunt down the Fellowship for the fun of it! Except Legolas. ; ) R&R!
Hey, all! Hope you enjoyed it...I'm really not that mean, honestly! --The Editor of MBDTA
