Hey everybody! Loving the reviews, keep 'em coming! ;) LOL do any of you listen to Weird Al? I know Gina does...hehe, I'm listening to Your Horoscope For Today...kill them...hehe...reviewers:

Gina--HA! I watched you write this! LOL Halloween was flippin' awesome...we need to do that again...

Elflette--I do believe that you are a new reviewer! Here's a cookie! YAY! My daddy didn't want me to go trick-or-treating, but I was an elf last year. I bought this really crummy prom dress at a resale shop and my mom helped me add stuff. It turned out okay...but my favorite part was the ears! They were pointy!

BlackRoseOrchid-Poison--Ernie is strange...he's got issues...(love ya Ernie!)

Iceprincess141414--Oooo...cute guy? If we're almost as great as cute guys, I thank you. That means we're almost at the top of the ladder! YAY: P

Okay...this chappy was written by Nickel 'cause the last time I tried to write this it didn't turn out as good. Hope you like it and REVIEW REVIEW!

Disclaimer: I disclaim ownership. There you go. In other words: We do not own, pretend to own or want to own anything belonging in the estate of J. R. R. Tolkien. The fluff the comes from our heads is just that: fluff and a severe destruction of Tolkien's miraculous work. Just look at what Mandy has done to Legolas. (Mandy:...I resent that)

Edoras!

(we seem to be getting in a lame title streak, cuz we mention place names a lot . . . I wonder how many chapers titled Edoras exist on this site . . .)

Nickel's PoV

"Oo...pretty," Mandy commented beside me.

"Be quite Mandy," I advised.

The hall was long and wide and filled with shadows and half lights; mighty pillars upheld its lofty roof. But here and there bright sunbeams fell in as glimmering shafts from the eastern windows, high under the deep eaves. The floor was paved with stones of many hues; branching runes and strange devices intertwined beneath our feet. The pillars were richly carved, gleaming dully with gold and half-seen colors. Tapestries covered the drafty walls, dark with age and shadows. But one was shining brilliantly, woven with metallic threads and sunlight fell upon it for so it was placed: Eorl the young. He was actually kind of cute . . .(Mandy: Is Nicole actually looking at guys?!)

Theoden sat across the hall, bent with age 'till he was as short as Gimli, his white hair looking like it needed a haircut.

"Issues," Kelsey murmured in my ear. I nodded so slightly as to barely be a nod at all. "We ought to stay out of the way," she continued, "particularly," she nodded her head slightly in Mandy's direction.

We shuffled over in Mandy's direction where she was passionately kissing Legolas, the two of them oblivious to the seriousness of the situation.

"Mandy," Kelsey hissed, "Amanda Marie!"

"Won't work," I told her. "But I know one thing that does!"

"Nickel, don't-" Kelsey began, but I cut her off.

"I won't do that...yet." I walked up behind Mandy, who still didn't notice. "Mandy! Lake just scored a touchdown! We're ahead!"

"Whoo hoo..." Mandy mumbled, still somehow finding a way to keep kissing him. I rolled my eyes.

"Mandy, is he a good kisser?" I asked, hoping I was being somewhat annoyed. I heard a snigger somewhere in the midst of all the kissing.

"Yes," Mandy responded.

"MANDY!" I shouted, but they still didn't break apart. "Is this all you two are going to do for the rest of the day?"

"Yes."

"Oh...okay. I didn't want to do this...well, no, I've wanted to do this since you guys started."

I whacked Legolas and Amanda at the same time across the back of their heads and wrestled them away from each other. Due to the violence of the action, we were noticed behind Gandalf by Wormtongue.

"But who are these that follow at your tail? Six ragged wanderers in gray and you the most ragged of the seven!"

"I don't think he can count," Mandy observed, then looked over at me. "Hey...how did you get your staff back?" I hit her.

"So glad you cared to join us," I sarcastically replied. "Okay...one, he didn't notice Ernie, because then he would have to mention the guy wearing a creepy cloak that reminded him of how creepy Sauruman is. He probably thinks Ernie is on his side. And, two, I stole it back."

"Oh." Mandy returned to staring, deeply into the depths of Legolas's eyes.

"Oh no you don't," I whispered and wrestled them apart.

Mandy under normal circumstances isn't that hard to control forcibly. When in the depths of passion, however, there is an issue. Kelsey managed to hold her back while I held Legolas back. I wasn't afraid of him injuring me, Mandy would hate him, and he knew it. So within a reasonable amount of time, we had them under control - until Gandalf called from outside.

"Twit, come here."

I glanced at Kelsey, "How long have we been wrestling Legolas?" She shrugged.

"Master Legolas." A servant came up and bowed to him. "Come and prepare yourself for war."

Confused, Legolas followed him. I trotted over to Gandalf.

"Twit, we are to go to destroy the threat of Sauruman while we have time. Where will you go?"

I didn't have to think about that one. "With you, Gandalf, we shall follow you to the end. We may not be men, but Kelsey and I can fight for good, and Mandy, though she cannot fight, will defend what . . . certain others defend until the end. And she doesn't want to miss out on the action."

"I knew as much, but it is time we stop assuming things."

"Oh, but it makes life so much more interesting." I turned on my heel and returned to the hall. Kelsey and I did not need to take weapons from Edoras, for we had the bags and Amanda couldn't fight anyway.

I found Kelsey anxiously twisting her hands as she scurried after Mandy and dragged her away from the armory.

"You'll just kill the guy!" could be heard over the din in the hall. Imagine that, Mandy kills Legolas. What a thought.

Eventually, somebody managed to control the general chaos around us and the three of us meandered over to Theoden's big throne thing. I plopped down into it and Kelsey perched on an arm while Mandy leaned against the side of the high back. Whoever designed this chair was a moron, cuz the height made anyone sitting in it look short.

"Hey, has anyone seen Ernie?" Mandy asked casually.

Kelsey and I shared a horrified glance. "Armory!" we shouted in unison, knowing the damage Ernie was liable to inflict when surrounded by sharp things would make Mandy's destructive ability seem like nothing. We ran off in the general direction of general weaponry.

We found Ernie without much ado, and then proceeded to drag him back to the throny thing. Despite its defects, it was really quite comfortable. There, hiding behind the chair, looking as if they were eating each other's faces, were Legolas and dear Mandy. I knew she had mentioned Ernie much too casually. The two were promptly separated.

Within the hour, we had eaten and mounted up without much trouble other than seating arrangements.

To quote Tolkien on this momentous occasion: "Forth Eorlingas!"

Short, sweet, and to the point. Mandy asked me to type up Edoras, since the original was way too out of cannon. The section isn't even that long, so I just did it! Yippee! For the wrestling match, and the eating of faces, I would like the thank Amanda's boyfriend, who hasn't read this part yet, but will (hopefully) recognize the term of "face eating." The two of you really need to exercise self control. Dude, you are disrespecting Amanda and giving her a bad reputation! If you two are going to eat each other raw, get married! Do it Mexican! (Mandy: ...don't ask) And by the way, you are a vicious brute! Sorry, reviewers, that was for Mandy's boyfriends who decided to insult Kelsey and me thinking it counted as a compliment to Mandy. He didn't even read the chapter, just reviewed cruelly. I also happen to be in a bad mood right now, cuz I have a practical tomorrow (as of typing, not posting this) on a marriage ceremony in Veracruz. My spouse and I have to tie a bow in a twenty foot rope using only our feet!

OMG...Nickel, this chappy is AWESOME! LOL, I revised it to include all the dialouge that took place on Friday...tee hee...with you talking to us and stuff...MWHAHAHA! LOL Legolas is coming off as kind of a loser...my boyfriend's a lot sweeter, in my opinion, which no one cares to ask for. Love you Isaac!--Mandi (P.S.) we really need to shorten our notes at the end. R&R please!)

Ummm...wow...Mandy's really going off the deep end guys...Well, at least Nicole and I will remain steady!! I'm on the flip side of Nicole's mood right now: I'm pretty happy! It's Saturday!!!! And I'm listening to "O Shone Nacht." (The "o" in "Shone" should have those two little dots over it, so it's pronounced "Shur-nuh.) Well, I guess that's not so cool 'cause I have to do it for an audition coming up and sing it for our Region concert...fun...So, I have it playing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...again...and again...trying to get the hang of it 'cause it's in German and the accompaniment does not help the singer at all...AT ALL!!!! Anyway, you get the point! R&R!!! --The Editor
