Lily was secretly hoping that Annabon wouldn't be smart enough to follow her to Rivendell, but that was not the case. Despite all of Annabon's grumbling, she ended up running past Lily very quickly. Lily attempted to catch up, but almost fell down and decided it wasn't worth it. Besides, if Annabon scared the guards enough, they could shoot her and Lily could go home.

Sadly, that did not happen. Lily walked through the last of the trees and saw Annabon staring down at the city of Rivendell, snuggled in the trees. Lily's throat tightened. She was really here! She was in Middle Earth! Annabon squealed, grabbing Lily's arm and dragging her into the city.

They hadn't gotten very far when Lily heard a voice call out.

"Daro!"

She turned a small bit, and found that there was an arrow about three inches from her face. She looked up to see a handsome elf staring down at her. Annabon jumped straight up and attempted to flirt with the elf, who looked very flustered.

"He told us to stop, you dumbass!" Lily hissed, wincing as she grabbed Annabon's arm. Ew, she touched it twice. Now she'd have to burn her arms off. Luckily, Annabon had the smallest sense to shut her mouth for a couple seconds. That didn't last, of course, as Annabon's "extreme intellect", as she would call it, was causing her to ask questions.

"So liek, do u kno Legolas? He's teh best elf ever!" She asked, overlarge owl eyes turning pale green with excitement. Lily groaned inwardly, putting her head in her hands. She had thought about coming to Rivendell, a lot, but this wasn't exactly how she pictured her arrival.

The elf turned to one of the guards, and whispered something in his ear, nudging subtly to Annabon. The guard nodded and walked into the city.

"Apologies for my companion here, my lord," Lily curtsied, still gripping Annabon's arm tightly. "We have come to your city hoping that you shall offer us your hospitality." Lily smiled, attempting to look charming, which was difficult, seeing as she looked like an animal in flannel.

" And hospitality you will get." He said, but Lily saw him flash a wary look at Annabon. The guard from before walked back up to the elf-captain, and he murmured something to him. The elf nodded.

"Elrond wishes to speak with you, if you will come with me." He spun to the city, long black hair whipping around and hitting Annabon in the face. The elf walked next to Lily as we walked to the city.

"Have I given you my name?", he asked her. She looked up at him, face reddening. Great, she thought, I'm blushing. Why am I blushing? God, you're so weird Lily.

"Oh, uh, no, you haven't." She smiled, feeling awkward.

"I'm so sorry, m'lady! My name is Hiradan. What is yours?"

"I'm Lily," She said simply, "And that's Annabon." She pointed towards Annabon, who was trying to kiss an elf, not realizing it was a very scared female. Hiradan smiled widely.

"What is it?" Lily asked.

"Oh, nothing, it's just that 'Annabon' means elephant in Elvish." He smirked, trying to suppress a giggle.

Lily burst out laughing, before covering her mouth. "She kept trying to tell me that it meant 'Beautiful Golden Maiden'. I think elephant suits her better, to be honest."

Hiradan snorted in a very un-elflike way.

As they walked into Rivendell, Lily couldn't help but gawk. It was more beautiful than the movies even showed! As she walked, she vaguely heard Annabon jabbering on about her ability to play 17 different instruments at once, and most of the elves around her looked as though they wanted to put an arrow through her face.

As they approached one of the buildings, Annabon had started talking about all of The Matrix references she would make once she met Elrond. This gave her a lot of strange looks from passing elves, who had absolutely no idea what she was talking about, of course.

"Welcome to Imladris", Hirdan said with a smile, looking at Lily's astonished face. Oh my gosh, she thought to herself, I'm actually here! She couldn't believe it. Sadly, her excitement was cut loose by Annabon letting out a huge squeal and running full speed toward one of the buildings. Lily groaned, and ran after her, Hiridan at her heels.

The two of them attempted to chase after Annabon, but they weren't any match to her super sue speed, so they followed the trail of knocked over servants. They followed the trail to two knocked over guards, lying in front of a room and moaning about neon pink. Lily peeked into the room, and her eyes widened at what she saw. Annabon was attempting to serenade LORD ELROND with an Ariana Grande song, and he looked incredibly horrified. Hiridan ran into the room and knocked Lily upside the head, knocking her out, and Lily stared at him, numb with horror. What would Elrond do to her now that her companion had freaked him out so much? As Elrond dusted himself off from the Sue's touch, he motioned to Hiridan.

"You know where to take her. And when you're done with that, have one of your men send for the Mirkwood Sue-Slayers.", he said before turning to Lily with a pointed look. "You will speak to me."

Lily gulped.

As Hiridan dragged an unconcious (but still stunningly beautiful) Annabon out of the room, Elrond walked over to where Lily was standing. She looked down, not wanting him to see the terror on her face. Was a hot elf going to knock her upside the head and drag her to a dungeon too?

"I'm not going to lock you up." Elrond said finally, and Lily let out a silent sigh of relief. Yay, no fun elf dungeon vacations! "However," he went on, "What in the name of the Valar were you doing traveling with that vile Sue as your companion?"

"Well, Lord Elrond sir, I was taking her to Rivendell so you could dispose of her properly- wait, you know what a Sue is?"

Elrond nodded gravely. "They have threatened our lands for many years under the disguise of exceptionally beautiful women. This is how I knew that you were not one of them."

Lily scowled.

The Lord of Rivendell continued on, deciding to ignore Lily's glare.

"There have been less since the ring was destroyed, I have noticed, but we have specially trained 'Sue-Slayers' just in case of circumstances like these. We have none here, but Mirkwood has the best Slayers of all the elven realms, and they shall arrive in about two weeks. Until then, you may stay here and the Sue will be kept in the rooms of Dright Yerple."

"Dright Yerple, sir?" Lily asked.

"It is the mixture of Dark Purple and Bright Yellow. It is extremely hard to gaze upon, but the Sues seem to like it. It has a calming effect on them."
"Ah."

A servant came in to show Lily to the room that had been arranged for her, and Lily enjoyed looking around at the view of Imladris. She was in awe of the nature, the architecture, the hotness of everyone around her, everything! She was so caught up with everything that she walked straight past her room, and the servant had to grab her arm.

Lily smiled at the servant. "Thank you for showing me to my room." The servant blushed, fiddling with a peice of her hair.

"I'm just doing my job, my lady. Lord Elrond wants me to tell you that you can look around Imladris as much as you please, as long as you don't try to sneak into any of his family's private chambers. If you have any questions, his sons Elladan and Elrohir's room is that door on the left", she said, pointing with a pale hand towards a beautiful door. Lily's embarassing fangirl thoughts flooded her head. Elladan and Elrohir were only a few yards away from her! Despite their limitedtime in the novels, Lily had always thought they were awesome.

"And, I'm always here as well.", the servant finished, smiling softly. Lily waved slightly as she left, before opening her door and going straight to her bed, without even changing out of her flannel pajamas. She was exhausted from her day of Annabon and insanity. Despite the bad parts of the day, Lily smiled as she fell into dreams of Rivendell, Elladan and Elohir, and Yerple. Lots and lots of Yerple.
