"Stop!" a voice called out "I'll have your head for a trophy, street rat!"
The man looks at the captain of the guards and then at the bread in his hand "All this for a loaf of bread?"
He jumped off the roof, landing on two ropes strung between the buildings, with clothes drying on them. He tried to balance while skiing down them, collecting bits and pieces of clothing as he goes.
Finally, he's nearing the end of the rope; the man grabs the rope under his feet without falling and swung down to the ground. Throwing all the clothes that collected on him to the ground and looked back. The guards looked even angrier. "There he is!" one bellowed. "You won't get away so easy!" another guards yelled.
"You think that was easy?" he calls out to them as he walked away. Going around the corner he saw three women, laughing at him.
"You two over that way, and you, with me. We'll find him." he heard the Golden haired elf say in the distance. Rushing over to the group of female elves
"Morning, ladies." He said sweetly at them as they giggled.
"Getting into trouble a little early today, aren't we Aragorn?" one ask mused, while giving me a smile.
"Trouble? No way, you are only in trouble if you get caught-" before Aragorn could finish speaking someone grab his shoulder tightly.
"I'm in trouble!" Before the Golden haired elf could say anything someone through a sheet over him and the other guards from above. The man looked up to find his blonde haired blue eyed best friend.
"Perfect timing, Las!"
"ier creoso nin mellon. (You are welcome my friend)" Legolas chuckled as he jump down grabbing a wooden bean and spun landing gracefully on the floor next to Aragorn.
"Come on, let's get outta here!" He shouted.
Gotta keep...one jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford
That's everything!
Aragorn battles a elf guard wielding a sword, dodges a couple of swings, and returning a few swings himself Legolas raise his bow and aims for his target destroys a barrel of fish, which empty in front of the elf, making him fall over, as Aragorn runs
One jump ahead of the lawmen
That's all, and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke!
Aragorn and Legolas scamper up a pile of barrels, and then kick one down on top of another guard.
Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!
Just a little snack, guys!
Agraorn scampers to the top of a platform. The guards shake the platform back and fro trying to knock him off.
Rip him open, take it back guys!
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friend, Legolas
Aragorn jumps off the platform to certain death, only to grab Legolas waiting hands like an acrobat. The pair swings into a harem.
Oh, its sad Aragorn's hit the bottom
He's become a one-man rise in crime
Three young beautiful looking female elves walk over to the man and elf; one places a silk scarf around the mans neck, as the other two walk over to Legolas running there hands through his hair and over his arms, but than a elder elf walk over to them
I'd blame parents, except he hasn't got 'em!
Aragorn ducks as the elf throws a punch at him before grabbing Legolas and pulling him over to a window pushing his elf friend out first before following
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time!
Landing in the street, they start to run with the group of guards chasing
One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time gonna use a nom de plume.
One jump ahead of the hitmen
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block.
A chase continues, in which Aragorn and Legolas pursued by the guards, race through a crowed market place, zig zagging in between elves before getting cornered by the guards, looking at each other Legolas jumps up and grabs a wooden beam, before hanging upside down so Aragorn can grab his hands and swing him over the guards heads, then follows
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Otherwise we'd get along!
WRONG!
The guards chase the two up a staircase into a room. Legolas grabs two carpets handing one to Aragorn and both jump out the window
Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump!
The guard's race to the window and watches as the man and elf uses the carpets as parachute landing safely and out of danger. Aragorn grabs Legolas shoulder pulling him close as they headed down the ally way. Breaking the bead in two to share, they laugh and talk while eating coming to the end of the ally where a crowed of elves line the street peering over shoulder to see a red hair man sitting tall on his horse
"Prince Boromir of Gondor" one whisper "On his way to the palace, I suppose." An elderly elf said in a murmured voice. "Another suitor for the princess." Said his friend next to him replied in a reposeful sigh. Aragorn and Legolas push towards the front to get a better look
"A mortal man, to think an Elven Princess would choose him" Legolas said harshly, before looking at his friend, bowing his head and apologise for his words. Aragorn offer a smile placing an arm around his shoulder, about to lead him back into the crowd
Two children playing caught Aragorn's eye, either taking notice of what is happening run into the street starting the horse "Out of my way, you brats!" Boromir shouted. Aragorn raced towards the kids picking them up before moved out of the way, passing them safety to there mother, than turning back to the Gordian prince
"Hey, if I were as rich as you, I could afford some manners." He yelled after him. Boromir spun his horse around and stop glaring at him.
"Oh-I'll teach you some manners!" He said. But before he could do anything Legolas got between them and pushed his friend back.
"Just let it go Mellon. He's not worth it." At Legolas words Aragorn relaxed a little. But that didn't stop Boromir.
"You are a worthless street rat. You were born a street rat, you'll die a street rat, and only your fleas will mourn you." He said kicking his horsed and racing off into the palace gate.
"I'm not worthless. And I don't have fleas." Aragorn yelled after him. The street cleared only a few people still lingered there. "Come on, Las. Let's go home."
Though the whole walk home not a word was said. Finally reaching the building, Legolas completely exulted from the day's events through him self on his bed of old pillows. Aragorn went over to stand by the window pulling the curtain back to look at the palace from afar.
Riffraff, street rat.
I don't buy that.
If only they'd look closer would they see a poor boy? No siree.
They'd find out, there's so much more to me.
"Someday, things are going to change. We'll be rich, live in a palace, and never have any problems at all." Aragorn said to him self as he lied down on his bed of pillows by the window.
"You forget Mellon, I have lived that life, and it was not easy" Legolas mutter as his eyes glaze over into Elven sleep
Lifting his head up to look over to his friend, how could he forget, Legolas never spoke of what happen, just that he had a disagreement with his father and left his home of Mirkwood to live with him on the streets of Imladris, resting his head back down "Night, Legolas." I'm going to keep my promise we won't live here forever. You will see" he promise before his eye became too heavy and he to fell a sleep
