"Lily!" I yelled.
"It's okay! I was just faking!"
"Why?" I asked as I helped her up.
"Cuz it was fun." The fellowship stared and I realized that they had no idea what was going on.
"Everybody, I would like to introduce: Lily, my sister." Before anyone could say anything Merry and Pippin tumbled through the evil door.
"Is she alright?" Pippin asked concernedly. Lily grinned at the two of them.
"She's fine." Merry decided. He looked over at Aragorn. "Oh, Aragorn you dropped this." He held up a small, silver whistle. Aragorn took it hastily and kind of sheepishly.
"Thank you Merry."He shoved it into his coat somewhere.
"What's that?" I asked. I was ignored.
Pippin addressed Aragorn with a devilish grin.
"Careful Aragorn." He said, gesturing toward Lily discretely.
"Why should I be?" He whispered in Pippin's direction.
"She's got a sword." He stated with a mischievous smile.
"A sword?" Aragorn mouthed as I tried to contain my laughter. Lily seemed to overhear him and whirled around.
"Ah yes!" She exclaimed, raising her voice and lowering her eyebrows dramatically. "A devious blade if ever there was one!" I almost started screaming with laughter but caught myself just in time. I am going to explode! "Aye, a fully equipped sword: comes with a history of violence and crime! Much like myself." She slammed the weapon down on the table. A plastic toy, clearly made in China, with much of the original chrome coating worn off. The edges of the blade were very beat up and on the whole it was cheap in construction and covered in dents and scratches.
"Ha! You call that a sword?" Said Gimli.
"Do not be deceived by the humble appearance of the weapon before you. It has carried me through thousands of duels! Across planets and planes and battles without number for which you, master dwarf, have no name."
"Is all right with her mind?" Boromir whispered to me. At that point I just couldn't help it. I burst into hysterical screams of laughter.
"Did I say something humorous my lady?" I didn't answer.
After we had explained the true nature of the "sword", we had to throw away the trash and stuff from the pizza(The hobbits were of great help.).
"Where is your hearth?" Gandalf asked, holding his pipe. I realized something.
"Sorry Gandalf, but we don't have a fireplace for you to smoke by." I said with a smile. He looked rather disappointed. Meanwhile, Lily was traipsing around the house with a blanket around her shoulders playing follow the leader with the hobbits. As I ran off to get my blanket I overheard Lily suggesting a bonfire.
"I don't think that's a good idea." I stated, smiling, and walking into the kitchen(I now had my blanket) "We can't use the wood pile so where do we get the wood?"
"We could use brush from the woods!" Countered Lily.
"Aren't we using most of that for our forts?"
"Today perhaps we can make an exception! Follow me!" And she marched out the door, across the backyard, and into the woods.
"Fine, let's go." I said half smiling. "It can't be that bad right? Right? Hmm." My question was answered by the horrible screech of the back door closing. And out the door I went.
Lily POV
I led the charge across the backyard. "CHARGE!" I yelled accordingly. Merry and Pippin followed close behind whooping and hollering in true hobbit fashion. We skid to a stop on the edge of the woods. The rest arrived a few seconds later with Gimli noticeably out of breath. Legolas gazed into the broken tree line, with something of a troubled look on his face.
"What evil came here?"
"Tornado." I panted, "Came through couple of years ago."
"A what?"
"Great big whirlwind, swept through,'WOOSH', knocked it all over." He nodded in understanding.
"Well, at least we won't lack for kindling." Aragorn said as Olivia approached.
Olivia POV
"I call Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli!" I said to Lily.
"We are right here." Replied Aragorn while Lily looked in disdain at me for my modern mannerisms.
"I mean I am taking you guys with me to find firewood." I clarified, sticking my tongue out at Lily very childishly. She ignored me and turned around to face the hobbits, the wizard, and Boromir of Gondor. "I know a great place to start!" I declared, walking off into the thickest area confidently. Lucky Gimli was short enough that he had almost no trouble with low branches, the rest of us however, not so much. As I scrambled under a large, propped up, fallen log, I asked Legolas how he liked my woods.
"You know them well."
"Well I should, I have lived here most of my life. These woods are like a second home." Before he could answer we entered a large clearing. "Here we are! Just over there," I said pointing, "There's plenty of dry wood. Let's go!" We entered a large clearing about the size of a small garage. There were a few long sticks propped up against a tree. "Just back there." I pointed to a large fallen log and walked over to it, starting to climb over it. "Did you know that you guys are some of my favorite characters?"
"What do you mean?" Replied Legolas. My brain then decided that it was a good time to remember that they didn't know they were fictional.
"Oh yeah, you aren't real. You're in books and movies."
"What's a movie?" Asked Gimli.
"I'll explain later."
"You mean we are just stories?" Said Aragorn.
"Yeah, pretty much."
As I said before, reviews and follows are scrumptious! =D
