Sorry it took so long to get the next chapter out. I've been fighting remorseless writers block for about a month now. This one is not very long, but hopefully the next installment will be coming soon.

Thanks for all the amazing reviews! Zane's Girlfriend: Thank you! Yes, I agree, and that's one of my favourite parts of the book. Lily Lindsey-Aubery: Glorfindel will appear again soon...I hope. Furionknight: Thanks; sorry I've kept you waiting so long for another chapter. :P OneSizeFitsAll: I'm glad you think Rumil and Orophin are crazy - they are crazy! AnitaHoward: Thank you, and your avatar is the best! 2MFriedmanFreak: Umm, didn't think about that. They probably would. Oops. RyderThorne: Thanks! I'm always accepting suggestions :) Feel free to PM me anytime.

Gimli and Legolas's text messages while on their way through Rohan:

From Gimli's android: I still can't bleev you nevr told me about ur health issues. I mean, I thot we were bffs. Friends are sposed to tell each other about their problems.

Gimli: ok maybe hes not sleepwalking cuz ur doing the same thing now.

Legolas: sorry. I was txting.

Legolas: Tell me what its like bein a dwarf.

Gimli: We're a persecuted minority.

Legolas: really?

Gimli: yes. ppl always discriminate against us.

Gimli: in the frst place, they have it in the history books that we're a lab accident. The dumb vala wasnt suppsed to make us.

Gimli: Want proof we're discriminated against? I'm the only dwarf in this movie!

Legolas: This is crzy. Wanna know how many meters Pippin got in Temple Run?

Gimli: DUH?

Legolas: Ppl keep commenting that on my facebk posts.

From Pippin's Samsung Galaxy: Got Ny mushrooms?

Gimli to Gandalf: This lks like a mine field. R we almost 2 Edoras?

From Gandalf's tracfone: why are you texting me im less than six feet away

Gimli: U told us not 2 talk.

Gandalf looked up from his phone in annoyance. "All right, you can all talk now," he said. "But don't make too much noise."

"Yay!" said Gimli. "Typing is so much trouble." He put his phone up to his face and spoke into it. "Let's have another drinking contest while we're here."

Legolas checked his text, then tapped the screen and spoke to his phone. "I'll win again."

"No cheating this time!"

"I didn't cheat!"

"I said don't make too much noise!" said Gandalf. "Never mind, no more talking."

Silence once more descended for several seconds. Then Gandalf's phone started making noises like lots of texts coming in. He flipped it open and read the messages.

Sam: can we eat now

Lindir: My feet r killng me

Erestor: We shld get bak undr cover or Arwen might see us

Elladan: Elrohir's whispering

Frodo: Where r we going again?

Legolas: Gimli pushd me

Legolas: I need 2 call my dad

Gimli: Nazguuuuuuul!
