Finally, I have made the third chapter! Sorry for the late chapter. I have a lot of things to do in the meantime. Practices, projects, and exams, they take away most of my spare time, and I'm stressful for those things. Hence, I don't have much time to work on this fan fiction. I don't want to give up this fan fiction, and I will try to get time to write it.
Anyway, this is day 2 for the elves. This time, I'm going to take them to a place...and meet my cousins.

"Where are we going, anyway?" Feanor asked.
"To Greens Farm," I answered, still looking at my phone. "With my cousins."
I raised my head to see Feanor looking at me impatiently. "I just wonder," He asked, "What makes this...rectangular pad thing attractive?"
I said nothing, but smiling at him with my most charming smile and sticking my phone into my backpack. Fingolfin and Gabriel were still chatting excitedly. I heard them talking about yesterday's Wii-playing. "You were really superior at yesterday's archery game," Gabriel said excitedly. "You got ten points on eight of the shots! I don't think so I can do that!"
"I am flattered," Fingolfin replied. "You played well too. All of you played well. However, I have a question," At here he paused a bit, "How do you work on that...bowling game?"
"Angles at throwing the ball and some luck," Gabriel replied. Suddenly, he looked at outside. It was a beautiful sunny day. Under the sun, two young girls, two young boys and a woman were walking towards us. I identified them as my cousins and my aunt.
"Hi everyone!" I greeted my cousins and also my aunt. Gabriel did the same thing. Yvonne, my aunt's gaze didn't leave the elves, although she didn't look into their eyes. She is no match for the gazes of the elves, I thought.
"Echo, may I ask," Yvonne spoke, "Who are these two men? How do they join this? You invited them?"
"Don't ask much, Aunt Yvonne," Gabriel interjected. "Echo can't answer such much questions at a time."
Feanor cleared his throat. "I can speak for myself," He looked at me and said. "My name is Curufinwe Feanaro, please call me Feanaro. The elf sitting on the bench," He pointed at Fingolfin, "Is Nolofinwe."
Fingolfin looked at his half-brother. "You can call me Arakano if you want to-"
"I'll always call you Nolofinwe," Feanor interjected. The cousins looked at the elves in wonder, for their height or... their way of speaking I guess? Helen whispered to me, "How long you've met?"
"Not long," I told her, "We have met since yesterday."
"Get on the bus, all of you!" Yvonne shouted. "We are going to Greens Farm." We lined up in front of the bus and got on it. Aunt Yvonne told us that we need to sit on the upper deck. I fished out some coins from my purse and gave them to the elves. "Remember when you get on the bus, you need to put some coins into it. Not too much, just the value the bus requires," I told them. Maybe I need to get them the octopus cards soon.
18th April 2017, Tuesday - 13:00 - Entrance of Greens Farm
"Welcome to Greens Farm, everyone!" Janet shouted happily, looking at us with her black eyes. "This is run by my relatives, so you can be VIPs there!" She stared at her younger brother, Danny. "Except you. You're too young to be a VIP." My cousins chuckled. Yvonne wasn't amused. "Don't be mean to your brother," She said. We walked to a square with a lot of barbeque pits, tables with food and people eating their meals. I followed the others along a path made of pebbles, there I saw trees, tall grass and some toy horses, which were hidden in the grass. At my left, there was a war game field with several men blasting water from their guns, their laughter was loud and clear.
"I'm pretty sure that you won't forget today's war game, don't you?" Janet asked.
"Of course not!" Helen shouted. "We're going to give a good splash!"
"How can a war become a game? Wars are meant to be serious!" Fingolfin asked, his voice wasn't excited. I patted his shoulder and spoke, "We are just splashing water on each other, not killing them." Fingolfin's face was still unsure about the game. "It's going to be great," Alan told the elf. "You'll survive. Just...finding you shirt being wet." Fingolfin looked reassured now, which made myself feeling reassured too because I hoped him to enjoy the water fight.
We sat around a rectangular pool, with goldfish swimming inside. "Do you want to play 'goldfish catching' ?" Janet asked, looking at her cousins eagerly. "Yes," Helen answered. Alan nodded in agreement. I looked at the elves, they didn't look really interested. Feanor was paying attention to the players of the war game, examining their fighting position. Fingolfin looked like that he was thinking deeply. "Hmmm... They don't look like interested," I said. "Just pay for us six-"
"Five," Janet corrected, "Ignore Danny. He's not suitable to play this. He's like...four, then he could boss every adult around."
"Janet!" Yvonne called sternly. "He's your brother! You need to treat him well." Janet rolled her eyes, giving me a she-is-lecturing-again look. I gave a smile back. I sat down and got a small bowl, also a small net. It didn't look like something made of paper. I collected some water from the pool, then tried to catch those goldfish. However, the water pressure existed inside the water, so my net couldn't catch up. "You need to corner them. Your net can't catch up a speed of a fish!" Gabriel said, chuckling.
Finally, I ended up catching four fish. I could get a price and the fish if I wanted to. I chose to keep the fish, so they were nicely kept in a small tank filled with water. Gabriel came next to me. "What are you going to name them?" He asked curiously.
"This one with such red scales will be called as Fire," I replied. "This small one will be called as Tiny. These two..." I showed a gleeful smile. "Let's name them after our new plushie friends."
18th April 2017, Tuesday - 16:00 - The War Game Field
We were facing the most exciting bit of today's trip: the water war game! We gathered in front of the war game field. It was quite smaller comparing with my imagination, but it still looked amazing: several wood blocks were placed randomly inside the field, some tires were on the green field of grass separately, some rocks were hiding inside behind the tall grass. Boxes of water bombs were hidden inside the field. A tall woman came with a lot of water guns and bottles of water. She taught us how to use the water guns and the rules of water war game. Then, we picked up the guns and ready to charge.
The war started with a loud and clear blow of the horn. Helen, Alan and Janet charged towards Yvonne before she could react. Feanor ran after Fingolfin with his red water gun on his hand, he launched water swiftly, soaking Fingolfin's t-shirt (Today he decided to wear the t-shirt Gabriel bought him yesterday). With a swift turn, Fingolfin hid behind a wooden block, then he shot water from his gun, which soaks Feanor's t-shirt (He said the robes are fine, but he ended up wearing the t-shirt.) I decided to move. I stalked behind the trees, towards Yvonne's back, then charged. Water splashed on Yvonne's shirt, she turned towards me, wanted to fire me with her gun, but I grabbed a water bomb (balloon filled with water) and threw at her.
Feanor turned towards me, his eyes were shining with excitement. Without a doubt, he grabbed a water bomb and threw at me. I barely dodged it, but not Yvonne's water gun attack. She splashed me with her gun right onto my face! I cleared my face and tried to feel better. When I finished cleaning my face, Yvonne showed a weirdly gleeful expression, then she started firing me with her water gun. Yvonne had already soaked my shirt, so I tried to retreat to somewhere away from the blasts. However, Yvonne didn't give up the chance, she aimed my body and fired the water gun. I got even more wetter.
Suddenly, Fingolfin leapt out from behind a wood block, on his hand a water bomb. Yvonne noticed his presence, therefore she grabbed a water bomb, wanted to throw at him, but Fingolfin was faster. He charged Yvonne quickly, Yvonne's shirt immediately got wet. I quietly retreated to a tall wooden block. Gabriel was in a single combat with Janet. Although Janet was younger, she was a match for her elder cousin. I stalked along the wooden blocks, trying not to be found. Suddenly, a blast of water hit my back. I felt shocked at first, but I quickly calmed myself down, then turned to my back. Before I realised who attacked me, he again launched water towards me.
Suddenly, the sound of a horn boomed, which symbolised the end of the water war game. We returned to the entrance to return the guns, then we left the field. At that time, I realised that the player who launched water towards me was Feanor.
