And now, I'm an Elf

"Where are you from?" Asked Pippin.

"I come from very far." I replied.

Pippin crossed his arms. "You speak just like Gandalf." He muttered.

"I would tell you but you would not believe me."

"Ya Pip, you wouldn't believe her. I probably would. You're too immature!"

"You wouldn't either, Merry." I said.

"What? I am completely capable of listening to what my friends have to say."

"Are we friends?" I asked extremely exited.

"Yup. You're part of the fellowship now!" I thought I was gonna die of happiness right then and there. "And friends play games, right?" He said with a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Oh, yes they do!" cried Pippin.

"And we have an excellent game to play!" Said Merry.

"Yes we do!" Pippin smiled. I smiled back.

"Do you know how to play Tig?" Asked Merry.

"Yes." I replied. I clapped a hand over my mouth.

"WHAT?!?!" The hobbits exclaimed together.

"How can you know to play Tig?" Asked Merry.

Extended edition of the fellowship of the ring. "Um, I just, played it when I was younger." I replied.

"But- but- WE invented that game!" Pippin cried.

"You seem to know a lot about us, don't you?" Merry said suspiciously.

"Um, I-"

"And apparently Frodo, too!" Said Pippin.

"What about me?" Said a small voice from behind. I turned around and looked into the ridiculously blue eyes of Frodo. Merry opened his mouth to speak, but I cut him off.

"Merry, Pippin, you and myself are going to play a trick on Boromir."

"What trick?" He asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Boromir!" cried Pippin. "Do you want to play a game with us?"

"I'm keeping watch at the moment, if you don't mind." Boromir replied, importantly.

Aragorn chucked, and said, "I would be only too glad to take your spot while you play with the hobbits." He said it loudly so the whole fellowship heard. Legolas and Gimli were watching, and Sam had a confused look on his face.

Boromir could see no way out. "I will play your game, little ones, but only for a little while. Then I will return to watch." He glared at Aragorn, and then got up.

"Manwathiel is playing, too." Said Frodo.

Merry and Pippin explained the rules to Boromir, and we started playing. Only 5 minutes into the game, we all stopped and looked at Boromir.

"You can't Tig on a Tog!" Cried Merry.

"My apologies, little ones." Said Boromir. We continued to stare at him until he looked uncomfortable. "Why are you staring at me?" He asked.

"Um, DUH Boromir! You have to impersonate an olephont." I said. "We explained this before we started."

"No" said Boromir. "I am the son of the king of Gondor! It would be unfit for a prince."

"Actually, Aragorn is the-" I started. But I just couldn't finish that sentence. He gave me an icy stare and I let it hang there.

"Like this!!!" cried Gimli. "Pffffffff!"

Everyone laughed, save Boromir.

"See! Gimli can do it!" Said Frodo. "If he can, you can."

Boromir looked to Aragorn, who looked away innocently. Then Boromir looked to Legolas, who looked at the ground. Then, he looked to Gimli, who said, "Get on with it then!"

Boromir took a deep breath, and then... "PFFFFFFFPT!!!!" Everybody laughed so hard! This is as much fun as I always dreamed it would be! I may not have to worry about the Mountain of Homework after all!
