Chapter Six
It was Saturday. The last day of your visitor's stay and, surprisingly, we were going to miss them.
"Our final meal together," Alicia had had as she dumped the remaining potstickers onto plate.
"I am going to miss these," Aragorn answered, spearing one with his fork.
"I won't," Boromir said, pulling a face.
"In less than an hour, you'll be back in Middle Earth."
"Yes, Alicia, but we'll be here in spirit. Once you visit a place, you never leave. Your spirit is still there, with those who cared for you and let you stay with them. We will always be here."
"Elrond, you've been reading her books, haven't you?" Alicia asked, pointing a finger at me. Elrond winked and Alicia gagged.
"That was very nice, though," she said. "Thanks."
"Does everyone have everything?"
"I suppose so... It's about time to go."
Everyone was hesitant to get up and go to the shower.
Our goodbyes were sad, so I won't bore you with all of what was said, but it was really sweet.
The hobbits each got a 'treat' from the uniform room, what they would do with all of it, no one knew. After hugging them all goodbye, and promising to tell the weather lady hello for them if we ever saw her, they jumped into the shower, pulled the curtain, and were gone. Boromir was next and, after thanking Alicia and I, put on the band hat the hobbits gave him and disappeared like the hobbits had. Aragorn received a bag of potstickers and drug Gollum with him into the shower, who was making grabbing motions toward the dog, shoe strings in one hand. Gimli was nearly in tears as he hugged the dog goodbye, and bawled like a baby as he waved goodbye to us, holding the dog's tennis ball. Galadriel left us next. Although I had only talked to her in passing and Alicia had not talked to her at all (besides "More potstickers?"), she was still kind. She had been seen talking in a corner with Legolas earlier and, as she waved goodbye, gave Alicia a smile. Gandalf was pried from the TV and only after we promised him that we would try to find some means of correspondence to tell him whatever happened to Jennie and Antonio.
With all of them gone, that only left Elrond and Legolas.
After the two elves left, disappearing behind the silver sparkle curtain, Alicia quietly turned and, as she did, I caught a glint on her neck.
"Alicia, what is that?"
"Legolas gave me a necklace."
Then I understood what the smile was. Galadriel gave Legolas a necklace to give to Alicia. The beautiful silver and gold and green ivy necklace sat beautifully on her neck.
"It's so pretty!"
"He gave it to me, as well another kiss."
We stood there for a second or two, then Alicia broke the silence.
"We just said goodbye to elves, who have flirted with us, in a bathroom!"
At that moment, we heard familiar voices in hallway, our family and Kimmie and Jess, all calling, "Alicia! Where are you guys?"
As we left the bathroom, I whispered to Alicia:
"No one is going to believe that there were elves in the shower!"
The End
Thanks so much! Once again, I own none of the LOTR characters, any of the TV things mentioned, and anything else that might have a copyright that I don't know about! Thanks again for reading!
