Switching Places
Chapter 13
FINAL CHAPTER


"Oh yeah?" Frodo challenged the old wizard, "And who's gonna make me?"

"I am," Legolas said boldly. "Just because you're in my body doesn't mean that you ARE me… you will never truly be at home in that body!"

Frodo laughed, "I think I already am little hobbit. I hope you have fun in that body for the rest of your life. I know I did while it lasted, but I sure am glad that I have my new body now."

Legolas fumed. How dare this imposter think that he'll ever be at home in my body?! He thought angrily. He glared up at Frodo, "I hope you have fun when you return to this body because I will not spend the rest of my life in this body!"

Frodo glared at the little hobbit and pretended to think, "Um… I think you will."

Legolas shook his head, he looked over at Fluffy, who was sitting in the corner next to Speranza. His eyes were silently pleading for help. Frodo was not cooperating with this situation and no one was making any sudden moves to help Legolas any.

Frodo noticed this slight distraction in Legolas and slowly began to creep away. He was inching his way backwards, he didn't think that he was being noticed by anyone. But he was oblivious to the fact that there was a second balrog crouching behind him. He was feeling proud of himself, because he actually thought that he was succeeding in fleeing the scene. But he froze stiff when he felt the heat of the body behind him, and the feeling of a creature's breath on the back of his neck.

He slowly turned and stood face to face with a baby balrog. Even though the creature was obviously only a baby, the fierceness of its kind shone through its innocence.  Frodo whimpered when the balrog eyed him like he was dinner. He yelped when it grabbed him around the waist and gathered him into a huge bear hug... or rather, a huge 'balrog hug'. (A/N: ::hehe:: )

"AHHH! IT'S GONNA EAT ME!!!" Frodo screamed as the little balrog carried the scared elf over to its 'mommy/daddy'. (A/N: Remember, Fuzzy is asexual lol)

The balrog cradled Frodo like he was a little baby as he squirmed and struggled to free himself of the grip of the balrog. The baby balrog screamed out in pain as Frodo sank his teeth into its hand. It instantly dropped Frodo and plopped down on the ground crying furiously while holding its hand.

Frodo crawled away from the crying balrog as its mother/father went over to comfort it. But as the crying increased, the mommy balrog got madder. Frodo started to inch his way from the frightening balrog, for it was sending death glares right at him for hurting its child.

Legolas laughed with glee as Fuzzy roughly grabbed Frodo by the foot and brought him close to its face. Fuzzy snorted in his face, causing Frodo to go limp from the stench.

"FUZZY!" Speranza cried, "Put him down!"

"NO!" Merlin said, "Perhaps we could use this situation to our advantage." He hobbled over to the balrog that was holding the scared shitless Frodo, "If Fuzzy were to release you, would you voluntarily give that body back to Legolas?"

Frodo shook his head defiantly, "No."

Merlin frowned slightly, "Would you rather me force you to do it? Or have Fuzzy eat you?"

Frodo thought for a second, before coming up with an answer, "I'd rather have Fuzzy eat me?"

"So be it!" Merlin said.

"NOOO!" Legolas yelped. "Don't let him eat my body! I want my freaking body back!"

Merlin inwardly growled, "Fine, then I'll just have to make you switch back!"

Frodo pouted. "Whatever. Doesn't look like I have a choice." He continued hanging there upside down, until the moment when Fuzzy decided to drop him right onto his head. "OOF!" He grunted as his head came in contact with the ground. He groaned as he sat up and rubbed his head while glaring at the innocent looking balrog.

Merlin grabbed Frodo's hand and forced him to stand up next to Legolas.

Legolas just stood there and gazed up at his perfect Elven body. He couldn't believe how much he missed it. All he wanted to do was be back inside that strong, muscular, lean, sexy body of his…

"Legolas!" Merlin snapped. "Can you please pay attention to understand what must be done?!"

"Yah, sorry." Legolas flushed.

Merlin gave the hobbit a warning look before starting over, "As I said, you must eat these magic lembas, after doing so, your bodily connection with your souls will falter, making it easy to remove them from your body. After that, you must run at each other at incredible speeds and butt heads to switch the souls!!!" He screamed melodramatically.

Legolas and Frodo stared blankly at the old wizard, before turning to each other and exchanging amused looks. The sound of Speranza clearing her throat distracted them and they looked over.

"Can you please continue on with this? I would like my husband back in his body." Speranza said eagerly.

Legolas smiled. Me too. He thought.

Frodo and him waited a couple of minutes while Merlin rummaged through his bag, trying to find the magic lembas. Soon, he yelped in victory as he pulled a small green sac from his pack. "Behold! The magic lembas!" He cried.

Legolas rolled his eyes, "Could you please just give them to us!" He said impatiently.

Merlin scoffed at his remark, but decided to hurry up with the process. He had to have time to go back to Rivendell in time for Jerry Springer. He gently placed one lemba into their open hands.

Legolas shoved his lemba into his mouth and chewed vigorously. He looked over at Frodo, but wasn't surprised when he saw that Frodo hadn't eaten his lemba yet. "Come on, what are you waiting for?" He said, with his mouth full.

Frodo continued staring it, "What the hell…" He said, then crammed the delicious food into his mouth.

After all of the lembas had been consumed, they waited patiently until Merlin was ready to complete the switching process.

Merlin walked over to one side of the room and ordered Legolas and Frodo to stand on opposite sides of the room. "When I say 'go'… you run as fast as you can towards the other person, and bang your heads together!"

Legolas and Frodo stood in their corners and stared at each other. Legolas was more than ready to switch back, but Frodo still had his doubts.

"GO!"

golas sprinted as fast as he could towards the elf, as Frodo surprisingly did the same.

They were just about to bang their heads together, when Frodo stopped and moved to the side, causing Legolas to crash into the wall behind him.

"YOINK!" He cried as he ran out of the balrog's little cave, never to be seen again…

THE END

Legolas: HEY! Don't do that Amanda!!!

Me: Ya know what… it's my story, so I can do whatever the hell I want!

Legolas: But it's not fair, I want my body back! ::pouts::

Me: Oh well… I think it would be fun to see you live your life as a hobbit!

Legolas: Please… ::whispers in my ear::

Me: Oh hell yeah…

**REVERSE**

"GO!"

Legolas sprinted as fast as he could towards the elf, as Frodo surprisingly did the same. The last thing they knew was the pain they felt as their heads connected with the others, before everything went black…

2 days later
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Legolas groaned as he felt himself awakening in a big soft bed. He attempted to open his eyes, but squeezed them shut once the sunlight hit them. He rolled over on his side curled up in a ball.

Speranza noticed the movement in her husband. She reached over and began shaking him, "Legolas? Legolas please wake up!"

"Whaat?" Legolas moaned. He blinked his eyes open and forced himself to get used to the sunlight. When he focused his eyes on his wife, she lit up in happiness and threw her arms around him.

He hugged her back, not knowing what she was so happy about. He absent mindedly spit out the piece of stray blond hair that was in his mouth. Then his eyes lit up with realization. He let go of his wife and looked down at his body, and was overjoyed to see that he had regained his perfect Elven body.  "OH MY GOD! I'M BACK!" He jumped up for joy and squeezed his wife laughing.

After he was settled down, he looked into her eyes. "Where's Frodo? I have to beat the shit outta that little…"

"Legolas. He's already taken care of." Speranza said smiling, thinking of the beating that Merlin, Fuzzy and Sam gave the poor hobbit after he woke up.

"But I wanted to do it myself." Legolas complained.

"Shut up," Speranza said teasingly. She leaned in and kissed her husband for the first time in a looong time. She reached up and stroked his cheek. "Hm… have you ever thought about growing a beard?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Somewhere far away

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Gimli, son of Gloin was wandering his cave, trying to cheer himself up. He had been depressed for the past couple of days. So he looked into the mirror and mumbled sadly to himself,

"I wish I could be an elf."

THE END… I swear this time

Me: So Mr.Legolas… how did you like that ending?

Legolas: ::faints::

Me: Like it? Love it? Hate it? Please tell me in your reviews and tell me if you'd be interested in a sequel… ::evil laughter:: yah… just press the little button right down there… and tell me. S'il vous plait? J
