Episode 6: Travel Sized!

-------
Minis! LOL, this started from mine and Hati's attempt to shrink ourselves to go to the UK with Props and Mea. Then I got an idea about bringing my action figure of Boromir with me to Spring Break to take pictures with... Hence, this storyline developed... With the help of an invisibility cloak left from the Inkheart Visit...
-------

Another dreary day in the Grove....rain, rain, everywhere...

::Lomiothiel walks through the rain, thankful for her bright purple umbrella. She shakes off the remaining drops from the umbrella at the door to the mallorn and walks inside::

::Lomi::
Yuck, if this is Prosp's payback for the fact that I'm going to a warm sunny spring break, I swear to Eru, she's got some revenge coming her way...

::Lomi puts her stuff down on the floor, noticing that it is strangely quiet.::
Hmm.. never a good sign around here...

::Lomi walks into the "reading room" and sees Gil-Galad sitting in the window seat, reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Lomi walks over unnoticed and gives him a hug hello, which startles him::
Hello dear, how's the book coming?

::Gil-Galad::
Fascinating, although I am quite disturbed by this "You-Know-Who" character... hmm... Perhaps it is Sauron returned?! They are both known as the Dark Lord, after all!

::Lomi::
Interesting theory. I doubt it though, I'm sure JKR was influenced by Tolkien, hence the natural fandom crossover, not to mention spiders and trolls... but I assure you that Lord Voldemort is not Sauron reborn...

::Gil-Galad::
Ahem... Professor Tolkien merely wrote about our history, he did not create it.

::Lomi::
::Sigh:: Forgive me, I forgot.

::Gil-Galad::
Well, perhaps all may be forgiven if you make me some more homemade lembas? The cinnamon kind? ::he smiles hopefully::

::Lomi grins::
Maybe if you're a good High King ::winks::... I gave the last batch to my friends in the forum while we were waiting for an update... oh don't pout, King Crabby. I'll make some more later... where is everyone, by the way?

::Gil-Galad::
Well. I was kicked out of the library by Horse-For-Brains. You might want to stop hiim, I think he found a spelling book of some kind... as far as the rest of the lot, I cannot say. Hal and I are not on speaking terms as of late... stupid poncy Galadrhim archer....

::Lomi::
What?! A spelling book? I don't have any..... oh no... ::runs to closet:: Dammit!! Hati's spell book! And the ingredients were in there too! Why was he in here?!

::Gil-Galad::
Umm... well.... I locked him in there for using my Jenga pieces as firewood. He has not yet mastered the fire-box.

::Lomi::
Stove, Gil. It's called a stove. I don't even want to know why he needed a fire...

::Lomi runs down the hall to the library. The door is of course, locked::

::Lomi::
Eomer!! OPEN THIS DOOR THIS INSTANT!! NO World Dwarven Wrestling Federation PayPerView if you don't open this door RIGHT NOW!!

::Lomi searches around in her bag::
Dammit! He took my wand too... hmm... I wonder..

::waves hand over knob::
Alohamora!!

::door clicks unlocked::
Thank Elbereth for being of the Noldor...

::Lomi rushes in to see Eomer attempting to hid a very large cauldron::
Hold it right there, Eorling! Just what in the name of the Valar do you think you are doing with my stuff?!

::Eomer::
Guessing? I... guessed you were not going to catch me?

::Lomi::
Eomer, where did you get a cauldron?!

::Eomer grins sheepishly::

::Lomi shakes her fist in the air::
Damn you eBay...

::Eomer::
Hey, I was just TRYING to help!

:: Lomi::
And what makes you think that if a witch and and elf can't get a spell to work that the King of the Mark can?

::Eomer smiles smugly::
I think you just answered that. Ho Ho ho... shows what you know....

::Lomi::
What is that supposed.... oh no...

::Lomi looks down at the small table next to the cauldron. The last remnants of the spell ingredients are scattered around, and next to the spell book is a very, very small elf sitting in front of an empty glass bottle::
Haldir?!?

::Haldir, somewhat embarrassed::
Hi Lomi... I am so glad you're here.... FIX IT!!

::Lomi::
Fix this? Dear, I couldn't decipher the potion, let alone reverse it. Sigh, I'll have to see if Hati knows the reversal potion... Haldir, I thought you were more intelligent than this...

::Haldir, indignantly::
I beg your pardon? Who was able to do it correctly? I guess it just takes and elf and man to do this sorcery thing correctly.

::Lomi::
Well good for you, because now you're stuck like this until I can find a cure... what in the name of Mordor is that?

::Haldir puts something behind his back::
Nothing.

::Lomi:
Haldiiiiir.... give it up!

::tiny snicker::

::Lomi::
Oh for Eru's sake... Hal!?

::Haldir sighs and produces a very tiny object, which looks like a tooth, but is in actuality....... ::

::Lomi::
Boz's horn... therefore...

::Lomi looks past Haldir into the small glass bottle, containing a tiny, snickering Heir to the Stewards of Gondor.

::Boromir waves::
::snicker:: Hi Lomi! ::snicker:: You said give it up! ::snicker::

::Lomi::
Boz, what are you doing in that bottle?

::Boromir furrows his brow and crosses his arms across his chest::
Ask those two!!

::Eomer::
Hey, you wanted to know what we were doing, nosy!

::Boromir::
NO! You tricked me! You said it was a new micro-brew mead! Stupid Rohirrim... stupid elf...

::Lomi::
Stupid son of Gondor! Who put him in the bottle?!

::Haldir::
Hey, I left the top off!

::Lomi::
So you saw what happened to Boromir and you still took it, Haldir? Once again, I am beginning to doubt your intelligence.

::Haldir::
Ehh... I was bored...

::Boromir::
Lomi! Let me out... and make Hal give me back my horn!

::Lomi gently lifts up bottle and tips Boromir into her hand. Boromir brushes himself off and walks onto the table as she places her palm down. Boromir then begins a stare-down with Haldir::

::Boromir::
Give.....back....my....HORN!!!!

::Lomi::
Haldir! Do it now! I swear to Eru...

::Haldir::
Okay, okay...sheesh.. here you go. Big Gondorian baby...

::Haldir hands off the Horn to Boromir who grabs it quickly and puts it protectively in his arms::

::Lomi::
Okay, Eomer. What the heck happened here... whole story... I'm talking Red Book length version... go!

::Eomer takes a deep breath::
Okay... here we go. So okay, his High Pain In the Ass King got all mad at me for taking his Jenga pieces for firewood... before you ask, we were making s'mores... so Legolas went to go get some marshmallows and King Crabby locked me in the closet, where I found your book... looked kinda interesting and so once I got Gil-Galad to let me out...

::Lomi::
How did you do that?

::Eomer::
Started singing Jimmy Buffett.

::Lomi::
Eww... that'll do it.

::Boromir::
Hey, I like Buffett!

:Lomi::
You would...so anyway...

::Eomer::
Right, so I used the cauldron I bought on eBay for cooking...

::Lomi::
Eomer... stove... STOVE!

::Eomer::
Fire-box? No way... so I used it to mix stuff... Then Haldir came and wanted to know what I was doing so we started to decipher this handwriting. Thankfully Haldir could decipher it...

::Haldir::
Once you decipher Celeborn's calligraphy, you're a pro...

::Eomer::
So we made the potion... had to kick King Poncy out a few times... so then we needed to try it because we weren't sure if we used enough...umm... green stuff... so....

::Lomi::
So you tricked Boromir into trying it?

::Eomer::
Hey, he was all for it!

::Boromir::
You said it was mead!

::Haldir::
Not our fault you're a stupid orc-for-brains...

::Boromir::
Okay, that's it...

::Boromir charges at Haldir, but is stopped by Lomi, who picks him up by the cloak and puts him in her hand::

::Lomi::
Stop it... now you have to stay here...

::Boromir pouts as Eomer continues::
So we thought Boz was a little small...

::Boromir growls::

::Eomer::
So we added more green stuff and since Legolas is not back yet, Haldir volunteered...

::Lomi::
Let me guess... Gil-Galad told you to piss off when you offered it to him...

::Haldir::
Well of course, why do you think I had to try it?

::Eomer::
So here were are... Haldir put Boromir in the bottle after he took his mini-horn and then took the potion and now we have mini-Haldir and mini-Boromir...

::Haldir::
I'm not mini, I'm travel sized for your convenience!

::Lomi::
Well that WAS the original idea... hmm... I wonder how Hati made out...

::Boromir::
Eww... who's she making out with?

::Lomi::
No not like that...get your mind out of the gutter.

::Boromir::
It's not in the gutter...it is just visiting...Sorry.... So now what!

::Haldir::
Yeah, I mean, considering I shrunk our clothes last week, we shall be okay for a while, but I am not up on this size thing... I cannot even taunt Gil-Galad...he might step on me.

::Lomi::
Well guys, I don't know. I'll have to ask Hati and pray to Eru that she knows how to fix it. I'm sure HER guys weren't so stupid as to try some mystery potion!

::Boromir::
I am not stupid! I was tricked!

::Lomi::
Okay, you're gullible and Haldir is stupid... yes, you are stupid for taking it yourself. You could have at least waited for Legolas to get home... I bet he went all the way to the Jewel of Mirkwood to shop... sigh...

::Haldir::
So... now what?!

::Lomi::
Okay, okay... here.

::Lomi picks up Haldir and puts him on her shoulder. With Boromir in her hand, she walks into the living room::

::Gil-Galad, spying the mini Haldir and Boromir, starts to laugh uncontrollably::
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh oh.. that is priceless!!

::Haldir::
Oh put a Balrog in it...

::Lomi places Hal and Boz on the dining room table and walks over to the "internet machine"::
You better hope Hati knows what to do...

::Lomi types on the internet machine for a bit, while Boromir and Haldir make faces at each other. Eomer starts to giggle and Gil-Galad continues to laugh uncontrollably at the minis::

::Lomi::
Hmm.. Hati says it should wear off after 15 hours... seems you are on the same brain-scan as Severus....

::Haldir and Boromir::
15 hours!?!?!

::Lomi::
Yup, serves you right for playing with my stuff...

::Eomer snickers::

::Lomi::
Oh don't think you're getting off so easy Mister "Of the Mark". You're in charge of them while I"m at school. And if they so much as get a BRUISE from you neglecting them....

::Eomer::
No, not that...

::Lomi::
Yes that.... you get to play target practice with Legolas when he gets back...and no ponies either!

::Eomer::
Oh man!

::Lomi::
Don't pout...You furrow your brow too much, you're gonna get wrinkles...

::Gil-Galad, smugly::
Elves don't get wrinkles.

::Boromir::
No, you just turn into a toasty crispy King by Sauron... maybe you should have used sunblock... SPF 50000: Mordor Strength!

::Gil-Galad::
Better than getting killed by Orcs, half-wit!

::Haldir::
Hey!

::Gil-Galad::
I am still not speaking to you.

::Lomi::
Okay, I am not a referee here people...ergh... elves...men... whoever!! Gil, get over it! So you had blue nails! Big wup! Legolas wears a tiara in ROTK, you don't see him being all pissy. I'm sure he would have rather worn a nice crown thing like yours...

::Gil-Galad::
No, Elrond is the pissy tiara wearer. Legolas thinks he looks "prettier" than Elrond in his.

::Lomi::
Whatever, so you knock it off. Go read or I'll tell you what happens. And you Mister of the Mark, take your handiwork up stairs and figure out where they're going to stay. And don't you dare put them in a box or in a bottle and keep them away from the bathtub!

::Eomer looking dejected::
Okay... come on guys...

::Eomer picks up Boromir and Haldir and puts them in his palm::

::Lomi::
And you two, don't be any more trouble!

::Boromir::
Lomi... I am hungry!!

::Lomi::
Fine, fine... I'll make us dinner in a bit!

::Gil-Galad::
Oh oh! LEMBAS?!

::Lomi::
Yes I will make Lembas. You'll need them when I'm away for a week.

::All::
A WEEK?!?!

::Lomi::
Yes, it's spring break. I get a week off of school and 'Nifer and I are going to Florida for a few days. I expected you guys to take care of yourselves, but now I'm not so sure. Hopefully this will all be fixed.

::Gil-Galad::
What is this Florida? What is there?

::Lomi::
It's in the south-eastern United States. Back in RL (Real Life). We're going to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. They're theme parks. You ride fun rides, pay too much for food and get annoyed by small children while you bake in the sun. Good times.

::Gil-Galad::
Sounds like...fun?

::Lomi::
Oh it is... a break will be nice.

::Eomer, somewhat crestfallen::
From us?

::Lomi::
No, not from you. You guys are my breaks... from stupid school. Too much work. I don't have any time to visit with my Boys. Or keep you from doing stupid things. Now go. I'm gonna get us some dinner and start some Lembas. You'll need a lot while, I'm gone, no matter what Legolas "I'm the lembas spokesman" says. You guys are pigs.

::Gil-Galad::
Well, you know what they say about growing Boys.... HAHAHAHAH!! Get it? Growing boys? Ohhhhh.. mini boys.....

::Boromir::
Oh you are so funny, aren't you?

---------------
So this was the update I forgot at home before break. I'll hopefully have more this week, but school takes up too much time!
