The Fellowship Goes Digital by SheElf33
The Fellowship was all gathered in Minas Tirith, all eating together for the last time before they all set off home. Though it was a sad time, they were all laughing and having a good time. As they all neared to finishing their food, they found themselves in an awkward silence until Merry finally spoke.
“This feels so strange, doesn’t it? We have been around each other for the past year, but it feels like we have known each other forever. And just think, this may be the last time we are all together.”
The other seven nodded in agreement.
“This may be the last time we see each other, but friendships last forever. We will always have each other in our thoughts,” Legolas said.
Pippin glanced up at the elf, whom he happened to be sitting beside.
“Speaking of forever, exactly how old are you, Legolas?”
All seven glanced at Pippin. Legolas had an amused smile on his face.
“We have been traveling with each other for about a year now and you are just now asking? I thought you were more inquisitive than that. Well, Pippin. How old do you think I am, and I will tell you if you are close.”
Aragorn glanced at the elf whom glanced back with a smile. Aragorn rolled his eyes and glanced to Gandalf, who was also watching Pippin with a grandfather-like smile. The Hobbit thought for a while before answering.
“Well… You look the youngest off all of us here, but I know elves age differently than other races. You must be about… four thousand!”
Aragorn, Gandalf, and Legolas all busted out laughing. It was a while before the three calmed enough for Legolas to talk. Aragorn was forced to wipe tears from his eyes.
“Are you trying to age me, Master Hobbit? You are not even close. I am 2,779.”
Frodo looked over to Legolas in surprise.
“Are you really that old?”
Aragorn answered before Legolas could.
“Are you kidding? He is still a child!”
Legolas snorted and shook his head.
“I am not and you know that. I am young, yes, but and completely considered an adult.”
Sam watched as the two fought their friendly battle before breaking in.
“Okay, then we can decide. How old are you by your standards?”
“I am 23.”
The rest of the fellowship glanced at each other a moment before they all broke out in smiles.
“That makes you the youngest! Yes, you are a child!” Pippin said before everyone started laughing. Legolas joined in for a short time.
“But only the youngest by elven standards. If you go by true standards, only one here surpasses my age.”
They all glanced at Gandalf. Being the inquisitive Hobbit he was, Pippin had to ask.
“How old are you, Gandalf?”
The wizard thought to himself for a moment.
“Well. I came to Middle Earth 2,019 years ago, but before that, I wandered many years. My true age is only for me to know.”
“Because your so old, you just don’t want us teasing you,” Gimli muttered under his breath. The only ones that heard him were Legolas, Pippin, and Aragorn, who all snickered. Gandalf glanced at him and he immediately feigned an innocent look.
“Don’t look at me! Legolas was the one that said it!”
Legolas’s jaw dropped as he looked at Gimli and the dwarf could not help but smile guiltily. Gandalf sighed and shook his head.
“You are all acting like children.”
Aragorn shrugged.
“Oh, come on Gandalf. This may be the last time for all of us to be together. Let us have happy memories. You have to admit you are enjoying it too.”
The old wizard nodded and chuckled.
“Yes, I’ll admit it. I have having a good time. We all are.”
The eight fell silent again for a long while. They had finished eating a long time ago, but no one wanted to leave. Should they leave, the night would end. The faster the night ended, the faster they would find themselves leaving the next day. Gimli suggested that they all get an ale, but Aragorn declined. It would not be good for the night before long travel. And a long travel was what they all, save Aragorn, had to look forward to the next day. Legolas had made a point, saying he didn’t have to leave the next day. His father was use to him being off for long periods of time, but he knew as well as Aragorn did that he would have to leave soon. Though the rest of the Fellowship did not know, he was a Prince, and that brought duties upon him that he had not seen to for a long time. Honestly, he wasn’t looking forward to it. It was all ready well into the night. The sun would be rising in a matter of hours, but no one wanted to be the one to break up the night. Reluctantly, though, one by one they began to excuse themselves and make their way slowly up to their chambers. Before long, it was only Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn left in the dining room. The three had grown the closest of all. They all sat in silence in the empty room. It was Legolas whom spoke to break the quiet of the room.
“I enjoyed traveling with the two of you. Never before had I had such companions as yourselves, and I could live a lifetime and still find no match. I consider myself lucky to call myself your friend.”
Gimli and Aragorn both smiled and nodded.
“You talk as if we will never see each other again,” Aragorn said. “We will. The entire fellowship may not, but the three of us will.”
Both Legolas and Gimli nodded in unison.
“Of course we will,” Gimli added. “I couldn’t stand not being able to out-kill you again!”
Aragorn smiled and watched as Legolas rolled his eyes.
“That was once, Gimli. Once out of how many?”
The Dwarf smiled and stood up as he began to head towards his room.
“Once is enough, Legolas! Once is enough! I still won’t let you live it down!”
Legolas groaned and stood and quickly followed the dwarf close behind. Their friendly fighting could be heard slowly drawing quieter until a door shut, followed by a second shutting door. Aragorn smiled and shook his head. Finally, he took his leave as well, leaving the room empty.
((The next chapter will begin their adventure. This chapter was more a prologue. PLEASE R&R!!!))

(whoops, there i go again!)
Very cool! I would praise more but I have to go. I love all of your stories; keep them updated!!! So far I’ve liked “We’ve Lost It All” the best. Keep it up.
Great story!!
Great Story!! Love this chapter!!!!! I cannot wait to read the next chapter!!!
Wow, I love it! Very good idea. Keep going, I can’t wait to read more!
Interesting.
Was 1dering when the next part is coming. Please hurry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very interesting… looking forward to chapters from other characters’ points of view (which I assume will be following, this one was clearly about Legolas. I’d like to see a chapter about one or more of the hobbits:) ) Defintely a spiffy idea, keep going!!Taking scenes from other books or movies might be fun, such as (some of my personal favorites) Discworld by Terry Pratchett, Harry Potter, or a Monty Python skit. Or taking scenes from another video game night be rather interesting… Whatever you decide to do, do it quick!! I want more!! 😉
Oh so cool! Love it! And, an idea for new levels–what if they face the Balrog, and Gandalf steps back in time, so he’s not killed? And, what if Boromir lives? Does that mean he can come back in real life? Hmm… that’d be kind of awkward…
I bow down to you, your awesomeness. This is a great idea! Keep it coming.
awesome job!
It’s very good. It has a feeling like it could actually happen in one of the books or in another, seperate book. I look forward to reading the other chapters.
Hmm… A videogame… ive played so many so tough to choose… I would either have to say Halo (legolas with a sniper rifle, heh) or for a more mystical one Phantasy Star 4 for sega genisis (which i doubt you have played) well thats all i got, anyway great story
Although this story is written in a different air than Lord of the Rings,it was for the better. The writer adds a light emotin to what made nearly all of us cry at the movies.
Very creative! I liked it! can’t wait to read more!
That was pretty good! You should have them meet a Black Mage from Final Fantasy. Or an assassin from Diablo II Lord of Destruction Expansion Pack!
Write more before I lose the last of my sanity!!! Cheers!
Can you incorporate other books in or is it just video games? I would suggest, if you are doing books, something like the Bartimaeus Trilogy, Eragon, or Artemis Fowl. Cheers!
Most stories I read on here just make me laugh, but with this one I was literally on the edge of my seat. I was staring at the computer screen so hard, I think I got a headache. If you don’t right more I think I’ll just die!
*smacks head for forgeting a comment* Oh, yeah. As for more chapters, how about something from Zelda?
OMG! Been waiting soooooo long to review this story!(just got my password 5 minutes ago!) It has got to be my personal favorite. PLEASE right the next chapter! Please, please, please! I absolutely LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have thought I would have disliked MY Legolas getting hurt, but it seems to have made his even more wonderful to me! (Yes, I know I’m increadibly and riddiculusly weird! My friends remind me daily…) And yes, I know I am babbling, but I had to get this out somehow!!!! My creativity has taken a wild spin… must go write… many ideas… Thank you sooooooooooo much for writing this story! Please write more!

I will possitively DIE if you don’t write the next chapter. Please…
This is a pretty cool story. I think you did about enough explaination in the story that I could tell what was going on, but the little bit of background the beginning really helps. Post more soon.
Here is an idea for a chapter- Quiddtich World Cup Game. That would be interesting to see the fellowship up on broomsticks.
This is really interesting. I like what you’ve done so far. You might try a level based on Terry Pratchett. He’s written enough unusual books that you could probably have a good setting. Most people have read at least some Harry Potter, so everyone would get a level about that.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY LEGOLAS????!!!!
IF YOU EVEN THINK OF KILLING LEGOLAS, I WILL TRACK YOU DOWN AND CUT YOUR HEART OUT WITH A SPOON!!!!!!!! (naw, kidding.) But I WILL be VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done! This is one of the best fanfics I´vs ever read! Please, keep writing! I´m totally with MEW8012! I totally loved the fanfic! Please, please, please, keep writing!
I noticed that Legolas is being the center of attentions in this fanfic. And even tought I hate seeing him getting hurt, I´M LOVING YOUR STORY!

Why hath thou not added anymore to any of your stories?!?!?! (Pardon my bad Old English, I’m no professor) Anwho, UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE! And don’t give up on your stories please! Very very good. Hannon le, mellon. Cheers!
Get better (you probably are in the time it takes to update) Post more soon.
I really like this story. And I also like the changes in the storyline. Great job!
Hey I love the story so far! finish up with Shanna the Elven Bane, I so want to see what you will do next! The (if you have read it) maybe do somthing from the Drizzt series (forgotten realms) or something from the game Champions of Norrath. Up to you. DesertElf
I love it!and i felt so scarded about legolas lol but plz keep writin i love it!
Awesome! Please write more! The thing that I really like about this is that the characters are all decent. You didn’t make Legolas a priss or Aragorn a boastful jerk or anything like that. They actually act like they did in the movies. Thanks for that.
Hmmmmmmmm, maybe you could do something with Star Wars later…..
this was so sirous i only laughed once…litrly
Hey there, SheElf. It’s been a while since I’ve heard from you, or since you’ve updated any of your stories. Would you please right more? This is one of my favorites! Talk to you later, and keep up the good work.
Wow, this is very interesting! ^.^ I can’t wait for the next chapter!!
Great! I like it! Please, more!!!!!!!
