(I believe I'm the only Hobbit left now!

Thankfully, the elves still owed Ari a favor after the last Christmas party (don't ask--she was sworn to secrecy), so they arrived promptly. Ari and Alanna filled them in on their plans and watched as several of the Elves dispatched themselves into the forest, to wait to launch a sneak attack on the Nazgul. Ari ducked as another apple was lobbed their way. She picked one up off the ground and examined it, feeling sorely tempted by the shiny red fruit. She had just gotten her braces off a week before, meaning that her two-year orthodontist-mandated ban on apples was over. Surely just a bite couldn't hurt...
A fell beast soared over her head, and she chucked the apple as far away from her as she could. "You won't get me that easily!" she yelled to the Nazgul. "We're smarter than we look, you know! We won't trust your apples! We've seen
Snow White!" Another apple soared towards her, and Ari had to dive to the ground to avoid being hit.
"Watch out for the marshmallows!" she cautioned her companions. "These Nazgul are so naive, thinking that will tempt us. Unless they have giant graham crackers and Hershey's bars to go with them, I'm not interested. On second thought, make that grahams and Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups!" she laughed. "Okay, elves! At the ready!"
