Chapter 1 - Many Meeting, Elf, Dwarf, Wizard, and Hobbit

The Hobbit (From the viewpoint of Legolas)
“Oh, Tra-la-la-lally, here down in the valley. Oh! Where are you goin, with beards all a-waggin? No knowin’, no knowin’ what brings Mr. Baggins? And Balin and Dwalin, here down to the valley.” With that, Legolas looked out the window of his room in the house of Elrond. On the path from the west, a strange sight marched closer. It looked like Mithrandir leading a company of little children, no dwarves, yes! Thirteen Dwarves, and one odd creature, and Fourteen Ponies, and one horse. Legolas threw on his greenish gray cloak, and dashed to the table where Elledan and Elrohir sat still, enjoying plate and bottle. Beside them, Elrond’s youngest ‘son’ Estel, slept in his chair, too much Lake-town wine! Legolas thought, shaking his head.
“Elledan! Elrohir! Mithrandir draws nigh with a strange sight!” Legolas said, calmly, as Elrohir spat out a chicken bone.
“What is it, Mellon Nin Legolas?” asked Elrohir through a mouthful of chicken and wine. “Mithrandir, Thirteen Dwarves, and one odd creature too.” Legolas replied. Elledan and Elrohir had both just taken a swig of wine. Both simultaneously sprayed it out in great fountain jets.
“WHAT?” both cried in unison, gagging on wine that had gone the wrong way. Suddenly the doors to the
hall burst open. In walked the strange company, accompanied by lord Elrond.
“Thy halls are as curtious as ever lord Elrond.” Gandalf said politely.
"Hullo! I'm Bilbo Baggins B-A-Double G-I-N-S, the Hobbit at your service." the creature said politely.
"Thorin and Company at your service. I am Thorin, this is Dwalin, Ballin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Ori, Nori, Gloin, Oin, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur, and of course, our estemmed Burglar Baggins!" said a dwarf with a blue hood and silver tassles. The Hobbit looked at his feet, then muttered something about 'Expert Treasure Hunter', and Thorin shook that off quickly.


Chapter 2 - The Return to Mirkwood

Legolas then prepaired to depart, but first, Mirthrandir sought to speak with him.
"Master Legolas, I need thee to take a message to your father, Thranduil, king of the elves of northern Mirkwood. Tell him that the council is planning an attack on Dol Guldur. We will rendevous in Lorien, on the seventeenth of April." "I will do as you ask, and a message I have, also for thee." Legolas said. "And what may that message be?" Gandalf asked. "That, if ever you come again to the halls of my father, leave your pipe at the door." Legolas informed him. As Legolas rode out the gate the next morning, he saw, sitting on a rock outside the gates of Imladris, the creature referred to as 'Burglar Baggins' After a talk, they became friends. Then, Legolas eventually came to the high pass, down into Rhovannion, and eventually to Mirkwood, where, after passing Gandalf's message, thought his troubles were over. But they were just beginning.
