[Niluial]

Niluial’s heart was dancing its almost time, it’s almost time she kept saying to herself. She put the last curler in her hair and smiled. Niluial was all ready for the party (except the hair of course!!), her makeup was all ready and very shiny and her dress was all ready to put on. She took the green dress off the hanger and giggled “Lossie and I are going to look lovely tonight” she said to herself and walked out her Christmas party room. The place they were holding the Christmas party was big and lovely, pretty much like a fancy hotel. Each guest was provided with a room (encase they go sleepy, but as we know it’s impossible with the Imladris bunch) and the party hall was great. The DJ equipment was set up and the bar was bigger than ever to please the alcoholics who were coming *hint hint* , the snacks were all out, nuts, sweets, drinks, chocolates, donuts shaped as rings and much more. The table stood on the far end and was set with the finest silver cutlery and white, green, red and gold decorations.

Niluial walked into the big hall where the party was to be held “Hey you! Don’t forget the red carpet they are arriving soon!!!” Niluial ordered to some poor helper then she turned around “And you! Yes you in the red hat why is the Christmas tree so close to the fire place… we don’t want it to burn!!” Niluial said and she quickly ran back into her room. One by one she took her curlers out, finally they were all out. Niluial looked lovely (as always ) she put on her dress and puffed it up “perfecto” she said winking at herself. She walked into the hall, it was warm and had a fuzzy, happy atmosphere, almost romantic. She looked at the big tree in the middle, with all the green faeries flying around it. The faeries were so bright and calming.

“Ah, I forgot about the awards hall!!” she said to herself. Niluial rushed into the next room where the awards were to be held and made sure everything was perfect. The awards hall was big with a huge stage, it looked a lot like the Oscar awards hall only a little smaller. Some dwarves were setting the lights and neatening up the curtains. It was all ready. Niluial sighed with relief and walked back into the party hall.

It was only time before everyone started arriving, Niluial waited patiently tapping her foot on the ground. She couldn’t wait for everyone to see her outfit and she couldn’t wait to see everyone else’s outfit. She put on some Christmas carols for the arrivals, the DJ was going to arrive soon, hopefully. And of course the very important bartender, Niluial doubted the Bartender would get much rest! She heard the tip tap of a horse, distantly but clear “someone is coming” she screamed but calmed herself down instantly. She waited, looking out the big window. Who was it?

[Firondoiel]

Firi rode up to the party hall on her white horse. It was the some horse that had carried her to the Downie party so long ago it seemed. Firi gracefully dismounted her horse and gave it into the care of a wide eyed hobbit. Carefully, she checked her hair to make sure it was all neatly in place. Any wrinkles were quickly smoothed from her long red dress. Finally satisfied, she began her long walk down the red carpet.

Firi's sharp eyes saw Niluial peeking out the window. She warmly smiled at her friend. Nilly smiled back and waved.

'Here we go' thought Firi excitedly as she entered the hall. It was brightly and beautifully decorated. Firi slipped her white cloak off and hung it on an intricate golden stand by the door. She then hastily made her way towards Niluial.

"Mae govannen mellon nin!" Firi exclaimed as she embraced Nilly. Firi looked over Nilly's attire. Nilly wore a long rich green silk dress with slit in the side. She also had large green fairy like wings. "You look absolutely marvelous! she exclaimed. "And so does the hall." she added as she looked over the festive room.

[Mippin]

Mippin marched in, adjusting the loose wires hanging out of her pockets and every which way. She stopped to the side to look at the grand hall. Bending over to tape a loose wire down with black electrical tape, she noticed her 'work station' shall we say.

She got up, and fled over to her station, and flipped through all her records. Going through a mental check list, she randomly flipped switches on and off, creating a bit of noise. At one point, music burst into the hall, reverberating off the walls, and absorbing in some of the tapestries.

Mippin tilted her head a few times, listening intently, then turned the music off. Soon as everything seemed perfect to her, she decided to take out the spare wires, and headphones and such she had.

Walking over to a large mirror, Mippin looked at herself. She wasn't wearing anything special. A black T-shirt that read 'Save the ents!!!' on the front and on the back read '...or else.' and had a skull and crossbones. She also wore slightly baggy black pants, that had black electrical tape stuck all over the sides. She also wore a black tie with blue pinstripes, and a spiffy hat.

Mippin then took a seat at her little station, wedged in between two enormous speakers, and took out a list. It was her list of speeches. She read them over and over, trying to memorize them.

The person beside Mippin, who was there since she walked in, looked over at the speech. Mippin decided to read them to this person, whom she liked to call 'William'. He nodded and said they sounded good to him.

Mippin, being slightly anxious to start the party, decided to mingle with the guests that had already arrived. She, and that person who kept following her, (whomever he may be) walked over to the main hall, where she saw Firondoiel and Niluial.

'Aaye!' she shouted, rushing towards the two, and giving them a great big hug. 'The music is all set up, when all the guests arrive, I'll be off to deal with that.' she said slightly hurriedly. 'This is great!' she added.

[ElberethVarda]

ElberethVarda brushed her short black curls back into place before entering the hall where the party was to be held. Excitment was building and she could feel it n the air. She entered and hung her silver-blue cloak up. She saw Firiondoiel's next to it and smiled. She's always early, Elbereth thought remininscently.

She surveyed the hall. Niluial and Firondoiel were conversing quietly beside the beautiful tree, decorated with green fairies. It was a lovely sight, twinkling and fluttering as if in a breeze.

Niluial caught sight of her and hurried over, followed by Firondoiel. "It's wonderful to see you here!" Niluial said, greeting her warmly. Firi smiled at her. "You both look lovely," Elbereth told them, her eyes twinkling. "I'm so excited!"

[Firondoiel]

"Mistress Mippin!" Firi gave her friend a huge hug. "Wonderful to see you!"

Mippin smiled. 'The music is all set up, when all the guests arrive, I'll be off to deal with that.' she said slightly hurriedly. 'This is great!' she added.

"Very lofty!" agreed Firi while Nilly giggled.

Suddenly, a very familiar figure caught Nilly and Firi's eye. "Elbereth!"

They all raced towards the dark haired maiden to welcome her. Elbereth chuckled at the threesome running across the hall. Firi realized what a sight they must of made and began laughing too. Very soon, the laughter got out of hand and they were all giggling hysterically. Yes, the fun had definitely begun.

Firi finally calmed her laughter and gasped for breath. "My goodness!" she said grinning. Firi linked her arm with Elbereth's. "So, what shall we do while we wait for everyone else?"

[Niluial]

"It's wonderful to see you here!" Niluial said. I wonder when every one ells is going to arrive she wondered. Niluial smiled at Elvish Hobbit and “The music is great!” she shouted across the hall but Elvish Hobbit couldn’t hear. They both started using their mind-reading powers of doom to communicate. Niluial tapped her foot “Where is Alatariel… I need a drink!!” Niluial said impatiently. She couldn’t take it, Niluial rushed to the bar and grabbed a cool Bacardi Breezer and held it close to her heart then kissed it. Firi looked at Niluial, it was a worried expression. Niluial blushed and gave a sheepish smile. The music sounded great, so great Niluial had to dance. It looked lovely with her dress and all. Niluial’s green, silk dress shined in the light and her great faerie like wings glittered (anyone know what Nilly is dressed up as??). She wore Cinderella like shoes, made out of the finest glass. Niluial’s curls turned out better than what she expected they were bouncy and faerie like, some of the strands of hair had glitter on them. “Oh my lipstick” she exclaimed. Niluial was the worst person with lipstick, she would always smudge it or wipe it off by accident.

She sat down on one of the wooden chairs with a silk cushion on top, and watched the green faeries float. She eyed the clock and wondered when Lossie was to arrive. She couldn’t make a great impact without Lossie by her side. Niluial craved green faeries, the drinkable kind *hint hint* Niluial giggeld to herself. Firi walked up to her “And why are you giggling, evil thoughts?” Firi asked.
“Oh, erm no I was just laughing at a joke.. erm” Niluial said.
Firi looked at Niluial with a grin “come along the snack table is in need of attention”
Niluial smiled “and I guess we are the perfect ones to give it attention?”
“Indeed we are!” Firi said winking at Nilly.

[Mippin]

'William!' Mippin shouted out, to greet Elbereth. She smiled and rolled her eyes playfully at that. Mip rushed up, and gave Elbereth a great big hug, then introduced her to the person who had been with Mip the whole time. 'Well, this is...William. Really, he is.' she said, stifling a laugh.

William (once again...whomever he may be) looked around, slightly worried, and tried to go back to the music. Mip let him pull her away and she began playing some tunes. She tapped her foot lightly in tune with the music, and then watched everyone so far.

Nil was dying to have a drink, but no one except Alatariel would give her one, fortunately for someone who had not yet arrived by the name of GotO. Mippin decided to wait for a majority of the guests to arrive before starting up the dances and whatnot.

William flipped through a few albums, and pointed at one. Mip checked it out, and instinctively straightened her tie. He snickered, and suggested she play it, but Mippin frowned, 'Let's keep it clean, at least for the present, eh?'

At this William handed her another album. Tilting her head a smidge, Mippin waited for the song to end then began playing the music William handed her. The music rocked, but Mip didn't say anything. In fact she waited for those who recognized it to groan at her, and try to get her to play something else. But amazingly they didn't.

Programming a few buttons, Mippin automated the records so she could leave them for a while, before she had to go back. She dragged William along with her, and went over to Nil and Firi.

'When do you think Alatariel will be here?' she asked.

'I'm not sure, but I want my green faeries!' Nil said, rather forcefully. She then smiled sheepishly once more. Mippin raised an eyebrow at her then shrugged.

'She better be here soon, she should rehearse her speeches for the Ultimate Imie!' Mippin said, shouting over the music, which had just switched to some sort of grunge rock song.

Mip saw that this wasn't the best song to welcome people. So, singing along with the song, and air-drumming, she strided over to change the song. She switched it to some nice lovely music, with ethereal vocals. It was very pleasant. Mip sat on her stool, and listened to the flowing music.

[silverdream]

Silver dismounted smoothly and left her Sinrath into the stables, efficiently and deftly sorting the mare out, reigning her in a stall and checking there was food and water for her. She smiled, raising an eyebrow in thought, before looking around quickly to see that no-one else was there, before taking out the little oak cookies from her pocket, shaped as fir trees, and leaving them near the food where all would see them as they sorted their horses. Giving a pair of the little trees to Sinrath, who munched eagerly at them. When confronted with Silver's cookies, the noble mare could rarely resist acting like a foal in her eagerness.

Straightening the navy riding dress she wore, the skirts (plentious to allow for riding without going sidesaddle), Silver made sure the white, V-neck collar was straight in a cracked mirror, before walking towards the hall, as eager to join the party as her mare had been to take the cookies.

As she entered the festively-decorated hall, Silver grinned, looking around, then scanned the crowd for the one she needed to be there. Nodding, satisfied, when she found her, she then turned back to the direction Niluial was, coming towards her, having felt eyes on her back beforehand.

Her friend looked splendid, even more so than usual, and Silver came towards her grinning, her long, lacy, sloping sleeves swinging as she reached towards her to hug her, careful of the fantastic wings on her friend's back. "Nilly! You look...incredible! And the hall..." she looked around, nodding admiringly, then turning back, grinning. "You've done it proud, Nilly!"

[Elentari]

Elentari rode to the party on her swift steed Moon. She dismounted at the red carpet and took a deep breath. This was so much like the Downies, yet her emotions were different. She was so excited because this was Imladris' first EVER party! Yet, she didn't feel nervous like she had at the Downies, most likely because she knew everyone here... Well, she had to! She was the "Fairly Knowledgable Eru"! She couldn't wait to see what all of her friends where wearing.

Elentari herself was wearing a midnight-blue dress with a mithril belt intertwined with mithril. Her sword, Star, hung by her side without a scabbard, slotted though an extra loop in the belt, as this is how she had worn it when she first came to Middle Earth from the east. In fact, she was wearing the same outfit she had when she had first arrived, including her midnight-blue Istari hat. Her shield also hung on her belt, bearing her Istari symbol of a star. On her brow she wore a circlet of gold and on her neck was a golden necklace with a large jewel embeded in it. The same type of jewel was also on the pommel of her sword and near the top of her staff, which she also carried with her.

She took her hand off Moon's neck and watched as the horse made her own way to the stables. Elentari hurried down the red carpet and attempted to make a quiet entrance, but was stopped by Niluial as soon as she took a step inside the building.

"Elentari!" shouted Niluial, almost running to greet the Istari-Elf. "You look so wonderful!"

"As do you, as always, Niluial." Elentair smiled and hugged Niluial, careful as not to smudge her friend's makeup. "You've done a wonderful job organising everything. It wouldn't have been anywa near as "spiffy" if I had have done it!"

"I'm sure you would have done a marvalous job too Elentari."

Elentari took her leave of Niluial and went to meet the others. Mippin was there, and ElberethVarda, Firi, and Silver!

[Niluial]

Nilly sneaked to the bar and stole another drink. She opened it with an evil smile and took a big gulp of it and sighed. Niluial looked around who to talk to, who to talk to she wondered. At that moment the doors opened and in walked Silverdream, Nilly got all excited and walked towards Silver and gave one of her smiles. Silver reached over to hug Nilly even though it was odd with the wings in the way. "Nilly! You look...incredible! And the hall..." silver paused and grinned "You've done it proud, Nilly!" Niluial smiled yet again. She couldn’t stop smiling it was the excitement. “Thankee! And you look lovely too in your navy dress, its beautiful!” Niluial exclaimed giving Silver another hug. “Oh wait here! I need to say hello to Elentari!” Niluial said running off.

"Elentari!" shouted Niluial "You look so wonderful!"
"As do you, as always, Niluial."
"You've done a wonderful job organising everything. It wouldn't have been anyway near as "spiffy" if I had have done it!"
"I'm sure you would have done a marvellous job too Elentari."
Elentari gave Nilly one more hug and ran off in the direction of Mippin. Niluial walked gracefully back to Silver and smiled. “Come lets go watch the green faeries” Niluial said pulling Silver in the direction of the huge tree.

[Firondoiel]

Firi stood contentedly by the snack table. Pistachios were one of her all time favourites. So she stood snacking away with her hands full of the little goodies. Silver and Elentari had just arrived. Firi smiled and called a cheerful greeting to them. She would have waved but it was rather difficult to do so with your hands full. Firi looked around wondering where Elbereth had gotten herself too. Her wandering gaze fell on Mistress Mippin at her station. She closed her eyes and listened to the pretty music playing.

Her eyes snapped open as a thought struck her. A grin adorned her face as her hands went towards her pocket. The forgotten pistachois fell to the floor. Firi immediately looked up so when everyone looked to see what the noise was, they looked up. When everyone's head was looking up, Firi kicked the nuts under the table then went whistling about her way.Firi's rose red dress dragged the floor as she walked towards Mistress Mippin.

Mistress Mippin smiled at her as she approached. "Having a good time Firi?" she asked.

"Oh yes!" said Firi as she handed Mippin a CD. "Please?" Firi asked with her puppy eyes.

Mippin looked at the CD and rolled her eyes. "I could have guess." she remarked when she saw the Beatles title.

[Mippin]

Mippin put the CD in, and paused it immediately, spinning around on her stool, she grabbed a mic and called everyone's attention.

'Listen up folks! We have a special treat from the lovely Firondoiel. We're gonna shake things up - Beatles Style!' she shouted, hearing some scattered cheers. There wasn't enough guests yet for a full on crowd-roaring scene, but that was alright. She hit play, and the music started. Mippin spun around, singing along very softly.

She got up, and walked over to Firi. 'Beatles, eh? Spiff. I've got something planned myself.' she said, grinning broadly, and swinging her arm (as best she could..it was rather difficult, you see) around William.

Mip went over to the snack table, and picked up a Ring-shaped donut. She chuckled the word 'ingenious' and she took a bite. William took a donut for himself, then the two went to greet Silver and Elentari.

Mippin snuck up on Silver, soundlessly. She waited a moment, then suddenly yelled, 'SILVER!!!' Silver turned around, and Mippin gave her a great big hug. 'Sorry I couldn't get to you earlier! How are you enjoying the party?' she proceeded in asking.

'It's wonderful!' Silver said. They talked for a little bit, then Mip went off to find Elentari. As soon as she did, she stood before Elentari, and bowed, slightly jokingly. 'Hail Elentari!' she said, then she rose, and gave Elentari a hug of her own. 'So glad you're here! First Imladris party, it's going to absolutely rock!' Mippin said, jerking her hand enthusiastically at the last word. They spent a while talking about what they expected of the party, and then Mip set off once more to speak with the other guests.

Coming upon Elbereth, she proceeded in asking her what she thought of the party. They walked towards Firi once more, who was enjoying the music. Taking a while to talk music, Mippin sensed that she should be getting back to her station.

'It was nice talking to you, I'll be back in a bit!' she said, darting off with William, to change the music. Mip saved Firi's CD in a special place to give back to her when there was time. For now, Mip had to search for a record to play. She rummaged through a small collection, muttering to herself. 'gish, shiver, good feelings, hmm...aha!' she said at last. She stuck on a record, and began to play it. It was Travis, naturally. (What else did you expect it to be? hmm?) Playing a few of the softer melodies, to keep it inviting, Mip took out a pen and began jotting something down on her list, and marking other things out. She handed the paper to William. 'How's that?' she asked, as he read it. 'It's great, I liked the other one a lot too though.' Mip pondered for a while.

'You're going to go along, aren't you?' she asked William, who nodded, and looked at her as if to say 'Do I have a choice?' Mip smiled, then kept writing some more. She wondered where Alatáriel was, and also what had happened to all the other guests invited. She waited patiently, and kept working on her speech.

[ElberethVarda]

Elbereth saw Elentari enter the hall. She looked wonderful, especially her mithril belt. All of the guests that were here had amazing gowns; it seemed that most of them had come straight from Middle Earth.

Elbereth smiled as she saw Firi assail Elvish Hobbit with a cd in hand. I could have guessed, she thought. Elbereth walked over to Firi. She raised her eyebrows. "The Beatles, mellon nin?" Firi smiled sheepishly. Elbereth laughed and threw a pistachio at her. Firi frowned in mock annoyance and threw one back. Elbereth filled her hand full of them and pelted Firondoiel with them. Soon, they both were breathless with laughter. Elbereth collapsed on the ground, her airy skirt billowing out around her.

"Wasting good pistachios, are we?" came Elentari's voice. Elbereth jumped up from the floor and brushed her skirt off. "We couldn't resist," Firondoiel said apologetically. Elentari's mouth twitched. Niluial's laugh came from behind her. "I'll clean them up," said Elbereth, smiling conspiritorially. "I wouldn't trust you to," laughed Nilly. "We'll call one of the hobbits."

[Helkster]

The paparazzi were snapping pictures as they saw the stars entering the building. A lot of people entered and the photographers shot as the stars walked on the red carpet. Then a man came down the red carpet. He did not look too fancy, he just looked like a regular elf. Altough he could have washed his clothes. The fans shouted and some people waved with papers to get an autograph. The elf gave them away till they were satisfied and then went inside.

He scouted around at the entrance with his sword already out. But he saw no annoying little man asking him to leave his weapons, so he just stuck em back were they belonged. He was annoyed by the fact that he had to hide all those knifes for nothing. He walked on and saw a beautifully decorated room. Thinking to himself how he really loved christmas, he walked to the snacktable. He scouted around, then suddenly ducked and looked underneath the table. He got up and suddenly faced Niluial. She smiled at him and asked him what hell he was doing.

"Just checking if my son was not under the table with nicked fireworks." He said.

"Helkahothion, that was the downs party, we don't have fireworks. By the way, where is Anuion and Bordarigorn?"

"Late as always. I dunno if they will show up. Last time I left them, Bordarigorn was sniffing like a mad dog and looking for wargs. Anuion was joining in, so when they arrive, there best clothes will be ruined and covered with blood. Ohw well, it will do the red carpet some good." Helka said with a smile.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Nilli asked.

"Nothing dear Niluial, just kidding. You did a wonderfull job with this dump. Hell, it even has a bar big enough for my thirst. Altough I doubt your stocks when my son and his lovely companion show up. Ohw well, you did a wonderfull job anyway. I really like this christmas thing. Love the tree, man, it's a good thing you didn't put it a bit closer to the fireplace. That would have been a really big flame if you know what I mean."

Helka and Nilly laughed as they walked to the bar and ordered their drinks. Helka, like always, the strongest thing the house would serve but pure alcohol.
