(Noa's POV)

Linde and I walked on the streets of New York heading for the Pizza Hut. After a while of walking we got there. We entered the place and waited in the short line. When it was our turn the woman behind the counter smiled at us. "Hello, what will the order be?" She asked friendly. "Uhm, two prosciutto, one Hawaii without pineapple and one margarita." The woman nodded. "Alright, just wait until we call your number and then you can take your order with you." She said and we sat down at a table. I looked at the paper with our number. The number was 2931. I smiled to myself. It was the age of Linde's favourite Tolkien character: Legolas. "Linde?" Linde looked up from her phone and looked at me. "Yes?" "Look at the number of our paper." I said while handing it over to her. She looked at the paper and immediately glanced back at me. "See it's a sign. I'm supposed to be with him." She said jokingly. I laughed and pulled my phone out of my pocket. I was looking at some funny pictures from my favourite fandoms. I often showed them to Linde and she would do the same with any funny picture she saw. We stood up when our number was called out. We picked up the pizza's and we made our way back to our apartment. I was talking to Linde about our exams when two men bumped into us. I fell to the ground and Linde crouched down beside me. "You could at least say sorry!" She shouted at the one of the men. "How dare you talk to a king like that!" He snapped back. Linde laughed "A king?" She looked up at the man that made me fall over and her face dropped. The two men were wearing armour. Their hair was silver blond and longer than our hair. Linde helped me on my feet. The man that made me fall over was extremely tall. The smaller one stood next to him and looked at the ground. "Sorry." The tall man said. I looked at Linde. She was thinking the same thing. "Are you... Lee Pace?" I asked. The man looked confused. "Who is Lee Pace?" The smaller man asked. "And are you Orlando Bloom?" Linde asked him. He shook his head. "We never heard of them before." "So you two are cosplayers?" I asked confused. The tall man straightened his back. "I'll explain what happened if you two don't interrupt me and if you have a place for us to stay." He said. I glanced at Linde. She gave me a quick nod. "Alright. This way." We led them to our apartment and opened the door for them. The two men looked at our humble home like they never saw something like this before. Esmee and Femke weren't in the livingroom. "Well?" I asked a little impatient. "I am king Thranduil of Mirkwood and this is my son, Legolas." Linde and I looked at each other. "We came to this world to find the children from my friends. They were sent here a very long time ago and we want to take them back to where they belong." He said. There was a certain sadness in his voice that made me believe what he said. "Do you know where they are?" Linde asked. The men looked at each other. "We think we do." The man introduced as Legolas said. "So you really are Thranduil and Legolas?" I asked in disbelief. They nodded. Then Esmee came in screaming to Femke that she has to go drinking somewhere else, when she saw Thranduil and Legolas she froze and said. "Who are you, and why are you in here?" Esmee almost screamed. Thranduil was about to say something but I stepped in front of him. "They are new friends and they asked if they could come over!" I quickly said. Esmee inspected them from head to toe. "What are they wearing?" She asked confused. I looked at Linde for some help. "Halloween costumes. They are halloween costumes." She answered but it sounded more like a question. I raised an eyebrow at her. "Really?" Esmee asked looking at me. I nodded my head. "Yes..." Femke walked in the room. "Who are these two weird hotties?" She asked winking at Thranduil and Legolas. Linde walked to Femke and snatched the bottle from her hand. "Stop drinking." She bluntly said and threw the bottle away. "What are your names?" Esmee asked Thranduil and Legolas. They looked at us for help. "That is... Tony." I said pointing at Thranduil. "And that is... Louis?" Linde said pointing at Legolas. "Well, hello Tony and Louis. I am Esmee and that drunken ass over there is Femke."

Linde had gone to the kitchen to get some plates for the pizza's. She came back with a pile of plates and placed them on the dinner table. "Are you hungry guys?" She asked Thranduil and Legolas. "Yes, but may I ask what that is?" Legolas asked looking at the pizza's I was placing on the plates. "You don't know what pizza is?" Femke asked. Linde and I facepalmed and sighed loudly. "Of course they do! They're just being silly! Obviously they know that it's delicious." Linde said hoping that Thranduil and Legolas will just eat it and don't ask any questions. The men sat at the table and picked up a piece of pizza. They carefully ate it and their faces lit up after biting off a small piece. "This is delicious!" Legolas exclaimed. Thranduil nodded agreeing and quickly finished his piece of pizza and grabbed another one. Femke and Esmee also sat down at the table and grabbed their pizza's. "What will we eat?" I asked Linde. "We'll just give our pizza's to Thranduil and Legolas. Come on, we'll just cook something simple and quick." She grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the kitchen. We prepared some soup and bread. We joined the others at the table and ate our food. I looked at the clock and saw it was already 22:12. "I'm going to bed." Esmee said while standing up and walking to her bedroom. Femke also stood up. "I have a headache. I'm off to bed." She said groaning.

When I knew for sure they couldn't hear us anymore I turned two our guests. "Listen you may stay here and we want to help you find the people you're looking for." Legolas nodded gratefully. "Thank you but I think we already did." Legolas said looking at his father. I was very confused. "Then, what are you still doing here?" I asked. "We might have a small problem." Legolas began. "We are almost entirely sure that the girls we were searching for are you two." Linde laughed and I... I don't know what I thought. "You must be kiddin'?" Linde exclaimed. "First you tell us that you are, to us, fictional characters from the books of Tolkien who look identical to the actors from the movies. And now you're saying that we are the people you've been searching for?" Thranduil slowly nodded. "Have you ever met your parents?" Legolas asked. "No. We are orphans." Linde replied. ''Yes" I said agreeing with Linde. ''Well, your life just got a little more complicated'' Legolas said laughingly, but immediately stopped laughing when he received a death glare from his father. ''As Legolas was saying'' Thranduil began, ''we are here to take you back to Middle-earth" Thranduil exclaimed. ''And how do we make sure that this isn't some sick joke" Linde said a little confused. ''Well, I know your names though I never asked for them, Noa and Linde'' Legolas said. Me and Linde just stood there with our mouths hanging open, ''WTF'' Linde screamed surprised. ''Okayyyyyyy, I just need to understand something, you two are here for us?!" ''Yes, that's right''...

(Esmee's POV)

I heard Noa and Linde talking to Tony and Louis downstairs but then I heard Linde screaming ''WTF'' and I heard the names Thranduil and Legolas, so I went downstairs to investigate. I saw Tony and Louis and they seemed vaguely familiar, but I didn't know where I knew them from so I just abandoned the thought. Then I saw Linde and Noa with surprised faces. ''Hello, I heard Linde screaming so I came down to see what's wrong. So what's wrong?'' I asked. ''Nothing!'' Linde and Noa said almost screamed at the same time. ''But I heard Linde scream so what was that all about?'' I asked. ''Well... Noa said that she wants to go out with us tonight, and she has never said that before.'' Linde said a little unsure. ''O, okay, I think. Have fun!'' I said. On that moment Femke came stumbling down the stairs asking where the vodka was. ''There is in a bottle in the refrigerator'' Noa said mischievously. Femke walked over to the refrigerator and opened it. ''He, there is only water in here!'' Femke shouted. Noa smirked and said, ''Yes, but vodka in Russian is water!'' And then I couldn't hold my laughter, and the rest except Femke laughed with me. ''That's not at all funny!'' Femke said pouting. ''O just go to sleep Femke'' I said while pushing her to her room. Before I went to my room myself, I screamed a ''have fun'' to Linde, Noa, Tony and Louis. When I was in my room I thought about Tony and Louis again, I had seen them somewhere and Thranduil and Legolas sounded awfully familiar. Then I laid down on my bed and the sleep came over me...
