As small explanation of the title. We are aware of the fact that it�s �hobbits� and not �hobbies�. However, Orlando refered to the hobbits as �his hobbies� in one of his interviews. We thought it was funny and used that instead.
Dominic knew, as he failed to catch the rope, that it would hurt when he hit the ground. It wasn�t that bad. Not for him, anyway.
"Aw! Go off me, you stupid fool!" Billy�s familiar Scottish accent came from underneath him. Dominic opened his eyes.
"Hey, I�m not dead!" he noticed surprised. A strong arm pulled him on his feet and freed Billy. Sean grinned at him.
"You�re supposed to break the carrot, not Billy�s back!" he told him grinning.
Elijah slided down the hill carefully, followed by Peter Jackson and a hord of assistents.
"We�re alright!" Dom yelled, sticking up his hands.
"Speak for yourself!" Billy whined.
Peter ignored him and said:"OK then let�s do this over. I really want to get it done. Dom, don�t fail to catch that rope AGAIN, and you Billy, get out of his way�"
"What? Yeah wait a minute, it�ll be my fault in a sec!"
"Oh shut up. And you Elijah, just jump after them like a man. You�re the hero in this movie for God�s sake."
"What, d�you wanna say I�m acting like a girl or something??" Elijah reacted insulted.
"Actually yes. Got a problem with that? Now hurry up."
Elijah, Dom and Billy got so steamed up they were about to have a go at Peter, when Sean suddenly burst out laughing and clapped his hands.
"I think you�ve done it again, Peter" he grinned. "Guinness book of records� most insults within a minute. Go, Peter!"
The others laughed at that too, and Peter scratched his head.
"Sorry, lads" he apologised. "I got a bit wound up because we�re on such a tight schedule. Could we do it again please?"
The four lads set themselves again for the scene and finally got it done.
"OK, let�s call it a day" Peter shouted. "Tomorrow�s off people, spend it well�"
Elijah, Dominic, Billy and Sean walked back to their trailers together, quietly chatting about the day, being pretty tired. They didn�t have time to enjoy the peace�
Suddenly they heard running footsteps behind them. Elijah moaned. He hoped he wasn�t to be the victim today. He got lucky.
Orlando jumped on Dominic�s back and slapped his shoulders.
"How�s my fave Hobbie today" he exclaimed, staying on Dom�s back with his knees deep in Dom�s ribs.
"Hey I thought I was!" Billy interrupted with feigned hurt. Elijah shook his head.
"That�s so dumb to say�" he told his older friend softly.
Orli jumped off Dom, who breathed again and rubbed his ribs
.
"I�m so sorry!" Orli replied to Billy.
"Nooooo, you don�t need to�" Billy protested quickly, seeing his mistake, but that was said to a deaf.
Orlando wrapped his arms about his neck and kissed him.
"Ew, ew, ew!" Billy shouted and rubbed his lips. "Yuk. You forgot to shave." He noted.
Orli touched his own cheek. "Yeah, I think so too. Well, how did it go?"
"Great" answered Sean, totally not surprised by the scene between his fellow hobbits and the slightly taller elf.
"It DIDN�T!" Billy protested, shooting Sean a killer look, who wasn�t impressed. After all he was taller.
"Dominic almost broke my back!"
"Peter said Elijah acted like a girl" Dominic yelled over Billy�s comment.
"Aah" Orli exclaimed and took the younger man in a judo hold he called an embrace. "We think you are a man, don�t worry."
Elijah sighed and rolled his eyes. "Now, that�s good to know. Can you please let me go?"
"What�s with you?" Orli asked, letting him go. Usually Elijah was the first to play along in his games.
"Nothing. Just tired. Let�s go." He walked on in a fast pace, leaving his hobbit-friends and the mad elf behind.
Orlando raised his eyebrows questioning at Sean. "What up?" He asked him shortly.
Sean shrugged. "What do you think? If you ask me�"
"I did."
Sean ignored that and continued:"He�s in love. Obviously. What else can it be?"
Orli grinned. "I SO hope I�m the lucky winner" he replied dramatically, clasping his hands together in a ridiculous pose.
Dominic rolled his eyes. "Who could ever love YOU?" he played along. "It�s obviously me."
"You�re all wrong" Billy interfered. "He wants someone experienced. Someone like me."
"Maybe he likes something shabby like that"Sean added, nodding towards Viggo and Seany, like they called Sean Bean, because otherwise it�d be too hard to keep them apart, who were walking towards them.
"Hiya!" said Viggo, slapping Orlando�s shoulders hard. "Waht�cha doin�? Where�s Fro?"
"He�s off,darling." Orlando replied. "We�re arguing about who can have him."
Viggo frowned confused. "What?"
"Elijah�s in love, we think" Sean explained. "We�re trying to find out who the lucky one is."
"I�m positive it�s me" Dom and Billy said at the same time, in so the same Scottish brogue it was dead funny, but as everyone was used to it, they didn�t even pay attention as Billy and Dom tried to pinch eachother.
Seany shook his head. "I�m sorry for you but he�s mine. He was just grumpy because he didn�t see me today."
