Sean just looks at you. And then turn his eyes to the floor.
If they catch you, it should be all for his own fault. He is not a king of jokes.
But when everything ends, Orli should give him the honours also.
Sean Bean looks weird at you both. And also Ian. They suspect. You are sure.
When you reach the group, you put your hand on Billy’s shoulder and make your body lean on his side.
“Hi, mates! What’s the topic about?” you say with your best, sweetest, kindest tone.
“Yeah, what are you guys talking about?” he said, capturing your waist with his hand, while he looks at them smiling.
“Dom!… the man of the day!…” Orli looks at him smirking. “Where you able to enter your trailer at least, hobbittese?”
“Yep, thanks for caring” he said winkling an eye in a funny commander way.
You can’t stop your smile. Even that you know it’s turning devilish.
*He* don’t suspect.
On a second you are recovered and you are again the confidence, friendly, so sweet Elijah.
But inside you, your stomach is jumping of nervous, making all the movement you can’t do actually.
It has been a long day. You shot thousand of little scenes, none of which would last more than three seconds on the final film.
When the night comes, the work is over. Peter prefer you all rest. You’ve worked too hard for shotting the night scenes too. Don’t worry. Go and rest. Tomorrow should be other day.
While you all walk to the tend for some dinner, after keeping off foots and costumes, you catch your friends by their waists and walk like fools singing horrible songs. Intones less.
Billy is trying to make the most horrible solo ever.
Dom is trying to sing between high laughs.
Sean is just laughing.
And you… You are that nervous that you can not sign nor laugh.
Just look at Orli. And then stare to Sean Bean and Ian.
They know something is happening. But they can’t imagine what.
You all have your dinner between laughs and bad jokes.
Orli is all the time remembering, reliving the good joke he made to you: taping all the hobbit’s trailer up with tape so that any of you could enter… yeah. Too funny… Five points for the idea but only two for a quite easy procedure.
But revenge is always sweet when comes cold!.
And is cold now. And ready.
And while having dinner the four of you are feeling the sweetest feeling a human (or a hobbit) can feel: sweet cold revenge served on a silver tray, and a victim who still doesn’t know what’s going on…
When you are leaving the tend to go bed, you all say your most kindness good nights.
But when you are out of their vision, you all hide at the back of one of the biggest trailers, looking to Orli, Sean Bean, Viggo, Ian and John going to each other’s trailers.
You start to follow them and wait hidden while they chat a bit more before separating.
Sean don’t want to be part of this.
“Is disgusting, mates” he says in a whisper.
“You shut up and go bed, coward!” Dom says immediately. “This one’s good, is the best…” He smiles nervously.
“Orli is going to scream in rage!” Billy adds laughing freaky.
“Ten points for idea to the hobbits, and a thousand for procedure, right?” you say in a whisper giving your five to Dom’s.
You see Orli getting close to his trailer. Keep off the keys from his pocket. Look at them. Choose the right one.
“Oh my god!” Dom is unable to stop. He touches your back. So he notices how much you are trembling because of the nerves.
Orli steeps up the two stairs of his trailer and reach the door. He open it.
“He did it!” Billy says freaking. “He stepped into it all!”
And you three covers each other’s mouth for not laugh out loud. Though is difficult, because you three are about to explode of the fun. Sean is the only one that is not laughing. His stomach has turn upside down inside him. He is feeling sick.
“Oh, God! Is gross!” he says.
“Shut up!” you three say at the same time.
“Is a fake, right?” Billy said at least. That seems to calm Sean.
Orli enters on his trailer and close the door behind him. And you wait.
Your hearts are beating so fast you are all about to have a multiple heart attack.
“OH, SHIT!!!!” Orli’s furious scream came out into the dark night. “SHIT!… FUCK! Motherfucking hobbits!!”
And you all explode laughing so much that hurts your lungs and your throats.
And you embrace each other and start jumping of joyfulness because is the best joke ever and Orli… fucking king of the jokes since now… got through it all!
The dog poo on the door was fake, but Billy have covered it with brown make up so that when Orli put his foot on it, the sole would stuck the colour and with luck, all the floor of the trailer should be fully painted on the gross colour from Orli’s footprints.
The inside doors decoration you started was end by Dom. You have sprayed all over the inside of his trailer with shaving foam and then squirted hairspray all over the taps so everything was sticky.
Orli is still screaming in rage swearing words, the stronger swearing words you have ever heard coming from him.
“Hobbits’ Power!!!” You scream so aloud you are sure Orli have heard you.
And then you all start running to your own trailer, before Orli recovers and got so mad to run over you.
And when you get there, you are out of breath, still laughing and as happy as you have never been in your whole life.
Close your eyes.
Do you feel it?
Happy. Untouchable. King of jokes.
Young. Joyful. All your life to live it like this. With your best friends at your side. For ever.
Free.
That is New Zeland like.

END
