Hey everyone this is my first story ever so go ahead and give me as much criticism you can. =:)
Chapter 1:
"Man I'm sooo tired", cried my sister. "Oh please that was so worth it!" I replied still running on adrenalin. "Yeah whatever you say Jordan." We had just gotten back home from a Lord of the Rings convention. My sister Samantha had dressed up as an elf with her bow and arrow while I was still dressed as a hobbit even though I'm like 5'8. Anyway I decided to watch a movie so I just put on whatever was in the DVD player as the menu popped up Sam groaned as I started laughing. The movie was Lord of the Rings convenient huh? So while I settled down and pressed play Sam popped the popcorn.
When the movie started everything was normal until it got to the part where Gandalf and Frodo go rolling through the hills of the shire. Suddenly a storm started up outside it wasn't just a small wind it was like a hurricane number 4. When I looked at the screen it was kind of moving but not like moving as in watching a movie like the screen of the TV was actually moving it looked like a portal like from the kid shows I used to watch it was really creepy but oddly enough I found myself standing and dragging Sam along with me. She screamed in protest but I kept my hold and pulled us closer. As we got in front of the TV I touched the screen and suddenly my hand was sucked in along with the rest of me and my sister.
When we landed we looked around we were in the shire. I looked at Sam and held back a startled yelp now she had been dressed as an elf already but now she actually was an elf. Not only that but I was a hobbit I found that out when I tried to pull my giant feet off. We also had aged we were now in our late twenties. I immediately pulled her up and started running off. "What are you doing?" she yelled. "I'm going to talk to Gandalf "I yelled back, he is a wizard isn't he?" She reluctantly followed me as I ran after the cart.
When I caught up I looked back at Sam she was struggling to keep up I smiled. I guess doing cross country paid off. When I got beside the cart I jump onto the side. Gandalf and Frodo looked shocked that I had just appeared. "Look guys I need to talk with the old man or me and my sister are going to have a heart attack." "Well we can't have that can we." Gandalf said. He pulled the cart to a stop I started to explain what had happened when I had finished telling the story Sam arrived panting. "Never again will I run after a cart." She panted. I giggled and Frodo stared in wonder as she was an elf. "So do you think you could help us understand what's going on Gandalf?" I questioned hoping he would help. He smiled. "Of course but first I must know your names for you seem to know ours." Oh" I said. "My name is Jordan and this is my sister Samantha Sam for short." "Well then Jordan lets find you somewhere to stay." At this Frodo was shaken out of his trance. "They can stay with us." He said. "Great when do we eat I'm hungry" Sam stated. "I swear she's more of a hobbit than me." I whispered to Gandalf. He chuckled and we loaded onto the cart and started for Bag End.
The ride there was silent but not uncomfortable more a curious silence. When we arrived Gandalf knocked on the door we waited I was about to ask Frodo if he was sure his uncle was home when a very old but, adventurous looking hobbit opened the door I immediately knew it was none other than Bilbo Baggins. He looked extremely glad to see his old friend as they embraced each other. After they were done with there reunion he looked curiously at me and Sam. He looked to Frodo then to Gandalf with an inquiring look. "Hi I'm Sam do you have any food?" I smacked her upside the head while Gandalf and Frodo hid small smiles. "It's a long story" Gandalf said to the poor confused hobbit.
He let us all in and had Frodo put on a pot of tea and get some cakes. Sam followed Frodo to the kitchen as I walked with Bilbo and Gandalf to the study. Frodo and Sam came in with tea and we started to explain everything to Bilbo. When we were done I wondered if he was going to tell us we couldn't stay but he smiled and told us we were more than welcome. "Thank you so much Mr. Baggins and Happy early 111th Birthday." I said. As Frodo led us to our room Sam decided to go to bed after eating and running and the convention. Me and Frodo headed to the kitchen as the adults went outside. As we sat down I decided to start a conversation. "Hey I almost forgot Happy early Birthday to you too Frodo." "How'd you know?" He asked looking incredulous. "Lets just say I know things about Middle Earth." I said. He nodded. "So what's it like where you come from?" He asked. "Well girls can fight and don't have to wear dresses and we live in huge buildings and drive cars and have TV." "Oh I've never heard of any of that before." He looked curious but I couldn't tell him too much so I just shrugged my shoulders. "So Frodo do you think you could show me and Sam the rest of the Shire and introduce us around tomorrow?" I asked. "Definitely!" He said.
