Me no own The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, (Damn!) so you no sue! Okay?
Not sure if this has been done before but i'm doing it now. Me and my friends (well my original characters based on me and my friends) are all grown up and have just moved into our first house together. But something is amiss.
So, um, here we go!
"Why do I have to do the kitchen?" Moaned Orchid Noo'dil.
"Would you rather be digging up the garden?" Inquired Blaise Earthsinger, as she walked past with a bin liner full of 70's wallpaper.
"No Blaise." Orchid Noo'dil told her in a monotone. "But, I hate scrubbing! There's all this dirt in-between the tiles and I have to use a knife to get it out!" She showed Blaise the kitchen utensil.
"Well, you hate ants even more." Blaise told her. "And Nissa's got to deal with a hell of a lot of them out there." She jerked her head towards the spade wielding maniac out side.
"A plague on all goddamn vertebrates! We need to get some poison!" Yelled Dragonissa Erelle from the garden.
"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yelled a voice from one of the open upstairs windows. It was the fourth house mate, Freja Mjollnir. "You can't kill the poor ants! They're just trying to protect their home! And it's invertebrates. Vertebrates are animals that have backbones, such as yourself!"
"I don't give a rats arse about what they're called. They're red ant's. They sting!"
"Look," said Blaise, acting the peacemaker, "we'll buy some powder later on. No arguments, Freja, imagine what would happen if they got into the house and into the sugar, you'd have to have unsweeted tea in the morning. Just try to work Nissa." The girl grumbled but got on with her task and Freja went back to painting the upstairs bedroom.
"Well done, Blaise." Orc Noodle Girl told her best friend.
"Thanks Noodles. Odd, usually it's me who's arguing."
"True, true." Noodles mused. There was a knock at the door. "I'll get it." She said, grateful to get away from picking dirt out of gaps between the tiles.
She opened the door to be greeted by a tall, red haired youth. "Hiya Ron." The boy known as Ron grinned.
"'Lo Noodles. Brought round the animals." He gestured to the pet carrying cases on the floor.
"Hey, thanks Ron!" Ron was about two or three years younger than the new house mates, who had been in the same year at school. He was an old friend of Nissa's from when she used to do Judo. He had earned his nickname from his freckles and orange hair. While the girls had been moving their stuff into their first house Ron had agreed to look after their pets for a while. As it was high summer, most of their relations were on holiday. Also, Ron lived quite near, in one of the student houses just across the green.
The four friends were fresh out of university and had decided to set up house together for the first time. It was a lovely old house, despite the decoration, which was rather, er, disco. But they were slowly fixing that. With the aid of Nissa's large, extended family (which was made up mainly of tall, dark haired young men (well, they were men most of the time). Needless to say, Blaise didn't get much work done when they were over.) (A/N: And this is very true, about my family. Lots of tall, dark, strong men. Aren't I lucky. :-P) and her grandfather, who was a carpenter, they had got the house shaped up in record time. All that need seeing to now was the master bedroom, which was being taken care by Freja and Blaise The kitchen, grudgingly done by Noodles. And the garden, seen to by Nissa, who was the only person brave enough to tackle the over grown mass of bushes, trees and grass.
"Thanks for looking after them Ron." Said Nissa, covered in soil, ants and leaves. "I think the only way we're gonna get that grass under control is if we get a goat or something, it don't look like it's been cut for the last fifty years!"
"That bad, huh?" Asked Ron sympathetically, as he helped the to girls bring the pets in.
"Nope, it's worse." Nissa told him morosely.
"Are you gonna have to cancel your housewarming party then?" Ron asked her anxiously. The girls had been planing to have a barbecue in a weeks time.
"Shouldn't think so. If everyone," she shot Noodles a meaningful look, "helps, we should have the garden done up in time." They were interrupted by a scream from upstairs.
"PIEWACKET!" Blaise slid down the banister and pulled out her small kitten out of it's box.
Ron scoffed, "What kind of name is 'Piewacket' for a cat anyway?"
"Believe me," Nissa told him with one raised eyebrow, "I've asked her that how many times."
"Well, it's a lot more original that 'Moggie' or 'Tiger'." Said Freja, coming down the stairs. She went over to her boxes and said hello to her own cat, Gizmo and her two guinea pigs.
"Yeah, well, it's like that 'Mrs. Kitty Fantastic' from Buffy." Nissa argued.
"Well, they were two lemon witches, they were bound to have a twisted cat." Noodles told the world in general.
"Oh, all right then. The damn feline's already been named so I suppose it doesn't matter. See you next Friday then."
"Okay, see you then." Ron gave a mock bow and left.
"Well, I suppose I'd better get back to work then," Said Nissa, while her friends unpacked the domestic wildlife. "You know, once we get that garden all cleared up, it'll look really nice. There's roses and honeysuckle and everything. I think we have a cherry tree to." And with that, Nissa headed back outside.
Yes I know no Lord of the Rings action yet, so don't yell at me! We're not going to get to that until chapter four so that's why I didn't post it until I had finished chapter four. Okay. Your gonna have to read chapters three and four if you want to know what's going on, i'm afraid. So, umm, on to chapter two.
Not sure if this has been done before but i'm doing it now. Me and my friends (well my original characters based on me and my friends) are all grown up and have just moved into our first house together. But something is amiss.
