Disclaimer: I do not own nor do I profit from any of these Lord of the Rings Characters. It all belongs to Tolkien, and Peter Jackson and all those wonderful people out there.

a/n – this is my first fanfic that I have ever uploaded. I've written lots but I've never thought to actually put one out there. With this fic I was just playing around and having fun – it actually started with a dream. Yes I admit I have an extreme addiction to LOTR.

Chapter 1 – The Curse of the DVD Player

"Come on Rae turn it on. Me wanna watch." I said jumping up and down on my bed.

"Okay, Bry just sit down before you break your bed." Rae said turning to face me, and I flopped onto the bed. Rae turned back around busy with the DVD player.

"Hey Bry?" she said turning it on.

"Yeah."

"Where's Liv and Cass?"

"Popping popcorn, getting drinks, candy you know the essentials for watching Lord of the Rings."

"Sweet." She said. "Ahh here we go. I swear Bry your DVD player is so complicated."

"I told you that is why my parents gave it to me for Christmas, because they knew it was complicated and they know how slow I can be sometimes so they gave me one that they knew I couldn't figure out." I paused "My parents know a lot of stuff don't the?"

"I'll say. So which one are we watching, Fellowship or Two Towers?" She said sitting down on the floor in front of my bed.

"How about, Return of the King?"

"Bry, sweetheart that's still in theaters."

"I know, so how about we sneak out of the house and go see it, I mean the movie theater is like 5 minutes away from my house. We could walk except there's a freeway."

"I know which is why I love coming to your house so much. We can drive to the movie theater if we wanted to, you forgot that Liv is with us, and she has her license."

"Oh jeez. I can't believe I forgot. It must be my short term memory you know. It runs in my family…..at least I think it does…..hmmm…"

"Where are they?" Cass says jumping into the room.

We all burst out laughing.

"You guys have got to stop, its getting old you know, it's becoming dangerous to say stuff like that in public, and someone might think you're crazy." Rae says smiling at us.

"Ahhh. But the closer they are to danger the farther they are from harm." Liv said coming into the room carrying a tray full of goodies.

"Okay guys seriously we got to stop." Rae says "Me wanna watch movie to."

"One more, one more." I turn to Cass and we say together "Movie and reality together, like the ham and the cheese together, like me and Dom together, but not like that." We say bursting into laughter.

"Okay guys lets watch the movie, enough folderol out of you two." Liv said setting the tray on the floor and sitting next Rae.

"Oh Liv used big vocab word, I think Dr. Bradley is getting to your head, Livvy." Cass said sitting on the bed next to me.

"Well if it is at least she'll get into A.P. English next year." Rae said pointedly

"People, people enough talk about school, we came here to watch LOTR not discuss the influence of Dr. Bradley on the lives of 16 year old girls." I say

"Hey some of us are 17, not all of our birthdays are in the summer like yours Bry." Rae said.

Everyone laughed. "Okay, Okay. I'm about to press play, so if you guys want to get the food without interrupting the movie you better come sit down here." Rae said going up to the DVD player.

"This would be so much simpler if my sister hadn't destroyed the remote." I said as Cass and I got off my bed and sat on the floor.

"Yeah, what did she do to it again?" Liv asked me.

"She stole it, and then dropped it over the stair rail and onto the tile floor, in front of the front door. Hmmmm that rhymes."

"I have to say Bry but your little sister is a big biii..." Cass started to say but was interrupted by Rae.

"Bry what the hell is wrong with your DVD?" Rae said.

"What do you mean what's wrong with it, nothings wrong with it." I said crawling over to the DVD and Rae.

"It wont friggin go to the beginning, it's determined to stay at Elrond's council."

"No way." Said Cass coming over with Liv. "It has to start at the beginning; the hobbits are in the beginning."

"And if it's at the council, we miss Legolas' entrance which is a very bad thing." said Liv.

"Um, yeah and then we miss the whole Strider part." Rae said

"Ya'll can we stop complaining about the parts we missed and try to fix the DVD?" I said

They all groaned and turned to help me. Casstine being the girl she is immediately found the big red button that said input.

"Hey guys what does this button do?" She said.

The three of us being preoccupied with trying to fix the DVD player just didn't pay attention to what she said.

"Push it and find out, then come over here and help us." Rae said.

"Okay then." Cass said and she pushed the button.

To late, I turned around and said "Casstine NO!"

All of sudden the room started to shake. "What the hell is going on?" Rae shouted.

"I don't know, it must be an earthquake." Cass yelled back.

"Baka!" I yell at her.

"There are no earthquakes in Texas!" Liv said.

The last thing I remember is something dropping onto my head and me blacking out.

"Bry wake up."

I hear my mom call me. "Just one more minute mommy, no 30 minutes, and I'll get up, it's only 4:30." I say turning over, except I turned on to nothing and fell. "AHHH!"

I was fully awake now, and in pain which is not a good combination for a person like me, especially when people are laughing at you.

"Fucking shit. Damn it all to hell." I say rubbing my back.

"Bry must censor language, and I'm not your mother." I turn around to see Rae, Cass and Liv and this round stone thing, which I apparently fell off of.

They look at me, and then freak out.

"Ummmm Bry, you, you.." Liv starts to say.

"I what? Liv just say it, and by they way where are we? Because I know I have no big…stone…pillars…" I turn around to see the council of Elrond staring at us like we're crazy. "in….my..room. Heh!" I say. "Guys why didn't you tell me we were here? I mean this is a dream right, and you guys are a figments of my subconscious mind, right?"

"No we aren't figments of your subconscious mind, and no we are not dreaming, Rae already proved that to me." Cass said glaring at Rae.

"Hey! It was the only way to be sure."

"Why couldn't you have hit yourself then?" Cass said annoyed

"Guys, your forgetting something very important." I say.

"What?" They both say turning to look at me, well at my back really because I'm facing the council right now.

"The fact that we are here in this fucking world, or the fact that we are fucking Mary-Sues, or the fact I just fell off a stone pillar thing and in very major pain, or that Frodo over there looks like he is about to attack my head." I yell at them.

"Bry!" Cass, Liv, and Rae yell.

"What!" I turn to face them.

"You forget that they don't know that we know about them and you, well you…." Rae said looking at my forehead.

"Rae! Earth to Raelyn!" I look at Liv and Cass who are also staring at my forehead. "Hello! Guys you're really freaking me out, answer me!"

"Bry.." Cass starts to say pointing her finger at my forehead.

"What do I have something there?" I say brushing my hands against my forehead.

Suddenly something fell into my lap; I looked down into my skirt which I didn't change out off when we got home from school. A ring was in my lap.

I pick it up. "Oh come on guys its just some darn old ring." I pause "Ring? Oh My God it's the Ring!"

I stand up and drop it and start running around in circles around the stone pillar thing "Oh My God the Ring was on my forehead. The bloody Ring was on my forehead." I say running and running around.

"Bry." Rae starts to say, but I run past her. "Bry." She says again, and I run past her a second time. "BRYN!" I stop and look at her, and run and grab her by the shoulders.

"Rae did you see? The Ring was on my forehead! The Ring touched me Raelyn, it touched me." I said as I began to shake her.

Liv immediately jumped of the round pillar thing and grabbed my arms.

"Now Bry sweetie, we have to calm down now, okay the Ring isn't on you any more. We have bigger problems to deal with." She said pointing to Frodo who picked up the ring, and then looked at us strangely, in the background I could hear Cass sigh in contentment.

Obviously Rae heard it to, because after recovering from the shaking I gave her she rushed over to Cass.

"Uhuh. No way in hell. Don't even think about it, I for one am not becoming a Mary-Sue." Said Rae.

"But Rae he's there, and I'm here, and we could both be here and there together." Cass said dreamily, making no sense whatsoever.

Liv let go of me and rushed over to Cass and Rae.

"Listen Cass I know how tempting it may be but we can't alright. We just can't, got it?" she said.

Seeing as the other two weren't going to relent, Cass sighed and said, well murmured is more like it: "I got it."

Meanwhile Lord Elrond stood up with Gandalf and started to walk over to us, the other three didn't notice though. Rae and Liv were still busy trying to make sure Cass wouldn't do anything.

"Ummm Guys." I said, still looking at Elrond and Gandalf who stood in front of me, waiting for me to get the others attention.

"You have to promise Cass. Otherwise Rae won't believe you." Liv said.

"What!" Rae asked turning to Liv, who jabbed her in the ribs, "Ohh. Yeah, um right, promise or we won't believe you."

"Ya'll." I yell back at them.

"Alright I promise." Cass sighs

"DORKS!" I yell at them

"WHAT?" They all yell

"Little problem here." I say pointing to Elrond and Gandalf "I think they want to talk to us."

"That is our wish, if you would so allow us." Elrond said.
