So this is my first ever story. I am a huge fan of Lord of the Rings and I'm finally writing my own FanFiction! Hope you like it.

"Are you guys ever going to get up?" Jessie complained.

"No!" The two lazy girls said in unison and then proceeded to pull their blankets back over their heads. The three best friends had had a sleepover at Jessie's house and had fallen asleep watching 'Into the Woods' that night.

"But you have to get up sometime."

"It's summer. No one has to do anything." Chloe replied with a groan.

"Fine then," Jessie said as she got up to go to the kitchen, "I'll just eat all of the leftover pizza myself."

"PIZZA!" That did it. Now it was a race to the kitchen. Jessie in the lead, from the head start, with Rayna and Chloe right on her heels. The next few seconds were a blur for Jessie, as Chloe tripped over her own feet and grabbed onto Jessie, pulling her down with her. "Ha!" Rayna said as she struck a triumphant pose and began humming 'We Are the Champions'.

The three girls had been best friends almost their whole lives. True they were all very different. Chloe was tall and thin with long blonde hair and also the youngest having just graduated high school. Jessie was a brunette. She was fit and average height. She and Rayna had just finished their first year of college. Rayna was the shorty of the group with short, dirty blonde hair. Chloe loved horses, Jessie loved art, and Rayna loved photography. But despite all their differences they were thick as thieves.

After the defeat/victory and pizza they decided to go wander in the woods behind Jessie's house. It didn't take them long to get into trouble either. They were walking along singing, Rayna was taking pictures of her friends and the scenery, and Jessie was walking across a log like it was no big deal, when Chloe thought she saw something. "Hey, what's that?"

"What's what?" Jessie asked, jumping off of the log.

"There's someone over there. Maybe their friendly!" Chloe exclaimed, darting off with Jessie right behind her.

"Sure we're in the middle of the woods. Let's just go chasing after some stranger. Totally safe." Rayna called sarcastically as she reluctantly chased after the other two.

"Keep up, Shorty!" Jessie called back to Rayna.

"Come on, I think they went this way." Chloe said impatiently. "Oh, never mind. I must have lost 'em."

Chloe turned around to see Jessie shaking her head. "You probably just saw a squirrel or something." Then they got quiet, looking around for Rayna.

"Where's Shorty?" Chloe asked. "To chicken for an adventure?"

"Umm... Chloe, where are we?" Jessie said as she looked at their unfamiliar surroundings.

Jessie's point of view

All of the trees had disappeared. We were no longer in the woods but instead we were in...

"A corn field?" Chloe said. "I didn't know there was a corn field behind your house."

"There isn't."

"Then where are we?"

"I have no idea." I answered.

"Oh." Chloe didn't seem too worried. Not surprising to me since she's always lost (at least in her mind) and is probably used to it. "Well, what do we do now?"

"Umm. I'd say finding Rayna would be most important right now." I said.

"True. But how are we supposed to see her in all of this corn? She's so short we may never find her!"

"Seriously Chloe? Seriously?" Chloe shrugged and we started to search for our friend. We decided to head back in the direction we came from but it seemed that we were nowhere near the woods or my neighborhood and our friend was nowhere to be seen.

"Rayna! Rayna!" Chloe called. "Where is that girl?" Then we heard someone running through the field.

"Rayna, is that you?" I said hopefully. But it most certainly was not Rayna. It was two children. No wait, not children. Short little men! The two of them had been running through the field, with their arms full of vegetables, but stopped when they saw us. None of us really knew what to do. So we just stood there studying each other until someone broke the silence, yelling something about cabbages. Then a very sharp gardening tool popped up out of the corn, heading towards us. It seemed threatening enough. A look of terror flashed across the little men's faces. "Run!" One of them said. We obliged.

We quickly followed the little men, since they seemed to know where they were going. Finally we got out of the corn field and came to a stop in a small town. And I mean a small town. Everything was little. Little people in little houses built into little hills.

"We're in Munchkin Land!" Chloe said excitedly. Oh dear. Whoever decided to lead us here, that was a BAD idea. You dropped us in a cute little town where everything is fun sized. Chloe is never going to leave!

"Actually miss, you're in The Shire," One of our little friends said. He had quite an accent. What was it? Irish? Scottish?

"The Shire?" Chloe asked.

"Aye! Just west of Bree." He answered.

"Bree? The Shire?" I gave Chloe a worried look. I had never heard of either of those places in my life.

"How rude of us. We haven't introduced ourselves." The short man said, completely disregarding our confusion. Well my confusion. Chloe didn't seem to mind. "My name is Meriadoc Brandybuck, but you can just call me Merry! And this is my cousin Peregrin Took."

"But everybody calls me Pippin!" The other said cheerily. He has an accent too.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Chloe and this is Jessie. Can I ask why you're so short?" That girls mind... I'll never understand it.

"Chloe! You can't just ask people why their short! It's rude."

"Actually," Pippin said, "I don't mind. We are short because we're Hobbits!" He seemed quite pleased. "But if you don't mind my askin', why are big folk such as yourselves in the Shire?"

"Well, we're looking for our friend. You haven't seen her?"

"I don't know Miss Chloe." Merry said.

"Well, even if you did, you probably wouldn't have noticed. She's short." At that I face-palmed myself and let out a sigh, shaking my head. "What?" She said innocently. Oh she knows what.

"Is she lost?" Pippin asked.

"Yeah, I guess so." Chloe said, trying to think back. "We were running through the woods and somehow ended up in that corn field that popped up outta nowhere. I guess Rayna didn't catch up."

"You came from the woods?" He didn't seem to understand.

"Yes we-"

"But the woods are miles from that field." Merry cut in. "You must have run very far."

"Actually no..." I said, turning to my friend. "Chloe, can I talk to you for a moment?" We both turned our backs to the Hobbits for a somewhat private conversation. "What's going on?" I said, trying to stay calm.

"I'm making new friends!" Chloe said happily.

"No. I mean what's going on, as in, OMG! What's going on? How did we get here? Where is here? What even is a Hobbit? And where is our friend?!"

"Oh, that... I was hoping you would know."

"Well, I don't and I have no idea what to do."

We turned around to the Hobbits, as they call themselves, who had, no doubt, heard our conversation. They looked at us curiously. "Is everything alright?" Merry asked.

"I'm not sure. You see, I think we're lost."

"Lost? Well perhaps a map would help you. We could take you to Mister Bilbo's. He's got all sorts of stuff like that! Would you like us to take you? It wouldn't be a problem." Pippin offered. Man he's hyper! I don't think he took a breath between any of his words.

"Sure!" Chloe said. "Sounds like fun!" Well at least she was enjoying herself. I have no idea what to think.
