Chapter one: The ring is mine!!!

The day the conflict began was a particularly gloomy day. The sun was behind a thick layer of gray clouds, causing the sky to be that annoying bright gray that can give one a giant headache. The air was a sickly damn and the cold temperature seemed to exaggerate the negative feeling this kind of weather can give off. The fellowship was certainly feeling the effects of this weather. The hobbits were not in their usual high spirits and were very silent. All of the members of the fellowship felt it was right to remain silent. Earlier that day Legolas had made a comment about the stick up Boromir's butt must have a stick up its butt. Boromir snapped and shouted himself hoarse at Legolas not to mention said rather mean things about anyone who tried to jump in. so as a result of Boromir's little hissy fit the fellowship now walked in silence. With Gandalf leading the way, the hobbits behind him, Boromir in the middle, Gimli and Legolas next and Aragorn brining up the rear. All of them standing an almost awkward distance away from Boromir.

Suddenly Legolas's head snapped to the left and looked toward a patch of bushes about 100 feet away from them.

"What is it lad?" Gimli asked him.

"I thought I heard something." Legolas said looking intently at the bushes.

"What's the hold up now?!" Boromir barked, "I'm getting really sick of these constant distractions."

"Legolas says he heard something," Aragorn said.

"But I didn't hear anything," Boromir said.

"You caught me boromir," Legolas said. "I'm just pretending to hear thing strictly to annoy you."

The others sniggered and Boromir glared at Legolas. Suddenly the bushes ruffled again, and this time the whole fellowship heard it. They all went over for a closer look; Aragorn went over to the bushes and looked inside them. As he opened up the bushes Gollum leapt out on top of him, and tried to jump at Frodo. But before he could tackle Frodo to the ground Gimli intercepted him and with Legolas's help pinned him to the ground.

"Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do we owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit? " Legolas said sarcastically.

"The ring is mine and I wants it back," Gollum snarled as he fought against Legolas and Gimli.

"Now really Gollum this is getting out of hand," Gandalf said. "There's got to be a way to prove that the ring isn't yours."

"IT'S MY PRECIOUS!" Gollum yelled.

"If we could prove that the ring wasn't yours would you back off?" Gandalf said calmly.

"Yes I suppose," Gollum said, "for a while anyway" he thought.

"But how can we prove that the ring isn't his?" Sam asked.

"I know," Legolas piped in, "we could go to the Maury show."

"Good idea lad, does that sound good to you Gollum?" Gimli asked.

"Yes Gollum likes."
