The Lord of the Rings: The Next Generation

A/N: I'd just like to say that we don't own a thing (mores the pity) and
that this story is seriously SERIOUSLY out of canon but it's extremely
funny (we hope). Besides, if Peter Jackson can go out of canon so can we.
Here goes nothing.

The Introduction (This involves jumping around Middle Earth Quite a lot, so
bear with us)

It was Midsummer's Day in Hobbiton, and Sam was having a wonderfully
relaxing day. He wasn't at work for the afternoon, the sun was shining, and
Rosie had said that she would look after the kids for a while.

Rosie wished that she had never agreed to it.

She not only had Frodo and Elanor to look after, but Faramir and Théoden
were also at Bag End, and they were all playing hide and seek extremely
loudly.

"Hah! Found you Frodo!"

"You'll have to catch me first!"

"That's not fair you know you're faster than me!"

"Ha ha! But he's not faster that me!"

"Théoden! You're not involved!"

At that moment, Merry and Pippin walked through the door, and Rosie sighed
with relief.

There was an immediate cry of "DAD!" from the back room, and the two young
hobbits came rushing out and jumped into their father's arms.

Merry called into the hallway. "Thanks Rosie, you're a life saver!" he exclaimed, and left with young Théoden under his right arm, followed by a very excited Faramir
now sitting on Pippin's shoulders.

Peace momentarily returned to Bag End, before Frodo and Elanor started up a
new game of 'tig'. Rosie longed for evening so she could finally put them to
sleep.


(Meanwhile, down South.)

Aragorn sat watching his son proudly. Perhaps he would not have been quite
so proud of Eldarion if he knew that Samwise Gamgee now had two children,
but as it was, he wasn't aware that he had any, so he was content to know
that he now had a healthy heir to the throne as well as winning his bet with
Master Samwise. Nothing in the whole of Middle Earth could possibly upset
him now.

The door opened, and Legolas and Gimli walked in.

"Blast," he muttered to himself.

The pair of misfits waved to Eldarion as they passed him, and approached
Aragorn's throne.

"Aragorn! How are you?" Gimli said heartily

"Fine. Until you showed up."

Legolas looked ecstatically happy. "Guess what? We have some simply
fantastic news!"

"That is something new."

"Oh, Aragorn, you're so sour!" the elf said in a very falsely dignified
voice. "No, really, this time it really is fantastic!"

"May I introduce…" Gimli announced smugly as the throne room doors opened
again, " Narvi and Celebrimbor!"

Aragorn saw the two figures (each their father's spitting image, except that
Narvi's beard wasn't as long as Gimli's, and Celebrimbor's hair wasn't quite
the same blond as Legolas') come through the door, smiled in a bemused sort
of way, and fainted.

Ta da! I know it's not very exciting, but we had to introduce you all to the
characters. Hopefully you're not all asleep. If you are, WAKE UP! And now go
review it, because if you don't like it we'll still write more chapters, so… hah. Have fun!
