Lord of the Rings: Middle Earth High

Summary: Merry and Pippin troublemakers, Aragorn and Arwen going to the prom, Legolas, Faramir and Éowyn in drama club, Boromir and Éomer football players, and Gandalf a science teacher? It's Middle Earth High, of course!

Disclaimer: No, sadly I don't own LOTR or any characters. Too bad...

Chapter 1- Food Fight!

"FOOD FIGHT!" Pippin yelled as he flung a spoonful of chili at his best friend Merry, who just barely avoided the makeshift missile by ducking. Almost instantly the shot was followed as Pippin was hit in the chest with a piece of overcooked broccoli. "Hey!" he yelled. "Who threw that?"

"Over here, Pip!" Merry yelled back, waving.

"Come back here!" he shouted, and jumped off the table on which he was standing and began to chase Merry all around the cafeteria.

Meanwhile, Legolas, Aragorn, Elladan, Elrohir, Éomer, Boromir, and Faramir were all busy trying to dodge the food being hurled around the cafeteria. "When I get my hands on Merry and Pippin," Legolas said, dodging food as he spoke, "they'll be dead meat!" Just as he finished his sentence, he saw Merry duck. He wasn't quick enough to avoid the flying chili, and got a spoonful of it right on his jacket. "Who- PIPPIN!" he yelled. "You little... Come back here!"

"Go get 'em, Legolas!" Aragorn yelled, laughing at the funny sight along with the five others; Pippin chasing Merry, and a tall Legolas chasing a small, vertically-challenged Pippin.

"Faramir, what are you doing?" Boromir asked his brother, who was scooping up a spoonful of mashed potatoes and preparing to fire it.

"Ah, just getting in the spirit of things," Faramir said as he looked for a target.

"Mr. Gandalf's gonna kill you if he comes in here and sees..." Boromir reasoned.

"Well, I suppose that's a risk I'm gonna have to take." he replied. Faramir smiled as he spotted Sam Gamgee with his back turned. "The perfect target," he said. "Ready, aim, and fire!"

Arwen and Éowyn were doing their best to stay neutral in the fight. Hiding under a table, they tried to avoid the chaos. "If I get my new jeans dirty," Arwen said over all the noise, "My mom's gonna kill me!" After saying this, as if perfectly timed, a glop of macaroni and cheese landed just inches from the girls' feet.

"Okay," Éowyn said as if going into battle, "I'm going in, so I can find a way out."

"Me too," Arwen said. "Can't stay under a table forever."

And so, hand in hand, the brave and courageous girls got up and greeted the battle of food head on. Bad idea. Almost immediately Éowyn saw Faramir fling a poorly-aimed spoonful of potatoes at Sam Gamgee's back, and the missed taters landed on her instead. "Aiiiiiii! FARAMIR!" she yelled and stormed over to him, Arwen close behind.

"Or risk getting your girlfriend mad," Boromir said to his brother. "Smooth move."

"Shut up, Boromir." Faramir said as he braced himself to face the storm heading toward him.

"Faramir!" she yelled. "My blouse! You got it dirty! Covered in potatoes no less!"

"Geez, sorry." Faramir said. "I was aiming for Sam."

"Yeah, sis, calm down." Éomer said.

Éowyn smiled. "Oh, don't worry; that's okay." she said, hugging Faramir.

"I knew you'd forgive me." he said.

"Gotcha!" Éowyn yelled as she pulled away, leaving Faramir covered in potatoes. "See ya, bye!" With that she strode off back to the hiding place, leaving him speechless.

"Once again, smooth move." Boromir said, having a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

"Once again, shut up." Faramir replied with an angry glare.

As Faramir had been riding out the storm with Éowyn, Arwen was doing the same with her brothers. "Come on, my sister!" Elladan said.

"Yeah, Arwen, you are such a fun spoiler!" Elrohir, Elladan's twin brother complained.

"No, I just don't want Mom to kill me, like Dad will you if I tell him what you're doing!"

Arwen yelled.

"You wouldn't dare." Elrohir said.

"Oh, yes I would." Arwen said, hands on her hips.

"Tattletale!" Elladan yelled.

"Jerk!"

"Fun spoiler!"

"Idiot!"

"Don't make me use this." Elladan warned, holding up a spoon filled with mashed potatoes.

"You wouldn't dare." Arwen said.

"Oh, yes I would!" Elladan said, mimicking her sister from before. Arwen, at a loss for words, just stuck out her tongue.

"Arwen, we are so insulted." Elrohir said.

"Yep. Don't say we didn't warn you." Elladan said. And with that he pulled the mashed potato trigger, and the missile landed right smack in the middle of Arwen's forehead.

"I am going to kill you!" she yelled. "No, actually," she said, rethinking her plan, "I'll leave that to Dad when we get home." And then she left to rejoin Éowyn at their hiding place.

"I think I would've liked it better if she'd killed us, brother." Elladan said as she left.

Mr. Gandalf entered the cafeteria and was greeted by a horrific sight; food flying everywhere, screaming students, and students chasing students around. A glob of spinach just barely missed his head. As he dodged it, he discovered the two culprits behind the whole scene, running about the cafeteria. Merry and Pippin, he thought.

Legolas stopped in his tracks just as he got on Pippin's heels, seeing Mr. Gandalf straight in front of him. Pippin, not noticing, looked back, still running, and yelled, "Ha ha Legolas! Looks like I- ahh!" Pippin, not watching where he was going, managed to slip on a puddle of spilled milk. He went sliding across the floor, and landed just next to Merry at Mr. Grey's feet, with the whole cafeteria crowd watching nonetheless. All became silent. "Ooops. I guess we're in trouble, huh?" Pippin asked as he looked up at Mr. Gandalf.

"Indeed. You two, come with me." he told them. "And the rest of you," he said, referring to the other students in the cafeteria, grab a mop and get this place cleaned up immediately!" And with that he strode off, Merry and Pippin expected to follow.

"At least we don't have to clean up, Pip." Merry whispered as they scurried out the door.

Legolas returned to the group as Éowyn and Arwen came back from their hiding place under the table. "Looks like Pippin never learned the expression 'Pride goes before a fall,'" he said.

"Looks like you've just learned not to wear a brand new jacket to the cafeteria when Merry and Pippin are there," said Aragorn, laughing at the chili-stained jacket.

"Oh, shut up." Legolas said, grabbing some of the remaining chili from his jacket and smearing it on Aragorn's shirt. "There, we match." The group laughed, and then went to retrieve their mops to clean up.

A/N: Ta-da! And that is my very first chapter of "Middle Earth High." I tried to include most characters, but don't worry; there will be some more of our favorite hobbits in the next chapter. Oh by the way, I put all the characters in the same grade, even though the ages are really so far apart, but that's the way it would make the most sense. Hope everyone liked it! Please review!
