Disclaimers: All canon material from The Lord of the Rings trilogy belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien, New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers and Turbine. All canon material from the television show "Once Upon a Time" or OUAT and its spin-off "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" or OUATiW belongs to ABC. All other canon material belongs to their respected owners. All original material, including any alterations done within the story, belongs to the author of this fanfiction drabble series. All prompts belong to me.

Warning: Readers beware! If you have not watched OUAT and OUATiW, please do so before reading. Otherwise, prepare to be spoiled. Those that have seen both OUAT and OUATiW, enjoy. :)

I remember when this idea sparked, which was actually when I worked on my spin-off fanfic Strong Intentions in Luster. Now that I'm glad that's done and out of the way, this drabble series is actually something fun I wanted to work on, and it won't take me as many days to write and proofread drabbles as it takes to work on longer stories. While some drabbles may be independent of each other, mainly these drabbles run together, weaving their own storyline into the mix. With that said, I bring you the Bonus Version of Strong Intentions: it's a different story to my original Strong Intentions, but still follows OUAT and OUATiW. :)

1) Prologue

Word Count: 289

For Frodo, mornings involved getting out of bed, eating a good breakfast, going on a morning walk and returning to Bag End's study to work on jotting down the events that occurred on his quest into a red journal. What he didn't expect to see was a big black box, standing on top of the parlor table. Whatever this contraption did... well, he wasn't sure what it did. There wasn't anything attached to the box. How strange, and how did he know this box connected to anything?

On a smaller black box were an assortment of thinner boxes, with images of princesses and people wearing strange clothes. He wondered who they were. His gaze fell on the same title that was on all the boxes: Once Upon a Time.

"I wonder..." He didn't have to wonder long, for he pressed the O button with the line struck through it. It turned on the black box - how was it called a television? He didn't know. The thought just came to him. Anyway, the television and the smaller box - was it called a DVD player. This was all very confusing, and yet he accepted it. Getting back to track, Frodo pressed another button, this time the DVD player, which flipped open a place to put in CDs and DVDs.

All right, how did he know all these letters?

Opening the first box, Frodo pulled out the DVD and put it in the DVD player's drive. The drive closed, and with it the television revealed a menu screen and broken fairytale music. Picking up the DVD remote, he pressed the arrows and the OK button. The first season's episode began to play, revealing the first sentence: Once Upon a Time.

I know, I am doing this drabbles alongside the 100 Drabble Challenge. But these drabbles are NOT part of NirCele's Drabble Challenge, given that these prompts are ones I created, specifically for this series. Anyway, I hope everyone liked this first drabble and are looking forward to the next. And yes, these drabbles are going in the OUAT show order.
