Opia: Hey everyone. This story is another collaborate work with Josco. We both love this one dearly and work on it whenever possible, but there was one problem when we thought about putting it up on this site... it was in script format... So we both basicly gave up on that idea and wrote it for our pleasure solely. Then I found the fanfic Lord of the Rings: SSBM Style! (go read it if you like Super Smash Bros Melee, it's really funny), it inspired me to try and type up the story normally. It was quite a job but I finally finished a draft and ran it by Josco for her opinion. She found it satisfactory and that is why I'm putting this story up. It's very lighthearted, much of it done when we were sleeping over at another's house and had way too much sugar. My friends and I are the hobbits (and a few other random things, but you'll get to that eventually). I am Shannon, and Josco is Janine. I was too lazy to change any names to usernames and such so all of the names are real people. The rest of the characters are various anime characters from Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rorouni Kenshin, and a scattered bunch of other characters from different shows. Those were the three main ones because they were the shows I watched the most when I began this (yes, I am the one who first thought up the idea). Josco doesn't watch nearly as much anime as I do. Wow! I'm ranting! Okay, I'll get to the story now...
Cari: Opia does not own any anime, she wishes she did, but she doesn't. She also doesn't own anything else in this, not even her friends.
Opia: Warning! Everyone will be OOC at one point or another (most of the time actually)!
"Play"
Shannon ran around her room franticly. A clipboard full of paper was in her hand, she occasionally wrote a word or two on it. Hearing the ruckus, her muses Cari and Sara opened the door. "What are you doing?" Cari asked her master.
Shannon looked up at the both of them, surprised. "I'm casting a play/movie/story… thing…" Sara stared at her blankly.
"What's it called?" Cari asked.
"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring."
"Wow, really?!"
"Yeah, and I'm adding my friends in here as well." Shannon smiled at her muse's enthusiasm.
"Cool." Cari looked to Sara, who still wasn't paying any attention. She shook her head and turned back to Shannon. "Who's in it?"
"So far it goes like this…" She showed her muse what was on the clipboard.
Frodo – Jordan
Samwise – Caitlyn
Merry – Shannon
Pippin – Janine
Cari looked over this list thoughtfully. "Do you have enough friends to fill all the parts?"
Shannon shook her head. "Not enough well known by me and Janine."
Sara gasped, finally understanding the conversation. "Then how will you cast it??"
"With some help." Shannon showed them another list.
Aragorn – Yami
Gimli – Bakura (Yami Bakura)
Legolas – Kenshin
Boromir – Seto
Gandalf – Kurama
Saruman – Hiei
Elrond – Sanosuke
Cari raised an eyebrow at this list. Sara smiled. "Good casting." She said, "Except for Elrond… Why'd you pick Sanosuke?"
"He was the only one I could think of. I'll change it later if need be…"
Cari continued to analyze the list. "Um… Who's going to be Gollum, Bilbo, Galadriel, Arwen, the Ring Wraiths, Sauron, and the Uru Kai leader dude?"
Shannon blinked. "Um… Er…" She grabbed another piece of paper and scribbled down another list. "Here, heh heh." Taking it off the clipboard, she gave it to Cari.
Gollum – Yahiko
Bilbo – Ryou or Yugi
Galadriel – Mai
Arwen – Kaoru
Ring Wraiths – Random tall people
Sauron – A giant flaming eye
Uruk-Hai Leader Dude – Joey or Tristan or Yusuke or Malik or Marik
Seeing the end of the list, Cari said. "I vote Marik."
Sara nodded. "Me too, he's cool. Hmm…. Kaoru and Yami… weird…" She thought aloud.
Shannon snatched back the list. "It's not that bad is it?" The muses started to nod. "Don't answer that! It's good enough!!"
Cari smirked. "Suuuuure…."
The writer pushed up her glasses. "Anyway, time to send these off!" She grabbed a pile of invitations from off her desk and ran outside to put them in her mailbox. Finishing that, she bounced back in with a goofy grin on her face.
Her muses sweatdropped. "Hey! Are we helping at all in this?" Cari asked.
Shannon nodded. "You guys and Janine's muses can choose parts that you think you can play better. Or… Putting it more clearly, you can choose from Elrond in the second list, to all the characters in the third list except Mai and Marik's parts. Or you can be directors!"
"Hmm…" Cari thought about this. "We need to get a hold of Kit and Liacos. This might end in rock, paper, scissors!" Caught in the moment, Cari struck a dramatic pose.
Shaking her head, Shannon turned to the computer monitor. "Ever noticed rock, paper, scissors is played a lot in animes? Well…" She shrugged. "At least in the ones I watch…."
Cari froze. "Erk! Eh heh." Embarrassed, she blushed and ran out of the spotlight.
Sara turned to Shannon. "Do you think anyone will come?"
Shannon lay down on her bed. "We'll find out tomorrow…" She fell asleep.
The two muses looked at each other and shrugged. "Might as well." They both took out pillows and fell straight asleep.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Yugi Motou walked in from getting the mail. "Hey Yami! We got a letter from someone called Shannon!"
The pharaoh looked at the boy. "Let me see." He took the letter out of Yugi's hand and opened it.
Dear Yami and Yugi,
You are both invited to participate in a story/play/movie reenactment of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I have already casted parts. Yami… you will play Aragorn. Yugi… well… your part has yet to be decided, but if you don't get a role you can help with the cameras or something. A gathering of cast will be tomorrow at my place. Please come even if you don't want to participate, it will be appreciated. My address is on the envelope. I look forward to seeing you both there.
Yours truly,
Shannon
Yugi looked at his dark. "She seems nice. Are we going?"
Yami shrugged. "Why not, it sounds interesting. Besides, I've always wanted to be Aragorn."
"That's really neat." The phone rang. "I'll get it!" Yugi picked up the phone. "Hello?"
Ryou was on the other end. "Yugi? Hey did you guys get a letter from some girl named Shannon?"
"Yeah. We just read it."
"Well, Bakura and I got one too. My part isn't decided yet."
Yugi grinned. "Neither is mine. But Yami gets to be Aragorn!"
Ryou laughed cheerfully. "That's neat. Bakura gets to be…" He lowered his voice so only Yugi could hear.
Yugi gasped. "Gimli!!" Upon hearing that, Yami began to laugh hysterically.
"STUPID PHARAOH!!!" Yugi heard Bakura shout in the background. Him and Ryou sighed at the antics of their yamis.
"Anyway," Ryou began, "I take it you're going."
"Yeah." Yugi replied.
"See you there then."
"Bye." The boys hung up.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Walking around the Dojo, Sanosuke found a letter on the ground. He picked it up. "Hey everyone," He yelled, "I found something!" Hearing his voice, the rest of the Dojo's residents gathered around.
Dear everyone at the Dojo,
Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko, and Sano are all invited to participate in a story/movie/play reenactment of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I have already casted parts: Kenshin… you will be playing the part of Legolas, the elven prince. Kaoru… you may be playing the part of Arwen, daughter of Elrond. Yahiko's part is yet to be decided (I'm thinking Gollum). Sano, you might be Elrond, just wait and see. There will be a cast meeting tomorrow at my place. Please come! My address is on the envelope if you need it.
Thanks,
Shannon
"Gollum?!?!" Yahiko growled.
Kaoru laughed, "Fits you just fine!"
"This sounds interesting, that it sure does!" Kenshin said.
"That's because you're going to be Legolas." Grumbled Yahiko.
Sanosuke sighed, "Whatever… are we going?"
"Sure!" Kaoru exclaimed.
Kenshin nodded, "If it's fine with Miss Kaoru."
"Great…" Muttered Yahiko.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Kurama looked through a pile of mail. "Hiei! Yusuke! Would you two mind coming here for a moment?" The two boys walked in.
"Hn?" Asked Hiei.
"Yeah, what?" Asked Yusuke.
"There's a letter here for the three of us." Kurama replied.
Dear Kurama, Hiei and Yusuke,
You are all invited to a play/story/movie reenactment of The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. I have already casted parts: Kurama… you will be the wise wizard Gandalf. Hiei, you shall be Gandalf's old friend, now enemy Saruman. Yusuke… you're part is still being debated. There will be a cast meeting tomorrow at my house. The address is on the envelope. Coming will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Shannon Woerner
"Ooookay… so?" Yusuke asked.
"This sounds like it would be a pleasurable experience." Said Kurama.
"Let's go." Hiei said as he began to walk out of the room.
Kurama and Yusuke look at him for a moment, surprised that Hiei of all people actually wanted to go. Yusuke blinked, "Well, you heard the little man!" Hiei glared at him, "Let's go!!!" Yusuke posed dramatically. Kurama shook his head and left the room with Hiei following. Suddenly Yusuke noticed he was alone and ran after the other two. "H-hey! Wait for me!"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Kit jumped on the bed, waking Liacos, and waved a paper in front of her nose. "Looky, looky, looky!"
Liacos angrily slapped Kit for waking her up, Kit slaps her back. "Whadya want?!"
"We get to help Shannon and Janine in a story/play/movie reenactment of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Although you get to help a little more, I get to help with the set!"
"Hmphf. How do you know that?" Liacos grumbled. Kit shoved the letter in her face. "Mhmhm…" She read it over, "Cool, now will you let me go back to sleep please?"
"Sure, but are we going?"
"Ask Janine! Now go away!" Liacos covered her head with the blankets.
Kit stuck her tongue out at Liacos, and then skipped off to find Janine. "Hey Janine!!!!"
Janine slapped Kit from waking her up from her nap on the couch. "Whadya want?!"
"You sound just like Lia did when I woke her up. Anyway, I wanted to know if we're going to Shannon's thing tomorrow too."
"DUH! OF COURSE WE'RE GOING! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"Man, everybody's cranky, all they do is sleep and sleep some more…." As she left she passed a part of the wall with a clock on it. The clock read 12:01am.
Opia: I tried to keep it as close to the origonal thing as possible, so there is nothing (or almost nothing) more than what was written in script format. Will we actually get to anything that resembles The Lord of the Rings? Eventually.
Cari: In chapter 3 of course!
Opia: Hope to see you there! (Okay, not see exactly... whatever) Please R&R!
