Author's Note: This is a challenge fanfic. And to get the correct effect please read all of Gimli and Pippin's lines in a ridiculously stereotypical Scottish accent.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own any of these characters (though I am working on purchasing Dominic Monaghan from New Line), they are the property of Warner Bros. and New Line, respectively.

------The Challenge------

Fandom: Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings

Rating: any

Rules (in no order):

- There must be a love pentagon.

- Someone must tell a "So a hobbit walks into a bar" joke.

- Legolas must get a mohawk.

- The Fellowship must sing a cheesy Broadway song.

- Someone must mention/wear a French maid's uniform.

- Ron must discover the true meanings of condoms and snow.

- Dumbledore must reference Princess Leia from Star Wars, resulting in much confusion among non-Muggles.

------The Story------

(Pippin, Merry, Ron, Sam, Legolas, and Gimli are all sitting on the curb in front of a pub)

Ron: (grumbling angrily)

This author is so bias; I'm the only character from Harry Potter here. (looks up and shakes his fist) Damn you, you geeky Lord of the Rings fanatic!!!

Gimli: (brandishing his axe)

And just what is so geeky about being obsessed with Lord of the Rings?

Ron:

Erm...nothing...

Pippin:

Oh, come off it, you two! Don't you see that the author is purposely putting us here together because we are all subordinate characters? No offense everyone.

Merry:

None taken, you hunka hunka burnin' hobbit.

Pippin:

Merry, I told you to stop sneaking puffs from Aragorn's pipe!

(Merry smiles and looks very out of it, he and Pippin begin making-out)

Ron:

Anyway…what about Hermione? She's a sub-sub-subor-

Sam:

Subordinate.

Ron:

Yeah, she's a subordinate thingy too.

Merry: (pauses his make-out session for the moment)

Honestly, you humans are so daft. Would Hermioninnie really be in a pub?

(at that moment Hermione walks out of the pub behind them and makes a hasty exit, stage left; the characters, who most likely are stoned/drunk out of the bejesus, don't notice)

Ron:

It's Hermione.

Merry: (mockingly)

Sorry, didn't mean to insult your girlfriend.

Ron: (turns red)

She's not my girlfriend.

Merry:

Well…if you're single!

(Merry edges closer to Ron and tries that yawn and your arm around someone move)

Pippin:

Nooooo!!! Merry!!!

Legolas:

Must you all be so openly gay?

Pippin: (still upset over the loss of Merry)

Well, it's better than being closedly gay, Mr. Homophobic-pants!

Legolas:

Hah! I don't even wear pants!

Ron:

Underwear either! Oops...

Legolas:

RON!!!

Merry: (shocked)

Ron, you're cheating on me?!

Ron:

Um...oops.

(awkward silence)

Pippin:

So a hobbit walks into a bar-

Merry: (smacks him with a rolled-up newspaper)

No, bad Pippin.

Gimli: (who was, previously, pretty quiet for once)

Legolas! What am I supposed to tell Draco?!

Legolas:

Oh, that...

Sam:

What do you mean Draco?

Gimli:

You mean you didn't know about the threesome?

Sam: (tearing)

No, not Draco too! This is too soon after Frodo left me for that tree!!!

(Sam has a nervous breakdown)

Pippin:

It's okay, Sam. I'm here for you.

Sam:

Pippin, get your hand off my ass! Wait, no...forget I said that.

------Intermission------

(the fellowship [Aragorn, Boromir, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf for you steeoopid non-LotR fanatics] enter in tight leather pants, or a tight leather tunic in Legolas' case, and do select scenes from Riverdance while singing It's a Hard Knock Life)

------Now Back to the Story------

Dumbledore:

Now what have we all learned from this Riverdance incident?

Legolas:

Never try a DIY mohawk kit? (he points to his new, slightly lopsided 'do)

Dumbledore:

No.

Ron:

Condom + snow = bad?

Dumbledore:

No!

Merry:

Boromir looks really hot in leather?

Dumbledore:

NO!!! Actually, now that you mention it...but, you know, Princess Leia in a French maid's uniform is-

Legolas:

Wait, back up, Princess who?!

(yet another awkward silence)

Pippin: (opens his mouth to say something)

Merry: (smacks him, yet again, with a rolled-up newspaper)

No, bad Pippin.

Dumbledore: (sighs annoyedly)

Honestly, elves sometimes...you know, Princess Leia from Star Wars!

Legolas:

Star Search?

Dumbledore:

No, Star Wars.

Legolas:

Star Trek?

Dumbledore:

Close, but no.

Legolas:

Muffin?

Dumbledore:

I think I'd better quit while I'm ahead.

(the author decides to end the story to avoid further flaming from Legolas fans)

Pippin:

So a hobbit walks into a bar...OUCH! (laughs so hard that he dies. Oh well, no one will miss him...except maybe Merry...or Sam...)
