WHO-HOO! Lol, this is me and my friends second but first "published" fan fiction. We hope you like it! It's the usual stuff, you know, we fall into M.E. Create some havoc, have some fun, lol. Ok, disclaimer: me and my friend don't own anything but Angela and Christine, that's all. Hehe, LOTR belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien and the movie business now.

Into the Ring

By: phoenixgriffin aka the phoenix girl and the griffin chick

"Oh no!" Angela Diaz peered at the clock in the Hartnell College locker room. She hurriedly stuffed her damp clothes and a bottle of shower gel into her backpack. The last slam of the door from the front of the locker room that led out to the pool meant that she was alone. She looked around the empty rows of lockers. Sure enough, that was the last swimmer. Just then she heard a clang coming from the bathroom area.

"Who's there?" Angela asked. She opened her backpack and took out her hairspray, ready to attack at will. Angela crept towards the back of the locker rooms and poked her head out. To her relief the person who had made the noise was Christine Ebalo, a buddy of hers from school.

"God Christine, you scared the crap out of me!" Angela laughed.

Christine chuckled nervously. "Why are you still here?"

Angela laughed, "probably the same reason you are…. I think.." she ended nervously watching her friend.

"Oh, it just takes me longer to get ready than everybody else," Christine said as she tried to brush her wet, mangled hair. "I gotta hurry up though 'cause my dad's waiting for me out in the parking lot."

"Oh ok, I'll wait for you then, it's a little scary in here when you're all by yourself, don't you think?" Angela said.

"Yeah, I don't really like being alone in here," Christine related. Angela fiddled with her necklace as she leaned against the wall. Suddenly Angela realized something was missing.

"Shit," she cried when she found out her necklace was missing its charm. "I'm missing my little turtle charm!"

"Christine? did you see where I put my bracelet before I took a shower?" Angela asked. "Let me check my shower stall!" Angela ran over to her stall and searched the tile floor and the tray dish that she usually put her things in. "Shit Christine, I can't find it!"

"Calm down," Christine assured "I'm sure we'll find it."

"What if it fell in the pool!" Angela cried frantically. "Oh wait, did I bring it with me in the pool?"

"Maybe it's here!" Christine persuaded.

"Yeah maybe.." Angela then noticed a glint coming from the opposite side of the showers. "OMG! Is that it? How'd it get over there?"

Christine smiled, "See I told you it'd be here." She marched on over to where Angela was standing.

"I found this next to it, too," Angela said, picking up a shiny, ring like figure.

"Oh, that's pretty!" Christine said, "Does it belong to one of the other girls? I think they'd miss something like this." It was hard to ignore the glare of the small object. Angela slipped it on out of curiosity. Suddenly, a glare of light seemed to eat away at the shower wall. "Oh my god!" Christine cried.

Angela screamed, "Oh my god Christine, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!!"

"The hell if I should know!" Christine said in amazement. Angela was about to touch it with her finger when Christine pulled her arm back. "What are you doing?! What if you get sucked in or something?"

"Oh c'mon Christine, what's the worst that could happen?" Angela reached out and tried to touch it again with her other hand. Christine tried to grab her hand but was to late. Just then, the door from the front of the locker room whipped open, but not in time to see Angela and Christine being sucked in the wall of light.

Well? What did you think? TELL US!! lol
