Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover with Lord of the Rings:

Summary: Dawn and Buffy land in Middle Earth. in the Shire. right before the Hobbits get on the raft for Buckleberry Ferry. This is 2 years into the future of BTVS. I haven't fully watched Season 6 so I do not know what has been happening. By the Way. Dawn as a key is still workable. Her power can still be channeled for magical use. A lot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer stories I have read, have facts in them that are to my liking. I apologize for not giving full credit to all of those wonderful individuals. Please keep writing! Especially peoples that wrote the fanfictions below, they are heaven!! Well not exactly, but you get my point.

Relationships: I am still thinking, but I'll tell ya, they're not happy dappy ones. Suggestions?

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters. They belong to Joss Whedon and who knows whom else. I also do not own Lord of the Rings, which was all written by a brilliant, but dead, J. R. R. Tolkien.

Starting Out in Middle Earth :

---------------------------(

It was a normal day. The sunlight was glittering through the trees and all was quiet. Everything, that is, not counting the four small men known as halflings lying sprawled out on the ground.

"Ooh, tha' was close," muttered the one with dirty blonde, curly hair that was at the bottom of the quartet.

"Owww, I think I've broken somethin'," whimpered another. This one seemed to be the second to the bottom. He too had dirty blonde, curly hair. As he said this, he reached under him and pulled out a broken carrot. "Ooh!"

From atop the one on the bottom, the fattest of the four started muttering to himself. "Trust a Brandybuck and a Took!"

"What? That was just a detour, ..a shortcut." This came from the one still holding the broken carrot.

"A shortcut to what?" he asked, clearly not expecting an answer. However, if he had expected one or not, one was quick to be said.

"Mushrooms!" the one on the bottom gasped. He tried to get up, only to be pushed down again by the one that, by now, had neglected the carrot, and had indeed seen the large pile of mushrooms. He tried to get up again, but again, he was shoved back into the ground by the fatter one. Finally he got up and ran over to the other two who were happily pulling out the mushrooms and dropping them in the fatter one's bag.

The last one of the four hobbits, which I have not mentioned yet, was, by now, standing up and looking to and fro. He heard the regular sounds of the forest, along with a strange, whispering sound, that definitely did not belong there. Wondering what it was, he said, "I think we should get off the road."

However, the trio did not hear him since they were talking amongst themselves about which ones to pick. A few seconds later, a whispering screech could be heard as the leaves started blowing towards them. The worried one then started panicking, softly shouting, if that can be done, he said, "Get off the road, Quick!"

The trio got up, intending to get the rest of the mushrooms when he had calmed down. They ran over and jumped over the root of a tree to get off the road. They sat down under the tree root and started whispering over the mushrooms excitedly. They could hear birds calling and then all was quiet. That is when they heard the clumping of a horse's hooves. The curly brunette, who had panicked earlier, looked up through a small rise in the tree root. Fear slowly began crawling up his body, and he saw a hoof with bloodstains on it. By now, the trio had stopped talking and was looking around wondering why the horse had stopped.

They heard someone get off the horse, and they could literally feel him bend down to sniff near their hiding spot. The black-clothed rider stayed there, patiently sniffing. All kinds of bugs and spiders came out of the ground. The brunette's eyes slowly rolled back into his head, and his finger started nearing toward putting a simple golden band on his finger. Right before he put it on, the fat one nudged him bringing him out of his trance. One of the trio then threw the bag of mushrooms to the far left hoping to lure the rider away from them. His plan worked, and the rider ran after the sound with a screech.

The little ones then got up and sprinted until one of them fell and asked, "What was that?"

The brunette only looked around nervously, he then stopped. Something, aside from the black rider chasing them, seemed really unusual. He started panicking again obviously wondering why he felt like this. Suddenly, as if it fell out of a portal, something landed on his back. He could hear another one landing on top of his two unfortunate friends who were already lying on the ground.

The one on top of him got up very quickly and ran to the other.

"Dawn! Are you okay?!?" The blonde human was looking frantically for any wound visible on the other girl. The brunette just rolled her eyes.

"I'm fine, Buffy," she said, in a very annoyed tone. The one called Buffy then started looking indignant.

"I'm only trying to see if you got hurt, you don't have to get all sarcastic, that's my job!" Buffy said proudly. She looked small for a human but very tall compared to a hobbit. By now, the one called Dawn had gotten up and brushed all of the leaves off of her.

Finally, one of the hobbits found his voice. "Who are you," he demanded in a warily.

"Didn't you just hear us talking?" Countered the brunette. "Who? No.what are you?"

"I," he started proudly, "am a hobbit. My name is Meriadoc Brandybuck. All my friends call me Merry. That," he said pointing to the other one Dawn had fallen on, "is Peregrin Took. These two fine lads here are Samwise Gamgee and Frodo Baggins."

"Right, I'm Buffy, and this annoying brat of a sister, is Dawn," Buffy answered in a neutral tone.

Dawn looked confused. "What's a hobbit? Is it some kind of.."

She never got to finish her sentence, because at that moment, a rider that was clothed in black and wreaked of evil was standing not four feet away from them. The hobbits backed away from it in fear. The rider with his evil steed lunged at Frodo. Buffy could definitely see that this was trouble. The hobbits started running, yelling at their friend and the two humans to follow them. Buffy was busy trying to keep that horse from getting to Frodo. Suddenly another horse appeared. It too went after Frodo. Then, it stopped short. It took a glance at Frodo, then it took a glance at Dawn, and clearing making up its mind, it lunged after Dawn.

"Dawn! Run, follow them!" Buffy screeched as she tackled one of the black riders off his horse. She then got up and slung Frodo into her arms. She ran with him to where the others were.

"We must get to Bree!" Frodo yelled, quickly startling Buffy, who had forgotten she was holding him. He was just so light.

"Right," one of them pondered, "Buckleberry Ferry." That was said in final determination. "Follow me."

Buffy and Dawn ran after the quick hobbits. Then they heard the dreaded sound of the horses once again screeching. Quickly, they sped up. The trio of hobbits ran and untied a large raft. Buffy jumped with Frodo in her arms and landed with a thump on the raft. Dawn, however was not as lucky. As she jumped, the raft took a lurch to the left, sending her into the freezing cold lake. She quickly surfaced and swam to the raft, and, once aboard, started shivering uncontrollably. It was at this time that the hobbits noticed the strange clothing of the two humans. It was just as strange as it was indecent. Buffy had on a green tank top that didn't fully covered her stomach. She also had on a pair of khaki's and black high-heeled boots. Her hair was back in a ponytail, and she had a bruise that began disappearing right after it appeared on her shoulder. Dawn, however, had on a pair of jeans and light blue sneakers. She looked like she hadn't even dressed fully since she had no shirt and only a black bra. Everything she had on was soaked, right down to her brand new pair of sneakers.

Buffy untied her blue jean jacket from her waist and gave it to Dawn. She took it gratefully and put it on. Buffy then looked at the hobbits.

"So, where are we exactly?"

"Buckleberry Ferry," Merry explained. "We reach Brandywine Bridge in twenty miles."

"Uhhh.that's not what I meant. What planet are we on?"

"Oh!" Exclaimed Merry, "We are in Middle Earth."

"Right, well." she muttered, clearly not about to finish.

"Where are you from?" Asked Frodo politely.

"We're from Sunnydale, California, United States, North America, America, the Western Hemisphere, Earth, the Milky Way, need I go further?" Asked Dawn, surprisingly saying that all in one breath.

"No," all the hobbits muttered together, thoroughly confused.

"Never mind, it's a big story."

"We've got time," said Sam. "All twenty miles and more, since we're not just stoppen' there.

"All right, but she warned you." Buffy started. She then took a deep breath and told her story. She made sure to leave out the fact that she was a slayer, and that demons were, in fact, real.
