Author's Notes: This chapter takes place before 'Return of the King' came out in theaters. Just thought you should know. I'm so glad this fic is back!

Carolyn slammed the book shut. "This isn't working!" she bellowed. Carolyn sat with her best friends Caitlin and Katie in her living room trying to read 'The Return of the King' from Lord of the Rings. "I want to see the movie now!!!" Carolyn growled.

"Get used to it." Katie said rolling her eyes. "The third movie won't be out until November!"

"NOVEMBER IS TOO LONG!" Carolyn shrieked, "IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER!!!"

"Carolyn! Quit acting like a psychopath!" Katie yelled.

"He's soooo cute…" Caitlin murmured as she looked over Carolyn's picture of the elf Legolas. It was autographed by Orlando Bloom himself. She had sent the picture in the mail, and gotten it back with his signature six weeks later.

"Speaking of psychopaths!" Carolyn shouted snatching the picture from Caitlin's hands. Orlando Bloom had actually touched the picture; she didn't want anyone dirtying it. "Caitlin! Legolas is a fictional character! He doesn't exist!"

"I know…" Caitlin sighed. "But he's soooo cute!"

"Stop saying that you nut!" Katie yelled.

Carolyn, Katie, and Caitlin were all very pretty young teenage girls. Carolyn was 14, and had short blond hair that fell in coils on her shoulders, and pale blue eyes. She was wearing a pink top with spaghetti straps. She was wearing white sneakers with dark blue stripes on the sides. She was also wearing baggy blue jeans.

Katie was also 14 and the shortest of the group. She had fuzzy reddish-brown hair and brown eyes with light brown colored contacts. She was wearing black fishnets with a black tank top underneath it. She was wearing black skintight jeans with a black belt. She was also wearing black combat boots. Needless to say she loved black. Her nails were also painted black.

Caitlin was 15 and had long brown hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a red t-shirt with orange fire on the front. She was wearing long skin-tight jeans and white sneakers. They all had fair white skin.

Carolyn brushed her hair out of her eyes and sighed. "I love Lord of the Rings! It's the coolest movie of all time, except maybe for Harry Potter, but I just can't read 'The Return of the King'. It's just so hard to picture what's happening. If there isn't a little movie playing in my head than I'm not getting it."

"Me too." Katie sighed. "I really didn't want to wait to find out what happens to Frodo and the others."

"Legolas…" Caitlin sighed dreamily.

"I SAID QUIT IT!!!" Carolyn screamed. She grabbed 'The Return of the King' off the couch and hurled it at her. Caitlin ducked and it hit the floor and opened to the last page.

"Whoa what's that?" Katie cried pointing at the book that was lying open on the floor. Carolyn's mouth hung open in shock. A purple blob of some sort was on the inside of the book cover. It swirled and glowed and made weird sucking sounds.

"Sweetness!" Carolyn cried kneeling by it.

"Watch out Carolyn!" Katie warned, "That thing looks radioactive!" Carolyn ignored her and poked it with her index finger.

"Ohhhh!" Carolyn said grinning, "It's fun to poke!"

"Knock that shit off!" Katie yelled.

"It's making neat 'glub' sounds!" Carolyn laughed as she continued to poke it, "Glub, glub, glub, glub, glu-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The substance had wrapped around Carolyn's arm and was crawling up towards her shoulder.

"GET IT OFF! IT'S PULLING ME IN!" She wailed. Katie grabbed Carolyn by the shoulders and tried to pull her free.

"It's no good! Caitlin get a knife! We'll have to cut the arm off!"

"WHAT?! FORGET IT!" Carolyn screamed.

"It's going to pull you in!"

"...TAKE THE ARM! TAKE IT!"

Suddenly there was a WHOOSH sound and Carolyn was sucked into the back cover screaming.

"CAROLYN!" Katie cried. She jumped in after her friend not caring where she wound up.

"WHEE! MIDDLE EARTH!" Caitlin cheered. She jumped in after them.
