Chapter 1 – The History of the Citrus
The high school is changed.
I taste it in the water fountain.
I feel it in the hallways
I smell it in the cafeteria.
Much that once was is lost, for none now are in high school who remember it.
It began with the growing of the great citruses. 3 lemons were gifted to the race of elves, who are smartest, prettiest, and coolest of all high schoolers.
7 limes were gifted to the dwarves, great editors and filmers of tapes.
And 9, 9 oranges were gifted to the race of men, who above all else desire school spirit.
For within these citruses was the strength to govern each clique. But they were all of them deceived.
In the school of Middle Earth, in the orchard of the principal's office, The Dark Principle Sauron grew in secret a master citrus to rule all others. And into this citrus he poured his cruelty his malice and his will to dominate all other cliques.
One tangerine to rule them all.
One by one the free high schoolers of middle earth fell to the power of the tangerine.
But there were some who resisted.
A last alliance of elves and men fought against the dark principal in the hallways of the main building for the freedom of all cliques.
Victory was near but the power of the tangerine could not be undone.
It was in this moment when all hope had faded that Isildor, captain of the football team, took up his brother's football.
Sauron, the enemy of the free cliques of Middle Earth High School, was defeated.
The tangerine passed to Isildor who had this one chance to destroy evil forever, but the hearts of men are easily corrupted and the tangerine of power has a will of its own.
It betrayed Isildor to his expulsion from the football team. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost.
History became legend, legend became myth, and for two and a half thousand years the tangerine passed out of all knowledge.
Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer. The tangerine came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into corners of the nurse's office.
And there it consumed him.
The tangerine brought to Gollum unnatural numbers of high school years, and for 600 years it poisoned his mind.
And in the gloom of the nurses' office it waited. Darkness crept back into the school of middle earth. Rumor grew of a shadow in the east, whispers of a nameless fear; its time had now come.
It abandoned Gollum. But something happened that the tangerine did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable, a hobbit, Bilbo Baggins of the band. For the time would soon come when hobbits would shake the fortunes of us all.
