AN: This is my first story I write in English, so if there's any grammatical errors, please tell me. Read, review and enjoy!
The seven sons of Fëanor where assembled in front of a big tv screen that had apperead out of nowhere and Feanor had ordered his sons to check out what this object might be. Maedhros was scratching his head in confusion while he inspected this…thing, for the lack of a better word. (Of course they didn't know it was a TV, since it's not supposed to exist in Middle-Earth. Anyway, move on with the story)
"This might been the strangest thing I've ever seen" said Maglor.
"What are we supposed to do with it?" asked Amrod.
"Let's stab it and see what happens" said Caranthir.
"Is that your answer to everything? Violence?" said Maedhros and gave his third younger brother the 'you're such an idiot'-look.
"It has worked before" said Caranthir and glared back. He seemed to forget that it also has backlashed pretty badly, but oh well.
"Not this time, brother" said Celegorm and touched the bizarre "thing" carefully. "It's not alive."
"Hey guys, I found something!" Curufin shouted. The others gathered around him. It was a note of sorts.
"What does it say?" asked Amras(Yes, in this story both Feanor and Amras are still alive, cause it's my story)
"Dear Feanorians" said Curufin, reading outloud. "You guys have had too much too do lately. Enjoy this tv and movies. You deserve a break. Sincerely, the 21st Century"
"Tv? Movies? What in the name of Valar is that?" said Caranthir.
"Well, my guess is that this big thing is a 'TV', whatever that is" said Maedhros. He saw a bunch of flat books of sorts and lifted them up to inspect them. "And these must be 'Movies'" (I have always said that Maedhros is the brain of the bunch. The only working one, anyway. Except for when he fell for Morgoth's trap…okey, forget what I just said)
"The 21st Century? That's ages away! How is this even possible?" Celegorm said.
"It can't be more impossible than that we live in a place where litteraly everything is confusing" said Maglor.
"You know, this 21st guy have a point. We do deserve a break." Said Curufin. " So I say we should try this thing out"
"But how? We don't know how this…TV work" said Amras.
"I found another note. It says 'Instructions'. If we follow them it shouldn't be a problem."
"Okey, let's try this then!" said Maedhros. "What should we do first, Curufin?"
"Uhm" said Curufin and turned a page. "Find the ON button. Push it."
Celegorm, very carefully and slow, went forward to the TV and after a while finally found a circle shaped button and, you guessed it, pushed it. The TV immediately made a whoosh-sound which caused everyone to jump and stare at the TV suspiciously.
"Now what?" asked Celegorm and turned his head to Curufin.
"Use the remote control and push on the button called Menu"
"And what in the name of Middle-Earth is a remote control?!"
"My guess is that small, squarelooking thing at your feet" said Caranthir. Celegorm picked it up and pushed on the Menu button and on the Tv Screen it appeard a lot of options.
"And now you should push play, but first we must pick a movie" said Curufin.
"Let's just pick the first one on the pile and get over with it" said Caranthir.
"Alright" said Maedhros and picked the first 'DVD', which they apparently were called, and said. "Gladiator"
"What is a Gladiator?" asked Maglor.
"Look, I know I'm the smartest out of all of us, but I don't know everything!" Maedhros said annoyed.
"There's a text on the back, that might explain it" said Amrod. Maedhros turned the DVD and read:
"Gladiator is the story of a roman commander called Maximus. His family gets murdered and are doomed to slavery himself. To win his freedom, he must fight deadly battles on battle arenas infront of a crowd. Obsessed to get revenge for his dead family, Maximus goes back to Rome and once again meets the man that ruined his life, Emperor Commodus."
"Sounds pretty awesome" said Caranthir. "Let's watch it!"
"Why aren't i surprised?" Maedhros mumbled but gave the DVD to Celegorm whom put it into the DVD and pushed play.
The brothers took their seats and waited tensely.
"You know" said Curufin. "I'm actually excited for…"
"Hush!" said Caranthir. It's about to start!"
The music began to sound from the screen and everyone fell silent.
