Chapter 4: The Norm of Chaos—I mean, Visitors!
AN: Well, I guess 176 views has gotten to me then…(made it past 1 hundred fifty, KEEP IT COMING!) No reviews *looks down in sadness* *looks up happily* But at least people are reading it! That's something! And a favorite(it made my day, Cupcake155!) too.
Also, just thought of this, this MIGHT be a Pippin x OC fanfic, MIGHT! And maybe some small Legomances with "my" friends who are in love with(movie) Legolas. MAYBE! Same for the few that like Aragorn, just some backround, one sided romances/crushes that are admitted and turned down.
Also, there might be a chapter or so before we get to the stuff that's important! Or maybe this one! You never know! O.o
Also another note, I've looked back and realized there are too many girls here for even myself to keep track of, so I'm putting in an event that'll cut down the number-from ten to seven. It might help... a bit? Maybe?
Pippin: But first…?
Me: Fine! You do it this time, I always say it!
Pippin: What?
Me: *glares*
Pippin: *shudder* A-Alright. Otakuchamasherlockluvr never has or will own Lord of the Rings or any other store or product mentioned—
Me: Otherwise Pippin would be MINE!
Pippin: What?!
Me: Never mind! Read on!

The oh-so wonderful noises of males whispering seemed to drag me from a peaceful slumber of my fictional crush from Sherlock, John Watson.
"Is she awake?"
"I dunno, but I don't wanna find out!"
"C'mon, Pip! Don't be a whimp!"
"F-Fine. But only because you three are doing it too!"
"What, me? No, no, no! This was your idea, Merry and Pippin. Sam and I are only here to make sure she won't murder you with a glare like yesterday!"
"Sam?"
"I'm with Mr. Frodo."
"Well, I'm waking her up. You, Merry?"
"Oh, no! You have the honors, Pip!" I think I heard a huff, then Pippin's weak reply of,
"Fine."
I felt and heard some movement, then I felt two small hands place themselves right at my sides and start, oh no he didn't!
I involuntarily squealed as someone continued to tickle me awake. I opened my eyes and saw Pippin blushing as he stood up, finished from tickling me, with Merry, Sam, and Frodo all snickering at Pippin's brave act. I tried to glare at Pippin, but I saw he was too nervous and apparently scared of me to look straight at me. Instead, my brain's congress made the unanimous vote—and more fun option—of glaring instead at the three, still snickering, hobbits. Immediately, the three stopped. I grinned and stopped my glare.
Pippin shifted uncomfortably and handed me my glasses, still not looking at me. I grinned politely and took my glasses, cleaning them on reflex. While I rubbed my glasses on my gray long-sleeved lounge shirt, I looked around in what I could see of the study. I could tell(and hear) Gimli was asleep still, I think Legolas was gone. Gandalf, Aragorn, and Boromir were also up, probably eating breakfast or something. Most of the girls-Sarah, Kendra, Jyoti, Bee, Miriam, and Mikaela-were awake probably.
I put on my glasses and glanced at my trusty watch for the time. "8:30 AM. Great. Thanks, guys." I made sure my statement was heavy with sarcasm as I stood up and walked toward the door out of the study, stepping over the asleep body of Angela.
I walked up the stairs to my room-which I realized just now must be hard for the hobbits to sleep in, since they prefer being close to the ground-to change. I approached the door to my room and turned around to face the hobbits.
"Now look here. I am going in. I am going to be changing my clothes. Do not come in if you value your life. Understood?"
With a small nod from the hobbits, I turned on my barefoot heel and walked into my room, closing my door behind me quietly, not noticing the flashings of neon colored light and sounds of cats meowing and dogs barking and cows mooing and lightning crashes coming from the guest room right across the hall from my room.
LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR
I walked out of my room, dressed properly now in my gray Phantom Lake T-shirt and my trusty denim shorts and a light denim jacket, along with my bands for things like Lockheed Martin, of Honor and Obey from my church, and a bracelet Sarah made for me. A pair of neon green tie die socks adorned my feet.
I walked around the small corner between my room and the bathroom and walked into my bathroom and, somehow refraining from looking at the mess the Fellowship made, brushed my blonde hair and put it in a side pony with my green scrunchie. I looked at myself approvingly in the mirror and nodded, then walked out of the bathroom.
I glanced down the stairs and nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw someone look up the stairs at me. I looked down the stairs full on and saw, nothing. Odd. I'm pretty sure I didn't randomly start seeing things... Oh well! I shrugged to myself and practically skipped down the stairs, delighted at the thought of being able to show the Fellowship more anime(I'm sure today was gonna be Soul Eater or more Fairy Tail).
I arrived at the bottom of the stairs and looked at the tired face of Aryana, her shoulder length Mexican-like black hair a big messy ball, with her face sticking out of it. I grinned as she mumbled a quiet "G'mornin'" to me and walked around me up the stairs to borrow some of my clothes.
With Aryana's clomping up the stairs behind me, I turned to my right and walked into the living room. I walked straight to the kitchen and saw the Fellowship, Heaven, Miriam, Mikaela, Sarah, Kendra, Jyoti, and Bee were all in a good hum of conversation. I walked in and opened the fridge to see it has been emptied of almost all of its natural food contents. The potato salad, milk, juice, and some leftovers and things of that sort were all that was left there. I sighed and grabbed some leftover chicken and rice in a way that would give the impression that Rose Tyler never got to say good bye to the Doctor.
With skills like a ninja, I loudly closed the fridge door and immediately the buzz of conversation stopped between everyone.
i walked over to the counter and opened the container, grabbed a paper towel to cover the container, and shoved my breakfast in the microwave for 45 seconds.
Once the machine started to hum as it heated my food, the group around the table started talking again. I looked to the group and asked,
"So, what are we gonna do today?" The Halflings looked to me, grinning, and I gulped nervously. My friends started doing the same and I got a strange feeling...
"We told them about Doctor Who and they wanna watch it-from the beginning of the old show, Michelle." I let out a deep breath as Sarah told me, good, only that, no exploring the house or neighborhood or anything. I grinned too, just as the microwave beeped, signaling its work was done.
"Well, then, they are our guests. We must comply to their wishes, am I correct girls?" The girls who were Whovians with me all grinned and nodded in unison and I pulled out the dish and ate the food slowly, as the chatter slowly resumed again. While I ate, I didn't notice Gandalf walk into the room quietly and watch me eat my food.

I plopped myself onto the love seat couch yet again as we waited for my iPad to find the computer. Almost the entire company was excited about starting Doctor Who. Since we were starting from the beginning it would be even better, as I haven't started the classic Doctor Who yet. It's been in my list gathering metaphorical-dust for a long while.
I grinned as the computer and my iPad finally found each other. I tapped on the blue box image with the colorful back round and pressed play on the first episode. I leaned back on the back of the couch, in the same position as last night. I frowned as I thought of how the BBC could be so reckless as to loose 97 episodes of Doctor Who. Poor management, Dad said when I told him. I shook my head as the episode of the Aztecs started.
LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR
I groaned in disappointment as the sun rose above the horizon behind me and the two of the Fellowship that were awake and Heaven all groaned in an agreeing reply. I lounged back in the arm of the love seat and stopped Doctor Who and, with effort, straightened up.
I looked lazily around and, with one heavy blink of my eyes, I fell slowly to my right, landing on someone's lap with a sub-conscious grunt from that person. I don't really care who, either. I pulled my arms close to myself and fell into a deep sleep for two hours.
LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR
I woke up to someone's legs shifting under my head. I kept my eyes closed and tried to fall back asleep. However, when the person started to whisper to me in that familiar brogue I used to have a crush on, "Michelle? Are you awake?" I immediately snapped open my eyes and sat straight up. I turned my head to face Pippin and could feel a blush redder than Eleven's bow tie start to creep up my face. I quickly turned my head away before the Halfling could see me blush.
I got up quickly and walked upstairs to my room, where I changed into black leggings, my bamboo socks mom got from St. Thomas, a plain orange shirt that had some accidental paint splatters on the collar, and my green jacket that had Soul Eater on it with the shadows of the three main Meistersinger holding their weapons. I quickly ran a brush through my hair and left it down today.
In a slightly more positive mood then when I woke up, I bounced down the stairs and into the kitchen. I walked to the pantry and opened it, grabbing some cereal, planning to make some extra for the three Halflings who had slept in today, when I heard everybody else walk into the room. The switch just got flipped for chaos... Now.
LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR
I rubbed my eyes sleepily after finishing classic and new doctor who. Boy, was that fun.
It has been about a week or so since the fellowship arrived. Mum and dad would occaisionally check in, but most of the time it was just us. Thank The Lord it was summer break.
I sat down at the kitchen table, an energy bar in front of me. I decided to save the real food for everyone else, plus I wasn't that hungry. I rolled my eyes as I head someone stomp loudly into the kitchen. I rolled my eyes again, suspecting someone had woken up cranky.
I looked up, having just taken a bite of energy bar, to face the big red book of Lord of the Rings Right in front of my face. I blinked in surprise as I heard Aragorn's voice, heavy with confusion and anger, ask me,
"What. Is. This?!"
LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR
Aryrana rolled her eyes as Aragorn repeated his question, this time in front of the Fellowship and us girls as we sat around the dining room table.
"Duh. It's a book. I thought it was obvious." Uh-oh, she's sarcastic. She only gets sarcastic when she's really ticked at somebody. Better dig a grave now. . .
Aragorn sighed, taking a deep and shaky breath, probably trying to control himself. He looked up at me, as I was sitting right across from him. He seemed to try and glare at me through half lidded eyes. Yeah, like that was gonna work. I glared right back at him and I'm pretty sure he shivered under my glare.
"What I meant was, why is there a book that has documentary of our travels? It has everything we have gone through. Why?" I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned back in my chair, probably too confident. But that's a good thing, right?
"Well, you see, um." Yeah, total self-confidence there.
Bee rolled her eyes at my lack of explanation and walked over to my seat and rested her head on mine.
"As Michelle was trying to say, or lack thereof, gentlemen, is that, well, to be put simply, you're in a different world. No joke, somehow—I promise you I don't know how—you were taken from Middle Earth to Earth. Here, all of you are just fictional characters in books and movies, called—you guessed it, ladies and germs—the Lord of the Rings(trilogy), The Hobbit or There and back Again, A Hobbit's Holiday, and the Silmarillion. I haven't read any of the mentioned books, only Michelle has." I waved when Bee paused for breath. Bee nodded, crossing her arms across her chest in a defensive stance.
"And that's all? You won't tell us even who wrote these books that see our future?" I looked at Legolas as he spoke up and I nodded, crossing my arms too.
"Of course. His name was John Ronald Ruel Tolkien. But he's more widely known as J.R.R. Tolkien." The Fellowship nodded.
It was then that I-and most likely Bee as well-noticed Gandalf was not in the dining room with us. Of course, being the oh-so intelligent one, I only noticed when the grey wizard walked quietly into the room and stood by Aragorn, who was sitting at the head of the table. He leaned down and whispered something in Aragorn's ear. As soon as he did, Aragorn nodded, reluctantly I noticed. Gandalf nodded, turned, and left the room again. Aragorn stood stiffly, nodded at us, then walked away. I looked down in disappointment. Why couldn't we have just told them about the books from the start? Oh yeah, trust. Ugh.
Pushing back my chair, I got up out of my chair and went to my room to get my drawing stuffs. I remembered we were going to go to the woods and find a tree or five to sit in and do stuff today. Which I had not forgotten until just then, nope!
She did.
Bee, get out of my monologue!
Fine! I'm just saying you forget things VERY easily.
No I don't!
Yeah, sure. Well, bye!
Humph... Anywho!
Once I got to my room, I just threw on a pair of jeans, a large black T-shirt that had Japanese writing on it, my green jacket, and I pulled on my combat boots. When I got all my art stuff together, I put them in my back pack and grabbed Bee's too. Before I left my room, I grabbed Sarah's sketchbook, as well as Angela's sketchbook and pencils, and the rest of the girls' music stuffs and put those in my back pack. Only slightly content with my work, still in a bad mood, I went back downstairs.
I walked down the stairs, grabbing the railing and spinning myself half heartedly around the corner and continued walking. I heard soft padding and creaking on the stairs as someone-most likely a hobbit-came down.
"Miss Michelle?" I froze as Pippin's handsome brogue reached my ears. I turned around stiffly, not in the mood to speak with any of the Fellowship, after what happened.
"Yes?" Oh good Gallifrey gravy, I sound like a robot.
"We are getting ready, if you and the girls would come upstairs so you can make sure Aragorn or Gimli didn't pack in their weapons, we can go." I nodded and Pippin hesitated, like he was going to say something else, bit Merry sharply called down the stairs after his cousin. Pippin nervously smiled at me then ran back upstairs. I tilted my head in curiosity. Why couldn't they search their own fellows' bags? I thought to myself. Oh well. I shrugged and kept walking.
I walked briskly into the kitchen and saw Bee, Heaven, Sarah, Aryana, and the twins walking towards me.
"The others don't want to go and check. Apparently we're enough." I could tell Heaven was a little steamed, probably at going up without all of her friends to hide her from the Fellowship. Apparently, now that they were confused and upset at us, Heaven was scared of them. Oh well.
I nodded and reached down, grabbing my art backpack, hefting it onto my shoulders. Since almost everybody's stuff was in my backpack, I was like the hunchback of Notre Dame under the weight.
I casually left my phone on the counter, going to grab it when we leave for the neighbors to get mum to drive us. Bee, Heaven, and Aryana did the same, laying theirs next to mine.
"Shall we go inspect the boys' bags?" I asked and the girls nodded, not too happily I noticed. I shook my head and we walked upstairs to the guest room.
Bee rapped her knuckles on the door.
"Guys? We're coming in." She opened the door and we saw that the guest bed had been shoved into the closet somehow-most likely Gandalf's wizarding magic stuffs-and instead there was some sort of hole, portal, thing, in the middle of the room. Actually, black hole is more like it. Yeah.
Anyway, the Fellowship were gathered around it in a circle, jumping in one by one. Pippin glanced at me and winced like how you do when you know you did something bad but did it anyway and you were afraid of being scolded.
I gave him a worried glance as he and Merry jumped in after the other two hobbits. Aragorn, Boromir, Gandalf, and Gimli were left.
Heaven shook her head angrily at the Fellowship and jumped in, shouting loudly, "GERONIMO!"
Aryana tripped over her own feet, falling in after her and, before we couldn't see her, she screamed, "ALLONS-Y!"
The twins shook their heads, saying, "For Pete's sake," and jumped after them, finishing, "GALLIFREY STANDS!"
I, probably very cruelly, pushed in Sarah, who's very memorable words were, "FOR NARNIA!" We ran out of Doctor Who shouts, apparently!
Bee and I shook our heads in unison. We grabbed each other's hands and jumped in, shouting after out friends, "FOR FAIRY TAIL!"
Yeah, we're fangirls going into another world. Look out, Valar. The otakus are coming.
