Michelle's POV

LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR

I grinned as we planned how to teach the Hobbits a lesson. What, no I won't tell you what it is! Why on Middle Earth would I do that? You may be on their side! (*^*)

Oh, for Rassillon's sake why are you turning this into Star Wars?

Bee?

No, I'm Galadriel!

Haha, very funny. What are you doing in my dialogue?

I just wanted to remind you that we aren't allowed to break the fourth wall(even though you do it almost all the time... (-_-))

Ugh, FINE! Now, go away! Shoo!

Anyways. We were all stooped low, in a circle, as we drew out plans, whispering. Mikaela even lowered the lighting to set the mood. Of course, then we couldn't see, so we had to turn the lights back on to full blast(as we like to do for most things). Then, Elves came and complained about the lights, and Bee threw rotten fruit at them and Sarah ran after them apologizing. Yeah, we had an eventful night.

We ended up staying up all night, so I was more tired than usual. We all were, which just fueled our malice towards the Hobbits. Hold up, since when do I say "malice"? Ugh, I'm turning into a bleeping Mary Sue!

When morning dawned on Lothlorien, we all were exhausted from our plans. However, when we had our breakfast(privately, so we wouldn't interact with the enemy), everyone perked up. So when we changed clothes out of our PJs, we headed out. Since we didn't have any other clothes (I don't exactly remember getting or even changing into pajamas,... whatever!), we just wore what we wore yesterday, strapping on our weapons just 'cause we like to be safe - and we were all hoping to have a little training session later today...

I pointed to Aryana. "Yaya, you have the custom license plates?" She nodded, holding up said objects.

I pointed to Bee. "Bee, you got the honey?" She held up the jar, with a few bees flying around. She waved them away, before replying, "Yes, ma'am!"

I pointed to Sarah. "Sarah, got the mushrooms?" Sarah held them up in a Ziploc bag, wearing gloves and a gas mask. I rolled my eyes at the exaggeration, and grinned when she started saying in a British accent, "Are you my mummy?"

I pointed to the twins. "Twins, got the Elvish rope?" The twins held up four separate rolls of rope, nodding.

I pointed to Heaven. "Heaven... Do, do, do you, you have, um..." I rubbed the back of my head, forgetting what I had assigned to her. She rolled her eyes, holding up two mysterious objects. "Gottem." I held up my two thumbs with a cheeky grin, before going into a serious pose, pointing forwards.

"Alright, men! Operation 'Teach the Halflings A Lesson,' is a go!"

Bee deadpanned behind my back, saying in a monotone, "Where do you dream this stuff up?"

Aryana, the only other person to get it fell back with laughter. Heaven smirked in understanding, but the reference was lost on the twins and Sarah. (AN: If you don't get it, it's from Ouran High School Host Club... ON WITH THE STORY!)

Dramatically, I marched off in a random direction. I heard Bee call out to me, "Michelle!" I turned around to face Bee pointing in the opposite direction, "They're that way!" I scoffed, then marched with the absolutely no dignity I have in that direction. When I got close to the girls, I muttered, "I knew that - I was just testing you!" Bee rolled her eyes, before falling in step with me. One by one, i heard the other girls join my stepping pace. I grinned, time to teach some Hobbits a lesson...

LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR

"DUH nu-nuh, duh-nuh-nuuuhhh, nuh-nuh! Duh-duh-duh-DUH, duh-duh duh-duh-"(AN: capital letters are loud and bold are lower notes)

"Michelle, what the heck are you doing?" I turned around to face Sarah's exasperated expression as she and the twins(probably the only sane ones in our group) were standing with their arms crossed in confusion. Without looking at myself, Bee, Heaven, or Aryana- who were all somehow tangled in a haphazard way in the limbs of the trees or nearby shrubbery(which I may or may not have made a "Monty Python" quote at when Heaven ran into one), I replied, "I'm humming that classic spy music - James Bond, or something, I think -, while we are supposed to sneak to the Fellowship's camp!"

Ok, I probably need to explain. . .

*time reverse to a little while ago*

As soon as we were far enough from our camp, I started to sneak around, hunched over so my back was almost parallel to the ground, and I was scurrying from tree to tree, poking my head from one tree and then out from another a few yards away without showing myself(a trick I learned from some fictional characters).

I kept at it for a while, the crazy ones(Bee, Heaven, and Aryana) followed my example. Sarah and the twins just walked nonchalantly behind us, ignoring the weird looks the passerby Elves were giving us four in the trees and bushes.

However, somewhere along the way, first Aryana, then Heaven, Bee, and then even I, got stuck in a shrubbery or a tree branch, our limbs entangles everywhere. Though, I didn't get entangled that badly, some branches, leaves, and a bird's nest were just in my hair. Ugh, can't wait to get those out later tonight...

*now you're caught up, so let's continue!*

Sarah shook her head at me, while I tried to get some branches out of my long-ish hair. I was supposed to be an elleth, but unlike them, my hair just wouldn't stay smooth at all! It always seemed to retaliate, never looking perfect, always being tangled somewhere! I looked up at Sarah and the twins, who's hair was perfect - and Sarah wasn't even an elleth. I should know, I thought, as I stood up to my full height, so I was a head taller than Sarah.

But still, I couldn't help but think as I got the others out of the shrubbery and trees, I wish my hair could be like that.

Sighing, I straightened up, my back popping multiple times. I grinned at the girls, who shook their heads at my happy-go-lucky expression and attitude. I waved everyone to go onwards. "Let's go, girls! After all-" I got very serious, "we're in dangerous territory, right between the Fellowship's territory and the neutral zone." I heard Heaven groan from behind me and she muttered, "Really? Why bring Star Trek into a Lord of the Rings fanfiction?" I smirked, shaking my head.

After a minute or so of walking, we finally made it to the Fellowship's camp. They weren't really doing much, Aragorn was fiddling with his sword, Legolas and Gimli were off somewhere (no matter how hard I insisted they were bonding as friends, Aryana(our yaoi lover) begs to differ, and has such dirtied my already kinda dirty mind...), Boromir was also somewhere, and the Hobbits were just where we wanted them - all together in a little huddle. Looking at them, I suddenly felt a little bad at what we're going to do. However, when Pippin started blushing, I immediately ripped out that remorse and stamped on it till it was gone.

Setting my jaw in determination, I looked back to the girls behind me, who had all placed their teaching materials in my back pack - which I was wearing, duh.

"Okay, girls. You all know what to do?" Everyone nodded, and I nodded after, finalizing it. "Now, GO!"

We all ran out, myself in the lead. Pretty much, our plan for now was to just play it cool. However, since we were running, we were just going to decide on a lie, like we were in a race to see who got there first.

We ran up to the four Hobbits, who by now had visibly paled when they saw our expressions and immediately looked at Bee and Mikaela in what seemed to be betrayal. When we reached the guilty party, I dramatically brought up my hand, pointing at the Hobbits.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can or will be manipulated against you in the court of Michelle. You have the right to an attorney; if you do not have one, one will be provided for you. Do you or do you not understand these rights?"

While I was talking, the girls were grabbing the four Hobbits and carrying/dragging them to a very secluded area. By the time I was finished, we were pulling out the rope. The Hobbits looked at us all in shock, fear, and a bit of betrayal for Bee still... meh!

During a few moments of silence (and a random breeze whistling through the branches (and Bee shouting at it that it belonged in a different fanfiction)), Pippin broke it.

"Wha-What is an 'attorney'?" I grinned evilly, causing Pippin to yelp in fright, as I grabbed a thing of rope and walked menacingly to the Hobbit. I pushed him back until he bumped into a tree. He stiffened as I started to wrap rope around and around him and the trunk of the tree. Heaven, Aryana, and Sarah copied what I was doing (though with a little less malice) to Frodo, Sam, and Merry (respectively). Pippin gave me his puppy dog eyes that - since I'm not distracted - would normally make me fangirl. However, since I was mad, I glared at him, shaking my head. He whimpered, bowing his head.

We stepped back, joining Bee, Miriam, and Mikaela. I smirked, just in joy of the Hobbits' fear. "Now girls, carry out the plan."

"Roger!" With that, we all set out our plan.

First, while I got out the stuffs, we all grinned menacingly at the Hobbits, even chuckling darkly. The Hobbits were all scared now, making me more excited, thus making me more scary, and so on and so forth.

I pulled out the four big jars of Beorn's honey (don't ask me how I got it, I just did - I don't question anything anymore), and immediately dumped my jar all over Pippin. When some got in his eyes, a small flicker of pity flared up in me and I wiped it away from his eyes and nose, we don't want to kill them, just punish them.

"Ugh... so... sticky..." Bee - a bystander for most of this - grinned at them, crossing her arms.

"That's whatcha get for not only eavesdropping, but also talking to me while eavesdropping. Mikaela would have never told, but I would~" She grinned at them, an evil light in her eyes, which made all of us shiver.

'Thank you, fanfiction, for some ideas.' Yes, we used fanfiction (particularly 'It's our story now,' ... just saying) for some things in our plan. But most aren't. If you've read the other story,... well, that doesn't matter, so, just read on.

After I finished dumping the honey on Pippin, I looked over (if you looked at them, it would be, from left to right: Pippin, Frodo, Merry, and Sam) and saw that Heaven, Sarah, and Aryana had done the same (respectively to the aforementioned line of Hobbits). Grinning maliciously, I reached into my backpack, holding four big Ziploc bags that read, "Grown by Bee." Yes, these were the mushrooms grown by Bee in the last chapter.

Us four placed the mushrooms all over the Hobbits, like we were placing ornaments on a tree - where the honey was, of course, so it could stick. And where their mouths couldn't reach them, as I could tell Pippin and Merry were foolishly trying to do anyways.

Heaven walked over to me, giving me the puppy dog eyes. "Please, can I start the next one?" Feeling a little pity for Pippin always being the first, I nodded. She grinned, but I held up a hand. "But, only this once. I still do the rest." I took on a dark undertone, which Heaven got immediately. She shivered, nodding, and grabbing one of the mysterious items.

Hiding it behind her back, she walked over to face the four Hobbits, a false-nice smile on her face as she slowly revealed one of the mystery items to be...

"Apple jam?"

"I love apple jam!" Oh, Pippin, you shouldn't have said that... well, you should have, for our sakes, but for yours, haha, nope.

Heaven adopted my Cheshire/Hikaru and Kaoru grin, slowly turning her head back to the Hobbits. "Weeelllll, you certainly won't after this..." She slowly walked over to Frodo, and with one glance, he quickly opened his mouth. I saw the other Hobbits do the same. I grinned.

"Oh, Halflings, you really shouldn't have done that..." As soon as Heaven lifted up the jar to Frodo's mouth, patting the bottom, it all slid out and into his mouth. Before I could see his expression, I turned to Pippin, doing the same. His little baby face scrunched up in disgust. "Oh, that's too much apple!" Well, that's what it probably meant to be. Instead, it came out as "Oh,vat'sh tchoo wuch akkle!" I grinned again.

Similar complaints were voiced by the other three Hobbits. Soon enough, our jars were emptied. I tossed the jars aside, reaching down into my backpack to get the other mystery item. I lifted it out of my bag, Pippin staring at the four items wide eyed.

"What are those?" I grinned turning to face the others, so I could hand off the other three to the other three main revenge retrievers.

"These, my dear Halflings, are Oculus Rifts. Mainly used for video games, but for this purpose, to torture you with a sort-of kid's sci-fi show. That's right..." I trailed off for dramatic effect, standing back from Pippin after pressing play, "Star Trek: Enterprise." The girls rolled their eyes at my Tamaki-drama, and some groaned when I shivered when I said the name - to my family and I, that show wasn't even canon! The Hobbits sighed while the show played.

Immediately making a split decision, I reached into my backpack again, this time pulling out Beats and iPods loaded with One Direction, Justin Bieber, Jonas Brothers, N-Sync, Backstreet, Miley Cirus, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift songs, playing full blast. I walked over to the Hobbits, making sure subtitles was activated on the Oculus Rifts, then slid the Beats over their heads. All four started shouting.

"WHAT IS THIS?!"

"HUH?"

"WHAT IS THIS RAPPING?!"

"I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING~!" I rolled my eyes at Pippin's complaint.

"I thought for sure I turned up the volume loud enough..." I muttered saracstically, placing my hand under my chin, tilting my head in a thinking pose.

"WHAT DID SHE SAY?!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

We all grinned at each other, then I turned to Aryana. "Yaya, still have those custom license plates on you?" She un-clipped said plates from a belt that appeared out of nowhere, and handed them to me, grinning like the maniac that she is. I took it, nodding thankfully, then turned around to face the Hobbits. I looked over my shoulder to Heaven.

"Heav', I'mma need a lift. Think you can help?" I heard her put her hands on her hips defiantly.

"You think I have arm strength, with these sticks of arms?"

"If you can lift that deadweight of an axe for a weapon, then yes." I heard her sigh and I think she shook her head, before she walked over, picking me up and placing me on her shoulders, walking over to the tree I pointed too, Pippin's tree. Carefully, I lifted a nail to the trunk and hammered that onto the tree. Once it was secure, I hung one of the license plates, which were custom because they were three times larger, had the upper half in English and the lower half in Elvish, reading, "THESE STUDENTS ARE TO BE LEFT COMPLETELY ALONE WHILE THEY STUDY! THANK YOU!" and then, of course, the same message in Elvish underneath it. I guided Heaven over to Frodo's tree, where I did the same, and on to Merry's and Sam's trees.

I steered Heaven back to the group, where she reluctantly marched back. Once there, I pointed forwards. "Onwards, my noble steed!" Heaven shook her head.

"Not today, nor ever." I was then unceremoniously dropped onto the floor, landing on my Elvish feet. I pouted at her, before turning smug again after a glance back to our prisoners. I waved good-bye to them. "Bu-bye, hons." We turned around, walking onward back to the Fellowship camp. Bee turned back around, yelling in a fake-nice tone that didn't suit her, "DO. NOT. REPORT. YOUR. EAVESDROPPING. TO. ME~!" With that done with, we were off.

Aragorn looked up at us in confusion when we returned. "Where are the Hobbits?" I grinned at him.

"Why, just learning a lesson, is all! Don't try to find them, or else they'll get detention for leaving class, and you'll get punishment for interrupting their lesson, 'kay?" I winked at him, pulling my Lolita skillz (which was absolutely nada) on the Ranger. He shook his head at me, somehow knowing better. Oh, that reminds me...

I waved away the girls, saying, "Go... do something... explore, I dunno. 'Kay?" They nodded, going off to do their own thang. I looked back to Aragorn, who was back to his sword. I walked over to him, sitting myself down next to him.

"So, um... about the book..." I looked on anything but Aragorn, too nervous. I heard him stop sharpening the sword and felt eyes on the side of my head.

"Yes, I should apologize for my actions back in your world. I did not mean to yell at you, our hostesses. I was just reading up to Moria, and when I read about the Balrog and Gandalf-... I did not believe it, so I stormed out of your study to find you." I looked up at him, noticing how stressed he seemed to be, as he too looked ahead, as if avoiding my gaze. I felt my gaze soften and I smiled at the father figure I had held for so long. I hugged him, obviously startling him - if his tense back was anything to go by.

"It's okay, Aragorn. I know you weren't actually mad at us - accept maybe for hiding it from you, but that was because we were afraid of how you would react - but you were really just mad at the plot twist!" I squeezed him slightly, then pulled back a little too quickly at the thought of Arwen, blushing heavily, feeling immensely remorseful at the action.

Too quickly, I stood up, excusing myself and running away back to our spot.

Before we could do anything - a gust of wind whistling through the branches again, and I had to remind it that it was in the wrong FanFiction -, an Elf came over to us. Upon further inspection, I soon noticed that he had some dried fruit at his hairline, however, being the polite one(sometimes), I didn't bring it up.

"Lady Galadriel wishes to speak to you seven." I didn't notice the glare he sent to Bee, yes I giggled when she just grinned at him. He spluttered, at a loss for words, and I stood up. "Why, thank you for telling us that. Girls, come on." I started marching off in one direction.

"My lady?" I turned back around to face the clearing. The Elf was pointing in the other direction, over his shoulder, a deadpan expression on his face. "She is this way." I spun around on my heel, marching off in that direction. When I got close enough, I said, "I knew that."

LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR

Us seven all walked into the secluded room, all wondering why we were all summoned. 'I hope we all won't be punished for teaching the Hobbits a lesson today,' I murmured to myself.

"You're the one who planned it all out, you know," I winced at the truth that Aryana spoke. My anger had died down, and(as usual whenever I act off of my anger) I felt very bad that I did it. Yah, they shouldn't have eavesdropped, but they didn't need to go through that to learn it! Well, maybe... Okay, so my anger wasn't completely gone...

I looked up when I felt the pure white presence of Lady Galadriel enter the loft room. In my head, I was playing the vocal music for Lothlorien, which preoccupied my mind more than normal...

"Ladies. I am glad you all could come," we all knew it was a pleasantry, since we had nothing left to do, "However, I wish to tell you something of importance." The golden-haired immortal gestures for us to take a seat, which we did. Lady Galadriel soon did the same, sitting in front of our group.

LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR

Lady Galadriel sighed, rubbing her temples. "Tell me again who you believe you all are, caun."

I sat with my back straight. "I told you, I'm the ruler of the universe and they-" I gestured to my friends, "-are my slaves." Galadriel shook her head, showing signs of stress, after only a few short minutes of being in here.

I could practically feel the girls roll their eyes at my words and I just smirked from habit. Is it wrong to have a habit of smirking, no matter your situation? Or is it worse to have a habit of twiddling your fingers, playing with anything they touch. That was why I did fan fiction, I needed a way to let out... Everything, I guess. I heard Lady Galadriel mutter under her breath, "It really is best, now that you've come so far, that you should be sent back."

I looked at Lady Galadriel in fury. "Wait, why will you send us back?! Why now?! What have we done?" Galadriel stared calmly back at me, which she has been doing very well, most people loose their temper when I tell at them. She has skillz. Wait, when did she stop rubbing her temples? I'm confused... Like I always am...

"Because, Michelle, your time here is running out. I send you back, however, not before you get something." She held up her hand into the sky and I noticed Lord Celeborn was absent, which doesn't even surprise me, since he wasn't even in the Hobbit movies... Focus, Michelle!

A bright flash of white light filled the room and my elven sight, temporarily blinding me. In the back of my head, I heard Gandalf recite the black speech of Mordor and I slightly wondered, 'Where are we going?'

LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR

3rd Person POV

LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR

Gandalf then chanted the black speech, making everyone frightened.

"Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul."

Now, what happened next was very surprising. If you couldn't guess already, the girls were thrown back in time to the Council.

With a bright flash of light swirling with darkness, eight girls appeared in a large pile. On the bottom was a black girl who was on the skinny side, who was wearing a navy blue polo that had some dried off Orc blood stains on it, light blue jeggings, and she had a large Dwarf battle axe strapped into her back.

The girl right on top of her was a large-ish Mexican girl, with black hair that came to her shoulders, thick black glasses, a black jacket that had many layers, a gray T-shirt, medium blue jeans that had some black stains on the bottom, black converse, and two daggers strapped around her waist, plus a medium curved sword was on her back.

On top of the Mexican girl, were twin girls. The twins had perfect, pale skin, and dark brown hair that came to their shoulders. If their hair was pulled back, you would see that they were Elves. One girl had a pink jacket over a white T-shirt, medium blue jeans, and pink converse. The other had the same clothes, except instead of pink it was purple. They both had katanas strapped to their waist and a bow and quiver filled with Orc and Elven arrows on their backs.

On top of the twins was a girl with tan skin and long brown hair that fell to her elbows - if it wasn't all in her face. The brunette was wearing a dark blue jacket over a gray T-shirt and khaki capris. She didn't have any shoes on, and around her waist was a belt that was sporting a katana. In her grip was a bow staff.

Lying next to the brunette was a smaller girl who had longer, dirty blonde hair that(if it wasn't in her face also) would fall right to her hips. She had on a light blue princess top with puffed sleeves and khaki capris, also barefoot. She had twin daggers on a woven belt around her waist, and a bow and quiver of Elven and Orc arrows were strapped onto her back.

On top of the brunette and small dirty blonde was another dirty blonde, however she seemed to be taller and her hair was shorter. Her hair - which was pulled back into a haphazard ponytail, revealing Elven ears - was shorter than the other blonde. She had on blue glasses, similar in style to the Mexican girl's. This girl was wearing a black T-shirt with Japanese calligraphy on it, and on top of that was a lime green jacket, she also was wearing dark blue jeans that were tucked into black combat boots. She had a pistol in a holster around her waist, a double headed spear was strapped onto her back, and twin Elven blades were in separate sheaths inside her boots. In her iron grip was a dirty rainbow tie-died backpack, which had a purple underside and purple straps, presumably holding something precious to her if she was holding it so tightly that her knuckles were white and the rest of her fingers were red.

Lying next to the dirty blonde was a girl who had light brown hair that came down in slight waves to her armpits(if it wasn't in a bun). She was wearing a medium blue, button-down tunic and khaki capris, with brown boots. She didn't have any weapons, seeing as she just came to Middle Earth, whereas the other seven had been in Middle Earth for a while.

After a few moments of silence, the girls woke up. After looking around and rolling their eyes, one noticed that they had a new addition. One of the twins looked up to the new addition on top.

"Hi there, Lauren! Whatcha doing in Middle Earth?" The light brunette - Lauren - looked up in surprise, then jumped off the pile and looked around. The fifteen year old was trying so hard to not squeal in excitement, when she noticed her "apprentice" was still asleep.

"Michelle! Get up!"

LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR

Michelle's POV

LOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTRLOTR

I was still sleeping when I heard a familiar voice shout to me, "Michelle, get up will ya? We're in Middle Earth!"

I looked up at Lauren, then looked around. "Oh, she dropped us off at the Council of Elrond, huh?" 1- I was tired and 2- nothing surprised me anymore.

Lauren rolled her eyes, while everyone else was getting up.

However, before we could go anywhere or our volume had a chance to increase, Lord Elrond's commanding voice rang out, continuing on with what most likely had happened before.

"Never before has any voice uttered the words of that tongue here in Imladris." Elrond told Gandalf angrily and sternly. So what, did Gandalf's Black Speech pull us to this point in particular? It was my black speech reading that brought the fellowship to our world... I shivered when I saw Gandalf looking at us suspiciously, and even giving Bee and I a slightly familiar look, before looking towards Elrond.

"I do not ask your pardon, Master Elrond, for the Black Speech of Mordor may yet be heard in every corner of the West! The Ring is altogether evil." The wizard gave Boromir a harsh stare, then sat back down next to Frodo with a flourish of his staff for emphasis.

"It is a gift...a gift to the foes of Mordor!" Boromir started standing to make a case to the Council, ignoring our direction, before continuing. "Why not use this Ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, held the forces of Mordor at bay... by the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy... let us use it against him!"

We watched(mentally booing Boromir's stupidity) as Aragorn exclaimed, "You cannot wield it. None of us can. The one ring answers to Sauron alone...it has no other master!" In my mind, I was quoting everyone.

Boromir looked at Aragorn angrily, before saying,

"And what would a ranger know of this matter?"

Then Legolas jumped out of his seat and I jumped up from my spot and I stole his line, saying, "This is no mere Ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn."

Just then Lauren jumped up and she and Legolas said at the same time, "You owe him your allegiance."

Boromir just scoffed before saying in disbelief, "Aragorn? This is Isildur's heir?"

"And heir to the throne of Gondor." I sassed the Steward's son. I've always wanted to do that. Well, before he met me, and when I actually had a chance...

Then Aragorn told us, " Havo dad, Legolas, hin."

Lauren straightened, sassing, "How are we children?"

I set a hand on her shoulder, "Compared to them, Lauren?" She caught what I meant and made an "O" with her mouth, before sitting down with me.

"Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king." Boromir spat before he sat down just as Legolas did.

"Aragorn is right... we cannot use it." Gandalf said matter-of-factly when everyone had calmed down.

"You have now only one choice - the ring must be destroyed," I piped up from my spot, earning surprised looks from everyone on the fact that I knew stuff. I just winked at them with sass. Everyone looked at Elrond, who nodded in approval.

Just then Gimli stood and said, "Well then...what are we waiting for?" Right as he slammed his axe down onto the Ring, splintering the axe blade; and the Ring remained untouched. The twins, Lauren, and I all flinched at the wave of power it sent.

"The ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess. The ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom, only there can it be unmade. It must be taken deep into Mordor, and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you must do this." I noticed Boromir shift in his seat and when he spoke I played the "Lord of the Rings: Re-enacted by Ponies" in my head.

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust...the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly," Boromir said to the Council, his voice rising while he spoke.

"Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The ring must be destroyed," Legolas exclaimed, standing up.

"And I suppose you think you're the one to do it?" Gimli sneered, standing up as well, glaring at the blue eyed elf.

"And if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his?" Boromir said to everyone, standing again.

"I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an Elf!" Gimli yelled. Which started a fight that everyone was involved in, excluding Aragorn, myself, the twins, Sarah, and Frodo. Bee, Heaven, Aryana, and Lauren were "involved," in the argument, mostly shouting, "Bickering! I love bickering! Bicker bicker bicker!" or "The ring must be destroyed! It mustn't be destroyed! I'll take it! What? No, SHE OVER THERE will take it!"

Us girls who weren't involved were trying to make it seem like we didn't know them. We (including Aragorn) made sure to not get involved until Frodo cried, "I will take it...I will take it."

When nobody quieted down, I grabbed Aryana, reached behind her, grabbed her megaphone, then let her go. I lifted the megaphone to my mouth and pressed the button, first letting there be feedback, to get everyone's attention. Once I had it, I yelled into it, "Mr. Baggins has something to say," so I had everyone's solid attention. I stepped aside, letting Frodo step forward.

"I will take the Ring to Mordor," Everyone looked at the hobbit in shock. Gandalf seemed to wince at Frodo's statement, "Though...I do not know the way," Frodo finished, more unsure of himself now. Gandalf stood and kneeled by the hobbit.

"I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear."

Then I grabbed everyone's hands, dragging them over to him and knelt next to Frodo and spoke for everyone.

"Our services are at your disposal if you wish. We will join you." I looked up at Frodo, who nodded nervously.

I then stood by Frodo, following Gandalf's actions. The girls stood behind me. Aragorn then rose and went to Frodo, kneeling in front of the Hobbit.

"If, by my life or death, I can protect you, I will... you have my sword." Bee and I exchanged a grin, sharing the same thought of the "Lord of the Beans" scene.

Aragorn then copied our actions and stood near Frodo. We watched Legolas walk over.

"And you have my bow." He then stood by Aragorn. When Gimli walks over tells him, "And my axe." 'As soon as you get a new one...' I mentally added, smirking.

He then stood near Legolas and Boromir spoke up, saying,

"You carry the fate of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done." Boromir then stood by Legolas when the group here a cry and Heaven, Bee, Lauren, and I grinned, remembering from the movie/book.

"Oi! Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me," Sam stood next to Frodo, in front of Aryana, and crossed his arms.

"No, indeed...it is hardly possible to separate you...even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not." Elrond smiled while Sam just shifted uncomfortably and Aryana laughed. Then Pippin and Merry come running onto the scene.

"Oi! We're coming too! You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us."

"Anyway...you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission...quest...thing..." Pippin stuttered with confidence. He's so cute! Calm down, Michelle.

"Well, that rules you out, Pip." Merry muttered. Pippin nodded, looking at Merry, then did a double take, causing me to giggle ferociously. My favorite scene. Then Elrond looked at our group before announcing,

"Seventeen companions ... so be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring." Roll credits... oh.

Then Pippin opened his mouth and said, "Great. Where are we going?"

And the group just stared at him, either mentally or actually rolling their eyes at the Took. Then we all dispersed away gathering what we would need for this Quest, Gandalf and Elrond taking us eight to a side room to discuss what we knew et cetera. Well, this will be so much fun...

OCSluvr: Hiya, guys! So, I was up till 5 in the morning(getting exactly 4 and a half hours of sleep... tired...) working on this from my iPad(which was being a fart on all the editing etc., and I was too lazy to reach over to my desk to grab my laptop - which I am on now...).

Also, I just thought I should put up a chapter before the New Year(hope everyone had a wonderful time with their friends and families this year! X3 ), since you all lovely readers deserve it... Do I sound like I'm sucking up to y'all to anyone besides me? Well, I am... PLEASE REVIEW! X3

Merry (late) Christmas, Happy (almost) New Year, Happy Chanukah(did it pass already? I dunno, I'm not Jewish), and I hope those who have seen BotFA enjoyed it and/or hated it as much as my dad and I did(we have a love/hate relationship with the movies - we love most things about LotR and the Hobbit, but we hate how much PJ strayed from the plot (AKA - Tom Bombadil, Tauriel, Legolas,... need I say more?))! X3

Please review, follow, and favorite! OCSluvr is out!
