I am sorry this took so long! I am going to respond to individual reviews in the front of the chapters now. Oh, and there is no Celeborn the Cookie Monster in this chapter. Or the next. It's in the one after that. Sorry, I miscalculated.
freefornow: yes, I agree. Cupcake155: *hand you huge stick of virtual elvish cotton candy* Thank for the curry suggestion! JustAReviewer: Thank you so much! I also wish to thank you for all your wonderful reviews on my other stories-I love them, and they are very fun to read! Thanks! FandomFangirl100: Yes, that chapter is awesome, isn't it? Jesus' girl 4ever: Thanks! :D ccgaylord: Sorry that depressed you. Did the candy help? Rousdower: *hands you a pack of Gumdalf's gum* Yes, Candy Angst! Oh, the tragedy! Elektra Elentari: *hands you a Gondorian burger* Thanks! Phillip Callaway: Here's the update you requested!
(The Fellowship is asleep. Gummywormreil walks by in silence. Frodo wakes up with a start and proceeds to follow her. Gummywormreil walks into a kitchen and puts a pot on the stove. She takes a jar of corn syrup off the shelf, and turns towards Frodo, not surprised to see him there)
GUMMYWORMRIEL:
Will you eat some corn syrup?
FRODO:
What will happen if I do?
GUMMYWORMREIL:
Even the wisest cannot tell. For corn syrup is an ingredient in many things.
(She pours the corn syrup into the cooking pot and turns the heat on low)
GUMMYWORMREIL:
Things that were eaten, things that are being eaten and some things… that have not yet been chewed.
(Frodo steps up to the pot and picks up a spoon. He takes a spoonful of corn syrup and slowly eats it. He then peers down into the pot and sees nothing but his reflection. Then suddenly the syrup clears and shows a vision of Lasagnalas, Merry and Pippin, then SodaSam. He sees M&M End, then invasions of dentists attack Candy Land, grabbing everyone and brushing their teeth. The hobbits scream in pain. Then suddenly the smiling face of the Head Dentist fills the entire pot. The Braces hanging from Frodo's neck pulls him closer to the corn syrup. Steam begins to curl up from the basin as the Head Dentist speaks to Frodo in Dental Speech. Terrified, he grabs the Braces and jerks back, throwing himself off the step and landing on his back on the floor)
GUMMYWORMREIL:
I know what it is you saw. For it is also in my mind. It is what will come to pass if you should fail. The Fellowship is breaking. It has already begun. He will try to take the Braces. You know of whom I speak. One by one it will straighten all their teeth.
FRODO:
If you ask it of me, I will give you the One Pair of Braces.
(Opening his palm, Frodo offers the Braces to her)
GUMMYWORMREIL:
You offer them to me freely. I do not deny that my teeth have greatly desired this.
(She approaches Frodo, her hand open. Her image begins to change)
GUMMYWORMREIL:
In place of a head Dentist, you will set up a queen! Not with clean teeth but with candy and awesome as the sweets! Treacherous as the peanuts! Stronger than the foundations of Jawbreakers! All shall chew with me and despair!
(She returns to normal with a scared look on her face)
GUMMYWORMREIL:
I pass the test! I will make candy, and go into the West, and remain Gummywormreil.
FRODO:
My teeth cannot do this alone.
GUMMYWORMREIL:
Do you only have one tooth?
FRODO:
Of course not!
GUMMYWORMREIL:
Then they are not alone.
FRODO:
Then I know what I must do. It's just… I'm afraid to chew it.
(Gummywormreil bends down to meet him at eye level)
GUMMYWORMREIL:
Even the smallest tootsie roll can change the course of the future.
