AN/ Alright alright, I know I know! 'Another Hobbit fanfic about someone from earth being dropped off in midddle-earth' but I PINKY PROMISE this one will be worth reading~
Work was seriously killing me. I yanked my starbucks apron from around my neck and wiped my face. College and work were so much for me at this point in my life, and on top of that my car just broke down. You would think walking three blocks wasn't the longest walk, but after classes, dance, and work, a girl can defintly get tired. I took a turn down the street that my apartment was located on when I heard a gunshot. After that, everything faded into black.
I opened my eyes and squinted at the sunlight. Did I seriously fall asleep outside? How drunk was I last night? I rubbed my eyes and let them get used to the sunlight when I realized there was grass underneathe me. It wasnt typical for New York city to have alot of grass, especially not like this. I stood up and felt a bit wobbily. I noticed right off the bat I was changed into a pair of my favorite leggings and t-shirt, and was no longer wearing my starbucks uniform. Looking around, I noticed, there were doors in hills. Why the hell are there doors going into hills? I walked from the field I had woke up on and headed to a small dirt road. I looked to my left and saw a tall man with gray hair and quite a long beard talking to a short, stout man. It seemed like they were arguing but none the less, I needed to know where I was. Before I could reach the two men the shorter one had went inside and shut the door, then I noticed the taller one was doing something to his door. Then, in a split second he was walking out of the gate and down the road, the opposite way. I tried running to catch him but I found I was wore out. I had absolutley no energy. I guess that's what happens when you decide to sleep ina field. I rolled my eyes and decided to knock on the other mans door, seeing as it was much closer and easier than chasing after the older man. I opened the gate and knocked lightly on the circular,green door. It flew open and I came face to face with a man a few inches shorter than me.
"Yes?"The short man said to me while he leaned on the left side of his hip.
"Um, I was wondering if you could tell me where I am. I'm lost and have no clue as to where I am."I explained to him. His eyebrows furrowed as he looked at me from top to bottom a couple times. "Is everything okay?" I asked him. He actually seemed very confused.
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry. You are in Hobbington, in particualry at Bag End." He said to me. I tilted my head extremely confused.
"Hobbington? Bag End? Where is that?"
"It's in Hobbington. I'm not exactly sure what your question is."
Clearly he was more confused than I was. "What state is that in?"
"Well, it looks to be in quite a good one. Sure there are a few rough patches here and there, but the grass is green, and everything is growing just fine."
"No, no, no. What state is Hobbington in? California, Mississippi, Virginia?"
"What's a Mississippi?"
What does he mean 'What's a Mississippi?' He is clearly old enough to know about the 50 states.I rolled my eyes. Maybe I should have went after the older man.
"Look, i'm not sure what kind of game you're trying to play with me, but i'm lost and scared. I've never heard of Hobbington or Bag End! I've heard of America and England and Asia and EARTH! Stop playing with me, it's not funny!" I said in a loud tone. Not quite yelling, but not a normal tone either.
"What are you bloody talking about?" He said extremely confused. Thats when I got dizzy and fell down.
