Just as Silver went to stop Jack pulling everything out of one of the cupboards, Billy, Charlie and Col came in. Billy winced when he saw the strange position Risty was lying in, then sat on Silver's bed and began to stroke Shadow.
"You know something you guys," he said seriously. "We've all read the LotR books and we've all seen the movie, right?"
"Yeah" Silver briefly looked at him and gave a yell as Jack sunk his teeth into her finger. Upon hearing her cry of pain, Jack began to giggle hard.
"Well" Billy continued. "This might be me just forgetting things, but I don't believe that there was a dinner in honour of Galadriel and Celeborn in the books. Was there?"
"I don't think so," Risty said after a moment. "Hey, that is weird."
"Do you think that us being here has screwed everything up?" Silver asked. "I mean this means that we don't know everything that is going to happen. I just hope that we don't get dragged along with the fellowship on their dangerous quest. Hell, I doubt we'll get home alive if that happened."
"Oh don't be such a spoilsport" Risty muttered good-naturedly. "It could be fun. Right Billy?"
Charlie and Col nodded enthusiastically.
"Don't drag me into this" Billy held up his hands and Shadow jumped at him, knocking him back onto his back. "If we had to go with them, well I wouldn't complain too much.as long as someone was willing to teach me how to use a sword. But I can also understand Silver's point of view, after all she does have Jack to look after and he is a right handful. You cannot take a ten-month-old baby on a quest across Middle Earth. Still at least she has Shadow with her. I just wish Laddie were here."
"Laddie would be a damn sight more useful at protecting us then Shadow" Silver started to say. Suddenly there was a blinding flash of light and when it had disappeared, Billy's German Shepard should in front of them. He barked and threw himself on Billy, who found himself being pawed to death by both dogs. Silver, Rhian, Col, Charlie and Risty looked amazed.
"How did that happen?" Silver wondered aloud. "Let's see if it will work again. I wish Sean Bean was here." She waited a moment, but nothing happened.
"Too bad, Silver" Billy smirked, sitting up and pushing the dogs off him. "Well now we have a mad dog and a guard dog. Shadow can keep Gimli in line and Laddie can murder anything that looks even the least bit dangerous. I just wonder how Elrond is going to adjust to two dogs wandering about the place."
"And I'm just wondering why the hell we agreed to do something at this dinner tonight" Silver muttered in despair. "Billy the only talents I have are in karate and story writing and I haven't done karate for over a year. What am I supposed to do?"
"Well we have a few hours" Billy shrugged. "Just write them a short story. Something about dragons and trolls and stuff. They'll like that. More to the point, what am I supposed to do? I'm pretty good at sport, but I don't think that is going to be much use here."
"You are pretty good at singing" Silver said. Risty and Rhian started laughing and Billy blushed. "No I mean it" Silver said seriously. "He can do lots of songs and he doesn't need the music either. You could sing for them."
"All right" Billy nodded. "Sounds good. What am I singing?"
"Um." Silver thought for a moment. "Sing 'Brother My Brother'. That's an easy song and it's a nice one too. Or you could always sing the Poddington Peas theme song" she continued with a grin. "Jack likes that."
"Piss off" Billy grinned back at her. "Right then, I had better go and practise my song, hadn't I?"
"I think that might be a good idea," Risty agreed. "And Silver, hadn't you better get started on your story?"
Billy disappeared off to the boys room, Charlie, Col and Laddie in tow. Jack had fallen asleep so Silver put him down on her bed with Shadow and took out the notebook and pen she carried at all times. The girls could hear Billy begin to sing while Charlie strummed his guitar. Risty smiled at her and carried on reading as Silver started scribbling away, muttering under her breath. It was completely peaceful until Merry and Pippin looked around the door...
