Chapter Five: Kay the Insane

Disclaimer: No we don't own Monty Python either.

They continued on the next morning with Bethany gallantly leading them on.

"Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot...." Kayla sang merrily skipping in circles around the slowly moving fellowship.

"Energetic lass, isn't she?" Sam commented from the back of the group.

"Let me kill her...." Merry whined dragging his tired feet. Gandalf swiftly whacked her on top of the head with his stick that had a top resembling a glade plug-in as she skipped past him.

"Calm down!" he commanded her.

"OW!! Fine, geez, who took a dump in your grits..."

"Kay, at least try to act as if you were older than three." Katie said in her I-Am-So-Better-Than-You voice, which she uses often.

"Whatever you say, oh high and mighty." She calmed down for at the most five minutes, "Oh, we're knights of the round table...." she sang as she began to skip again. They walked on with little comment before coming to a clearing where they decided to take a break since they all were hungry and tired, except for Kayla who was still hopping about like a insane nymph. (she was a dryad after all)

They all sat down and began to pass around food.

"Sam! Here's yours, Bethany, Kayla....Kayla GET OUT OF THAT TREE AND COME AND GET YOUR LUNCH!" Rosie's voice rang out as she prepared them all sandwiches. Merry was digging around in his pack.

"Has anyone seen my pipe weed?" He asked looking up from his pack. Kayla coughed.

"Er....no.what pipe weed?"

"It was you!"

"You'll have to catch me!" She cried taking off at full speed a small bag trailing from her hand, with Merry and Pippin running after her. She cackled insanely. "MWAHAHAHAHA!" Until she tripped and fell onto the grass of the clearing. A short distance away the rest of the group were doubled over, laughing like mad. Merry and Pippin tackled her, removing the pipe weed from her hands and sitting down next to her.

"You are insane," Merry said checking to make sure his weed was not damaged.

"Very much so," she agreed.

"Why don't you share some of that pipe weed, Merry?" Pippin asked.

"No." They began to argue about weed, not noticing Beth and Katie sneaking up behind them.

"AHHHHH!" the girls screamed at the top of their lungs, scaring the two hobbits into a frenzy.

"Ack! I believe I just crapped myself!" Pippin cried, curling up in the fetal position.

They were all having too much fun to notice something was advancing on them, before they could be prepared they were surrounded. It was Torak.

"So, frolicking in the grass are we?" he asked evilly.

"At least we have people to frolic with," Katie retorted. "No one would want to frolic with you."

Behind her Katie heard some rustling in the grass. She recognized the sound all too well. Kayla. Getting ready for her ninja/dryad act. She groaned in misery.

Kayla advanced on Torak with her arms out in a kung-fu position. She chopped him once on one side of the head, once on the other, kicked him in the unmentionable area (KNICKERBOXER!) and then banged her head on his, causing him to fall over in the grass.

"Thank you, thank you, I'll be here till Thursday," Kayla said, taking a bow.

A shadowy image appeared over Torak. It was....Torak.

"Okay, who's screwing with my brain now?" Katie asked.

"I am! I am!" Pip shouted.

Katie looked at him with a seductive smile, then back to the shadow.

"Luckily he was only my minion," Shadow-Torak said. "If you think defeating me will be that easy, you'd better think again. If you wish to try your luck, journey forth to Gondor."

And with that he vanished.

Beth snapped her fingers. "So that's what that place is called!"
