Hey, I just realized you have no idea what Fran looks like, so I'm going to
verbally paint you a picture of Fran Range and my other characters which
have now been introduced. I also know that this was once posted under the
chapter 3 thingie as an author's note. FF.net has just informed me that
that is illegal. (Whoops!) I'm now just gonna post this with chapter 4.
Enjoy ya'll!
*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Fran Range: 5' 7", dark green eyes, wears contact lenses that turn her eyes green, Shoulder length black hair with white streaks in it. Wears dark eyeliner 24/7 and chap stick as makeup.
Derrick Fritter: about 5' 5", blue eyes, short brown hair that sort of sticks out in the front toward you. The most beautiful eyes I-or Fran has ever seen. Has a few freckles scattered across his cheeks.
Eliza: 6' brown eyes with contacts, bushy/ curly red hair always pulled back into a pony tail. Is never seen out of a T-shirt and khakis or jeans. Braces.
Nicole: About 5' 5". A lil shorter than shoulder length strawberry blonde/brownish hair. Green eyes. Freckles everywhere! Stocky build is very muscular.
Forest: About 5' 6" Short goes every which way blonde hair. Blue eyes, black glasses. Never seen out of his Vanguard hoodies.

Disclaimer: This is getting mildly entertaining. I don't own anything but look I can do the happy dance with my lovely little monkey!!! La la la......
Chapter 4: In the Words of a Story.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^
To explain the next few days would be a boring and painstaking process that I really do not feel like telling you right now. However I will tell you that when Fran's father got home she wished she was crazy. It seems that Howard Range is not exactly a kind of person to accept a hobbit in his living room very easily. Nonetheless, after about a day or so Merry seemed like a part of the household. It was almost as if he had been there all along.
Fran and Velma went to school like they always did, and Merry stayed home with their mother and cat (mind you this cat was hypoallergenic even with it's ten tons of fur). At school Fran explained to her friends the predicament and even had Derrick back her up. Her friends finally consented to 'humor' her, thinking that she had gotten Derrick up to it, just cause he lived next to her. However, when she brought in her pictures of Merry sitting on the couch with his feet up, they changed their minds quickly.
Derrick came over frequently and he found out some amazing facts about Middle Earth and about Fran. It had become a bit of a ritual. Fran would call, Derrick would walk over and then stay till dinner, or even stay for dinner. The afternoon after the last day of school before winter break Derrick was over as usual, and Fran was telling him about the 3rd movie that she was going to go see with her friends that night.
"Honestly I would recommended to see the first two, but it's going to be so awesome!" she glowed.
"I'm almost afraid to see it," Merry mumbled staring at the T.V. like he usually did. It turned out that Mr. Brandybuck was a VERY LAZY hobbit.
"After all you've told me about the books I doubt I would need to read them," Derrick laughed.
"True dat, true dat." Fran agreed giggling, "DUDE! You should come with us tonite! I doubt dad'll care about having to tote you around."
"I'd love to come, Merry are you going to go?" Merry looked at the young boy and didn't say a word.
"Merry and I have already talked about this," Fran explained, "I've noticed that in the books Merry was well out of his tweens, but now. he's not supposed to have gone on the journey yet. I'm afraid of what this could mean if he knew what was held in store for him in the future."
"I didn't realize that. Sorry Mer. What are you going to do, while we're gone?"
"I don't know, I thought I'd sit around maybe play with the wee one that where's the pink all the time. Nothing to interesting."
"Just don't let Velma dress you up like she did when you first got here." Fran warned. The hobbit's face contorted into a grimace as he thought of the horrible cross-dressing memory.
"Fran? Do you remember when you and Eliza and Nicole were saying those things in elvish to us?" Derrick asked turning his attention to the girl.
"You mean on the trip to the aquarium?"
"Yeah, what was it you were saying actually?"
"Well, really all we were saying was that ya'll are stupid and ya dress funny," she said playing with her hair.
"Yeah, but what was it that you said? You told me yourself it was the opposite of cussing us out!"
"I said, 'Amin mela lle" she replied curtly.
"Yeah, but what did you really say? Or did you really cuss me out and you just won't admit it?"
"Excuse me?"
"You don't want me to know that you cussed me out."
"And why wouldn't I want you to know that?"
"Because you've fallen madly in love with me that's why!"
"I hate to break up this conversation," Fran's mom butt in, "But I'm going off to work, Fran. Derrick are you going to the movies with Fran and her friends?"
"Yes Mrs. Range." He replied.
"Then you need to call your mom, and Fran you need to tell your father," said turning away and heading out the door.
"Love ya mom! Have a good night!" Fran called after her mother, "Derrick go ahead and call your mom, I'll go tell dad he's got an extra passenger." Derrick went and got permission and soon they were all back to sitting on the couch.
"I wanna know why you think Fran is in love with you," Merry asked looking intently at the taller boy.
"Yeah me too!" Fran agreed, "Derrick?" His eyes darted around the room nervously.
"I. I was just bein' stupid! You know me, I always say crazy things like that!" he replied stammering. Fran laughed loudly.
"Yeah, you act stupid a lot!" she teased. Well, Derrick wouldn't take that lying down.
"Oh really?"
"Really!"
"Alright then!" and with that Derrick tackled Fran and started tickling her.
"Oy! What are you doing?" shouted Merry.
"Aaaah!!! Stop Derrick stop!!!" she giggled, "Come on that's enough!!!!" He stopped tickling her. She took a moment to fix her hair and catch her breath. Suddenly she jumped on Derrick and began tickling him!
"Hey! That's uncalled for!" he laughed and got away from her easily. Then the two jumped on Merry!
"OY! OOF! GERROFF!!!! OY GERROFF!!!!" he yelled squirming and laughing and crying and just having a fantastic time.
"What's going on in there?" Fran's dad yelled from upstairs.
"Nothing dad!" she yelled up trying to stifle her giggles.
"Well, keep it down. I can't hear myself think!" he yelled back.
Derrick couldn't hold it any longer, he burst out laughing. Fran and Merry soon followed. Her father yelled down again and they had to change the subject to something more. calm.
"So, Merry, what are you gonna do about being here in Earth?" Derrick asked looking at the hobbit sitting between him and Fran.
"I don't know, honestly. I once thought that I would love to go to another world, but now that I am, it's.different. I miss my family. My cousins. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be."
"Oh Merry! I'm sorry, if there is anything I can do for you tell me!" Fran said grasping the hobbit's hand in hers, "I feel awful. I feel helpless, I wish I could offer some sort of advice, but there's nothing in this empty head of mine!"
"Don't say that! Your head is not empty!" Merry snapped, "There's nothing you can do, or offer. You're a tween like me, there isn't much a tween can do."
"Oh Merr! I'll get you home. I promise! I don't know how yet, but I swear on my own grave that I will get you home."
"Don't make promises you can't keep!" he warned.
"Don't act like my mother!" she teased and grasped the hobbit in a mighty hug. She looked over his shoulder at Derrick who had been watching the whole thing. Her eyes clouded with tears as she thought of how she would feel if she were to have been separated from her family. It made her so lonely, and motivated her to help Merry even more.
----------------------------------
Fran and Devin had been gone about an hour and Merry was sitting in Fran's room alone. It was really the only place he could be alone at the moment. With Fran gone, Velma was all over him. She was an okay kid, but she thought that Merry was the best thing since sliced bread, and that isn't necessarily the best thing in the world.
He sat on her bed for a moment, and then moved to the floor. He sat there, Indian style for about 10 minutes, and then flopped back onto his back. He lay there for what seemed like an eternity, but it only turned out to be 15 minutes. He rolled over onto his stomach. As he lay at floor level he looked out onto the carpet. Lying under Fran's desk was a book. It was paperbound and had the picture of a short man holding a sword. If he didn't know any better he would have said that the guy was a hobbit.
He opened it and flipped through the pages absently. Every now and then his eyes would land on a word. About mid way through the book his eyes fell on a very interesting word. His eyes grew large as he read the sentence. He continued to read. He read the page, then the next, and the next. He was soon finished with the chapter. He flipped the book over. On the cover it read: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
--------------------------------
"That was an AWESOME movie!!!" Fran exclaimed.
"Yeah, that was just about the most perfect ending," gushed Tami who had seen it for about the 3rd time.
"Can we see it again?" Eliza asked laughing and jumping up and down. The others looked at her and raised an eyebrow. Derrick stood next to Fran, feeling a little out of place. He knew that none of her friends really wanted him there. He had even seen Forest and Nicole pulled her over and ask her if she realized he was with her. She got really protective and stood up for him. A week ago that would have never happened.
"So what did you think Derrick?" asked Tami.
"Me?" he asked not sure if she really meant him.
"No the other Derrick standing next to you." Nicole sarcastically shrieked.
"OH! I liked it! It's actually a lot more interesting than I had initially thought." The others stared at him in silence.
"You're gonna have to stick to 5 letter words or less around here, Derrick," Fran informed smiling.
"Hey!" The group protested. She just laughed and flagged her dad down out in the parking lot.
"Later guys, come on Derrick, I'll have dad drop you off at your place!" Everyone said good-bye and they soon watched the group fade into the night.
-----------------------------------
Fran was exhausted. She trudged up the stairs to her room. She figured Merry was in there. It was about 12 o'clock! She opened the door to see the poor little hobbit passed out on the floor of her room.
"Poor little Merr Bear," she cooed rolling out the sleeping bag he slept on and laying him gently on it. She unbuttoned the first few buttons on his tunic and then zipped the zipper on the bag. Her mom was going to go get some clothes for him the next day. Fran had a cousin about Merry's size and luckily he was getting rid of some clothes.
Fran undressed and got ready for bed. When she came back from the restroom, she pulled her hair out of it's ponytail and accidentally flung it across the room. It landed near where Merry had been laying. She had to crawl on the floor to find it cause of her contacts not being in anymore. When she finally found it she discovered something else too. Laying under her bed was the first Lord of the Rings book.
"Odd." she thought, "I had dropped that under my desk weeks ago, how'd it get here?" She glanced down at the sleeping hobbit, "Oh my." she thought, "I have got a lot of explaining to do." And with that she flopped onto her bed and fell into a deep sleep.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^***^*^*^*^**^* ^
Okay ya'll here's the thing.. I have not seen ROTK yet, but I will see it tomorrow. My good buddy panda got to see it last night at midnight, but anywho. I don't know if it's wonderful or not. I'm just guessing. DON'T HOLD IT AGAINST ME!!!!!
Also, I've read a really cool story by Blue Flame Angel. It's super awesome, sadly I cannot remember the title. But you can find by clicking on her name in the reviews page, cause she's reviewed my story, and as always I will recommend some awesome any type fanfiction by Pyscopanda. It's awesome read it! Also someone asked me if I could really speak elvish. No, I just know a few words and phrases. Sorry! I this lil dictionary type thing from a bud o' mine and I don't know where she got it. Later ya'll. Amin mela lle!!!!!!- DB:D
I LOVE MONKEYS!!!!!!!
