~*~ A/N: I had a bloody hard time getting through this chapter! I think I'm developing a block!!! *~*~
"Guys.. this is insane," said De to Lily and Kris, as they readied to go on the journey. "We had a plan.. I liked the plan.. so why are we going with them?"
Kris raised her eyebrows, and glanced to Lily.
"Um.." Kris started, but Lily interrupted her.
"We're going along because we want to! I know, I know, I said.. the other me, I mean, said we should be back by midnight, but honestly. What's the worst that could happen?"
Kris blinked, looking at Lily. "That's the one thing you never, ever say Lily. Everything's always going fine until someone says, 'Well, gee, what's the worst that could happen?'!"
Lily shook her head, and laughed. "Nonsense. Come along, we've dreamed about this forever and ever! This is The Fellowship of the Ring! De, come on. You mean to tell me you don't want to spend more time with Aragorn."
"We could've spent a lot of time with him if we would've KIDNAPPED him like we were going to do," said De reasonably, and Lily turned to Kris.
"Help me out here, Kris. I mean, you want to spend time with the hobbits, right? We could help the Fellowship so much! Imagine what we could do for them, we know everything that's going to happen!"
"It isn't wise to play with fate," said De softly, but then shook her head. "Fine, Lily. It's your choice, so I suppose we'll stay."
"Excellent! There's just the little matter of what to do with the booth."
Eventually, they decided to leave the telephone booth under the care of Elrond. He promised to look after it, but was quite unsure as to what, exactly, it was. After that, they borrowed swords, and were ready to accompany the men.
"Hey, guys," whispered Kris, and Lily and De turned to look at her. "How much are we going to tell them? I mean.. are we going to warn them of Gandalf's falling and Boromir's death?"
Lily and De looked puzzled for a moment, and then they both shrugged.
"I suppose we'll see to that when the time comes," said De gently, and then they set off with the Fellowship.
As they took a break, just below the mountains of Caradharas, De sat close to Aragorn, catching his eye every now and then and smiling sweetly. Kris and Lily watched as Boromir taught Pip and Merry to swordfight. Behind them, smooth as a cat, Legolas hopped from one rock to another, his eyes fixed on a point to the west.
"Birds," said De softly.
"Those are no birds," said Aragorn softly, and they all jumped back in astonishment as a telephone booth shot down and landed just feet from where they sat.
"Oh, blimey," said Kris softly, and the three girls stood up.
"What sort of devilry is this?" demanded Boromir, and Lily shook her head.
"No devilry.. just.. a time machine."
The other Lily stepped from the Telephone Booth, her arms crossed. Kris and De followed her, all of them looking rather angry.
"You know.. when I said 'Be back by midnight', I meant it," said Lily with a glare. "You weren't supposed to join the Fellowship!"
"Technically, we didn't join them.. we're just accompanying them," corrected Kris, and was met only by glares.
"What is going on?"asked Gandalf, looking at the telephone booth and the three girls who stepped out of it.
"I'd like to know that as well," said Aragorn softly.
"All right," said Lily with a sigh, "Here's what happened."
"So we looked up the number, and here we are," finished Kris, and was met by a lot of blinking and puzzled stares.
"But why did you come here?" asked Gimli, puzzled.
Kris giggled, and turned to Lily and De. "It's a funny story, actually.. we wanted to meet you. All of you, but some of you more than others," she glanced at Pippin, then looked down, blushing.
"You came all this way.. to meet us?" asked Merry, his eyes wide.
"Yea," said De softly. "I mean.. you guys are the best! The Fellowship of the ring? It's amazing. A lot of people from my world would love to come here."
"I am not sure whether to be honored or frightened," said Boromir, glancing at Lily. "But I am rather glad you came here. This makes for a rather interesting journey."
"To say the least," added Aragorn.
~*~ A/N: I think that sucked. But, anyway, hopefully more, better stuff to come soon. *~*~
