Disclaimer: OH! Elfy is here to help me write this chapter and even though we are super-geniuses, the characters are not ours, dang it!!! (Elfy: yet......mwahahahahaha) oh and we don't own That song. It's by The Arrogant Worms and it's called 'I am Cow' (no duh). And neither is Monty Python.
They Ate Lunch
So they all trudged into the castle, only to find, that the chef was in a grumpy mood. He did not want to make lunch for 29 craaaaaazy people. But chef Erin did, thinking they were her family. Erin was the worst cook in the entire village so they wondered how on Gaea she got that job. But thinking was hard for our deranged little posse so they didn't. I mean, she was going to make them lunch!! Merry, Pippin and Dilandau really didn't care if she gave them food poisoning.
So Pippin said,"I really care if she gives us food poisoning." ......(we know, Pip)
So Erin went to the kitchen to make God knows what. Meanwhile our little clan sat down in the dining hall but there were not enough chairs. So they sat on the floor. (After all the females offered to sit on Legolas' lap). But Allen didn't want all that attention going to the pretty elf. That number was too much competition. So they on the floor, as I said before.
So they sat around on the very hard, very cold, very rocky stone floor and looked at each other. Interesting. Then, all of a sudden, Hitomi went
"EEEEE!!!!"
But why!
"Where is Millerna!!!!!".....................????
Then, an annoying little voice floating in the air said, "Meow meow meow moew achk meeow"
So then Miguel said " I didn't you knew Gealic, floating voice!"
So Chesta said "Meow"
Everyone was very confused except for Erin, for she was used to it, being stupid and all.
So Gandalf said "I'm hungry! Where's our food!"
Just then, Erin, who had been standing in the doorway, hopped over to everybody
"Hop hop hop! I am the Easter bunny!"
"Go get the food you stupid ditz!" said evil Boromir
Anyways, so this is going nowhere (thanks to Elfy) so, we shall see what the reviewers have suggested.Now we shall ADVANCE the plot!All of a sudden, Erin walked in! Not very exciting, you say? Watch and learn...er read and learn! A big old Balrog stormed into the castle wall...DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!
Dilandau hopped up and ran into it. BUT, it didn't burn him!!!! The Balrog sat Dilandau on his big fiery butt! Then went over to Erin and breathed on her food. Then low and behold, Erin's food was perfect! Of course, being stupid and a horrible chef, she hadn't put the food in the oven. But now, it was done! Erin had finally made the perfect meal! She began to walk over to the others but then, being stupid, she tripped, fell, and the food went splat.
" DANG IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Erin yelled
Meanwhile, Dilandau was still parading around on the Balrog's fiery butt. But then he slipped in the crack!!!
So Sam shouted out " I will follow you into the fiery cracks of DOOOOOOMMM!!!!"
So Frodo said "That was your pledge to me, moron!"
So Sam said ".............oh well!" and he hopped in after Dilandau.
We will now take advantage of this exciting moment to remind the readers that the 50 foot spiders are still out there, for no apparent reason.We now bring you back to your regularly schedualed excitment.....DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!
When Sam found Dilandau, he was pretty hot. But Dilandau wasn't. He was having tea with the mini-Balrogs inside the Balrog's tummy. That made them think, a true mark of a Pokemon master. THIS BALROG WAS A FEMALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AIEEE!
"AIEEE!" said Sam
Dilandau all of a sudden hopped out of the Balrog, and talked to it in Balrogish.
"Parlez-vous, francias???" He said
" Oui, monsieur!!" replied the Balrog
The others were confused. Number one, Dilandau was talking to a Balrog. Number two, the Balrog wasn't trying to drag him down into abyss. And number three, HE WAS SPEAKING FRENCH!!!!!!!!! And with a perfect accent, unlike Erin.
"TOO MINISULTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed.
They stared at her.
"You insulted me, morons!!...." then she muttered to herself "can't these people speak French???"
Dilandau quickly interpreted this to the Balrog
"Blah blahbitty blah blah blah" He said. (The author is too much of a moron to know what this is in French....oh, wait, yes I do!!)
"Tu minsults!" He said to the Balrog
"That's what I said!" Erin muttered under her breathe
Dilandau and the Balrog continued to talk for awhile. Soon, he turned to Erin and wlked over to her.
"Since you are so stupid and such a horrible cook, I shall help you become better so people won't throw up after one bite of your meal." He said
Then, all the little mini-Balrogs popped out of the Balrog in random places and trooped over to Erin.
"They'll help you actually cook your food." Dilandua told the moronic chef.
"Coolies!" replied Erin.
So Erin and the mini-Balrogs trotted off to the kitchen to actually make proper, edible food. Meanwhile, the big Balrog skipped back out of the large hole he had made during his entrance. Dilandau got a bit sniffly but then stopped.
"Farewell, my fiery friend!!! Until we meet again!!!!! MOERO!!!!!" He called to it
"MOOEROOOOO!!!" It replied
People were still confused. Van was staring at Dilandau, as were Allen, Hitomi and Merle, The Dragonslayers were smiling in happiness at the brilliance of their captain, Gandalf and Saruman were muttering to eachother under their breathe, The hobbits were getting really hungry and kept on glancing at the kitchen, The elves were just looking suave and cool, as usual (especially Legolas) and everyone else was just staring at the floor, for no apparent reason. Except for Gollum and Millerna. Where the hell were they?
"Where the hell are Gollum and Millerna?" said evil Boromir
"Don't swear. It's uncouth!" said good Boromir
"Shut up and give the Ring!" said evil Boromir
"I don't have the Ring!"
"Oh, I'm so sure!"
"I don't!!!"
"GAHHH!!!" and he started ripping his clothes and biting himself.
Everyone stared. Aragorn got up and pulled a straight jacket out of his pack and put it on Boromir. After a few strange looks were thrown about, they began to pay attention to what he had said.
"Were ARE Gollum and Millerna??"
"Meow meow meow meow achk meeow" said the annoying floaty voice that has been ignored for a while now.
.........................??? "Huh?" said Gatti
Then they all noticed Gollum jumping up and down, snatching at the air above him.
"What are you doing?" asked Merry
"My precioussssssssss! My precioussssssss!!!! We wants it back!!! PRECIOUSSSSS!!!! Give it to ussssss!
Give it!" he wailed
"Us?" said Van blankly
Folken began to look thoughtful again.
"uh oh. Here we go again." breathed Aragorn
"If I recall correctly, this creature's real name is Smeagol. He was once a hobbit. Once the Ring began to take hold of him, he began to go.....as Gandalf said, a little loopy. He started talking different and often made noises in his throat that sounded like 'Gollum". Hence, the other hobbits bagen to call him Gollum. They soon drove him into exile. He became lonely and started talking to himself as though he were two people." He said
Legolas stared at Folken. Folken noticed.
"Yes?" he asked
"Wow. Your'e smart. I think I've finally found someone who I can have an intelligent conversation with!" He said happily
"Oh good! An intelligent person!! Let us have a good talk!" then he noticed Allen. "As long as Allen doesn't get too jealous,"
Allen was staring darkly at the two intelleegent peoples.....er.....somewhat peoples. He oviously wanted to share hair secrets with Legolas.Legolas shot him a scared look and scarpered off to talk to Folken.
Meanwhile, Gollum was still attacking the air. Finally, he caught an invisible something and dragged onto the ground.
"EEE!!Get it off!! meow meow meow moew achk meeow!!!!!!" That voice said.
Everyone had now realized this voice belonged to Millerna. But she was invisible. Invisible? That would mean that.......
Frodo's hand dove into his pocket. His eyes went wide. Such pretty eyes. Deep, blue eyes. You could get lost in eyes that deep. You are lost in them. You are trapped. You are getting pissed off cuz this author is being moron. You are threatening her to stop. She does. You are no longer lost in those pretty, deep blue eyes thast you could easily get lost in.
"She must be wearing the Ring!!!" The little cutie shouted.
The whole Fellowship cast dove at Gollum struggling with the invisible Millerna.They latched onto her and began searching for her hands. Finally, Legolas found it and he quickly slipped the Ring off her finger. The rest of the cast crawled away. Except Gollum. He was still attacking the now visible Millerna. He bit off her finger that had had the Ring on it and then continued to mangle her.
"Oh Allen! Help me! Meow meow meow meow achk meeow!" she screamed
Allen ignored her and continued to throw dark glares at Legolas' shiny blonde hair. Legolas continued to throw Allen confused scrared looks. Millerna threw everyone desperate looks as Gollum continued to rip her apart.
Soon, the stupid Ms. Aston was only a torso. Everyone started laughing and throwing telephones and photos at her..............???
Gollum was panting and freaking out beside her but had stopped eating her because he had finally realized that she no longer posessed the Ring. Then Millerna looked down at her mangled self and died.
Yes, folks, Millerna Aston was finally dead.
"Hooray!!" yelled the Dragonslayers
"Yay!" yelled Allen, Merle, Hitomi and Van
"Yessssss!!!" yelled Gollum
"YEAH!" yelled the rest of the Esca cast.
The Ring cast stared in wae for a moment but the yelled out "HUZZAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Erin pranced in during the midst of this and then yelled out "OY!!!! HEY!!!"
Nobody payed attention.
"Oy vey. HEY!!! LUUUUUUNCH!!!!!!"
Everyone was still cheering over Millerna's death. Erin stormed over to Boromir (who was still in the straightjacket) and grabbed his horn off his belt and blew it.
"LUNCH!!"
This finally caught everyone's attention. Especially Merry and Pippin's.
"Oh goody!" they proclaimed
Everyone sat down and Erin set the actually real, edible food in front of them. They then sang Fanelia's national anthem
I AM COW
I am cow
hear me moo
I weigh twice as much as you
and I look good on the barbeque
Iam cow, I am cow, hear me moo!
I am cow
eating grass
ethane gas comes out my ass
and out my muzzle when I belch
oh the O-zone layer is thinner from the outcome of my dinner
Iam cow, I am cow, I am cow!!!!
Then they all ate. It was actually good!
"MMMMM! This is actually good!" said Pippin..................(we know, Pip)
So they ate dinner and then they had desert. It was good too.
"MMMMM! This is good too!" said Pippin...........................(we know, Pip)
Then, all of a sudden, Van's eyes went wide. Such pretty eyes. Deep, brown eyes. You could get lost in eyes that deep. I'll shut up now.
"Dude!!! The spiders!!!"
"Dude!" said all the Esca people
"Spiders?" said Elrond
"Yes. Spiders. Before you came, we were going to go find these 50 foot spiders that are on the loose. We forgot about them."
"Let us find them, achk!" shouted Gimli
Saruman rubbed his hands together. 'If I can't have my Uruk-Hai here, perhaps I can use these spiders!'
"Yes, let us find them!" he announced
Before leaving, each of the LOTR cast made a statement. They went as this:
Elrond: we shall be the Fellowship of the spiders.
Aragorn: let's hunt some spider!
Gandalf: *trying to get the door open* Mel-ar! MEL-AR!!!
Saruman: Tonight, you will taste spider flesh
Frodo: I cannot do this alone (Legolas: did we ask you to? If you did, you'd probably screw it up anyways. (ya, it's knida from one of my other stories.))
Sam: Yes, mr. Frodo!!!....hehehe...*twitchtwitch*
Pippin: so. Where areb we going?
Merry: Those spiders are after something.....or someone.
Legolas: Spiders! (Legolas has a knack for oversating the obvious. Remember the movie; orcs!)
Gollum:.....gollum......
Gimli: ACHK!
Boromir: Ni!!! We can be the knights of Ni!!! (see Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Heh.)
And they were off.
A.N.: well, that's it. I finally found some time to write this up. Count on a lot of updates for the next while due to the strike thats going on here in Calgary (or will be happening on Tuesday. It's teacher's convention for the next few days and then Family day on Monday. Huzzah!) Well, hope you liked it! It's basically all I can do lately since I got braces. Ugh. Braces.
