It's a new and happy morning in the Middle-Earth camp. As the day before, Gandalf runs around like a mad man, yelling "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" through the keyholes to every door he sees. Unfortunately, not only the doors that belongs to the Fellowship. One thing leads to another, so Gandalf opens a door, and inside, he sees a strange sight: A man, with an "I'm Spanish (Though I'm really a German!)"-pyjamas, is taking a shot. Gandalf, doing his normal waking, yells "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" to the guy with the shot. Gandalf notes the room mistake, shouts "Oh crap! Wrong room!" and runs out.

At the breakfast table, Gandalf tells the rest of the Fellowship about this day's activity, which involves Gimli and a snowboard. "Oh no," Gimli shouts, "I am no snowboarder!"
"Oh, it's pretty easy to be a snowboarder", Pippin says, "you just have to speak like this: Yo! Waz' up in da hood, homie! Oh you mother******!"
"Where did you learn to talk like that," asks Frodo, "surely not in the Shire?"
"Oh no, Bergil (Beregond's son, you dumbass, you!) taught me a lot of things when I was hanging around in Minas Tirith." So, in the cab to the snowboard area, Pippin teaches Gimli some snowboard phrases. When they get there, Gimli talks like he was born with a snowboard on his legs, instead of an axe in his hands. Gandalf fixes Gimli a cool Burton snowboard with his genius staff. The extra gear contains shoes and a helm. The problems starts when Gimli realises that his leather outfit, don't match at all with his new, sky blue boots. He throws the helm away, saying: "Only mithril will work in this scary competition, I can use my own." Gandalf raises his eyebrows, thinking, "You are as silly as a hobbit!" but says nothing. Gimli gives Frodo his beloved axe.
"You promise not to use it, or destroy it?" Gimli says. "I trust you the most…"
"Hey! What about me?" says Legolas, in disappointed voice. "I thought you trusted me the most?"
"Of course I do, but then everyone will think that we are gay! And we are not, are we?"
Legolas murmurs, but is not arguing any further.
"Gimli! Up to the top of the half-pipe, the competition starts any minute," says Gandalv and pushes the Dwarf.
"Oh no!" says Merry, "Is my pipe broken in two? Where is the halfs?"
"You silly Brandybuck!" says Gandalf. "That half-pipe!" He points with his staff, on the half-pipe of snow.
"Oooooh…" says the two small hobbits.

Well, the game begins, and there, Gimli is about to start. What happens in the commentator box? "Oh, exciting, a new snowboarder! He is Gimli, Gloins son, and from the country of … Middle-Earth? Hmmm, strange… And oh! he is a Dwarf, I daresay… There he goes, up to the top, he's in the air, and does a snacksy little … fall. That wasn't even a 90 I think. He's up again, there, oh! Great! a McTwist! He will get some points for that one… If he hadn't finished with falling, again. Man, he sucks! What else should we expect from a new guy, he is only 259 years old… Misprint here, I guess."

"Merry, wake up! You must see the characters Gimli gets!" says Pippin and pushes Merry, so he nearly falls down from his seat.
"Did you sleep?" says Gandalf, and sounds like a mother. "You are here to watch Gimli!"
"Sorry, old fucker! Want a beer?" says Merry. Gandalf nods, and grabs the beer Merry gives him.
"Oh, they make indeed great beer in this World…" he says when the characters to Gimli's snowboarding are coming up. They suck pretty much, and he will not go further to the finale.
"I think I must do a spell here," mutters Gandalf. He waves his staff, says the magic words, and "poof", the spell is in action. It is a "make-Gimli-win-this-thing"-spell. Let us see how it works…

By and accident, no one knows how, Gimli is in the finale, even if he should not been there… Gimli is pretty nervous, and keeps on saying: "This cannot go well! I hate Gandalf…" A guy named Daniel (Franck, of course….) walks over to Gimli.
"It will be okey, homie," he says. "My head is in great pain, and I'll drive as well. Don't hate this Gandalf, is that your ex-girlfriend? "
"No," says Gimli. "Thanks for the support. Good luck!"
"Thanks mate," says Daniel, before he spots a nice girl and says: "Oh, schpaa kaebe!" (for those who are not Norwegian, I can inform about that "schpaa kaebe" is Norwegian/Pakistani slang for nice girl). Back to Gimli. He is now doing a much better ride, and gets much better points. I am not going to make this as a long story, so let us just say that Gimli wins the Silver! The Fellowship is screaming and yelling, Gandalf shouts "Gimli, my dear ass, you made it!!!"
"Was the beer I gave him that strong?" wonders Merry.
"I heard that one!" says Gandalf.
"Oh, don't do anything mean to me!" says Merry ironic.

As yesterday, Aragorn's banner goes up, but Boromir is not allowed to play, because Middle-Earth didn't win today. Boromir gets rather grumpy, but cheers when Gimli gets his medal. After a long and exciting day, the Fellowship goes back to their hotel rooms. On the way Sam runs in to a souvenir shop and buys a t-shirt with the print: "My husband went to Salt Lake City, and all I got, was this lousy t-shirt!"
"It's for Rosie, you know," says Sam to Frodo.
"Oh, cool," says Frodo.

Then the Fellowship fell asleep after Gimli's snowboard stunt.

~This was third chapter, but there are coming more up as soon as I can write them… There are still a lot of unanswered questions, even I if think I cleared up in the Gimli-Legolas-gay-thing… (They are not. They are only very good friends…) But are Gandalf alcoholic? Will they get home? Thanks to all who review positive things!" ~
