A few days had passed, and the 7 CCCers were quite excited about everything
that was happening. They had arrived, as most of them had assumed, in
Middle-Earth, at the exact time of the beginning of the Lord of the Rings
Trilogy. Bilbo had allowed them to come to 'his' party, despite the fact
that it would throw off the number of guests invited.
"Just pretend we aren't there!" Giada had pleaded.
"Yes, we're not hobbits, so we don't count!" Med had begged, and Bilbo, being his compassionate self, allowed them to stay. At the present, the group was lounging on a hill, discussing the events.
"Only 55 days until my wedding… Oh, it's getting close. We better be back in time!" Dawni mournfully said. "Though I am quite excited to find out what happens. This party looks like it could be awesome!"
"Don't worry, Dawni. We've gone back in time, not just changed positions. Some kind of odd tesseract, I would think. I just wish I knew what exactly caused it. Maybe there's some word or phrase that acted like a port-key…" Giada's voice faded off as she thought about the possibilities.
Sha shook her head. This could change the whole way the Lord of the Rings books were written, which could, in fact, change the course of literature. So many things were inspired and based on Tolkien's works, and here they were, messing it up. And how would they get back? Were they subject to stay here forever? Well, considering I'm writing this story, and I hate when I think strange thoughts like this, we will just skip over what Sha is thinking, and get back to the story.
The 22nd of September arrived sooner than expected, and Bilbo was nearly high with giddiness. The CCCers stood apart from the party, just observing, and were amazed to see it happen just as Tolkien had described it. Proof to Sha that Tolkien did not lie. Kelsie was thinking the exact same thing, but realized that if she brought this up, she would be proven wrong, so she kept her mouth shut, hoping, secretly, silently, that at one point, the events playing out before them would differ from the book and she could point at Sha and let out a great 'ha!' We will see. We will see. But I highly doubt it.
Suddenly, Bilbo disappeared from his spot in front of all the guests.
"Must have given his speech." Med whispered. Heads nodded in agreement. Dawni just blinked with a rather blank expression pasted on her face. 54 days and counting…
The party continued on, without Bilbo's presence, and the CCCers headed back to Bag End. They all, excepting Dawni, knew that Gandalf would be meeting with Bilbo there, and they wanted to get in on the excitement. Gandalf and Bilbo's discussion was carried out, exactly as in the books, and Giada paced impatiently. Things were getting boring. She couldn't wait to meet a certain someone, and that wouldn't happen for at least a day. Med headed back the party.
"I want to meet Merry. You guys can come with me, if you want…"
It was at that instant that a few more CCCers landed in on top of Sha and Kelsie.
"Whoops. Sorry, Sha. HEY! Where are we?" Sham blinked and looked around.
"Sham? Kayla? What are you two doing here?" Constance blinked, rather irate. Of all the people to show up…
"We were just talking about you freaks and how we hadn't seen you in a few days, and then I said I wondered where you were, and here we are." Sham shrugged.
Kayla just blinked and looked around, apparently too shocked for words.
"Welcome to Middle Earth!" Sha beamed.
"You mean, that place you freaks talk about all the time? Lord of the Rings or something like that?" Kayla asked, obviously not happy with being wherever this place was.
"Yep." Kelsie nodded.
"Oh, great." Kayla groaned. "Do we know how to get back? Do we know how we got here?"
"Umm… Not exactly." Med replied.
"Well, I hope we get out of here soon." Kayla sighed, and Dawni nodded in agreement. With a flash of lightning that looked mysteriously like the number forty-two, Kayla and Dawni disappeared.
"Umm…" Constance said.
"I hope that took them back home…" Kelsie blinked. "But forty-two… forty… two…"
"'Twas the mice," Sha nodded seriously.
Then, for lack of anything better to do, the chapter ended abruptly. The next chapter poked its head out and promised to be better than this one, and to actually have some action in it. It also promised to be longer.
Yeah. This chapter sucked. I think. Tell me what you think. I'll do better next time, I promise. At least, I'll try. Oh, and for a little foreshadowing… Kayla and Dawni aren't gone for good =D
"Just pretend we aren't there!" Giada had pleaded.
