Chapter three: Another joins the company (sort of)
Sam was suspicious, Buffy hadn't told them much about herself and there seemed to be something she wasn't saying, she also seemed nothing like the girl-hobbits from the shire, she was cold, desolate, and drawn in to herself, not that she was conceited. Merry said he felt bad for her because it appeared that something had happened to her long ago, or recently, that she kept bottled up. Another matter at hand was where she had come from, Aragorn and Boromir kept reciting names of people, places, and things that they knew, but she knew none of them. So, when it was figured that she was either from a different world or a different time she began tell them of things she knew.
"Computers," she began " Do you even have computers?"
"No" said Pippin "we told you we do not have…cars…or tele-, tele-"
"Phones" Buffy supplied "just say 'phones' though it's easier"
"Right, phones" spoke Boromir "but how do they work? You said that you can talk to anybody with them, are they some sort of transporting device?"
"And tell us of the other things to" piped up Merry
Buffy laughed, "telephones aren't transporting devices, we're not that high tech yet! They are…hmmm they are little…boxes, some are, that have numbers on it when you dial the numbers, the information goes…oh god" she stopped seeing their blank faces "I can't explain it if Willow were here she could, she's really smart."
"Well then tell us about computers" said Pippin
She laughed again at Pippin's eagerness "Ah! Computers…I can tell you about that…I think…computers are also boxes…well some are flat…anyway they…you know Willow would be better at talking about technology all together."
"That's alright" assured Aragorn "We should stop to sleep anyway"
That night they were waken by the voice of a girl
"Excuse me" he girl said "I am sorry to wake you up but I need a place to stay…and some food"
"Of course, you may sleep here and we have some food here for you too" spoke Boromir
"Thank you-" started the girl
"NO! You may not sleep here and you may certainly not have any food…at least the kind you want," retorted Buffy.
