A/N: I had to clean out one of our hall closets and I discovered an old book of fairytales.... very silly fairytales. I read Rapunzel, and I got inspired. Thank you to all who suggested Rapunzel (Kara Angelle, mock turtle, Redfox, and SilentStep). I'll take more time at the end to address the idea thingy. But now, Rapunzel!

Fairytale Invasions!
Chapter 10: Rapunzel and the Return of Hansel and Gretel

Gandalf strode up to Orthanc and knocked heavily on the doors. Suddenly a long blonde braid hit the wizard on his head. Confused, Gandalf and those with him looked up at the balcony over the steps. There stood a girl with blonde hair that reached the steps below. She was dressed in a pink gown and looked rather bored.
"Are you going to climb up or not?" the girl yawned.
Gandalf raised an eyebrow. "Climb up? Climb up what?"
"May hair of course," the girl retorted, looking at Gandalf as if he were not too bright.
"And why, pray tell, would he do that?" Aragorn asked.
The girl shrugged. "Everyone else does."
Suddenly a loud crash was heard from inside the tower. "Oh, dash vas fun, yah," a small voice said.
"Ooo, fun, yah, ve do dat again!" another voice responded.
"You will do no such thing!" Saruman roared. There were cries of disappointment, then a rather bedraggled Saruman appeared on the balcony. "Get back inside!" he snapped at the girl.
The girl attempted to toss her hair, but it was unsuccessful. Gathering up her hair she flounced back inside. Muttering under his breath, Saruman turned to those below.
"What!" he snapped.
"You do not look well, Saruman," Gandalf said, trying to hide his amusement.
"You would not look well either if there were two children eating your tower, a girl with hair impossible not to trip over wandering about, and men in ridiculous outfits banging on your door!" the wizard exclaimed.
Gandalf eyed Saruman's robes, which had been died from their former white to purple, green, blue, yellow, and many other colors. "Why did you change your color, Saruman?" Gandalf asked.
Saruman's eye began to twitch. "The children thought it would be fun to turn me into a rainbow," Saurman said through clenched teeth.
"Ah," Gandalf said, trying to guess Saruman's metal stability... if there was any left that is. "Well, I have come to order you to hand over your staff and the key to Orthanc-"
"You mean you want me to leave?" Saruman interrupted quickly, a gleam in his eye.
"Erm, I suppose..." Gandalf said slowly.
"Sold!" Saruman cried. He disappeared from the balcony and reappeared in the doorway a moment later. He handed Gandalf his staff and a large key. "It's all yours! Have fun!" With that Saruman turned and ran out of Isengard as fast as he could.
"Well, that was interesting," Gimli said dryly.
"I thought for sure he would have fought a bit," Gandalf said, confused. Suddenly the girl appeared in the doorway with folded arms.
"Hey, are any of you coming inside?" she asked, tapping her foot. Two children poked their heads out from behind her skirt.
"Vere did our Vadder go?" Gretel pouted.
"Ack, it don't madder, ve still have da 'ouse!" Hansel grinned.
"Ack, yah, his mudder rode a vacuum cleaner!" Gretel giggled.
The two children turned and ran back into the house, and there were more loud crashes, accompanied by frantic shrieking.
"Wormtongue got what was coming to him," Théoden grinned.
"Helllooooo, what am I supposed to do?" the girl asked, rather exasperated.
"Um, go see if Galadriel is your long lost sister?" Gimli suggested.
The girl sighed. "May I borrow a horse, a bow, and a quiver, please?"
Legolas' ears pricked up. "Are you an archer, milady?"
"Well, I'm not sure if I can ride a horse, but it looks easy, and I used to play darts with the witch, so archery is about all I can do," she shrugged.
Legolas grinned and stepped up to the girl, offering her his arm. "Perhaps I could teach you the finer points of horse riding," he asked with a charming smile.
The girl smiled. "Why not. You know, you're a lot nicer than the other princes."
Gimli and Aragorn watched as their friend walked off with the girl, talking amiably. "Hmm, perhaps now people will stop thinking he is a girl," Aragorn mused.
"I wonder if Galadriel really is her long lost sister," Gimli muttered to himself.

There you have it, another installment of silliness. What do you think? Is Rapunzel Galadriel's long lost sister? I may have to write a story about that... **brings out plate of cookies** Review time! =o) Don't forget to suggest fairytales! =o) If you suggest a fairytale I don't know, I'll say so in the Author's Note, and then you could email me a summary of the tale (or the whole thing if you have it). Okay? Okay. =o) Thanks for reading!
