It's here! Whether or not you wanted it, I have written CHAPTER TWO!!! Mwa ha ha ha ha! The insanity continues!

Disclaimer: I own nothing! ::sob::

Months passed since Gandalf gave Frodo Bilbo's ball. He put it in the bottom of a chest and went on with life. There was talk in the Shire about 'strange things' happening in the rest of the world, but they paid no nevermind to it, seeing as they like to keep to themselves. Gandalf eventually came back

He told Frodo about how Bilbo 'acquired' his ball from Gollum and about how Gollum himself got his ball. Gandalf then asked to see it.

"First, do you see any markings on it?" he asked and Gohan looked at it for a second or two.

"No, just the star…"

Piccolo then took it and threw it into the fire, much to Gohan's distress. He'd become attached to his ball, and didn't want it torched. After a small while, Gandalf reached into the fire with some random tongs and pulled the ball out.

"Now, do you see anything?"

"Yes. I cannot read the fiery letters." He then paused and looked slightly to the left of the camera. "What's with the dialogue?"

"Shut up! I got that straight from the book!" yelled Megami.

"Oh," he blushed.

"Anyway, No, but I can. The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, the language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. But this in the Common Tongue is what is said, close enough: One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. It is only two lines of a verse long known in Elvish-lore:…" Piccolo now looked at the director. "Do I really have to say the whole thing?!"

"YES!!! AND STOP LOOKING AT ME AND JUST FILM THE DAMN MOVIE!"

"Geez, fine, Three Balls for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for mortal men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his Dark Throne

In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.

One Ball to rule them all, One Ball to find them,

One Ball to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie." Piccolo paused as the script told him to. "This is the Master-Ball, the One Ball to rule them all. This is the One Ball that he lost many ages ago, to the great awakening of his power. He greatly desires it – but he must not get it."

"Yeah," said Gohan. "If I lost one of my--"

"GET ON WITH THE SCENE, PLEASE!" yelled Megami.

"This Ball?! But how did it come to me?" asked 'Frodo'.

"Ah, that is a very long story…" said Piccolo. "And since just about everyone knows, we won't get into it just now. They show scenes from it every twenty minutes in the movie, and it comes out soon, so go rent it or buy it to see."

"…I don't see how we can tie my next line in, but okay. It is an abominal notion to think that Gollum was connected to the hobbits in such a way!"

"Piccolo was supposed to tell the whole story, but he didn't," yelled Megami. "Just continue as if he did." She rubbed her temples. "YOU GUYS ARE ALL TERRIBLE ACTORS!"

Gohan and Piccolo rolled their eyes and kept going.

"So, the murder of Deagol haunted Gollum…yadda yadda…he didn't follow Bilbo to the Shire, but knew he was here…blah blah…" said Piccolo while flipping through the script while Megami was off yelling at someone else.

"If you warned me about this I would have done away with it a long time ago!"

"How?"

"Melted it, or hammer it down, or somehow."

"Try it."

Piccolo magically produced a hammer and a rock on which to pound it from behind his back and set them in front of Gohan. He put the ball down, and raised the hammer, but never made any move to hit it.

"See, you are being corrupted by the Ball."

"Damn. Will you take the One Ball, then?" Gohan offered it to Piccolo, but he shook his head.

"No, I would take it out of a wish to do good, but through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine."

'Frodo' nodded.

"We must do something quickly; the enemy is moving."

Gohan nodded yet again and began running around and grabbing supplies. As he was leaving and Piccolo was saying what amazing creatures Hobbits are, they heard a rustling in the bush. Gohan dropped down, and Piccolo reached through the window and grabbed Mirai by the hair, dragging him inside.

"Sorry, Gandalf, and Mr. Frodo!"

"What did you hear?!" asked Piccolo.

"About a Ball and Elves, and something about the end of the world," said Mirai Trunks, falling dramatically OOC.

Piccolo rolled his eyes, and then we cut to the next scene. And yes, we are skipping that sentimental scene in the cornfield, or whatever. ::shudder:: I could have done without that. Megami frowns as she flips through the book.

"Hmmm…jeez, Tolkien sure liked to write about them walking through the forest." (a/n: I'm not trying to be mean!! I love LotR!! There's just not much I can screw with there)

"Okay people, we're going to skip to the part right after Merry and Pippin find the Mushrooms. Ready? GO!"

"You're s'posed to say 'Lights, Camera, Action!'" said Goten.

"Yes, I know that Goten. Just…BEGIN FILMING!"

The Camera dude turned on the film and everyone stood there for a second, before stating their lines.

"Ooh! Nii-chan look! Mushrooms!" said Goten and the chibis began eating.

"Don't call me 'nii-chan'! I'm 'Frodo', remember?"

"Oh, yeah," Goten laughed and gave the Son Grin™.

They stood around for a minute or so, before someone turned on a fan offstage and dumped a bucket of leaves in front of it. 'Frodo' looked at the fan and when he cleared his face of the wet leaves, he mock-gasped and said "Get off the road!"

"Why, nii-Frodo?" asked Goten through a mouthful of Mushrooms.

Chi Chi then ran onto the set and grabbed Goten and Trunks. "DON'T EAT THOSE MUSHROOMS! WHO KNOWS WHERE THEY'VE BEEN OR WHAT KIND THEY ARE!!"

"CHI CHI!!! WE'RE TRYING TO FILM! I BOUGHT THEM AT DOMINIC'S THIS MORNING!"

"WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE COOKED THEM AND NOT PUT THEM IN THE DIRT BEFORE FEEDING THEM TO GOTEN AND TRUNKS!!"

"Fine. CONTINUE FILMING!"

The camera caught Chi Chi storming off the set and all the 'Hobbits' hiding under some roots and dirt. They sat there for a good five minutes, before Mirai stood up.

"Where are the Black Riders?"

"Uh…oh, shit."

"Baka onna, you forgot to cast them!" Vegeta was laughing as Megami ran to the costume box and grabbed a black cloak.

"Here," she threw it to Vegeta. "You just volunteered! I'll get someone for the other scenes."

"No."

"VEGETA JUST GO!!" yelled Bulma.

Vegeta glared at a smirking Megami and went on the set. Once he was there, he realized that he had no idea what to do, having never read the book. So, it was improvisation time! He stood around and looked behind the tree.

"Sniff around for them!" whispered Megami through her megaphone.

"What? And why are you bothering to whisper if you're using the megaphone?"

"Just shut up and do it!"

Vegeta grumbled as he bent down and sniffed right above them. The camera then zoomed in on Gohan as he…flared his ki. Vegeta then stood up and prepared a ki blast, but Goten threw a bag of mushrooms into some nearby plants.

"Go after the mushrooms!" Megami whispered through her megaphone again. Vegeta rolled his eyes and complied. Gohan, Mirai, Goten, and Chibi Trunks ran off in the other direction towards a small river. But Vegeta, hearing them running, STOPPED EATING THE MUSHROOMS and chased them! Vegeta glared and walked after them.

"No, RUN! You're never going to catch them this way."

"Like I give a shit."

"JUST DO IT OR NO MORE FOOD BEFORE TAKES!" yelled Megami, and he jogged very slowly. "Fine, whatever. Ass." Vegeta smirked.

"Hurry, Frodo! Well…you actually don't have to, but…do it anyway!" yelled 'Sam'.

Gohan made a huge show of running to the raft and Vegeta ran up behind him, but for some reason that I forget what it was didn't go into the water. Instead, he ran to the road and was joined with several other Ballwraiths. (#18, Goku, and Chi Chi in robes)

"Where's the next dock?" asked Gohan.

"The village of Bree," answered Chibi Trunks and Gohan nodded.

Cut to next scene! The Hobbits are seen running up to big gates blocking the road into the village. When they knocked, Tien stuck his head out.

"What are you doing here?"

"We're heading for the Prancing Pony, on business of our own."

"All right, lads. It's just that there's been talk of strange happenings around here and it's my job to keep that out." He opened the door and they headed straight for the Inn.

Once there, they find out that Gandalf the Gray hasn't been seen there for six months. They then go and get a table to eat. We won't do the whole thing with the beer because Goten and Chibi Trunks are six and seven (I think. Well, they are here.) Cans of cream soda were seen sitting in front of them, clashing with the set.

"Why don't you guys get cups for that stuff?! It looks really bad there!"

"Jeez, sorry," said Gohan and he left.

"Good. Resume shooting!"

When the waiter (the light guy, so the lighting in this scene sucks) came by randomly, Gohan stopped him and asked who that weird guy sitting in the corner was.

"I don't know what his right name is, but around here, he's called Strider."

The light guy hurries back to his post and the camera zooms in on Vegeta, who is sulking in the corner, much like the actual character does. Convenient, ne? ^_^
