A/N: I'm not sure what this story is going to be about, but I will find the meaning soon. I do use spell check, but sometimes I use the wrong tense or form of the word. Please forgive any mistakes in grammar or spelling. This might not be the most original story you will ever read. I thought this up over two years ago, before ever reading Lord of the Rings fan fiction. Thank you.
Disclaimer: I do not own anyone in this story, it all belongs to the brilliant man, Professor J.R.R. Tolkien.
Chapter One: The Bridge of Khazad-dûm
The fellowship was running as fast as possible, Sam and Frodo barely able to keep up with the great pace at which they were traveling. Sam's scalpel wound burned as if his head were on fire and Frodo's breathing was labored. Gandalf lead the way quickly and kept his staff lit. They raced down the narrow stairs and chambers hoping to out run the perusing Orcs. It seemed that just as they out ran one group another would appear out of no where. Then, all of a sudden, it became deathly still. All the Orcs were gone, not a sound could be heard. All was quite, not even a breath of wind could be heard in the great hall of the Darrowdelf. Then, the Balrog appeared. It struck fear into the hearts of everyone. Gandalf tried his best to use a chant to close the door, but it was too much of a strain and he was tried already. They ran as fast as they could towards the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. The Balrog followed them closely and chased them onto the bridge. The bridge was very narrow and high. Gandalf stood in the middle of the bridge and fairly dared the Balrog to come after him. The rest of the fellowship stared in horror. What was he doing! He brusquely told the Balrog that he could not pass. He plunged his staff down into the pavement. The Balrog roared with anger! The rest of the fellowship, moved forward on no will of their own. Their feet seemed to move on their own accord. The second half of the bridge fell with Gandalf and the rest of the fellowship into the impending darkness below. Darkness covered them all.

Mean while, a young girl was ride in her friend's car to school, dreading the final exam that the day would bring. Thank goodness that these would be the last exams she would ever have to take in high school. The grammar exam was the one she was worried about; none of the others were difficult. She had a solid B in grammar, and wanted to keep it that way. The girl pulled out a very worn copy of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Part I.
"You're reading that again?" complained her friend Alexandria. "This is umpteenth time you've read that. Doesn't it get boring after reading it so many times?"
"Yes, I'm reading it again, it was the only book I could find. Any way, I love these books, I can always find more in it every time I read it. I can never get board of reading any work of Tolkien. You should try to read it at least once."
"I did read it once. I read it in eight grade for a book report book. You told me all about it so I didn't have to read the whole thing. Remember now?"
"Oh, yes I remember. Then I did the same one right after you for extra credit, and received a better grade, because I read it by myself!"
"Well, it's not my fault it was the only book in my locker!"
"You should have been more prepared, then you could have gotten a better grade."
"Why don't you just be quite! Remind me again why I am driving you to school?"
"Because last night at the game, some guy backed into my truck. My truck is now in a repair shop getting fixed. I will be able to get it after school gets out for today." replied Cooper.
Later that day as Alex and Cooper were taking their final exams Cooper was reading her favorite book. She was almost to her favorite part, when the fellowship escapes Moria. As she was reading she noticed that the lines in the book were fading. No, fading is not the right word, disappearing would be more like it. So, Cooper raised her hand and asked her teacher if she could go to the school library and check out a book.
"Cooper! How many times do I have to tell the class to come prepared with a book during finals? You of all people." After this snickering could be heard around the classroom. Cooper was mortified, she had brought a book, but the text was disappearing. No one would ever believe that.
Finals were finally over. After class Alex came up to Cooper. "Anne Cooper! I don't believe you! Why did you ask such a dumb question? You brought a book to class."
"Yeah," sneered James O'Neil, "You brought that stupid Lord of the whatever books again. Did you finally get tired of it?"
"O'Neil, you had better shut your mouth before I do it for you. Do you understand me? Gosh, I can't stand that boy! He is sooo annoying, he purposely grates on my nerves. Someday I am going to walk up to him and break him pretty boy nose."
"Hey now Anne, calm down. Don't get so violent. You need to keep your temper under control."
"Alex! I can't believe you!"
"What? What did I do?"
"You called me 'Anne' for the second time today. Why must everyone call me by that name? I want to be called 'Cooper.' That is my name, my parents, my teachers, and other students call my that but not you! Why?" Well, needless to say, but Cooper was having a really bad day. I mean, if the words in your favorite book disappeared would you be mad? After school Cooper took the subway to pick up her car from the repair shop, but first she had to go to the library.

Meanwhile our favorite fellowship from Middle Earth was dropping into the ominous black pit below. When Frodo finally came to his sense he was laying in the subway depot. He looked around for any sign of his friends and saw no one. After wandering around the depot for a while he decided to go exploring. After a little exploration he found Strider sitting in a dark corner.
"Aragorn, where in Middle Earth are we? I have never seen the likes of this place."
"Frodo, I don't believe that this is Middle Earth at all. This is, well, somewhere else. Have you seen any of our comrades lately?"
"No, you are the only one I have been able to..." and at that Frodo was cut off by a large roaring sound echoing down the tunnel. I was, of course, the subway. But there are no subways in Middle Earth so they had no idea what it was. Aragorn thought it was some kind of evil monster thing trying to steal the ring so he drew his sword and pushed Frodo against the wall. The subway cars came to an abrupt halt in front of the depot. Aragorn quickly put his sword away. The people filed off the car and walked out of the depot. The last person off the car was, of course, Cooper. She was still fuming over her loss. She saw the sun glint off something in the corner. Cooper was very curious about this.
"Oh dang! That girl saw the refraction of the sun off my sword. What now?"
"Hello, is anyone back there?"
A/N: This is my third story, I will attempt to keep it, When Dreams Come True, and Charity's Story updated. I have a passion for this kind of fan fiction. Reviews are nice, and really appreciate when you do review. So thanks a lot.
