Disclaimer: Thank you to everyone who was nice enough to review! I hope
you enjoy this next chapter!
Now, when we left off Legolas, Sam, Frodo, Roz, and I were in the sewing room in my house
where we had just discovered. Boromir. The reason I was laughing so hard was because when Boromir
died in the movie, he'd had so many arrows in him that Roz and I had always joked that he'd looked
like a human pin-cushion.
I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe let alone speak and finally Frodo voiced the one
question I wanted to ask.
"Boromir? I thought you'd..... died?"
Boromir was apparantly quite angry at being laughed at. " Well," he said gruffly," I'm not, okay? Now
help me!"
With much complaining and whining on Boromir's part, all of the were eventually removed and we made
our way back to the living room. When everyone was seated, Roz looked around.
Without taking her eyes off of Frodo she spoke. " Now, Lee, please tell me what's going on? "
" Not that it matters as long as they're here." She added hastily.
I also looked around the room. The four hobbits were sitting on the couch opposite us, Boromir and
Aragorn were sitting on the floor near the fireplace, Legolas was standing by the window staring out
at the pouring rain, and George was standing behind me and Roz's couch. I noticed that Prancer
seemed to have developed a liking for Sam because she was sitting with her head on his knee.
Pippin began to explain why they were there.
" All I really remember is that there was a storm and to take cover from the rain and wind,
Merry, Legolas, and I went into a cave. You see we'd gotten separated from everyone else in the
rain. The next thing I know, you found us."
" Well, where did the others go and how did they get here?" I looked around again, amazed at the
odd gathering in my house.
Pippin lookedover at Frodo. " How did you get here Frodo?"
Frodo looked thoughtful for a moment. " Well, Sam and I became separated from you lot when you
disappeared and we took cover under a ledge. The next thing I knew, we were under her bed."
At this point Frodo looked over at me. Roz, who was next to me, sighed. "Man, his eyes are
gorgeous." I glanced at everyone.
" There must be something you haven't told me that can help me figure everything out."
The incomplete Fellowship looked around at each other. Finally Frodo spoke up.
" There is something."
"What is it?"
" We were on our way to a gathering of the Fellowship and, I don't know about the others, but the
ledge that Sam and I took cover under had a strange marking on it."
Merry's head perked up. " You know," he said thoughtfully, " There was a strange mark on the cave
Legolas, Pippin, and I went into."
Aragorn, who'd remained silent the whole time, suddenly spoke.
" Yes, we were on our way and-"
George cut him off.
" Leela, can you hear how rediculous this sounds?! These guys have gotta be on crack or something!
I mean, what normal person would come into our house and pretend to be things form your stupid
books that you're obsessed with?!"
There was a stunned silence and Roz glared at my brother. " Go eat Oreos!"
Before my brother could respond, there was a knock on the door. George ran to answer it and a
few seconds later I heard a yell. I raced for the door and saw Gimli standing in the doorway telling
George that if he didn't let him in, he'd knock his skull in with his axe.
" Get away from my brother!" I ran and snatched George out of the Dwarf's way. Okay, even
though George is a pain sometimes, I would never want anything to happen to him. Gimli turned
towards me. " What are you doing in our meeting spot, little girl?"
Little girl? No one calls me little girl. Now he was making me mad.
" Excuse me, Short Stuff, but this happens to be my house!"
" Well, our caves back home are nicer than this shack!"
" Go get lost in some woods, Axe-Boy!"
Gimli growledand probably would have chopped me in half if Gandalf hadn't marched in and stood
between us.
" Enough! Where is everyone else?"
I pointed to the living room and proceeded to lead him to it.
Frodo looked shocked when the wizard entered the room.
" Gandalf! You're lost, too?"
Gandalf chuckled. " Lost? No, this is our meeting spot! Didn't you see the marls?"
Realization dawned on everyone's faces as they remembered the marks on the cave and ledge.
Now it was my turn to speak up.
" Ummmm.... why is your meeting place in my house?"
Roz nudged me. " Don't even ask! It doesn't matter why they're here! Let's just be glad that they
are!"
I smiled and shook my head. Gandalf looked at me as though he hadn't even noticed me before.
" What do you mean your house? No one's lived here for years!"
I answered him matter-of-factly. " We just moved in two weeks ago."
Gandalf began to pace and mutter to himself. " Oh, no. This completely ruins my plans. What am I
going to do?"
Things went on like this for some time. Suddenly Pippin spoke up. " Well, Gandalf, she didn't
exactly throw us out. And she evn called her friend over."
Now all of the Hobbits were nodding in agreement. Gandalf shook his head stubbornly.
" She goes."
Now he was bothering me...so I got sarcastic.
" I am in the room you know. And you can't exactly kick me out of my own house. Besides, my
mom'll be home soon so you guys have to listen to me so she doesn't find out that you're here or
we'll all be in big trouble."
The room went silent. The patter of the rain on the windows was very present and George looked
over at me. Apparantly even he was stunned that I'd just challenged an old man. A sudden thought
sprang into my mind. " Okay, my mom can't reach us to tell us that she's on her way home because
the phones are dead, so we need to be on our guard."
Pippin looked at me. " What's a phone?"
" I'll show you later. Anyways, George, Roz, and I will go get some blankets. You guys can stay in
the attic. If you're quiet, my mom'll never know."
Without another word, the three of us went to find as many blankets as we could. George seemed
incredibly angry.
" No way are those freaks staying in our house!"
Roz, of course, sided with me. "Why not? Your friends stay here all the time."
I stiffled a laugh. It was true, my brother's friends were pretty weird. Anyways,we found some
pillows and blankets and returned to the living room to find the Fellowship having a heated
discussion. Legolas's voice rang out. " She's offering us shelter, how evil can she be?"
All of the hobbits seemed to agree. Gimli, however, was another story. " You Elves are to trusting!
The girl is obviously trying to trap us!" I cleared my throat and the conversation ceased immediately.
" If you guys wanna stay, the blankets are here. You can stay in the attic." With that, I grabbed
Roz and dragged her up to my room.
