The Lord of the Rings Lovers
Prologue: The Meet-up
"So… next week it is then!" Rose typed, "At half 1, yeah?" The mouse moved over to the 'Post reply' button. She clicked it and waited as her message was uploaded onto the post.
Above hers were several messages posted by the other members of the 'Lord of the Rings Lovers.' They were organising a meet-up in London to go to the Premier of The Two Towers. Clara had recently won tickets in a competition and suggested they should all share the tickets and go together.
And so the week passed, rather more slowly than everyone would have liked but finally the day of the meet-up arrived. Friday.
Beep, beep, beep, bee- Rose's hand rested over the 'stop' button on her alarm clock. The beeping stopped. She looked up from her pillow blearily and peered at the time. The clock read, '5:30.' Rose crawled out of bed and pulled on some clothes she'd lain aside the night before, ready for the meet-up.
By 7:30 she, along with her mum, was ready to set off. They got into the car and set off.
3 hours in the car and a train journey later, they finally arrived in London. It was raining.
'Oh great,' thought Rose as they got off the train, 'the best day of my life and it has to go and rain!' But that wasn't going to spoil her mood. Nothing could today, she was seeing the premier and finally meeting the actors who's pictures she and her fellow Lord of the Rings Lovers had been drooling over for months on the board. Just the very idea of actually meeting them gave her butterflies.
As Rose approached the meeting place (her mum had gone off shopping somewhere and had arranged to meet her after the premier) she spotted a group of girls, huddled under a blue umbrella.
'That's them,' she thought. She looked closer and noticed one of them was holding a sign up. The ink had run slightly due to the rain but it was still quite readable. It said, 'LOTR Lovers.'
'Yep, definitely them.' She smiled and ran over to them, "Hi!" She said, "It's me, Rose"
Everyone introduced them selves, "Clara…Dezzy…Lou…Amber…"
"Where's Kym?" Asked Rose, "isn't she here yet?"
"No," said Lou, "wait… that must be her now," she added, pointing to a small figure running towards them.
"You must be Kym."
"Yep, that's me!" Said Kym, slightly out of breath from running, "sorry I'm a bit late. My train got delayed."
After many more introductions and "how do you do's," the group headed off to catch a train that would take them to the cinema, and the premier. An hour and a half later, they had arrived, and were buzzing with excitement. As they approached the entrance, Clara got out the tickets and showed them to the security guard standing at the door. After checking their tickets, the security guard gave them all a warm smile and let them all through. Once inside, free from the noise of screaming fans outside (who, they noticed with satisfaction, did not have tickets) the group halted and stared, open-mouthed. Everybody they could see was a celebrity of some sort.
"I wonder where our lil' hobbits are," said Lou, beaming and scanning the crowd curiously. Suddenly, they all heard a gasp and turned to face Amber, who had made the noise. She had a look of utter bewilderment on her face and was pointing, with an extremely shaky hand, over to their left. They followed her gaze and understood why she had gasped. Walking towards them was none other than Elijah, Sean, Billy and Dom!
And so they all met their little hobbit-boys and, as luck would have it, ended up sitting next to them during the film! Of course, afterwards they were positively flooding with tears and extremely shaky, so when they met the rest of the cast, they almost burst into tears immediately. This wasn't too bad though, as they all got lots of hobbity hugs. Later on, when all the excitement and tears had died down, they were all offered a lift back to their meeting place with the cast, and if that wasn't enough, they were to go in a Limousine!
As the last of them scrambled into the back of the Limousine and shut the door the Limousine sped off down the streets of London, carrying Rose, Lou, Kym, Clara, Amber and Dezzy. Not to mention Elijah, Sean, Billy, Dom, Orli and Viggo! The journey was long, but not without excitement. The LOTRL's laughed and joked with the cast and talked of many things, all, of course, LOTR related, until the group began to get weary and rather tired.
Just then, the Limousine jolted and knocked them all off their seats. It then swerved and there was a terrible screeching sound coming from the tyres. The group desperately tried to hold on for dear life but it was simply no good. The Limousine smashed headlong into a wall and with a terrible crunching sound they were all flung to the floor and were knocked unconscious.
