A bright orange light came from the other side of the hall.They looked at it in wonder."What's the light from?" asked Sticky.Gandalf stared blankly at the grey walls,the light cast an eerie on the stone."Run!"he yelled.Snow White dropped to the ground,in a dead faint,Sneezy sneezed and Happy started singing again.Frodo,Sam,Gimli,Grumpy, and Gandalf all ran,but Legolas and Aragorn went back to collect the other three.Aragorn dragged Sneezy and Happy along behind him and finally,they got the idea and started running on their own.Legolas threw Snow White over his shoulder and ran silently to the others.They ran to the bridge of Khazad-Dum and part of hit had broken off.Legolas set Snow White down,she had woken up,and jumped over first.He nodded to Gandalf."Jump,now."Gandalf nodded and jumped over,landing safely with the help of his elvish friend.Aragorn,Gimli,Grumpy,Sneezy,Happy,Snow White,Sam and Frodo all jumped over also.They kept running and suddenly Gandalf stopped at a ledge and gave Sticky to Aragorn."Continue down those stairs!" he commanded.Frodo frowned."We cannot leave without you!"he cried.Gandalf shook his head."Go!" The bright light came closer,revealing itself as the terribly demon,the Balrog.It was a tall,ugly creature surrounded by flames and it had a whip,which was covered in fire also.The Balrog growled and lashed it's whip out.Gandalf held out his staff."You shall not pass!"Gandalf yelled at the demon.The Balrog growled again and tried to come closer."You shall not pass!" Gandalf repeated,slamming his staff down on the rocky ledge.There was a bright flash of light and the Balrog fell down the ledge to it's death,or so they all thought.Gandalf was about to turn and walk back,but the Balrog's whip came up and wrapped itself around Gandalf's leg,pulling him downwards to the depths of the darkened mines.Gandalf clung weakly to the ledge,"Run you fools!" he yelled to the Fellowship."No!No!Gandalf no!" Frodo cried in despair,as the others ran.Aragorn lifted Frodo up and ran with the others,arrows flying around them from the attacking orcs who were standing all around them.

-Chapter 8-BEARDS,SLUMBER PARTIES,and LOTHLORIEN-

The Fellowship sat outside the mines,mourning the loss of their friend,their leader,Gandalf.Frodo had wandered off on his own,Aragorn stood looking into the distance.Snow White was sobbing into Legolas'shoulder."I can't believe he's dead."she said.Legolas frowned sadly and blinked.Sam sat,crying silently.Sticky sat in Aragorn's pocket,crying also."Poor Gandalf,"wailed Grumpy."I know!"sobbed Gimli.Sneezy sneezed in between sobs.Happy laughed."I feel so bad about Gandalf!I could cry!" He grinned.The others shot him angry looks,but he still smiled."I'm sorry!I cannot stop smiling!" Gimli growled."Oh,shut up." Aragorn shook his head."Get them up.Legolas?" Legolas stood and Snow White fell over.Legolas frowned and went over to the others,helping them up."We must leave as soon as possible.These hills will be swarming with orcs by nightfall."said Aragorn.Snow White sat up,looking confused."What?"she asked.Aragorn sighed."I mean:When the big shiny thing called the moon comes up and the sun goes away,some scary orcs will run around,right where we are standing." Snow White smiled sadly."Oh.Like,I get it now."
As they walked towards the forest of Lothlorien,they looked around.Gimli walked behind Happy,his long braided beard dragging along the ground.Happy took a step back and stepped on Gimli's beard.Gimli jumped back and screeched."Don't touch my beard!" he shouted,then looked to the ground.His beloved grey beard lay on the ground,not part of his chin anymore."No!"he yelled in dispair.He fell to his knees,clutching the braid and sobbing.Snow White gasped."Oh my!"
They entered Lothlorien,looking around.Gimli was still crying."Be careful," he warned."they say that a great sorceress lives in these woods." Happy gasped."Really?" Gimli sniffed and nodded."But don't worry.For I have the eyes of an eagle and the ears of a fox." Suddenly,hundreds of sharp arrows were pointed at their faces."Oh."said Gimli,frowning.An elvish man stepped forward."Come in,we have been expecting you."
They walked through the forest and stopped,looking up with wonder at the tall,blonde elvish woman."Greetings," she smiled."I have been waiting.I am Lady Galadriel." They blinked."You can all stay for the night." she said."We can have a slumber party with chips and movies and pop and everything!" she grinned widely.Snow White heard this and squealed."Yay!Party!" The guys looked scared."No boys allowed!They have germmmmmms!"said Galadriel,giggling giddily.Snow White stuck out her tongue."Ha ha,you can't come." They guys all let out a relieved sigh in unison and ran off toward the guest area.
The next day,they were leaving Lothlorien in swan-shaped boats.Snow White was very happy about the boats.She had been afraid they would be plain,boring old boats with leaves on them or something.Gimli stood up in the boat he shared with Legolas and Snow White and waved to Galadriel."Bye!" he yelled,tears of joy streaming down his face.Galadriel had given him a magic shoe that let him have one wish.He had wished that his beard would grow back and it did.

-FLORIDA,HOME,and BEACHES-

The boats sailed forward and what had seemed to be an endless journey,was coming to a stop.They hit the warm waters of Florida and they knew it would be time to say goodbye to Sticky quite soon.They stopped on the shore of a beach and they all hopped out of the boats."Well,Sticky."Aragorn smiled."It was nice meeting you." Sticky jumped out of his pocket and nodded."And you too.Thankyou ever so much for helping me." The others nodded."You're welcome."they said.Sticky gave everyone a quick hug then rushed off towards his house,waving,then disappearing inside.Sticky knew he would never forget his strange,yet wonderful journey through Middle Earth.
