Suicidal Hobbits and The Bag
...Grumbling...Someone Singing...Bubbles Popping...
Sandy sat in heaven as she heard the Hobbits trying to reenact some war or another. But Sandy didn't care. She had had enough homework the last couple nights (AP History, AP English, AP Chemistry, and Honors Math Anal) to last her a lifetime, and according to her standard time, it was still 6:00 in the morning, LONG before her alarm was going to ring.
"BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
Sandy jumped when she heard the horn go off. At the front, one of the hobbits (Pippin, of course) was blowing a horn as loud as he could and cried out, "RUN, HOBBITS! RUN!" Two of the hobbits started to race off, but were captured by Aragorn and Faramir who picked them up and threw them across the rooms.
"HEY!" Merry cried as he slid to the floor after hitting the wall. "That's not how it goes, you fool! We're supposed to be CAPTURED! By the orcs! And have a heroic ending when Eomer and some of the Rohirrim come and burn all the orcs and-"
"Oh, hush Merry!" Frodo elbowed the hobbit. "Don't you think we've reenacted this part enough times that they already know that? Boromir is in shock already and it's only been five minutes!"
A knock on the door capture their attention, especially Elrond's who opened it. A medium brown-haired girl with a thick Australian accent walked in. "I have a schedule change, sir," the girl started to say when Elrond took her schedule out of her hands and jumped for glee.
"YES! YES! I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T FAIL ME NOW!" Elrond cried out. Sandy looked at the girl, sympathetically. The poor kid had NO idea what she was getting into. But neither did Sandy.
"Hey!" Sam whined as he popped up from behind an orc costume. "She just ruined our play!"
"No, she didn't, Sam," Rosie protested. "Aragorn did. He threw Frodo and Merry across the room!"
Sam gasped. "Aragorn hurt Mr. Frodo?" Sam grew stubborn and angry and jumped up in front of Aragorn. "YOU THREW MR. FRODO!? HOW DARE YOU!" Sam grabbed a fish knife out of his pocket (because Elrond had already taken away his sword) and charged Aragorn, like a bull who had seen a red flag being waved in his face.
The new girl jumped and ran out of the room in terror. She didn't get very far, because she reappeared in the room, looking extremely frightened (Galadriel's magic isn't THAT normal). "What do you all want with me???"
Elrond looked at her. "This is an AP class. Have you ever heard of a place called Middle Earth?" The girl shook her head. "Aw, well...just take a seat behind Miss Winters and you'll find out. Hobbits and Elves and Humans! Welcome Megan Atwood!"
Megan hid herself behind her bag. This wasn't cool...not cool at all.
*Tick...chip...mick...cling...yip*
Sandy found the hobbits in the back corner of the room. One had a ball of yarn wool and Merry was patiently knitting it, the knitting needles making a "clanging" sound every time they hit.
"SHHHHHHH! Quiet, Merry! You're going to give us away!" Pippin whispered harshly, loud enough for the class to hear. The hobbit, who had his back to the class, didn't know that everyone was aleady watching them intently. It was only moments after that they jumped up, each holding a parachute-type blanket and opening the window threateningly.
Merry jumped onto the windowsill, yelling out for the class to hear, "NOW you see me! NOW you don't!" And the hobbits jumped, followed by the other four hobbits.
"OOOOOGH!" "AUGH!" "MERRY!" "PIPPIN!" "GET OFF!!!" "MWHUSHWROOMS!" "YOU JUST LANDED ON MR. FRODO!!!"
Boromir ran to the window to see what damage was done."Bombs away!" he cried and threw down a brick that must have hit something because there were a few cries following.The class gathered around the window, trying to get the best view of the suicidal hobbits. Sandy stayed glued to her seat. Megan was still hiding behind her bag.
"Hey," Sandy said to the girl (or actually, the bag), "welcome to AP Middle Earth!"
Megan looked out from behind her bag and straight at Sandy. "Thanks." The girl smiled and for once, Sandy didn't feel like she was alone. For once, Sandy didn't feel stupid. And for once, Sandy really began to enjoy this class...amazingly.

Tip for writers: hey, if you are serious about seeking a career in writing and you're a freshman in high school or younger (or even sophomores will do), I suggest that you take Honors/AP English. I'm taking it right now and it's helped me a lot so far. Also, Honors/AP History will do you good, also. It will help with the detailing. Reading history is like reading a book. It paints the picture for you to imagine, except you are given this and you have the right to make something of your own out of it...
