A/N: Wow.. thanks for all the reviews Samus! You must be really interested
in this. Like I've said, I haven't read the books so.. I don't know these
things! If I mess up again like that, please tell me! I've been begging my
mom to let me get the books but..no.. I still haven't got a chance.
Anyways, enough about that!

Erin woke up later than the rest. She had about two minutes to get fully awake before they started out.
A few hours later, as they were walking away from Bree, she waited for Pippin to say his line that always made her laugh. The hobbits were stopping for second breakfast.
"Gentlemen, we do not stop until nightfall." Strider was saying. Erin was chewing her lip again,trying not to laugh and failing. Strider had started ignoring her a few miles back, after she'd giggled for absolutely no reason.
"What about breakfast?"Asked Pippin.
"We've already had it."
Then it came."We've had one yes.What about second breakfast?" Strider started walking away, but Erin didn't move."What bout elevenses?Lunch?Afternoon tea?Dinner?Supper?He knows about them,doesn't he?" Pippin looked worried. Then came two apples that hit Pippin, and Erin couldn't hold it back anymore. She giggled like a maniac and ran forward to catch up with Strider.
But then, she had a sudden feeling, a feeling so strange she had to stop. She gotten ahead of the hobbits, and Strider was just out of sight. She suddenly had the worst headache of he rlife and fell to her knees. She clutched her head and let out a small scream, and then it all went black...
Erin woke in a familiar forest, and she ached all over. She shivered in the cold and got herself up. She felt like crying. It had all been a dream.. all of that,none of it real..
The tears came and she couldn't stop them. How could it be true?
She decided she should go home. There she could at least get warm, and be a little less miserable..
Erin climbed back up the tree and onto the roof, and carefully balanced herself as she reached her window and crawled through.
Her room was just how she'd left it. The digital clock read that she'd been gone a few hours. Erin plopped down on her bed and cried. She didn't belong here. She belonged in Middle-Earth. It couldn't have been a dream. It had been real, she just knew it.
Erin spent the next few days in her room, refusing to come out. She ate the food her mothe rleft otuside her door but refused to talk to her. She hoped that maybe,somehow, she could get back to Middle-Earth. Somehow. She had to!
Timmy decided to wander in one day. Erin gave him an evil look, and he stuck his tongue out at her.
"Do that again, and I'll cut it off!" She warned. Timmy looked shocked.
"You wouldn't!.. Would you?" He asked,very quietly.
"I would. Now get out!" Timmy silently obeyed. Erin expected him to go off an tattle on her, but he didn't. For that she was grateful.
Jackie called a few times, but Erin never answered. She missed her real friends back in her *real* home.
Days passed. Erin was finally persuaded out of her room by her mother, who offered to take her to see The Two Towers again. She should've known it was a trick.
"I want to know whats wrong with you lately. What have you been doing in there? What are you not telling us?"
Erin simply chewed her lip and stared at her mother, as if she just didn't understand. Her mother sighed and left the room.
Erin eventually began to leave the house, but things were not the same. Things seemed so.. empty. So unreal. And everytime she saw a LotR poster, she'd start crying and look away. No one understood. No one ever would.
A/N: NO! This is not the end. I know it seems like it, but really, be patient!
