A/N: Okay, okay, back in school - I figure if I can't crawl my way out of bed, there's no way I can graduate. Two things, Jessica: One, yes, I will make it long. I'll rub some Deep Heat on it; and two, what the hell are you talking about, your hair making men hard? Whatever.
I grinned, looking from Pip, to Merry, to Treebeard, and back. Jessica rolled her eyes, especially when I leaned over and whispered, "It's Pippin."
And then the Ent that carried us tossed us to the ground, not so lightly. Almost immediately, I felt a set of hands on my shoulder and arm as Merry helped me up. Pippin was trying to help Jessica, but she seemed more interested in the state of her hair.
"Thanks, Merry," I mumbled under my breath, and the Hobbit smiled and nodded courteously for a moment before he suddenly looked shocked.
"How'd you know my name?"
"Aside from the fact that she wants to bang your cousin?" asked Jessica with a grin.
"Bang?" Pippin echoed, eyes wide. She was opening her mouth to reply, probably something vulgar that would leave the Hobbit scarred for life, when a booming voice interrupted us from above.
"Enough of this nonsense!"
"Sorry, Treebeard," I said quickly, and poked Jessica, who was searching the ground for a lost necklace. Seriously. When she wore so many, how could she tell if ONE was missing? She straightened up and smiled.
"Who are you, boom ha room?"
"We're..." I started, but Jessica cut in.
"Travelers from distant lands, we come to you now in the hour of your need, for we have foreseen many things and we know that the stars and planets align against you - SAILOR MOON!"
You know the face-fault thing that anime characters do and then fall over? That was basically my reaction to Jessica's little outburst. But it seemed to work on the Hobbits and Ents, who were gazing at us in awe.
"Remind me to burn your Sailor Moon tapes when we get back," I mumbled, and she grinned and shrugged.
"It was better than saying we want to molest the hobbit and elf."

Jessica and I shared a grin, sprawled out on the steps of Isengard, chit-chatting while we waited for Merry and Pippin scouring the orcs' and wild men's supplies.
"So does Legolas show up here?" she asked, casually, and I rolled my eyes, giving her The Look. You know. The one normally reserved for fangirls.
"Well, if you would've read the BOOK," I replied testily, and she glared. "You would know that Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and Gandalf, and a bunch of other guys, come here after Helm's Deep."
"Well you just spoiled the third movie for me."
"Nah... just Tolkien's version. Peter Jackson will probably have them flying to Never-Never Land or something like that."
We giggled and I straightened a bit when I saw Pip and Merry approaching with boxes of supplies in hand. They flopped onto the steps below us, and I grinned, making a few obscene gestures in Pippin's general direction.
"Would you ladies like a bit of pipeweed?" Merry asked, friendly, and I snickered, calling back down.
"Drugs are bad, mmkay?"
"Mmkay?" he replied, confsued.
"Mmkay!"
"Mmkay?" asked Pippin, eyes wide.
"MMKAY!" I shouted back, and Jessica giggled, hopping down to join them in getting high. I just sat back and watched.
A few hours passed, and Jessica had led the Hobbits through rousing renditions of "Ice Ice Baby" and "I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt". Why, I have no idea.
When, in the distance, figures approached.
~*A/N: And I'm leaving it there, so Jessica can wait her ass until tomorrow to read about her precious elf. *~
