The Nine Go Shopping - Episode II!!
Chapter 5
The Nine are in a mad rush to catch the evil jeweler dude, who is sprinting with a maniacal laugh
down the main part of the mall, knocking over all the little stands set up by people who can't
afford an actual store.
"Great Lord Sauron, that guy runs fast," huffs Seven.
"I'm - going - to - get - that - filthy - little - rat," pants Eight.
"Hey, wait for me!" screams Three.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!" laughs the evil jeweler dude, as he jumps into
an empty elevator. The door closes immediately, and the jeweler waves at the Nine through the
glass as he presses the button.
Eight mutters his signature curses.
Four cries, "Look! An open elevator over there!" The Nine rush towards it, just as it starts to
close. It looks as if they aren't going to make it, but Eight manages to jam himself into the gap
between the doors. They part and all nine of the Nine jump in. Eight presses the (4) button.
"Hey, I wanted to press the button!" Three whines. But they are already traveling up.
The jeweler's elevator reaches the top before the Nine are even halfway up. He bolts off down
the corridor, attracting a lot of strange looks as he tears by.
After what seems like hours, the Nine reach the top and bolt off after the guy. Department stores
whoosh by, and it looks like the Nine are gaining on the guy. Unfortunately, he is still miles
ahead.
However, Sauron wasn't exactly going to totally abandon these guys. After all, they were
searching for his ring. He immediately equipped them with what he thought would be the best
transportation for the occasion....
"Rollerskates?!" cried Eight. "Why rollerskates?!" Needless to say, the Nine are totally
unfamiliar with rollerskates, and cannot manage to steer. And with the excess momentum from
their running, and their limited knowledge on how to brake, they cannot stop either.
So they all insanely scream as one, as they rush toward the glass window at the end of the
corridor, and as the evil jeweler dude grabs an elevator down to the first floor, and as the people
in the mall all think simultaneously, "What the heck is their problem?"
Then they all crash into the glass, and the glass breaks, and they fall four floors to the street
below.
"Ouch," says Three, "that hurt A LOT."
"Realize that if we were still mortal, it would have done a lot more than hurt," hisses Eight.
"Thanks to brilliant old Sauron, the evil jeweler dude got away." They can see him laughing
across the parking lot.
The Nine struggle to get their skates off, and finally all stand up.
"Ah well," groans Eight, "here we go again."
And the Nine set off, back to their old jobs of searching for the Ring.

Sorry about such a short chapter. Even thought the first two are a lot shorter.
Thank you, all my wonderful reviewers. Episode III comes with the 15th review!
