A Magical Gift
Notes - First and foremost, I do not own Lord of the Rings which all belong to the great J.R.R Tolkien, the only characters that I own are Andrea, Jenny, Jackie, and Vince. So do not sue me because you won't get anything! Any print in the story that is italics or 'are like this' are the characters thoughts. The story is rated R due to language, if you can't take that then please read another story. In this story there is absolutely no knowledge of Middle-Earth, the books were never written and the movies were never made, so the characters have no idea where they've landed, and have no idea about what is going on. I'm not exactly a LotR expert, so I will probably get a lot of things - mostly places wrong, so please correct me if I am, I would really appriciate it! Please review! I am also open to any suggestions or ideas for the story. I love hearing from you guys, so let me know what you all would like to happen!
I. Valentine's Day
Seventeen year-old Andrea Evans opened the door to her 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra - not exactly what she wanted, but it ran well, didn't use much gas, and would just have to do until she got a job. The school day had just ended, and it was the dreaded Valentine's Day, at least for her that is. Her football player boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend now, had just broken up with her less then a week ago, dumping her before the most romantic day of the year, how sweet.
It wasn't exactly the best day either besides that, she had left her math homework on her table next to her bed, dropped a test tube in Chemistry, lost her lunch money, and still had not gotten anything for Valentine's Day.
She was just thinking the events of the day over in her head when her best friend Jenny Wood came running over to her car, and in her hand, a boquet of a dozen roses.
"So whose the lucky guy that's going to recieve the roses?" Andrea asked throwing her backpack into the back seat.
"They're for you! I had left them at home, and my mom brought them for me to give to you. I was just going to give them to you tomorrow, but I figured you've had a bad day. Here, I hope you like them, they're your favorite."
There were three colors of roses, red, pink, and white, they were beautiful. A smile spread across the young girls face and hugged her friend.
"Thank you so much! I really wasn't expecting anything, but wow...they're beautiful."
"Your welcome. I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow!" Jenny said, smiling and turning to go to her mothers car, waiting on the curb.
Andrea made a mental note in her head to stop by some stores on the way home to find Jenny a present to give to her tomorrow. Andrea and Jackie, another friend of theirs would be going over to Jennys house the next day. The three of them had been great friends since elementary school. They were now Juniors in high school, and still always got together. Jackie went to another school, and her and Jenny were still only sixteen years-old.
Andrea looked into her left side car mirror, pulling her shoulder-length blonde hair into a low ponytail. Her brown eyes saw her ex-boyfriend Vince walking by in the background with his friends, and some other girl. 'What a jackass, dumps one and moves onto the next best thing.' The two had been couples for roughly over a year and a half, she thought he was happy, but he obviously wasn't. He said their split would be for the better, and he said he still wanted to be friends. But it didn't look like they were on speaking terms with each other, they hadn't spoken since the breakup.
She sighed and got in the car starting the engine up, and pulling out of the school parking lot. 'What a great fucking day.'

"Andrea where the hell have you been? I've called your cell at least fifteen times in the past hour!" Her mother said from the kitchen as Andrea walked through the door. How typical of her mother, she was always so overprotective and worried. Andrea hardly ever bothered answering her cell anymore unless she knew it was one of her friends, because it was always her mom asking where she was.
"Sorry, I went to get some Valentine's gifts." she answered.
Her mother took note of the flowers she held in her hand and smiled. "Please call me then, I get worried sick about you! I have five other kids to take care of and you need to let me know where you are! Anyways, I see you and Vince are back together."
Andrea looked at the flowers, the thought of Vince made her want to slap somebody. "Oh no, these are from Jenn."
"How nice, well your father and I got you a little something. He's not home yet but I can't wait any longer to give it to you, stay right there, I'll go get it."
'More candy? It's always that damn candy, are they trying to make me gain some weight?' Andrea, like her other siblings was very skinny, at only ninty pounds at the most, it made her look anorexic at her five foot four height. But she wasn't, she constantly ate, it was just something that kind of ran in the family, she figured once she got into her mid-twenties or had some kids she would gain more weight.
Her mother came back into the room a couple minutes later with a black velvet box in her hand. 'Wow, it isn't candy, what a change.' Her mother seemed very excited about the gift, she handed it to her urging her to open it. "Well, open it! Hurry up!"
She opened the little box, revealing a plain gold band. 'Wow, two pretty things in one day. Maybe Valentine's Day isn't so bad after all.' Andrea was so busy taking in it's beauty, that she hardly noticed her mother asking her if she liked it. "Your father picked it out for you, we both knew you would just love it, do you?"
Andrea looked at her mother smiling, "I love it, thank you so much!" she said hugging her mom.
Andrea and her mother rarely got along. She had five younger bratty siblings, and it kind of got in the way of their relationship. She loved times like this, it made her feel special, and it also made her feel close to her mom.
Her mother clapped her hands, "Great! I'm happy. Happy Valentine's Day sweetheart, I love you." she kissed her daughter on the cheek and went back into the kitchen to start making dinner.
********************
Andrea sat on her big blue bed at 2 o'clock in the morning examining her new ring. She still had not put it on yet, she wanted to put it on first infront of her friends, hell, she hadn't even taken it out of the velvet box. She just would look at it, staring in awe. It was some kind of magnetic beauty that caused her to be so drawn to it. She felt weird around it, she couldn't explain it, like there was some kind of amazing history to this ring.
'Nah, I'm getting way over my head. There is nothing more to this ring than what I see, it's just a plain old gold band, and that's it.'
She kept trying to tell her head that, but there was a lot of nagging telling her otherwise. She looked at the ring one last time before turning her bedroom light off.
'I can't wait to show it off to Jenny and Jackie tomorrow, they'll love it.'
And with that, she fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
