A/N: Okay… so I guess nobody likes my story. (Sobs.) But I'm continuing anyway. Please review my story! I'll do likewise with yours!
Chapter Two:
I looked on in disbelief. What could possibly be wrong? Everything Gale has thrown at me, I could nail it. This couldn't possibly be any different… could it?
All I could do was swallow hard. "What's the deal?" I asked. Gale looked at me in the eyes. "Do you believe in magic? Fantasy creature, such as elves, dwarves, and wizards? Don't lie to me, Laura. Tell me the truth." All that came out of my mouth was a stutter. I've always heard stories about people sighting elves, but personally I've never seen any other beings besides humans.
"Well, I guess I… I've heard stories but… uh…" I looked around the room nervously. What could she possible mean? I've known Gale for three years, not once has she ever acted like this. All I could do was shrug my shoulders.
"Laura… this sounds a bit weird but, I'm really an elf…" Gale looked out the window again and sighed deeply. I blinked a few times for that sentence to sink in. But it never did.
"My name is Galadriel. I lived in Middle Earth 20,000 years ago. But now that Middle Earth is long gone, I've had to live here, along with all the other elves."
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked, very confused. Call me stupid, but I had no idea what was going on.
"Evil is stirring once again by the Dark Lord, Sauron. And his power is stronger than ever." Gale looked down at the ground and sighed heavily. "I need you to reform the Fellowship of the Ring to once again destroy him."
"Um… okay. No problem?" I raised one eyebrow in confusion, once again. It didn't sound that hard. Find some random guys, and then direct them to their doom. I think? I stood uncomfortably at Gale's longing stare. There was a long, deadly silence. But I finally broke it. "So, what do you need me to do?"
"Follow me." Gale motioned for me to the left, and I followed her lead. We walked down the hallway, but made a sharp right into a dark, secluded hall, one that I never knew was there. Gale opened the first door on the right, and walked inside, as I closely followed.
Gale flipped on the lights to reveal a very typical room. She motioned for me to sit down, and I took a seat. Gale walked over to a desk, and opened one of the drawers. She flipped through a bunch of papers, and found what she needed. She walked back over to me, and showed me the papers.
"These are the people you need to find." She gave me the papers and I thumbed through them. "They're all guys." I observed. "They are the reborn Fellowship of the Ring. You need to reunite them immediately and destroy the Dark Lord, Sauron." Gale said, looking rather sad. "Um… okay. Where do I start?" I flipped through the papers one more time, this time actually reading their profiles. Once I did that, I noticed their location for where to find them. "Oh." I said.
"You must pack your things quickly, you need to start now." Gale replied sternly. I stuttered, barely squeaking out, "Now?" "Yes, Laura, the fate of the world now lies with you." "M-me? Eh heh, okay. I'll be off now…"
I seriously didn't think the fate of the world lied in my hands, but she seemed pretty grave about it. I quickly ran back into my office to pack. I grabbed my black duffle bag filled with all my needs that was hidden in the bottom drawer of my desk. You should always keep a bag like that in your office. You never know when one of these 'leave now' kind of deals spring up.
I hurried back into Gale's office, knocking on her door loudly. "Come in." Was her reply. I swung open the door, and grabbed the profile papers, just in case I forget. I smiled and nodded at Gale as she nodded her head once to me.
Just before I closed the door, I heard Gale's voice. "Good luck. Don't hurt yourself, now." She said, almost sarcastically. "No prob!" I called back, and pulled the door to.
Now I was off to embark on a new mission: Look for this so called 'reincarnated Fellowship' that existed 20,000 years ago. It sounded crazy and totally out there, but I trusted Gale to know what she was doing.

Ok, seriously, the next chapter consists of Lord of the Rings stuff. That was just a basic introduction to the whole LotR related thing. Please review it! And if you didn't like it, don't review it. I just want to know if it's good, well written, or whatever. I'm really working hard on this story. I've got a really good plot building up, but it's farther down the line. It's a mighty good twist too. Please be patient and review in the meantime!!! Please?
