Frodo: I will admit that you follow pretty close to Tolkien. (Flips through
Lord of the Rings)
Pippin: Have you been reading that the entire time?!
Frodo: Well.almost the entire time. I stopped long enough to eat some
mushrooms.
Pippin: Mushrooms? Where? Where? (Runs around the room looking for
mushrooms)
Merry: Piiippin. (Holds up a mushroom and Pippin tries to grab it from his
cousin who climbs up on a chair and holds it just out of Pippin's reach)
Pippin: Merry!! You big, mean.mean.. big. O! Merry! Just give it to me,
will you?
Sam: Pippin, I have some mushrooms over here. (Pippin runs over, hugs Sam
and starts to eat a mushroom.)
Me: Well, what do you think of my fic?
Frodo: I like it. I've read better ones but its fine.
Me: O! I love you Frodo! I just want to put you in a box and take you
everywhere with me forever!!(Ok, ok. I know that is really lame but you
just have to love Frodo. He's irresistible with those purdy blue eyes!)
Frodo: o.O
Sam: It had Elves in it.
Me: . do you always say that?
Sam: (talking to himself) Do I always say that? But it does have Elves in
it and I do like Elves.(looks up to see us all staring at him) What?!
Pippin: You're talking to yourself again, Sam.
Sam: Do I talk to myself? (To himself) do I really? I don't think.(realizes
what he is doing and blushes)
Merry: I like it. It needs something else though.something. I'll think of
it in a minute. (Totally spaces out)
Pippin: I like it! I like it!
Me: O! Pippin, I just love Merry and your accents!!(Hugs Pippin until he
can't breathe)
Pippin: Aaaaahhhh!! I.. *gasp*.can't.breathe.
Me: Sorry, Pippin. One thing though.
Pippin: What?
Me: Do you know Elijah or Billy's phone number?
Pippin: Elijah? Billy who? (To himself) what's a phone number?
Me: Elijah Wood and Billy Boyd. One is the adorable Scottish actor who
plays y-o, never mind!
Merry: It needs surfing!
Everyone: .
Merry: What?
Sam and Pippin: What's surfing?
Merry: .You know, I don't know. It just came to me. It sounds like fun,
though.
- Ok, are you getting bored yet? But.if any of you out there knows Billy
Boyd, Elijah Wood, or Orlando Bloom's phone number, could you pass it on to
me? I already have Dominic Monaghan's. ^__^ Thanks! -

The next day, we set out from Lothlorien and started on the journey to the
White City of Gondor. I rode beside Arwen, who was humming.
'What are you humming?' I asked. She glanced at me as if awaken suddenly from a dream.
'Aniron,'(which is 'I desire' in Elvish) She answered.
'Will you sing it?' I inquired. She slowly shook her head.
'I'd rather not, if that's ok.' I shrugged and road up along side of one of Arwen's brothers, Elrohir. He glanced at me and smiled briefly. 'How is she?' He said, asking about Arwen.
'I don't know. She won't really talk to me.' I answered. He nodded. We rode on in silence for a few minutes then I started to hum the song I had heard Gandalf singing when he had left Rivendell once. The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. 'Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can.' Elrohir's voice suddenly trailed off when he noticed I wasn't humming any more. I looked at him.
'You know that song?' Elrohir blushed and nodded his head. I started to softly sing it again. The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road had gone Elrohir's voice joined mine and together we sang Gandalf's song. And I must follow, if I can Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And wither then? I cannot say. Our voices ended and we were silent again. 'It's kind of like right now.' I said. Elrohir looked at me with a questioning eye. 'You know.this quest we're on right now. We haven't been through something like this in over 3,000 years. We are traveling into the perils of an unknown and dangerous land. We are following a Road and we don't really know where it will take us, but we still follow.'
He nodded and then turned his gaze on me. He raised an eyebrow and said, 'My sister told me that you were like a little child, not knowing when to stop and not understanding things. You seem to understand what we are going through better than any of us.'
I laughed. 'O, gosh. You don't know the real me. Trust me, I'll all Arwen says I am and I act like a child more that you could imagine. But its fun and I can't help it. I guess that's why I like the Hobbits so much. They are so child-like and they're just so innocent.'
Elrohir nodded. 'Yea, I guess I do know what you mean. I like to be carefree at times, its just, with all that is happening, it's hard to be happy all the time.' I shook my head. 'I'm not always this happy you know. I have a bad temper that you just haven't seen yet.' I laughed. 'You don't want to see it, trust me. I can get very grumpy sometimes.'
'But you're not right now, and I think I might be able to handle your temper.' Elrohir said.
'O, really?' I questioned.
Elrohir raised an eyebrow at me and nodded. 'Possibly,' he said. He turned back and said to his father, I am going to go on ahead and scout out an area to rest.' Elrond nodded his agreement and he raced off down the trails. We didn't see him until late that night, when we finally did reach the spot where it was safe to spend the night. As I lay down to sleep beside Arwen, I thought. Not of anything important, really. Just about Pippin, Merry, Sam, and Frodo. I didn't know how they truly were and I wanted them to be safe. They had to be, and if they weren't I'd wish them to be.
'What are you humming?' I asked. She glanced at me as if awaken suddenly from a dream.
'Aniron,'(which is 'I desire' in Elvish) She answered.
