Disclaimer: Sorry, I forgot to add one of these in my last chapter. Well, it's here now. I don't own Bilbo, Frodo, Merry, Pippin or Sam.

A/N: Sorry about the shortness of these chapters, they'll get longer. *Crosses fingers*

"Yes, yes we know that! Help us up, please!" came the answer up from within the depths of the hobbit pile.

Pushing her glasses excitedly up her nose, she recognized each hobbit as she lifted them up one by one. Merry, Pippin, Sam, Frodo and Bilbo, who was the one who had called her.

"Hello!" said Merry cheerfully, then with a sudden change of mood, "Where the *CENSORED MATERIAL* are we?!"

"My, my!" Danielle gasped. "I had no idea hobbits like yourselves knew such language!"

There were muttered "Shut up" s and "Don't insult her, she looks like she knows where we are" and numerous pokes from the other hobbits directed toward Merry.

Bilbo stepped forward, acting as spoke- person, err, hobbit. "Um, excuse me miss, we were wondering where exactly we are. These surroundings are not familiar to us."

"Well, if you are who I think you are, you are correct. These 'surroundings', as you put it, shouldn't be." Seeing a questioning look from the hobbits, Danielle explained. "Well, you are hobbits, halflings if you will, from the Shire are you not?" With nods from the hobbits, she continued, pointing as Bilbo. "You, sir, are Mister Bilbo Baggins, you," pointing now at Frodo, "are Frodo Baggins." She then proceeded to point at each hobbit in turn and give their names.

The hobbits were struck dumb, numb with shock at the complete stranger knowing exactly who they were. Timidly, Bilbo asked, "Would you care to explain as to how you seem to know exactly who we are, when none of us has ever seen you before?"

With a start, Danielle realized that she had not even introduced herself. She laughed out loud. "How silly of me! Danielle Markewicz at your service." Remembering this greeting from the Hobbit.

"What a strange name. . ." started Bilbo, then trailing off.

"Right. Hmm. . . how do I explain this?" Danielle commenced. "Lemme see. Well, first of all you are no longer in Middle-Earth for that matter. You are now in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada ^_^."

"Well I've never heard of this Can-aaa-daaa" said Sam, pronouncing the country's name slowly. "Have you, Mr. Bilbo?"

"No, can't say I have. Hmm. . . this is puzzling. Do you have a map of this Can-aaa-daaa?" replied Bilbo.

"Yep, gimme half a tick." Answered Danielle, and with that, scurried downstairs.

A few minutes later, she returned with an atlas, only to find the five hobbits staring around her room at her clock radio, her computer and all the other technological stuff in the immediate area.

"No! Wait! I'm doing this all wrong!" yelled Danielle suddenly. "First of all, what year is it? I mean in your time."

"Well, now it's 13 A.D.R." replied Bilbo.

"Umm, okay, what's A.D.R. stand for?" asked Danielle, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, it 'After Destruction of the Ring."

A/N: I just made up the time 'cause I'm too lazy to check what time period they go by in the LOTR series.

"Good! Okay, if you'd like, you can read these then." She said, handing her LOTR and The Hobbit books.

"Daaaaaniiiiiieeeellllle!!" yelled a voice from downstairs, startling all of the hobbits. "Come here this instant!"
