A/N: To all you readers out there (Random Passing Person: That's right. If
they're reading this, they're readers.) Hey! You admitted I was right! *
sinks in * HEY! * shakes it off * Anyway. . . feel free to point out any
errors or any other such help when reviewing. No matter how small, I will
take note of it if it is HELPFUL advice.
By the by, I saw TTT on Sunday with the very same characters in this fic.
Well, not with the hobbits, but you get the idea.
Danielle, with Sam's help, had collected everyone in the living room to see how they were doing. (Danielle didn't quite trust her friends with the hobbits' education ^_^)
She cleared her throat to get their attention, waited a moment, and then started to speak. "Now I want all of you hobbits to explain exactly what you learn in three hours. Frodo, you go first."
Shifting from foot to hairy foot nervously, "Umm. . . I learned how to play 'The Legend of Zelda', 'MarioKart64', 'SuperSmashBros.' and 'SuperMario64'. "
"Anything that doesn't have to do with Nintendo?"
"No."
"Why am I not surprised?"
"I can't answer that question."
"That's because it's a rhetorical question."
"What does 'rhetorical' mean?"
Danielle sighed. "It's a question that one already knows the answer to so it does not need to be answered."
"Then why'd you ask it? OW!"
Kels had smacked him across the head.
"Okay Kels, stop smacking people and Frodo, stop asking hard questions that I don't know the answer to-" she paused. "Did I say that out loud?" Seeing the amused nods, she muttered "Shit."
"Okaaay. . . moving on. Bilbo, what did you learn?" she looked around the room. "Bilbo?" seeing Gen, she asked frankly "Whatja do with him now?"
"He's a dragon killer. I don't like 'im, so I locked 'im in the closet." She smirked.
"You WHAT?!" Danielle yelled, but before Gen could react, she raced up the stairs and opened the linen closet. An unhappy, duct taped hobbit rolled out.
"You okay?"
"Mpht, mhltl, mmft!"
"Oh, hang on." * rip *
"OW OW OWWWW!!! * CENSORED MATERTIAL * what the * CENSORED MATERTIAL *? * CENSORED MATERTIAL * jeez! * CENSORED MATERTIAL *"
"Woah! Calm down! I'd be surprised if they couldn't hear you in Gondor! Oh, wait." She thought about it, "Hmm. . . ya. Gondor."
"Sorry," mumbled Bilbo.
"S'okay. I know you had a rough time with Gen. C'mon, let's go downstairs."
Bilbo reluctantly waddled downstairs after Danielle. (A/N: My fic, so Bilbo waddles! ^_^)
". . . and have you even read 'The Hobbit'?" shrieked Paula. "If you just read the * CENSORED MATERTIAL * book, we wouldn't-oh. . ." she abruptly stopped when she saw Bilbo return.
Danielle rolled her eyes. "Anyway. . . where were we? Ah, yes. Merry!" she barked. "Explain to me exactly what you learned from Kels."
"Umm. . . I learned that fanfiction.net is the best site on the internet, which is a machine that-I-don't-understand-how-the-hell-it-works- "
"That's enough outta you!" she interrupted. "Pippin, what about you?"
"I learned that ice is cold, water is wet, fire is hot, knives are sharp and umm. . . oh yeah! That you can't walk though walls, ya hafta open the doors first! ^_^"
"o_O Okay. . . Lemme get this strait. Basically none of you, apart from Sam, learned anything at all?"
The hobbits looked at each other, then they all said: "No."
Danielle rubbed her temples. "Why do I even bother?" she muttered.
Unfortunately, Frodo heard. "Is that a rhetorical question too?" Frodo asked.
She stared at him a moment, trying to figure out if he was joking. "-- _-- Yes, that was rhetorical. Hey, wait a sec." She pondered. "You LEARNED something didn't you? Didn't you? What rhetorical means, yes? YES!! I'm getting somewhere!!!"
A/N: That's all for now. I just got a tooth pulled out and the numbing sensation is affect my. . . thing. . . that. . . umm. . . tells me to. . . think. . . and stuff. Anyway, I'll probably get the next chapter out sometime soon. Feel free to try to make it sooner by reviewing! ^_^ (Random Passing Person: That was shameless! Trying to get more reviews for more chapters! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT BEFORE?!) * looks smug * That's why I'm Skipper, and your NOT! (Lauren & Kirsten lol ^_^)
