It seemed to Mablung (Kitty) and Damrod (Dimrod) that things couldn't have gotten much worse for them. It was bad enough when just Rachael had been there, but now there were two more who seemed just as annoying, and now they had nicknames. And they'd thought they'd escaped that!
How wrong they were.
That night, at dinner, the four of them sat around the fire, talking. Damrod and Mablung were getting made fun of, and since they didn't know most of the words (slang, as Blaire and Rachael called it), they couldn't make any intelligent response to their comments.
Just then, a guard came in, dragging what seemed to be a boy about Allyn, Rachael, and Blaire's age behind him. The boy was putting up a good fight, and when the guard stopped he put the guard in a joint lock and yelled, "Stay away, or I'll put you all in joint locks!"
Blaire and Rachael shouted, "Sean?"
The boy stopped, then stared at them.
"This just keeps getting better and better," Blaire said as she got up to go tell Sean to let the guard go.
Sean let the guard go, of course, who crawled away and whimpered. Sean suffered hugs from both Blaire and Rachael (A/N: he's like an elf: not huggable).
"Your girlfriend is here too," Rachael said after she'd hugged Sean.
"What?" he asked in shock.
"Allyn," Blaire informed him. Taking a look around, she continued, "Although it doesn't look like she's back yet. Last time we saw her she was snogging Faerie-meer."
Sean rubbed his temples. "Why, of all people, did I have to get stuck here with you two?"
Blaire smacked him. "Could have been worse. You could have gotten stuck here with Collin or something."
Sean shuddered. "So where exactly are we?"
Blaire gave him an exasperated look and said, "We're in Middle Earth, genius."
"I know that, but what point are we at in the books?"
"Oh.I wouldn't rely too much on the books. This is very different from the books, trust me," Rachael said, and Blaire nodded energetically to emphasize the point.
"Oi," Sean muttered. "So what's different about this place?"
Blaire pointed at Boromir, who happened to be walking by. He appeared to be looking for his brother, as he was calling out for Faramir every few seconds.
"He's not back yet. He was putting the moves on Allyn last time I saw him," Blaire yelled to him.
Boromir shook his head in severe annoyance and walked away, muttering something about how Faramir thought he was such a stud.
"Okay.point taken. How did you guys get here anyway?" Sean asked.
"I disappeared from the karate school about two weeks ago. Then Saruman found me and sent me off to Sauron, and then Sauron sent me off to find his Ring, that bastard, and then I got to Edoras and then I went to Helm's Deep.it's too long a story to tell. And not worth the effort."
"I was at home, and then I ended up here, surrounded by Rangers. I've been here since," Rachael said. "How did you get here?"
"I was at karate, and then the room started spinning, and then I was on the ground outside there." He pointed at the entrance to the cave.
"So you only just got here? That's odd. I wonder if anyone else is here that we don't know about," Blaire mused.
"Probably."
Blaire went back to take her seat by the fire, followed by Rachael and Sean. Mablung and Damrod had watched the entire exchange with interest, but were a little worried, because now there was another one. Fortunately, they thought, he was male. They obviously didn't know Sean.
Blaire and Rachael were busy explaining all the differences between the books and this Middle Earth, and Sean was actually sitting very quietly, listening for once.
When they'd finished, Sean said, "Okay, this sounds like a lot more fun than the Middle Earth from the books. I want to meet Sauron! He sounds like a cool guy."
Blaire glared at him and said, "He tried to use me."
"That's the point."
Blaire growled. Sean just laughed. Fortunately for Sean, the guards had heated up some water and it was Blaire's turn to take a bath, so there wasn't a chance that they could get into a fight. And the Rangers would definitely have sided with Blaire because she was female.
When Blaire came back, Sean and Rachael were gone, and Mablung and Damrod were finally getting the peace and quiet that they deserved. "Where are those two?" Blaire asked as she sat down by the fire.
"I don't know. They went outside a little while ago, said they were going to talk," Mablung said.
"I don't think they were going to talk, though," Damrod said, amusement in his voice.
Blaire stopped dead, frozen for a moment. Then she exploded. "That's great! All my friends are off snogging their boy toys and left me here with you two!"
"You could snog us," Damrod suggested.
Blaire looked disgusted and snapped, "I'm leaving."
Mablung stared at his friend. "What did you say that for? I certainly don't want to snog her."
"It was just a suggestion. Besides, I don't even know what snog means."
"Then why would you say that?" Mablung yelled.
Damrod shrugged. "I thought that maybe she'd be in a better mood and decide not to call us Dimrod and Kitty anymore."
Mablung shook his head, exasperated. "You're going about it in the wrong way then."
Damrod paused, then asked, "Do you know what it means?"
"No clue."
