As promised, that night Blaire took Damrod outside and taught him what snogging was. She came back inside a little while later, looking very nonchalant, and sat down next to her friends.

Rachael looked at her and asked, "So?'

"I think he was a little surprised to find that there was tongue involved," Blaire replied.

Rachael burst out laughing, but Allyn managed to keep a straight face. "But did he enjoy it?"

Blaire thought for a moment, then said, "Yup, I think he did. I suggested cold water as a remedy to his.ahem."

Allyn joined Rachael in laughter. They both started choking and that made Blaire laugh. Soon they were all rolling around on the ground, turning red, then a shade of purple from lack of oxygen. Then Sean appeared in the doorway. "What was I doing laying outside on the ground? I'm soaking wet!"

Then he stopped short and said, "Wait.who are you people?"

Rachael moaned (for the third time- I'm keeping count). "Oh no! Now what are we going to do?"

Blaire looked up. "Why, what's wrong with him?" she asked.

Rachael gave her an exasperated look. "He doesn't remember anything!"

"At least he's not acting like Gollum anymore," Blaire replied, shrugging.

"You could always hit him with the book again," Allyn suggested.

"It didn't work last time!"

"Who says it won't work this time?"

"Me!" Rachael said and walked over to Sean. She hit him over the head with the book, and he fell to the ground. After a few seconds, he stood up, rubbing his head. Then, looking around, he asked, "Where is the precious?"

Rachael pointed at him and said, "See- AH!"

WHACK. "Who the hell are you?"

WHACK. "My precious."

WHACK. "Who the hell are you?"

WHACK. "My precious."

"AHH!" Rachael yelled and whacked him one more time. Sean hit the ground, clutching his head and moaning.

"Maybe he needs a different kind of encouragement to remember," Blaire said slyly.

Rachael glared at her.

"Just a suggestion," Blaire replied cheerily, and ponced off to find Damrod.

Rachael looked at Allyn, who was trying to stifle laughter. "Well, what do you think I should do?"

Allyn put on a straight face and replied, "I don't know. You could always try it, and if he still doesn't remember, hit him with the book again."

Rachael shrugged. "At this point, I'm willing to try anything. The old Sean was annoying, sure, but it was better than this!"

With that, she went over to Sean, who was sitting up and rubbing his head, bent down, and kissed him. Sean looked startled, and Rachael raised an eyebrow at him.

He peered at her a little closer, and then said, "Rachael?"

Rachael shouted with joy and nanced around the fire a few times before noticing five pairs of eyes watching her.

"I am going to kill you! You hit me with that book one more time and I swear." Sean said menacingly as he advanced on Rachael. Rachael backed up until she hit the wall and held up the book to protect her face. When Sean was about to grab her throat and strangle her, she whacked him with the book.

Sean fell to the ground. Rachael looked giddy until Allyn pointed out that now Sean wasn't going to be Sean anymore.

"But then.who's he going to be?" Rachael asked. She turned toward Sean.

Sean was now sitting up and rocking back and forth, chanting, "Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood."

"GODDAMNIT!"

Allyn shook her head at Sean and said, "That is so not right."
The next day, Blaire, Allyn, and Rachael decided to go wash their clothes.because they were getting really smelly. They were down at the stream and talking and laughing. Mostly they were talking about Damrod, Faramir, and Sean, respectively, but Blaire was now getting the most hassle from her friends. What they most wanted to know was if Damrod was a good kisser.

"I am not telling you anything," Blaire said, laughing.

"Why not? Everyone knows everything about me and Faramir!" Allyn said.

"Hehe, oh yeah!" Rachael said.

"Well what about you and Sean? You guys were out pretty late the other night. Did you even come back?"

"Yes, of course we came back," Rachael said, looking around innocently and blushing like crazy.

"Really now?" Allyn commented.

"Yeah.but it doesn't really matter now because he doesn't remember any of it! And that's sad!"

"What's sad?" a voice asked.

The three of them looked up to find Hallie leaning against a tree. She waved at them and then gave them all hugs. "This is so great, there's a whole five of us here now," Blaire said.

"Well.four," Rachael said.

"Oh that's right."

"What?" Hallie said.

Blaire, Allyn, and Rachael all laughed. "We've all been here for at least two weeks, so there's a lot of stuff you don't know. Come on, we'll explain," Rachael said, as they led Hallie back to the cave.
A/N: I stole the blood chanting thing from another fanfic *dodges throw tomatoes*. I hope that doesn't bother the author of that story, and if it does, I'll take it off, but it kinda became a joke between me and my friends, so *gets down on hands and knees and begs* please let me keep it there!
