Author's note: Hello again. I just posted my first story like 10 minutes
ago, so I figured I'd write another chapter before I get any flammage, or
before I forget what I wrote about. So here goes.oh, and again, please, no
flaming, but constructive criticism is welcome always. And remember, Spike
is hot.Angel is fat.
Disclaimer: No, I still don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Lord of the Rings but, in Shellie's (an awesome writer, go read her story, after mine of course) words- if I had the money, I'd buy both. I offered my brothers as payment but they said no. What more could they want.all the screaming.okay, getting off topic. Anyway, I don't own them and I doubt I ever will. But read the story anyway.please?

"Bad orc! Bad orc!" Gollum struggled against his ropes, and Spike rinsed off a bite mark on his hand.
"Now, what is your name?" Buffy asked, stooping down.
"We has many names.Sméagol.but not much. Gollum.call usses Gollum."
"Okay, Gollum, where did you come from?" Buffy asked gently.
"Many places.we come from the earth, where the hoof beatses are heard.the sky, we hears beating wings and cries.the water, the water has fisshes.you find us in the water.on the middle-earth."
"Hey Will, where's the middle of the earth?"
"Like the core or the equator?"
"Gollum, was it really hot where you were?"
"Only when we was walking lots or when we where near his mountain."
"Whose mountain?" Willow asked trying to get him to give her a clue where he came from, by some sort of landmark.
"His. Sauron's Mount Doom.it hurts everything.and sees all with the eye. Whens we did hold our precious; we sawed him sometimes, didn't we precious? Yes, then the nasty hobbits.the Bagginses steal her from us! Bad hobbits! Bad Baggins!"
"Got that, Red? Middle-Earth, Sauron, Mount Doom, hobbits named Baggins. Go google."
Willow rushed upstairs to her laptop, and sat down, ready to google. Then she remembered, she tripped over her chair running to her bookshelf, but found what she was looking for. "BUFFY!"
Buffy came bounding up the stairs, ready for a fight to save Willow, but all she found was her bookworm friend reading a book, not abnormal. "What?"
"This book, it's a classic, it's called Lord of the Rings."
"Really? I, uh, thought you were googling?"
"No, I didn't need to. These books are all about Middle-Earth. It's a fantasy world with all sorts of demons and fantasy creatures!"
"What kind of fantasy creatures?"
"Elves, dwarves, hobbits, and men. Except their world isn't completely dominated by men, like ours. In Middle-Earth, men are actually the weakest. Listen to this:
Three Rings for the Elven-Kings under the sky, Seven for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for the mortal men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his throne In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
"That's nice, but I don't understand-"
"I read this a long time ago, but I remember that Gollum was the wretched creature that used to be a hobbit, and was tortured by the 'One Ring' for, like, 500 years! It 'poisoned his mind' and he became Gollum, an evil side of Sméagol. Sauron is the Dark Lord, and the Baggins are hobbits. The uncle, Bilbo, he found the ring in Gollum's cave. His nephew, Frodo, decided to take the ring on a quest to destroy it, and rid Middle-Earth of all evil forever."
"That's a good summary for reading it a long time ago."
"Well, I saw the movie, too."
"But it gives us a lot to work with. Thanks Will, you always come through." Willow gave her the sweet smile that she always had, the one that said 'no problem' in complete innocence. It gave Buffy hope that she had the best friends in the world, and that Slayers really could have a social life.
Buffy brought the book downstairs with Willow close in tow. She heard someone come in the door.
"Buffy!"
"Yeah, Dawnie? Oh my god! What happened?"
"Somebody pushed me in the pool-of-glowsticks, and some broke." It sounded like a good explanation, Dawn was glowing like a demon of some kind. It was pretty funny, even though it looked like her beautiful, flowing, white dress was ruined.
"Slayer!" Spike called from downstairs. "Help!"
Buffy scrambled down the stairs, Willow and Dawn close behind. When Gollum saw Dawn, he inched into the corner. "Elf! Bad elveses! Their ropes burn us, and the arrows prick us!"
"What elf?"
"There! With hair like sticky mud, and glowing like a white star!" He pointed to Dawn. Buffy seized the opportunity of Gollum being scared of something besides Spike, because Spike wouldn't be there the whole day, if they didn't solve this mystery by sunrise.
"Oh, that elf. Yeah, she'll get you with her special elf ropes and arrows if you don't be good."
"Oh, we be good! Do not hurt us!"
"You'd better. Spike, go home, you've gotten bitten more than you've bitten anything else today. The sun'll be up soon."
"Well, have fun, luv." There was the name again. Buffy melted.
"Yeah."
