Has anyone seen four hobbits?

Chapter 2: Frodo's obsession with rings

Author: Minnie

Legal bla-bla: I own: the plot, me, Nathan (he's made up), the other made- up-characters, two elves, Bob and Chris. But they're at the moment at Elfie Obedience School (It's Luimenel's work. You have to read it!). And I own a lot of other things, but I'm not writing everything down here, no way! So there. I don't own: LotR, Legolas *sobsob*, a life, since I'm writing meaningless stuff like this.

M/N: Five reviews, I said. And when I checked, I'd got six. So here's the second chapter. I just can't understand how I could lose four hobbits!

Summary: I've lost my four hobbitfriends at a picnic, and since I don't want every Tolkien-fan out there to kill me, I decide I have to hurry up and find 'em. First Frodo, 'cause with his obsession, everything can happen…

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*

Minnie stood in the park, all alone. But a moment ago she had had company by four hobbits. But suddenly, all four had disappeared. When she stood there, wondering what to do, her mobile rang. Minnie answered.

"Minnie"

"Where are you?"

Quiet.

"Hello? Sis?"

Then Minnie recognized the voice. It was her little, bratty brother Nathan.

"Nothing, Nat… Why are you calling, anyway?"

"Naw, he said I should call you…"

"He?? Who's he? Nathan, if you've talked to…"

"That brown-haired guy with brown eyes, yes!" (M/N: Interrupting is a natural thing in the relationship between me and Nathan… though he's made up…)

"Whaa!!! You've talked to Elijah?! Elijah Stone?! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, NATHAN!!! Just wait till I get home!"

Nathan laughed before he hang up on her. Minnie sighed.

"Why Elijah of all people? Oh, Tolkien, why are you doing this to me?!"

Then she decided, she had to find Frodo.

"Well, first: let's check the jewellery. Come on!"

This was an attempt to cheer herself up, since she had no one to talk to.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

In a jewellery, a little hobbit stood and looked at rings. Everybody looked at him, 'cause he mumbled "Precious, where's my preciousssss?" every now and then. After 15 minutes, and nine scared-away customers, the jewellery owner walked up to him.

"Excuse me, but what are you looking for? You're scaring the customers"

"Hi, I'm… not Frodo Baggins!"

"Oookay… but mister, do you want something, or are you just here to ruin me?"

"Wants preciousssssss!", Frodo hissed.

"Now I've had enough of you! Get out or… I'll call the police!"

Then, Frodo's ring-obsession got the upper hand, and he broke the glass at a show-case, and grabbed some rings, before he ran out of the building.

"Stop… the little man who stole my rings!!!", the owner shouted out through the door.

Frodo ran as fast as fast as he could to get away from everybody who tried to catch him. Finally, he found a hole to hide in, and watched all people run past him. He snickered, and looked at the rings in his hand.

"Precioussssss, where's my precioussss?"

He started to look at them, in hope to find the One… (M/N: *deeeeep sigh*)

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Not far away, Minnie stood and looked around, confused. She had been to every single jewellery in town, but she still hadn't found Frodo.

"I'm so going to kill him if he steals something", she muttered to herself.

Then she heard people shouting "Catch him!" and things like that. She got a bit worried, and went to see what was happening. When she walked around a corner, a woman ran into her.

"Oh, sorry!", the woman excused.

"Who are you chasing?", Minnie asked.

"A little man who has stolen some rings from Abraham's jewellery"

"A little man?"

"Yeah, with brown, curly hair and big feet"

"Oh no!", Minnie sighed.

"What? Do you know him?"

"Yeah, you can say so. His name is Frodo Baggins, and he's a hobbit"

"A what?"

"Naw, never mind. Where did he go?"

"That way", the woman said and pointed down the street.

"Thank you!"

Minnie ran down the street, while she searched after the hobbit.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Suddenly, Frodo got dragged out of the hole by two strong hands, which lifted him up. He looked into the eyes of a policeman.

"Let me go! Wants preciousssss!"

"Okay, it's the one we're looking for", the policeman said to the women who stood next to him. He carried Frodo out to the police car, and drove him to the police station. There he got locked into a cell. Since he had nothing to do, he started to sing "Black socks".

"Black socks they never get dirty.

The longer you wear them the stronger they get

Sometimes I think I should wash them

But something inside me keeps saying not yet, not yet, not yet…"

His voice trailed of. 'Cause he couldn't remember the second verse. So he stopped.

After about half an hour, he heard someone talking, and steps that came closer. He flew up and hurried to the bars. In through the door came a policewoman, and after her came Minnie.

"I'm so sorry! I should have looked after him better!"

They walked up to Frodo.

"Okay, you can go; this girl claims that you're innocent…"

The woman opened the cell door, and Frodo bounced out, and hugged Minnie so hard that she almost couldn't breath.

"Ohthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!"

"Frodo!", Minnie hissed. "You're choking me!"

"Sorry, but I'm just so happy to see you! Can we get out of here now?"

"Yeah, sure…"

When they'd come out, Minnie took a band out of her pocket. She tighed one end of it around her wrist, and the other end 'round Frodo's.

"Now you're going to follow me, and we have to find the others!"

And with that she started to run again, and Frodo had to follow, as fast as he could.
