~ Chapter 5 ~

We won our debate! Yay!

The Ring Wraith charged at Michelle, holding its sword like a lance.

"DIE!" began Michelle, her face lighting up. However, before either combatant could do anything, a form fell from the sky.

WHUMP.

A form fell from the sky, landing with a satisfying 'thump' on the Ring Wraith. The creature screeched and crumpled over its horse.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed the newcomer. "AHHHH! AHHHH! AHHHH! AHHHH!" She struggled to get off the Ring Wraith. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"

"Hi, Katie," said Michelle pleasantly. "What are you doing here?"

Katie stopped screaming and looked at Michelle. "Hi, Squishy," she grinned, waving. The Ring Wraith wheezed, crashing onto the ground, unnoticed by either girl.

With a groan, the Ring Wraith picked itself up from off the floor and staggered into the underbrush.

"I was wondering where you guys were," said Katie. "Where'd you go?"

"Here," said Michelle, looking confused. "At least....I THINK that's where I went. But if I'm here, then I can't GO here, I can only COME here. That sounds like Rachel....or Tangerine. I dunno....does that even make sense?" She screwed up her face. "Blah! You've stuffed me up now. I'm confused."

Katie blinked.

Back 2 the Fellowship.

A/N (Author's Note)

Dozzat sound weird?

E/A/N (End of Author's Note)

"Oh!" Victoria stopped scowling. "Yeah! I CAN!"

Rachel shook her head sadly. "And you took your own sweet time in understanding."

"Well, she IS Biscuit," said Christina, beaming widely. "Hee hee! Geddit? Biscuit? Sweet time? SWEET BISCUIT?" She completely lost control of herself and threw her head back, laughing.

Sue giggled. "That IS funny," she said. "But I'm going back to Jarrah." She sighed, and her eyes grew dreamy.

A/N

Sue's looking over my shoulder. She just told me that 'Jarrah' has two 'r's' in it. We (Vic 'n I) thought she said 'two arses'. Whoops.

E/A/N

"Save us," mumbled Rachel, casting her eyes skyward.

"Who's Jarrah?" asked Stephanie, curiously.

"A guy that Sue has a crush on," explained Victoria, grinning wickedly. "Isn't that right, Sue?"

Sue flapped her hands in a flustered manner, blushing. "Just....shut up about him, OK?"

A/N

Sue's pissed that I'm writing about her crush. Oh well. She's been pissing ME off for the past few weeks. Don't annoy me, Sue. I can do very, very nasty things to you.

E/A/N

"Okay, but you were the one who brought him up," shrugged Rachel, spreading her hands in defeat.

"Actually, if you think about it, it was his mother who-"

Gandalf levelled his staff at the girl, issuing a blast of white magic. Sue hardly had time to protest before she went flying back, back, back, into the world of Harry Potter.

"Yay!" exclaimed Rachel, clapping her hands together. "She's gone!"

"Where's Michelle?" asked Victoria suddenly, looking puzzled.

"Who knows, who cares?" shrugged Rachel.

Victoria nodded thoughtfully. "True," she admitted.

"We have wasted far too much time listening to this nonsense!" snapped Gandalf, looking angry again. He and the rest of the Fellowship had been listening patiently to the dialogue for quite a while, but his patience had reached its limit. "Leave, all of you!"

A shocked silence followed, only to be broken by Rachel.

"I don't mean to be rude," she remarked mildly. "But you don't have to listen. I mean, we're not keeping you here, are we? Do you see any chains binding you to the spot?"

Gandalf glowered.

"I thought so." Rachel smiled sweetly at him. "So why complain? You're free to leave anytime you like."

No one moved.

"Well, there you have it," beamed Rachel. "Looks like there's nothing to complain about then, hey?"

"Y'know, you can be really, really, REALLY annoying," said Victoria.

"I don't only HAVE the potential to irritate people," corrected Rachel. "I USE it."

"So we noticed," said Victoria.

"REALLY?" Rachel's eyes grew wide. "DID you, now? Cuz I was wondering why you kept swearing at me and telling me to shut up-"

"Well you need wonder no more," said Legolas. He looked at Victoria eagerly. "Is that good? Was that offensive?"

Victoria smiled dreamily back at him. "Yeah."

Rachel choked.

"Come, Frodo!" boomed Gandalf. "We must be on our way."

"Aw...." Frodo looked reluctant. "But my feet hurt, and- well, I think they're actually quite amusing."

"AMUSING?" gasped Victoria, eyes wide. "HOW DARE YOU!"

"He dares, Vicky," said Rachel. "He dares."
