"Hurry!" whispered Aragorn, pulling Gimli to his feet. "I'll carry the supplies and the two hobbits. Put the girls on the horse. We have to go. Now."
"What's happening?" asked Gimli, looking around. His eye rested on Boromir, who was still sleeping peacefully. "What about Boromir?"
"He's staying," replied Aragorn, with a tone of finality in his voice that said there would be no argument til later.
Gimli understood. Packing his things, he was ready in a minute.
Victoria frowned and stared at the place where Gandalf had been the night before. "I still don't get it," she said. "Where'd he go?"
"I don't know," said Aragorn irritably. "Tell, me, did you dream last night?"
"What?" Victoria stared. "What the hell?"
Stephanie nodded. "Yes."
"Well, DUH I friggin hell did!" snapped Michelle.
"Michelle!" scolded Victoria. "Language!"
The other girl stuck her tongue out at her. "F off, Vicky."
"Yeah, you 'B'," sneered Rachel. "Ooh....watch her language."
"Don't be so....so...." Victoria searched for a word. "You."
Rachel smiled wryly. "Thanks."
Christina looked blank. "Huh?"
"Well at least SOME things haven't changed," shrugged Rachel.
"Huh?"
"I rest my case."
Michelle snorted.
Suddenly, Christina burst out laughing. "OH! I GET IT! THAT'S SO STOOPID! HAHAHAHA!"
Victoria sighed. "Wait for it...."
Christina blinked again as the Fellowship held its breath. "Hey! That's mean! You're all meanie poos!"
Victoria nodded. "Let's go."
"Allons-y," said Rachel.
"Shut up," replied Pippin. He giggled, but before he could say it again, Rachel had bent over, as if interested in the large rock on the ground.
"Look," she said, pointing to it. "A rock."
"Huh?" Pippin leaned closer to get a better look, but as he did so, Rachel grabbed him by his collar, picking the rock up in her other hand. Prising his jaws open with her fingers, she shoved the rock in.
"Ha!" Rachel stood up and clapped her hands in delight. "Suffer, hobbit!"
"HEY!" Aragorn rushed to the hobbit's rescue. "Why'd you do that?"
The tall girl shrugged. "He was annoying me."
"SO?" snapped Victoria. "YOU annoy US. WE don't go round shoving rocks into YOUR mouth."
Opening her mouth to say something nasty, the girl suddenly twitched, as if she had been hit by something invisible, square in the chest. Then she blinked, looking mortified. "Oh my goodness!" she gasped, her eyes bright and turning quite red. "You're RIGHT! I AM horrible! I AM annoying! I'm so sorry!" She buried her face in her hands, sobbing hysterically. "Will you ever forgive me?"

What da HELL?! What's HAPPENING to me?!
Has the tart, caustic, cynical Queen of Sarcasm truly....CHANGED for the BETTER?!
Is this dreadful change from bad to good going to last any longer than this paragraph?!
