Chapter 10: How the secret meeting turned into a non-secret meeting.

Disclaimers in part one. Also, I am just borrowing the lines in this story from the movie. I don't even know if they are directly word for word. I just use the words that I can remember from my mind. And we all know how well that works! ;)

Jenn= Boromir!!! (YAY!!) Frodo, Merry, and Gandalf.

Lindsey= Gimli, and Leogolas. Also, Strider/Aragorn, Pip, Sam, and Elrond

Okay on to the next chapter!!!


~**~LOTR~**~LOTR~**~LOTR~**~LOTR~**~LOTR~**~LOTR~**~LOTR~**~LOTR~**~LOTR~**~

Here we go again, not only have I continued to use THE ring for the ring, I have also used Aragorn and Strider in the same sentence and changed it throughout the story. Oh this time the words between the **...**'s are in italic, and they are NOT said in a sideways head thing like Pip does. Okay, if you understood that then you are ready to read this chapter. If you are like me and did not understand what I just wrote, it's okay you'll still understand this chapter. Have fun!!
This was one really fun story to write I hope you guys enjoyed it. :)



Boromir turns to look at Aragorn on the ground and says, "Red looks good on you."

"Oh be quiet!" was Striders only response.

"Make me!" Boromir challenged.

"You don't want me to," Aragorn threatened.

"Yeah I do!"

Elrond was getting a little angry here.

"ENOUGH!! You two are acting like little boys! This is a council meeting! Not the third grade!"

Leogolas rolled his eyes.

Boromir and Aragorn both said, "Sorry."

Frodo was getting a little impatient, "Can we get this show on the road?"

Everyone either ignored Frodo or didn't hear him.

"Now, where was I?" Elrond asked.

"The matter of the ring," Frodo answered.

"Ah yes," getting back into his serious voice, "THE ring must be destroyed."

Boromir stood up, "No you can not destroy it! It can be mine all mine!!" Laughs evilly.

"Hey! This is a repeat! I've seen this episode already."

"Sit down Boromir," Aragorn said.

Boromir sat down and said nothing.

Elrond said again, "THE ring must be destroyed," Boromir opened his mouth, but Elrond caught him, "Don't do it Boromir." Boromir closed his mouth.

"Yes Master Elrond," Leogolas said, "You already said that."

"Three times to be exact actually," Gandalf said, "But hey who's counting?"

"Well, apparently you are," Boromir said.

Frodo decided to change the subject, "So, what's the secret that brought along this secret meeting?"

"That someone must take the ring to Mt. Doom and destroy it. If the Enemy finds out...it would be really really really really really bad." Elrond said.

"Really?" Aragorn asked.

"Yes," Elrond answered.

"But who will risk their lives to go destroy that!?" Boromir said.

"That's what we are here for," Elrond told them

For some strange reason Boromir just growls.

Aragorn stated, "I think Boromir's turning into some kind of animal."

"Yeah and you better be careful Strider, I can bite your head off," Boromir sneered. "There is Evil there that does not sleep." Boromir says.

"Uh huh, sure!" Aragorn looked really scared. (That was sarcastic, if no one picked that up.)

Boromir changed the subject, "So is someone going to raise their hand and scream. "Pick me! Pick me!"

Glorfindel raises his hand, "Pick me! Pick me!"

Elrond frowned, "No Glorfindel, you have to stay here."

"Aawwwwwwwwwwwww! Come on!"

"Anybody else?" Elrond asked.


"Boromir should have to go, he's so quick to contradict everything," Leogolas suggested.

"Me! No!!"

Frodo rolls his eyes, "I'll do it!!" No said a word and Frodo said again, "I said I'll do it!!"

"Very good, we have one!" Elrond said.

"But I am afraid I do not know the way," Frodo said.

"Then I will free you of this bourdon, so long as it's yours to bear," Gandalf said.

Aragorn kneeled in front of Frodo so that he was eye to eye with the little one and said, "I shall accompany you. You have my sword."

"And you have my bow," Leogolas said.

"And my axe," Gimli added.

"Well, I guess you'll need someone to keep you guys safe," Boromir said and laughed a little. Aragorn, Gimli, Frodo, Leogolas, and Gandalf all look at him and laugh. Once they stop laughing Boromir says, "I mean. You carry the fate of us all little one. If it is the word of the council, then Gondor will see it done."

"So be it," Elrond said, "You five..."

"Make that four and a half if you count Boromir!" Aragorn says.

"Hey!" Boromir yelled back.

Aragorn just laughs.

Elrond sighs.

"Strider?!" Boromir makes his fist into a tight ball.

"What?" Aragorn asked innocently.

Sam runs into the council, "Sorry... I was late... I missed my cue..." looks around and sees a lot of confused faces, "Let's try this again." Runs back to his hiding place and runs out again, "Here! Mr. Frodo is not going anywhere without me!"

"No, indeed it is highly possible to separate you two. Even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not." Elrond said.

Then Merry and Pip run out too.

"Wait! We're comin' too!" Pip announces.

"You'll have to send us all tied up in a sack to stop us," Merry said.

Elrond looks surprised, "Well, so much for a 'secret' meeting."

"Anyways! You need people of intelligence on this sort of messy... quest... thing," Pip crosses his arms over his chest and nods his head.

"Well, that rules you out Pip," Merry said.

"So be it. Nine Companions," Elrond said.

"Well, eight and a half if you count Boromir," Aragorn said and laughed.

"Hey! It was only funny the first time round," Boromir pauses and then says, "Actually it wasn't even that funny the first time round!"

"Yes it was," Aragorn said and laughed.

"Like I was saying," Elrond said, " Nine Companions. I shall name you "The Fellowship of the ring"."

"Great! So... where we going?" Pip asks.

Everyone laughs.

"What?" Pip has no clue why everyone is laughing.

"You are going to Mt. Doom," Elrond answered him.

"Oh cool!" Merry said.

"Sounds like fun." Pip added.

"So, what is it?" Merry asked a little confused.

"It's a mountain," Sam answered.

"Ooooooo!" Merry 'oooo'ed.

"Exactly," Pip said.

"Now you will all leave tomorrow. We will give you only what you need," Elrond was telling them.

Merry, who was not very interested in what Elrond was saying said, "So, when do we eat?"

"Didn't you **just** eat?" Elrond asked.

"We did?" Pip asked.

Leogolas sighs.

"Well, anyway, this non-secret meeting is over. Well, at least it wasn't a complete disaster." Elrond stated.

"That's what you think!" Boromir said

"Uh-oh," was all that Aragorn could say before Boromir tackles him and starts to beat on him. "Ahhh!" Aragorn screams, but fights back.


"You hit like a girl!!" Boromir screamed.

"Um..." Pip didn't know if he should go eat, or do something about the two men fighting.

"Come on Strider!" Merry cheers Aragorn on.

Aragorn socks Boromir in the face, "Any better?"

Frodo started to get into it too, "Come on give him the left!! The left!!" Sighs angrily, "YOUR OTHER LEFT!!"

"Who are you cheering on?" Merry asked.

"I don't know."

"Ow! Where did that come from?" Boromir said, "Don't make me have to throw you out the window!"

"Not unless I throw you first!" Aragorn yelled.

Gandalf was getting a little angry and he raised his hands, "That's enough!" he spreads his arms, making the two men fly into the air, and away from each other.

"Hmm... maybe this fellowship should be redone." Elrond suggests.

"No! They **will** work together!" Gandalf stated, "Even if it kills them."

"Then it is settled," Elrond said.

"Yes it is," Gandalf said.

"It's Boromir's fault!" Aragorn whined and crossed his arms on his chest.

"Whatever you say Strider," Gandalf said and started to walk away.

"Hey! What about us?" Boromir asked.

"You two will stay up there until you guys can learn to work together." Gandalf informed them.

"Well, it'll be awhile," Gimli said.

"Probably take forever," Boromir agreed.

"Then that's how long we'll wait."

"Oh thanks a lot Boromir!" Aragorn yelled at him.

"No problem!"

Leogolas sits down and makes himself comfortable.

"Hmmmm." Is all that Pip could say.

Then pip thought of another thing to say. So he elbowed Merry in the side lightly and asked, "So, why were they fighting?"

"Because... because... because... they are too strange."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Is it a Big Folk thing?"

"Yes! That's it pip! It's a Big Folk thing!"

"Oh okay."

"Gandalf you can let us down now!" Aragorn shouts.

Gimli mutters something about crazy humans.

Gandalf is not there.

"Well, I am leaving too," Gimli says and leaves.

"Me too," Leogolas stands up and leaves.

"You guys hungry?" Frodo asks.

"Do birds fly?" Merry asks.

"Uhhh..."

"That means yes Frodo," Pip says. They all leave to eat.


"Oh this is just great! This is all your fault Boromir."

"My fault! It's all your fault!"

"You're the one who jumped on me!!"

"But you started with me!!"

"Yeah, well you got us stuck up here."

"If you kept on giving out your girlie punches then I just would of won and we wouldn't be up here."

"And," Strider rubs his eye, "A nice black eye to go with it."

"So you see it looks like it's all your fault!!"

"Girlie punches! Rangers don't punch like girls!!"

Gandalf comes back, "Well, it sounds like you guys are still fighting!" he says and leaves.

Aragorn sighs.

"Your fault."

"Yes."

"Ooooo! The mighty strider admits to it! Shocking!"

"Yes I admit! Just so maybe we'll get down.

"Good idea! GANDALF!!!"

"GANDALF!!!!"

Gandalf does not show up.

Aragorn sighs again.


"Wanna play paper rock scissors?"

"What for?"

"To pass the time."

"Sure why not."

TO BE CONTINUED...


FIRST.... I would like to apologize for the "Hit's like a girl" comment because a lot of girls probably have a lot of nice left or right hooks. I mean even the I have a pretty mean left... I mean right. Yes right hook. I don't really know, but I bet so.
ANYWAYS....
Do you think that they had grade school in Middle-Earth way back when?
Don't you just love it how Boromir calls the hobbits little one? I do! I love the hobbits! They are sooo awesome! And Sam! He's really cool! And Merry and Pip! Awesome!! And Frodo gotta love Frodo too! Sorry, I know that the part where Boromir says, "There is evil there that does not sleep," Just comes out from nowhere, but that's like the only line that I knew completely well. :)
So why does Boromir tackle Aragorn? It's one of those answer it yourself kind of questions. What ever you think the answer is you are right! :) Okay the truth is, is that I don't even know, and he's my character! I still say it's Aragorn's fault though! :)
"Throw you out the window"? What the heck is that? There's no windows outside! Don't ask, just don't ask.
