LOTR~*~LOTR~*~ LOTR~*~LOTR~*~ LOTR~*~LOTR~*~ LOTR~*~LOTR~*~ LOTR~*~LOTR~*~ LOTR~*~LOTR~*~
I don't know how we knew it, but we made it morning. I love this chapter and the ones on so much! I hope you love them just as much too! :) Oooooo! There is a line in here from an A-Team episode! Any A-team fans out there, if you find it you get 500 points. But like in "Whose line is it anyways," the points don't matter. :) Okay, I now I shouldn't be mentioning this, but I never could spell Boromir's name right. :'( It was sad. It was always Bromor or Bromir or something like that, but I want you all to know that it's all okay now! :)
Pip runs into the kitchen, "Woo-hoo!" Sits at the table and starts to eat.
Sam also run in excitedly, "Come on Mr. Frodo!"
Mr. Frodo shows up, "I am starved!"
"Good morning," Gandalf enters the room.
"Good morning Gandalf," Frodo smiles.
"Good morning Mr. Gandalf, sir," Sam greeted.
"Good morning Samwise."
Pip makes a beeline for the food and starts eating.
"So where is the rest of our team?" Gandalf asked.
Boromir appears, "Probably still sleeping."
"Morning Boromir," Frodo and Sam both said.
"Hi Boromir!" Merry said.
"Hello little ones," Boromir answered them all.
Leogolas appears too, "Is everyone here yet?"
"We're just waiting for Gimli and Aragorn," Gandalf said.
"Where's Mr. Gimli?" Sam asked.
"Right here," and appears as well.
"All we are waiting for now is Strider," Gandalf pauses and screams, "STRIDER!!!!" and it echoes... echoes... echoes.
"Maybe someone should go get him," Gimli suggests
Gandalf looks at the hobbits, but they were all eating, "Who's going to go get him?"
"Boromir will," Leogolas quickly said
"Don't look at me," Boromir growled. But everyone looked at him anyway. "No I won't do it!!" Gandalf raises his hands and tries to scary Boromir of course it worked, "Fine! I'll leave but not because I'm scared of you old man!" (Sure it is! :)) And he leaves.
Sam looks at Gandalf and laughs a little, "That was good!"
"True, but what got him scared? All I wanted to do was stretch," he laughs. Frodo laughs. Sam laughs.
Pip looks up, has no clue what is going on and then goes back to eating.
"What just happened?" Merry asked. Pip just shrugs.
Frodo laughed and says, "Nothing, I'll tell you later."
Leogolas sits down next to Merry.
"Leogolas! What's up?" Merry asked.
Leogolas looks up, "The sky."
"Um..." Thinks about it, "Why yes it is!" Merry laughs and goes back to eating.
Meanwhile, a strange looking thing; its what we call a "camera"; wanders off to Boromir; really, it grows legs; and follows him.
Boromir feels as though he is being followed so he turns around, and doesn't see a thing, "Hmmm.... interesting, there are some pretty strange things here."
The Camera jumps out of it hiding spot and zooms in on Boromir.
The Camera hits him in the head, "Hey watch what you're doing!" Looks at it, "What is that thing?"
The Camera backs up but then continues following him.
"Where is strider?" Boromir keeps looking, "Strider?" He then appears to be in a scary hallway and he starts to act a little nervous.
"Orcs, and goblins, and evil wizards oh my.... Orcs, and goblins, and evil wizards oh my.... Orcs, and goblins, and evil wizards oh my.... Orcs, and goblins, and evil wizards...
"What are you doing?" Strider has cometh up behind him.
Boromir screamed, "Strider! What are you doing to me!?"
"I was coming up behind you. Now what is this about "Orcs, and goblins, and evil wizards oh my..."?"
Boromir clears throat, "Just acting a part out from "The Wizard of Oz" I like to do that kind of stuff when the mood is right."
"Oh I see. Interesting."
"Yeah, come on they are all eating without you and they are all wondering where you are."
"Ah, I see."
"To the breakfast hall?" Boromir asked.
"Why not."
"Where off to see the hall, the wonderful breakfast hall of all," Boromir sings and skips on ward.
"Uh, right...."
The camera runs past Aragorn to catch up with Boromir.
"Whoa!"
Boromir stops suddenly and unexpectedly. The camera runs into him. And THUD... they both fall over, "Hey!"
Aragorn laughs.
"Don't laugh at me!" Boromir stands up, "It wasn't funny!"
Aragorn, still laughing, asks, "What is the thing anyway?"
"It's a weird looking thing with legs that keep on following me around!" Boromir answers.
"Oh," and Aragorn stops laughing, will kind of at least.
The camera zooms into Boromir again and then zooms out again.
"Let's go eat. If you tell them anything I'll deny it."
"I won't tell them that this weird looking thing knocked the great Boromir over, don't worry," Aragorn said and laughed a little.
Boromir walks past him and goes into the breakfast hall.
Aragorn follows, followed by the camera, which now goes to follow Aragorn.
For some strange reason Boromir stops again suddenly.
Strider runs into Boromir, but doesn't knock him over or anything.
"Hey watch where you're going!"
"Sorry Boromir."
The camera runs into both of them, knocking them over this time, in front of everyone.
"Ow!"
"Ow! Stupid thing!" Aragorn yelled at the camera.
Gimli watches and starts laughing.
Aragorn gets up and grabs the camera, "Gandalf, what's this?"
"That would be a camera," Gandalf answered.
"A camera? Never heard of it," Aragorn said.
"That's because it hasn't been invented yet."
"Oh... weird," Aragorn answered and let the camera go.
"But if it hasn't been invented yet, what is it doing here?" Boromir asked.
"Yeah!"
"Hmmmm.... seems to me that there is some strange magical thing about." Frodo said and looked at Gandalf.
Boromir then looks at Gandalf
And soon everyone is looking at Gandalf.
Even the camera is looking at Gandalf.
"What are we doing?" Merry asked who was apparently not starring at Gandalf because he was eating.
"Looking at Gandalf," Frodo answered him.
"Exactly," Pip said, "Um... Why?"
Gandalf suddenly sees that everyone is looking at him, "Yeah why?"
"You seem to know about this thing." Boromir said.
Gandalf starts to burst out laughing.
Frodo, Merry, and Boromir all stare at Gandalf.
Aragorn looks at the camera and the camera looks at his and then they both look at Gandalf.
"I'm sorry. I got you on tape!!!!" Continues to laugh
"What?!" Boromir said.
Gandalf stands up and mocks him, "To the hall." Laughs some more, "Then you start to skip around. Oh dear! What a hoot!!" Laughs A LOT!!
"That *was pretty funny. And don't forget the "Orcs, and goblins and evil wizards oh my..." part either." Aragorn added in.
Boromir starts to cry, "WHY ME?! What did I ever do to you!?
Frodo has no clue what is going on, "Gandalf, what are they talking about?"
Gandalf raises his hands and a T.V. pops up and you see Boromir skipping and singing.
Sam whispers to Mr. Frodo (aww), "Gandalf went wacko."
Frodo and Merry burst out laughing.
Boromir starts to laugh, "If you can't beat them, join them.
Everyone laughs, with the except of the camera, which can't laugh being that it's a camera.
"Jupiter!" Aragorn shouted.
"Wobble!" Gandalf laughs out
Frodo does a low whistle, "He really lost his top."
"Yeah, he didn't get mad at Mr. Strider for saying 'Jupiter'" Sam said.
Frodo still shocked, "He said 'Wobble'"
"Yeah." Sam agreed.
"Merry. Pip. What are we going to do?"
"Something," Pip said.
Merry looks up and asks, "About what?"
"I know!" Pip said
"What? TELL!" Frodo said.
"Let's go back to sleep!" Pip suggested.
"No we can't," Frodo told him
"Awww, why not?" Pip whined.
"It sounded like a good idea to me," Aragorn said
Gandalf is sill laughing in the background.
"We have to take care of the ring." Frodo says.
Leogolas just sits there and watches.
"Oh yeah." Pauses and then asks, "Where are we going again?"
Frodo sighs, "Mordor"
"Oh yeah!" Pip pauses again, "Where's that?"
Frodo said, "Far far away."
Gandalf is still laughing and rolling around on the ground.
"Someone hose him down!" Merry shouted.
"Good idea little one!" Boromir stated.
"Actually a hit on the head would do nicely," Gimli suggested.
A garden hose appears out of nowhere, "Ah! This will do quite nicely." Boromir starts to hose Gandalf down.
Gandalf started to scream, "Ahhhhh! That's cold!!" He screamed some more, "Stop! Stop!" after a wee little while, "I'm okay! I'm okay. I can't swim!"
Boromir turns to the camera, "Hey camera thing. You getting this?!"
The camera nods.
Aragorn sits down in a chair and leans back...too far and falls over backwards, again, "Ahhh! Ow!"
"Did you get that too?" Boromir asked.
The camera looks at Boromir and zooms in.
"Don't make me hose you too!" Boromir said still getting Gandalf.
Gandalf screams some more, "I can't swim! Help I am drowning!"
The camera recoils back and looks at him.
"Okay okay," Boromir stops the hose.
Aragorn is still lying on the floor, "This might be safer."
The camera goes over to Frodo.
"Hey camera-thing," Sam said to it.
Frodo asked it nicely, "What do you want?"
The camera shrugs, if possible for a camera.
Frodo turns to Sam, "How does a camera shrug??"
The camera shrugs.
Sam shrugs.
"Are we ready to go yet?" Frodo asked.
"Hey Gandalf? You still being wacko over there?" Pip asked.
Gandalf got up, raised his hands, and was dried, "No I am good."
"Let's go then!" Pip said and then asked, "Do we have a map or something?"
"Nope, better," Frodo said, "We got Gandalf."
"Good point," Pip agreed.
"Oh dear. Someone help us," Boromir pleaded.
"Then again maybe we do need a map," Pip said.
Aragorn is still lying on the floor, "Leogolas?"
"I have a map," Leogolas reassured him.
"Good." Frodo let out a sigh of relief.
Gimli started to get mad, "Not in the hands of an elf!" Then he starts swinging his axe around for no apparent reason. The handle flies off. "Heh. Oops!"
Frodo laughs.
Aragorn sits up at just that moment and the handle smacks him in the head.
Frodo ran over to Strider, "You okay?"
"Huh?" Aragorn grunted.
"Are you okay?" Frodo asked again.
"Yeah, I think so."
"Sorry Aragorn, it slipped."
"Whoa...little birds..." Aragorn said in a dazed like manner. "Who's Aragorn?"
"Uh-oh." Was all that Frodo could say.
Merry runs to Aragorn, "Birdies? Where?!"
"Right there," Points in front of his face, "Lot's of 'em."
Frodo pushed Merry out of the way, "HEY!" Merry yelled.
"Aragorn what is the last thing you remembered?" Aragorn grew quiet as though trying to think, "Please Aragorn you have to remember!!"
Aragorn smiled, "I was just kidding little one."
"Oh you are a mean one," and hits him in the shoulder.
Aragorn then passes out.
Leogolas sighs, "Great."
"What did you do to him?" Pip asked, in that thick accent of his. (:))
"Nothing! I swear."
"Gandalf..." Leogolas starts out
"Yes?"
"Gimli's axe handle came off and hit Aragorn in the head," Leogolas explains.
"Wow! Good for him," Gandalf said, "What does he want a medal or something."
"Gandalf!" Frodo yelled at him.
"And Aragorn's unconscious." Leogolas added.
"Um..... oh," Gandalf said.
"Mr. Gandalf sir, what are we going to do?" Sam asked.
"Boromir get the hose."
TO BE CONTINUED...
You just gotta love how Boromir calls Merry and Pip the 'little ones', I do! :) Okay, so I had a "Wizard of Oz" moment, so sue me! :) Anyways, it would be funny to see Sean skip around. :) The camera was all Lindsey's idea. I think that the camera is awesome, even though that it wasn't invented back then. Okay, and just to set the records straight, cameras do not walk by itself, and they do not shrug. Okay, who says, "He's lost his top," these days. I do! I do! :) And true, why does everyone pick on Boromir so much? And Gandalf can't swim? What's with that? He's a wizard ain't he? And what about the hose? Where did Merry come up with the idea of using a hose? So many questions, such weird stories. Happy reading!! Ooo! One more thing! I love Billy Boyd's accent! Don't you!?
