Gandalf lead the way and everyone else started to follow him.
Sam walked up to the wizard and walked with him.
"Hello, Samwise," the tall wizard said to the hobbit beside him.
"Hullo, Mr. Gandalf, sir," Samwise replied.
After walking for a while they came up to a River.
"Look a river," Boromir pointed and said.
"Where?" Strider said and fell in.
Gandalf smack himself in the head and saw a sign, "Welcome to The Great River."
Strider got out of the water and pretended that nothing just happened, "So, Gandalf you going to get us some boats?" The others quietly snickered behind him, but Strider paid no never mind to them.
"Actually, no. There's a boat rental right there." Gandalf pointed and went to it. "Look three boats left, that should be good. Let's go!"
After a while they all got into the boats and started to row down the river.
Legolas, who's in the boat with Gandalf and Gimli, started to sing, "Row-row-row your boat! Gently down the stream! Merrily-merrily-merrily-merrily, life is but a dream," he stops singing for a moment and says, "We hope."
Frodo, who is in a boat with Sam and Strider, was sleeping and snoring quiet loudly. While Merry, who was in a boat with Pip, Boromir, and Alec, was sleeping and apparently drooling.
"I think he snores louder than you, Strider," Boromir said from his boat.
"I do not snore!"
"Yeah, you do! And you sleep walk!"
"Well, you snore too! And I don't do either!"
"Yeah, you do!" Gandalf added into the conversation.
"Do not!"
Alec starts laughing at the three grown men, fighting over something so stupid.
Sam has apparently fallen asleep next to Frodo.
While Merry continued to drool.
"Eeewww! Merry's drooling!!"
"Shush, little one." Boromir said.
"Sorry."
"How much further do we have to row?" Boromir asked like a little kid would do in a long road trip.
Legolas started to sing again, "Row-row-row your boat!"
"No! I hate show tunes!" Gandalf said loudly.
"It's not a show tune, wizard!" Alec said.
"Whatever!"
Gandalf got bored and stuck his hand into the water. Very soon afterwards Gandalf started screaming, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Get it off! GET IT OFFFF!!!"
Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Alec turned their heads to see what was happening. "WHAT?!"
Gandalf showed them his hand and apparently he had some type of large fish on it. He said in an upset voice, "Get... IT... OFFFFFFF!!!
Gimli pulls the fish off and tosses it back, "Hmpf."
"What kind of a fish was that?" Legolas asked.
"It looked like a gold fish to me!" Boromir said from the other boat.
"A BIG gold fish!" Gandalf said.
"Oooooooo," that was Legolas.
Sam was sleeping loudly, "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."
And Frodo was whimpering in his sleep and kicking his leg.
Aragorn said in a comforting voice, "Shhh, Frodo."
Frodo suddenly stops.
"Where are we going anyway?" Pip asked.
Apparently everyone was ignoring him because they all changed the subject.
"Hey Boromir, stand up in the boat and see what happens!" Legolas said from his boat.
Boromir was really about to do it when he came to his senses and stopped his action, "Hey, that's not funny!!"
"I thought it was!" Legolas said while laughing.
"Just you wait till we get out of these boats!"
"Oooo, I'm really scared now!"
"You should be!"
Merry suddenly wakes up and says, "Shhhh!"
"What does happen when you stand up in the boat?" Pip asked.
"Don't do it, little one." Alec warned him.
"Why not?
"You'll fall!" Merry told him.
"Oh, that's all?" Pip still wanted to know, so he stands up.
"No, don't!!" Merry shouted at him.
Nothing happened, "It doesn't do anything," and Pip sat back down.
"See Boromir," Legolas said to him.
"He was just lucky!"
"Really, nothing will happen!" Legolas said again.
Sam, still sleeping, "zzzzzzzzzz," leans the other way. He leans a little too far and rolls into the river. *SPLASH*
"Sam!" Aragorn screamed when he saw the little one go in.
The screaming and the splashing woke Frodo up and he didn't see Sam. Getting worried he looked into the water, "SAM!!!"
Aragorn dove in the water to get the little one. Very soon both heads pop up from the water and everyone is relieved.
"Sam, are you okay?" Frodo asked
"I-I think so."
Frodo helps his friend into the boat as Aragorn gets in from the other side.
"That was close," Gimli said.
"Don't you ever do that to me again," Frodo said sternly.
"I'm sorry Mr. Frodo. I didn't mean to." He said a little sadly and hung his head.
"It's all right, as long as you are okay!" Frodo said and hugged his friend.
Sam hugs him back and said, "I'm okay Mr. Frodo. I'm okay!"
"Awww! Touching reunion guys, but um... we're here." Gandalf told them all.
"Where's here?" Pip asked.
"That was fast." Legolas observed.
"Yeah, I was getting a little bored so I made the boats move faster." Gandalf pointed out.
"Uh, Gandalf, why don't you just poof us to Mordor?" Frodo asked. "I mean all we would have to do is poof there, throw the ring in the fire, and poof out again.
"Too dangerous."
"Ooooooohhhhh!"
"Yeah."
"Boromir, stand up!" Legolas said.
Considering that they were rowing they're way over to the river shore and the water was not as deep he decided to do so, "Fine!" And he stood up and nothing happens. Merry starts to shake the boat and Boromir starts to lose his balance, "Little one, what are you doing?" and the boat tips over. *SPLASH*
"Ahhhhh! Cold water!!"
Pippin and Merry who also fell into the water started to scream too.
Pippin flips the boat over and climbs back in. Boromir just treads water along with Merry.
"Good job, Boromir, just listen to Legolas."
"Hey, Pip, look fishies!" Merry said holding one up.
"Oo! Fish! I'm hungry!"
"Merry! Get back into the boat!" Boromir said after he got in, "We don't have time to go fishing. Get back over here!"
"Merry, get back into your boat!" Alec said to him.
"Fine," and he started to
Legolas start laughing really hard.
"What's so funny, Legolas?" Gandalf asks as he whacks him upside his head.
"Ow!" but he continues to laugh, "He did it! He stood up!!" he laughs even harder now and Gandalf whacks him upside the head, again. "Ow!"
"Mr. Frodo, why do we have to have such strange people come with us on this adventure?"
"No clue, Sam. I guess we're just that lucky."
As Merry was swimming back to the boat there was a strange current that suddenly cut him away from the rest of the boats.
"MERRY!!" Pip called out.
"Help!" He screamed as the current took him away.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Hey there guys! Me again! Thought I just disappeared off the face of the earth, huh? Well, too bad! I'm back and here's some more of the story!! Uh... WARNING in the next couple of chapters we will be meeting up with some unusual types of people so I must once again state that if you are not up for insane stories, turn back now while you still can!! :o)
Anyways...
Why does it take Legolas so long to realize things? It took him like what five minutes to realize that Gandalf was back and it took until Boromir got back into the boat to realize that he fell into the water.
No offense little one, but seriously, how long does it take Merry to swim back? It's weird, it's like everything is planned so that certain events to happen. Just like how Bilbo was to get the ring so Frodo can get it.
And, I like the *Splash* I don't know why, but those where my favorite thing to write!
