Oh my goodness, it's been so long since I worked on this fanfic!!! I'm sorry to any of you who have been waiting for an update.

Anyways, while I'm thinking of it, I would like to say that I do not own any of the fellowship characters. Although once in a while I may unintentionally change a few personalities, (whether Heather likes it or not!).

Some of the girls have had their personalities changed in order to make the fanfic a bit funnier. Sorry Jess, Faye, and Becky, but it just works better this way.

As a few of you may have noticed, I haven't given Holly's boyfriend a name. This was done intentionally. I just don't want his name out in the open like that, (even though he'll probably never know about it anyways), and I don't have the heart to rename him.

~*Chapter Nine (Heather)*~

'Heather, telephone!' yelled my older sister, Brooke.

'Just a minute!,' I was on level nine in the videogame I was playing. I paused the game and went to the phone. 'Hello?'

'Hey Heather, it's Holly, I was wondering if you could do me a favor.'

'Depends on what it is,' you never know with her.

'I was wondering if you could give me some advice.'

'Sure, what about?'

'I don't want the fellowship at my house anymore, but I don't know how to get rid of them without offending any of them.' I think that was about the most minor of crisis's that she could have, but whatever.

'I'm sure that Jess would love to take them off your hands. But how to tell them that, I don't know.'

'I don't want them at Jess's! She'll ignore all of them except for Legolas. And then Faye will complain that she didn't get to keep Legolas. And so will Becky! Besides, I don't know how to get them out of my place. Mum will be upset that I took her dear Aragorn away from her.'

'Hmm. maybe I should take them. And you can tell your mom that I'll take good care of Aragorn. Becky, Faye and Jess won't be able to argue that one of them gets more time with Legolas.'

'That could work, now I just have to worry about how to break it to the fellowship. Hey, maybe they might want a say in where they're staying.'

'Yeah, we should ask them. I'll came over so that I can be there for the talk too,' I said with a grin.

'Sure, Mom and Dad aren't home so they shouldn't mind overmuch.'

'Yeah, I'll be there in a few minutes then.'

'Okay, talk to you in a few. Bye.'

'Bye.'

I quickly explained to my Mom where I was going and took off on my bike. It was only a ten minute ride to Holly's. By the time I got there, she already had the fellowship sitting together in her living room.

Once I had put my bike in that backyard and gotten settled inside, Holly started to talk to the fellowship about our little plan.

'I know that some of you may be quite content with your current living arrangements,' with that, Gimli gave a loud snort, but Holly kept talking, 'but I think that it's time that you guys moved to another house. I know that Heather's place is a lot bigger than mine, so my suggestion is that you should go there for a while. But I'm sure that some of you may want to go somewhere else, so that's what I wanted to talk about. Anything to add, Heather?'

'Nope, I think you got it covered,' I said. Man, that girl could sure talk when she wanted to. But at least she wasn't as hard to shut up as Jess was. Although sometimes she could be louder than Jess.

'Okay then, anybody have any suggestions?' she asked.

Frodo automatically piped up with, 'I don't want to leave.'

'Personally, I think that it's a good idea to keep moving. You don't know if that ring is going to lead Sauron to us or not.' Said Boromir.

'Is that all you ever think about?' asked Frodo.

'He's right, Frodo,' said Gimli, Aragorn, and Gandalf all at the same time.

'Okay. Then where do we go?' Frodo wanted to know.

'I say that we should go to Rebecca's. It was nice there,' said Legolas.

'And Rebecca didn't have any cats. I don't think that I want to go to Jess's any more,' said Gandalf.

'Definitely not!' agreed Sam, Pippin, and Merry.

'Legolas, you just want to go to Rebecca's because you fancy her,' said Frodo.

'Not true!' replied an angry Legolas. 'And don't snap at me just because you aren't going to get your own way.'

'Yes your highness.' I couldn't tell if he had been referring to the fact that Legolas happened to be the prince of Mirkwood, or if he had been balking at being told what not to do.

'What about if you all came to my place? I have more than enough room,' I said, surprising even myself. I hadn't meant to say anything.

'That sounds like a good plan. There are no romantic ties where Heather is involved, and the girl has good common-sense,' said Gandalf.

'I think that that would definitely work,' said Holly. I couldn't believe that she wasn't trying to keep everything in order. She wasn't the type of person to have fights or arguments break out while she was part of the discussion.

'Alright then, it's settled,' said Pippin. 'We're going to stay at Heather's home. By the way, I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat, Holly?'

There, I got most of them talking in this one, so Heather can't have much to complain about.
