Disclaimer: I do not own Buffy, Joss does. I do not own Lord of the Rings,
Tolkien does. I do not own this idea fully, the people who wrote the
fanfictions mentioned on the page before do mostly. The idea of putting
Dawn in is definitely MINE!
Pairing: All right, I'm thinking Buffy/Aragorn (cause he broody like Angel), but someone wanted Buffy/Legolas (which has been done and I don't think works) . I was thinking Dawn/Legolas (since I like Willow/Legolas and Dawn is like Willow cause she never likes to stop talking at times) , but the same person hated that idea so much, that she shuddered. Suggestion? I don't know if hobbit will work.cause Dawn is kind of large. Buffy would sooner be with a hobbit that Dawnie, cause Buffy is actually shorter than Dawn, go figure..Please help me decide.No Boromir. Sorry, don't know how to write him well. Legolas is easy, so is Aragorn, but he has Arwen. Ohhh.. I hate this. To many decisions, help? Oh.Gandalf does not pair.that would make everyone shudder. Please help, THANKS!!!

To Bree We Will Go
-----------------------------(
Buffy had told them about their world. She had told them that there were only humans, or big folk as the hobbits put it. There were no elves, or dwarves, or hobbits. She had told them about all her friends being able to fight very well for humans. Buffy had even tried to explain the basics of technology. It was when she described roller coasters and movie theaters, that their mouths started opening and they stopped. Dawn had been listening the whole time, occasionally butting in about things they did. She had told them about her mom having a tumor and dying. This surprised them the most, because they had never heard of a 'tumor' before.
Buffy had finally finished her story. Dawn was trying her best not to dissolve into a fit off giggles and hysteria. Buffy looked at the four flabbergasted hobbits and did the same. Buffy and Dawn stopped holding it in, and they howled with laughter. They started laughing so hard that they both had to stop and sit down on a log. That did not matter, however, because the hobbits were rooted to the spot with their mouths hanging open. They had been this way for the past five minutes. A while later, Buffy stopped laughing and motioned for Dawn to do the same.
"You know," Buffy started, "if you leave your mouths open long enough, you might catch a fly."
"Yeah!" Agreed Dawn. "Judging by how big your mouths are, I bet some spiders could get in too!" She started giggling uncontrollably, and then stopped and scrunched up her face. "Ewww, bad mental image."
The quartet quickly shut their mouths and started walking along the road again. Dawn had started up a conversation with Pippin and Merry about pranks. She had wanted to get some of those popular girls back for not accepting her into their group. Meanwhile, Buffy was talking to Frodo about where they were going.
Two days later, the four hobbits and the two humans were bonded. Frodo had yet to mention the ring, and Buffy had yet to mention that she was the slayer. Buffy had absolutely no intention of telling anyone about Dawn. She did not want them knowing that Dawn was not real. Buffy kept looking around, as if nervous, and then would quickly zone back in and start talking. Dawn kept having stomach cramps, though none new why.
The group finally arrived at the village of Bree. All of them were soaked due to the humongous downpour. They went up to the wooden gate and knocked. Buffy and Dawn stood off to the side so that the man did not see them. Sure enough, when he opened a little slide in the door, he did not see them. Of course, he didn't see the hobbits either.
The strange man then closed that one, and slid a lower open. When he saw the hobbits, he opened up the door.
"What do you want?" The very, very ugly man asked.
"We're heading to the prancing pony," replied Frodo warily.
The man let them through with a grunt and exclaimed, "Hobbits! Four hobbits! And what's more, two female humans. What businesses have you six in Bree?"
Frodo once again answered him, albeit not nicely. "We wish to stay at the Prancing
Pony, our business is our own."
The gatekeeper looked flustered and replied, "Alright young sir, I meant no offence. 'Tis my job to ask question after nightfall. There's talk of strange folk abroad. Can't be too careful."
"Actually," Dawn began, but never got to finish as she saw her friends walking off. "Hey, wait up!"
The five stopped and turned. Buffy ran over to them and told them, "All right, I'm ready."
Buffy just rolled her eyes and walked on. An hour later, they still had not found the Prancing Pony. By now, Dawn had received several long stares from several different men. She had wished that Buffy's jacket was a lot larger, seeing how it did not button up. Dawn had been pulling the jacket tight across her chest, trying to cover up her stomach. It hadn't been working, because the tight pants were showing enough for the men to look at her for long periods of time. It gave her the wiggins. She had told Buffy who had whole heartedly agree that she did not like the long stares that men were giving to both of them.
Pippin and Merry started smelling food and hurriedly ran to a sign that said "The Prancing Pony." When everyone had caught up, they went inside. Frodo walked to the bar and asked, "Excuse me?"
The bartender looked over and saw Buffy with Dawn. "Hello dear ladies. If you would like accommodations, then I am very sorry. I just sold my last set of rooms."
"No," replied Buffy nonchalantly, "my friends were looking for some rooms though. They're four hobbits. Do you have any rooms for them?"
"Hmmm.. Oh yes! I certainly do. Last room I have, actually. It'll sleep four hobbits!" The bartender exclaimed. "Now, what did you say your names were?"
"They didn't, actually," Dawn exclaimed, "but if you meant that as a question, then I'm Dawn, that is Buffy, Merry, Pippin, Sam, and.uh."
"Underhill, Frodo Underhill," Frodo said the name as if he never had before, which is true. He had just made that name up. "We are friends of Gandalf the Grey, can you tell him we've arrived?"
"Hmmm.Gandalf? Oh yes.. Elderly chap, big gray beard, pointy hat."
"T'at would be him." Exclaimed Pippin.
"Yes, well I've not seen him in six months!"
At this, the hobbits looked wide-eyed at the bartender. They quickly paid for their rooms and got some drinks. Frodo was trying to convince himself that Gandalf would, in fact, come.
"Don't worry," soothed Dawn, "wizard-man will be here. Cause, ya know, he's... a..wizard, yeah!"
At this Frodo smiled, Dawn always was calling Gandalf 'wizard-man', no matter how many times they corrected her. At this point, Merry came over with a glass the size of his face. Pippin stared dumbly at it a minute before asking.
"What's that?"
"This, my friend, is a pint!"
"It comes in pints? I'm gettin' one!"
Pippin sprang up to go get a pint while Sam started exclaiming, "You've already had a whole half all ready!"
Pippin paid no heed and bought a pint. Buffy rolled her eyes from the table next to the hobbits. She then looked up and saw a man in the corner. She narrowed her eyes when she noticed where he was looking. The cloaked man was staring straight at Frodo. She nudged Dawn, and Dawn too saw who he was looking at. She, however, did not narrow her eyes. She just looked amused and started laughing. When she didn't stop laughing, Frodo inquired to why she was laughing in the first place.
"I'm staring at the man in the corner, who is staring at you, who are now staring at me!" Exclaimed Dawn. For some odd reason, she considered this funny. This time it was Buffy's turn to butt in.
"So?"
"What? Do I suddenly need a good reason to laugh my head off?" Dawn asked sarcastically. "Gosh, Buff, just trying to lighten up the sad mood we got going on."
Sam seemed confused at this. "What do you mean by 'laugh my head off', is your head really going to fall off?"
This only made Dawn laugh harder, with Buffy joining in. This received many stares from around the room. Finally, they stopped laughing. At this point, Frodo remembered what Dawn had said, and he looked to the corner. Sure enough, there a man was, staring straight back at him. As Barliman walked by, Frodo stopped him to ask about the man in the corner. Barliman looked over and saw the man. He looked scared for a second and turned back to Frodo.
"That's one of them ranger folk." He whispered. "What his right name is, I've never heard, but round here, he's known as Strider." Barliman quickly walked away, as if to distance himself from the ranger.
It was at this point that the hobbits heard Pippin exclaim, "Baggins? Sure I know a Baggins! He's right over there. Frodo Baggins. He's my second cousin once removed on his mother's side and my third cousin twice removed on his father's side, if you follow me."
Dawn looked at Frodo wide-eyed and gestured to go silence him. Frodo got up and ran over to Pippin, right before he got there, someone tripped him.
"Steady on!" He heard Pippin exclaim, but he had already fallen. The ring slipped out of his hand and flew into the air. It then followed gravity downwards, and onto Frodo's finger. Frodo disappeared into thin air. This made Sam, Merry, and Buffy gasp. This also made Dawn clutch her stomach and bring her knees up to her chest. Buffy noticed this, and decided to ask about it later. At that moment, she saw someone shoving Frodo up the stairs. She knew she would go after him.
