Chapter Seven. I think.
It took a while. Dreadful sorry. Cas, you better stay on my case about updating, or this'll NEVER get done!
Note: I don't know WHY, but things are refusing to upload properly, thus the rather messy paragraphs. Help? Also, if ANYONE knows how to get the italics/bolds to work, I would be SO incredibly grateful to you. I've tried the html things with the "iword/I" but it's not working. I'll write you a cameo! Or something. Please help! I love you, thanks, bye for now!

Meghan and Casey hurried off. Boromir ran behind them. Going as quick as they could, it only took them about an hour.
As they reached the door, Casey put her key in the lock, swearing under her breath at the delay. She threw open the door, and grabbed the car keys off the nearby keyring.
"Stay here. Don't answer the phone or door, don't touch any of the stuff in here. Just, stay here," she ordered Boromir before she ran back outside, slamming the door behind her.
"What's a phone?" Boromir asked the door. The door offered no response because, well, it was a door.
Meghan and Casey ran to the white Camry in the driveway and quickly started it.
"Are you sure you can do this?" Meghan asked nervously.
"Of course," Casey answered with a weak smile. "Just hope the police don't pull me over."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She drove carefully and as quickly as she could to Meghan's empty house.
"I know a way there that's almost completely off the highway," Casey told Meghan as she climbed on her motorcycle. "Just follow my car." They got back to the lake in just under 10 minutes. They raced off to find the group.
"Hello? You guys? Where are you?" Meghan called softly as they reached the spot where they'd left them. She shared a worried look with Casey.
"You don't think they-gah!" She was cut off as Legolas dropped gracefully from a tree above them.
"Took you long enough," he said with a smirk on his face.
"Oh, shut up," Casey glared at him.
"Where is everyone?" Meghan demanded.
"Some people came by so we decided to move further back. I waited," he told them, heading off. "Come on!" he called over his shoulder. Casey shrugged and they followed him.
"'K, here's the deal," Casey announced when they'd all gathered and finally shut up. "You're going to stay at my house with us for awhile. God help us all," she added under her breath. "Legolas, you'll go with Meghan." She laughed and smirked at them.
Meghan blushed. "Maybe Frodo should come with me instead," she suggested.
"Meh, they can both fit," Casey responded, grinning viciously. "The rest of you will come with me in the car." She ignored the confused looks and continued. "For heaven's sake, try to be quiet and not call attention to yourselves. This'll look odd enough as it is. D'you understand?" They didn't, but she set off anyway. "Bring Boromir's stuff!" she added over her shoulder as she caught up to Meghan. "When you get to my house try to be as inconspicuous as you can, even though you have a hobbit and an elf with you. this is so insane. oh, and try to be quiet. bloody prying neighbours."
They stopped by the car and motorcycle which were parked by the entrance to the trail.
"What is that?" Pippin asked.
"It's like a carriage. without the horse."
"What about that?" He pointed to the motorcycle.
"A motorcycle."
Pippin got an excited look on his face. "I want to ride on that!"
Meghan snorted.
"No. You're coming with me. Frodo and Legolas are going on that." Casey noticed the look of excitement on Legolas' face. (A/N Courtesy of Casey: Not like that, you perverts!) "Hey Legolas, make sure you hold on tight to Meghan!" Meghan turned red and went to get them on the motorcycle.
"Um, excuse me, but, well. it doesn't seem like there's enough room for everyone," Elladan said.
"Aren't you the observant one?" asked Casey dryly. "OK, you and you," she pointed to Gimli and Aragorn, "Go in the trunk."
"The trunk?" Aragorn asked. "What is a trunk?"
"Oh, right, sorry," she apologized. She opened the driver's door, popped the trunk, walked back around, and pointed. "The trunk."
"What?" Gimli demanded incredulously. "We will be riding in THAT? You cannot be serious. I wou-"
"Look," she snapped, cutting him off. "If you have a better idea, please, be my guest. But right now, this is the best plan we have. If you'd prefer to stay here until someone finds you, go right ahead." She glared at him unblinking until he finally grumbled an agreement.
"Right. You two," she pointed to the twins, "Have to share the front seat. Gandalf, Haldir, and Glorfindel sit in the back and we'll squish the hobbits in." Everyone, except for Casey was startled by the gunshot of Meghan's motorcycle starting and driving off. Then they opened the door and Haldir, Glorfindel and Gandalf crawled into the backseat.
"Buckle your seatbelts!" Casey told them and, after a couple of minutes of figuring them out, they did. The hobbits crawled in after them. Casey shut the trunk with a whispered 'sorry' and got into the front seat, the twins squished beside her. She put the key in the ignition and turned it. Pippin screamed as a heavy metal song blared to life on the radio.
"Sorry!" Casey exclaimed, snapping it off. Everyone started talking.
"Please be quiet," Casey asked, but they didn't hear her. "SHUT UP!" she screamed and they looked at her. "I'm sorry. It's just that here you can't drive unless your 16 and have a license. And even then you have to drive with an experienced adult for at least three months. I'm not 16, nor do I have a license and I've crammed a five-person car with 11 people. And if the police see me, they'll pull me over because I don't even LOOK 16."
"Why don't you let one of us drive? We look older than 16," Elrohir suggested.
"Because you have even LESS clue what you're doing! I'll be alright if I can focus, I just need you to SHUT UP."
They fell silent, except for Pippin, who whispered quietly to Merry, "What's a police?"
