Chapter two: Many Meetings

The six girls, in a very short time indeed, had managed to quickly get their shoes, slap on their helmets, and jump on their bikes. The next person they decided to, er, 'recruit' was their shy and quiet friend, Kristen.

"To Kristen's house we go!" yelled Gandalf.

"Kristen should be Frodo because she has the ring," Legolas said with that odd logic of hers (which has rubbed off on everyone else).

"Good idea!" said Boromir.

Besides Pippin, Merry, and Sam screaming 'Blackrider' at every black car they saw, the ride to Kristen, now Frodo's, house was pretty quiet. When they got there, Frodo answered the door.

"Brave Frodo," said Merry, "we must quest to Mt. Movie Theater to destroy the One Ring to Rule them All! Will you not join us? Or just hand over the Ring so we may destroy it for you?"

Frodo stared at her, and then yelled back to her mom, "I'm going to see a movie with my friends, and then we're spending the night at Chelsea's house! I'm taking my bike! Bye!" And she shut the door behind her.

"Wow," said Gandalf, "you're good."

"Thank you," said Frodo as she shut the door and put on her helmet. Sam walked up the driveway with Frodo's bike with a goofy grin on her face. "Erm…hi, Sarah…"

"Hello Ms. Frodo!" Sam said cheerfully.

"Oh…you'd be Sam then?" Sam nodded cheerfully as Frodo took her bike and got on.

"To Allie's house!" yelled Pippin as they started biking away.

"Who should Allie be?" asked Legolas. "Strider?"

"Yeah!" said Boromir.

And, again, the ride to Allie's house was uneventful, except for Merry, Pippin, and Sam screaming 'Blackrider' at every black car.

"Here's Allie's!" said Frodo when they got there. Unfortunately, just as Allie, or Strider, opened the door, a black car came by and Sam, Merry, and Pippin screamed.

"Strider!" said Pippin. "Save us from the Blackriders! They are trying to take the ring from Frodo who is going to destroy it at Mt. Movie Theater."

Silence, once again, became present and might as well become part of the Fellowship since it's there so often.

"I'll get my bike," said Strider.

"It's scary how well we know those three," sighed Frodo.

Within seconds she was back out with the ever growing group of people as they continued to quest for the other Fellowship members.
