Chapter Five: At the Sign of the Mall

We last left the Fellowship when they had been kicked out of 7-Eleven (but with candy anyway that they didn't even have to pay for) and decided that they should hed for the mall.

"Oooh!" awed Pippin and Merry. "The Mall!"

"Gandalf should meet us here," said Sam, absentmindedly.

Silence, the Fellowship of the Movies honorable member, was once again found lingering above the group.

"Um..." said Gandalf uncertainly, "I'm right here."

"That's what you want us to think!" she said, pointing at Gandalf accusingly. "But you're really being held hostage at Isengard!"

"I think the whole '7-eleven incident went to her head," muttered Legolas.

"Well then," said Frodo, who was getting more then slightly weirded out, "why don't we all just go into the mall now?"

So, as soon as they locked up their bikes, they went inside.

"First," said Eowyn, "we need new clothes to wear to the movie."

"So says Miss fashion expert," Merry grinned slyly.

"Well," Eowyn hesitated, "just look at us!" So they did, covered in chocolate from the pervious incident, they hadn't really dressed to go out anyway.

Pippin shrugged, "What could it hurt?" "Our wallets," Allie muttered in reply. So they went in the elevator to go to the top floor. Unfortunately,  Pippin and Merry were not in a very quiet mood.

"Oooh!" said Merry, pointing outside the elevator (which had glass walls), "What's that?"

"And that!" said Pippin, pointing at another thing.

"And that!"

"And that!"

"That!"

"That!"

"That!"

"You just pointed at that," muttered Galadriel, more then slightly annoyed.

The elevator ride seemed to go on forever; and the sad thing is, there are only two stories in the mall.

When they finally got off the elevator, they went strait to one of the stores. They started taking clothes off the racks and trying them on, and they finally settled with one outfit each that they could wear to the movies. They went over to the front of the store to pay. There was a girl who looked at the large group oddly as she waited in line behind them.

"Hullo!" Pippin said to the girl, who now looked at her even more oddly.

"Guess what?" Pippin said enthusiastically.

The girl took a step back, "What?"

"We're going to see The Two Towers! Cool huh?" Merry joined in.

"Hey!" the girl said, no longer looking frightened of the group, "I love that book!"

"Me too!" screamed Pippin, earning a lot of stares from the people in the store.

"Want to join us?" asked Sam.

"Sure!" the girl said. "My name is Aloria."

"You need a nickname from Lord of the Rings though," said Gandalf. "Everyone else has, it's a kind of pattern we've taken on.

"But you need a nickname from Lord of the Rings," repeated Sam.

"I just said that," Gandalf said annoyingly.

Sam looked around in shock. "Who said that?"

"I did!" screamed Gandalf.

"Frodo! I think Gandalf is watching us!" Sam said, frightened, and then she hid.

"Something is seriously wrong with that girl," muttered Legolas, shaking her head.

"Well, anyway, would you mind being Arwen?" asked Pippin.

"No, Arwen's fine," the recently named Arwen said.

"I mind!" yelled Strider, who, while not having seen the first movie, knew the jist of most of the characters from conversations with her friends.

"I didn't ask you did I?" Pippin asked almost threateningly.

As soon as they all got Sam out from where she was hiding (the dressing rooms), the group was off to get something to eat, it was nearly lunch time! So they stopped by the local In N' Out.

"11 cheeseburgers, 11 sodas, and 11 fries please," said Sam at the register. She didn't see everyone else mouthing '12' behind her back.

Register-person-Shelly was slightly confused by all this, but she decided to let it go and let Sam pay for the first eleven meals and Gandalf pay for the twelfth.

As soon as they were done eating, they got smoothes and walked around the mall for a while.

"Why does Sam keep insisting Gandalf isn't here?" asked Arwen interestingly.

"She keeps saying she's being held hostage at Isengard," muttered Merry.

Arwen just shook her head and kept walking, though the peacefulness didn't last for long. Anyone who has been to the mall has seen the cars put on display that people give out in contests. Unfortunately, today the car was a black SUV. Merry, Pippin, and Sam stared wide eyed at it.

"Uh-oh," said Boromir.

"What's uh-oh?" asked Arwen.

"Whenever they see a black car they scream 'Blackrider,'" said Legolas.

"Uh-oh," said Arwen.

Everyone grabbed Pippin, Merry, and Sam and dragged them into a Warner Bros. Store, in which Pippin was happily staring at a picture of Daniel Radcliffe. Everyone then ran to the movie store, in which Pippin, Legolas, and Eowyn all stared at a picture of Elijah Wood. After which the all ran out of the mall to their next destination. Where will they go next? What kind of trouble will they get into next? How the hell am I supposed to know? I haven't written the chapter yet!
