A/N THAT'S IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! THE ON-GOING PATTERN IS THE CHAPTER TITALS! THEY'RE ALL BASED ON TITALS FROM THE BOOK!!! *pants* Now, how hard was that? Look at the titles! Short-Cut to Candy is from Short-Cut to Mushrooms. The Long Expected Movie: The Long Expected Party. Geese! I thought that was easy! The only person who knew during this whole time besides me was Merry/Hermione, and that was because I told her. Okay, Anywho! On with the fic!

Disclaimer: The part we authors hate the most because it's so annoying.

Frodo: But important.

Me: Still annoying. Anyway!

Harry: She owns nothing don't sue her.

Me: I own myself! .I think.

Alanna: Don't make her think!

Alex: Yeah, apparently it hurts her head.

Me: *runs around screaming* Brain fried! Brain fried!

Pippin: Quick! Where's the caffeine?

Ashly: How will that help?

Pippin: I don't think you understand; I want the caffeine, I'm hungry.

Hermione: She owns nothing but herself, don't sue her. On with the story!

Chapter 8: A Journey Through the Light

It had become hot. Very hot. Mother Nature was angry, and perhaps it was because of Pippin's singing, but no one really knows, it was just unbearably hot.

"Okay, that is the fourth ice cream place we've passed, can we please get an ice cream?" asked Eowyn.

"We have to save money for the movie theater," said Arwen.

"Must.find.SHADE!" yelled Strider.

"Can we please just rest?" asked Frodo.

"Keep walking." said Gandalf.

The other bad thing was that they had left their bikes somewhere back in the last chapter, so they had to walk the rest of the way, and they still did not know where the movie theater was.

"Can't.go.on." gasped Boromir.

"No!" screamed Sam as she stopped and sat down, taking a dramatic pose and attracting stares from everyone. "Boromir has left us."

"Doesn't Gandalf leave before Boromir?" asked Gimli, as Gandalf tried to pantomime 'No! Please! No!' behind Sam.

Sam stopped, "Oh yeah." She went into her dramatic pose again, "Gandalf has left us! The Balrog has taken her into its fiery darkness!"

Gandalf Groaned.

"Hey guys! What're you doing Sarah?" The group's friend, Katie, had seen them and came over to say hi.

"Mourning the loss of our dearly departed Gandalf," she replied.

"Um.I think you need to stop reading those books and watching those movies for a while," Katie said. "He's a character, he isn't real."

"Katie, it would be best if you just don't comment, it's a really long story," said Legolas.

"7 chapters so far," said Pippin, but everyone ignored her.

"We're going to see the next movie, The Two Towers, so we all named ourselves after characters in the books, which is why Sarah is mourning the 'loss' of Gandalf, who is Prachi," explained Galadriel.

Katie nodded. "That might explain why your pictures were on the windows of 7-Eleven."

"Well.yeah," said Merry.

"Who are you?" Katie asked Arwen, "Do you go to our school?"

"Nope," replied Arwen, "just going to see the movie with them."

Katie nodded. "Well, nice to see you guys bye." She then helped Prachi up who had tripped over something.

"No!" screamed Sam. Now everyone was confused. "It's the Balrog!" She pointed at Katie, and then bolted.

"Sorry Katie, bye!" And the rest of the Fellowship ran after her.

"But your going the wrong way!" yelled Katie. "The movie theater is.!" But they didn't get to hear where the movie theater was, because they had to chase after Sam. At least once they caught her; they knew that one way they could go was eliminated.

A/N Sorry for the shortness of the chapter, I promise for a longer one next time, I may even make the story longer if I get enough reviews, like they missed the showing they were supposed to go to, so now they have about 3 more hours to kill. Anyway! Remember to vote for your favorite character, and to say if you want to be in the story. Oh! And here is something to ponder whilst you wait for the next chapter: If the Subtle Knife can cut through anything, but the One Ring can only be destroyed in the cracks of doom, could the Subtle Knife cut the One Ring?
