Author's Note - YAHOO!!! My modem's working again! I'm sorry that this
update took so long, but my modem was broken! Now it's working! I wrote
this chapter WEEKS ago but wasn't able to put it up. Okay, so it's a bit
on the odd side...and it's kind of pointless for everyone to split up when
their just going to meet back at Rivendell...but whatever! Please also
note that school is starting for me soon and that I may not be able to
update this as often as I would like, but I'll try my hardest! Enjoy!

Chapter 4 Stolen Ponies, a New Chant, and Talking to Oneself
Then next morning dawned bright and early. Too early, if you asked the group.
Fourteen little packs and two big packs sat by the round door, put together the night before.
Frodo groaned. His head was now becoming quite sore from its little encounter with the wall. Not to mention Joe had packed his pillow into her pack so he had nothing to sleep on.
The group grumbled as they folded up the blankets they had been sleeping on and pushed them to the side. They stumbled into the kitchen for a quick breakfast (or quick by hobbit standards, long by human standards) and did the last preparations for their departure. Everyone bustled around, getting ready.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves outside brought the group out of their lull and into awake-mode.
"What is that?" asked Dangalf.
Tripping over the packs, Frodo opened the front door and peered outside. What met his eyes looked like a stampede: Auddy and Cass were riding galloping ponies, herding twelve ponies and two horses towards Bag End.
"AHHHH!" cried Frodo as he tripped over the packs and ran to the wall. Helen put out her arm and stopped him. Thankfully Frodo calmed down.
"Huh?" asked Huh. "What do they have all of those horses for?"
"Duh!" said Katherine. "They brought them so that we won't have to walk the whole trip! Yay!"
"Yay!" cried everyone else.
"Wait," said Phoebe, "Where did they get all of them?"
"I'll ask them," said Faila. She leaped over the packs and ran out the door. Cass saw her and rode up to the hobbit.
"Tell everyone to get their stuff!" cried Cass. "We have to leave as soon as possible!"
"Where are the ponies from?" asked Faila.
"That's why we have to leave so quickly!" she replied. "Just tell everyone to HURRY!"
"Don't tell me you stole them!"
"Uh, no...just borrowed."
"Cass!"
"Forget it! Just go!"
"Okay!" Faila dashed back into Bag End. "Hurry up guys! We have to go NOW!" Everyone grabbed their pack and ran out the door. The ponies were finally all standing still.
"Everybody!" cried Auddy. "Grab a horse!"
The group ran off in all directions looking for the perfect pony.
"Hmm..." said Frodo to Sam. "What about this one?"
"Nah," Sam replied. "The mane's too long."
"This is no time to be picky!" cried Auddy. "Just get a pony! Now!"
"Uh-oh," said Cass as she pointed down the road. "Look." Auddy turned and saw a steaming-mad hobbit farmer running towards them. He gave them a rude gesture with his finger.
"I've, uh, never seen him. Have, uh, you?" asked Auddy as she laughed nervously.
"Uh, never in my life," said Cass with a face as red as a beet. "Let's go."
Everybody ran to the nearest pony (or in Gandalf and Dangalf's case, horse) and struggled on. Finally everybody was on a beast and they were ready to go.
"Remember, everyone!" cried Joe. "Meet in Rivendell!"
They split off into their separate groups and went in their separate directions.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Oh god how much can this pony poo?" asked Frodo as he turned around and glanced at the ground that his pony had just trodden on. "This is just plain disgusting!"
"Yeah, well..." said Joe. "Ponies eat a lot so naturally they poo a lot."
"Whatever," said Frodo.
"So, Sam?" asked Faila. "What are you going to name your pony?"
"Hmm..." he replied. "I don't know."
"What about Faila?" she responded as she twirled her hair around her finger.
"No, it's a guy," Sam answered.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I can't wait to meet Aragorn," said Auddy. "Maybe he can give me some fighting lessons."
"Same," said Cass. "I can't wait to use a sword."
"It's a good thing that we got away before that farmer dude could attack us," added Auddy.
"Uh...I don't think he gave up on the chase yet," answered Cass as she glanced around her shoulder. They could see a small black blob in the distance and heard distant cries of "Stop thieves!"
"Just keep riding," assured Auddy.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Legolas fan girls had been kept busy as they plodded along on their ponies. They had started their own club: SBTTSMOHCLC (Secret Better Than The Secret Members-Only Hobbit Club Legolas Club).
Phoebe wasn't happy. Why had she been stuck with all these fan girls? "I should start a new club," she said, "the Haldir Is The Best Club. Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone out here who would join."
Meanwhile, SBTTSMOHCLC had created a new chant and was shouting it at the top of their lungs:
"We all know Leggy is the best! He's got such a manly chest! (Lauren's line)
He's gonna kick those orcses butts! When we see him we all go nuts!
With a bow he's always great! I hope that we can go out on a date! (Lauren's line again)
Haldir stinks compared to him! (followed by a "No, you stink!" from Phoebe) Not to mention he has great skin!
Leggy, Leggy you're our hero! Compared to you, we are a zero!"
The SBTTSMOHCLC members were all quite pleased with themselves. Phoebe was not.
"I'll show them..." she mumbled under her breath. "Haldir is the best, they just don't know it yet."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"We have to go see Saruman," Gandalf told his apprentice.
"Whatever you say, boss," replied Dangalf.
"Geez, this horse sure poos a lot," the wizard commented.
"Tell me about it," answered Dangalf. "Just be glad you're not a hobbit: to them, the poo piles seem three times the size that they seem to us."
"Good point," Gandalf replied.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I can't wait to meet Gollum," Huh said to herself as she plodded along by herself on her pony. "It will be fun to watch him talk to himself. It's just so strange," she continued to herself, "how somebody could talk to them self. It's going to be really amusing. I'm really going to make fun of how he talks to himself," she continued to herself.
Geez, her pony thought. Humans sure are strange!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So, do ya like it? Do ya? I hope! Sorry this it was kind of long, but I wanted to get in a bit of each of the individual groups before I ended the chapter. Please read and review my other stories as well! I absolutely LOVE getting reviews! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! ( I hope you enjoyed it! More to come!
