Little bit of pervertedness in this chapter but its all in good fun. Enjoy!!
Shawn tried to scramble to her feet but something grabbed her and lifted her off the ground. Beside her someone was holding Jo to the ground while she tried to bit her captor's leg vainly.
"Put me down!" Shawn shouted.
"Stop struggling and I will," her captor answered.
"Fine. I'm calm. Let me go."
"Tell your friend to stop struggling."
"Hey Jo. Cut it out."
"If you had a boot between your shoulder blades you'd be struggling too," Jo spat. "Tell 'em to let me go or I'll bite his leg off."
"You've got spirit," Jo's captor laughed and hauled her to her feet. "So what were you and your friend doing in a tree surrounded by Orcs?"
Jo brightened. "Did you say Orcs?"
"Yes. Were you being pursued?"
"They were chasing us yeah," Shawn answered.
"Shawn he said Orcs!"
Shawn started to smile. "He did, didn't he?"
"That means we're in Middle Earth," Jo stated. "And this must be Fangorn Forest. Hey! Lemme go! We're not enemies." Jo struggled to get away and fell over. "Yer Aragorn," she said, pointing. "And that must be Legolas," she added, pointing over at Shawn.
"Elf?" Shawn peeped.
Aragorn drew his sword and held it against Jo's neck.
"Crap!" she squeaked and ran away.
"Don't leave me!" Shawn shouted. She glanced back at the Elf holding on to her. "Never mind! Run like the wind!"
Aragorn stared at Jo's retreating form with a surprised look before running after her. The Ranger caught her quickly and carried her back. Jo was smiling and chuckling when Aragorn brought her back. He set her on the ground and planted a foot firmly on the duffel bag to keep her from running.
"Now stay here or I'll have to tie you up."
"Me too?" Shawn asked hopefully.
"We're miles from home and you still manage to be a pervert?" Jo asked.
"Yer blushing too."
"Shuddup dude."
Aragorn cleared his throat loudly. "How do you?" he began but was interrupted by Shawn.
"Where's Gimli? Is he really that slow?"
Aragorn drew his sword again, holding it this time at Jo's chest. She squeaked again and tried to run away but was dragged down to the ground because of the duffel. She was reduced to kicking frantically at the dirt with her feet. She froze when Aragorn rested the sword on her chest.
"Are you spies of Sauron?" Legolas asked. "Speak true or your friend dies."
"Us? Spies?" Shawn started laughing.
"Stop laughing dude," Jo whimpered. "Yer gonna get me killed."
"If you are not spies why did you run?" Aragorn asked.
"Someone draws a sword on me and you think I'm gonna stay put? She who screams and runs away will live to run another day."
"Where are you from? Your dialect and clothes are strange."
"We're from Texas," Shawn answered.
"Texas?" Legolas asked curiously. "I have never heard of such a place. Where is it?"
"Far away," Jo answered. "Far, far away. Father than you've ever traveled."
"What are you doing here? And how do you know us?"
"We read about you in a...."
"Letter!" Jo interrupted quickly. "From....from Gandalf."
"Gandalf?"
"Yes! He's an old friend of our," Jo lied smoothly.
"Why do I get the feeling you are lying to me?" Aragorn asked.
"Oh I don't know," Jo stammered, her voice cracking. "Maybe because I'm a little nervous."
"If what you say is true you have no reason to fear."
"I have a sword pointed in the general direction of my heart. If you weren't standing on the bag I'd be half way home by now."
"I will put my sword away if you promise not to run."
"Won't run if you aren't scaring the pants off of me."
Aragorn put his sword away and helped Jo to her feet. Legolas let go of Shawn and she pouted.
"Great going," she mumbled to Jo. "Don't come between me and my elf," she hissed. "Or I'll take you out. And not on a date."
"Can we have a moment to discuss our situation?" Jo asked and pulled Shawn away before anyone had answered. "We're in allot of trouble."
"Whadda mean? We've been saved by sexy men."
"Okay, look, we need to set some ground rules. First of all, we can't tell them that we've read about them in a book."
"This is like Fushigi Yuugi," Shawn gasped.
"Listen to me. If we change things around here too much things are going to get screwed up. We have to do everything we can to make sure nothing changes around here. The fate of Middle-Earth depends on them. If we screw stuff up too much Middle-Earth might fall."
"Don't be so dramatic. Is this following the book or the movie?"
"Dunno. Well this is Fangorn Forest so we're in the Two Towers. They probably all ready ran into Eomer, that's why they end up here. We screwed stuff up because some of the Orcs from the company with Merry and Pip started chasing us."
"Good thing we ended up here or we would have been killed by those Rohan guys."
"Probably. Hopefully Merry and Pip found Treebeard and he took them to Gandalf. All of that happens in the book and the movie. All we need to do is make sure they meet up with Gandalf and things should go smoothly."
"We can't interfere with what happens here?"
"Nope."
"We have to let Haldir die?" Shawn sniffled. "Can't we save him please?" She gave Jo puppy-dog eyes.
"We don't even know if the elves are going to show up at Helm's Deep."
Shawn whimpered. "Please?"
"Ah! We'll decide that when we get there. I hope this follows the book. It'll be easier that way."
"And Haldir won't die that way. But what are we gonna tell them?"
"Dunno. One of us has to think of something."
"I elect you!" Shawn cheered.
"What!? Why me?"
"Because you're the writer. Your good at making crap up."
"But if he knows I'm lying he'll kill me."
"Yes. Kill you with love!"
"Stop being a pervert. It interferes with my thought process."
"Kill you with his long, broad sword," Shawn leered.
"I'm not listening to you anymore. Shut up and let me think."
"His long hard sword."
Jo blushed and giggled before recovering. "That's not funny." She giggled again and coughed loudly. "Let's see. I told him we got a letter from Gandalf. They meet back up with him again in this forest. So we just stick around until Gandalf shows, tell him our story, and see if he can get us home."
"Home? Before we see the elves? I wanna see Haldir."
"Maybe we can see a few elves. Then we go straight home!"
"Right. Straight home. With an elf in that duffel bag."
"What? I didn't catch that last part."
"Nothing," Shawn sang happily and pranced back to Aragorn and Legolas.
"I am gonna get killed," Jo mumbled and followed her.
"How will you explain what you're doing here and how you know us?"
"Yes. Gandalf sent us a letter and told us of the Fellowship and its quest. He requested our presence so we packed up our stuff and headed for Rivendale in secret. Unfortunately it takes a long time to get all the way there from home and we kept getting side tracked by Orcs and other monsters."
"You carry no weapons," Legolas observed. "So you are not warriors. Why would Gandalf send for you?"
"We have the gift of foresight," Jo answered without missing a beat. "Gandalf thought we might be of some assistance."
Jo was interrupted by a crashing sound somewhere behind them. Fearing more Orcs, both girls scrambled into the nearest tree. Gimli, who had been conveniently missing, popped out of the dense trees.
"You have no need to fear," Legolas said, addressing the treed girls. "It is only Gimli whose short legs do not allow him to run quickly."
The dwarf snorted.
"Come down. Nothing will harm you." Legolas smiled charmingly. "I will protect you."
Shawn jumped down from the tree and glomped the elf's arm.
"What is this?" Gimli snorted. "More children? And girls at that."
"They are friends of Gandalf," Aragorn said. "But they haven't told us their names."
"I'm Shawn. And she's Jo."
"Would you have a title?" Aragorn asked.
"A title?"
"Yes," Legolas answered. "Beautiful women always have a title."
While Shawn dissolved into a mushy puddle Jo thought quickly. "Of Calallen. That's where we're from."
"Calallen?" Gimli grunted. "Never heard of it."
"It's far away," Jo sighed. "Far, far away."
