Author's notes: So after I found out that fanfiction.net screwed everything I went and uploaded and replaced some of the chapters and had a panic attack because I didn't have a hard copy of chapter ten. Today I found out that fanfiction.net went and fixed what it had screwed up. So I'm no longer looking for a copy of chapter ten. I have one now though and I made sure I had a hard copy of everything else as well. Stupid fanfiction.net. I guess I'll have to lift the plague though so here goes. *lifts plague* Ah well, on with the story.
Chapter Eighteen: Civil disobedience
"I'm hungry!"
"I'm tired!"
"My butt is asleep!"
"Why can't I get a different horse? This one is trying to kill me!"
"If you think complaining is going to convince us to allow you to go back to Minas Tirith you are greatly mistaken," Gandalf said calmly.
"We figured that out all ready."
"Yeah."
"Then why do it?"
"To annoy you."
"And make you regret you ever bought us."
"Perhapse I should just turn the two of you into toads."
"Then we could escape easier."
"All we'd have to do is hop away."
Gandalf sighed and urged his horse away from theirs.
"Status of Operation: Annoy Everyone!"Shawn demanded.
"Annoyed one ma'am!" Jo answered with a sharp salute.
"Very good. All is according to plan. MMMWWHHHAAAAA!!!!"
"Your homeland is strange place," Gimli grumbled.
"Its not really," Jo said. "Its mostly us."
"Yeah. People over there think we're weird too."
"It has been said that oddity is the sign of great genius," Haldir remarked as he rode up to them.
"He's so sweeeeet!" Shawn cooed and slapped at Jo's hands as she attempted to keep her from jumping off her horse and groping Haldir.
"You better get used to to not groping him. We're going home soon."
"Speak not these words to me," Shawn declared dramatically. "I must go. I need to get in all the groping I can before I am torn so ruthlessly from my love!"
Jo waved to Shawn as she rode off. "Oi Aragorn!"
"Yes?" the king-to-be answered as she rode up to him.
"Why does Sauron want the ring anyway?"
Aragorn stared at her in surprise.
"I mean I know why he wants it but what is he going to do with it? He's a giant eye. Even if he gets his hands on it how is he going to put it on? I'd think he'd want Visine more than a ring. What with him floating over that tower all the time. I bet he doesn't even have an eyelid."
"You have seen the eye?" Aragorn asked. "Why did you not tell us?"
"I cannot tell you everything I have seen," Jo replied. "Or I would risk changing the course of everything. That and I forget what I tell people and what I don't."
"I expect it was more than your so called fear of changing the future. You've hardly taken any precautions against that."
"Hmmpf," Jo huffed. "I have too. I haven't told you even half of what I know." She shut herself up quickly. "You're trying to trick me. Kings aren't allowed to trick people."
"Says who?" Aragorn chuckled. "When I am king I may do anything I want. Or at least that is what people tell me."
"Yeah but I'm not one of your subjects so I don't have to listen to you. I will anyway thought cause if I don't I'll probably get eaten by something."
"You have many concerns with being eaten I have noticed."
"Do you wanna be eaten by something?"
"Of course not."
"There you have it," Jo said, as if that explained everything.
"Not wanting to be eaten and obsessing over it are two very different things," Aragorn pointed out.
"Yeah but with my luck I'm going to end up being lunch for some hungry monster. And there are lots of them around here."
"You worry needlessly," Aragorn said calmly. "For I will protect your life with my own. Have no doubts of that."
'How can anyone not love this man?' Jo thought. 'I'm kinda starting to wish I could stay here too.'
"There is Mordor," Aragorn said, hatred in his voice. "Do not leave my side."
"Okay," Jo croaked in fear. "I wanna go home now."
**********
So that's that one. Rather short but that's okay. The next chapter is going to be the last. I was going to finish it tonight but I think I might wait until next week. Around Monday night or Tuesday morning.
It was suggested to me by Ainu Laire that I should write another Lord of the Rings fic. For some reason that idea really stuck with me. I'm going to write another one. Its going to be a drama/serious fic. If you like my writing you might want to check it out. While comedy is hard to write in its own way drama will really show a writer's skill. I've all ready got it posted. Please read and tell me what you think.
I've noticed that allot of writers don't leave thank you lists on their fics. Maybe they email everybody but I still think its important to put reviewers names at the ends of the chapters. Without reviewers there would be much point now would there? So here's a big thank you to everyone who's review since the last chapter.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO:
Cassie-bear01 (who would want to fight anyway?)
Alina11
Lizardlegs (I love that name by the way and rock on with the clarinet)
Coolio02 (I'd love to see your ideas)
AND
Ainu Laire (thank you for the suggestion)
