Oh dear. Since this was deleted for certain death related reasons, I must rewrite it! And I know you're all thinking, why can't I just repost all of it and change the last chapter? Well, this is because I need a new bad guy, so I need to rewrite A LOT of this (some of it is the same, I'm lazy)…and now I know what I'm doing, so it should come out better anyway! ^_^ Thanks for all the support on the original version! I hope I get the same kind of response this time! THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Disclaimer: I'll say this once…I do not own Lord of the Rings… But I do own Shawn, Jared, Chloe, Nina, Megan, Mr. Star, the Wench, Elidh-Feredir…ya, that's all I can think of right now! ::go me::

Welcome to My World

Chapter I: Unusual Arrivals

Faster, stupid printer… Why did she need him to print this out?? If he were caught wasting all the school's ink and paper, oh the trouble he would be in. The pleading voice of his girlfriend came to mind: "Please, Shawn! Can't you just print out my story for me? I have to be home for my little sister, and you're staying after anyway! It'll only take a minute!" Ya, a minute. And if I'm caught, I'm screwed!  Shawn glanced at the librarians little office in the corner of the library. She was intently working on something; Shawn only hoped she was really concentrating on it so she wouldn't notice him.

Turning back at the laser printer, he took a hold of the stack of papers being thrown out. The little numbers on the bottom of the page were already up to fifty! How many frickin pages is this?!? Trying to avoid the librarian's attention, he casually walked back to his computer and scrolled down to the bottom of the document. What he read almost made him have a heart attack. Four hundred pages?!? FOUR HUNDRED PAGES?!? No, he wouldn't do it. There was no way he was going to print out that much.

After hitting cancel, he went back to the printer and grabbed the last couple pages. Fifty-five. Good enough. She would have to be pleased with that. He threw them all in his bag and headed for the door. The sudden voice of an old malevolent woman boomed through the room. "Shawn Star! What did you just print out?" Shawn stopped dead in his tracks. When did she notice?? He slowly turned back towards the hag. The flower press of her dress and dark grey hair made her look like an evil witch incognito as a school librarian.

"Nothing, Ms. Mac Fillin! Just something for my girlfriend…I'm not quite sure what it is!" Partially the truth. Ms. Mac Fillin hated Shawn. Maybe it was because he had hacked into the school system and destroyed the progress reports for the semester last year, or maybe for the time he had a water gun fight with Jared in the library…there were too many instances where she could have the justification to hate him. He gave her the saddest puppy dog eyes he could muster. No effect. She glared back at him with her arms folded, then suddenly, she had a change of heart.

"Oh, for Nina? She's a good student. I'm sure it was for a good cause." What the hell? Since when did Nina get on her good side? Nina had a place in all of the teacher's hearts. Sort of the teacher's pet, all around excellent student. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that she would be valedictorian. How she ever decided to date Shawn, no one would ever know. Coming back into reality, Shawn shook his head and shifted his bag on his shoulder.

"Ya, I think it was for the science fair!" He lied. She had completed it a couple days ago. Not like anyone knew, or really cared. But it was a reason he could use in his current position, and he would use it to his advantage. "I should really get going now…She really needs this info!" He turned and ran out the door. Close. What exactly was so important about this story that I just *had* to print out four hundred pages for? Shawn rummaged through his bag and took out the first couple of pages. He read the title. "Crouching Aragorn, Hidden Legolas." Another Lord of the Rings fanfic? This girl needs some new hobbies!

Of course he knew of Nina's passion for the 'hot elf' as she called him. Oh look, long blond hair that was braided. Holy cow, he can shoot an arrow! Oh, and look now, he killed a fantasy creature! Wait, yes, oh yes, he's hugging Aragorn. Orlando Bloom, in Shawn's opinion, was really quite ugly. First of all, that long blond hair was a wig, and he had a Mohawk during the time they were filming, what did that say about him? And the whole, 'I'm an elf and can do anything!' was a bunch of crap. Frickin acting! And don't forget the ears! Girls fell for the ears. Plastic. Pure plastic. Shawn had bought a pair of elf ears and wore them for Nina for her birthday, just to make her happy.

He didn't know if Nina had a thing for Orlando or for Legolas, and he really didn't care. He didn't feel threatened by Orlando's 'greatness.' He was just another actor for the girls to drool over. And it wasn't like they were ever going to meet him…and kissing posters at night definitely did not count for anything! No, the only person Shawn had to look out for was his best friend, Jared, who had a crush on Nina. Of course Shawn trusted Jared, they had been friends since preschool, but you never knew with Jared. He could be calm and serene one moment, then shooting paint balls at you the next. He was an odd one. Shawn just sighed and looked over the paper once more as he continued his way down the hallway. He didn't hear the footsteps tiptoeing in back of him.

'Aragorn deeply embraced Legolas as they shared a passionate kiss.' What?!?!? Nina was writing slash?!? Shawn shuddered at the thought. If she thinks I'm ever going to kiss a guy, she's got another thing coming! The thought of two guys together was sickening for Shawn. Guy on guy action, how about no? That was just gross! Next time he saw Nina, they would be having a little chat about this. Nina had actually called him a homophobe, and he supposed he was. But the fact she put stories like that online was a little unsettling for her boyfriend.

"What are you reading??" Shawn jumped back as he saw Jared leaning over his shoulder. When did he sneak up on him? Shawn looked at the papers in his hand, then at Jared, then threw them in his bag.

"Nothing! It's for Chloe!" Hopefully Jared hadn't seen what was written on the paper. Shawn didn't think he could live with himself if Jared thought he was reading slash.

"Really? Are you sure you're not fulfilling your Lustful Legolas needs?" Crap. He read it…Jared threw an arm around Shawn's shoulder. "We all know how you really are!"

Shawn threw him off. "Get off! Man, Jared. You need a girlfriend or something. Hitting on guys isn't exactly fulfilling either!" Jared gave Shawn a sly look.

"I'd be happy to take Nina off your hands!" He started pondering. "I still don't understand what she sees in you. I mean, what's with your hair? Are you trying to be a Filipino player or something? Cut it!"

"And I'm sure girls fall for your long locks…" Shawn muttered.

"Hey! At least it's died! And it's only long in the front! Anyway, I'm the better hacker, better at school, better at sports…better than you at everything. I think you should seriously think about handing her over." What Jared said was true. He had long reddish/orange/blonde locks that went short in the back. He was the guru of clothing for the other seniors.  Baggy jeans and a white shirt, with a plaid shirt over it. But his hat was his trade mark. It was a navy blue cap that said "fear" on it. Fear the Jared…Shawn did fear him. He and Nina would have made the perfect couple, other than the fact Nina was dating Shawn. Not good for Shawn.

"Do you want me to shove my bag up your ass?"

"Only if it relieves you of your sexual tendencies!" Enough of this! Jared was his best friend, but sometimes he just wanted to break his nose…or other areas…

"I'm out. I need to get home for Megan." He started walking away.

"Alright! I'll go warm up Nina for you!"

"Go wank a dog!"

Shawn sighed at his Jared-encounter. He walked down the decorated hallway. It was the famous Spirit Week at Edison High. Streamers were hanging from the ceiling, most having been ripped when everyone left an hour ago. The senior hallway had the theme of summer and fake palm tree blows ups were dangling from the doors. One of the lights overhead had a cutout of a sun while a little ways down, the lights were turned off, except for one, which was the moon. Everyone's locker had a piece of paper taped to it, some with drawings of the beach of pictures of fireworks and handwritten names at the bottom. It had all been done overnight, and had taken several hours. But this effort was not all done in vain. The seniors won the contest, getting free admission to the football game that night. It was a home game, and everyone was going to attend. Shawn briefly remembered that he and Nina were going to the game tonight. If I catch Jared with her…death be coming!

Shawn continued his walk down the hallway, stopping only at his locker to get a book, then slamming it closed and heading for the main entrance. It was two fifteen. He had to meet his little sister down at the primary school at two thirty. Everyday he had the same routine: stay after in the library for a while, or hangout with his drama friends, then go down to the primary school to pick up his little sister, Megan, and then walk home and do all his home work.

The walk down to the primary school was past the football field, right outside the high school. They had paved a small road down a hill that connected the primary school and the football field to the high school. After coming out of the front entrance, he walked along the parking lot and to the road that winded around the side of the high school. It was particularly windy that day, and Shawn's black hair kept whipping into his face. It was about chin length, but it accented his Philippine decent. Once again pulling it behind his ears, he made his way for the small road.

He felt himself being pushed along down the road by the wind. He was almost at the football field. Gathering the hair out of this face, he stopped for a moment and tried to find his balance. A sudden gust finally sent his flying forward toward the gate that led into the field. He felt his body slam into the metal wiring and he let out a gasp. His ribs were being crushed against the bar against his will. His eyes tightened closed in pain as he pushed with all his strength in the opposite direction of the wind. He couldn't breathe! Then it stopped. He fell to the ground with a thud. Gasping for air, he looked around. That was the strangest thing that ever happened to him. What caused that massive gust? Still half dazed, he stood up and brushed his pants off. He looked at the gate. It was slightly dented in from where he was pinned. What kind of force… he didn't finish his thought. The sudden clang of metal against metal and the cries of agony pierced through the air as he looked out upon the field. There he saw something that could only be described as one ludicrous scene.

Tbc…

Alrighty then. Like? Love? Loath? Apathy towards my lack of writing skills? Whatever. Thanks for reading! Now review, as I go on to rewrite the next chapter!
