The Nightclub
This story uses characters from the Matrix, the Matrix Reloaded, the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, Donnie Darko and Legally Blonde. I don't own anything to do with any of those films.
Chapter 1
It was 8PM on Saturday 25th July. The proprietor of Club Indigo, Katie Anderson, was setting up for a themed film star evening. She'd put advertisements all over the internet inviting film characters to the event. It started at 8.30PM and she couldn't wait to see the costumes people had dreamt up.
At 8.12PM there was a knock on the door which was repeated three times. Surely the first guest couldn't be here already? She opened the door to see a tall man wearing long robes about to step inside. He had a long grey beard and was carrying a wooden staff.
"You're very early," she said disapprovingly as he stepped inside and removed his tall grey hat.
"A wizard is never early, Katie Anderson," he said gruffly, "Nor is he late. He always arrives precisely when he means to!" And with this he went over to the fridge and started casting spells which turned the milk sour.
"Wizard?" Katie was confused.
"Yes. Gandalf the Grey. I was most pleasantly surprised by your notice. I haven't had a good night out in years. Centuries, in fact." He then set about turning the sour milk into yogurt.
Katie was now very confused. It couldn't be - she couldn't have managed to invite a real film character, could she?
"Oh, and by the way," the wizard continued, "I do hope that you have plenty of ale. I have four small friends dropping by soon and they do like their drink."
Katie was about to answer when there was another knock at the door, followed by an explosion of giggles. It could only be her sister, Becky.
"Hi, how's it going?" asked Becky cheerily as she opened the door. "Look who I found on the street corner!" She gestured towards a pallid dark- haired youth standing behind her next to a guy in a bunny costume. "He says his name is Donnie Darko! Isn't he cute?"
"Uhh - Becky, do you know who he is?"
"No. Oh, and the guy in the bunny costume is Frank. He says the funniest things."
Frank stepped forward. "28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds," he began, "That is when the world will end. 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 7 seconds. That is when the world will end. 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 2 secon-"
"All right!" said Katie, "I know. Now, please do not continue with the countdown to Armageddon during the party. Its a real mood-killer."
There was a sudden yelp behind her. She turned round to see Gandalf being attacked by two large pieces of cheese that he had bewitched.
"Hey, who's the grey-haired dude?" said Becky.
"A wizard. Gandalf, please stop bewitching my groceries."
"Oh, cool," said Becky, "So can Donnie stay? He won't be any trouble."
"Okay. But Donnie, you must make Frank keep quiet. I don't want him depressing the other guests..."
