AN: So, this is kind of weird, but hopefully it will turn out fine. If you haven't seen Newsies or read/seen Lord of the Rings, I suggest you do, otherwise this might not make sense. Newsies is, in my opinion, the best non-animation movie of all time, although Lord of the Rings is a close second. If you haven't seen/read these, the story may make sense, though some of the Newsieish or LOTRish aspects may be lost.
I got this idea this morning, as I was laying in bed trying to decide whether or not I should get up. To distract myself from the cold (I swear, my mom lets the house temperature drop to the 50s during the night) I was thinking of two very good movies and how cool it would be if they were combined. That's when I got out of bed. So, without further ado, here is my LOTR/Newsies crossover.

In a house somewhere in the world where they speak English...
"Mom, I'm going to watch a movie," 8-year-old Susan called.
"OK, just don't make it too loud, your brother is doing his homework," Her mother replied from the next room. Little Susan rolled her eyes, she knew her brother wasn't really doing his homework. It was, afterall, Saturday, and Kevin was using homework as an excuse to not do his chores. Susan walked over to the cabinet that held all her family's DVDs and looked them over.
"Lilo and Stich...nah, I've seen that a bunch lately," she thought as she ran her eyes over the row of DVDs.
"Monsters, INC....Harry Potter...Atlantis...The Matrix...Newsies," her eyes lit up at that, and she pulled Newsies out and set it down next to her, then looked to see what other possible movies she might want to watch.
"Emperor's New Groove...Austin Powers...Minority Report, hm that's scary...Scooby Doo...Lord of the Rings," Susan pulled that one out too, and looked through the rest but found nothing else she felt like watching. Susan carried the DVDs over to the TV and sat down, trying to decide which one to watch. She put in Newsies, then took it out and put in Lord of the Rings, then took it out.
"I wish I could watch both of them," she thought, and then her little kid brain had a wonderful idea.
"That's what I'll do!" She put in Newsies, then put Lord of the Rings on top of it, and closed the DVD player. She sat down expectantly on the couch, while the player tried to figure out what to do with the two DVDs. Then suddenly the lights flickered and went out as a grinding noise came from the player. Too movies, one screen...the worlds of Newsies and Lord of the Rings were thrust upon each other....
