HELLO AGAIN PEOPLES!!!!! Here is your dear authoress Becky Greenleaf again
:D. Thankies everyone for all the reviews they've sent. They've been much
appreciated. Your notes are on the bottom.
Well here it is you'll. The VERY VERY VERY LAST CHAPTER IN THE MAYHEM IN MIDDLE-EARTH FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING EDITION. Not to worry.The Two Towers is on its way! And is guaranteed to be more insane than this :D So it's The Great River, The Breaking Of The Fellowship and The Departure of Boromir all rolled into this one chapter. BTW, it is all MOVIEVERSE. Oh and.that's not the proper way to use curlers. I wouldn't know as I have never used curlers WITH HAIRSPRAY. Only without. Yeah and I really should stop saying 'meanwhile'.
Disclaimer: I own myself and this story. All the characters belong to J.R.R. Tolkien. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl belongs to Gore Verbinski or Jerry Bruckheimer or Disney or whoever owns it. Johnny Depp belongs to himself. (Sadly. It would be fun to own him and make him act out Captain Jack Sparrow everyday ;)) Twix, Milky Way, Snickers etc. DO NOT BELONG TO ME. They belong to the wonderful people who created them. I do not own Rainbow Sticks either. I'm not quite sure who owns Rainbow Sticks. Don't own Goldeneye. Don't own James Bond. I don't own Ronin and I don't own Don't Say A Word. All those aforementioned movies belong to their directors\writers whoever but IT'S NOT ME!
Seeing as this is the last chapter in the Fellowship, this is going to be dedicated to more than two people. Also I'm getting fed up of counting reviews to see who've given me so much, so I'll just pick you guys randomly okay? I hope you don't mind!!! :D *Drumroll* This chapter is dedicated to Celtic Dawn Star, Rogue Solus and Guess (the anonymous person who keeps leaving me all these reviews!)
OH and BTW, I have a Yahoo! Group now. It's a Lord of the Rings Group but we talk about all the actors and the movies and stuff like that. You can join even if you have MSN or AOL or whatever. If you wanna join just send me an email at my address: popiceprincess@hotmail.com and tell me that you want to join so I'll send you an invitation. Okay?
Chapter 20: The Breaking of the Fellowship
"One fishie, two fishie, three fishie, four," Becky sang loudly as she used her bright pink file to eh what else? file her non-existent nails.
"Five fishie, six fishie, seven fishie, eight," Missy finished, putting another blue curler in Frodo's head. Sam administered a blast of strawberry- scented hairspray. Poor Frodo looked mortified as Becky popped in a bright pink curler and Sam sprayed his hair again.
It was the next day and Frodo and Sam had joined Becky, Missy, Legolas and Aragorn in their boat and had left Merry, Pippin, Boromir and Gimli in the other.
"You know, now that I think about it Frodo doesn't really need curlers does he?" Becky asked, curling a handful of Frodo's thick, ALREADY CURLY hair around a yellow curler.
"That's true," Missy said, blinking with the realization. "Exactly why are we doing this?"
"Because Aragorn's hair is extremely dirty and he refuses to allow you to wash it, Sam is to spray the hair in the curlers with hairspray and he needs to administer the Milky Way bar to Frodo if the hair pull you give him hurts too much, I WILL NOT LET THE TWO OF YOU NEAR MY HAIR and all the others are too far for you too reach," Legolas rattled off, by heart. He'd had to repeat that exactly twenty-two times in the past hour and a half.
"Oh! I completely forgot!" Becky giggled and then looked at Frodo. "I think that's about it. Let's put the hairnet over it."
Together Becky and Missy put on the bright pink hairnet over the trembling Frodo's head.
"There," Becky gazed at their handiwork. "How beautiful! Now Frodo, you ARE UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES TO TOUCH OR WET YOUR HAIR. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
"Yes ma'am," Frodo and Sam said simultaneously.
"You should leave it in overnight and that should do the trick," Missy said. "But if you want it really, really, really, really curly after you leave it on overnight, take them out of your hair BUT DO NOT BRUSH, check your hair's progress and then put the curlers back in, SPRAY ONCE AGAIN and leave it for about two days."
"Oh. Okay," was all Frodo could say as he tentatively lifted a hand and poked at the hairnet.
"I SAID DON'T TOUCH!" Becky shouted. Frodo immediately sat on his hand.
There came a loud cry from the forest along the banks of the river and everything immediately fell silent. Even Becky and Missy stopped and blinked. Legolas, Aragorn and Boromir stopped rowing.
Legolas and Aragorn immediately turned to the side and peered into the forest. The cries came again and Becky and Missy whimpered and hugged each other.
"What is it?" Missy whispered to Becky, beginning to nibble the tips of her flesh as she had already eaten off all her fingernails.
"Shh!" Becky whispered, signaling for her cousin to be quiet for once.
Legolas shook his head, not quite sure of exactly what lurked in the depths of the forest. He picked up his paddle and indicated for Aragorn to do so.
They began rowing faster and faster down the river. Finally after several minutes of silence and extremely quick rowing they catch sight of two gigantic stone statues in the distance.
"Way! Those are some REALLY BIG STATUES!" Becky said, breaking the silence. She gazed at them in wonder. "I never knew how cool they'd look unless I was like, gazing right up at them!"
Aragorn tapped Frodo gently on the shoulder, making sure to avoid touching the hairnet. "Frodo. Argonath. Long have I desired to look upon the Kings of old. My kin."
"So what happened to Becky and Missy?" Becky said, pouting. "And Sam. And Leggy. So the only person you tell is Frodo?!"
"Oh be quiet!" Aragorn commanded, thoroughly fed up of Becky's non-stop babbling. Becky gave him the Evil Elf Eye and stuck out her now purple tongue at him.
"Ooh! Elrondie would LOVE the color of your tongue!" Missy giggled, popping an entire pack of bright blue gum into her mouth. "Ooh. I want my tongue blue!"
"I want my tongue green," Frodo put in.
"Here's a Rainbow Stick," Becky handed him something that resembled a candy cane without the hook part. It was striped with all colors of the rainbow imaginable. "I-I-I hope you enjoy it!" She burst into hysterical tears and buried her face in Legolas' shoulder.
"Oh FRODO!" Missy embraced the shocked Hobbit and immediately turned away and began sobbing too.
"Oh and Sam!" Becky tackled Sam into a hug with Frodo and Missy and the cousins sobbed into the Hobbits' shoulders.
"Never mind!" Aragorn sighed impatiently and turned away from the cousins. He and Legolas began rowing faster and faster and they quickly passed between the two statues.
Becky and Missy stopped crying a whole new river that could rival Anduin and immediately brought out their cameras and snapped away madly.
Finally they came to the western shore of the river and everyone began piling out of the boats and unloading all the supplies.
Well, everyone except for Becky and Missy who both surprisingly stayed put.
"Come on, you two. I thought your 'butts were going stiff'," Aragorn said.
The cousins ignored him and got to their feet even as Aragorn and Legolas were still unloading their stuff.
"Okay. On the count of three." Becky said. "One, two, THREE!"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Legolas cried but it was already too late. The cousins leaped into the water with a huge splash and they soaked everyone to the bone.
They resurfaced a few seconds later, giggling insanely. They paddled to shore and began wringing out their hair and clothes.
"I can't believe the two of you!" Legolas shouted. "You wet my hair! I'm going to hurt the two of you!"
"Oh no!" Aragorn exclaimed. "I'm wet! Does this mean that I sort of got a bath? I'll hurt the two of you too!"
"Ahhh!" the cousins took off running but didn't get that far before Aragorn and Legolas tackled them and dragged them back to the trees.
"Hey put me down you bad Elf!" Becky shouted at Legolas, who was holding her well off the ground so she couldn't run anywhere. But then she changed her tone. "Ooh! I've always wanted Legolas to pick me up! Leggy you're so strong! OOF!"
Legolas had immediately dropped her onto the ground like a sack of bad mushrooms.
"Haha. Aragorn still has me!!" Missy said but Aragorn dropped her right next to her cousin. "Aww! Hey! That hurt!"
"We cross the lake at nightfall, hide the boats, and continue on foot. We approach Mordor from the north," Aragorn replied through clenched teeth as he squeezed the water out of his clothes and hair.
"CONTINUE ON FOOT?!" Missy said, eyes wide. "But.but.I'm wearing my strapped platforms."
"Well then you'll have to take them off," Legolas said, performing the same trick he'd done in Rivendell: he shook out himself like a dog and was instantly dry and perfect once again. :)
"Oh, yes? Just a simple matter of finding our way through Emyn Muil? An impassable labyrinth of razor-sharp rocks?" Gimli said, squeezing water out of his beard. "And after that, it gets even better! Festering, stinking marshlands, as far as the eye can see!"
"That is our road. I suggest you take some rest and recover your strength, Master Dwarf," Aragorn replied.
"Ooh! I just love the way your voice sounds when you say that!" Missy sighed, digging through her backpack for some fresh clothes.
"Recover my." Gimli muttered incredulously.
"Don't waste your time," Becky whispered to Missy but Aragorn and Legolas overheard her.
"Why?" Aragorn asked, coming over to them. "She might catch a cold."
"Oh er.nothing," Becky replied, eyes wide. "I didn't say anything."
"Yes you did," Legolas chimed in. "You said 'don't waste your time'."
"LEAVE ME ALONE! Don't put me in interrogation! I swear I didn't do it!" Becky broke into tears and dropped down onto her knees and placed her hands in a begging motion. "Please don't send me to the big padded room at the end of the hall!!!"
"What are you talking about?" Legolas asked, gazing at her concernedly. Every time he talked to this girl, he seriously worried about her mental health.
"Oh yeah. What am I talking about?" Becky grinned sheepishly and got to her feet. "Whoopsie daisy!"
Aragorn and Legolas shook their heads and wandered away from the cousins.
"We should leave now," Legolas said quietly to Aragorn.
"No. Orcs patrol the eastern shore. We must wait for the cover of darkness," Aragorn replied.
"It is not the eastern shore that worries me. A shadow and a threat has been growing in my mind. Something draws near. I can feel it," Legolas stared into the depths of the forest.
"And not a soul listens to the eldest and the hottest of you all," Becky interrupted. "I think that you people really should start listening to the Hot Elf. I mean he doesn't have heightened senses for no reason, does he? And when he tries to help you out you ignore his warnings and he could really truly save you a lot of trouble."
"You know that was the first thing you've ever said that makes at least some sense," Pippin said, munching on a mini Twix that Missy had given him.
"Yeah." Becky said now realizing the fact. "Oh Pippin! You're so smart!"
Becky tossed herself at the Hobbit and hugged him. She buried her face in his hair and began sobbing. "Oh you too, Merry!"
She pulled Merry and Missy into the hug and the cousins began crying even louder and more hysterically.
"Okay that's it. Let GO," Aragorn grabbed Becky and Missy by the backs of their soaking wet shirts and dragged them away from the choking Merry and Pippin.
"Recover strength..." Gimli went on. He turned to Pippin. "Pay no heed to that, young Hobbit."
"Where's Frodo?" Merry said suddenly, noticing that he could no longer see Frodo's pink hairnet.
Everyone immediately looked up and noticed the hobbit missing but Aragorn realized that Boromir was nowhere to be seen.
"Come on, Missy. Let's go find that cute little Hobbity," Becky said and before anyone could protest the cousins had taken off into the woods.
A few minutes later the cousins saw Frodo wandering alone through the woods, sucking away happily on his Rainbow Stick. Suddenly Boromir appeared, collecting firewood.
Becky motioned for Missy to be quiet and they hid behind a large patch of bushes and a conveniently positioned tree.
"None of us should wander alone. You least of all. So much depends on you. Frodo? I know why you seek solitude. You suffer. I see it day by day. Are you sure you do not suffer needlessly? There are other ways, Frodo. Other paths that we might take," Boromir said, completely unaware that Becky and Missy lurked nearby.
"I know what you would say, and it would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart," Frodo replied, chewing up a bit of Rainbow Stick and then sticking out his tongue and tried to see what color it was. "Is my tongue green yet?"
"Warning? Against what?" Boromir asked. "No. It's sort of blue."
He began advancing towards Frodo who backed away immediately. "We're all afraid, Frodo, but to let that fear drive us to destroy what hope we have. Don't you see, it's madness."
"There is no other way," Frodo replied.
"I ask only for the strength to defend my people!" Boromir snarled. He tossed the firewood violently onto the ground, causing Becky and Missy to whimper in fright.
"If you would but lend me the Ring," Boromir went on, unaware of the whimpering noises that the bushes were making.
"NO!" Frodo backed away even further.
"Why do you recoil? I am no thief!" Boromir said.
"You are not yourself!" Frodo replied in a trembling voice, nearly dropping his Rainbow Stick.
"What chance do you think you have? They will find you. They will take the Ring. And you will beg for death before the end!" Boromir shouted after Frodo who had turned and was walking away.
"You fool! It is not yours save by unhappy chance," Boromir went on, with an evil glint in his eyes. He walked towards Frodo who started running. "It could have been mine. It should be mine!" He lunged at Frodo and tackled him to the ground.
"Give it to me! Give me the Ring!" Boromir demanded.
"NO!" Frodo shouted, struggling to speak around the Rainbow Stick in his mouth. He put on the Ring and disappeared. He hit Boromir and the latter jumps away.
"I see your mind!! You will take the Ring to Sauron! You will betray us! You go to your death! And the death of us all! Curse you! Curse you and all the Halflings!" Boromir shouted in a rage. He slipped and tumbled down the hill.
"Frodo? Frodo. What have I done? Please, Frodo..." Boromir said, realizing what he had done. "Frodo, I'm sorry! Frodo!"
He suddenly noticed the whimpering and dashed over to the bushes to see Becky and Missy gazing up at him fearfully. They screamed when they saw him and took off running into the distance.
Meanwhile Frodo still had the Ring on and the world was in darkness. He saw the Tower of Barad-dûr and he saw the Eye of Sauron.
"GIVE ME THAT RAINBOW STICK!" The Eye commanded. And then as if as an afterthought, "Give me the Ring too!"
"THE RING AND THE RAINBOW STICK ARE MINE!" Frodo shouted back. He removed the Ring from his finger and world immediately came back into light. He caught sight of Aragorn coming towards him.
"Frodo?" Aragorn calls, part of his worry relieved. He'd set off himself to look for Boromir, Frodo, Becky and Missy when they hadn't returned.
"It has taken Boromir," Frodo panted, taking a hearty suck of his Rainbow Stick. Darn that wicked Sauron for wanting his Rainbow Stick.
"Where is the Ring?" Aragorn asked, his voice sounding somewhat harsh.
"Stay away!" Frodo said, backing away. "How many times must I tell you people? The Rainbow Stick is mine! Go get your own!"
"Frodo! I swore to protect you!" Aragorn declared, coming forward. "And I don't want your Rainbow Stick."
"Can you protect me from yourself?" Frodo asked, showing the Ring to Aragorn. "Would you destroy it?" He held out his hand to Aragorn.
"Aragorn. Aragorn. Elessar," the Ring called to Aragorn.
Aragorn knelt before Frodo and closed Frodo's hand over the Ring.
"I would have gone with you to the end. Into the very fires of Mordor," Aragorn said, his voice thick with emotion.
"I know. Look after the others. Especially Sam. He will not understand," Frodo said.
Aragorn nodded but leapt to his feet and drew out his sword.
Frodo realized and unsheathed Sting. The sword was glowing blue.
"Go, Frodo," Aragorn commanded. "Run. RUN!"
Frodo took off running with a sweep of his Elven cloak and Aragorn turned to fight the oncoming Orc army.
He immediately began taking down the Orc-like creatures left, right and center. :)
"Mr. Frodo!" Sam called, as he ran through the forest, far from the action taking place with Aragorn and the Orc-like thingies.
"Find the Halfling! Find the Halfling!" an Uruk-hai cried out.
Several Orcs and Uruk-hai chased Aragorn up a stone structure and he leapt off it, crying, "Elendil!"
He landed on his back on the ground, still slaughtering the creatures that attacked him from all sides.
Legolas and Gimli appear, Becky and Missy at their heels.
"Aragorn, go!" Legolas cried, shooting down all the Orc-like thingies. He poked an Orc in the eye with an arrow and as it fell, he strung it in his bow and shot the one behind it.
"Yeah you kick butt Leggy!" Becky cheered. An Uruk-hai headed straight for her and Missy but it was immediately hewn down by a strike of Gimli's axe.
"Oh yeah you go Gimli! It's your birthday!" Missy giggled.
In the meantime, Frodo had been running through the woods when he decided to seek shelter behind a tree. He sees Merry and Pippin hiding.
"Frodo!" Merry called.
"Hide here, quick! Come on!" Pippin called but Frodo shook his head.
"What's he doing?" Pippin turned to Merry as Frodo shook his head again.
"He's leaving," Merry said, suddenly realizing what Frodo meant to do.
"NO!" Pippin cried loudly.
"Pippin!" his cousin chided.
But it was too late, Pippin jumped out of his hiding place and Merry quickly followed. They saw Orcs coming closer.
"Run Frodo. Go!" Merry called to Frodo.
"Hey, hey you! Over here!" Merry called, waving to the oncoming Orcs.
"Over here! Over here! This way!" Pippin cried. "It's working!"
"I know it's working! RUN!" Merry yelled and he and Pippin began running.
Meanwhile, Legolas was slashing his way through more and more Orcs with those cute little Elven knives of his.
"Ooh! Where are our Elven blades?" Becky asked Missy. They ducked to avoid the sword of an Uruk-hai right before Aragorn sliced off its head.
"You SO RULE, Aragorn!" Becky and Missy giggled insanely.
"Ooh wait! Here they are!" Becky pulled out her Elven blade from her pocket and waved it menacingly. "I am the Kung-Fu soon-to-be-the-Queen of Mirkwood. All will fear me!" She tossed Missy her own and Missy narrowly avoided chopping off several of her own fingers.
"And I am the future Queen of Gondor. All had better run from me! Hi-yah!!" Missy waved the blade and began imitating some moves from the last karate show she'd seen.
"YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE THE QUEEN OF MIRKWOOD!" Legolas said, shooting several Orcs. "In your dreams but never, never in reality. I'd denounce my Princeship if that ever happened."
"Me too!" Aragorn said, slaughtering several more Orcs with his sword. "I'd denounce my Kingship and I'd go live in a hole!"
Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn laughed heartily.
"That's not very funny!" Becky and Missy pouted, still fending off the Orcs with jabs of the Elven blades.
Meanwhile Merry and Pippin were fleeing valiantly from the Orcs but soon they were surrounded when another large group of Orcs appeared from another end of the forest.
An Orc swung an axe at Pippin but Boromir appeared and began slaughtering many Orcs.
Merry and Pippin take the hint and draw their swords and they both leapt on an Uruk-hai and brought it down.
Back on the other side of the forest Becky, Missy, Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas are still battling Orcs and Uruk-hai.
Aragorn is murdering many of the creatures but one had him in a particularly tight grip but Legolas immediately loosed an arrow and the Orc was caught in the back. It dropped Aragorn and fell to the ground dead.
The loud sound of a horn echoes through out the forest.
"The Horn of Gondor," Legolas said.
"Ooh! Look at that spot of dirt on your forehead," Becky sighed. "It makes you look even hotter!"
"Boromir!" Aragorn said, shoving his way past Legolas.
"Hey, don't run the Hot Elf over!" Becky shouted after him as they all took off to find Boromir.
"Run! Run!" Boromir yelled to Merry and Pippin on the other side of the forest. Merry and Pippin run a few meters away and they stop.
Lurtz appears over the top of the hill as Boromir continues to slaughter the Orcs and it drew its bow and sent an arrow at Boromir.
It caught him in the chest. Boromir dropped to his knees for a moment but went on fighting valiantly. Lurtz snarled in anger and as Boromir went on fighting, shot him again in the chest.
Boromir staggered a bit and for a moment it looked to Merry, Pippin and the Uruk-hai that it was all over but Boromir got shakily to his feet again and began fighting with the Orcs and Uruk-hai again.
Lurtz snarled angrily and shot Boromir again. To everyone else it appears as if he's finally dying and Merry and Pippin in anger attack the Uruk-hai but they are taken and Boromir can do nothing to help them.
As they make off with the Hobbits, Lurtz comes right up to Boromir and draws his bow to shoot him in the head.
Out of nowhere Aragorn appears and begins battling Lurtz. Becky and Missy appeared suddenly and began cheering Aragorn on.
"Woo-hoo! You kick his slimy butt Aragorn!" Becky cheered, clapping merrily.
"Go Aragorn! Yeah go Aragorn!" Missy chimed, dancing.
Lurtz threw a shield at Aragorn and it pinned him to a nearby tree for a few moments before he tossed it off and came out with an awful nosebleed.
"HOW DARE YOU?!" Missy shrieked. "I'm gonna kill you, you evil creature!"
Becky grabbed her cousin and held her in place from tearing apart Lurtz. "You don't have to kill him, Aragorn does!"
Aragorn removed his knife and stabbed Lurtz in his leg. The Uruk-hai snarled in pain and knocked Aragorn away. It then pulled the knife out of its leg and licked the blood off it.
"Ewww! That's just nasty!" Becky declared, gagging. Missy nodded her agreement.
Aragorn sliced off its arm and stabbed it through the chest with his sword. Finally Aragorn beheaded it and it dropped to its knees, dead.
"That was so wicked!" Becky said, hugging him.
"Totally awesome!" Missy agreed.
"Thank you," Aragorn whispered, panting but he gently pushed them aside and raced over to Boromir.
"No," he murmured, looking down at his dying comrade.
"They took the little ones," Boromir choked, his face pale.
"Stay still," Aragorn said.
"Boromir sweetie?" Becky asked, eyes shining with tears.
"Hello Becky, Hi Missy," he managed to choke out, lifting his hand in a feeble wave towards them.
He turned back to Aragorn. "Frodo. Where is Frodo?"
"I let Frodo go," Aragorn admitted. At that Becky let out a loud sniffle.
"Then you did what I could not. I tried to take the Ring from him," Boromir said.
"The Ring is beyond our reach now," Aragorn replied.
"Forgive me. I did not see it. I have failed you all," Boromir said.
"No, Boromir. You fought bravely. You have kept your honor," Aragorn assured him. He went to remove an arrow from Boromir.
"Leave it! It is over. The world of Men will fall. And all will come to darkness. My city to ruin," Boromir said, stopping Aragorn.
Becky burst into full-fledged tears and she and Missy who had been standing a little way off, rushed to Boromir's side.
"Oh Boromir!" Becky buried her face in his shoulder. "I wish you didn't have to die! I'm soooorrrryyyyy!!! Boromir, my other love, do not leave me!"
"I AM NOT YOUR LOVE!" Boromir shouted with whatever little bit of strength he had left in him.
"Soorrryyyy. Touché," Becky pouted. "Oh! I don't want you to die! Why did J.R.R. Tolkien have to kill you in his book?"
"Maybe he wanted some tragedy," Missy pointed out, drying away her tears.
"That's true," Becky nodded but went on, "But why poor Boromir? I mean Sean Bean did a really good Boromir. But then again Sean Bean is a really good actor."
"He is? What other shows has he acted in?" Missy asked. "I only remember this movie."
"He was in TONS of others," Becky said, nodding. "He was in this James Bond movie: Goldeneye. I found the movie was good. He was also in Don't Say A Word. Oh! His accent was so thick and Irish-y. It was so dreamy. And he was in Ronin too! I've seen Ronin so many times! Do you know that Daddy really likes that show? And-"
"EXCUSE ME but we are trying to have a peaceful last few moments in this death scene?" Aragorn asked.
"Oh! Oops! Go on," Becky motioned for them to go on.
Aragorn and Boromir rolled their eyes but continued.
"I do not know what strength is in my blood. But I swear to you, I will not let the White City fall. Nor our people fail," Aragorn said.
"I love your voice when you say that," Becky sighed and she and Missy giggled maniacally.
"Our people," Boromir repeated and Aragorn nodded.
"Our people," Boromir said again and Aragorn gave this really cute nod that made Becky and Missy shriek with delight.
Aragorn ignored them and handed Boromir his sword.
Legolas and Gimli run up to them, grief and sadness etched in their faces.
"FOR THE LOVE OF LEMBAS, you look so hot when you're sad!" Becky giggled and leaving Boromir's side, she tackled Legolas and wrapped him in a tight hug.
Fortunately (for Becky) in this moment of grief, Legolas actually patted her on the back.
"I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king," Boromir said to Aragorn who looked down at him sadly.
"Buh bye Borymir," Becky sniffled, reaching back by his side and tugging on his hair.
"Bye bye," Missy echoed, sniffling.
"Bye girls," Boromir whispered and then grew still.
"Oh no Boromir!" Becky wailed and began sobbing even harder. "NO!"
"Oh wait," Boromir said, suddenly coming alive again. "One last thing: ARAGORN TAKE A BATH FOR FUZZY'S SAKE, MAN!" Then he closed his eyes and went still again.
"Be at peace, son of Gondor," Aragorn whispered and kissed Boromir's forehead. Becky could have sworn she'd seen Boromir's nose twitch but she passed it off as just a moment of her usual madness.
"They will look for his coming from the White Tower but he will not return," Aragorn said, standing up. As the sunlight shone down on his face, a tear slid down his cheek.
"Frodo!" Sam called, running through the forest searching for Frodo, far from the sad death that had just taken place and Frodo.
Meanwhile, Frodo was standing by the boats, holding the Ring in his hand. Fat tears slid down his cute little Hobbit cheeks.
He was remembering in Moria when he had been talking to Gandalf.
"I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened," Frodo had said to Gandalf.
"So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide," Gandalf had replied. "All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you."
Frodo's hand closed over the Ring and running to the water's edge he set off in one of the boats.
"Frodo, no!!! Frodo! Mr. Frodo!" Sam called, running out onto shore. He ran into the water after Frodo.
"No, Sam," Frodo said softly to himself. Then he called over his shoulder to Sam, "Go back, Sam. I'm going to Mordor alone."
"Of course you are. And I'm coming with you!!" Sam said, wading deeper into the water.
"You can't swim. Sam!" Frodo called. Suddenly Sam's head slipped underneath the water. "SAM!"
"The things I have to do," Frodo sighed.
Underneath the water, Sam is struggling to reach a ray of light coming from above the water's surface but soon his whole body goes limp and begins to sink. Frodo's hand appeared underneath the water and grabbed Sam's wrist. Suddenly Sam's hand tightens around Frodo's and he hauls him to the surface and into the boat with some difficulty.
"I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise: "Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee." And I don't mean to. I don't mean to," Sam said, struggling to breath.
"Oh, Sam," Frodo said and he embraced Sam, the both of them in tears. "Come on, then."
Frodo and Sam row off together, eastward across Anduin.
Back at the western shore, Boromir's body is laid out on one of the Elven boats, his hands clasped around his sword. Aragorn tries on Boromir's gauntlets and he stares into the distance, as Boromir's funeral boat drifts down to the falls of Rauros, and swept over the side. Gimli stands alone, at one side and Becky and Missy were sitting on shore now in fresh, new clothes and they had finally taken off their platform shoes.
Legolas pushes one of the Elven boats hurriedly into the water.
"Hurry! Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore!" Legolas said, glancing at his companions when he saw they made no movement to follow. Aragorn looks across the river where the backs of Sam and Frodo can be seen rushing off into the distance.
"You mean not to follow them," Legolas realized.
"Frodo's fate is no longer in our hands," Aragorn said, decidedly.
"Then it has all been in vain. The Fellowship has failed," Gimli said and that caused Becky to burst into sobs.
"Not if we hold true to each other," Aragorn said, beckoning Becky and Missy over. He placed his hands on Legolas and Gimli's shoulders. Becky and Missy pressed themselves onto either of his sides. "We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind. We travel light. Let's hunt some Orc."
"YES!!!" Gimli declared and Legolas smiled.
Becky and Missy giggled as they hurried away to put on their sneakers.
"TRAVEL LIGHT?" Becky echoed, suddenly catching what Aragorn had just said. "TRAVEL LIGHT? HELLO, I need all my clothes and all my stuff. I mean there's CHOCOLATE hidden everywhere in our suitcases."
"Come Becky dear," Legolas declared, rushing to her side. "Let me help you with those many bags of yours."
"Ah yes Missy," Aragorn said, suddenly materializing by Missy. "That suitcase looks really heavy. Let me help you there."
"Oh and of course you girls, always know to count on me to help you out," Gimli smiled at them.
"Of course!" Becky and Missy grinned and piled all their suitcases onto them. "Thank you all so much! You'll get your rewards along the way!"
As they made sure that they were ready to go, a slight sound caught Legolas' ear.
"What is it?" Aragorn asked, his remaining free FINGER on his sword.
"I thought I heard someone scream," Legolas said but he listened hard again and there was silence. "Oh well. Let us go."
Everyone set off at a slow pace into the forest, as they could no longer move any faster because they were laden with suitcases.
Suddenly, a scream echoed throughout the forest and this time they ALL heard it.
"YOU IDIOTS! I'M STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*******************************************************************
"Mordor. I hope the others find a safer road," Frodo said as he and Sam stood looking at the long road to Mordor.
"Strider will look after them," Sam assured.
"I really hope he takes great care of Becky and Missy. They're so young. I'm beginning to wonder if they should have ever come with us," Frodo said, sadly.
"Oh no!" said Sam. "They seemed to have enjoyed every moment."
"Yeah," Frodo said, with a small smile. "I don't suppose we'll ever see them again. The rest of the Fellowship I mean."
"We may yet, Mr. Frodo. We may," Sam said.
"Sam." Frodo said with a smile. "I'm glad you're with me."
"Though," he went on. "I could really do with Becky and Missy here. I am like, seriously craving like, a chocolate bar."
"Like, oh my gosh! I totally forgot! They gave me a whole bagful last night!" Sam said, digging through his backpack and lo and behold he held up a huge garbage bag full of chocolate.
"THANK YOU BECKY AND MISSY!" Frodo cried to the world at large. "I love the two of you!"
"We love you guys too!" Becky and Missy mysteriously appeared right next to the Hobbits and planted kisses on their cheeks. "We'll miss you guys!"
"And by the way Frodo. DON'T FORGET what we told you about the hair, okay?" Becky said, patting Frodo on the shoulder. "You're going to look so cute and curly by the time it's done!!"
They disappeared again and Frodo and Sam just blinked.
"You know the two of them really scare me sometimes," Frodo said.
"Maybe it's where they come from. Maybe the people on Earth act like that," Sam replied.
"Earth. Must be chockfull of insane people."

Well here it is you'll. The VERY VERY VERY LAST CHAPTER IN THE MAYHEM IN MIDDLE-EARTH FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING EDITION. Not to worry.The Two Towers is on its way! And is guaranteed to be more insane than this :D So it's The Great River, The Breaking Of The Fellowship and The Departure of Boromir all rolled into this one chapter. BTW, it is all MOVIEVERSE. Oh and.that's not the proper way to use curlers. I wouldn't know as I have never used curlers WITH HAIRSPRAY. Only without. Yeah and I really should stop saying 'meanwhile'.
Disclaimer: I own myself and this story. All the characters belong to J.R.R. Tolkien. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl belongs to Gore Verbinski or Jerry Bruckheimer or Disney or whoever owns it. Johnny Depp belongs to himself. (Sadly. It would be fun to own him and make him act out Captain Jack Sparrow everyday ;)) Twix, Milky Way, Snickers etc. DO NOT BELONG TO ME. They belong to the wonderful people who created them. I do not own Rainbow Sticks either. I'm not quite sure who owns Rainbow Sticks. Don't own Goldeneye. Don't own James Bond. I don't own Ronin and I don't own Don't Say A Word. All those aforementioned movies belong to their directors\writers whoever but IT'S NOT ME!
Seeing as this is the last chapter in the Fellowship, this is going to be dedicated to more than two people. Also I'm getting fed up of counting reviews to see who've given me so much, so I'll just pick you guys randomly okay? I hope you don't mind!!! :D *Drumroll* This chapter is dedicated to Celtic Dawn Star, Rogue Solus and Guess (the anonymous person who keeps leaving me all these reviews!)
OH and BTW, I have a Yahoo! Group now. It's a Lord of the Rings Group but we talk about all the actors and the movies and stuff like that. You can join even if you have MSN or AOL or whatever. If you wanna join just send me an email at my address: popiceprincess@hotmail.com and tell me that you want to join so I'll send you an invitation. Okay?
Chapter 20: The Breaking of the Fellowship
"One fishie, two fishie, three fishie, four," Becky sang loudly as she used her bright pink file to eh what else? file her non-existent nails.
"Five fishie, six fishie, seven fishie, eight," Missy finished, putting another blue curler in Frodo's head. Sam administered a blast of strawberry- scented hairspray. Poor Frodo looked mortified as Becky popped in a bright pink curler and Sam sprayed his hair again.
It was the next day and Frodo and Sam had joined Becky, Missy, Legolas and Aragorn in their boat and had left Merry, Pippin, Boromir and Gimli in the other.
"You know, now that I think about it Frodo doesn't really need curlers does he?" Becky asked, curling a handful of Frodo's thick, ALREADY CURLY hair around a yellow curler.
"That's true," Missy said, blinking with the realization. "Exactly why are we doing this?"
"Because Aragorn's hair is extremely dirty and he refuses to allow you to wash it, Sam is to spray the hair in the curlers with hairspray and he needs to administer the Milky Way bar to Frodo if the hair pull you give him hurts too much, I WILL NOT LET THE TWO OF YOU NEAR MY HAIR and all the others are too far for you too reach," Legolas rattled off, by heart. He'd had to repeat that exactly twenty-two times in the past hour and a half.
"Oh! I completely forgot!" Becky giggled and then looked at Frodo. "I think that's about it. Let's put the hairnet over it."
Together Becky and Missy put on the bright pink hairnet over the trembling Frodo's head.
"There," Becky gazed at their handiwork. "How beautiful! Now Frodo, you ARE UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES TO TOUCH OR WET YOUR HAIR. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
"Yes ma'am," Frodo and Sam said simultaneously.
"You should leave it in overnight and that should do the trick," Missy said. "But if you want it really, really, really, really curly after you leave it on overnight, take them out of your hair BUT DO NOT BRUSH, check your hair's progress and then put the curlers back in, SPRAY ONCE AGAIN and leave it for about two days."
"Oh. Okay," was all Frodo could say as he tentatively lifted a hand and poked at the hairnet.
"I SAID DON'T TOUCH!" Becky shouted. Frodo immediately sat on his hand.
There came a loud cry from the forest along the banks of the river and everything immediately fell silent. Even Becky and Missy stopped and blinked. Legolas, Aragorn and Boromir stopped rowing.
Legolas and Aragorn immediately turned to the side and peered into the forest. The cries came again and Becky and Missy whimpered and hugged each other.
"What is it?" Missy whispered to Becky, beginning to nibble the tips of her flesh as she had already eaten off all her fingernails.
"Shh!" Becky whispered, signaling for her cousin to be quiet for once.
Legolas shook his head, not quite sure of exactly what lurked in the depths of the forest. He picked up his paddle and indicated for Aragorn to do so.
They began rowing faster and faster down the river. Finally after several minutes of silence and extremely quick rowing they catch sight of two gigantic stone statues in the distance.
"Way! Those are some REALLY BIG STATUES!" Becky said, breaking the silence. She gazed at them in wonder. "I never knew how cool they'd look unless I was like, gazing right up at them!"
Aragorn tapped Frodo gently on the shoulder, making sure to avoid touching the hairnet. "Frodo. Argonath. Long have I desired to look upon the Kings of old. My kin."
"So what happened to Becky and Missy?" Becky said, pouting. "And Sam. And Leggy. So the only person you tell is Frodo?!"
"Oh be quiet!" Aragorn commanded, thoroughly fed up of Becky's non-stop babbling. Becky gave him the Evil Elf Eye and stuck out her now purple tongue at him.
"Ooh! Elrondie would LOVE the color of your tongue!" Missy giggled, popping an entire pack of bright blue gum into her mouth. "Ooh. I want my tongue blue!"
"I want my tongue green," Frodo put in.
"Here's a Rainbow Stick," Becky handed him something that resembled a candy cane without the hook part. It was striped with all colors of the rainbow imaginable. "I-I-I hope you enjoy it!" She burst into hysterical tears and buried her face in Legolas' shoulder.
"Oh FRODO!" Missy embraced the shocked Hobbit and immediately turned away and began sobbing too.
"Oh and Sam!" Becky tackled Sam into a hug with Frodo and Missy and the cousins sobbed into the Hobbits' shoulders.
"Never mind!" Aragorn sighed impatiently and turned away from the cousins. He and Legolas began rowing faster and faster and they quickly passed between the two statues.
Becky and Missy stopped crying a whole new river that could rival Anduin and immediately brought out their cameras and snapped away madly.
Finally they came to the western shore of the river and everyone began piling out of the boats and unloading all the supplies.
Well, everyone except for Becky and Missy who both surprisingly stayed put.
"Come on, you two. I thought your 'butts were going stiff'," Aragorn said.
The cousins ignored him and got to their feet even as Aragorn and Legolas were still unloading their stuff.
"Okay. On the count of three." Becky said. "One, two, THREE!"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Legolas cried but it was already too late. The cousins leaped into the water with a huge splash and they soaked everyone to the bone.
They resurfaced a few seconds later, giggling insanely. They paddled to shore and began wringing out their hair and clothes.
"I can't believe the two of you!" Legolas shouted. "You wet my hair! I'm going to hurt the two of you!"
"Oh no!" Aragorn exclaimed. "I'm wet! Does this mean that I sort of got a bath? I'll hurt the two of you too!"
"Ahhh!" the cousins took off running but didn't get that far before Aragorn and Legolas tackled them and dragged them back to the trees.
"Hey put me down you bad Elf!" Becky shouted at Legolas, who was holding her well off the ground so she couldn't run anywhere. But then she changed her tone. "Ooh! I've always wanted Legolas to pick me up! Leggy you're so strong! OOF!"
Legolas had immediately dropped her onto the ground like a sack of bad mushrooms.
"Haha. Aragorn still has me!!" Missy said but Aragorn dropped her right next to her cousin. "Aww! Hey! That hurt!"
"We cross the lake at nightfall, hide the boats, and continue on foot. We approach Mordor from the north," Aragorn replied through clenched teeth as he squeezed the water out of his clothes and hair.
"CONTINUE ON FOOT?!" Missy said, eyes wide. "But.but.I'm wearing my strapped platforms."
"Well then you'll have to take them off," Legolas said, performing the same trick he'd done in Rivendell: he shook out himself like a dog and was instantly dry and perfect once again. :)
"Oh, yes? Just a simple matter of finding our way through Emyn Muil? An impassable labyrinth of razor-sharp rocks?" Gimli said, squeezing water out of his beard. "And after that, it gets even better! Festering, stinking marshlands, as far as the eye can see!"
"That is our road. I suggest you take some rest and recover your strength, Master Dwarf," Aragorn replied.
"Ooh! I just love the way your voice sounds when you say that!" Missy sighed, digging through her backpack for some fresh clothes.
"Recover my." Gimli muttered incredulously.
"Don't waste your time," Becky whispered to Missy but Aragorn and Legolas overheard her.
"Why?" Aragorn asked, coming over to them. "She might catch a cold."
"Oh er.nothing," Becky replied, eyes wide. "I didn't say anything."
"Yes you did," Legolas chimed in. "You said 'don't waste your time'."
"LEAVE ME ALONE! Don't put me in interrogation! I swear I didn't do it!" Becky broke into tears and dropped down onto her knees and placed her hands in a begging motion. "Please don't send me to the big padded room at the end of the hall!!!"
"What are you talking about?" Legolas asked, gazing at her concernedly. Every time he talked to this girl, he seriously worried about her mental health.
"Oh yeah. What am I talking about?" Becky grinned sheepishly and got to her feet. "Whoopsie daisy!"
Aragorn and Legolas shook their heads and wandered away from the cousins.
"We should leave now," Legolas said quietly to Aragorn.
"No. Orcs patrol the eastern shore. We must wait for the cover of darkness," Aragorn replied.
"It is not the eastern shore that worries me. A shadow and a threat has been growing in my mind. Something draws near. I can feel it," Legolas stared into the depths of the forest.
"And not a soul listens to the eldest and the hottest of you all," Becky interrupted. "I think that you people really should start listening to the Hot Elf. I mean he doesn't have heightened senses for no reason, does he? And when he tries to help you out you ignore his warnings and he could really truly save you a lot of trouble."
"You know that was the first thing you've ever said that makes at least some sense," Pippin said, munching on a mini Twix that Missy had given him.
"Yeah." Becky said now realizing the fact. "Oh Pippin! You're so smart!"
Becky tossed herself at the Hobbit and hugged him. She buried her face in his hair and began sobbing. "Oh you too, Merry!"
She pulled Merry and Missy into the hug and the cousins began crying even louder and more hysterically.
"Okay that's it. Let GO," Aragorn grabbed Becky and Missy by the backs of their soaking wet shirts and dragged them away from the choking Merry and Pippin.
"Recover strength..." Gimli went on. He turned to Pippin. "Pay no heed to that, young Hobbit."
"Where's Frodo?" Merry said suddenly, noticing that he could no longer see Frodo's pink hairnet.
Everyone immediately looked up and noticed the hobbit missing but Aragorn realized that Boromir was nowhere to be seen.
"Come on, Missy. Let's go find that cute little Hobbity," Becky said and before anyone could protest the cousins had taken off into the woods.
A few minutes later the cousins saw Frodo wandering alone through the woods, sucking away happily on his Rainbow Stick. Suddenly Boromir appeared, collecting firewood.
Becky motioned for Missy to be quiet and they hid behind a large patch of bushes and a conveniently positioned tree.
"None of us should wander alone. You least of all. So much depends on you. Frodo? I know why you seek solitude. You suffer. I see it day by day. Are you sure you do not suffer needlessly? There are other ways, Frodo. Other paths that we might take," Boromir said, completely unaware that Becky and Missy lurked nearby.
"I know what you would say, and it would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart," Frodo replied, chewing up a bit of Rainbow Stick and then sticking out his tongue and tried to see what color it was. "Is my tongue green yet?"
"Warning? Against what?" Boromir asked. "No. It's sort of blue."
He began advancing towards Frodo who backed away immediately. "We're all afraid, Frodo, but to let that fear drive us to destroy what hope we have. Don't you see, it's madness."
"There is no other way," Frodo replied.
"I ask only for the strength to defend my people!" Boromir snarled. He tossed the firewood violently onto the ground, causing Becky and Missy to whimper in fright.
"If you would but lend me the Ring," Boromir went on, unaware of the whimpering noises that the bushes were making.
"NO!" Frodo backed away even further.
"Why do you recoil? I am no thief!" Boromir said.
"You are not yourself!" Frodo replied in a trembling voice, nearly dropping his Rainbow Stick.
"What chance do you think you have? They will find you. They will take the Ring. And you will beg for death before the end!" Boromir shouted after Frodo who had turned and was walking away.
"You fool! It is not yours save by unhappy chance," Boromir went on, with an evil glint in his eyes. He walked towards Frodo who started running. "It could have been mine. It should be mine!" He lunged at Frodo and tackled him to the ground.
"Give it to me! Give me the Ring!" Boromir demanded.
"NO!" Frodo shouted, struggling to speak around the Rainbow Stick in his mouth. He put on the Ring and disappeared. He hit Boromir and the latter jumps away.
"I see your mind!! You will take the Ring to Sauron! You will betray us! You go to your death! And the death of us all! Curse you! Curse you and all the Halflings!" Boromir shouted in a rage. He slipped and tumbled down the hill.
"Frodo? Frodo. What have I done? Please, Frodo..." Boromir said, realizing what he had done. "Frodo, I'm sorry! Frodo!"
He suddenly noticed the whimpering and dashed over to the bushes to see Becky and Missy gazing up at him fearfully. They screamed when they saw him and took off running into the distance.
Meanwhile Frodo still had the Ring on and the world was in darkness. He saw the Tower of Barad-dûr and he saw the Eye of Sauron.
"GIVE ME THAT RAINBOW STICK!" The Eye commanded. And then as if as an afterthought, "Give me the Ring too!"
"THE RING AND THE RAINBOW STICK ARE MINE!" Frodo shouted back. He removed the Ring from his finger and world immediately came back into light. He caught sight of Aragorn coming towards him.
"Frodo?" Aragorn calls, part of his worry relieved. He'd set off himself to look for Boromir, Frodo, Becky and Missy when they hadn't returned.
"It has taken Boromir," Frodo panted, taking a hearty suck of his Rainbow Stick. Darn that wicked Sauron for wanting his Rainbow Stick.
"Where is the Ring?" Aragorn asked, his voice sounding somewhat harsh.
"Stay away!" Frodo said, backing away. "How many times must I tell you people? The Rainbow Stick is mine! Go get your own!"
"Frodo! I swore to protect you!" Aragorn declared, coming forward. "And I don't want your Rainbow Stick."
"Can you protect me from yourself?" Frodo asked, showing the Ring to Aragorn. "Would you destroy it?" He held out his hand to Aragorn.
"Aragorn. Aragorn. Elessar," the Ring called to Aragorn.
Aragorn knelt before Frodo and closed Frodo's hand over the Ring.
"I would have gone with you to the end. Into the very fires of Mordor," Aragorn said, his voice thick with emotion.
"I know. Look after the others. Especially Sam. He will not understand," Frodo said.
Aragorn nodded but leapt to his feet and drew out his sword.
Frodo realized and unsheathed Sting. The sword was glowing blue.
"Go, Frodo," Aragorn commanded. "Run. RUN!"
Frodo took off running with a sweep of his Elven cloak and Aragorn turned to fight the oncoming Orc army.
He immediately began taking down the Orc-like creatures left, right and center. :)
"Mr. Frodo!" Sam called, as he ran through the forest, far from the action taking place with Aragorn and the Orc-like thingies.
"Find the Halfling! Find the Halfling!" an Uruk-hai cried out.
Several Orcs and Uruk-hai chased Aragorn up a stone structure and he leapt off it, crying, "Elendil!"
He landed on his back on the ground, still slaughtering the creatures that attacked him from all sides.
Legolas and Gimli appear, Becky and Missy at their heels.
"Aragorn, go!" Legolas cried, shooting down all the Orc-like thingies. He poked an Orc in the eye with an arrow and as it fell, he strung it in his bow and shot the one behind it.
"Yeah you kick butt Leggy!" Becky cheered. An Uruk-hai headed straight for her and Missy but it was immediately hewn down by a strike of Gimli's axe.
"Oh yeah you go Gimli! It's your birthday!" Missy giggled.
In the meantime, Frodo had been running through the woods when he decided to seek shelter behind a tree. He sees Merry and Pippin hiding.
"Frodo!" Merry called.
"Hide here, quick! Come on!" Pippin called but Frodo shook his head.
"What's he doing?" Pippin turned to Merry as Frodo shook his head again.
"He's leaving," Merry said, suddenly realizing what Frodo meant to do.
"NO!" Pippin cried loudly.
"Pippin!" his cousin chided.
But it was too late, Pippin jumped out of his hiding place and Merry quickly followed. They saw Orcs coming closer.
"Run Frodo. Go!" Merry called to Frodo.
"Hey, hey you! Over here!" Merry called, waving to the oncoming Orcs.
"Over here! Over here! This way!" Pippin cried. "It's working!"
"I know it's working! RUN!" Merry yelled and he and Pippin began running.
Meanwhile, Legolas was slashing his way through more and more Orcs with those cute little Elven knives of his.
"Ooh! Where are our Elven blades?" Becky asked Missy. They ducked to avoid the sword of an Uruk-hai right before Aragorn sliced off its head.
"You SO RULE, Aragorn!" Becky and Missy giggled insanely.
"Ooh wait! Here they are!" Becky pulled out her Elven blade from her pocket and waved it menacingly. "I am the Kung-Fu soon-to-be-the-Queen of Mirkwood. All will fear me!" She tossed Missy her own and Missy narrowly avoided chopping off several of her own fingers.
"And I am the future Queen of Gondor. All had better run from me! Hi-yah!!" Missy waved the blade and began imitating some moves from the last karate show she'd seen.
"YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE THE QUEEN OF MIRKWOOD!" Legolas said, shooting several Orcs. "In your dreams but never, never in reality. I'd denounce my Princeship if that ever happened."
"Me too!" Aragorn said, slaughtering several more Orcs with his sword. "I'd denounce my Kingship and I'd go live in a hole!"
Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn laughed heartily.
"That's not very funny!" Becky and Missy pouted, still fending off the Orcs with jabs of the Elven blades.
Meanwhile Merry and Pippin were fleeing valiantly from the Orcs but soon they were surrounded when another large group of Orcs appeared from another end of the forest.
An Orc swung an axe at Pippin but Boromir appeared and began slaughtering many Orcs.
Merry and Pippin take the hint and draw their swords and they both leapt on an Uruk-hai and brought it down.
Back on the other side of the forest Becky, Missy, Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas are still battling Orcs and Uruk-hai.
Aragorn is murdering many of the creatures but one had him in a particularly tight grip but Legolas immediately loosed an arrow and the Orc was caught in the back. It dropped Aragorn and fell to the ground dead.
The loud sound of a horn echoes through out the forest.
"The Horn of Gondor," Legolas said.
"Ooh! Look at that spot of dirt on your forehead," Becky sighed. "It makes you look even hotter!"
"Boromir!" Aragorn said, shoving his way past Legolas.
"Hey, don't run the Hot Elf over!" Becky shouted after him as they all took off to find Boromir.
"Run! Run!" Boromir yelled to Merry and Pippin on the other side of the forest. Merry and Pippin run a few meters away and they stop.
Lurtz appears over the top of the hill as Boromir continues to slaughter the Orcs and it drew its bow and sent an arrow at Boromir.
It caught him in the chest. Boromir dropped to his knees for a moment but went on fighting valiantly. Lurtz snarled in anger and as Boromir went on fighting, shot him again in the chest.
Boromir staggered a bit and for a moment it looked to Merry, Pippin and the Uruk-hai that it was all over but Boromir got shakily to his feet again and began fighting with the Orcs and Uruk-hai again.
Lurtz snarled angrily and shot Boromir again. To everyone else it appears as if he's finally dying and Merry and Pippin in anger attack the Uruk-hai but they are taken and Boromir can do nothing to help them.
As they make off with the Hobbits, Lurtz comes right up to Boromir and draws his bow to shoot him in the head.
Out of nowhere Aragorn appears and begins battling Lurtz. Becky and Missy appeared suddenly and began cheering Aragorn on.
"Woo-hoo! You kick his slimy butt Aragorn!" Becky cheered, clapping merrily.
"Go Aragorn! Yeah go Aragorn!" Missy chimed, dancing.
Lurtz threw a shield at Aragorn and it pinned him to a nearby tree for a few moments before he tossed it off and came out with an awful nosebleed.
"HOW DARE YOU?!" Missy shrieked. "I'm gonna kill you, you evil creature!"
Becky grabbed her cousin and held her in place from tearing apart Lurtz. "You don't have to kill him, Aragorn does!"
Aragorn removed his knife and stabbed Lurtz in his leg. The Uruk-hai snarled in pain and knocked Aragorn away. It then pulled the knife out of its leg and licked the blood off it.
"Ewww! That's just nasty!" Becky declared, gagging. Missy nodded her agreement.
Aragorn sliced off its arm and stabbed it through the chest with his sword. Finally Aragorn beheaded it and it dropped to its knees, dead.
"That was so wicked!" Becky said, hugging him.
"Totally awesome!" Missy agreed.
"Thank you," Aragorn whispered, panting but he gently pushed them aside and raced over to Boromir.
"No," he murmured, looking down at his dying comrade.
"They took the little ones," Boromir choked, his face pale.
"Stay still," Aragorn said.
"Boromir sweetie?" Becky asked, eyes shining with tears.
"Hello Becky, Hi Missy," he managed to choke out, lifting his hand in a feeble wave towards them.
He turned back to Aragorn. "Frodo. Where is Frodo?"
"I let Frodo go," Aragorn admitted. At that Becky let out a loud sniffle.
"Then you did what I could not. I tried to take the Ring from him," Boromir said.
"The Ring is beyond our reach now," Aragorn replied.
"Forgive me. I did not see it. I have failed you all," Boromir said.
"No, Boromir. You fought bravely. You have kept your honor," Aragorn assured him. He went to remove an arrow from Boromir.
"Leave it! It is over. The world of Men will fall. And all will come to darkness. My city to ruin," Boromir said, stopping Aragorn.
Becky burst into full-fledged tears and she and Missy who had been standing a little way off, rushed to Boromir's side.
"Oh Boromir!" Becky buried her face in his shoulder. "I wish you didn't have to die! I'm soooorrrryyyyy!!! Boromir, my other love, do not leave me!"
"I AM NOT YOUR LOVE!" Boromir shouted with whatever little bit of strength he had left in him.
"Soorrryyyy. Touché," Becky pouted. "Oh! I don't want you to die! Why did J.R.R. Tolkien have to kill you in his book?"
"Maybe he wanted some tragedy," Missy pointed out, drying away her tears.
"That's true," Becky nodded but went on, "But why poor Boromir? I mean Sean Bean did a really good Boromir. But then again Sean Bean is a really good actor."
"He is? What other shows has he acted in?" Missy asked. "I only remember this movie."
"He was in TONS of others," Becky said, nodding. "He was in this James Bond movie: Goldeneye. I found the movie was good. He was also in Don't Say A Word. Oh! His accent was so thick and Irish-y. It was so dreamy. And he was in Ronin too! I've seen Ronin so many times! Do you know that Daddy really likes that show? And-"
"EXCUSE ME but we are trying to have a peaceful last few moments in this death scene?" Aragorn asked.
"Oh! Oops! Go on," Becky motioned for them to go on.
Aragorn and Boromir rolled their eyes but continued.
"I do not know what strength is in my blood. But I swear to you, I will not let the White City fall. Nor our people fail," Aragorn said.
"I love your voice when you say that," Becky sighed and she and Missy giggled maniacally.
"Our people," Boromir repeated and Aragorn nodded.
"Our people," Boromir said again and Aragorn gave this really cute nod that made Becky and Missy shriek with delight.
Aragorn ignored them and handed Boromir his sword.
Legolas and Gimli run up to them, grief and sadness etched in their faces.
"FOR THE LOVE OF LEMBAS, you look so hot when you're sad!" Becky giggled and leaving Boromir's side, she tackled Legolas and wrapped him in a tight hug.
Fortunately (for Becky) in this moment of grief, Legolas actually patted her on the back.
"I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king," Boromir said to Aragorn who looked down at him sadly.
"Buh bye Borymir," Becky sniffled, reaching back by his side and tugging on his hair.
"Bye bye," Missy echoed, sniffling.
"Bye girls," Boromir whispered and then grew still.
"Oh no Boromir!" Becky wailed and began sobbing even harder. "NO!"
"Oh wait," Boromir said, suddenly coming alive again. "One last thing: ARAGORN TAKE A BATH FOR FUZZY'S SAKE, MAN!" Then he closed his eyes and went still again.
"Be at peace, son of Gondor," Aragorn whispered and kissed Boromir's forehead. Becky could have sworn she'd seen Boromir's nose twitch but she passed it off as just a moment of her usual madness.
"They will look for his coming from the White Tower but he will not return," Aragorn said, standing up. As the sunlight shone down on his face, a tear slid down his cheek.
"Frodo!" Sam called, running through the forest searching for Frodo, far from the sad death that had just taken place and Frodo.
Meanwhile, Frodo was standing by the boats, holding the Ring in his hand. Fat tears slid down his cute little Hobbit cheeks.
He was remembering in Moria when he had been talking to Gandalf.
"I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened," Frodo had said to Gandalf.
"So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide," Gandalf had replied. "All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you."
Frodo's hand closed over the Ring and running to the water's edge he set off in one of the boats.
"Frodo, no!!! Frodo! Mr. Frodo!" Sam called, running out onto shore. He ran into the water after Frodo.
"No, Sam," Frodo said softly to himself. Then he called over his shoulder to Sam, "Go back, Sam. I'm going to Mordor alone."
"Of course you are. And I'm coming with you!!" Sam said, wading deeper into the water.
"You can't swim. Sam!" Frodo called. Suddenly Sam's head slipped underneath the water. "SAM!"
"The things I have to do," Frodo sighed.
Underneath the water, Sam is struggling to reach a ray of light coming from above the water's surface but soon his whole body goes limp and begins to sink. Frodo's hand appeared underneath the water and grabbed Sam's wrist. Suddenly Sam's hand tightens around Frodo's and he hauls him to the surface and into the boat with some difficulty.
"I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise: "Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee." And I don't mean to. I don't mean to," Sam said, struggling to breath.
"Oh, Sam," Frodo said and he embraced Sam, the both of them in tears. "Come on, then."
Frodo and Sam row off together, eastward across Anduin.
Back at the western shore, Boromir's body is laid out on one of the Elven boats, his hands clasped around his sword. Aragorn tries on Boromir's gauntlets and he stares into the distance, as Boromir's funeral boat drifts down to the falls of Rauros, and swept over the side. Gimli stands alone, at one side and Becky and Missy were sitting on shore now in fresh, new clothes and they had finally taken off their platform shoes.
Legolas pushes one of the Elven boats hurriedly into the water.
"Hurry! Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore!" Legolas said, glancing at his companions when he saw they made no movement to follow. Aragorn looks across the river where the backs of Sam and Frodo can be seen rushing off into the distance.
"You mean not to follow them," Legolas realized.
"Frodo's fate is no longer in our hands," Aragorn said, decidedly.
"Then it has all been in vain. The Fellowship has failed," Gimli said and that caused Becky to burst into sobs.
"Not if we hold true to each other," Aragorn said, beckoning Becky and Missy over. He placed his hands on Legolas and Gimli's shoulders. Becky and Missy pressed themselves onto either of his sides. "We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind. We travel light. Let's hunt some Orc."
"YES!!!" Gimli declared and Legolas smiled.
Becky and Missy giggled as they hurried away to put on their sneakers.
"TRAVEL LIGHT?" Becky echoed, suddenly catching what Aragorn had just said. "TRAVEL LIGHT? HELLO, I need all my clothes and all my stuff. I mean there's CHOCOLATE hidden everywhere in our suitcases."
"Come Becky dear," Legolas declared, rushing to her side. "Let me help you with those many bags of yours."
"Ah yes Missy," Aragorn said, suddenly materializing by Missy. "That suitcase looks really heavy. Let me help you there."
"Oh and of course you girls, always know to count on me to help you out," Gimli smiled at them.
"Of course!" Becky and Missy grinned and piled all their suitcases onto them. "Thank you all so much! You'll get your rewards along the way!"
As they made sure that they were ready to go, a slight sound caught Legolas' ear.
"What is it?" Aragorn asked, his remaining free FINGER on his sword.
"I thought I heard someone scream," Legolas said but he listened hard again and there was silence. "Oh well. Let us go."
Everyone set off at a slow pace into the forest, as they could no longer move any faster because they were laden with suitcases.
Suddenly, a scream echoed throughout the forest and this time they ALL heard it.
"YOU IDIOTS! I'M STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*******************************************************************
"Mordor. I hope the others find a safer road," Frodo said as he and Sam stood looking at the long road to Mordor.
"Strider will look after them," Sam assured.
"I really hope he takes great care of Becky and Missy. They're so young. I'm beginning to wonder if they should have ever come with us," Frodo said, sadly.
"Oh no!" said Sam. "They seemed to have enjoyed every moment."
"Yeah," Frodo said, with a small smile. "I don't suppose we'll ever see them again. The rest of the Fellowship I mean."
"We may yet, Mr. Frodo. We may," Sam said.
"Sam." Frodo said with a smile. "I'm glad you're with me."
"Though," he went on. "I could really do with Becky and Missy here. I am like, seriously craving like, a chocolate bar."
"Like, oh my gosh! I totally forgot! They gave me a whole bagful last night!" Sam said, digging through his backpack and lo and behold he held up a huge garbage bag full of chocolate.
"THANK YOU BECKY AND MISSY!" Frodo cried to the world at large. "I love the two of you!"
"We love you guys too!" Becky and Missy mysteriously appeared right next to the Hobbits and planted kisses on their cheeks. "We'll miss you guys!"
"And by the way Frodo. DON'T FORGET what we told you about the hair, okay?" Becky said, patting Frodo on the shoulder. "You're going to look so cute and curly by the time it's done!!"
They disappeared again and Frodo and Sam just blinked.
"You know the two of them really scare me sometimes," Frodo said.
"Maybe it's where they come from. Maybe the people on Earth act like that," Sam replied.
"Earth. Must be chockfull of insane people."
