The Fellowship of the Carribean
Chapter 1: It's fun torturing Alex
A/N~ Howdy. Welcome back for another fic. I don't have an author's note for this chapter so I'll shut up now. Oh, BTW, for those just joining us, this is the 5th fic that we have written, so you might need to go back and read them. Not sure if it'll make sense either way, but at least you'll have a basic understanding.
Disclaimer:
Aragorn: We're baaaaaaaack!
Boromir: Did you miss us?
Me: Of course they did, guys. That's why they're reading this!
Aragorn & Boromir: Oh. Right.
Me: *Rolls eyes* We don't own anything, except myself, Vanessa, Courtney, Kitty, and Alex. (A little side note, I think I was sick when I wrote the beginning of this chapter and since it had no impact on anything else I cut it, so yeah.)
"OK, everyone ready?" Courtney asked from the driver's seat of her Chevy Trailblazer (I know I changed her car, Vanessa, but I like this one better.). It was the Monday after Graduation, so we were ready for summer to officially start. Vanessa and I assured her we, at least, were ready. For our summer vacation, or the beginning, at least, we taking a cruise to the Carribean! We were all set on working on our tans, and maybe finding some cute guys on board...
"Why can't we take my slugbug?!" Kitty demanded to know from the passenger's seat. (That just seemed to fit her personality- a slugbug, that is.)
"Kitty, we wouldn't fit with all of our luggage," I reminded her.
"Yeah, that's right. That's why we can't. I knew I forgot why," Kits replied. (She has the memory like that of a goldfish- 3 seconds.) "Anyhoo, yes, I have everything. Everything except for my Leggy!" she sobbed. Then she grinned, embarrassed. "Sorry about that; hormones."
Court rolled her eyes. "Let's go."
.~*~.
It was beautiful and peaceful in Lothlórien, except where the Fellowship was. Legolas was chasing the hobbits, who had decided to play keep away...with Legolas's shampoo (they ran outta real poo, ^.^). (I'm really sorry about that! I couldn't resist! I was hyper when I wrote this. That's my defense and I'm sticking to it!)
"Give that back!" Legolas screamed at the hobbits while the Men looked on and laughed.
"Give what back?" Merry asked innocently, hiding the shampoo behind his back, as he nodded to Pippin, his partner in crime. Making sure that Legolas didn't turn around, Pippin grabbed the conditioner.
"Frodo!" the youngest hobbit yelled. "Catch!"
The eldest hobbit caught the conditioner as Sam received the shampoo from Merry, and ran with it like a football. There was only one problem: he didn't see a root that jutted out of the ground, ever so little, but enough to trip someone. Frodo hit the root, running as fast as he could, stubbing his toe and flying into Gimli.
"Bloody hobbits!" he muttered before getting up and walking off. He meandered (I used a vocab word!) into Galadrial's "mirror room" by accident. He wandered over to the birdbath-looking mirror and gazed in. Unwittingly, he dropped the 3 hairs that Galadrial gave him into the water. Not knowing Galadrial's warning (Do NOT touch the water!!), he foolishly reached into the cool, clear water and retrieved his hair and instantly Lothlórien was gone! (I know, clichéd, but gimme a break, I'm tired!)
.~*~.
"Wow! This is nice!" Kitty exclaimed as we checked out her room. All of us had our own rooms as we had somehow managed to come up with a lot of money.
"Let's go check out mine!" I cried, eager to put down my luggage (I have a problem with overpacking), and see what my room looked like. As I semi- bolted out of the room, I ran smack into Alex!
"Alex! What are you doing here?!" I yelped as he helped me off the floor.
"I'm going to go explore the ship."
I raised my eyebrow; Alex exploring? Yeah, right. With how much that boy likes to eat, I doubted it.
"OK! I'll tell you. I'm looking for the food places! (Do they have restaurants on ships or are they called something else?) But since I found you --"
"Correction- 'y'all'", I told him.
"- Y'all, I'll help you find your rooms," he informed me.
"Before you go ransack the kitchens," I finished for him. "Kitty'll help you there. She's got cravings up the wazoo! Court! Your room's right here." Her room was next to Kitty's.
"Found ours, Christy!" Vanessa said. Vanessa's was across from Kitty's and next to mine, which was across from Courtney's. (So, essentially, Kitty's room is next to Courtney's, whose is across the hall from mine and mine is next to Vanessa's. Vanessa's is, therefore, across from Kitty's. Basically, we're all right next to each other. I confused Vanessa, so I'm trying to correct that.)
"Cool," Alex commented as I unlocked my door.
"What's so cool?" Courtney asked.
"I'm y'all's neighbor. Howdy, neighbor," he said as he high-fived me.
"What do you mean?" I asked, praying that he meant only that he was on the same deck, or, at the very least, on the other side of Vanessa or Kitty. Heck, he could even be next to Court, just please, not next to me.
"That's my room." He pointed to the one next to mine, as my worst fear was confirmed. "Now I can hang out with the four of you!"
"Great!" I rolled my eyes. I mean, don't get me wrong, he's one of my friends, but having him 'live' next to me...I dunno.
"Great!" He rolled his eyes as well, mocking me. Then he playfully hit me and I hit back, which led to one of the little fights we constantly get into. (We got so bad my second-to-last day of school, I think it was, that our English teacher yelled at us to 'stop acting like children' b/c we were driving her nuts! Hehehe!)
"Oww!" he yelped as I dug in my nails, in response to his attempt to do the same to me. Yeah, right, his little nails hurt me? (I have really long nails, BTW)
"Give up?" I asked.
"Yes!" he said after about 5 minutes of pain.
"I win! Yea!"
"Let's go get some food!" Kitty interrupted my victory celebration.
"Sounds good to me," Vanessa agreed.
.~*~.
"Now what do you want to do?" Alex asked. We were all hanging out in Vanessa's room. I looked at Kitty and mouthed, "Should I?" and she nodded in response.
"We're gonna watch LotR!" I answered and watched the happy look on his face fade.
"You're joking, right?" he inquired.
"Nope," Courtney joined in.
I guess I should explain something really quick. Alex has this strange affliction which causes him to be abnormal. His disease is that he will not read or watch LotR. He even rolls his eyes and scoffs when you mention it, and also made fun of my LotR soundtracks! I know! He needs help!
He tried to get up and run, but Courtney, Vanessa, and Kitty forced him down into a chair, while I turned on the DVD.
.~*~.
Midway through (We were on the Council of Elrond), we heard familiar voices in the hall.
"What new devilry is this?! Where are we?!" one voice demanded.
"I know not, but however we got here, I didn't do it!" a gruff voice returned.
"That was Pincushion Boi and Gim-Gim!" Vanessa cried, and the three girls released their grips on Alex, who immediately attempted to run again.
"Ah! I'm surrounded!" he cried as he opened the door to face the Fellowship. "First they force me to watch that movie and now there's LotR (I didn't feel like typing it out) wannabes in the hall!"
Legolas was the first to look in the room and see us. He promptly shoved Alex outta the way and ran to Kitty.
"Kitty!" Leggo cried and swept her into his arms and kissed her hard. He suddenly seemed to remember that she was with child and loosed his grip. "How's the baby?"
"The baby's fine, honey, and so am I," she replied.
"That's good." He kissed her again.
By the time this exchange had happened the other guys had figured out that we were there too.
"Christy!!" Merry cried, dropping the conditioner bottle he had received from Frodo and tackled me.
"Hi," I greeted him, well as much as I able to as he kissed me.
"Aragorn!!" Vanessa shouted and jumped into his arms.
"Umm...Vanessa...honey...do you think you could loosen your grip? I can't breathe," Strider gasped.
Pippin and Courtney skipped words and went straight to kissing, him still holding the shampoo bottle.
"Great! Now I'm stuck with these weirdoes!" Alex muttered, but, of course, Elvish hearing picked it up.
With lightning quick reflexes, Legolas had an arrow nocked and trained on him. "What did you say, foolish mortal?"
"Oh, God. I'm dead now!" Alex thought as Kitty intervened.
"Legolas, honey, this is our friend, Alex. You may not shoot him," she said.
"Why not?" Leggy pouted.
"Oh, snap out of it!" Kits demanded and he did.
"Boy, is he whipped!" I thought and attempted to smile as I kissed my husband once more.
.~*~.
After Alex got used to the fact that the Fellowship was here to stay (Temporarily) and introductions took place, we had to decide room placements.
"Since Kitty and Legolas are married, they should get they're own room. Christy and Merry too. Vanessa and I can share her room, and the guys can divide themselves," Courtney said and I made a mental note to thank her.
"Umm...don't you only have one room left?" Alex asked.
"Alex...buddy..." Vanessa pleaded. "Would you mind sharing your room with 3 guys?" Please?"
"NO!"
"Alex, pwease? For me?" I asked. He shook his head. "Hey! You owe me!" I suddenly turned serious. "I did your French homework for you!" (The funny part about that is, I took Spanish, so I would have had no clue what I was writing without the translations. I could have been writing 'I am the Great and Powerful Oz!' for all I woulda known! ^.^)
"OK, fine," he grudgingly gave in.
"Alright, so who's with who?" Vanessa asked the guys, wondering whom she'd have to bribe to get some 'alone time' with Aragorn.
"Boromir, Pippin, Alex, and myself will 'room' together and Frodo, Sam, Gimli, and Mithrandir will have the other room," Aragorn answered.
"OK, now that that's settled, who's up for some pickles and ice cream?" Kitty asked.
We all just groaned. "More cravings." Legolas rolled his eyes.
A/N~ Sorry for the sucky ending, but deal wid it! Also sorry for the length, I went to San Antonio with it and there was traffic. This is what I did the whole time. Also I have so much fun torturing Alex! Even if he doesn't know he's being tortured! Hehehe! OMG! It took me sooo long to type this. I just didn't have the energy and I've been watching Stargate more than anything else lately. Also, I've been re-grounded from the net, so I don't know when this'll get to you. I believe August 19th is the correct date that you will cuz I'm gonna have 'homework' on the Internet. ^.^ Hehehe! I'm so devious, it's fun!
