After Sam's dinner, Peter opened up the refridgerator and pulled out a large bottle. He set it on the table and unscrewed the lid. Pippin and Merry watched as he pulled out a cup and poured out the yellow liquid. He put the glass to his lips and drank the whole thing, not pausing for air. He set the glass down and sighed, refreshed.
"What's Mountain Dew?" Pippin asked, reading the side of the bottle.
Peter's mouth dropped open. "You have not experienced the joy of the Dew?!"
"No..." Merry said.
A clattering sound came from the doorway to the kitchen. The three turned and saw Bryan standing there, the Game Boy he was holding laying on the ground.
"We. Must. Educate them!!!" Bryan exclaimed.
Peter quickly pulled out three more glasses, and Bryan cleared his throat.
"The History of Mountain Dew," Bryan started. "Mountain Dew is a product of the Coca-Cola Company, all rights reserved. Mountain Dew came out in the late 80's or early 90's, if I'm not mistaken. Many loved it, especially teenagers like myself. They have shortened it to the Dew. Other companies have tried to mimick Mountain Dew, including Mt. Lightning. But sometimes, the original is just better. So...just Dew it."
Peter had already poured the drinks. "To the Dew!"
"To the Dew!" Merry, Pippin and Bryan echoed.
FIVE MINUTES LATER...
"Frodo!!!" Merry shouted, running into the living room. "Frodo!!!"
Frodo got up from his seat next to Ashley and came over to him. "What is it Merry?"
"The Dew," Merry said.
"The what?"
"Mountain Dew. You have GOT to try it!"
"I don't think so, Merry. Remember what happened LAST time you had me try a drink?"
"Maybe that was a little too strong for you. But forget that! This is better!"
"I don't think so," Frodo said, sitting back down.
Merry shrugged. "Okay. More for us."
Frodo, Aragorn and Legolas were watching Tippy and Tracy, who were hard at work setting up some kind of game.
"What are you doing?" Aragorn asked. (Lisa had hardly left him all day.)
"Setting up Pump it Up," Tippy replied.
Legolas and Aragorn looked at each other.
"What?" Legolas asked.
"It's a dancing game. Just watch," Tracy replied.
The dance pads were set up, and the two girls stood. The screen flickered on with bright colors and fast music.
"You know, I didn't think they had Pump it Up for PS2," Ashley said from her place next to Frodo.
Tip and Tracy looked at each other, and said in unison, "Plot device."
The screen changed to another, and singing in another language sounded.
"Ooh! That one!" Tracy exclaimed, pointing at the screen.
"We always do that song!" Tippy yelled. "Let's do 'Beethoven Virus.'"
"Fine!" Tracy sighed.
Boromir entered, raising an eyebrow at the screen. Out of their own curiosity, Legolas, Boromir and Aragorn moved to sit closer to the TV. Symbols came scrolling up with catchy pop music playing in the background. The symbols were arrows and a circular shape. The two men and the Elf watched as the symbols came to the top, where an outline of the shape was. They would meet, hopefully in time to Tip and Tracy's movement, light up, and display either "Good," "Perfect," "Bad," or "Miss." Tracy seemed to be getting more misses and bads than Tippy.
The song ended and displayed an evaluation chart. Tippy received an A+ while Tracy got an F.
Tracy sighed. "That song's too fast! It's not fair! Coelti has DDR and you're ALWAYS at her house!"
Tippy laughed evilly. Tracy turned to Legolas.
"Do you want to try?" she asked.
"Umm...I don't think so," Legolas shook his head.
"Pleeeease?!" Tracy begged.
"Don't worry Legolas," Tippy smirked. "She's as bad as they come. You'll be able to beat her in NO time."
Tracy glared at Tippy. " "It's easy," is what she's trying to say."
She pulled Legolas to his feet. "C'mon! I'll show you."
"THIS will be interesting," Ashley grinned. "Right Frodo?"
Frodo smiled. "That's right, Ashley."
Tracy quickly explained the rules, Legolas nodding the whole time.
"Okay?" she asked.
Legolas nodded again. "All right."
"You got it?" Tracy asked hopefully.
"No," Legolas replied.
"Well, it's easy to follow along," Tracy answered. "Let's start."
Tracy quickly chose a song, suspiciously entitled "I Love You."
Legolas glanced at her. "What are you hinting at?"
Tracy arched an eyebrow. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
The song started, and Aragorn immeadiately started laughing hystarically. Lisa and Boromir started laughing to, but Frodo and Ashley just grinned modestly. Gimli and Ben strode in, and each raised an eyebrow in confusion. Then, slowly, both started laughing. The song was soon over, Tracy receiving an A, and Legolas...a D.
"You lost to a girl!" Aragorn laughed.
Legolas glared. "All right, your majesty. You and Lisa can be next."
Aragorn's face turned pale. "What?"
Lisa leapt to her feet. "This is gonna be like...DANCING WITH ARAGORN!!!"
She grabbed Aragorn by the arm and yanked him over to the PS2 game. Ironically, she chose the song "Till the End of Time." Legolas laughed, causing Aragorn to whirl around and glare at him.
"Your game has started, Estel," Legolas grinned, pointing to the screen.
Aragorn whirled back around, seeing that he had already missed 5 steps. He quickly caught up, ignoring the laughter in the back. Lisa beat him in no time. Aragorn turned around to see Ben and Gimli literally rolling on the floor with laughter, and Boromir and Legolas struggling to stay standing from laughter.
"Amateurs," a voice said. *Get ready for ultimate insanity!*
Everyone looked to the back of the room to see Gandalf standing there, shaking his head.
"What?" Brittney asked. "Where'd you come from?"
Lisa glanced over at her. "I could ask you the same question."
"Do you honestly think that you-?" Gimli began.
"I'll take him on," Tippy interrupted.
Gandalf handed Brittney his staff and she looked at it, plotting. Gandalf came over to the TV screen. Tippy smirked arrogantly and chose one of the hardest songs. It was the song from earlier: "Beethoven Virus." Tippy and Gandalf began the round. Tippy was quite sure of herself, but she glanced over at Gandalf's side of the screen to see that he was getting all perfects! She panicked and started missing easy steps. Gandalf beat her in no time.
At the same time, caffinated Peter, Bryan, Merry and Pippin came running in with the Dew.
"What's going on?" Dajotre asked, he and Sam entering the room.
"Stand back!" Bryan shouted, pointing a bottle at Dajotre.
Dajotre stared at the bottlecap. "A bottle of the Dew?"
Bryan pulled in back and shook it up as hard as he could. The kids eyes widened with fear.
"Bryan," Brittney said slowly. "Put. The bottle. Down."
His eyes gleamed with evil as he continued to shake it.
"Don't do it, man!" Ben shouted.
Bryan put his fingers on the cap as the kids protested. He unscrewed the lid, sending Mountain Dew everywhere. At the same exact moment, the door opened. Two figures stood in the doorway, confused and horrified. The Mountain Dew stopped spraying, but the walls, furniture and residents of the house were covered in it.
"Do we have the right place?" one asked.
Bryan's mouth dropped open. "A--Ar--ARWEN!!!"
