Flames will be used to burn my father at the stake :-D

This chapter should be good because I wrote it eating french fries with a fork in a bowl. (of course with ketchup...)

Thank you ainu lote, for the, um, "detailed" review.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So, where do they go next in the movie?" Jack asked. He was beginning to look more and more like Steph's sweetheart, Eomer, hottie # three. (don't ask...)

"Um, well, I'm not going into the mines of Moria,...and even though we have bad luck with elves, I think we should go to Mirkwood."

"Ok." And then there was an awkward silence between the two.

"So...who am I again?"

"If you ask me again..."

"What? Whatcha gonna do? Bring it, jock"

"You're the one with the crooked toes!"

"Oh, you've done it now...Bring it shorty!" And he look at her in a weird way, considering he was at least a foot taller than her.

"What?"

"Huh?"

"What was that look for?"

"What look?"

"You gave me the fish eye."

"The fish eye?"

"Yes."

"Well then, I just won't look at you anymore." With this he turned the other way and said, "To Mirkwood!"

She planned her revenge all the way there. Not a word was spoken to the other except what was necessary.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After that night, Jack forgot he "wasn't looking at her" and started to try to get a conversation going.

"So, what's up?"

"Ring wraths." He looked up suddenly and she snickered.

"Ok. Well, what do you want to talk about?"

"Look Jack, I just wanted to tell you, I have a crush on you. In fact, I have had one for a while now. I don't know how you feel about it, but try to understand. Please. Don't break my heart."

"Really?"

"Yes. And gullible is written on the sky." Jack mumbled quietly to himself. When they reached a great woody area, he pulled out a map and said, "I think this is it."
