*** Ok. Reminder, this is not J.R.R. Tolkien's true work. It's just a rendition of his stuff. They are his characters (except for a few) and so, he takes credit- although they probably sound really out of character. Enjoy! Oh! Review, if you want, but I doubt it...****

Pushing past the men, the girls followed the girlish voice that was determined to be saying "Hey Guys!".

They came to an open room with a single ray of light shining down upon a coffin that was centered around several skeletons. The owner of the voice sat brazenly, staring towards the doorway with wide blue eyes as the girls entered. The stranger's hair was reasonably short (but not as short as Emily's) and was dark blond. She wore a gray Cherokee sweater, white pinstriped blue jeans, and blue running shoes. As she gazed at the newcomers, there was a sudden rush of movement and air.

"Jennifer!", came a scream from both Giblet and Laura-Mae.

"GUYS!", came the reply.

Soon all the group arrived and found the girls surrounding the newcomer, eagerly asking questions none of which, the men could comprehend as they were said and answered so fast. Gandalf made a quick murmur to Gimli saying what sounded like "Do they ever shut up?"

As Legolas walked into the room, the dark blond haired female screamed and began to claw through the company to get to him. Being apprehensive due to Emily, Legolas screamed in return and ran for shelter behind Aragorn, who caught the girl and held her.

Jen, enjoying Aragorn restraining her entirely too much, began to feel up his arms. Aragorn gave a yell of humiliation and threw the girl to the floor. He looked towards the company for help and found them snickering at him, including the tormented Legolas.

"Let me guess, another one to add to the fellowship?", he asked both Laura and Renee simultaneously.

Laura turned to Jennifer and said :

"I don't know. Jen, are you coming with us?"

"Is that one coming too?", Jen replied pointing to Legolas, who was now looking panicked even more than what was becoming the usual.

Emily appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Jennifer, whispering darkly "Keep your hands to yourself. He's mine!"

Aragorn, once again resorting to swearing, but this time with a more expanded vocabulary compliments of definitions from Giblet, finally noticed his surroundings and asked Gandalf where they were. Before he could answer, however, Gimli ran towards the coffin and moaned in disbelief as he read the heading. Gandalf walked forward and read to them the inscription- "Here lies Balin, Lord of Moria".

The girls crowded a back wall, resting casually against the cold stones, and talked quietly amongst themselves. They looked up only for a moment when the crashing sound of Pippin knocking the skeleton into the well echoed throughout the tunnels. Although a drum soon sounded, and it was announced that there were orcs about, the girls did not prepare for battle. They still rested casually at the back, lost in conversation, although they now spoke louder to compete with the overpowering sound of drums. Soon the battle began and orcs appeared through the barred doors. Once the orcs got through the door, the rest of the company broke into a full-fledged fight.

The girls looked up once or twice to view the damage but continued the conversation as though nothing was happening. It appeared that Jennifer was a form of shield towards them and both trolls and orcs avoided them at all costs. Soon after what felt like a very short time, there came a shout to leave.

The girls grudgingly marched and ran forwards with the others, although it was only because they knew what was coming. The group only stopped inside the churchlike columns and drew their weapons at what was one of the largest groups of goblins surrounding them. Everyone held their breath as the goblins grew bolder and crept forward baring teeth and weapons in a war- like fashion.

Soon there was a noise, an echoing growl and light of fire gently illuminated the far end of the cathedral-like tunnel. The goblins paused for only a moment, then shrieked and fled as quickly as they arrived. The company of Men, Elf, Dwarf, Wizard, and Hobbits quickly turned to the glowing distance, silently questioning Gandalf as to what could scare away such a group of Goblins.

Gandalf bent his head as if trying to sense what it was. Meanwhile, the girls slowly crept towards the passageway that they knew the group would be taking and listened to Gandalf tell the group loudly to run because it was a Balrog. The girls broke into an all-out run and led the male group into the correct route towards the other exit. They jumped over the air gap on the stairwell and ran the rest of the way to get out of everyone's way.

They stopped and turned and watched Legolas easily jump the gap. Next came Gandalf and then Boromir with Merry and Pippin and then Aragorn shouting "Here comes Sam!" and they watched the flying Sam hurl through the air onto the other edge. They watched as Gimli jumped and was held onto by his beard and the girls laughed. The piece of rock that Frodo and Aragorn remained on cracked and the girls became a cheering section much envied by stadiums back home as their voices echoed everywhere.

"Throw him!", screamed Laura to Aragorn, sounding nervous.

"You'll both get lucky tonight!", screamed Jennifer.

The rock tilted and Frodo and Aragorn fell into the awaiting outstretched arms. The men recomposed themselves and once again followed the girls to the bridge. Once they had safely crossed, the girls once again stopped and turned to watch the rest of the company follow their lead. They watched gravely as Gandalf took on the Balrog single-handedly. Sighing as they watched Frodo and everyone cry over Gandalf as he fell into shadow, the girls ran the stairs, not wanting to be hit by the oncoming arrows of Goblins.

Once everyone was outside, the girls sat on a large rock and spoke quietly, as though to give peace to the company.

Aragorn, though mourning the loss of Gandalf, quickly took charge and urged everyone to ready themselves for travel. After his yelling fits with Boromir and Frodo, he marched over to the 6 girls who sat unspeaking (for once) and surveyed them.

"I ask but one question," he began quietly, " why did you not need to fight back there?"

All eyes turned to Jennifer, for, she was the answer to that riddle. Aragorn particularly threw intense looks at her, as though demanding she answer the question immediately and carefully.

"I... Well... see... I was in the dark... and I ran into a creature. It was big. I mean, I didn't know what it was, but it was tall, and well...", Jen began and trailed off.

"Spit it out!", yelled Giblet. "You're going to eventually tell them anyways."

Jennifer gave a heavy sigh and mumbled :

"I felt up something. I think it was a troll. Or a Goblin. I don't know."

Aragorn and Boromir looked at each other and quickly rolled their eyes as though saying

"What did we do to deserve this?"

Merry nudged Pippin through damp eyes and they both looked at Jen with tear stained faces, a questioning look in their faces.

Jen sighed and looked away from the two hobbits because she thought she knew what was going on in their minds.

Aragorn sighed and decided to change the topic. He ordered them all to get up and began to lead them through the rocky tresses. They traveled awhile, but were so wearied by the loss of Gandalf that they soon stopped in the beginning traces of a forest. They sat around the campfire in silence until Renee and Giblet both screamed out a piercingly high rendition of "Found a Peanut". The other's joined in and soon they had taught the males a few songs such as "the other day" and "Hi, my name is Joe".

All slept poorly that night and it wasn't long before they were moving the next morning.-

Ok... here's where a few things go screwy. The whole Lothlorien scene is not here- except for a small interlude—because we didn't have the time to finish it... so... from here, it will jump to the interlude.... Ok? Kthanksbai!
