YES!!! IT IS BACK AT LAST!!!!!! Please R+R!!!

Chapter 1 - Synopses, cat fights and earthquakes in sports bags

The adventure begins as the last one ended. The Thing of Power, made by Moron in Mt. Waterflume, had come to Clodo Leggings of the Mire. She, under the advice (and threats) of Kandalf, set off to Riverstour with her companions: Jam, Ferry and Alippin. Fobbits are usually very lazy beings, and know few people, so Clodo really got to see the world, and meet new people.

It's a pity most of them were trying to kill her.

They had many adventures along the way, including Clodo getting a paper cut and being attacked by the Tweenies.

At Riverstour the Sleepover of El Rondo was held, and it was decided that Clodo would attempt to take Thing to Bordor, and destroy it. Chosen to go with her were: Begorn, Izzybore's heir, who was the bearer of Clearasil; Kandalf the witch; Legless the boff from Berkwood; Giblet the bitch; Tiramisu heir to the Stewardship of Fondue; and Jam, Ferry and Alippin tagged along.

After attempting to pass through the Gap of Terry Wogan and over Escalas, they were forced to go through the Toilets of Toria. There, after being ambushed by Urks, they were attacked by the Juvrog. While banishing it, Kandalf fell into a U-bend.

They continued on their quest, after a brief stop at Lothloreal. After travelling down the river, Tiramisu tried to take the Thing from Clodo. But they were set upon by Urks - Clodo and Jam got away, Tiramisu was shot by her own arrow and Ferry and Alippin were captured by Urks. Waddler, Legless and Giblet set off after them, to attempt to rescue them. Don't ask me why.

Ferry and Alippin woke up in one of the urk's sports bags. It smelt like something had died in there which, Ferry thought, may soon be the case. By the way the bag was shaking, they were either running or there was an earthquake.

"AAAAAAH," screamed Ferry, "It's an earthquake!"

"Cool," said Alippin. Ferry continued to scream continuously for about an hour, until an Urk hit the bag.

"Shut UP!" it said.

"Why? It's an earthquake," said Ferry.

"No it's not! We're simply taking you to Sarumeanie."

"Why?"

"So that he can torture you."

"Why?"

"So that you will give him the Thing of Power."

"Why?"

"Because he wants it."

"Why?"

"..... Because he does."

"But we don't have the Thing of Powuuurk." Ferry fell asleep, and Alippin was glad that Jam had taught her the sleeper hold.

"What was that? Are you OK?" asked the Urk.

"Cool!" called out Alippin.

"Good - Sarumeanie said that we had to get you there alive," said the Urk.

"Hmmmm," said Ferry who had just woken up, "That gives me an idea..."

Meanwhile, Begorn, Legless and Giblet were trekking across the countryside after the Urks. The clues which they followed were scarce, and Begorn's skill was greatly needed. Only he could have interpreted the signs saying 'Diehard, Sarumeanie's residence, This Way', and the mass of urk footprints. But the Pringles were running low, as were endurance levels.

"Why do we have to do this?" grumbled Giblet, "I never liked them that much anyway."

"Stop complaining jerk," said Legless.

"Twit."

"Halitosis."

"Poser."

"Midget."

"Daddy-Long-Legs."

"Shut UP!" said Begorn, wishing that Kandalf was still there; at least she could have a conversation without picking fights. "We have to do this cos we're the good guys. They're the bad guys."

"Who - Ferry and Alippin?" said Giblet.

"No, the URKS, no brain," said Legless.

"Brainbox."

"Troll."

"Pretty boy."

"Shut UP!" said Begorn, "Lets just keep going." The continued along the path. They had been tracking Ferry and Alippin for days now, and they still could not see the urks. But Begorn had forgotten his glasses, so maybe that's why.

Suddenly some people on hobbyhorses came into his line of vision. They were about a mile ahead of them, and heading straight towards them.

"Who are they?" asked Legless.

"Oooooh, smartypants doesn't know something?" smirked Giblet, "I'm SHOCKED."

"SHUT UP!" said Legless, "At least I have a brain!"

This developed into a massive cat fight between the two of them, with much hair pulling.

"Bitch!"

"Boff!"

"Heathen!"

"Tree hugger!"

"Loser!"

"Jerk!"

Meanwhile, Begorn watched the Riders draw nearer.
