The next day, eveybody was awoken by Hama calling that the townspeople were to leave Edoras and seek refugee in Helms Deep. Aragorn came and woek the girls, waited for them to get dressed, and took them out to the stables.
"These are for you. He handed Kammie and Olla an archery set each, Beth and Ivy both got swords (and shealths). "Keep them by your sides at all times. The road to Helms Deep is very vaunerable to attacks. Keep a sharp eye." He then called four horses for them. "These are for you as well."
"Thank-you." The girls replied.
"These gifts do not come from me, but I shall thank Theoden for you. Now, would like you to ride ahead. Go now, before it is too late." Aragorn dissappeared beyond their site.
"Well, we should go." Olla said. The four of them mounted, and rode off into the plains. After hours of riding, they dismounted, offering the horses to the elderly and children. They walked in silence for a little bit, when Ivy leaned over to the others.
"We should sing. It woudl raise everybody's spirits, and pass some time."
"That's a good idea." Beth replied. "How about I'm Gonna Be?"
"Sounds good." The other two agreed with that, the group burst into song.
"When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm working yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man whose lonely without you
When I'm dreaming yes I know I'm gonna dream
Dream about the time when I'm with you."
They got some weird looks, but they didn't care. Soon after that, the travellers stopped for the night.
