Everyone collapsed into a heap with a *BANG*. "I think I broke something," complained Merry.

Everyone groaned. "Why do we always have to quote scenes from the movie?" Aragorn muttered. "Where are we, anyways?"

"We have just passed into the land of Los Angeles." Came Gandalf's response.

Looking around, Sam said, "Well...it's, um, certainly different from Middle Earth"

They all stood up and stared in disbelief. Cars roared past at high speeds and trash was strewn across the sidewalks and streets. And everywhere, everywhere there were people walking, talking, running, eating. It certainly was different from Middle-Earth.

"What now?" asked Gimli, who was trying to conceal his axe. Weapons like that were not a good item to be wielding in a place like this.

"Well I suppose now we should find shelter, and then perhaps some food," answered Gandalf, who seemed to know the answer to everything. Well, he was, after all, a Maia. The Middle-Earth members went trudging down the street with nervous, excited, and curious looks on the faces of all. They had barely walked a block when a shrill, high-pitched scream echoed throughout the streets. "LEGOLASSSSSSSSSSS!" screamed about a million fan girls, who all tackled the poor Elf, struggling to get at him.

Gimli pulled out his hidden axe and ran to help his friend in need. "EVERYBODY STAND BACK! I HAVE AN AXE AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT!" he shouted. The fan girls paid no heed to the Dwarf, and kept wrestling each other for a better position in the ever-growing pile.

Gandalf went to stand in front of the never-ending line of girls and women running to join the others. Pulling himself up to a great height, he bellowed, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" The members of the Fellowship had a pained look on their faces, and some of them said things like, "Not again!" and, "we must be cursed to repeat these lines forever!", for indeed, Gandalf had used a line from the movie. But the fan girls stopped and backed away, keeping watchful eyes on the wizard. All of the girls in the pile quickly rose up and dashed off. Then someone spotted Aragorn. As the girls tried to bring him down, Frodo couldn't help thinking that it was going to be a long night.

Merry and Pippin were jumping on their soft hotel beds. Sam was inspecting the garden, and Frodo was sitting in his room, stroking the Ring. Yes, the Ring had not been destroyed, nor had Gollum, Sauron, the Witch King or anybody died. Actually, Sauron should still have the Ring, but Frodo was reluctant to give it back, and most figured it was for the better.
On the balcony to their room (the group had taken up a whole floor of the spacious hotel), stood Aragorn and Arwen, attempting to see the stars, but, because of all the light, they weren't successful. The last anyone saw Faramir and Eowyn, they had said something about testing out the hotel bed, if you get my drift. Gimli, of course, was scouting the area for any caves, but the closest he found to a cave was the subway. Legolas decided to stay inside after the horrid experience with all those girls. Sauron had immediately blown up some walls so that there was enough space for his orcs. He was now busy making plans for conquering Los Angeles.

"Merry, I'm hungry!" Pippin whined.

Merry whacked Pippin with a pillow and giggling, said, "You're always hungry, Pip. But I am hungry as well. Let's go find Gandalf and see what his plans are for getting some food." The two hobbits dashed off to the main room (another room that Sauron had so kindly made larger) in search of the wizard.
