Disclaimer: Don't own Lord of the rings which I've mentioned 14 other times!

AN: Yay! I'm glad ya'll like the other chapter! I felt very proud of it! This might be the second to last chapter in this story. * Nodding head sadly * I know. But I have two ideas for the sequel and I'm not sure which one I want to go with. So right now the ending of this story is a big mystery to me b/c I'm not sure which sequel I should go with. The ending has a lot to do with both stories. So while I ponder this, here is the next chapter. And as usual the credits are at the bottom! ^-^!

Chapter 15: "Two more surprises."

"And please, PLEASE, don't do anything that will either get us kicked out and/or arrested!" Lauren begged as she put on her shoes. She was the last one to leave for work and they were letting the guys stay in the apartment by themselves.

"We wont." They said, as if they were little kids.

"Thank you. We should start getting home around 5." She said and put on her jean jacket. She lifted her blonde hair out of the inside of it. They all nodded.

"All right. See you guys later." She said smiling and walked out.

"So...what do you want to do?" Pippin asked.

"I guess watch TV." Frodo said. They started to watch their favorite show. Maury:

"Maury, I can't take this anymore. I need to confess my love to my roommate, Angela." A skinny guy with glasses said.

"How long have you been feeling this way?" Maury asked.

"For about a year. I really think that we are meant for each other." The guy said.

"Well ok. Let's bring out Angela." Maury said. A girl with curly black hair and super model looks walks out. The crowd claps.

"Ok. Gary. Tell Angela." Maury said.

"Angela. We've known each other for about 5 years and for the last year I've been having trouble telling you something......I'm in love with you." Gary said. Angela smiled.

"Oh Gary! I'm in love with you to!" she said. They embrace.

Frodo studied this very intently. He had an idea. Then the front door opened and Lauren came in looking flustered.

"Forgot my folders." She said and rushed to her room. Frodo got up and waited for her. The guys looked at him quizzically. She came out and Frodo stood in front of her.

"Yes." She said. Frodo took a deep breath.

"I need to tell you something Lauren." He said. She looked at him as if waiting.

"ok. What is it. Hurry up I'm running late." She said.

He got down on one knee and held her hand. "For the past 5 years I've been having these feelings for you and we've known each over for a year. And I've been having trouble telling you. I'm in love with you." he said screwing up the lines.

She looked at him as if he were crazy. "Uhhh..." she said speechless. The guys looked as if they were about to crack up. She then looked at the TV where they were showing reruns from what had happened earlier. She then frowned.

"I don't have time for this." She said and started to walk toward the door.

"Wait....let me show you." he said, using lines from a soap opera he had watched a while back. He then stood up and dipped her. He planted his lips on hers. It was hard to tell the expression on her face.. He pulled away and pulled her back up.

She looked at him. "Frodo. Do me a favor. Stop watching so much TV." She said and walked out. The guys started to laugh hysterically.

"I thought she enjoyed it." He said frowning.

"What would make you think that?" Merry asked.

"Well considering the fact that she was kissing me back." He said and sat back down. ( this scene was dedicated for Meregrin! Hope you liked it! They finally hooked up! As I promised they would! ^-^!)

**************************************************************************** *****

"Pour water on it! Pour water on it!" Sam yelled. The kitchen was slowly filling up with smoke. The guys had tried to do a pizza in the oven. But, they had forgotten to take the plastic off and it slowly started to catch fire.

Legolas took a glass of water and poured it over. The just caused a puff of smoke to occur and the fire continued. They heard the front door open.

"I'm hom... * Cough * What's going on?" a voice called out. Jihan came inside the kitchen. Her eyes wide.

"What on Earth!" she exclaimed.

"We were hungry." Pippin said innocently.

"But what did you do! Didn't you take off the wrapper?" she said grabbing a dishtowel. She started to pat the fire out with it. Then the front door opened again.

"What the hell! What's happening?" Trinity said. She entered the kitchen. Her eyes widened. "Oh my god!" she exclaimed.

Pippin turned to her. "We were hungry." He said once again, as if that were the most obvious answer.

"So you try to burn down the kitchen?!" Trinity said.

"Look let's just focus on putting out the fire because I really don't want to hear Jo's voice." Aragorn said. That was something they all agreed on.

**************************************************************************** *****

"Sauron!" Gandalf yelled as he entered the tower with Gimli at his side. Saruman turned around and smiled.

"Gandalf. Gimli. I was expecting you." he said.

"Where have you taken the hobbits, Aragorn and Legolas!" he demanded.

Sauron laughed. "You will never find them here. Nor in any other place in Middle Earth!" he said.

"What do you mean!" Gimli growled.

"Well those imbeciles walked right into one of my traps. So now they are somewhere where you cant find them." he said and started to laugh. Gandalf's eyes flared up. The room turned dark. He started to chant in a dark language. Saruman stared wide-eyed.

"No one dare speak that language on my lands!" Saruman said.

"I would have not spoken it if you would have answered my question." Gandalf said. Saruman looked around. Then stared threatingly at Gandalf and Gimli. He thrust a finger toward the direction of his globe. Gandalf and Gimli looked at each other. Deciding whether or not to go look at it. Gandalf nodded and they walked slowly toward it.

It was, at that moment, black. But as they drew nearer or rather as Gandalf drew nearer to turn illuminate a play yellow color. Once they stopped in front of it, the yellow light accentuated. Then the lights swirled around it and then an image appeared. Small at first, so Gimli and Gandalf strained to see it. Then as the image got larger Frodo appeared. Along with the rest of them. They were laughing and having a good time.

"Who are these women?" Gimli demanded.

"Why those are the love interests of your friends." Saruman said a bit of a smirk spreading over his lips.

"Love interests? From where! They do not look as if they are from these places." Gimli said.

"Why, I thought dwarves were dumb! Well spotted little fellow!" Saruman said humorously. Gimli clutched his ax and started to come toward him but Gandalf held him back.

"Where are they from?" Gandalf said patiently.

"New York City. In the future." Saruman said. They stared wide-eyed at him.

"In the future?!" Gimli said. "How are we supposed to get to them?" Gimli said. Gandalf thought a moment and found the answer.

"I know how. Follow me." He said and started to walk off.

"I wish you luck on trying to find them." Saruman called.

**************************************************************************** *****

"Whew. We still have 5 minutes before Jo gets home." Lauren said. She and Marley had come home to find the apartment starting to fill up with smoke.

"The kitchen looks normal right?" Jihan said studying it.

"Yeah. Maybe if she doesn't open the oven for a couple of years she wont notice the burn marks all over it." Marley said.

"What burn marks?" a voice asked. They all froze and slowly turned around. They smiled. "We were hungry." Pippin said. Alarm started to spread over Jo's face.

"What did you do!" she exclaimed.

"Ok. Don't get mad! But the guys got hungry..." Lauren said.

"And the only thing that was available in the kitchen..." Jihan said.

"Was this." Marley said lifting the burnt pizza from the garbage can.

"That's all. They burned a pizza? Man I thought it was something worse." She said and started laughing. They laughed nervously with her.

"Of course it wasn't something worse!" Trinity said.

"Yeah. We didn't do anything to your kitchen!" Pippin said nodding. Marley knew where this was going. He was bound to blabber something out. She covered his mouth.

"Heh. Um Pippin why don't you come and watch some TV with me." She said and dragged him out of the kitchen. The other followed except Aragorn. Jo sighed and took a glass from the cabinet. She opened the refrigerator. She poured herself some orange juice. She leaned against the counter and noticed Aragorn looking at her.

"What." She said.

"You look nice today." He said.

"Thank you." she said and looked away.

"Jo..." he started.

"No. Just...don't start." She said and walked out of the kitchen. Aragorn groaned and pounded his fist against the counter.

Trinity looked pale. She felt sick. She had been feeling this way for a couple of days now. Her stomach was getting upset.

"Trin. You look sick." Marley said noticing Trinity sway side to side.

"I know. I think I came down with something in Aspen." She said putting her hand to her forehead. Then she clutched her mouth and ran to the bathroom.

"Must have been something she ate." Merry said.

"Looks like Lizzy's working late again." Jihan said looking at the clock. It was 7:34.

"Poor girl. She works soo hard but ends up with a boring, low paying job." Marley said.

**************************************************************************** *****

"I want a cookie! I want a cookie!" the little girl chanted.

"Ok sweet heart. Here are the cookies." Lizzy said holding up a basket of cookies.

The little girl chose one, but accidentally dropped it. She started to cry.

"Uh oh. Here's another one." Lizzy said handing her another cookie.

"I don't want that cookie." The little girl cried and slapped it out of her hand.

"It was the same cook....never mind. Here's another one." Lizzy said and held another one up.

"I don't want that one either." She cried and slapped that one to out of her hand. Lizzy took a deep breath.

"Sydney. Be good. Now you take the cookie that young nice lady offers you." the girls mother said. The little girl was going to protest but decided against it.

Lizzy held up another cookie. 'If she knocks this one out of my hand...' Lizzy thought.

"Thank you." she said and hopped away with her mom.

Lizzy sighed and picked the cookies off the floor. She looked at the clock. Time to go...finally. She took off her apron. Barney was flipping some patties. He coughed. Every time he coughed it sounded as if he'd cough up every organ in his body.

"Bye Barnes." She said. He grunted.

She walked out the door into the familiar alleyway. The same alleyway where she first met the guys. It was cold night. Then there was bang. She jumped and turned around sharply. A garbage can had been knocked over by a cat. She sighed and continued walking. she turned onto the main street. She thought she heard a noise come from the alleyway but she ignored it. Then she heard two footsteps. She panicked. She turned to look and saw a dwarf and a tall man with a beard. They were dressed in weird clothes. She knew what this meant.

"Oh no..." she said. "Not again."

**************************************************************************** *****

"What the hell happened to my oven!" Jo screamed as she opened the oven door.

"Uh oh. She found out." Frodo said.

"Someone better start talking now!" Jo said outraged.

"We were hungry!" Pippin said.

"So you burn my oven!" she yelled.

"Actually. Can you really burn an oven? I mean you can burn food but...." Jihan said. Then shut up when they all stared at her.

"God! This is it! This is absolutely it! I'm sick and tired of all of you ruining everything!" she said angrily.

"Jo..." Lauren said. She wanted to stop Jo before she said something she was going to regret. Before Jo could say something the door opened. They all looked to see Lizzy. She looked uncertain.

"Hey Liz...what's wrong." Marley said.

"I...You all better sit down." She said.

"Liz. You looked worried." Lauren said.

"I'm not worried.... I just think you all better hear this." She said and then stepped aside. Gandalf and Gimli appeared next to her. The girls stared at her confused. However, the guy's faces lit up.
