Spoilers: Buffy--everything's cannon Angel--Faith going to Sunnydale (it's not out yet in the Buffy verse when I'm writing this) Lord of the Rings--everything's cannon, but it starts in the Fellowship of the Ring when they're on the watch tower and the Ringwraiths come. For LOTR it started out as a mix of movie and book, but from now on it's solely book. (I'm almost through The Ring Goes South in the book, so this may take a while.)
Summary: Buffy is summoned to Middle-Earth by Gandalf, by some fluke the rest of the Scooby Gang transported also. Then the third slayer Madeline Naur comes after them with Giles, now all we're missing is Faith...wait...nope...she'll be there too...all there just in time to join the Fellowship. Throw in a prophecy and a really messed up plot...
Disclaimer: I've been sleeping since Easter pretty much, yet I'm still really really tired, so if you're a lawyer looking for a case, back off, I own nothing but the laptop I'm writing on, and technically I don't even really own that, it could easily be taken away at any minute for bad grades.
Pairings: Buffy/Aragorn, Faith/Boromir (while he's alive, if you think about it, they do kinda fit together), Dawn/Frodo (very subtle in this part, little things mostly, not even kissing...I don't think, I have yet to figure it out yet), and Legolas/OC, in the beginning it will be Aragorn/Arwen, only cause that's got to be done to start off...though, on my OC's pairing, just after my last post, I moved into a strange Glorfindel induced obsession, so you'll kinda have to wait and see on that, I'm not sure, what's gonna happen at this moment, sorry...^_-
A/N: ok, it's taking forever to get the five reviews I requested, so I'm writing this ahead of time and will have it to post when those five reviews come in. Sorry to be such a bitch, but my inspiration runs off of knowing that people like my story, when I don't get reviews I kinda lose interest and forget my story line.
Feedback:
EVERYONE: thanks so much for reviewing to those four who did, one less than I'd wanted, but I'm happy. The reviews you guys are leaving are gonna make my head burst. Please continue reviewing, the more reviews I get, the sooner I'll update.
Wingedslayer03: that'll be a while, he's still into Arwen for a good few more chapters.
Scarlett: more??? there's already been Buffy/Aragorn, god, that's bad (me not knowing I already wrote Buffy/Aragorn not that I wrote it, that's always good)
Dark Wolf: hmm, blame ff.n, I never thought of that one, good thinking. Yeah, I posted that story, one person reviewed it, they hated it, babbling something about how I had no right to post it yadda yadda yadda I didn't really pay attention to the rest of it. Just because of them I gonna continue it. Lol.
Starlight-cs: a good review's a good review, thanks, I had some friends read over it just recently, and since they knew where I was going with the plot, they agreed with you, thanks a bunch, I'm terrible at writing verse usually, that's probably the one time I didn't just have Giles read the prophecy to him self and then explain it to the others.
Haha, I'm so stupid, that last review reply was to one of those friends I was saying was reading over…wow I'm such a spaz…lol…
Chapter 7
"Nárë," she said, holding her hands out in the direction of the extra vampires, one at a time a flame blasted from her palm and engulfed them, leaving her, Jasper, and four piles of dust. Then, sending Jasper an innocent sort of smile, she said, "That's better don't you think?"
"What'd you do to them?" he asked, a little more than slightly startled.
"I said fire, and fire shot out of my hand and turned them into ashtray filler," she said, still smiling. "What, the whole slayer's don't use magic thing got you down? Yeah, well, sorry to bring you even farther down, but I have almost three-thousand years of this stuff, and what, how long have you been a vampire? I heard only ten years, that's nothing."
Everything was going just the way she liked it, he was practically shaking in his boots. Ok, so Buffy had told her not to do the whole talk bit, but hell, this was way too much fun, and it wasn't like Buffy never did it.

"You said you'd tell us who your friend Mady is," Pippin said as they sat around the fire eating what little food they could, which included something Strider had gone off and shot for their dinner.
"I did, didn't I?" Dawn said, pulling her legs under her, making herself more comfortable by the fire.

The crystal started glowing faintly, and Jasper dropped it, mumbling something about burns. Mady only smiled and moved towards him, stake in hand. He kicked out at her, but she ducked before sending a roundhouse to his chest. He went flying back into the alley wall.

Ring, ring.
"Hey, Dawnie, get the phone would ya, thanks," Faith said, walking past Dawn as she tended to one of the girl's wounds from their most recent battle with the bringers.
"First of all, that's the doorbell," Dawn stated, glaring at Faith.
"Oops, my bad," Faith answered as she started to continue on her way.
"Second, get it yourself; we're all busy, what are you doing?" Dawn continued.
"Fine, fine, fine," the slayer mumbled as she went to answer the door.
She opened the door and saw a girl not that much shorter than her standing on the other side. She had shoulder-length, pale blond hair, and crystal blue eyes, and only looked to be about sixteen. She was wearing a black velvet, medieval style, dress and was carrying a black leather bag.
"Hello," she smiled. "I'm Madeline Naur."
"Hey," Faith answered. "Can I help you?"
"I'm sorry, this is the Summer's residence, right?" she asked. "I'm here because of the First, the Powers sent me. You must be Faith, they told me about you. I'm looking for Buffy."
"Yeah, you're at the right place, she's in the kitchen," Faith told her, taking a step back.
"Thanks," she nodded, understanding Faith's reason for not inviting her in, as she walked past her and into the kitchen where Buffy was talking to Xander, Willow, and Wood were talking. "Um, excuse me?"
The looked up at her, almost surprised to see her, almost.

He charged at her, anticipating her moving out of the way, he sent out a punch just in time to hit her square in the jaw. She stumbled back a step, before regaining her balance and sending another well aimed roundhouse back at him. He hit the ground, and she put a stake through his heart before he could get up again.

"Are you another potential?" Buffy asked, or said, there wasn't much difference in her tone.
"Potentia—" she started to ask, before it hit her, potential equals could be slayer. "No, I'm a slayer."
"Really?" Buffy answered, disbelievingly.
"Going on about two years now, I've been working under the guidance of the Powers in another world," she told them, remembering the story the Powers had told her to give them, she changed quite a bit, but it still kept the basic plot. "No vampires, but dragons and goblins take away the need for a good hunt. By the way, my names Madeline, Madeline Naur."
"That does make sense, she could have been called after the whole Glory thing," Willow put in.
"I was told you could use my help, if you don't want it, I can always go back to where I came from, I always did like fairy tales better than modern times," Mady said starting to turn away as if to leave.
"It's not safe out there," Buffy said, as way of stopping her. "We can use all the help we can get. Come on, you can camp out here with everyone else."
"Great," Mady mumbled, following her into the living room.
"Hey, everyone can I have your attention," Buffy yelled, instantly stopping all lines of conversation. "This is Madeline Naur, she's another slayer; she'll be joining us."
"I thought we had both the slayers," Kennedy commented.
"We do, but it seems another one was called the second time I died," Buffy answered, flashes of the night on the tower going through her mind quickly.
"Yup, I'm Madeline, please, call me 'Mady' though, that's what everyone used to call me back home," she smiled.

"That was too easy," Mady said, settling down in the passenger side seat of Giles' car. "A simple fire spell pretty much wiped them out."
"Did you get your crystal?" Giles asked.
"Of course," she answered, smiling proudly as she held it up for him to see.
He started up the engine and drove to the Summers' home, both quiet thinking their separate thoughts.
"I'm gonna get some sleep, ok?" she told him as they walked inside. "Wake me if anything happens, though you should probably get some sleep too."
"Yes, of course, you do that," he agreed, only half paying attention.
"Giles get some sleep, I have some stuff to do tomorrow, and then, we can do the spell tomorrow evening," she said, putting extra emphasis on him getting some sleep.
"I will, I just need to check on something first."
"Ok, whatever. Good night."

~Dream/Memory~
She stepped out of his protective embrace, her tears were gone. She just stood there, looking like a child again, scared and alone. Suddenly, her legs went weak and she fell.
Glorfindel caught her just before she hit her head on the foot of the large bed on her way down.
"Arwenamin," he said, as she wrapped her arms around his neck and let her head rest on his shoulder. He picked her up and carried her over to the bed, laying her down, he whispered, "I must go, the dawn is already rising in the east."
"Please, don't go," she whispered back, before moving into a sitting position and kissing him.

A/N: weird ending I know, I was going to go somewhere with that, but it's been so long since I updated and I kinda lost my train of thought there that I decided to cut it short and post what I have, even though I was one review short of the five I requested. Hey, remember, the more reviews, the more inclined I am to update regularly.
