Chapter One

School Dreams

St. Joseph Academy was an all girl school, the main building was old, and where most classes were held. Otherwise, students went through the relatively new Arcade, a wide hallway, which was connected to both the gym (Academy Center) and the music room, just across the Arcade from the Academy Center.

Groups weren't huge here, generally. And most people didn't pay attention to the other groups. Their focus was on their studies and what put them in that group, that special common interest.

The focus of this story is on a group often known as 'The Muses', some girls were official muses (in the creative writing club) and some just deserved the name. It was a fairly large group, 9 people in it, oh you want to know their names? Oh all right! Katie McGuire (aka Kizzle McGizzle), Alecia Mouhanna, Tinisha Hufford, Ashley Burton, Jenny Kuzma, Megan Kilkenny, Kit Faulhaber, Kaye Goodwin and Ann Werner. All of them were totally obsessed with LotR, most of them were accomplished singers or actresses or both. And all of them loved to write.

None of them were stupid (nix Kit) and none of them were ugly, so they hated being called nerds, they preferred being called weird. They were all prone to sugar highs and all despised two people. Kris Viccafañe and Lyndsey Hardet (names changed for privacy reasons). A sizzle would sound from them at just those despicable names.

Our story begins with a fairly snowy day, the middle of March and quite chilly. Particularly gloomy for them, since this prevented them from gazing out the windows. Kit, Alecia and Ann were in French class, it was A block (this week second block, 9:19-10:44) and the lesson was over, they had been instructed to work on tonight's homework, but who ever did? What could they possibly have done then, uh dur! WRITE!

That's what! And that's what they did! Kit looked over to Alecia and Ann, who, were both writing something, devilish grins on their faces. She chuckled softly and smugly grinned.

The little Anti-Christs! She thought sheepishly, shaking her head and going back to her own notebook.

The bell dinged and she stood, silently gathering her books.

"Au revoir," Mme Buatois said. "Ah bientôt, have a good weekend!"

"Friday." Kit breathed, the word tasted heavenly and in her ecstacy, she had forgotten to pick up the pace and for a rare treat, Alecia reached her before she had barely moved.

Alecia grinned in triumph as she clutched the huge stack of books, mostly her notebooks. "Now who's the disorganized one?"

Kit grinned to herself, then looked at her friend straight faced. "I've always been disorganized, just not as much as you."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure you have!" Alecia nudged her to move faster and slipped her a note as they made their way down the stairs to the second level, were both's home-rooms and lockers were. They talked about the usual random things and hated people until they reached Kit's locker.

"See you at lunch." She said, then went to the locker and smiled at the person with one next to her. "Hey Brittany."

"Hey Kit, how's it going?"

Kit sighed at the always enthusiastic teen. "Peachy keen, jelly bean. You?"

Brittany shrugged. "I don't know. Pat called me."

Kit scoffed. "Sucking up?"

"Totally." Brittany closed and locked her locker and went into home room, leaving Kit to roll her eyes in disgust and finish getting her books. She too went in and sat down, listened through the boring announcements, or at least pretending to while she wrote. Then study hall, she wrote and wrote. Now it was time to go down to lunch. The bell dinged and so she flew down the stairs, signed in and sat down in her usual spot, disgusted to see Lyndsey's books there.

With a grin she shoved them onto the neighboring table, home of some of her worst enemies. Once everyone returned from getting their lunches they all whipped out the notebooks and swapped them, discussed each others writing and their days. Ashley grinned lightly and said, "Wouldn't it be wicked awesome if we were IN the LotR stories?"

Kit sighed and nodded. "Wicked awesome, man! But totally impossible."

Katie chuckled. "Dude, we could chase after the guys we like!"

"And beat up the ones we hate." Alecia said with an evil grin.

Suddenly, a flash of lightening went throughout the room and all the girls blinked as a disembodied voice spoke. "Your wish is my command."

"Hey! Kit can I sit with you guys?" The stomach wrenching voice of Kris called, and just as she moved to them the group disappeared, poof wham, and poor Kris, this was too much for her small mind and she passed out trying to figure it out, Lyndsey walked up to find no one sitting there and her books not there.

"Hey!!!!"

Screams sounded as the girls were warped through, well, fiction and suddenly they landed on ground, Ashley looked like she would be sick, but she also looked different, they all noticed. Wait a minute, they all looked really different! Suddenly they knew who they were, they remembered the life they had just left, but the lives and missions of Levanna, Ellomë, Chrisíì, Pharazôn, Salvia, Mariemaia, Thursia, Daisy and Dalmar filled them. Then, Rihorle and Eowni appeared, Rihorle with his hand locked in Dalmar's, Eowni in a little knapsack on Levanna's back.

Dalmar grinned in delight as she beheld her cloned beauty, his hair curled due to those fantasies we all have, he wasn't an exact clone due to this little thing. "Hey there, gorgeous!"

"AHHHHH I'M WHITE!" Chrisíì screamed.

Levanna rolled her eyes and stepped forward, searching the area around them, a sudden familiar laughter filled the woods they were in, and Pippin, Merry, Diamond and Olanèa came dashing in. Levanna laughed and ran to her cousin.

"Lana! You're here too?"

"Yeah, isn't it great?" Lana grinned dazedly as she looked over at Merry. Levanna chuckled.

"Hey! Guess what all?"

"What?"

"I have evil powers!" Thursia announced and made Chrisíì's hair go bright yellow.

Ellomë chuckled. "Dude, it looks like someone peed in your hair!"

Levanna elbowed her. "Ellie! Don't be sick!"

"Well it does!"

"So..."

"Levanna Talltree where have you been?"

All looked up into the hard set yet ageless face of Omartrique, Levanna's father. She laughed nervously and looked at him pleadingly. "It was Legolas' idea!"

"Dude! You're an elf!"

"And what do you think you are, a dwarf?" he rolled his eyes at Dalmar. "I suppose these are your guests. Well come on, Eowni's fussy."

Pharazôn fluffed her hair. "Well let's roll."

Levanna's eyes widened. "I just realized, that you're like, my niece."

"Aren't you lucky!" She replied leading them.

"Two world savers in one family? We need help."

Salvia blinked and tilted her head. "Well, only when you start fighting over who saves the world first."

Ellomë snorted. "Well we all know Vanni just saves our sanity and is kinda like Jesus, she saves us from our faults too, so I'm guessing with symbolism in hand she does kind of win this one."

"I'm guessing not." Pharazôn declared.

"Where'd Lana go?"

"Home, her Dad get's PISSED when she's not home on time." Levanna chuckled.

"Does that word even exist anymore?" Mariemaia asked.

"Nope." Levanna responded. "No more swearing."

"Ugh!" A group of voices groaned.

Mwa ha ha. Sorry it took so long. Much, much more to come!
