"Good morning!"
Bran awoke to the sound of Lily's annoyingly cheerful voice.
"Rise and shine!"
"I will rise," Bran stated, "but I refuse to shine."
Lily then climbed up on Bran's plush, oversized bed and began to jump. "Morning, Morning, Morning!"
With one good *thwack* Bran sent her overly hyper friend sprawling to the floor. "Too early in the morning to deal with you."
With that, she lumbered out of bed, ran a brush through her hair, and accidentally brushed her teeth with a hair dryer. Deeming herself ready to be seen in the light of day, she lumbered out of the bathroom.
Lily was grinning like a maniac, and still jumping on Bran's bed. "I wouldn't do that..." Bran warned, just before the bed fell through the floor, taking the unsuspecting Lily with it. "Oh, dear." Bran said, not sounding in the least bit worried or upset. She slowly meandered over to the hole in the floor. It cleared six floors, straight down to the kitchen.
Suddenly, Lily's bright blond head popped up from the rubble. "I'm okay!"
Bran rolled her eyes and started down the stairs.
****Approx. ten minutes later**** Bran meandered into her kitchen to see Lily still sitting on what used to be her bed, Sulel at the kitchen table, and Aragorn sitting happily on the floor playing with the new Johnny the Cereal Spoon and all his extended family.
"Where's Legolas?" Bran questioned.
Lily, Sulel, and Aragorn all pointed in the direction of the pantry. Bran furrowed her eyebrows and peeked in. Well, there was Legolas, sitting on the topmost shelf, blubbering like an idiot.
"What's wrong now, you big baby?" Bran barked.
In response, the troubled elf chucked a can of cat food at Bran, who expertly caught it. "I-ingredients..." was all Legolas would say.
Bran rolled her eyes. "Let's see here. Ingredients; Fish... diobioxynapelsnorkomite... and, what's this last one? Oh, elf."
"Elf!" Legolas cried, and tumbled off the shelf.
"Hey, look at that. Time to go to school." Bran said, ignoring the elf prince and glancing at the clock.
"What's school?" Aragorn asked suddenly, looking up from Johnny and his mother, Bill. Yes, I said mother.
"It's like being a prisoner of war for six hours." Bran replied, before taking the Middle Earth residents upstairs and changing them into 'normal' clothes.
****Fifteen minutes later**** So, here they were, standing at a 'bus stop' waiting for what Bran said was the vehicle that would haul the prisoners away.
"But, Bran, I don't get it," Sulel said confusedly. "Did you do something bad? Why are we getting hauled off too?"
Bran sighed. "Just be quiet."
That instant, four girls walked up. "Hey, Bran, Lily, people we don't know." They said.
"Hey you guys. These are our friends... uh..." Lily furrowed her brows and stared at the two elves. "Samuel..." She pointed to Sulel, "and Larry." She pointed to Legolas. "And this is..." She halted when she came to Aragorn. "This is... uh..."
"ACORN!" Bran yelled, unable to control herself.
"Oh." The girls chorused.
"Guys, these are..."
"Snuffy." A dark-haired, hazel-eyed girl interrupted. She had on a long-sleeved black shirt that was ripped and frayed at the cuffs and bottom, and a pair of black jeans. At least ten pounds of black makeup adorned her abnormally pale face. "I like fluffy things." She declared, and then fell on the ground chanting, "paperclip".
"I'm her sister, Rose." A peppy looking redhead declared. She was wearing a tight red t-shirt that clashed hideously with her hair, and white pants with so many blotches of different colors splattered on them, Sulel (or, now Samuel) thought a paint factory must have exploded on her pants. Her green eyes shone, and she fiddled with a gold locket around her neck. "You're cute." She said, looking at Sulel.
"He's also taken," Bran hissed, grabbing his arm, and making him blush with pleasure.
Rose's face fell. Bran smirked.
"I am Communist Dust Bunny!" A Russian tinged accent barked. All turned to find an East Asian (read; Indian) girl standing ramrod straight. She had dark hair, eyes, and skin, and was clad in a potato sack and a pair of extra shiny black combat boots. All two feet of her raven dark hair was pulled into a tight braid.
"And I'm Gabrielle Greenstone." A meek looking blond piped up. Her pretty green eyes were lowered and sheathed by a pair of oval glasses. She wore a crisply starched white shirt tucked into a neat gray pleated skirt. A thick, intimidating copy of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment was clutched in her hands.
"Hi." Was all the Middle Earth residents could muster.
Soon later, a bright yellow school bus pulled up. The words 'New Hope County Public Schools' were block printed in black letters on the side.
"Hop on," Bran said. She hadn't yet let go of Sulel's arm (much to his pleasure) and pulled him on board. Next went Snuffy, Rose, Aragorn, and Gabrielle, followed by Communist Dust Bunny (who thwacked Lego with her two feet of hair), and of course, the now thwacked Legolas.
The bus began to move, and Sulel jumped up. "What is this devilry?" "Oh, Samuel, what's wrong?" Rose asked flirtatiously.
"Get your filthy paws off him!" Bran growled, and pulled Sulel down to his seat. "It's like a.... horseless carriage." Lily offered.
This seemed to calm the poor elf.
Rose stared sullenly ahead for the rest of the trip.
Finally, the bus pulled into the parking lot of a gigantic gray building. A huge chain link fence, topped with menacing looking barbed wire, surrounded it.
"Welcome. Welcome to No Hope High."

Snuffy belongs to my friend green_and_silver, Rose belongs to Mela's Runya, and Communist Dust Bunny belongs to shadowkittie04. Gabrielle Greenstone is a character created for the wonderful Daughter of Night. It's probably going to take me (us) longer to update chapters now, 'cause I've been banned from the internet, and must write up all chapters by hand. Which reminds me; THANK YOU LEGALAN! THANK YOU!
