Tru Calling of the Fellowship Ch 3: Stories

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters in this fan fic. Tru and Lindsay are off of my favorite TV show Tru Calling on Fox. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They had been running for hours. Tru looked up at the darkening sky. Stars were starting to come out. She wondered when they were going to stop. Then Aragorn yelled out that they would stop here. *Finally. I was starting to think we would never stop! * Tru thought as she threw herself on the ground and closed her eyes.

When she opened them she saw the four hobbits surrounding her. "Do you have any food?" Pippin asked. "Uh, I think, I don't know. Let me check" Tru said as she opened her bag. There was food all right! Tons of it! Tru took out five apples and tossed them to the hobbits. They thanked her and ran off to set up their sleeping spots. Tru laughed as she watched them fight over who slept by who.

Tru turned back to her bag and looked in. She had apples, bananas, bread and cheese for food. Tru sighed in relief. She had enough to last a while, but not long enough. She hoped the others had some food too. Tru looked back in. There were also some clothes. She took them out. They were made of silk. One was a dress and the other was a two piece *kind of like what Arwen was in when she rescued Frodo* Tru thought. The dress was so pretty. It was a light sky blue and was long enough to go all the way to her ankles. The sleeves were really big and wide. Around the knees it split to show a different shade of blue underneath, a darker, rich royal blue. Tru sighed. She didn't usually wear dresses but it was so pretty! She thought she better save it for a special occasion, then folded it up and put it back in. She looked around some more. There wasn't much more. There was a shiny silver thing near the bottom but Tru didn't pay much attention to it and a few herbs and leaves, but that was mostly it. She took these out. They had strong smells. Aragorn looked over at her and saw Tru smelling all the leaves and herbs. Then he noticed she was about to smell a blue-green leaf. He rushed over and pulled the leaf away before she smelled it. "You don't want to smell that one." Aragorn warned. "Why?" Tru asked. "You smell this herb and it will put you asleep for at least a day or two" Aragorn laughed. He thought everyone knew this, or at least should. "Come over to the fire. You promised to tell us your story." Aragorn reminded her. Tru got up and followed Aragorn to the fire.

When they got to the fire Tru sat down. Everyone was looking at her. "Umm... where should I start?" Tru asked. "How 'bout where you came from?" Gimli said. He didn't trust this girl at all. "Well, I'm from New York..." "New York? Where's New York?" Merry interrupted. Tru laughed. "It's in the United States. I'm not from Middle Earth. I'm not even from this century. I'm from the 21st century. 2004. Way in the future." Tru said. "We're supposed to believe that? That you're 'from the future'?" Gimli asked. HE still didn't trust her. Tru tried to think of a way to prove what she was saying. Then she remembered something she had seen in her bag. She ran over and got it, then brought it back. She searched through it till she found what she was looking for. Her Walkman. She didn't know why it had made it and not her cell, but she was just glad to have it. "O!!!! What's that?" Sam asked curiously. "It's called a Walkman. It plays music." Tru answered. She turned it on. It didn't work! "The batteries are dead. Or it just doesn't work here" Tru said to herself. But Legolas heard. "What does it usually do?" he asked. "Well usually it plays music off of a c.d. This is a CD." Tru answered holding up her Evanescence CD. Then she put it back in, not wanting to scratch it. Now everyone believed her. "But how did you get here?" Frodo questioned. "I don't know. I was crossing the street, when a car hit me... THAT'S IT! The car must have knocked me out and maybe somehow transported me back in time!" Tru stopped for a second to look at all the confused faces. *O yea... they don't know what a car is. * Tru remembered. "Don't ask. It's really complicated." Tru said as Sam was about to open his mouth. Everyone was silent. "I think that explains everything. I believe you and think you're a good person. You can stay with us if you want. But it's getting late. We should all go to bed. I'll take the first watch." Aragorn said finally. "WAIT! I got one more question! What does CD stand for?" Pippin asked. Tru had to think about that one. Nobody had ever asked her that. But she had heard it somewhere. "I think it means compacted disc." Tru said. "Thanks..." Pippin replied not knowing what a disc was. Now its time for everyone to go to bed" Tru said. With a few complaints from the hobbits everyone went to bed and Aragorn took the next watch. Tru slept silently till it was her turn to watch, right after Aragorn. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
