A Riddlin' and a Rhymin'
Will the friends escape the giant wave? Will they find their friends? Who is Darwin? Will these questions even be answered in the next chapter? Well...only one way to find out! Read it! AND REVIEW IT!!!
DISCLAIMER:I don't own Lord of the Rings. I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean. I don't own Brian Jacques hare speech. Well jeesh! What do I own?!
NOTE TO READER: Contrary to unpopular belief, Will Turner IS NOT in this fan fiction. Read it, write it down, remember it, and GET OVER IT! Sorry I've been looking for a situation where I could say that! The only non- original characters are Legolas and Jack Sparrow. Will Turner is, and I repeat IS NOT in this story. But since someone brought it up, I think I just might put him in :-D
So we left off with Rachel and the mysterious Darwin disappearing. Jackie, Kianna, Catie, Raige, Carlos, Jack, and Legolas were on a ship with the whole seventh grade but they ditched them and now they are stuck in the middle of the ocean with a giant wave right behind them. WHAT WILL THEY DO?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What will we do?!" Jackie screamed to her fellow shipwrecked people.
"Hey I just remembered something!" Legolas said happily.
"What?" Kianna asked.
"Don't you think we have more important things to be thinking about?" Raige asked.
"Wow. Raige actually said something that makes a bit of sense!" Catie announced.
"Oh close your mouth!" Raige said.
"Now now mates! Let's-----"Jack began but was forced to stop as the giant tsunami wave crashed over their heads.
The last thing any of them remembered was cold, dark, rushing waters swirling all around them...
-Now if I was a mean author I would end the story right now and leave you wondering about what finally happened. But I'm a nice person so I shall continue the story!-
"Hiya koma moka cappa chino!" a familiar voice chattered, adding to Kianna's headache.
"Oki cheeky moo moo auga!" another voice started.
"Cava finda hiya wert!" the first voice screamed.
"Oki cheeky moo moo yourself!" Kianna mumbled.
"Shea liva!" the second voice screamed with joy.
"Kia llami oote...yaga!" the first voice said happily.
Kianna sat up quickly. What were all these strange noises?
Finally Kianna opened her eyes. She looked around in shock. Kianna was sitting in a large hole. Kneeling on the floor of the pit, Kianna could see other holes on the shore of the small island that she was on. Kianna decided to test her legs to see if she could get out of the hole. At last, a stroke of luck, she quickly clambered from the hole.
"Noa! Goa bak tothee Holehea ling!" a third voice said.
Kianna turned to face the creature who was speaking. It was a short being, with a deep brown tan, covered in tatoos and wearing a toga.
"Whoa bea youa?" Kianna asked, shocked to hear the words come out of her mouth.
"Translata!" the being cried,"Meis Glakamook!"
"Hiya Glakamook!" Kianna asked,"Meis Kianna!"
"Goolaataa!" Glakamook said,"Coom meta leda."
"Okalata chino." Kianna said turning to follow Glakamook as he led her away from the hole.
As they weaved their way through various holes, Kianna saw her friends in holes of their own.
"Letta mea fends fee!" Kianna asked.
"Lhater." Glakamook promised.
"Okalata chino." Kianna said somewhat disappointed.
As they continued to walk across the beach, Kianna heard faint murmurs of speech. It was clearly the two beings who had been speaking near her earlier.
"Meeta Willy Turn and Madame Saxifraga Sarmentosa. She prefers Saxifraga Sarmentosa opposed to just Saxifraga." Glakamook introduced,"Willy Turn, Saxifraga Sarmentosa, meet Kianna."
"Pleesed toa meyt yhrou." Kianna said, still puzzled as to how she had learned this new starnge language.
"Yiua spek nhormmaly?" Saxifraga Sarmentosa asked.
"Thank goodness yes I do!" Kianna said pleased to be able to speak normally once more.
"My name is Will Turner. This is my good friend Saxifraga Sarmentosa." Will Turner announced.
"Hello Will, Saxifraga Sarmentosa. My name is Kianna." Kianna reintroduced herself,"Are you Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean."
"Yes as a matter of fact I am!" Will announced.
"Wow! There's someone I want you to meet!" Kianna said.
"Okay! Glakamook please come here." Will said.
So Kianna, Will, Saxifraga Sarmentosa, and Glakamook went up to each of the holes, freeing its occupant. Why exactly they had been put into holes, no one ever figured out. Finally, Kianna, Jackie, Catie, Raige, Carlos, and Will were all on the top of the beach.
"Okay Will, this is who I wanted you to meet!" Kianna said, hardly able to contain her excitement.
"Who?" Will said still mystified.
"LEGOLAS! Come meet Will!" Kianna shouted to the group assembled on the shore of the sea.
No one answered.
"Legolas?" Kianna called.
Still no answer.
Everyone else looked around, attempting to find Legolas. Raige and Jackie dashed back to where all the holes lay and made sure they hadn't missed him.
"First Rachel and Darwin; now Legolas!" Kianna said beginning to cry.
"I still don't know who Darwin is." Raige complained.
"Do you know why you don't know?" Catie asked.
"No."
"Cause you're you!"
"I'm guessing thats's not a compliment."
"So, you're not as stupid as you look. Well, it would be pretty hard to be that stupid."
"Catie, you are such an----"
"Leda mea hilpp midetai!" Glakamook said as he walked up.
"Meet Glakamook." Saxifraga Sarmentosa introduced each of them by name.
"Pileezd toome eat yhu." Glakamook said happily.
"He is happy to meet you." Saxifraga Sarmentosa explained.
"So what are we going to do now?" Jackie wondered,"Three of our comrades are lost. We're stranded on a desert island. And pirates have attacked us and obviously are holding some sort of grudge."
"Ey no wayr Willy lookalikea bes hydeenn." Glakamook announced.
"WHERE?!" Saxifraga Sarmentosa asked.
"Ey tells iffen your has ridul khauntst." Glakamook said.
"He knows where Legolas is. He'll tell us if we have a riddle contest." Saxifraga Sarmentosa explained.
"Count us in!" Kianna said, determined as ever to introduce Legolas and Will.
"I shall go first, then Raige, then Glakamook." Saxifraga NAME decided.
"Let's hear the riddle!" Raige said.
"Tis in snake...yet not bake
The three terrible beginnings all have it...
The first letter in a lost friend's name
The beginning of awful and argue
The end of town and crown
Where a hole always leads...
Add ed and its for sure,
What you are now." Saxifraga Sarmentosa finished.
There was a long silence until Raige finally shouted out,"Stranded!"
"Correct." Saxifraga Sarmentosa said,"It's your turn Raige."
"Here it goes:
The color of his cloak
The color of old hair
Yet also the color of smoke
And he wears it with so little care
It rhymed with so many words, I say!
If you've paid close attention to this little rhyme,
You will figure out the answer...
In almost no time!" Raige finished.
No one said anything, silently going over the riddle in their heads.
"Time's up! Answer is...gray!" Raige announced.
"Legolas' cloak IS NOT GRAY!" Catie said as she threw a sandball at him.
"Gray!"
"Green!"
"Gray"
"Green"
"Gray"
"Green"
"Gray!"
"Green!"
"It's both so just close your mouths and keep them that way!" Saxifraga Sarmentosa said.
"Okay Glakamook, your turn." Jackie said.
"Okay, here it goes!" Glakamook began:"
There once was a tree,
A great friend he was
To the bird and the bee
And he did as a tree does...
Grow in the Spring
Yet not in the Fall
Though he loved to play pongping
There was a game he loved most of all
What was it?"
No one said anything...then finally...
"Pingpong!" Catie shouted.
"Cheater" Raige accused.
"So not."
"So not" Raige mimicked.
"Okay, so where's Legolas?" Kianna asked.
"This wasn't a contest." Glakamook announced.
"Yes it was!" Catie defended.
"Well than what was the prize?" Glakamook demanded.
"It's back at the castle. Why don't we all go there now?" Saxifraga Sarmentosa suggested.
"Sounds good to me." everyone agreed, eager to get Legolas to meet Will.
So Saxifraga Sarmentosa and Will led Jackie, Kianna, Raige, Carlos, and Glakamook to their castle. When they arrived, the guests were shocked. The term castle barely seemed to do the building justice. It looked as though it had just popped out of a fairy tale.
"Wow..." breathed Kianna.
"The prize is in the cellar." Saxifraga Sarmentosa explained.
So they all climbed down the stairs to the left of the castle and went into the cellar. As soon as they arrived, Saxifraga Sarmentosa began to hop around and shout.
"I have captured you all! Even the imfamous Will Turner and Jack Sparrow! I'm invincible! I'll go catch Barbosa now!" with that, Saxifraga Sarmentosa turned around and ran out of the cellar.
"Do you think she realizes that she never tied us up and left the door wide open?" Raige wondered.
"Probably not. She's mad." Will explained,"Everytime someone visits, she puts me, Glakamook, and the visitor in the cellar then we come out and she's already forgotten."
"Ohhh." Jackie said.
"Well mates, let's get choppin outa hear, wot wot?"Jack said cheerily.
"We haven't heard you say anything for a while, mate. Did a cat get your tongue?" Kianna asked.
Jack proceeded to open his mouth and show where a piece of his tongue had been bitten off.
"Okay then! How about we get out...right now!" Carlos said.
"And find Legolas, Rachel, and Darwin!" Kianna suggested.
"I think I'll stay here."Glakamook said and proceeded to take a nap.
"Ditto." Will said, also falling asleep.
"Well...let's get going!" Catie said.
So Catie led Jackie, Kianna, Jack, Catie, Raige, and Carlos out of the cellar and towards a large boat, which had been conveniently anchored near where they emerged.
"Well I guess Will will never meet Legolas...but at least there's a boat we can
"borrow" and of course return." Jack said.
The seven friends borded the boat and set off toward the setting sun.
"We should probably look for Rachel and Darwin first. And the Black Pearl." Catie announced.
"Hey look at that piece of seaweed!" Raige shouted,"It looks kind of like Legolas' hair!"
"You're right!" Jackie said, peering over the edge of the boat,"We should grabit and show it to him when we find him!"
"Okay! Who has a big net?" Carlos asked.
"I do!" Jack said pulling it from under his hat.
After they had pulled the "seaweed" up, they made a rather shocking discovery.
"OMG it's Legolas!" Catie gasped.
"I come to you from Kalamazoo and I must say this is a rather good day!" Legolas rhymed.
"Huh?"
"You won't know what happens NEXT unless in the review box you put some TEXT." Legolas announced.
