Yeah! I just made 1st chair in band!!!! Sorry, I've never been 1st chair
before. I always seem to get 2nd. Anyways, I'm in a good mood so I'm
updating. Thank you all reviewers, I love to hear what people think of my
writing! This chapter is kind of short because I wrote it in my tent over
spring break and my flashlight started to go out.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Wait! *digs in pocket* I DO own my little tiny blue stapler that I just got today in English for writing the best poem in my class! I'm considering posting it on fictionpress, but then I have to make an account there... ANYway...
"What do you mean you forgot to cash your check?" Eowyn asked, "How could you forget?"
Gandalf didn't answer. He looked like a child who just found out that Christmas had been canceled. He looked up solemnly at Aragorn.
"Aragorn, I have to ask you to do something very important for me," Gandalf pleaded, "Will you please take this to the bank for me?" Gandalf handed the check to Aragorn, who sighed.
"You'll have to come with me."
Gandalf turned to Merry.
"Meriadoc Brandybuck, I appoint you to the task of- wait, no, I don't trust you. Let's see, Gimli, son of Gloin, I know how much you prize the gift of technology and electronics, therefore I am appointing you to the task of guarding my most prized possession at the moment, my compact disk, Polka Madness Volume 2."
"That was a rather long sentence," Sam whispered to Merry, who was still flustered about not being trusted by Gandalf.
Gimli looked confused at first, then shrugged. "Whatever."
"Let's go then," Aragorn said and he grabbed the wizard's hand.
They were halfway to the door when the lights went out.
"What happened?!" Gandalf yelled.
Aragorn rushed to the door as fast as he could in the dark. There it was lighter from outside. He pressed his whole weight against the door. It didn't budge.
"Just as I thought."
He looked out of the glass and could barely make out the figure of the Wal-Mart manager, battling his way to his car through the snow, which was already starting to pile up by the doors.
Gandalf came scrambling up beside the distraught Ranger.
Aragorn said the words that sealed their fate.
"We're locked in."

The ten friends were standing around in the electronics when suddenly it went dark.
"Ahhhh! Help! Help! I've gone blind!"
"Shut up Pippin! I can't see either."
"I don't think anyone can."
"Ow! Someone just stepped on my foot!"
"Sorry, who is that? Eowyn?"
"Arwen."
"Oh, my bad."
"OK listen up everyone! Remain calm!" Faramir's voice entered the fray of shouts, screams, and other miscellaneous noises.
"How and we remain calm is we can't see anything?"
Faramir recognized the sound of his wife's voice and put his arm around her.
There was an uncomfortable cough. "Um, Faramir, is that you?"
Faramir blushed (though no one could see him) and took his arm off of Legolas's shoulder. "Sorry."
"Anyway," Faramir continued, "People, remain calm! I know how to handle this situation."
They could hear his footsteps moving away.
"Hey where are you going?"
"Yeah, don't just leave us here!"
Faramir sighed. "I'm going to see if I can turn the lights back on."
"How?"
"You don't know where the light switch is!"
Faramir sighed again. "OK, I used to work a Wal-Mart. I used to be assistant manager."
Legolas gasped.
If Faramir could see the looks on his friends' faces, he would treasure that moment for life. The expressions were priceless. It was what you would call a Kodak moment, if he could see them.
Faramir broke the silence. "I'm leaving now," he announced.
"Oh Faramir, honey, let me go with you," Eowyn pleaded, "You don't know what could be out there!"
"Sheesh woman, it's just Wal-Mart!" came Gimli's voice from...somewhere.
"OK, Eowyn, come with me, the rest of you, stay here," Faramir said.
Pretty soon the sounds of footsteps faded and they were left all alone in the dark.
A/N: Yeah I know, there's a lot of dialogue in this chapter but remember, that's the only way they can communicate since it's dark. Anyway, please review!
