Here is the next instalment of the mad ramblings I wrote last week. More of my friends and classmates could be introduced in this one, so I'll quickly describe some of them to you.

Brodie: She's a good friend. She's pretty sporty, and kinda tall, and she's funny. As in weird-sense-of-humour funny. And nice. She is the niece of my dad's best mate, which I only discovered earlier this year. Above all else, she ADORES Johnny Depp. Idolizes him, loves him, worships him! Remember that.

Jess: Also a good friend of mine. She joins in a lot of activities I get into my head to do. Like the school play, and playing badminton, and those kinds of things. She's smart (well actually, we all are. Seriously! We're in the "gifted" class :P). She's pretty, and also kinda tall. When she's being nasty, like making up insults, she's a pisser.

Lauren: Okay, firstly, Lauren (Loz) is TALL!!!!!!!!! Secondly, she has red hair. She plays basketball, lots. I mean it, she is in no less than 4 different leagues. FOUR!!! She's quite nice.

Kaytlyn: Another friend of mine (obviously). She's tallish, and quite nice. She's not in the "gifted" class. Umm... she's the youngest of all of us, by a few months. She does quite fun things, like going on webcam and doing quite interesting stuff... I was there...

Katie: She's been my friend since kindergarten. The others I met this year. She's Christian, and very good (as in, well-behaved). She does weird things, like lifting up your arm and waving it around while you're walking, and laughs at nothing in particular. But she's nice.

Kristal: She was in the very first chapter. She's short, like me. Only I think she's shorter. She's really smart, and weird. She loves Johnny Depp too, and also horses (I get so SICK of her and her friends talking about HORSES!!!!!) She's very nice.

John: Guy in my class. He's okay, but annoying a lot of the time, and really really annoyingly intelligent. Always does his Maths, unlike moi. He is your typical nerd; red hair, blue glasses, pale skin, freckles, long neck, girlish voice.

Me: The bestest person in the whole entire world ever. Okay okay, that's a lie. I am short, I have longish brown hair, and I'm Italian. And I wrote these stories. Speaking of which, this is almost a page long, so I'll shut up now.


The purple vortex spat out Kristal, Heidi, Legolas and Aragorn in an undignified heap.

"I did it!" Heidi cheered, jumping up and down, still holding Legolas' wrist. "I did it, I did it, I did it!"

"Shut up," Kristal hissed. Too late...

"Mr Booooooooooooooox, Heidi and Kristal brought people from another time and place into our classroom!" John whined. "That has to be against the rules!"

"Ooh crap, ruuuuuuuuuuuun!" Heidi said, pulling Legolas and Aragorn along behind her. Kristal followed.

The two girls and two afraid guys from another dimension flew out of the doors of the S-wing, misjudged the position of the stair rails and fell headfirst over them, landing in a crumpled heap at the bottom.

"Ow," Kristal said. "Get off my foot!"

"I'm not on your foot!" Heidi replied.

"Someone is!" Kristal replied.

"Please stop yelling in my sensitive ears," Legolas asked politely.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, my poor bubby," Heidi said.

Kristal pushed everyone off her and stood up, and Heidi and her two prisoners – er, I mean FRIENDS, followed suit.

"Hey look, busses in the bus loop," Heidi said.

"Well good, I'd be worried if they WEREN'T in the bus loop," Kristal pointed out.

"No, I mean why are they there?" Heidi said. "And why are the excursion people coming out of them?"

"Excursion people?" Legolas said. "Valar spare me, not more of these strange humans."

"Busses?" Aragorn asked. "What kind of demons are they?"

"Big fat ones that carry people around," Heidi said. "Come on, there are my friends."

She led everyone over to the busses, where kids were standing around grumbling.

"Hi guys!" she said to her friends Jess, Brodie, Lauren, Emma and Selena.

"Hi," they replied. "Why aren't you in Info Skills?"

"Well it's a long story. See me and Kristal were bumming around on the net and then this thing appeared and sucked us into the computer and we were in Middle Earth and then we ate lollies and got sucked out again, but I bought a souvenir." Heidi gestured Legolas and Aragorn.

"Learn to count, that's TWO souvenirs," Brodie said.

"WhatEVERRRRRRRR!" Heidi said. "So why aren't you at the Art Exhibition?"

"Long story. Miss Walkinwhore started flirting with one of the security gaurds," Jess said.

"Gross," Heidi said.

"Yeah, that's what he thought, coz he broke the original "Scream" painting over her head to make her back off," Jess explained. "She got a concussion and we got sent back here."

"Hard luck. Still, you can play with me and Leggy and Aragorn."

"Where are they?" Brodie asked.

Heidi looked around. "They buggered off!" She spotted the two across the yard. "They're climbing in the mud! GET OUT OF THE BUILDERS YARD!!!"

"Builders yard? Nay, 'tis the Dead Marshes. We are looking for Frodo and Sam."

"It's the bloody builders yard, there's a Port-a-Potty in there. They'll come out and yell at you, get back here," Heidi said. The two hung their heads and walked back.

"I fear Frodo and Sam have somehow fallen into this dreadful realm. We must save them before they pass over into the shadow world and become a Human," Aragorn said.

"You're insane, I think people would have noticed two hairy guys walking around in funny clothes," Kristal said.

"Look, there is Frodo!" Legolas cried, pointing.

"That's not Frodo, it's just some kid. He's wearing a school uniform," Heidi said.

"Frauds!" Aragorn said. "Posers! They are pretending to be Frodo to hold us off his trail!"

"No they're not!" Kristal yelled. "We have to get these two home before they go insane Heidi."

"No, they're mine."

"They don't belong to anyone. Listen, that's the bell. Let's sneak back into S1 and see if we can get these two back into the computer," Kristal said.

So Heidi, Kristal, Jess, Brodie, Lauren, Aragorn and Legolas headed back over to the computer wing and slunk into the room. It was empty.

"Phew. Okay, Heidi, you load up that website and see if you can get those two back into the vortex. I'll keep an eye on them. And you three...." Kristal paused and

looked at Jess, Brodie and Lauren.

"I'm going on Happy House," Jessica said (it's a chatroom). "I'll see if Shean's on Heidi."

"Don't bother, he's dead remember?" Heidi said. "Apparently he died of Hepatitis C and a car crash." (True story, I had a boyfriend Shean and one chick said he died from hep C and some guy said it was a car crash).

"Oh well, find someone new," Jess shrugged. Brodie and Lauren were already playing on their computers. They were on Neopets (sigh).

"Heidi, hurry up and load your computer," Kristal said, trying to stop Aragorn poking the printer at arms length with his sword while Legolas tried to talk to a computer which was beeping.

"Okay okay, the story was called... um..." Heidi paused. "Don't remember."

"Well who wrote it?" Kristal said, kicking Aragorn to make him stop.

"I dunno, I never read these things," Heidi replied.

"Well do something!"

"I'll search by summary. I'm pretty sure the summary had "baby talk" written in it somewhere."

Half an hour of fruitless searching later, there was no sign of the story and Heidi was tiredly searching through every story starring Haldir and Legolas to find the right one.

"No go," Heidi sighed. "It's well and truly not there. Maybe she deleted it."

"Dammit," Kristal sighed.

"So we can't get home?" Araogrn asked.

"Nup!" Heidi said happily. "But you can stay in my house."

Aragorn and Legolas were exchanging worried looks, when Brodie said "what the hell is this?"

"What?" Jess asked.

"It's a stupid pop-up," Brodie said.

"So close it," Lauren told her.

"I can't," Brodie replied.

Heidi came over and had a look. "It's the swirly purple vortex! Dammit! Close it, quick!"

"NOOOO!" yelled Kristal, Legolas and Aragorn. Kristal grabbed them by the scruffs of the neck and pulled them over to the computer. "It was nice having you, say bye-bye to Heidi."

"Goodbye. Thankyou for your help in finding Frodo," Aragorn said solemnly.

"Don't leave!" Heidi cried.

"They've gotta," Kristal said, throwing them into the computer. They fell into the vortex, which closed once it had something inside it.

"How could you?!" Heidi said.

"It was for the best," Kristal said. Heidi glared at her. "My best," she added.

Heidi pouted and went to get some food. "They'll be back," she muttered, pulling the lollies out of her pocket. The swirly black and purple lollies...
