Chapter 2: Best Buy.
Okay. So it's only two pages long. More to come at some hypothetical later point.
Yes, children, I added another chapter. I don't know when the next one's coming. I have some kind of semi-permanent writer's block.
MEANWHILE...
Legolas, having seen Aragorn's trouble with the SUV, waited until a convenient moment to cross the parking lot. Therefore, he, Merry, Frodo and Sam managed to get into Best Buy without trouble. They were amazed by the automatic doors. "What manner of servants do these folk have, that doors open by themselves?" Legolas asked the air. Once inside, they, as expected, met with funny looks. "They are staring at us, though to what end, I know not."
"More like they're staring at him," Merry whispered to Sam, who ignored him. They were walking behind Legolas, and ran into him when he suddenly stopped in front of a display of Lord of the Rings DVDs.
"What is this?" he asked, in shock. With elfin grace, he removed one of the DVDs (it happened to be The Fellowship) and looked at it. He looked from the DVD case to Frodo, and back to the DVD case. "How do they know his face?" Then, he looked to the right of Frodo (on the DVD case)'s shoulder. "WHAT!?! That's me! But at least they got my good side." He grinned to himself. He turned to look at the hobbits, but they had gone, lost in the depths of the store. "Where have they ended up?" he mused.
The hobbits were gawking (as usual) at the array of digital cameras, TVs, printers, and other various technological apparatuses. "Mr. Frodo, d' you have any idea where we are?" Sam asked.
"I'm afraid I don't, Sam."
"Frodo, Sam, look at this!" Merry had discovered the CDs. More specifically, the Lord of the Rings soundtracks. "Frodo, you're on this-this-whatever it is!" He thrust the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack into Frodo's hands.
"What is it?"
"I don't know."
"Well, that's no good then."
"Do you know what it is?"
"You just asked me."
"Oh, oh yeah..." Frodo rolled his eyes at Merry. Sam, who was left out of this exchange, eyed his surroundings nervously.
"Mr. Frodo," he nudged Frodo in the ribs, distracting him from the conversation. "That woman has done nothing but stare at you since we arrived."
"Huh?" He looked around wildly, and spotted (surprise) a Best Buy employee, who was staring at him.
"Oh, my God! It's Elijah Wood!" She rushed over to him, a pen and a scrap of paper in hand. "You couldn't-just-sign something for me, could you?" she asked breathlessly, uncapping the pen for him. Frodo took it with trembling hands. He was intrigued by the ballpoint pen, turning it over and over, trying to figure out how it worked. The Best Buy employee watched him suspiciously.
"It's just a ballpoint pen." Frodo finally put pen to paper, signed his name -Frodo Baggins-and returned both paper and pen. She read it.
"Aren't you supposed to be Elijah Wood, rather than 'Frodo Baggins'?" Frodo looked at her confusedly.
"Who's Elijah Wood?"
The Best Buy employee looked at him, than ran from the store screaming "Elijah Wood's got amnesia! Elijah Wood's got amnesia!"
"What was that all about?" Merry asked. Frodo looked confused, staring at the door. Sam looked around.
"Begging your pardon, Mr. Frodo, but I don't like this at all..."
