They finally reached Bree. They came up to a towering wooden gate.

"Now let's see…" Caitlin said tapping the wood, "How do we get in?"

Suddenly a small square in the wood slid open making everyone jump. A man stuck his head through the hole.

"What's going on? Who are you?" He snapped.

"Four of us are hobbits, the girls are humans." Frodo explained, "My name is Underhill." He said giving the name Gandalf had instructed him to use.

"What about them?" The man asked suspiciously of Carolyn, Katie, and Caitlin, "It's not everyday you see humans traveling with hobbits. What are your names?"

"Uh…Fuzzy." Katie said quickly. Carolyn, Katie, and Caitlin each had a nickname that the three of them used to address each other sometimes. Katie's was Fuzzy 'cause of her frizzy hair, Caitlin's was Catt 'cause her name is similar, and Carolyn's was Link, on account she was very good with computers and a computer genius from 'The Matrix' was named Link.

"Catt." Caitlin said. She looked at Carolyn, expecting her to say Link.

"Ariana." Carolyn said proudly. Caitlin stared at her with an eyebrow raised.

"And what's your purpose here?" The man hissed at Frodo.

"We wish to meet someone at the Prancing Pony Inn! Our business is our own!" Frodo cried. He was getting very agitated.

"Alright, alright." The man said quickly. He opened the gates, "Sorry for the interrogation; there have been strange folk about; can't be too careful."

The minute they were out of earshot of the man, Katie turned to Carolyn. "Ariana? What are you, some kind of freakn' elf?"

"Well excuse me! I've always thought Ariana was a pretty name." Carolyn said. She folded her arms and smirked, "What's it to you, FUZZY?"

"Ah, touché."

As they came up to the 'Prancing Pony Inn' Caitlin tapped Carolyn on the shoulder.

"Hey, Carolyn? In the movie I don't remember there being any other girls here."

"Yeah!" Katie chimed in,  "I don't even remember anyone selling themselves to 'do the nasty' in the there!"

"Lemme get this straight," Carolyn said turning to her friends, "You're telling me, that we're going to be the only girls in a bar, surrounded by drunk, perverted, and possibly violent men?"

They both nodded.

"This won't end well." Carolyn sighed.

Later inside, Katie was laying under the spout of a barrel full of beer, with it at full blast, chugging beer as fast as it came out. Everyone surrounding her was chanting, 'CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!' When the first barrel was empty, a new one quickly replaced it.

At a nearby table, a waiter set two pitchers full of beer in front of Carolyn and Caitlin.

"Whoa!" Carolyn said in shock, "They didn't even card us! I'll have to remember this place..."

Caitlin tapped the waiter. "Are you sure you don't have any water? Just beer?"

"Yes ma'am. I'm sorry."

Caitlin sighed and stared at her pitcher. Carolyn meanwhile, was much happier about the drinks.

"Oh beer," Carolyn whispered with joy, "Sweet nectar of the gods!" She grabbed it and downed the entire pitched in one gulp.

"WOOT!" Carolyn cheered as the drunkenness took hold once again, "'NOTHER BEER HERE!"

"Did you actually TASTE any of that?!" Caitlin said in awe, as she stared at Carolyn's empty pitcher.

"NOPE!"

Caitlin was glancing around nervously. "Aren't Ringwraiths supposed to show up and attack us soon?"

"Naw." Carolyn said as the waiter placed another pitcher in front of her, "They'll try to stab us in our sleep, but Aragorn shows up and helps us out, remember?"

"Oh yeah. So when do we met Aragorn?"

"Don't worry, we won't meet him until Frodo falls over and the ring slips onto his finger-"

THUMP!

At that moment Frodo fell backward, as he did so the ring fell onto the index finger of his hand. He vanished completely.

"...Shit." Carolyn sighed.

As soon as Frodo became visible again, a man wearing a black-hooded cloak grabbed him and dragged him through a door.

"THAT WAS ARAGORN!" Caitlin cried, "COME ON GUYS! LET'S FOLLOW!"

"Can I finish my beer?" Carolyn asked.

"NO!"

"DAMN!" Carolyn swore. She turned and walked over to Katie who was still chugging beer. She grabbed her by the back of the shirt and started to drag her along. "Come on ya drunkard..."
