Chapter Forty-six: End of the SUV

Dolly and Kate were loading the SUV with gear. They weren't staying another week for the double wedding of Aragorn and Arwen and Faramir and Mary. They wanted to go home as soon as they could. Since Tess was staying, the sooner they left the better things would be. But Emily ruined things for them by placing Merry and Pippin under the wheels and starting the engine. The two Hobbits were flattened and became ghosts like Emily. But the SUV kept going and ended up crashing into some trees.

Dolly and Kate swore as they ran down to the wreckage. The SUV was literally destroyed. It's engine was smoking and when Dolly lifted the hood up, the battery exploded, sending bits of plastic every where along with battery juice. Dolly was splattered, as was Kate. Everyone who saw them laughed.

But their appearance wasn't what had them upset. A yell rose from Dolly that contained all the anger and it target. "TESS!!!!!" screamed Dolly.


Tess saw the SUV crash from Minas Tirith. She pried Aragorn's fingers loose from her foot, picked the bottom of her skirt up and ran. Aragorn followed her. She raced out to the SUV and heard Dolly's pissed off yell. Tess took a deep breath before running over to her friend.

When Tess saw Dolly, she let out a laugh.

"What the fuck are you laughing at?" questioned Dolly in tone that sounded like a growl to Tess.

"You should look in a mirror!" was Tess's reply between laughing fits.

"Bitch."

Tess ignored Dolly and almost fell over laughing. Aragorn too arrived and began laughing like crazy too. Dolly glared at them then slapped her old best friend.

"Snap out of it! It ain't that funny!"

Tess glared at Dolly. "What the hell were you yelling for me for?"

"It's your fault that the SUV is wrecked! If you had been watching Merry, Pippin and Emily, they wouldn't have crashed the SUV and Kate and I would be home by now."

"It wasn't my freakin' fault!"

"Well I didn't crash the SUV!"

"And neither did I! Besides you can't live until nana and I can open the tunnel between the worlds. Until the tunnel is opened, you are all stuck here."

"What the fuck?"

"And I would have been watching the three if ada here hadn't had a mental breakdown when I told him what I had decided."

"What?"

"He is upset because I'm leaving—"

"You're coming back with us?"

"No, I'm leaving Mi—"

"You are leaving Middle-earth?!"

"No I'm only leaving Minas Tirith! I'm staying in Middle-earth but I'm going to live in the Wild."

"I'm confused…"

"You always were confused."

"Ha ha, very funny."

"I know, it isn't it?"

"Sure it is…"

"Well the SUV is dead," said Tess after examining it. "It'll never run again."

"What do you mean it'll never run again?!" yelled Kate.

"The battery's dead."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE BATTERY'S DEAD?!" exclaimed Dolly, enraged at Tess's calm statement.

"The SUV is out of juice. It's not going to run anymore."

"So we're stuck here? Stuck in this crappy place forever, unable to ever return to our home?"

"Not that that's a bad thing," said Kate as Dolly glared at her.

"HOW'S THAT NOT BAD?!"

"Cause then I get to stay here with Legolas forever and ever and ever and ever…" said Kate as she smiled at the Elf who quickly ran away and Kate followed him.

"This is just perfect!!"

"Oh well…" said Tess as she began to walk away.

"It's all your fault that we got stuck here in the first place! If it hadn't been for you we'd be in Ocean City or back at home!"

"And your point is?"

"You screwed us up and there is no proof that you are the right person! The tunnel might have malfunctioned and brought the wrong person here!"

"You need proof? I'll show you proof!" cried Tess as she showed Dolly the Evenstar mark on her shoulder.

"That's not proof! It could be sharpie!"

"Then do you wish me to kill you to show you I have inherited my ada's fighting skills?"

"No! But I wish that you would stop believing every word that comes out of Aragorn's mouth! I wish you would listen to us!"

"Why should I listen to you? I know you want to keep me away from my real family and who I really am and I refuse for that to happen!"

"I never tried—"

"Don't even start, Dolly! You are no longer welcome around me! Our friendship is over! Don't you dare ever talk to me again!" cried Tess as she ran off towards Minas Tirith.

"I don't care anymore! Stay! I don't give a damn anymore!"

But it was too late, Tess was gone. She had disappeared along the way to Minas Tirith. Aragorn ran after her but couldn't see her. No one could.
