Luuuuuurve all the reviews. Makes me forget just how scummy all the people who kept me from writing this earlier are. *grins* will undoubtedly name some of the evil creatures after them at some point – my rather pathetic way of revenge. Hmm. *thinks* may have to make more evil characters than I originally intended! Still not mine! On with the story!
Sun Is Shining.
So I set out. After a little while my hangover cleared and I was enjoying walking. I mean after all what could go wrong? I was in back in Middle Earth, the sun was shining and everything was alright in the world.
"Wait a minute…" I said aloud after thinking the last thought. "Everything is alright? The sun is shining?" I paused. A sense of dread overcoming me. "No. No. No. No." I stopped took a deep breath and spoke up to the sky. "You are not, I repeat NOT lulling me into a false sense of security here ok? I don't believe everything will go well – it didn't last time, why should it this time? So whatever it is you're planning to do just get on with it alright? Rain, snow, sleet, hail, whatever." I paused and then said through gritted teeth. "JUST. GET. ON. WITH. IT."
The sun stayed shining. Now I was very worried.

"Look," I said half an hour later. "its not that I'm complaining or anything, I mean this is a nice change and all, but I'm kinda well, how can I put this?" I struggled to try and think of a word that would not offend any deities that were actually bored enough with the eternal, omnipotent existence to listen to me, "Well, umm. There's no nice way of me saying this." I paused and took a breath to calm my nerves. "I'm suspicious." I confessed. "Everything went wrong last time I was here and now everything hasn't been too bad yet I'm wondering whether you lot are storing it up for me. Y'know spring it as a nasty surprise when I let my guard down."
There was no answer from anything.
"Well." I said. "That's fine. Good. At least I know where I stand." I stopped and glared up at the sky pointing up to it. "But don't think I'm letting my guard down for one second. I KNOW something WILL go wrong. And the moment I think nothing is going to happen SOMETHING will. You can't play me like you did before so don't even try." I smirked contentedly to myself. "That told them!"

The day continued. I slept peacefully that night. And the night after, and indeed the night after that. Incredibly nothing bad had happened to me. But I was still very suspicious. After all that had happened to me the first time I trusted no one. Especially not some whimsical entity who enjoyed messing me around for a laugh. So when after only 3 days of travelling towards Mirkwood I stopped and spoke aloud.
"Considering just how far away from ANYTHING Fangorn is, I think I made extremely good time don't you?" I queried looking up at the sky. "Very quick walking across Middle Earth. 3 days from Fangorn to Mirkwood. Very good time indeed." I paused and then glared up at the sky. "You don't think that it was perhaps a little too good hmm?" I sighed when I received no reply and continued trudging towards Mirkwood.
As I got closer to the edge of the forest I did not feel relief. No, I just figured that whatever was waiting for me was laying in wait for me in there.
I didn't know just how right I was.
Idiot.
