Chapter Four

As Carolyn strode back into the kitchen, her laughing actually drowned out the baby's crying. (No mean feat as you who have had electronic babies know). Kelsey and Jenneva looked at her questioningly. Carolyn just shook her head and kept laughing. Unfortunately, between the baby's crying and Carolyn's laughing, the cook was attracted back (from wherever she was) to the kitchen.

"Back to work, girls! You'll have to work another few ours to earn those beds of yours."

Kelsey took off her hoodie to smother out the baby, leaving only a tank top (and her pants, of course, those with dirty minds!) She grabbed a tray of food, as did Carolyn, and they both headed out, Carolyn still recovering from her giggling fit. The two girls both headed to a table with a rather large party, and started to hand out the food. Kelsey was handing off the last plate when she felt a rough hand slap her butt. She stiffened, and she and Carolyn shared a look. Carolyn was blushing, the same thing had happened to her. Carolyn saw the glint in Kelsey's eye and started to shake her head, but it was too late. Kelsey took the platter that had held the dishes, and smacked the trespasser right across the check (the one on his face, get your minds out of the gutter!). The man was stunned; he had obviously had too much to drink. Kelsey stalked back to the kitchen for another tray of food, Carolyn following. Both were livid with anger.

"Kelsey, you could have gotten us fired! Where would we sleep then?"

"He had no right! And you shouldn't just accept what he did to you! Those bastards treated us like they could do anything they wanted to us. I've got too much pride to let something like that go."

Kelsey turned, a pitcher of ale in her hand, when she spotted Frodo and the other hobbits talking to Butterbur. She was so excited, she almost dropped the pitcher.

"Jenneva, get your butt out here," she whispered. Then remembering the baby, she went into the kitchen and repeated herself in a much loader voice.

Jenneva came out, confused, when she spotted the hobbits.

"They're so cute! Can I take one home?

Carolyn came up behind them and pinched their sides to get their attention.

"Let's just get our work done so we can visit them!"

3 hours later.....

"How about this one, Carolyn in a gruff voice 'Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again'?"

"Its universal! And so cheesy, I don't know why anyone would use it!" laughed Jenneva.

"Well Jenneva, since you have compiled a nice list of stalkers, you must have heard some awful pick-up lines. Do share," requested Kelsey.

"Well, this one's kinda weird....in a deep voice Nice shoes, wanna fuck'?" This brought on gales of laughter, which went on for several minutes before there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" asked Jenneva.

There's no answer.

In a high voice "Who is it?"

Three's no answer.

"Who is it!?" she yelled angrily.

They're not sayin' anything. So she went to the door and sure enough, it was Aragorn, dressed like a hermaphrodite with a flock-o-seagulls haircut and only one nostril. (A/N: one name: Weird Al).

Well he stormed into their inn room and closed the door behind him and whispered, "Come with me to see the hobbits."

Jenneva squealed happily.

Carolyn walked out the door.

Kelsey followed Carolyn, then remembered her baby and ran back to grab him. In 30 seconds the three girls were following Aragorn to the hobbits' room.

A minute later they reached it. Aragorn opened the door slowly, and led them into the room. There were four sleeping shapes on the beds. Aragorn closed the door behind them, and motioned for them to go to a corner to talk.

"Now, what do you know of the hobbits and the danger the are in?"

Kelsey piped up first.

"We know that Frodo has the One ring, and that the dead kings dressed like John Burnett are ringwraiths and want to get it and bring it to their master. And Gollum escaped from his prison in Mirkwood and Gandalf has disappeared to Rohan looking for clues about the ring."

"What else?" Aragorn asked.

Jenneva spoke, "Sam is Frodo's gardener and they live in the shire in Bag Ends. Well Frodo does anyway. And-"

Jenneva was interrupted by a screeching noise. Everyone clasped their hands over their ears.

"And that was the wraiths screaming because the hobbits have slipped away," said Carolyn.

"Strider, what's going on?" asked a voice from the darkness.

"We have encountered some friends, Pippin. At least I think them to be friends," Aragorn said with a pointed look at the girls. They took the hint.

"Oh yes, we're friends, we want to help you, we can tell you what is going to happen so you can try to prevent bad things from happening," all three girls babbled, hoping Aragorn wouldn't poke them with his sword. It was a pointy sword. That burned with the fires of a thousand evils.

Aragorn looked satisfied. "Get to sleep, little ones. We leave early in the morning." "What about us?" asked Kelsey, puppy eyes and pouty lip mode on full blast.

"You three shall come too, and we will let Lord Elrond decide what to do with you."
