Chapter 23
All three girls stared around them. They were clearly not in middle earth anymore. The air seemed foul, polluted. And Rachel had disappeared.
The same choice was given to you as the rest of the fellowship. If you wish, you may leave the fellowship and return to your home. You must choose now, whether to remain in middle earth, or live in your home world. Your choice will be permanent. You have one hour to decide.
The three friends looked at each other. Galadriel had said one hour. Kelsey planned to live it up, she had an hour to do whatever she wanted with no fear of the consequences. Carolyn wanted to wash her hair and straighten it. Jenneva was the only one who contemplated whether or not to go back. After all, the choice would change the rest of her life. It required thinking through.
Kelsey started towards the sounds of cars, which sounded strange compared to the silence of Lothlorien. All those trees had muffled the sounds in the forest. Carolyn hesitated only a second before following Kelsey. Jenneva looked at her feet, before realizing that she had brand-new shoes on. She looked up in surprise and found that Carolyn and Kelsey were in different clothes, too.
"You guys, what's with our shoes? And our clothes?"
Kelsey spoke up after a moment of stunned silence.
"Hey, Galadriel probably wanted us to know what we would be missing, so she gave it to us. Nice tennis shoes. sigh. Hey, do you think we get a car?!"
Kelsey ran around a bend in the path they were on and squealed in delight. Carolyn and Jenneva shared a look, then followed. Kelsey was jumping up and down in a circle around a blue mini-cooper with a british flag painted on the top. A/N: drools
Carolyn started towards the car, but Kelsey grabbed a set of keys and yelled "I GET TO DRIVE!!!!"
So the three girls, shrugging, piled into the car and headed off north. After about five minutes, they came upon a mall. They parked (it only took Kelsey 5 tries to get it right), and headed inside. 45 minutes later, they all piled into the car, laden with shopping bags. There had been money in the glove compartment. $900 to be precise. They had each taken $300 and bought the necessities they would need to survive the rest of their lives in Middle Earth.
The mall had been of Galadriel's creation, for any store they could even think about going to was there. Kelsey had gone nuts in Cosco A/N: don't own, though I LOVE IT THERE She bought practical things for her life in Middle Earth. She had spent all of her money on pain killers, vitamins, toothpaste, a thousand boxes of tampons, and a few other random things she couldn't live without. And batteries for her cd player. And condoms. Just to show Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli what they were. Well not physically show,
Carolyn had purchased a battery powered straightening iron, along with tons of shampoo and conditioner, millions of batteries, and deodorant. Jenneva ended up buying every single Barenaked Ladies cd in existence, along with a cd player, and, of course, tons of batteries.
The girls also went to a bookstore and bought Lord of the Rings, in Spanish and German. They had decided that they needed the books as a reference, but there was a danger of them falling into the wrong hands. So, they got the books in German for Carolyn, and Spanish for Jenneva and Kelsey. Dictionaries were also bought, for the respective languages, along with an English one, and an elvish one Kelsey found.
So, laden with their purchases, they headed back to the car. They had all sent letters to their parents, explaining where they had gone, and assuring them that their children really weren't insane. They were going to an imaginary world, really, they weren't insane! Kelsey took the long way out of the parking lot of the 'mall'. She loved the car, she wanted to keep it. But she decided she wanted a certain hot sexy hot elven prince more...
So the three companions were back in the clearing where they had come into their world and hour after arriving there. They each held their bags close, so they would not be left behind. All of a sudden polled was everywhere. All three girls sneezed from the spores, and when they opened their eyes, they were back in Lothlorien.
Galadriel was smiling. They had all made it back to Middle Earth, and their shopping bags had come with them. Kelsey was still clutching the key to her beloved car. She sniffed, and tucked the key into her pocket for a keepsake. Jenneva was jamming to Barenaked Ladies, and Carolyn was questioning Galadriel. The funny thing though, was that coming back to Middle Earth felt like coming home.
