Part 2- The Journey begins
(Pippin begins to sing)
Pippin: Home is left behind the world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow, through the edge of night
Until the stars are all a light
Mist and shadow, cloud and shade
All shall fade, all shall fade
Merry: Let's go Pippin, you sing horribly any way!
Pippin: All right then, let's meet up with everyone. (whisper) Better then you at least...
Merry: I heard that!
(Merry and Pippin finally catch up with the group, everyone is waiting for them)
Arwen: What took you two so long?
Merry: I was stuck listening to Pippin's singing again. (Turns to Pippin) I'm getting tired of that song. If you just have the urge to sing, sing sometin' else, and do it when no one's around...
Pippin: Fine, can we go now?
Aragorn: Yes, we can go.
Legolas: Do I have to carry the ring?
Everyone: Yes!
Legolas: Fine...
Elrond (Narrating): Soon after packing, we left for Mount Doom. We traveled for what had seemed to be months, but were actually, only a few days. Actually not a few days, err, no, I think I have that wrong, maybe just a day or maybe even just a few hours...But eventually, three, counted them, three days had passed by...
(Everyone is asleep)
Aragorn: I am getting tired of leading. Maybe I should just go back to Gondor and be king. There I would be of more use, there I could lead Gondor's army and defeat Saruman's orcs...which could buy you all time, and destroy the ring...
(Aragorn leaves, while Arwen slowly trails behind him)
Arwen: Manke naa lle autien?
Aragorn: Gonder.
Elrond: Soon, night became day and all began to rise from their restful sleep.
Pippin: (yawn) Where's Aragorn? Eck, what's this paper I have stuck to my back?!?
Elrond: Give that too me! Those are the bills from the usage of materials used for this very play you buffoon!
Pippin: Ohhh, ok. Then what's this? It's a letter...from Aragorn...It's a letter from Aragorn! Everyone wake up! Aragorn's left us sometin'...
(Everyone gathers to read the message)
Elrond: It had turned out that Aragorn had already been on his way to Gondor. He was already half way there, but who is going to lead the rest of the group now, because of his absence?... Since Aragon had not decided to come back to lead, the group went off heading north and south, turning east and west... having no idea on how to get to Mount Doom. Three more days pass...
Legolas: The red sun rises, blood had been spilt this night.
(The group walks into a ruin)
Pippin and Merry: What happened here?!? And is that smell!?! (They pinch their noses)
(Clouds cover the area and lightning begins to flash over head)
???: Everyone stay calm! I'm taking over this ship!
Pippin: what ship?
???: Ha, ship? Did I say ship? I meant scene, yes that's what I meant.
Gandalf: (blink, blink)
Merry: Who do you think you are?
???: I don't think who I am, I KNOW who I am... I'm Captain Jack Sparrow! Savvy?
Elizabeth: Jack Sparrow! Do you think it is really that wise?
Jack: It's "Captain" Jack Sparrow, luv! And yes I do...
Pippin: (Whispers to Merry) This fella's weird.
Jack: I heard that! Do ye want to walk the plank that badly?
Merry and Legolas: What plank?
Pippin and Elizabeth: Yeah, what plank?
Jack: Oh ho, ye forget what I said savvy? Never ye mind your little heads. What are all you's doing in pirate territory anyway?
Elrond: Everyone explains what had happened over the last eight, er, six days. Then Jack Sparrow...(Jack: It's "Captain"!, "CAPTAIN" JACK SPARROW!!!) Yes, well, as I was saying, "Captain" Jack Sparrow, decided to help us on our little er, big, gigantic, and enormous (everyone: Get on with it already!!!!) he decided to help us on our quest to destroy the ring...happy? (Everyone: yes...)
(Jack leads them to Enedwaith to rest...while Legolas explores the area with Elizabeth)
Legolas: I never wanted to carry this ring...its such a burden! It's not fair!
(Gandalf watches and smiles to himself)
Elizabeth: I bet it wasn't. Deciding you the right when it wasn't your will, I understand perfectly.
(Some strange noise in the bushes interrupts the conversation)
Elizabeth: What was that?
(A strange creature jumps at Legolas but misses him.)
Gollum: They have taken it from usss. Yesss, my preciouss, we will gets it back.
Elizabeth: What is that thing?
Legolas: No time! Hurry, run back to Enedwaith with the others, I will be right behind you, now run!
(They both make it back to the group)
Pippin: what happened to you two?!?
Elizabeth: We ran into a weird, and rather rude creature. He's after something he called his precious, master Pippin.
Elrond: Elizabeth and Legolas explain what had happened, and Jack decides to keep and eye out for the creature.
