Chapter Six: What will be done?

Disc: AHHH! I HATE MATH!

A/N: Okay, you learn more about the girl's in this chapter. Though I'm gonna go ahead and give you a quick info thingy on their personalities. Holly's usually happy and hyper but she goes through withdrawals, and she's really into guys...not exactly good with this group. Tricia's emotions are usually those of the people around her. Though she sorta has low self-esteem and is very loyal to her friends. But if you give her sugar she bounced of the walls like they were made of rubber (Same with Holly). Rachel can be fun loving and happy but she tends to act more mature than she is or needs to be. She tries to hard to be thirty when she's barely sixteen. Can sometimes take charge and act like the leader, which can sometimes annoy her older friends. Ok...there u go. I want at least two new things about couples..o yeah...BOROMIR LIVES!!! AAAA HAHAHA!

Rachel and Tricia sat sorting through the luggage that had ended up in middle earth as well. Not all of the bags were theirs, so they had an interesting time looking through them. "Whoa! None of the stuff is damaged or even wet! Even my sketchbook is in perfect condition!" Rachel said happily. Tricia also pulled a sketchbook and skimmed it.

"Clean." She reported. "Hey Hol! You want us to check yours?"

Holly was lying on the ground a few feet away trying not to flinch as Aragorn patched up some of her wounds. Middle earth didn't have painkillers or knockout gas. So Holly was doing her best not to cry or scream. Though she felt a few salty beads run down her cheeks. Not one to tolerate pain all that well, though she usually put on a show which she didn't this time. To be honest she was scared out of her mind. She wanted to go home. She wanted to be back with her parents and sister. There was so much left unsaid and done. The girl knew she shouldn't think about these things, but they always worried her. How everyone felt, if she said something wrong or embarrassed herself it stayed with her. She still felt guilty for punching Aragorn and snapping at Merry. Would they be killed if they followed the fellowship? Could they keep some events from happening? What if they ruined the whole quest just by showing up? Holly grimaced as Aragorn began to work on the cut on her cheek. That would leave a scar. "Nah, just leave it. See what's in the other bags." Holly finally replied after shaking off her thoughts for the moment and concentrating on what was going on around her.

"Oh my god!" Tricia exclaimed as she dropped something to the ground.

"What?" Holly asked.

"Cool, our other stuff made it too." Rachel replied.

"You mean my sword, and daggers. Your bow and arrows, and Tricia's daggers?" The elder girl asked.

"Uh huh. Sweet. Maybe we won't get mutilated by orcs." Rachel said. She was looking at the weapons and thinking about how she should have gone after Holly right away. She was worried about her friend. Even though she was doing a really good job of staying calm and acting like she wasn't freaked or anything. Like it was all natural. Though she was glad of the opportunity for an adventure and a break away from her life back home. Even though it was summer vacation and her friends and she were supposed to be on a plane to England to stay the summer with a family friend she was overwhelmed with work and family problems. Holly seemed a lot more irritable of late, Tricia always seemed sad, and her dad drank more now that he was retired. She was already taking college classes and her mom always needed Rachel to do some job or another. It was beginning to weigh down on her a lot. If only the plane hadn't crashed.

Tricia looked at Holly and felt even sadder. She was depressed thinking about all those people on the plane. Did they make it? Were her parents worried about her? What about Holly's and Rae's? They would be devastated. Unknown to Tricia, Rachel and Holly had or were thinking about the same thing. Were they really going to become a part of the fellowship? She was afraid, what if one of them was hurt or killed by orcs? Holly had already been hurt and attacked. She couldn't bear to see one of her friends hurt. "I am glad to get away from home for a bit." Tricia thought. She had been feeling so neglected. Her parents never took her seriously and didn't trust her. She just needed to get away. Just for a little while, but not at the cost of her or her friend's life. What were they going to do?

That question kept running through all three of the girl's heads.
