Chapter Fourteen: Technology
Disc: hehehe...blank stares.
A/N: sorry I haven't updated in a while..stuff going on.
"So.what is it like where you come from?" Pippin asked the girl's when they returned from their daily bath.at least that's what the others figured they were doing.
"A lot like Middle Earth.but we're.more technically advanced." Rachel replied.
"Yeah, also we have a lot more oceans than you guys do. Though more cities too.we've become too industrialized in my opinion." Tricia stated. Holly nodded.
"You have seen an Ocean?" Legolas asked with a hint of excitement in his voice. The girl's nodded.
"My parents are buying a house near one soon. Also we were flying over one when our plane crashed and we ended up here." Rachel said.
"Flying? Plane?" Merry said confused.
"Well, a plane is a machine that people can travel in. Basically it flies.not exactly sure how to explain how it does it though because I've never quite understood it either. O well.as long as you know what it does. I personally hate flying in planes.and the fact that we crashed makes me like it less." Holly said.
"That's because you're afraid of heights." Tricia teased. Holly blushed.
"So? Everyone is afraid of something.I just happen to be afraid of heights." The blonde mumbled. "Anyway.all three of us come from a fairly rural area. Wealthy middle class for the most part. We've been friends since.the sixth grade?" Holly asked. Her friends nodded in conformation.
"Grade?" Gimli asked. The three girls sighed in agitation.this was going to take a while.
"School grades. When we start school we're in the first grade.then second, third, fourth, etc. It goes up to the twelfth grade. We're going to be in the Eleventh grade next year.right now we're on summer vacation." Rachel explained.
"So.you must come from noble families to be schooled." Aragorn said.
"No, everyone has to go to school. It's the law. Though there are those who drop out and ruin their life. We run on quite a different government than you do." Tricia stated.
"Who rules you?" Boromir asked.
"Whoever we choose. We elect a temporary ruler who basically controls certain parts of the society for four years.though if we don't like the job he's doing we can kick him out. We run on a democracy. Which basically means that the people that live in the country control what goes on but we have an elected official who represents our decisions to other countries.or as you would say kingdoms though there are very few kings anymore." The elder girl said. The Hobbits had given up listening except for Frodo. The Humans tried to comprehend how they could function without a king. Gandalf just nodded, understanding fully. Legolas contemplated this information, and Gimli just stared blankly at them.
"You're world is very complicated." Gimli stated.
"Tell me about it. I personally don't care about the government as long as they are not putting cameras in my house." Holly said. Again..blank stares. Holly sighed and pulled out her digital video camera. "Here. Look at the round glass." Holly commanded. She aimed the device at them and waited a few minutes.
"What are you doing?" Merry asked as he got right in the camera's lens. Holly pulled away and pressed some buttons.
"Here, look." She said as she bent down to Merry. She pressed a button that had a green arrow on it. Suddenly Merry saw himself on the small screen. He moved and talked.
"Amazing! It captures and repeats movements that we've made." Boromir exclaimed. Holly then showed them how to work it then proceeded to show them how a digital camera worked. Rachel and Tricia looked at each other both wondering if their friend's actions were wise. Though they both figured that if the fellowship ever told anyone.that the person would think that they were mad, or drunk.
