A/N- Sorry for taking so long, but with all the tests they're sending our way lately...yeah...lol.

Um...for the reviewers who didn't like it, I don't have much time to go into detail, but it's supposed to be a SPOOF. Does that ring any bells? What exactly did you expect of a spoof, which basically implies that it's not going to, and it's not supposed to stay true to canon, i.e. big adaptation in setting and events, different versions of the characters...aren't those supposed to be what a spoof includes? Also, you might want to look at the fact that it's put under parody and humor, so it's not supposed to be taken seriously. And spoofing is a legitimate form fanfiction, so yeah. Sorry if it doesn't float your boat, but I know other people like it.

Gary led Freda and Samantha down the music hall before school the next morning. "Come on," he said to Samantha, who was beginning to lag behind. When she had caught up, the ninth grader put a hand on each of their shoulder. "Be careful, you two." He said, seriously. "Mr. Saroun as many spies in his service: students and teachers. Never use the pen for the agents of the dark Principle will be drawn to its ink. Always remember, Freda, the Pen is trying to get back to the Principle. It wants to be found."

With that, Gary walked off and disappeared down the hallway. The two seventh grade band nerds eyed each other a little nervously, and began walking the opposite way.

When they had gotten to the end of the hall, Samantha stopped and looked back. "That's it," she muttered, "If I take one more step, it'll be the furthest away from our homeroom I've been."

"Oh come on," Freda said, patting her best friend on the back. "Remember what Bill used to say?" She began to imitate her older brother. "It's a dangerous thing, Freda, stepping out of the classroom. You get out into the hallways and if you don't watch it, there's no telling what will happen...."

Meanwhile, Gary walked down to the ninth grade hall and straight to the student mentor's lounge/meeting room. He was mostly calm, since he reasoned that Sheldon, the smartest and coolest of the peer mentors, would find a good solution.

Opening the door, he found Sheldon sitting inside, finishing his homework. Sheldon stood up. "Hey man," he said, high-fiving Gary, "How's it going?"

"Um...fine...but..."

"I already know," Sheldon said, "You came for my totally cool advice."

Gary nodded, but rolled his eyes inwardly. Sheldon really needed to lay off on caffeine, he thought.

"Well no problem, pal. Come on."

As they walked through the ninth grade hall, Sheldon began to question Gary. "So..." he said, "You're completely sure you found the One Pen of Power?"

"Positive," Gary said firmly. "All these semesters, and it was in the band room the whole time."

"But you didn't notice it. Your love of the band nerds has clearly slowed your mind."

"Hey!!!" Gary protested, "I didn't spend that much time down there. Besides, we still have time to stop Mr. Sauron."

"Time?" Sheldon asked, raising an eyebrow, "What time do you think we have?"

Sheldon led Gary into a mini computer lab in the ninth grade wing. "Mr. Sauron has regained much of his job stability," he said, as he logged in to his account. "He can't come out, but his will has lost none of its potency. Concealed in his office, the principle of Central Earth Junior High sees all. You know what I'm talking about- his huge hidden cameras that see all the student's actions."

Gary nodded. "Yeah...most people know about his hidden cameras."

Sheldon continued. "He's gathering an army of traitor students and staff to join him. Very soon, he will be able to launch an attack of unlimited homework upon all of Central Earth Junior High.

"Wait..." Gary questioned suspiciously, "How the heck do you know this stuff?"

"I have heard it..." Sheldon opened his IM account and joined a chatroom on his computer screen.

"Random chat rooms are a dangerous tool," Gary warned.

"One," Sheldon said, "Is it exactly a tool? Two-"he continued, "We're ninth grade mentors, for crying out loud. Why should we fear to use it?"

"Um...because we don't know who is hiding behind what screen names?" He pointed out the obvious fact.

Gary turned off the computer, and in doing so, he saw a flash of light-Mr. Sauron's camera- cross his mind.

Instead of glaring at Gary like he expected, Sheldon just started cracking up. Gary narrowed his eyes at the other ninth grader and mentally reminded himself never to see Sheldon again while he was high on caffeine.

When Sheldon had stopped a bit, he managed to choke out "You really need to get in the

swing of things, man." Suddenly, he grew dead serious. "Mr. Sauron's students and staff are already patrolling the school. The Nine football players have left the gym.

Gary's eyebrows shot up. "THE PEN WRAITHS HAVE ALREADY LEFT THE GYM!?!" he shouted.

Sheldon nodded grimly. "They've crossed the stairs and went into the music hall, disguised under their football gear."

"Oh no..." Gary groaned, "They're already in the music hall?"

"Yup, and the point is, they will find the Pen and beat up the one who carries it."

Gary spun around and attempted to run out of the computer lab, but Sheldon was quicker. The mentor pressed a button, and the doors closed automatically.

Gary spun around to face his former friend, glaring dangerously. "Since when," he demanded, "Did the coolest, smartest mentor of us all GO COMPLETELY CRAZY!?!"

Sheldon glared back. "No one," he hissed in a deadly voice, "Says that about the coolest, smartest mentor."

"I believe I just did," Gary retorted calmly, his fingers gripping the edges of his binder.

"DIE!!!" In a flash, both of them had pulled out their binders, and were engaged in a fierce battle with their thick binders. It was the ultimate battle of the mentors. Sheldon brought his binder down, but Gary blocked it with his and shoved it aside, and, swinging it, he knocked Sheldon back against the wall. In return, Sheldon shoved himself off the wall, and launched forward, pining Gary to the ground.

Gary glared up at him and flipped him off, raising his binder in a defensive stance. Sheldon picked himself up and the two of them charged at each other and met in a brief and bloodless tangle, ending when Sheldon knocked Gary's binder out of his hands.

Contemptuously kicking it aside, Sheldon smirked at his once friend now turned rival. "I gave you the chance of helping me," he said, pinning Gary against the wall, "But you...HAVE been dumb enough to choose," his eyes burned, "THE WAY OF PAIN!!!"

At those words, his friends rushed into the computer lab, tied Gary up, and locked him in the attic.

The Red Pen – It's been awhile since a review has made me laugh as much as yours did...in a good way of course. Thanks for the support, and I'm really glad you liked it. Thanks, and I do plan to keep working just how I was before 'Unbridge's Inquisitorial Squad' paid me a visit....lol....great way to put it, btw!!!

Kanimoto Thunderkin Riryoku- Aww....thanks :-D Btw, when are you going to update your extreme sports parody of lotr??? You should, cuz it's really good!!!

the-burglar – Thanks. I wasn't too accepting of it either, but I guess it fits with the time period and all, just not with a modern school setting. And you're right about authors adding in a little of themselves; I heard Tolkien based Faramir's character on himself. Lol...I can relate to reading stuff in the school library and wanting really bad to start laughing...sounds like you have more self-control than me, though. Thanks for catching the thing with Gollum/Geoffrey...I'll be sure to catch that in later chapters. (Remembers scary middle age math teacher)

The Daughter of the Night- Thanks!!! I'll try to update regularly

Blue3ski- lol...thanks!!! I'll try to update as fast as possible :-D

Earnil II- I'm not really following your logic either, because, I don't really see why it's that big of a problem...but that's just my opinion. Granted, it stretches canon a little, but it's only a fanfic, and it's supposed to be a joke. Sorry if I come of as kind of rude, but I'm not in the best mood right now.

Evil Bob- Um...(looks at summary) what did you expect of a SPOOF? And what does it have to do with me being a band nerd/musician?

Earmuffs- I hoped you liked this chapter. Thanks for the compliment!!!

Eileen- As I said before, what did you expect of a spoof? At least that's what I think was bugging you. You were kind of vague, no offense...

Anon- As far as I know, spoofing is a legitimate form of fanfiction writing. And I'm starting to wonder if you even read the fic, since it's not about the "fellowship coming to junior high" and um...where does Legolas even play into this? Btw...Kayboard? Methinks someone needs to check their spelling. (which reminds me I need to go back to fix up those spelling errors)

Starbrat – Sorry for disappointing you, but I'm not going to reply back with a bunch of swear words and stuff...sucks for you, I know. You kind of seem outnumbered in your opinion...maybe that's just me, though.

Princess of Mirkwood130 – lol...our school too, but I just have to remember that I was a seventh grader last year too. I'm glad you liked it!!!

Sagebrush Oakjak- lol...well now there is!!! Lol...I'm mostly over that fact that they took off my old one...twitchs...70 REVIEWS!!! ahem...ok....yeah...I'm fine now. lol, but anyway, I'm glad you like the Spanish to elvish switch. That's so cool that your taking German, but it sucks that your school doesn't have a band. Oh well...hope you enjoy being in chorus, that should be pretty cool too. And no problem...long reviews are the most fun to reply too!!!

Legolasina- I hope you don't mind if I answer both your reviews in one reply!!! I'm sooo happy you liked my story. (people rolls eyes...ok, I know I need to get a life...jk jk) That's cool that you play trombone!!! I wish you could come to my band, b/c we need more trombonists...or trombone players, or what ever you're called...lol.

Alania – Right...thanks for catching that. Believe me...I need more spelling and grammar freaks to correct me...lol, seriously, without you guys, I don't know where the status of my spelling and punctuation would be

Eagle Took- That's cool that it's like your highschool. It's like my junior high too, so I guess hs and jh aren't that different. I'm glad you think it's funny!!!

Irethancalime3791- Yeah...I know!!! I wish the admins would just let you be. I envy Sheldon too...it's so hard nowadays to be both cool and have a perfect GPA, lol. And yes, if I had the pen, I'd use it to get good grades and be good...shift eyes
