"Hey Kat, what are you doing tonight?" Jeremy asked I was trying to find my phone.

"Umm, not there, well, not there either, nothing I suppose."

"Well, there's some science show off your experiment thing tonight, and I wanted to send them back as my experiment, I also wanted to know if you wanted to go." I pushed aside another cushion on the couch and finally, there was my phone.

"Sure, but I'd need to get something to where, we still need to civilize them, and oh great, where's Jaycie now!" I looked around the room.

"ACK!! GET AWAY FROM THERE!" Pippin, or was it Merry I forgot how to tell, was very closely examining the electrical outlet. Forgetting that he was probably around my age, I scoped him up and dropped him on the couch.

"You aren't allowed to go around there, you could get hurt." I said in my best I'm the parent now listen to me tone. I must say it was pretty good for one so out of practice. Jaycie learned quick back when his dad was still there. I stopped that train of thought quick. I didn't need that. Pippin managed to look ashamed. I smiled instantly, he was just too cute to resist.

"Now where's Jaycie?"

"GET THIS BABY OFF OF ME!" I rushed into the living room to see Boromir and Aragorn trying to remove Jaycie form Boromir. Aragorn however wasn't really being much help, he was too busy laughing his head of, but oh well. Comic relief for everyone.

"Aragorn, you're doing it all wrong. If you ever have children, you must be delicate with this sort of thing. You wouldn't want to hurt anyone." I said as dignified as I possible could without snorting about how strange it was that Jaycie picked up no my dislike for Boromir. He always seemed to be to be too arrogant.

"Jaycie, say sorry." I said as I untangled the two of them. Jaycie stuck his thumb in his mouth and ignored me. Typical. Boromir muttered something under his breath, something that sounded awfully like annoying children. I was doubly offended. Jaycie didn't know that attacking people's hair was a bad thing. I was defiantly a bad example in that regard, Jeremy and I were always arguing about his hair.

When I walked back into the living room, the hobbits and Jeremy were watching TV. Legolas and Gandalf were giving it the look that made me wonder if the next second they were going to attack it. It seemed that hobbits had an easier time adjusting to this sort of junk. I grabbed the phone from Jeremy and called the salon that did my hair. Looking in the mirror I realized I might as well get my hair done too, it was looking freakishly frizzy, one of the side effects of my hair.

"Janet?" I asked when I got a live person.

"Oh, Katherine, how are you and Jaycie?"

"Wonderful!" I said grinning.

"Oh, that's great, last time you called it was to cancel because he had chicken pox."

"Yes, well he's over it and no worse for the wear. Well, I wanted to ask if you could squeeze nine men in without questioning their appearance and just let them pass off a little better in society."

"Well, of course, though."

"Classified work with Jeremy's job. And an you put me in too?"

"Oh of course, how is Jeremy by the way. Are he and Meredith married yet?" my voice hitched.

"No, Meredith died."

"Oh my, I didn't know." I nodded even though she couldn't see me. I numbly hung up and stared off into space, miles away.

Flashback

"Meredith you look beautiful!" I said smiling at my best friend. She spun around in her white wedding gown. It was an old style with a tight bodice and a many layered skirt. Her thin blonde hair was pulled into a bun with curls popping out form the top.

"Thanks Kat. I'm just worried, it's late and everything. Are you sure Jason won't mind?"

"Well, I'll deal with that when it comes up, won't I?" I said trying not grimace at the mention of my husband. Honestly the only thing he as good for was giving me Jaycie. I gave Meredith a quick look-over.

"Alright, change before Jere starts looking for you." I said. It was after all bad luck to be seen by your husband in your wedding gown before the wedding. It did not count since tonight had only been the rehearsal. We quickly got Mere out of her dress, and did it before Jeremy even thought to come looking for her.

We were all laughing as we got into our cars. Meredith hopped into the driver's seat with Jeremy as passenger. I grinned as they sent me strange faces before starting my truck. I drove home happily, glad to find Jason gone and Jaycie asleep. Everything was perfect until 10:00.

"KAT!" Jeremy sounded horrible. I wasn't expecting the call and was still slightly asleep, but I could sense the panic.

"Kat, is Jason there?"

"No, why, Jeremy, what's wrong, let me talk to Mere, she's calmer then you right?"

"Mere's dead. There was an accident with a drink driver we just identified as Jason. They're both dead." Jeremy sounded like he was going to have a heart attack or faint or both. It took a moment for what he said to penetrate my mind, but when it did.

"WHAT!" I screamed into the phone. I changed into more suitable clothes and drove through the rain to get to the accident. Jeremy and I spent the rest of the night at the hospital crying. He changed after that night. He spent ever night late at the office until he moved houses and even then he spent a lot of time there, or at my home getting some real food.

End Flashback

"Kat, Kat, KAT!" Jeremy shouted waving his hand in front of my eyes. I started.

"What, oh, sorry."

"Let's go, Kat." I nodded and allowed Jaycie and I to be lead to the cars.
