Ally: Hey. In response to a couple reviews we got about the last chapter,
yes, we know Gollum can swim, but let's just say it was a really really big
lake. ;)
Crissy: Hope you all like this one better.

*Chapter 12*
Merry and the CAT6 Testing
(In case you people don't know, CAT6 testing is a big test Californian students have to take at the end of the school year.)
The instructor leads Merry into a classroom of 8th graders.
"You will be testing with these students. Do what the teacher tells you."
Merry aqwardly stands in the doorway for a second, but then one girl stands up and points at Merry.
"OH MY GOD!!!!" she yells, "It's Merry Brandybuck!!!!!"
The girl and a few other kids run over to the hobbit trying to get a good look and touch him, while some students stupidly stay in their seats and wonder who the short kid is.
"You can sit by me." Says the girl who first recognized the hobbit.
As Merry sits down, he looks back at the instructor who leaves.
"My name's Tina by the way." Says the girl.
"So what do we do here Tina?" asks Merry.
"Shhh." Says Tina, "It's a test we have to take. The teacher will tell you the rest."
A teacher passes out the booklets while another teacher hangs out in the background waiting for someone who needs help.
"My name is Christine." Says the teacher passing out the booklets, "And this is Sue." She indicates to the other teacher.
"First, make sure you write your name on your booklet, and look and see that your name is written on your answer sheet."
Merry looks at his books as the teacher resumes talking.
"If your answer doesn't have your name on it raise your hand."
"Why do we have to raise our hands?" shouts Merry.
The teacher gives him a stern look. "So you can talk."
"I can already talk." Says Merry.
Tina leans over.
"Just don't say anything loud so anyone can hear unless Christine says so."
"Oh." Whispers Merry, "I see."
The teacher explains how you fill in the bubble of what answer you think is right, and they start the spelling section.
First, they go over the sample question together.
"Read the question silently to yourself as I read it aloud." Says Christine. "Choose the correct spelling of the word below.
A: Comfert
B: Comfort
C: Commfort
D: Comfirt
Choose your answer."
"I know this one!" shouts out Merry, "It's B!"
"Please wait for the rest of the class next time Mr. Brandybuck." Reproves Christine.
"Well I got it right didn't I?" asks Merry.
"Yes, you were correct. Does anyone have any questions?"
Merry raises his hand.
"Yes Merry?"
"Do I have to do this?"
"Yes." Replies Christine. "You may all begin the test." She looks over at Merry. "And please be silent. You have 20 minutes."
Merry rushes through the questions in 5 minutes, getting most of them right.
"I'm finished!" he exclaims.
Christine comes over.
"Don't do that. When you are done with a test you need to just close your book, and do something quiet." She goes back to her table.
"How old do they think I am?" Merry thinks to him self; "I just came of age last year. That's 30 years. Most of the people here haven't seen more than 14 winters."
Tina finishes her test in another few minutes. She gets a piece of paper and writes something on it and passes it to Merry.
He reads it.
"How does it feel to relax and not have to walk so much after that whole ring ordeal?" says the note.
Merry leans over to answer, but Tina shakes her head.
"Write it down." She mouths.
Merry writes, "It's okay. I am still a warrior for the king of Rohan you know. I take a lot of vacations though."
"I see."
"Time is up." Says Christine, "we will now start on the history section. Please turn to page 57 in your booklet and turn to history/social science in your answer sheet."
Everyone does.
"We will do the sample together. Read the question to yourself as I read it aloud.
Who was the most important person in the Underground Railroad?
A: Albert Einstein
B: George Washington
C: Harriet Tubman
D: Bridget Candice
Select your answer. So which one is it?"
"C." echoes the whole class excluding Merry.
"How would I know?" Merry sarcastically asked Tina.
"Go ahead and start the test." Said Christine, "You have about 90 minutes."
Merry looks down at the first question.
It says: "How did the world begin?"
Something there triggers Merry's memory.
The instructor bursts in.
"Don't let Merry take the."
The memory Merry gets transfers him out of the class, and back into his own time.
". History test." Finishes the instructor.
Christine comes over to the distraught instructor.
"How dare you interrupt the class like that!"
She leads the instructor to and sits him down in Merry's old spot.
"The test is there, and somebody needs to do it, and I guess you just volunteered. You have another 80 minutes to finish just this part of the test. Begin."
Christine goes back to her desk.
Tina looks up from her test and looks at the instructor.
"What's up?"
