Disclaimer: I AM IGNORING THE BOOK!! CHAOS ENSUES WHERE I WALK!!! I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! But, not in this chapter, its bad cuz I'm a bit sleepy.

Michigan is pronounced: Mish-i-gan. Michigan. Now that I say slowly, I think what kind of name is that? Oh, it's Native American or something like that. Did you know that 'Chesaning' means 'Place of the Big Rock'? Well, that's why we have Big Rock Elementary. It's king of funny when you think about. Place of the Big Rock. LoL

I now find my town hysterical. Thank you.

Chapter 41

Starlit Conversation

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

That morning I was woken up WAY to early.

But we were all leaving to where I didn't know, and didn't really care, what bothered me was I was leaving the nice comfy bed for the back of horse.

Sometimes life just ain't fair.

We all rode in silence. I don't think that any of us wanted this day to come. The day when we ceased being a Fellowship, and went on with our lives, and that I well, was stuck here.

Anyway, we arrived at Helm's Deep, and we made camp, because Legolas had promised Gimli that he would go to the Glittering Caves with him.

So I found what seemed to be a rather comfy place and sat down.

I watched as everyone talked.

I forgot to mention about the hobbits, Frodo and Sam were fine. They weren't at the top of my priority list, but I guess some people may care, so they're fine.

Everyone just let me be, and I was glad for that; I may have snapped at them I don't appreciate being woke up at an early hour.

Eventually Gimli and Legolas came out of the Caves.

"And never before has a Dwarf claimed a victory over an Elf in a contest of words!" Gimli claimed as they went around telling anyone that would listen.

"Let us make the score right," said Legolas "And go to Fangorn."

I climbed back on Aracaran.

I was in a better mood that night as we were riding, because the stars were so pretty.

I gazed up at them.

"Star light, Star bright,

First Star I see tonight,

I wish I may, I wish I might,

Have this Wish, I wish tonight."

"What is that?"

I jumped a bit at the voice.

"It's a poem, asking the star to answer your wish. Though, I haven't asked a wish of a star in years."

"I see. And what might that wish be?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why not?"

"Because, if you tell some one your wish, it won't come true."

"I don't understand."

I sighed.

"Neither do I. That's the way it's always been. But, I do not if it's true."

I turned and looked at Faramir.

"I think I know what you were wishing. If I say it, and its right, will that take it away?"

"No, just as long as I don't say it."

"I think you wished to go home."

A lump caught in my throat.

Yes, I had wished to go home. I mean, yeah, the quest was over; they didn't need me around to mess things up anymore.

"I'm sorry." Faramir said

"No, it's not your fault, I just miss my home."

"Where do you come from?"

"A place called Michigan, it's surrounded by water, except at the very bottom, where it meets Ohio, and the little bit of the U.P. that touches Wisconsin. It's bright and green, and during the winter there are snowstorms, that turn everything white, overnight, and it's magical, it's like gazing out into a fairyland, everything covered in a white blanket of snow…" I trailed off

"You miss it very much."

"I didn't at first. It was fun, a little vacation away from my family, and plus, I was with the people from The Lord of the Rings."

We rode in silence. I wondered where Eowyn was, but I figured she was with Eomer, or with Aragorn, or maybe Lothiriel, or Merry. I don't know.

"You could stay in Rohan." Said Faramir

"What?"

"Rohan sounds a lot like, what did you call it, Me-chee-ghan? You could stay there. It wouldn't be home but, it would be like Me-chee-ghan."

I giggled at his pronunciation of Michigan. "If I do stay, and can't get back, I think I wouldn't stay in Rohan, it would remind me too much of Michigan."

"Oh."

We rode in silence once more.

The stars began to fade, and the sun rose.

We had reached Isenguard.

SORRY. This Chapter is SO Stupid. Really. I mean worst I have EVER written I think.

Thank you Lady Moofin. And by the way, it's Trisher Nicole, Lovely name huh? Much better than her really name Trisher. But I came up with the name, Trisher's Phwch, and I'm Drunk Under the Table, literally ;). No, thanks anyway, I have restrained myself from A. Faramir, B. Eomer, C. Aragorn,....
