A/N: Hey, I'm back! Yay! I have Flu…icky icky flu. Not fun. Anyway, here it is: The Special 50th Chapter Mark and Nine Month Anniversary Chapter! Also, I'm thinking of breaking up the story, so the next chapter will be the first one of a story under a similar title, that way you don't have a 150-chapter story. So, yes, this is last chapter of Part I, stick around for Part II!

Chapter Fifty: The Very Special Chapter

"Hello, sir, can I help you?" Asks the desk clerk, whom we'll call Jim.

"Uh, yes, I think I rented out the hotel…" Denethor says.

"Uh...name please?" Jim asks.

"Denethor."

"How do you spell that?"

"There's a D, and then an E, and then a N, and another E, a T, a H, an O, and a R." Denethor says.

"Ok, sir. Here you go. These are the keys and this is the acess pass to the pool and workout room. Continental breakfast starts at 6:00 and ends at 9:00. The pool is open from 7:00 until 11:30, and the workout room is open from 9:00 until 12:00." Jim says.

"Can you repeat that bit about the pool?" Mary screams, trying to run over to the desk, but Faramir grabs her and drags her over to a chair. He sits her down as she screams.

"MARY!" Faramir hisses, covering her mouth.

"Sorry about her." Denethor says.

Jim gives Mary an odd look. "It's all in your room."

"ARRR!" Pippin says, jumping off a coffee table onto the couch (that hotels have in the lobby).

"Uh…" Jim says.

"RIGHT! Everyone get your things!" Denethor yells, as they all run out.

In the Parking Lot…

"Mary, do you have a problem or something?" Faramir asks Mary, looking into her eyes.

"No…" Mary sniffs. "Why?"

"Mary…you're worrying me. I think that maybe you need to, uh, stop eating apples." Faramir says calmly.

"NOOO! MY APPLES!" Mary screams, running over to her cooler full of apples.

"Mary, please." Faramir says.

"Fine. I'll cut back to 2 a day." Mary says.

"All right, fine."

They get their luggage and walk into the lobby. Jim gives Mary and odd look.

"Sorry..." Mary says.

The two walk to their room.

About 4 hours later, after everyone is all settled in and on about 3 different floors…

"All right. Seeing as this day is special, don't ask why, I think we need to go out somewhere nice for it. To celebrate. So, I made reservations at this supposedly nice, high class burger joint, so we're all going out there to eat." Denethor says. Everyone is gathered in his room.

"Sure, except…a nice, high class burger joint? Is there such a thing?" Alekey asks.

"Sure, why not?"

"Denethor, come on. A burger joint." Gimli says.

"Well, supposedly—"

"Supposedly? So it could be a little shack?" Boromir asks.

"Well, uh, I guess…"

"That sounds great." Mary says sarcastically.

"See? I have one of you guy's support."

"Denethor, that was sarcasm." Mary says.

"Oh."

But they all decide to go to the burger place anyway.

30 minutes later, at MacChimpy's Burger Jungle…

"MacChimpy's Burger Jungle? What, do they serve, like, elephant burgers?" Mary asks, looking at the sign..

"Welcome to MacChimpy's!" Says a man in a monkey outfit.

"Yeah, thrilled to be here." Mary responds.

"Maybe we should all sit down." Denethor says.

The group goes to sit down.

"Hello, can I get you something to eat?" asks the waiter.

"NO! I'm looking at the menu!" Frodo screams.

"Ok, I'll come back later…"

Everyone sits around, arguing about seating arrangements in cars.

"Ok, this is how it's gonna be from now on! Mary and Faramir get Mary's car. Boromir, Breck, Frodo, Tina, Alekey, Gimli, hotdogfish, Celeborn, Orliey and I get my car. Pippin, Kay, Annabel, Merry, you all get to pile into Aragorn's car, because we stole it." Denethor says.

"Really? What about Elrond?"

"He can smoosh in with Mary and Faramir."

"WHAT? No freakin' way!" Mary says.

"Too bad, princess." Denethor says. "You can't always get what you want."

"Now can I take your order?" asks the waiter.

"Sure." Frodo says. "I'll have a large cheese pizza, please."

"I'll have the Italian beef." Tina says.

"Two orders of Mozzarella sticks, please." Gimli says.

"I'll have a BBQ Chicken sandwich." Faramir says.

"Philly Cheese steak, please." Mary says.

"I'll have half a roasted chicken." Denethor says. "With a side of tomatoes."

Everyone shudders.

"We'll split a extra large cheese pizza." Merry says.

"Uh..."

"And I'll have a Patty Melt." Orliey says. (I don't know what that is.)

"Ok, I'll be right back."

The waiter walks away.

"Why is it we came to a burger shack and didn't get a burger?"

"HEY! I didn't order!" Elrond says.

"Yeah, us either!" Say Celeborn and hotdogfish.

"WAITER!" Frodo screams.

"YEAH?" Asks the waiter.

"We need 3 burgers, please." Elrond says.

"Check."

They wait around for 30 minutes, playing Tig and hangman.

"Hey! You cheated! You never tig on a tog!" Frodo exclaims.

"I did nothing of the sort!" Denethor says.

"Sure. That's why you said 'TIG!' when Pippin said 'Tog.'" Frodo says.

"You're disqualified." Merry says.

Mary, Faramir, Orliey, and Tina look on amusedly as Denethor sulks.

"Don't sulk." Orliey says, slapping Denethor.

"Ow!"

The food comes and everyone eats hungrily.

"Man, this is the best chicken ever!" Denethor says.

"That looks like chimpanzee meat…" Mary says. Denethor coughs and spits out the food.

"EEW! He just…eew!" Merry says, nearly puking.

About 10 minutes later, everyone is done and the waiter comes back.

"Can I interest you in desert? Peach cobbler, ice cream sundae, Apple Pie A La Mode?" he asks.

"Did you say…apple pie?" Mary asks, looking up.

"Yeah…"

"Ooh! I'll have some!" Mary says.

"Ok. Anyone else?"

"Make that Apple Pie A La Mode all around." Denethor says.

"Mary…" Faramir warns. "You better not go loopy."

"Loopy? I don't go loopy!" Mary says.

"Mary," Faramir says.

"Ok, ok, I go loopy."

The waiter comes back with their pie and everyone scarfs that down in about 5 minutes.

"Mmm, that was tasty!" Denethor sighs.

"Check, please!" Tina says.

The waiter arrives with their check. Denethor stares at the price and nearly dies of shock.

"WHAT?" Denethor asks.

"Hey, you said it was high class." Mary says.

"Yeah, but…still!"

"Oh, charge it or something."

So Denethor pays and everyone walks back to their cars.

"Ok, everyone know what car they're going in?" Denethor asks.

"Yeah, sure."

"Good because I can't stand driving with Mary any more." Denethor mutters.

"Yeah? Well you're not fun in a car either. Mr. Scared-of-everything nearly got us killed…again." Mary says.

"Look, don't fight."

"Fine." Mary says.

They all get into their cars and drive away to the hotel.

"Man, I can't wait to hit the pool! This'll be so cool!" Alekey says.

"Yeah…as long as Denethor doesn't show up again." Tina says.

"Hardy har har."

A while later…

"Man, I'm too tired to even go to the pool." Frodo says, collapsing on his bed.

"Me too."

"Who's ready to HIT THE POOL?" Alekey asks.

"Ugh." Tina says.

"Oh, come on, don't be party poopers."

"Actually, why don't you and Gimli go have some togetherness time?" Frodo suggests.

"Good idea! Come on!"

Alekey and Gimli run down to the pool.

"Ok. This is the pool?"

"How do you swim? It's as big as a thimble!" Gimli says.

"Smaller!"

"COWABUNGA!" Someone screams, cannonballing into the pool.

"AHHH!" Alekey and Gimli scream.

"Ahh! What a nice pool!" Elrond says.

"ELROND! OUT! OUT!" Alekey screams.

"Why? It's a public pool, isn't it?"

"ELROND! Me and Gimli booked the pool tonight!"

"You had to book the pool?" Elrond asks.

"Yeah! So out! NOW!"

"Well, fine, you meanie pants."

"Meanie pants? Was that supposed to be an insult?"

"Yeah!" Elrond says, pulling on his shirt ("Hot Stuff") and walking out.

Alekey and Gimli then sit outside the pool, laughing at their joke.

Meanwhile, with the hobbits and their dates…

"There's nothing good on." Tina says.

"Yeah. I mean, the closest thing to good entertainment there is would be 'Cooking with Emerald' and who wants to watch that?" Pippin says.

"Yeah, I know." Kay says.

"Look! Rugby!" Merry screams.

"WHOO!" Everyone watches rugby for about 3 hours.

With Mary and Faramir...

"Oooh! There's a mini-fridge!" Mary says, opening the mini-fridge.

"Don't you have to pay to use those things?" Faramir asks, watching some cooking program on Food Network and laying down on the bed.

"Not if I'm around." Mary says, prying off the thing that stops the stuff from coming out unless you pay (no, I have never robbed a mini-fridge, but I wish I could).

"MARY! That's like SHOPLIFTING!" Faramir says.

"No it's not!"

"MARY! You are going to be taken to jail one day."

"Not if I can help it." Mary says. "Are you watching 'Cooking with Emerald'?"

"Yeah." Faramir says.

"Oh." Mary says, sitting next to Faramir. "Twix bar?" (You can get those out of mini-fridges)

"Sure." Faramir says.

"Ok." Mary says, handing Faramir a Twix.

Soon, everyone is either asleep or watching some kind of TV show. Gimli and Alekey have been locked in the pool room because they didn't pay attention to the time.

Tomorrow, they begin the drive to Chicago.

A/N: Ok, that was it. Now, in the next chapter, which will be in the next story, we'll arrive in Chicago. I hope you liked the last chapter of this part of the story, and look for part 2 soon! As always, reviews are appreciated.
