CHAPTER 4!
Thanks To:
Laura: I really think that you might be the only one reading this. I did write another chapter for you so... happy reading.
Molly: I don't think you read this. You said that you did and that it was funny. I know that you arn't a real LOTR fan. So I understand. I guess.
(The rest of you who might read this and don't review make me very sad.)
"This is so great!" Yelled Rose as she sat on a small horse.
"I know!" Agreed Kate.
The throng had been riding on their horses on the start of thier new adventure. Each of the members had a their own horse. Or in the hobbit's cases they were on ponies. Each of them seemed very happy to be traveling, except Gandalf who kept making rude remarks about the girls in some way or another. It didn't bother them that much though because they didn't really like Gandalf either. I mean, they had never watched the Lord of the Rings movies to see the old fart.
They rode down a small dirt road. Gandalf was leading the way. He kept telling them that he would show them how to get there, even though everyone told him over and over that they knew how to get there themselves. Kate thought that this was the only thing he might be good at. Sam and Frodo rode side by side behind Gandalf, each giving each other very happy smiles when they thought no one was watching. Merry and Kate rode next behind the others because Rose wouldn't leave Pippin's side. This event had started a fight.
"I am going to ride next to Pip!" Yelled Merry.
"No! I am!" Said Rose as she grabbed one of Pippin's arms as Merry grabbed the other one.
"But he is my cousin!"
"He is my love!"
"He is my lover!" Yelled Merry.
A very surprised Rose spoke as the rest of the group had staired. "I mean...no....of course not. He isn't my lover!" Everyone looked at Pippin.
"Well, I'm not," he said in his very cute little accent that should be English but isn't. After this Merry told her that she had won....for now. So he rode next to Kate in the rear. The group had riddin since the break of dawn and were moving their way down the road at a steady pace. Until they had herd the sound of hoves. They stopped their horses to get a better sound of it. The hoves kept moving. Everyone looked at each other in one of those cinimatic moments that would be shown on about one hundred comericals.
"Get off the road!" Yelled Frodo.
"Wot," asked Pippin who wasn't paying attention.
"Get off the road!" Frodo yelled again.
"Huh?" Asked Merry who just decided to listin to what Frodo was saying.
"Get off the road!" He repeated.
"What did you just say?" Asked Gandalf who was very hard of hearing.
"GET OFF THE ROAD!?"
"What???" All of them asked together, this time hoping to understand it.
"Frodo told you to get off of the road!" Sam yelled.
"Mr. Frodo," Frodo said correcting Sam, his friend.......or maybe something more then just a friend (Dum dum dum....)
It had took so long for them to understand what was going that they could see the Dark Rider coming from a far distance. In a frenzy they got off of their horses and leaded them down a steap slope and hid behind a large shrub. Everyone was out of site. The hoofsteps got closer, and closer, and CLOSER! Until they stopped in front of where they were all positioned.
"Those are Dark Riders," Merry said, informing the girls of what they were. The girls were a little ticked at the fact of Merry thinking that they didn't know anything about Middle Earth. Geez. They probably knew more about it then he did. In fact... they did know more then he did.
Kate wanted to be a smart ass and spoke, "those, my friend, are dementors."
"Wot?" Asked Merry.
"Dementors," she had said again.
"No... you see, those are Dark Riders," he told her.
"Dementors!" She said again.
"What are dementors then? Miss know-it-all?"
"Dementors are the creaters in Harry Potter! They look just like that," she pointed at the Dark Rider, "but they don't have feet. They fly!"
"Well, that's stupid! They must have copied that from this movie," Merry said.
The group started nodding in agreement at this. Each person was listing to what they had to say. The Dementor- I mean Dark Rider started to sniff the air like it had something suck in its nose until it rode away. "Few," said Frodo, "that was close!"
They had decided that because it was now very late in the day that they would set up camp and go to bed for the night. And they did so after the hobbits had their small feast. Rose had moved her way over to where Merry and Pippin were sleeping and she nudged her way next to Pippin with a large smile. Kate, feeling lonely had moved near Sam and Frodo. Sam started to yell at her, "Frodo dosen't want to be near you!" Frodo was sleeping next to him and the disappointed Kate went and layed next to her friend Rose in defeat.
As soon as daylight came over the side of the mountains Kate woke up everyone sleeping except for Gandalf. The fire was still blazing and Gandalf spooke to her, "oh I see that someone is up." His back was faced to her.
"How can you see me?" She asked.
Gandalf rolled his eyes, "for god's sake child! I am a wizard!"
"Yeah.... fine....whatever," she walked over to the fire. Even though it was summer out the air was still cold in the morning.
"Why don't you wake them up. Maybe Sam. He won't mind. I am shure he is ready to start breakfest for Frodo."
"For Frodo-?"
"I mean..... um.... for everyone," Gandalf said as though he had let to much slip.
She did as she was told and started to make her way to where she saw Sam and Frodo sleeping. As soon as she was arm lenght away she noticed that Sam had his arm wrapped around Frodo. He must have been keeping him warm, she thought to herself, how sweet. Then she started to panick, or was he?!
Kate gave Sam a nice poke and he woke up, looking around to see who had poked her. "What do you want?"
"I was told by Gandalf that you might like to start Breakfest."
A grumble came from Sam as he got up and walked over to where they had put the food. After about a half an hour of cooking everyone woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon. Merry and Pippin were the first to run over there, each with a plate in their hand. Frodo was slowly getting up and walking over to their direction.
Merry and Pippin were practally shoving their plates in Sam's face. "No! Mr. Frodo must eat first!" Sam told them.
"Why?" Asked Pippin.
"Because he is the ringbearer and he needs to eat first for his strengh," Sam informed them in a snobby way.
Everyone glared at Sam and didn't say anything until a very hungrey Pippin spoke up, "but he hasn't got the ring anymore!"
"Oh...right." Sam looked a little embarressed, "Well...."
Frodo now had a plate in his hand and stood next to Sam, looking down at him in a very loving way (scary huh?)
"Well, since he is here he can eat first," Sam ripped the plate out of Frodo's hand and piled a lot of food on it. Most of it going on his plate. No one said anything, even though they were thining very poorly of their friend at the moment.
After everyone ate they had started once again on their journey. Each one had gotten on their horses or ponies and were in the same order they had came in. When around two hours had past Merry spoke up, "well, look at the time! It's time for second breaky!"
"But we need to keep on going!" Said Gandalf.
The hobbits paid no attention to him and pulled to the side of the road to eat. A vain was throbbing on Gandalf's forehead. As they said they would, they ate their second meal of the day. "Ahhh... that was rather good," Pippin informed them. Each member getting back on their horses. They rode their happy animals and when two hours had passed Merry spoke again.
"Well, look at the time... again. It's time for luncheon."
"What!? You just ate," Gandalf spat at him.
"Yes, that was second breaky. It's time for luncheon," said Pippin in Merry's defence.
The hobbits took no attention in Gandalf and all moved to the side of the dirt road and started to have luncheon. Gandalf sat on a log the whole time, refusing anything they offered to him and pouting like a baby. The girl's didn't eat anything either, they just couldn't understand how someone could eat so much. After a while they had all started once again on their journey.
Everyone was excited and full of energy. Gandalf was sill having a hissy fit but it was really topped of when two hours had passed and Merry spoke once again. "Well, look at the time... again... again. Time for afternoon tea!"
"What!" Yelled Gandalf. This time he was really really mad.
"Afternoon tea!" Pippin said.
"I heard you! You idiot! No more stopping!"
Each of the hobbits had gotten off of their horses except for the two girls who were very scared of Gandalf. They knew that they had been busting Gandalf's chopps the whole time but they thought that this would top him off. Out of now where Gandalf threw and apple at them. He was trying to be all cool like Stider in the first movie. Pippin caught it, "what is this for?"
"Eat that!" Gandalf spat.
"But we are about to have tea! I don't want to ruin my appitite."
Well, in the end Gandalf really freaked out and forced them all back on their ponies and told them if they were naughty again that he would have to spank them. Kate thought that the spanking part was scary and feared that Gandalf would like it to much. Anyway, the continued their journey with another day expected untill they got to Riven Dell.
