Chapter 7
Gimli's Problem Solved
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Gimli began sleeping with a rock every night instead of his Teddy Beorn, long ago burned by Gandalf.
Gandalf was baffled. He didn't know how to get Gimli unafraid of the dark!
Soon they reached the home of one of Gandalf's old friends. Barbara Balrog.
One night, Gandalf slipped off to visit with his friend.
"..and I just don't know what to do!" Gandalf sighed audibly, and took a long drink of his herbal tea.
"Well," said Barbara, "Why don't I give them a good scare."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll come up, and say I will kill only people that are afraid of the dark, and then Gimli won't be afraid of the dark anymore."
"He could be emotionally scarred for life though."
"So?"
"You're right. I'll do that. You were always so good at giving advice Barbara!" said Gandalf
"I know, now, you better get back before they suspect something." Barbara giggled and clapped her hands. "This is going to be so fun!"
"I know." said Gandalf. "It will be."
And Gandalf thanked her for the herbal tea, and left.
When the Fellowship started out that morning, Gandalf began to act all figedty.
"What's wrong Gandalf?" asked Aragorn
"We are getting near the lair of an evil beast."
"What kind?"
"What?"
"Really?"
Soon everyone was around Gandalf, wanting to know about this mysterious critter.
"Oh, she's very evil, always cooking up plots. She likes to eat people who are afraid of the dark."
But, at that moment, Barbara was listening. She became angry at Gandalf's apparent deception.
"And I gave him herbal tea!" she raged.
Yes, she'd give him the scare of a life time!
She his behind a wall, lighting up the hallway.
"Quick!" she heard Gandalf yell. "The Balrog is here."
"Ai Ai! What ill fated luck!" called Legolas, as they began to run.
"To the Bridge of Khaz-dum!"
So they ran, and the all made it across, except Gandalf.
He stood squarely in front of her as she rounded the corner.
She roared, and even though Gandalf thought it was an act, he was scared.
"I gave you herbal tea!" she roared. "I gave you advice."
The Fellowship ran away, leaving Gandalf to defend himself.
Once they were outside, Aragorn leaned back into the mountain.
"Gandalf!" he yelled
All's they heard was a faint 'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'
"Oops." said Aragorn
"You're telling me." said Frodo
"Dontcha know what this means?" asked Boromir
"Yeah," said Merry
"WE CAN DRINK AGAIN!"
Everyone was rejoicing, until they figured out that they didn't have anything.
"Well, let's go to Lothlorien, from what I hear, they're big partiers. And have lots of cleaning products." said Legolas
"Wait," said Sam "What about mister Gimli?"
"I'm fine!" said Gimli "I like the dark now! The wonderful thing that destroyed Gandalf!"
