"Come on children, don't be shy! They will not bite... Well, they may bite... But, choose an eagle anyhow! At least you little ones don't have the activity the seventh graders are doing: Riding Oliphants! Those do bite if you forget to give then peanuts. Now, before you go close to an eagle, make sure you are nor carrying seeds or seed bread, or worms." Gandalf said.
Grima grumbled as he took out the worms from his socks. "Don't worry Grima junior, I'll come back for you after I ride the big birds."
Merry sadly gave his seed bread to Gandalf.
"Damn it! My coat is MADE with seeds!" Eomer sadly abandoned his seed jacket, which soon after was eaten by the littlest eagle.
"Also, these eagles have a love to eat Herbal Essence shampoo. Please DISCARD all shampoos you carry, because the shampoo tends to make the eagles dizzy." Gandalf watched as all the elflings abandoned their shampoo. Except Elladan, who instead was fighting with one of the eagles for the last sunflower seed on Eomer's jacket.
"Now, all of you, select an eagle! Hobbits, you can all fit on one eagle!"
All the hobbits (Merry, Pippin, Frodo and Sam being the only hobbits) ran to the biggest eagle. "This is our eagle!" Pippin shouted as Sam crossed his arms across his chest.
Legolas took the smallest eagle, which was not too much bigger than Thranduil.
Haldir took an eagle that had yellow feathers like Big Bird.
Figwit chose the sneezing Eagle.
Aragorn chose an eagle that was big enough for two, so he and Arwen rode on it.
Boromir chose the scruffy looking eagle. They became good friends.
Gandalf told Elladan and Elrohir that two of the eagles were twins, so each of the elven twins took an eagle twin.
When everyone was beside an eagle, the lord of the eagles flew down beside Gandalf.
"Pretty birdie!" Eowyn clapped her hands.
"Yes, yes, this eagle is very pretty," Gandalf smiled. "And to get on to your pretty eagle just ask your eagle for a ride nicely. If they like the way you ask you will be able to get on. Don't be violent or they WILL fly away." Gandalf said.
"Can I please ride you, Mister Eagle sir?" Legolas asked. His eagle lowered himself low enough for Legolas to hop on.
"Can we all ride you, nice Eagle?" All the hobbits asked. The eagle lowered herself low enough for Merry, Pippin and Frodo to get on, but when Sam was about to get on, the eagle took off (being afraid that Sam would be so heavy that he would not be able to fly).
"This is fun!" Pippin shouted, looking as his classmates and Gandalf became smaller and smaller.
"Come back!" Gandalf shouted.
"I think we forgot Sam." Frodo said, now not able to see his classmates or Gandalf.
"Hey Merry, what's that big red thing over there?" Pippin asked.
"You mean that fiery planet?" Merry asked.
"Maybe it's a giant grill!" Frodo said.
"I feel like I'm a baked potato." Pippin sighed, unbuttoning his shirt as they got closer to the big red planet.
"Wait! I brought some books about planets with me! I'll look up this big red thing." Frodo smiled, opening his Planet Atlas.
"Hurry Frodo, I think I'm melting." Pippin removed his shirt and suspenders.
"Pip's right, it's really hot." Merry said, unbuttoning his shirt as Pippin let his scarf fall.
"Oh, here it is. But, it's not a planet. It says it's called the sun. It says that it will burn you."
"I always wanted to be tanned."
"It says... Wow! I think no one in the world has ever come this close to the sun before! I think they all burned up! Cool!" Frodo said. Merry look a jar out from his pocket.
"I want to keep some sun. It would make a good lamp." Merry said, as the eagle got close enough to the sun for Merry to capture some sun in his jar. But the jar melted.
"Aww..." Merry sadly said.
"Come back here you stupid Eagle!" Gandalf shouted as he approached the hobbits' eagle with his own eagle. Gandalf took the three hobbits off the eagle and onto his, and they flew back down to the top of the school.
"Because of THAT, there I no time for any more flying, perhaps next Monday, if there is the time. For now, we have just enough time to go to the auditions for principal Glorfindel's school play. Come children."
All the sad children followed Gandalf to the theatre were Glorfindel and a mortal named Simon were holding the auditions. And Pippin was indeed tan!
To be continued...
I hope you all liked the hobbits' trip to the sun. If you found it stupid, well sorry, but we have geography every day so now you get to suffer too!
Laer4572: Yes, I like that idea... As you can see, they are off to the school play as I type!
Haldir's Heart and Soul: I love my little Pippin, but some days I have to starve... It's for a good cause: Your entertainment!
Kathysidle: I want to make him a dumb blonde (and I will have to apologize to him for doing so) but I need suggestions on what he should do as a dumb blonde... Any suggestions? Come on, you've all heard at least one dumb blonde joke!
Draco's Daughter: Wrong message? I don't get what you mean. School is evil, I know. But my school can be fun sometimes...
Bberry06: Oh, thank you. Yes, apple picking field trip is very popular in the younger grades, reading The Hobbit at story time is fun, we do have a music program, I cant remember if there is an art class but if not I can work it into the schedule, we all could use gym (especially Sam), Gandalf is having a spelling lesson and just wait until you see what Denethor wants the kids to spell, if you go to chapter one all the school subjects the elflings will have during a usual week is listed on their schedule and of course snack time is of course needed!
Jamie Leigh: Yes that does make a difference... I go to a public school on a busy street.
Mistopurr: Thranduil is a good king. I feel sorry for Pippin, since I love him so much. But ever since summer started I've started to love Thranduil, Haldir and Elladan also, so now it's a big fight over who I really want. And a teacher at my school looks like Figwit/how I think Elladan would look... I still don't even know what he does at my school though, so I say he's just a wandering, lost, hopeless elf.
Other Mistopurr review: Ring? Sauron? No, that would never happen! Never would Sauron make a ring! Why would he want to do that! Why, Sauron is a good boy and would buy a ring at Wall Mart! I cannot imagine Sauron looking like a kitchen appliance in Mordor, making a fiery ring in Mount Doom and trying to take over the world with it!
That's more of a Sam thing.
Interstellar Hobbit: Yes, your right. It should say Elendil. Hmm, can I change that to 'Erestor', since now that Glorfindel is principal and Erestor works at the school, Glorfindel can finally get back at Erestor for being chased around with a frying pan!
SouthernGirl4615: No hard time!
Starlit Jewel: Next Gandalf class, when the eagles return. Or maybe in Denethor's class... who knows.
Lomiothiel: I like reviews. Big reviews.
Bberry06: Yes! I hate those things! Of course I can put those in! Make them suffer with evil open houses and conferences!
