Chapter 30: The bus has broken down!

Celeborn's class was quite the dull class (just like expected). Celeborn liked to talk about 'in his days' (the days when there was no McHobbits). By the end of the day all the little children dreaded next Wednesday when they would be having classes such as this again.

When all the children of every age raced outside they where shocked to see bus driver Thorin and Erestor outside, blocking the entrance to the bus.

"Children! Children! Settle down!" Erestor yelled, but he failed to get their attention.

Fingolfin decided that he knew exactly how to get the rowdy elflings to be quiet.

"Shut up or I'll call my brother Feanor over!" Fingolfin shouted. All the elflings quieted down.

"Our bus has broken down and is in dire states. No one will be able to get home on the bus today, so all of your parents will be called to pick you up." Erestor announced. Thorin just stood there, looking grim.

"And no student is permitted to leave the schoolyard no matter what way of transportation they use." Fingolfin added.

"But what if we travel by horse?" Illiendal asked.

"That does not matter. Your father will be called to come and get you and your brother." Erestor said.

All the children went off to play in the schoolyard, since there was naught much else to do. Whenever a parent would arrive the child or children who the parent was here to collect would be called up to the entrance of the schoolyard from the intercom.

"I hope my ada can come. He's busy lots." Legolas said. Haldir nodded.

"My ada is busy with my nana and my little brother a lot, but I know he'll come, he would not leave me." Haldir told his friend.

Boromir was hanging out with the 'cool' group (at least, it was the cool group in Boromir's little mind), which contained Leafy the feather, Black Dot the ant, Dirt the rock and Fluffy the dead caterpillar. Boromir was very sad very often because Leafy, Black Dot, Dirt and Fluffy never talked. Boromir had also been heartbroken when a bird had taken one of the former members of his cool group, Leo the piece of Granola Bar, away, far away and possibly had eaten Leo.

Teachers where scattered all over the schoolyard trying to tame the children, already there was a long list of misbehavior caught by teachers:

Estel spray-painted 'I am king' on the school wall.

The twins (Elladan and Elrohir) ate some worms in front of some hobbits, making hobbits vomit.

Pippin vomited on himself.

Sam vomited on himself.

Frodo vomited on the ground.

Merry vomited on Pippin.

Some crazy ladies calling themselves 'fans' had tried to run into the schoolyard to get to Legolas, but where prevented by Erestor, so ran off with Gimli by accident.

Crazy ladies returned Gimli, but Gimli was covered in lipstick and smelt like watermelon.

Denethor was throwing tomatoes at Pippin for unknown reasons.

Boromir was caught making out with a dead caterpillar he was calling Fluffy.

Merry shot a rock at a foreign exchange student, Loch the creepy Sea-Monster who resided near Moria most of his childhood.

Sernaer tried to escape from the schoolyard

Illiendal tried to follow Sernaer in escaping

Erestor was disgusted by the misbehavior, although it was not too bad so far (but when Erestor had caught Boromir making out with the dead bug, he was just plain scared). Erestor wished he could just go home and cuddle up with his wife who would probably nag him about no cleaning the basement or spending so much time away from home or questioning him about having affairs with Glorfindel.

"Baggins, Frodo, your parent or guardian is here." Announced Erestor in a very bored tone. Frodo waved goodbye and ran off to see Bilbo.

Before Frodo left, he whispered quietly to Erestor, "This is not my parent or guardian, this is my Bilbo."

"Brandybuck, Meriadoc, your parent or-

"COMING!" Merry screamed, running forwards, pushing anyone who was in his way out of the way.

"Took, Pere-

"IT'S PIPPIN!" Pippin screamed as he ran forwards, just in time to see Merry off and leave with his own father.

That left only two hobbits left in the yard, Sam and Rosie (and Billy Bob, but people had started questioning if he was actually a hobbit).

"Hello." Sam whispered to Rosie…

Meanwhile, Tom waddled around. He had such stout legs and was so overweight that he could not walk very well at all. Goldberry was very pleased with Tom, who was apparently her boyfriend, but others mocked him, especially the new students from Mordor.

"Aw, look at the chubby little baby! Watch him Waddle!" An Uruk-Hair stated, laughing.

"Waddle! Waddle! Waddle Waddle Waddle!" Tom repeated. Apparently he spoke not much English. In Tom's mind from what he had heard during his day at school, these where the English words he had learnt and their meaning:

Waddle Walk

Stupid Look

Fat Handsome/What Tom looks like

Lunch Eat

Celeborn (a very not nice word)

L'Oreal Elf

Idiot Father

Lame Late

Herbal Essences Elf (perhaps this is another type of elf, in Tom's mind)

Hobbit Short

Office Bad

Tom had clearly not learnt very much, for just recently when trying to say to Boromir 'Look, handsome short elf eats' Tom had said, "Stupid , fat hobbit herbal essences lunch!"

In a very short time, most of the students' parents had arrived and taken their children home. Legolas still remained, as did his sister, Haldir, Sernaer, Tom, Mini Nazgul, Radagast, Boromir, Sam, Rosie, Figwit, Sauron and Gimli.

"Could the remaining thirteen students all please come to the front." Erestor said over the intercom. The children did as they where told.

"Alright, I will call your name and you will tell me if you know why your parent is not here yet. Thranduilion and Thranduiliel, why has your father yet to arrive?" Erestor asked Legolas and his sister. Both shrugged.

"It may have something to do with the fact that he is a great yet very busy king." Illiendal said.

"Okay then. Aradhelion, Haldir?"

"He will be here soon, I know he will." Haldir said.

"Feredion, Sernaer?"

"I think my sister will come get me eventually." Sernaer said.

"Bombadil, Tom?"

"Office idiot lame." Tom said. Erestor took that as an insult, as if Tom had been calling Erestor an office idiot who was lame, not knowing that Tom had mean to say Bad father late.

"Hrm, yes, I will have a talk with your guardian about your… colorful language… When they arrive. Oh boy…" Erestor muttered when he saw the next name on his list.

"Nazgul, Mackenzie Ian Norberto Immanuel Arthur Terry Uriel Ray Eliseo?"

"I don't have a parent, well, I do in Mordor but while I am here my caretaker is Saruman and he will certainly not come for me." Mini Nazgul, or Mackenzie, said.

"Alright. Wizard, Radagast?"

"I have no parent or guardian at all." Radagast admitted.

"Gandalf can bring you and Mr.Nazgul home. Son of Denethor, Boromir?"

"Oh, here I am! Almost forgot!" Denethor ran through, grabbed Boromir and ran off.

"Okay… Gamgee, Samwise?"

"My father is quite old, if you get my meaning, so he might be a tad bit late." Sam admitted. Giggles came from Sauron.

"Alright, Cotton, Rosie?"

"I don't know what's taking pa, he should have been here by now." Sam seemed to be in a fantasy world as Rosie spoke with her gentle, caring voice.

"Alright, Melpomaen?"

"My… guardian… Is… Well… I don't know where he is. I might be here for a while." Figwit shrugged sadly.

"Sauron?"

"I have no master! I am my own master!" Sauron boomed. Only Illiendal had the courage to roll her eyes at him.

"Son of Gloin, Gimli?"

"Coming! Coming! Wait! Coming!" Gloin puffed, running as fast as he could (which was very slowly) to the schoolyard, claiming Gimli and leaving.

Now only eleven remained. As time went by Tom left, and ten remained.

"Oh, there is my father. I hope your father arrives shortly, I would offer to bring you home with me but your little brother might cause a problem." Sernaer said, giving his friend a quick kiss on her cheek and a tight embrace before running off to get to his father.

After Sernaer left there was nine remaining students. Figwit's guardian claimed him and left, and Gandalf brought Radagast and Mini home, now making the total remaining students seven. Erestor was asleep on the ground by now.

"So, now you cannot possibly be doing anything tonight, I mean, we are stuck at school. Why not have our dates here?" Sauron said, trying to be better looking than Sernaer as much as possible (but he surly failed that).

"No, I have to keep watch on my brother."

"Your brother? Ha!" Sauron kicked Legolas' rear, Legolas yelping a little "Oof!" and falling on his chest on the ground.

"There, not much damage he can do to himself there!" Sauron said.

"You hurt him! When you are older you'll be nothing but evil!" Illiendal ran to her little brother's side.

"I know, thank you for noticing that!" Sauron said, smiling (though it was not easy to tell since he DID look like a kitchen appliance.

"Legolas, brother, are you alright?" Illiendal pulled her little brother up on his feet. Legolas was crying and his cheek was scraped and his nose was bleeding.

"Oh Legolas, come." Illiendal opened her arms and her little brother ran into them, wiping the blood that came from his nose onto his sister's sleeve. Eventually, Legolas, Illiendal and Haldir were the only remaining children.

Haldir's father Arhael came into the schoolyard quickly.

"Oh ion I am so sorry I am late!" Arhael said, giving his son a hug. Arhael then noticed Legolas, who was now weeping for a different reason.

"What's the matter, child?" Arhael asked.

"My ada is not here yet." Legolas whispered.

"I know your father, I can bring you both home if you like." Arhael said. Legolas' face lit up and he smiled happily.

"Yes please!" Legolas jumped up out of his sister's arms. Legolas, his sister, Haldir and Arhael all left the schoolyard, first stop Mirkwood.

To be continued…

I'm sorry it's been so long since my last update!

Mistopurr: Legolas is a smart little shrimp; I mean elfling, isn't he?

Gods-Girl2004: Someone whose penname is gods-girl actually laughed at Saruman's death, how cruel. Well, I laughed too, so I can't blame you! But I don't see why Legolas shot Grima, the meanie!

Manwathiel: Imaginations are fun. I have a big one because I am special.

Bberry06: if you read the reviews of chapter 19 there is many reviews that wish you a merry Christmas. Still sorry.

Haldir's Heart and Soul: Like I said to Mistopurr, Legolas is a smart little shrimp.

Rainbow fish: Did you see the shire set? Is the shire set still up?

Mesozoic Flower: Legolas chewed it but Haldir is more precautions then that (do you know how many germs are in that gum? Some of that gum had been stuck there since the first age!)

Laer4572: I hope this chapter made you laugh.

Moonlit-leaf: Merry late Christmas to you too!

Here comes the hockey puck: P1? What's that?
