A/N: Oy. I'm terribly sorry that I haven't updated forever, but hey-I made that little In-Betweener thingy, so I don't see how you can complain...though someone has found a way...intensely stares at Kait LOL, sorry. I hope that this doesn't turn out too badly. The In-Betweeners were basically a way to get my juices flowin' again, so bare with me, kay? ;)

:Previous Chapter:

Nibspit knew that Elrond knew what he was up to. And then he thought about his worker. He immediately grew bitter with jealousy and dismissed the though of that man. His possession was the whole reason behind the portal projects. He had her. And he had sent him away two years ago, convincing her that he had died in an accident at work. She believed him and closed herself up. It was all part of his plan to win her. And in the end, he would have her. He had already started to change her. She was normally and quiet, peacefully woman, but after her husband's 'death', a small portion of darkness had formed in her heart. She was angry at the world for taking her husband, and that was what Nibspit liked. He thought about her for a while before he retired to his own personal suite located in another part of the building. (A/N: This guy is filthy rich...I hate rich, evil, lying snobs...)

Laura's room

Laura banged on the door and shouted for three quarters her worth.

"You let me outta here RIGHT NOW, BOROMIR!!! You hear me?!!!" Laura used her fist to emphysize each word.

"If you don't let me out I'll get you!" Laura cried wrathfully. How on earth could she be held captive in her own room by someone who didn't even live there?

Boromir laughed, trying really hard to not think about what would happen to him if she did get out.

"I'm sorry Lady Laura, but you are ill--"

"DO I SOUND ILL TO YOU?!!!"

Boromir thought to himself, 'Maybe in the mind...' and laughed nervously.

"Aragorn told me that he recieved orders from Lady Abby that you have quite a peculiar illness. That symptoms of denial and fits of rage were dead give aways." Boromir replied meakly.

There was a long period of silence before Boromir's curiousity was arroused. He put his ear to the door, wondering if she had possible fainted from hollering so much. He was instantly corrected and fell back from the door.

"WHAAAAT??!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Laura was practically foaming at the mouth with rage and bewilderment. Abby was up to something. Why else would she lock her up inside her own room? But what she couldn't get was why. Why did she put Aragorn up to the job of helping convince everyone that she was sick? She looked around her room and thought. As she looked upon her messy dwelling her eyes wandered to her Legolas blanket. Her eyes widened in shock and realization had rained upon her. She fell back onto her door and slid down to the floor, thinking, 'This is not good...' She could feel all of her wailing tolling up on her and she began to feel tired. She crawled over to her bed and heaved bulk onto it.

"Boromir," Laura's voice called out, muffled by her pillows.

Boromir cautiously tilted his head to the door and waited for her to continue.

"I am feeling tired just about now...I'm gonna power nap. But if you value Legolas as your companion in any way, shape, or form..." she paused wearily. "I suggest you watch Abby like a hawk."

Then Laura closed her eyes and tiredly thought of a way to possibly help Legolas...but first she'd have to get out of her room. Maybe Kait would have enough sense to keep Abby away from Legolas? Then Laura gave in to the fluffy world of sleep, sleep which she greatly needed.

::Chapter:: Yet Another Friend Arrives

Boromir's POV

'Oh my GOODNESS!! This girl is completely insane!! I don't know if we'll be able to last two more days in this house. Especially with that Abby girl...'

Boromir leaned back against the door and sighed deeply. He listened for movement behind the door for a few minutes and heard nothing. Feeling that he was safe from any sudden verbal onslaughts, he relaxed. While he was resting against the door he thought about many things. Mainly about his jealously towards 'Aragorn', but a few other stray thoughts entered his mind, such as this world, what things may happen while they were here, and how scary Abby was.

'Ha, at least I don't have it as bad as Legolas,' he mused to himself. 'Oh well. Maybe I could have some fun while we're here after all...'

Regular POV

While Boromir was plotting how to have his fun in this world and torture Legolas, Laura had slowly awoken and sat up. She saw a bulky shadow under the crack beneath her door and she crept towards it silently, her various dirty articles of clothing giving her the advantage of stealth. When she was right next to the door she heard the man snicker to himself. He seemed to be relaxed and had momentarily forgotten the slumbering girl on the other side of the door. Laura smiled mischeviously to herself as she slowly stood up, moved towards where the door hinges meet the wall, and slowly began to turn the knob on the door.

Due to the (sometimes) wonderful thing called gravity, Boromir quickly fell backwards and into Laura's room as the solid door under his back was quickly withdrawn. He gasped and before he could take any action he was pulled into the room by two small hands. Then the door closed and only Boromir's muffled cries and Laura's quiet snickering could be heard from the hallway.

Downstairs

Kait nervously chewed at her fingers as she heard Laura screaming her protests every now and then. After about five minutes Aragorn took her hand away from her face to prevent further chewing.

"Lady Kait, if you continue to bite at your nails you will surely reach the bone," Aragorn smirked.

Kait grinned sheepishly and blushed when she realized that Aragorn still held her hand. Her face began to burn and she frantically began to waver her hand, trying to get it away from him. She may be a crazy, rabid Legolas fangirl, but that doesn't mean that Aragorn didn't make her swoon and make her stomach flip. Aragorn stared at her in confusion, but decided to brush it off. He was quickly learning how to deal and sociate with these strange girls.

Gandalf began to massage his temples. He didn't know of any illness that Abby claimed Laura had, but quite frankly he didn't care. All he cared about was finding out how to get to Middle Earth. He sighed and reached inside the folds of his gray, weather worn robes for his pipe. He had been trying to quit, but these girls made him say, 'To Mordor with that!'. As he began to pull it out of his robes Abby walked in and crossed her arms, staring at him expectantly. Gandalf sighed huffily.

"Is there any place I can go to smoke this without offending anyone?" He asked and kindly as he could.

"Out on the porch out back." Abby thrust a thumb over her shoulder and pointed towards the back door.

Aragorn stood up and walked with Gandalf and said, "I'll join you."

That left Abby, Kait, the four hobbits, a sexy elf, and a gruff dwarf in the living room, staring at each other with no idea of what to do. Abby turned her brown green eyes over to Legolas and grinned, sending him into a state of uncomfortableness and uncertainty. Suddenly the dream of the previous night flooded back to him. He blushed madly and stood up hastily.

"E-excuse me," he stuttered. "I need some air." and Legolas strode rather quickly out the back door which Aragorn and Gandalf had recently exited.

Abby grinned to herself and looked at Kait. Kait was completely oblivious to what Kait was thinking, but she got a pretty good idea, and she really wished that she had some sort of filter or a block to keep those thoughts out of her mind. Then Abby caught her off gaurd when she asked for a friends phone number.

"Why do you want to know Becca's number?" Kait asked suspiciously.

"'cuz we gotta do something with all these people. We need people to stay over here and help babysit these boys. OR, maybe we could just send some off with you and Becca..." Abby started to talk to herself and Kait started to get up and walk away. Abby caught her and smiled. "I'm just kiddin'! But I do want her to come over."

"Oh great! Another wild girl is going to come over and torment us!" Gimli huffed.

"Shut up, ya ding-bat." Abby snapped and walked over to the speaker phone. Kait dialed the number and Becca picked up.

"Hello?" a teenage girl spoke into the phone.

The hobbits jumped and scurried away from the speaker phone.

"It talks!" Pippin wailed.

"Hello? What's going on?" the girl asked.

"Bec, this is Abby. I'm at Laura's. Can you come over?" Abby spoke into the phone and grinned at the hobbits expression.

Becca sounded unsure, "I don't know...wait a second. Who's over there?"

Abby giggled, "Oh, just a couple of guys."

"GUYS?!!!" Becca squealed. Kait rubbed her ears and whimpered. Abby told Becca that she'd have to come over if she wanted to know who they were. After a few short seconds Becca was worked into a frenzie and was running like crazy from her house to Laura's. In a matter of minutes she was ringing the doorbell like her life depended on it. Abby rushed for it, but Laura had come down stairs just at that moment and opened the door. Laura was shocked to say at least when she saw her friend.

"Becca! What are you doing here?" Laura asked and became slightly worried. Had she found out that the Fellowship was here?

"Abby, where are the guys?" Becca walked into the house, said a quick 'hi' to Laura, and wondered around the entry way. Laura glared at Abby suspiciously and before anyone could say anything, Becca screamed.

"OH MY GOD!!!"

She stared at the hobbits and Gimli in disbelief. The scream was so loud that it drew the attention of the men on the back porch and they walked in.

"What's going on? What's wrong?" Aragorn asked as he walked in.

Becca spun around and stared at them. Before she could do anything else she fainted.

Laura stared at the whole situation and began to muse to herself.

"I must have done something really really bad to deserve this..."

A/N: Oy. Sorry that this is so short. I just thought that I'd give chapter 11 a try. I'm really sorry if it sucks, but I'm desperately trying to get this story back on it's feet. Please Please PLEASE bare with me and continue to send me ideas! I'm probably gonna work more on the In-Betweeners for a while, so it should give you (and me) some time to get some ideas for the next chapter. Please send me ideas! I desperately need them! I am very thankful for all of those who support me. I am so grateful for you guys. Thanks!
