Hi! I'm back! With chapter two of… Insanity is Fun! But I've changed my pen-name to Silverythm. So…let's start with the disclaimer claiming that I don't own Lord of the Rings. I realized I forgot to disclaim in the last chapter.
Review time!
Liang- Yo girl! Oi you, update our fic la. Aiyo.
DRUNKEN LANDLORD- Thanks!
Lady Alyx- Thanks! But about writing more…I have this tendency to look at my computer screen and go, "Nah, I don't feel like writing today."
Kermit- Thank you, thank you. Oh and what's fanbratic?
Madd Hatter- Thanks you!
Dark-Sylph- Thanks, but did you know, my old version of this story was sort of like a Mary sue. The girls had elemental powers but the thing was that the girls didn't fall in love with any of the fellowship. In fact, they tortured the fellowship like for example the girl that had fire as her element; she burnt Legolas's hair. HA!
Fade- Thanks fade!
Emma Watson Rules- I'll try.
Drow Maidens- Thanks!
BelleDayNight- Ah well, if Lord of the Rings happened in the past, then…maybe the girls were the creators of the 'look up' trick.
SQUEE- Yes I quite agree, after all his kind of complexion would only be expected from a woman.
The Great White Emu- Thanks…I like it too.
Well, now that the reviews are over…I bring you…chapter 2!
Insanity is Fun!
Chapter 2
Last time…
Upon seeing our blades, one of them started to wail loudly hid behind her friend. The one she hid behind suddenly shouted while pointing up, surprised and curious, all of us looked up as well only to see nothing. So, we looked down again only to find that the girls had gone missing.
Now…
"Oh gosh… I can't run anymore," panted Leannex as she leaned against a tree for support.
The forest floor was uneven and filled with booby traps waiting to ensnare the unsuspecting victim, namely our klutzy quartet. Already Robin had tripped over a few logs and branches. All of their school uniforms were torn after being caught in vicious thorns and briars. Their school bags hung limply from their shoulders as they all stopped to take a breath. They had just run about eight hundred meters, which was about four rounds around their school track. Normally during their physical education class, when they were asked to run the track, they would jog until their teacher was out of sight then start walking until their teacher came back. At the same time, they would walk very slowly so as to be able to skip a few rounds. So running non-stop for that "short distance" was really a challenge for them.
"Guys, come here, you've got to see this!" cried out Claire from her stop on the top of the hill they were on.
Robin got up from washing her scratches given by the previously mentioned thorns in the river to check out what Claire was talking about. Leona who was checking to see if her homework was damaged went to see what was so great that it left Robin, Leannex and Claire there with their mouths wide open. She stopped and gasped as well. Down in the valley was the most beautiful city they had ever seen; much like the ancient city of Babylon, green littered the quaint little town, well actually it was more like a kingdom, in the valley while water flowed through it like many silver treads. It was like a picture from an art gallery, like that ones you find with fluffy white clouds, bright sunshine, clear blue skies, and rainbows, yeah you know, those. Sadly however, they were pulled out of their daze when they heard hurried footsteps behind them signaling the arrival of the weird 'people' from before. And as quick as they could, the girls ran for cover under some bushes.
"Shhhh," shushed Leona as the girls settled down into the bush. Funny thing was, the people that showed up, they were not the weird group from before, but instead they were two men on horses.
The girls whispered many 'shushes' and 'keep quiets' . Unfortunately, their whispering was apparently not soft enough.
"Who goes there?" asked the unknown man as he surveyed the area.
"What are you doing? I told you to shut up!" whispered Leona in a rather…loud voice.
"Ok! Ok! We're shutting up!" the girls 'whispered' back angrily.
By this time the man and his friend had already found the girls due to their 'whispering' and were observing the scene before them.
Back to the fellowship
When we looked down, the girls were gone! But thankfully, with Aragorn's excellent training in tracking, we were able to find out that the girls were headed toward the direction of Rivendell. Whether this was a good thing or not, we did not know. If the girls were not supporting Dark Lord, then it was probably a good thing that they were headed to Rivendell as first, they were females with the IN-capability to protect themselves and two, we did not have to go and help them find their way incase they needed help. Also, if we helped them in any form, it would have taken time, time that we could not spare. But however, if the girls were supporting the Dark Lord, the fact that the girls were headed to Rivendell would not be good news. Although Rivendell IS guarded with many elves with brilliant battle skills and the girls are MOST probably not on the side of Sauron as a) they looked weak, b) they would have either (i) attacked, (ii) gone after, (iii) fought the fellowship and demanded for the One Ring instead of screaming in terror. And finally c) it served no purpose for them to go to Rivendell, as the One Ring was not there. So basically, the fact that the girls were headed to Rivendell was MOST likely a good thing. Hopefully, maybe, perhaps…After finally managing to convince ourselves that the girls heading for Imladris was a good thing; we decided to head off to our journey again.
Back to the two men on horses, (actually elves)
We were both at the last stretch of our surveillance rounds and were about to return back to the guards head-quarters when suddenly we heard rather loud voices coming from a bush. The mystery of the amazing talking bush was solved. Apparently, the bush just seemed to be talking because there were girls hiding IN the bush.
The girls were acting really weirdly and we didn't know what to do with them because first, they were weird and secondly, we didn't understand them AT ALL. And so, being the nice gentlemanly perfectly handsome and well mannered(egoistical) elves we were, we gracefully got off our horses and offered our hands to the ladies, whom in turn gave us blank looks before they started discussing. Most probably on if we were to be trusted or not.
And so the girls just stared at the elves blankly when they saw offered hands appearing before them. After quite awhile, the girl shook off their blankness and started discussing whether to accept the hands before them.
"Err…guys what do we do now 'coz obviously they've spotted us, thanks to our brilliant level of stealth," asked Leannex while emphasizing on the words brilliant and stealth.
"They don't look that dangerous… and unlike that last group, they stuck out hands not weapons," pointed out Claire who still held a tiny bit of a grudge towards the fellowship who made her look like an idiot in front of her classmates.
"Let's just take the risk. I mean, think about it. If we follow them, we would have a 60 chance of getting to safety, but if we wander around in this strange land, we would most probably get lost, injured or killed. Thus, in conclusion, I think our best chance at survival would be with them," stated Robin.
"Yes, yes robin, we all know you're very good at writing essays but you don't have to cough up one now, Ok anyway, so who's in for following those two?" Leona said trying to settle the matter at hand.
A chorus of "I am" s from the rest of the girls settled it at once and so they slowly untangled themselves from the bush only to trip over each other and because Leona was already holding the hand of one of the elves who was helping her up, when the other girls crashed into her, she lost her balance and so pulled the elf down with her as she fell. Resulting in major chaos as everyone tried to get out of the way for a falling elf with a lot of amour, pointy arrows and not to mention a huge bow would have been very uncomfortable. So finally after many kicks and falls, the girls managed to get up and going.
(As you may have notice, the girls have faulty equilibrium as they repeatedly keep falling down in the story…)
When the girls finally reached Rivendell, emphasis on the finally because the girls had to walk through a forest with a very dense undergrowth, (ha-ha geog!) the girls constantly tripped over many roots and fallen branches even though there was a clear path for them created by the elves for travelers. Actually, the only reason the girls kept tripping over so much, was because they kept talking to each other and bursting out in laughter and so they did not watch where they were going thus causing them to trip over huge roots that even a semi-blind person could spot. Further more, the girls had to stop to take a break every few hundred meters. During the break, they either removed pebbles and twigs out of their school shoes or they drank water and went to the 'ladies bush'. Because the girls kept stopping so often, the elves got really irritated at the girls, but did not show their annoyance as they had self control.
Anyway, when they DID reach Rivendell, the elves brought them over to Lord Elrond immediately as they did not want to suffer in the girl's presence any longer. (AN: Whatever the girls say are in normal font, while whatever anyone else says will be in bold, ok? Ok!)
"Yes what is it? And who are these humans that follow you?" asked Lord Elrond as he eyed the four girls who were looking around Rivendell in awe.
"Excuse us milord, but we found them hiding in a bush, just outside the borders," answered elf number one. Meanwhile, the girls had wandered all the way to the other end of the room.
"I see and might I inquire why you brought them here if…" started Lord Elrond but he never got to finish his sentence as a loud crash from the opposite end of the room interrupted him. Apparently, Robin had tripped over her shoe lace and thus crashed into the stone display stand that once held a very beautiful vase given to Lord Elrond by none other than his beloved wife, Lady Celebrian, who had sail to the undying lands.
"Oh SHIIiii…!" Robin cried out the moment she heard the vase smash, purposely dragging the curse word so that she would not be cursing. Upon seeing all eyes on her, she squatted and tried to hide behind the stone stand.
"Oh man Robin !" cried out the rest of the girls in tandem.
"Eh heh heh heh…sorry…" came Robin's sheepish reply.
The end: OK! I'm stopping here because I want to give you guys the privilege of being able to decided on some matters of the story.
Problem one
How would you like the girls to finally manage to communicate with Middle Earthians?
a)one of the girls bang their heads and miraculously, she is…
(i)able to understand animals.
(ii)able to understand elves
(iii)able to understand everyone
(iv)able to talk to trees
b)Someone in Middle Earth knows a spell or potion or anything that will make them instantly able to understand (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv).
SO PLEASE VOTE OK! IF NOT, I CAN'T CONTINUE WITH THE STORY!
Till then, SEE YA!
