Disclaimer: I do not own nor do I profit from any of these Lord of the Rings Characters. It all belongs to Tolkien, and Peter Jackson and all those wonderful people out there.

a/n – this is my first fanfic that I have ever uploaded. I've written lots but I've never thought to actually put one out there. With this fic I was just playing around and having fun – it actually started with a dream. Yes I admit I have an extreme addiction to LOTR.

Chapter 3 – Aragorn and Armory.

"So basically we are going running around with the fellowship across Middle Earth?" Cass asked sitting on one of the beds in the room Elrond gave to us.

"Basically." Liv said sitting on another of the beds, while Rae and I did the same. "But listen guys will be fine. I mean we've taken fencing lessons and stuff and Lord Elrond did say that he would send Strider up here to take us to arm ourselves and get proper clothes." She said looking at her school uniform.

"Yeah. So don't sweat it Cass." Rae said lying down on her bed.

"I mean we all have been taught to fight you know, since are parents were afraid that being catholic school girls we were more likely to be raped or something like that." I said.

"I know you guys but we've never done ruthless killing before." Cass said frowning.

"I have to agree with Cass on that one. We've never had to kill before, what if I can't do it?" Liv said frowning also.

Raelyn sat up. "Listen you two if it's in self – defense you won't have to worry about it."

"Besides the only thing that we're going to be killing are Orcs and stuff." I said.

"I don't understand how you two can be so calm about this." Cass said wringing her hands.

I walked over to her and grabbed her hands. "Cass, Rae and I are as worried about this as you and Liv are, but we've come to the conclusion that what will come will come, and we can't change it."

"They're right Cass." Liv said walking over to put her arm around Cass. "NO matter how much we worry over it, Bry's right, what will come will come, and we have to face it."

Rae came over to (I think she was feeling left out.) "Don't worry Cass no matter what we'll always be there for you, and I'm sure it would be the same if the tables were turned."

I pretended to cry. "Oh I love you guys." I said pulling them into a big group hug.

"Same here." they all said as we all hugged and pretended to cry.

"You know I feel like we're in a movie you know." Liv said sniffling.

"Uh, Liv technically we are in a movie and a book." Cass said and we all laughed. "But really thanks you guys. You made me feel better."

We all smiled and then jumped at the knock at the door.

"It must be Aragorn." Rae said as we all disentangled ourselves and she went to let him in.

"If you ladies would not mind I will know proceed to take you to the armory." He said.

"Sweet." I said, as we followed him out.

We reached the armory in one piece and stopped Rae from practically drooling all over Aragorn. He would have been soaking wet if we hadn't kept her at least three feet away from him.

"Now you may choose any weapon you can wield efficiently." He told us.

The four of us split up and went our separate ways.

I went up to the swords. They were all beautifully made (well durh the elves made them). It would be hard to choose one. Then I caught sight of one that had a black and red handle with sliver laid into it.

I walked over and picked it up. It reminded me of the one I used for advanced fencing were we actually used swords like these. I looked down at the belt that held it. It was also beautiful. The belt also had three daggers that were mini versions of the sword.

"Prefect." I muttered under my breathe. I guess I found my sword. I turned around to see what the others choose.

Raelyn of course had a bow and arrow equipped with small daggers.

Liv held an ax. I guess she was much more comfortable with that than a sword; at least she seemed to be in class. But it was a beautiful ax; maybe she could rival Gimli with that.

Cass also had a sword except her handle was gray and blue, and hers wasn't as long in length as mine was. She did prefer the smaller blade. I think it has to do with her love of the hobbits. No let's rephrase that: it definitely has to do with her love of the hobbits.

Aragorn walked over to me. "You and your friends are very strange to me. It is unusual that four women of your age are learned in weaponry."

"Well you will soon find out that we are very unusual women, lord Aragorn." I replied smiling at him.

"It seems that way, my lady." He said returning my smile.

He turned away to say something to my friends while I remained in shock. I just talked to Lord Aragorn without making a fool of myself. Life Is Good! (Wait I kind of did make a fool of myself didn't I? Never mind.)

"As you have all armed yourselves you will now be equipped with the right clothes for warriors." He said and we followed him out of the armory.

Equipped with clothes and such we were now back in our room; getting ready for bed.

"Guys what are we going to do with our uniforms?" Liv asked folding hers.

"We might as well bring them with us just in case we need them or something." Cass said putting hers into one of the packs Aragorn gave us.

"Why don't we just leave them here?" Rae asked "They'll only get in the way and its not as if were going to have the opportunity to change clothes."

"Yeah you guys Rae is right. Let's leave them here." I said.

"But what about when we go visit Lady Galadriel?" Liv asked.

"Good point. Let's bring them." I said putting my uniform in my pack.

"Ohh alright." Rae groaned and packed hers as well.

Cass jumped up. "Bed time girls." She cried going to jump on one of the four beds as we all followed suit.

"Goodnight you guys." Liv said.

"Goodnight" we all replied.

I heard knocking on the door. "Okay dad give me a few seconds and I'll get up." I said rolling out of the bed. "Wait this isn't my room." All of yesterday came flooding back to me. "God damn it I'm a Mary-Sue." I stand up and stretch. "Better wake up the peanut gallery."

I walk over to Cass and push her. "Cass get up." She mutters something. "Cass!" I yell and she jumps up. "Don't eat the chocolate!" she yells.

"Okay Cass I won't eat the chocolate." I say moving on to Liv. Behind me Cass gets out of bed muttering about being waken up when it was still dark outside.

"Liv." I say.

"Hmmm?"

"Time to get up."

"Okay." She says and gets out of bed.

"Besides I need you to help me wake up Rae. I can't do it myself."

"That's true." She says letting out a big yawn. "Okay let's go."

The three of us walk over to Rae's bed. I bend over to poke her in the ribs.

"Rae." I say. "Rae wake up." I poke her again.

All of sudden she shoots up and moves to punch me. I dodge it and fall back into Cass and Liv who catch me.

"Oh. Sorry Bry didn't know it was you."

"Obviously." I mutter while standing up straight. "Thanks you guys." I say turning to look at Cass and Liv.

"No prob." Cass says.

"Get dressed everyone I have a feeling we'll be leaving soon." Liv says.

All of us move to get changed into the clothes (armor is more like it – think Aragorn type clothes here.) we laid out for today.

Preview for Chapter 4:

"Yes I know. But right know I prefer to not dwell on it. I much rather talk about how Cass is over there talking to Frodo and not drooling on him." I say smirking.

"That is a rather amazing sight. I mean after all she practically is obsessed with Elijah Wood." Rae replied. "Well Liv is over there talking to Pippin and Merry." She paused. "You know what I think I'll go and join her."

"Ohh. Big bad Rae is about to make her move on little ole Dom huh?" I say laughing.

"You wish." She said walking off towards Liv and the little hobbits.
