Sorry if this chapter is dull and boring, I was having issues writing it for some reason. So happy it's done. Its my longest chapter so far.
PS-This chapter has been extended, the extension is between the ~~~'s.

"The walls of Moria." Gimli said in awe as they reached the base of the mountian.
"It's a big pile of rock!" MC stated bluntly. Gimli grunted as they neared the walls. Everyone sat down except for Gandalf, who was muttering something while feeling the walls (TC made a few comments on that).
The moon came out from behind the clouds and shone on the walls, revealing a door. There were Elven words on it. Gandalf read them aloud (in English, obviously).
"The doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter."
"What's that mean?" Merry asked.
"Well, it's obvious. If you're a friend, you speak the password and the doors will open." Gandalf then spoke some Elvish, but the doors did nothing. He began trying different variations of what he'd said.
Aragorn walked over to Sam and Bill. "The mines are no place for a pony," he said, taking the luggage off Bill. "even one so brave as Bill."
TC overheard this, and ran over. "Bill's not coming?!"
"No, he isn't." Sam replied, then glanced at TC, "lucky pony." Sam removed Bill's bridle and they sent him off.
"Don't worry MC." Merry said, leaning close to MC (who scooted away from Merry). "Gandalf will get us in."
"I wasn't worried." MC slid further down on the log from Merry, who slid even closer to her. "Well, it wasn't getting in that worried me, anyways." MC eyed Merry suspiciously. Gandalf sat next to Frodo and gave up.
"Do not disturb the waters!" Aragorn caught Pippin in the act of throwing stones into the water.
"Let him do what he wants." TC muttered as she walked by, suddenly in a foul mood.
"OKAY TC!" Aragorn yelled, drawing his sword, "I've had enough of you!" TC stopped and looked at him with wide eyes. "Draw your sword." TC blinked, as if confused. "I'm serious!" Everyone turned to stare. TC didn't think he was that serious, and turned to walk away, but Aragorn's sword (at her throat) stopped her.
"Draw your sword!" he demanded.
"You're kidding, right?" TC asked. The look on his face told her he wasn't. "I can't fight you!"
"You're gonna have to!"
TC gripped the handle of her sword, but it was still stuck. She got a look of sheer panic on her face, and had a feeling Aragorn would be swordfighting whether she had a sword or not. She began to frantically yank on it.
"Pippin, give TC your sword."
"No!" Pippin protested.
"GIVE HER YOUR SWORD!"
"You can't fight her if she doesn't have a sword!"
"Oh yes I can!"
Pippin quickly tossed his sword to TC, who caught it (barely) in her right hand. The two swords quickly clashed, causing TC's to fly out of her hand (right at Sam, who wouldn't toss it back). TC quickly ran over and picked up the sword and slowly walked over to Aragorn. She wore a look of mortal fear.
The fight quickly recommenced. TC surprised herself, and Aragorn. She was actually doing quite well, and seemed to be winning. Aragorn was rather confused.
"Come on!" Sam cheered, "Beat her DOWN!"
"What the hell are you doing?" Aragorn shouted at TC.
"I'm trying to live!"
"You're freakin left-handed!" Aragorn sheathed his sword.
"So?" TC remained with the sword in the defensive position, looking humorously afraid.
"I can't fight you!" Aragorn began walking away from her. TC suddenly regained her confidence.
"What?" she taunted, "Afraid you'll lose to a GIRL HOBBIT?" TC tossed the sword back to Pippin. Aragorn didn't respond to TC's comment.
"Hey Legolas, guess who smashed your favorite statue in Rivendell?" Aragorn said to the Elf as he walked over to him. He then said something to Legolas, who sent a glare TC's way.
"How'd he know about that?" TC asked to no one in particular. Legolas grabbed his bow and seemed prepared to use it. "Uh, Pippin...I may be needing that sword again..."
MC was staring directly ahead of her, at Frodo, paying no attention to what Merry was saying. He noticed this.
"Why does Frodo always seem to be in your line of vision?" Merry asked suspiciously.
"For the same reason I always seem to be in your line of vision." MC answered. "Except I'm not a stalker!"
"Well, neither am I!"
MC stared at Merry in disbelief. "Oh yes, you ARE!"
"Wanna bet?"
"Yeah!"
"Hey Strider!" Merry called, "Am I stalking--"
"YES!"
"You didn't even let me finish!"
Frodo suddenly realized something. "Gandalf, what's the Elvish word for friend?"
"Mellon."
The doors opened, everyone ran inside.
"You don't need to walk in this crap!" Merry said to MC, and picked her up.
"Put me DOWN!" MC slapped Merry.
"No! You don't know what could be on the ground!"
"I'd rather take my chances with whatever that might be!"
"This is no mine." Boromir muttered. "It's a tomb."
Suddenly, everyone noticed the skeletons, pierced with arrows, littering the floor.
"Sick!" TC screamed, trying to control her gag reflexes.
Suddenly Frodo was grabbed around the ankle by something that pulled him back towards the lake.
"Frodo!" MC screamed, breaking free of Merry's grip. Sam, MC, and Pippin quickly began slashing at the tentacle that had Frodo.
"Strider!" Merry screamed. "STRIDER!"
Aragorn, and everyone else, turned, just in time to see seven more tentacle appear. Aragorn and Boromir quickly ran at the creature, swords bared. They too, began slashing at the thing. It quickly dropped Frodo. Boromir caught him and quickly ran back into the mines.
Legolas shot an arrow at the creature (but because of how close it went to TC's head, TC had suspicions that it may have been aimed at her), and nailed it in the face. Everyone ran back into the mines, and the creature pulled down the doors of Moria.
"We now have no choice but to face the long, dark of Moria." Gandalf said, illuminating his staff.
"Well, this is just wonderful." TC stated in total sarcasm. Merry quickly picked up MC again, as they began walking.
"NO!" MC protested
"It will take us several days to get to the other side." Gandalf told them. "Let us hope we can make it there unnoticed.
MC groaned, "You aren't planning on carrying me the whole way, are you?"
"You bet I will!" Merry grinned. MC's eye twitched.
"Ha ha! MC got a stalker! MC got a stalker!" TC chanted, walking beside MC and Merry
"You can't talk!" MC yelled back at her.
"Aye! What's that mean?"
"You ARE a stalker!"
"Not YOUR stalker!"
"Thank God for that..." MC muttered quietly.
"I have no memory of this place." Gandalf said after a while of walking.
"Great, we're LOST!" Pippin whined.
Everyone sat down as they waited for Gandalf to remember where exactly they were. It was completely silent. For a while, anyways. The silence was broken by a loud belch, followed by "sorry."
"Pippin!" Merry slapped his friend.
"Dude, that wasn't me!" Pippin defended, rubbing his arm where he was slapped.
"It came from your direction--LEGOLAS!"
The Elf blushed.
"I could do better than that!" Pippin declared.
"So could I! I could do better than YOU too!" Merry bragged.
"Wanna bet?"
"You're on!"
The two Hobbits quickly commenced in a belching contest. It started out quietly, but it wasn't long before TC, MC and Legolas had to move away from them. It was surprising that noises THAT loud could come out of creatures that small. Somewhat disturbing too. Finally, Pippin let out an amazingly long, and loud one, earning him horrified looks from everyone.
"Pippin! Merry!" Aragorn hissed, "Quit it! Every living creature in Moria has probably become aware of us now!"
"That means I won!" Pippin declared happily.
"That's not something to be proud of!" MC said to him in disgust.
"MC...you really can't talk." TC told her.
"Neither can you!"
"Oh! It's this way!" Gandalf suddenly got up and began walking. Everyone followed him. MC quickly ran to the front of the group to avoid Merry, though her efforts were in vain, because he quickly caught up.
"It's really quiet!" TC blurted incredibly loudly.
"We want it to stay that way!" Aragorn told her. TC grunted. MC, who was...um, being carried next to her, looked over at her in surprise.
"What was that?" she demanded.
TC snorted.
"Right..."
After a couple minutes of silence, TC made another random, odd noise. This continued until they reached a larger room and Gandalf's staff let off more light.
"The dwarf-city: Dwarrodelf."
Everyone looked around in awe. As they were walking, Gimli saw something that caught his attention. He ran into that room and bent over it.
"NO!" he screamed. Everyone ran to where he was. "Balin is dead."
Gandalf saw a book being held by a skeleton. He handed his hat and his staff to Pippin. Gandalf picked up the book and began reading aloud from it. Pippin began backing up, then hit a well. He turned around and saw a skeleton peirced with an arrow. Pippin grabbed the arrow and twisted it. The skeleton fell down the well. It was attached to a rusty chain...which was hooked onto a bucket. Everyone looked over, startled, Gandalf set the book down.
"Fool of a Took!" he yelled, grabbing his hat and staff. "Throw yourself in next time and rid us all of your stupidity!" Pippin looked down.
~~~
"Shut up old man!" TC yelled, leaping at Gandalf. When she hit him, she knocked him off balance. Down the well they went.
Luckily, Aragorn and Boromir reacted quickly and were able to grab Gandalf's feet. TC had a hold on Gandalf's wrists.
"I should let you fall!" Gandalf muttered while Aragorn, Boromir, and Legolas started pulling them up.
"You wouldn't!" TC growled.
"Wouldn't I?"
"You'd have several angry hobbits after you!"
When the two were safely out of the well, Gandalf muttered something and flung TC across the room with his staff.
~~~
A faint drumming started.
"So much for going unnoticed." Sam muttered. Frodo pulled Sting partway out of the sheath. It was glowing blue.
"Orcs!" Legolas said. The pounding grew louder and faster. Boromir and Legolas went to shut the door. Boromir quickly looked at the incoming orcs. As they barred the door, he informed the rest that there was a cave troll with the orcs.
"Stay close to Gandalf!" Aragorn told the hobbits. They all flocked together and drew their swords (well, all except TC, who didn't even try).
"Nice going Pippin." Sam said sarcastically. Pippin looked sad, like he was going to cry. TC punched Sam, knocking him down. He got up and discovered he had a bloody nose.
"TC!" Gandalf yelled. "DON'T DO THAT!" TC just sniffed at him arrogantly.
The orcs began clawing at the wooden door with their axes. As soon as there was a hole in the door, Legolas shot an arrow and there was a shriek. Sam got a pan out instead of his sword, not really knowing why (apparently TC knocked some sense out of him...). Then the Orcs broke through. Everyone quickly began slashing with their swords, shooting arrows, or even hitting the Orcs on their heads with a frying pan.
TC saw some Orcs coming at her, and decided to try her sword. It slid out easily.
"It came out!" she screamed, staring at it in amazement. "IT CAME OUT!" she turned to begin slashing Orcs, but at that same time, Sam swung his pan back to swing at an Orc. The pan hit TC square in the face. She stopped, in a bit of a daze. The quickly snapped out of it and began fighting (the orcs).
Then the cave troll came in. It was the most hideous creature any of them had ever seen. They couldn't help but stare at it for a couple seconds, but there were plenty of Orcs left, and they couldn't gawk for long. After a few minutes, there was a shriek.
"NO!" It was MC. Everyone looked over. The cave troll was hovering over Frodo, pulling a spear out of the hobbit. Merry and Pippin quickly jumped on the creature and began stabbing it with their swords.
TC looked over at MC, who was staring at Frodo's body, in a sort of trance.
"MC!" she screamed, and ran up to her friend. She stabbed the Orc that was coming up behind MC. MC automatically, without looking, assumed it was Merry.
"MERRY!" she yelled in annoyance, turning around. "Oh, hi!"
"I'm not Merry!" TC said plainly. "And if you think I am, you need HELP!"
Then Legolas shot the troll up his mouth. Pippin, who was still mounted on it, was flung across the room as it fell. Merry had long since been thrown off.
Aragorn and Sam ran over to Frodo. The hobbit, that they thought was dead, coughed.
"I'm alright!" he said. "I'm not hurt!"
"Yipee!" MC rejoiced. there was shrieking of orcs in the distance.
"We must make for the bridge of Khazad-dum!" Gandalf said and took off running, everyone following him. The Orcs began crawling down the pillars. The Fellowship was soon surrounded.
"Well, this might be bad..." TC said. A roaring occured, a LOUD roar. The orcs scattered and ran off.
"A Balrog...to the Bridge!" They all began running again, Gandalf in the lead. They came to some stairs, and about halfway down a huge chunk was missing from them. Legolas jumped across first. Then Gandalf. Boromir grabbed Merry and Pippin and jumped across. (Merry kept yelling at him that he should have grabbed MC instead of Pippin. Pippin wasn't too happy with Merry about that). Aragorn threw Sam, and turned to Gimli.
"Nobody tosses a dwarf!" Gimli said and jumped the gap. He almost fell, but Legolas grabbed his beard and pulled him up. Aragorn turned to the remaining three hobbits. TC and MC looked unreasonably afraid. They confessed to being afraid (well, MORTIFIED is more accurate) of heights. Aragorn said that was just too bad for them and tossed MC across the gap.
Then a huge chunk of rock fell and widened the gap. Another chunk fell, behind them, creating an island around Aragorn, TC, and Frodo. The island began to wobble.
"FRODO!" MC cried. "NO!" The island began falling forward, and hit the rest of the stairs. The three flew into the group. Immediately they began running for the bridge again.
Then the Balrog appeared.
"Dude..." MC and TC said at the same time, staring at the fiery creature. Everyone began running across the bridge. Gandalf stopped and began yelling at it.
"Gandalf!" Frodo began to run back to the wizard. Boromir held him back.
"You shall not pass!" Gandalf yelled and slammed his staff down in front of him. The Balrog snorted and stepped forward, the bridge crumbling underneath the creature. As it fell, it cracked it's whip and the whip wrapped around Gandalf's ankle, pulling him down. He caught the edge.
"Fly you fools!" he told them, then fell.
"NO!" Frodo screamed, Boromir had to carry him as they all ran out. Everyone sat down when they got outside. TC and MC stared at them all.
"Hey MC..."TC said slowly. "Thanks for being worried about me at the stairs..." TC sent a hard glare at MC.
"What?"
"This is YOUR fault!" Sam screamed at them through his tears.
"How is it OUR fault?" MC asked.
"Really, it's not like we pushed him down or something!" TC put in.
"He fell on purpose! He wanted to get away from you guys!"
"Legolas!" Aragorn called. "Get them up!"
"Give them a moment!"
"By nightfall, these hills will be swarming with orcs! We must reach the woods of Lorien." Aragorn and Legolas got everyone up and began the journey to Lothlorien.
A/N: Sorry, that was incredibly long...wasnt it? and it wasnt that funny i dont think. Ill try to work on that in future chapters.
