A/N: I dont own any of Tolkien's stuff. I dont own any of the LOTR characters. I own TC and MC. Sort of Strider/Legagorn.
I am trying to keep this accurate to the book, but its not easy. And thank you to all of my reviewers! You are all very much appreciated :) And as usual, thank u to Karategurl for giving me most of the ideas in here :-D. And by the way, I only have two chapters left in ROTK left to cover (yay I'm almost done! WOW) AND one more note before I shut up. The parts in // are pretty much taken right from the book. And the title for this chapter is the same as the chapter in ROTK
~TC
~*~*~
On the way to Minas Tirith, there was complete silence between the hobbits. TC was mad at MC for making moves on Pippin, and she was mad at Pippin for liking MC.
MC was mad at Merry for liking TC, and she was mad at TC for trying to steal Merry.
Merry and Pippin were mad at MC and TC because of the way the girls used them as means of revenge. Merry and Pippin were mad at each other for trying to steal each other's "girl".
Frodo refused to talk to MC, because he was still suspicious of her. Sam refused to talk to MC and TC due to the fued (the reason for which was long forgotten). Both Frodo and Sam would have talked to Merry and Pippin, except all they heard was complaining about the other hobbits.
Therefore, out of the six hobbits, Frodo and Sam were the only two who would talk to each other. However, they had nothing to talk about. Thus creating absolute silence between all six hobbits.
For about the first five minutes, anyways. Then TC (who, along with MC, can't stand silence) picked up a stick and, of course, chucked it at Sam.
Without hesitation, MC did a similar act. She grabbed a stick, and not to be outdone by TC, ran over to Sam and was going to start beating him, but Frodo stopped that plan by grabbing the stick and throwing it far away. MC then punched Frodo in the face.
"YOU @$$!" Sam yelled and tackled MC, and they began beating on each other.
"Don't you call her that!" Merry yelled, suddenly enraged. He then joined the fight. Pippin went to see if Frodo was alright.
TC, proud of what she started, surveyed the mess of fighting hobbits. Frodo had rejoined the fight. TC and Pippin, not to be left out, also jumped in.
~~~
A few moments later, Legolas and Gimli noticed the hobbits were no longer with the group. They rode back to find the halflings.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Legolas shouted, upon finding the hobbits in mass chaos. They all froze. For a few moments they all just stared at each other in silence, until Legolas finally spoke. "Just...just sort this out, SOON! Now please, let's ride back to the group!"
The hobbits groaned unhappily as they got on their mounts, and followed Legolas back to the group.
~~~
They reached Minas Tirith and some men greeted them at the gate. Faramir was amongst them. They brought a casket forth to Aragorn, while one of the men was making a speech. Then Faramir opened the casket and presented the crown (that the body inside the casket was holding) to Aragorn.
However, Aragorn did not accept it. He wanted Frodo to present it to him, and Gandalf to place it on his head. Frodo walked up from the back of the group. His hair was standing on end, his clothes were torn in many places, and blood was smeared all over him--both from himself and from others.
Aragorn and Gandalf shot a glance back at MC and TC who (had now made up and were friends again) were sitting on their mounts next to each other, feigning innocence. They put in a synchronized wave for an added affect. the fact that they, and the other hobbits, were in the same state as Frodo, did not help matters.
Aragorn redirected his attention to Frodo and motioned for the hobbit to proceed. Frodo took the crown from Faramir, and walked it over to Gandalf. The wizard then placed it on top of Aragorn's head.
Aragorn rose and /Faramir cried: "Behold, the King!"/
And the trumpets sounded as Aragorn went through the gates.
"He's a king?" TC asked, surprised.
"You didn't know that?" MC (practically) shouted.
"Was I supposed to?"
"Well, *I* did!"
~~~
/The hobbits stayed in Minas Tirith with Legolas and Gimli, for Aragorn was reluctant for the Fellowship to dissolve. He had said one day: "At last, all such things must come to an end."/ He then went on how he'd have them wait to leave, for a day he'd always looked forward to was coming, and he'd like to have his friends at his side. When he said that last part, he shot an unsure glance at MC and TC.
So for a while, they all stayed there, only Gandalf and Aragorn knowing why.
TC and MC refused to talk to Merry and Pippin. The reverse was true as well. They did however, converse in a very loud manner.
TC gave up on that, quickly, and took to riding Strider around the city, enjoying the appalled looks she got when people saw the beast. Especcially when she told them who he was named after. Needless to say, Aragorn was less than thrilled, and didn't feel as though the cityfolk should have a King with a warg named after him, and ordered TC to change it's name. The new name was Sammy.
MC had originally been riding Rocket around with TC, but then Sammy developed a strange, and very disturbing, fondness for the horse. MC began hanging out with Legolas and Gimli.
~~~
Finally, Midsummer, the waiting stopped. Elves rode in. Amongst them were Elrond, Galadriel, and Arwen.
Then it struck everyone why they had waited. Aragorn and Arwen were to be married! /Elrond laid the hand of his daughter inyo Aragorn's and together they went up to the High City, where they were wedded./
~~~
Then at last came the day they would head home. For fifteen days they travelled, until they reached Edoras. Those fifteen days proved eventful.
Merry and Pippin were supposed to be riding with the knights of the lands they were knights of, but were still angry with TC and MC, and they had other plans in mind. In the only way they knew how (without getting into trouble), they got revenge.
Pippin rode up next to Arwen. "Hey Arwen," he said in as low and seductive a voice he could manage. "How are you?" The he winked at her. Arwen shot a scared look over to Aragorn, who glared at Pippin. The hobbit ignored him and continued flirting with Arwen.
Merry was having similar affairs with Galadriel. He was telling her she was the most beautiful being he'd ever laid eyes on. She was trying to ignore him.
TC and MC saw the two hobbits flirting. They both gasped.
"How can they just flirt shamelessly like that?" MC cried. TC was silent, for she did not know the answer. "Well, I guess we should do something about this!" With that, MC rode over to Legolas. "Hey Legolas..." MC said.
"Great." TC muttered. "Now what am I supposed to do?" TC pondered her options. "Let's see, Aragorn or Gimli. DANGIT! Um..." TC closed her eyes in concentration. Finally she chose Aragorn. "He has more facial hair (right now)." TC told herself, justifying her decision. TC moved Sammy forward and rode up to Aragorn.
"Hey..." TC greeted, then gulped, as if trying to keep from vomiting. The next words she said as though she could hardly choke them past her throat. She gulped again. "What's happening..." TC winced as she continued her statement, "...sexy?" TC cringed, then smiled, largely and fakely. Aragorn stared back in horror.
"What are you doing?" he hissed.
Before TC could answer, there came a cry. "MC!" It was Merry, of course. He had spotted MC with Legolas. "NO!" Merry jumped off his mount and ran over to MC. He fell to his knees. MC jumped off her horse and stood before Merry.
"PLEASE!" Merry pleaded, sobbing. "PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I'M SORRY I GOT MAD AT YOU! I'M SORRY I STARTED LIKING TC! I'M SORRY I WAS FLIRTING WITH GALADRIEL! I SWEAR I DIDN'T MEAN IT! SHE'S GOT NOTHING ON YOU! PLEASE TAKE ME BACK!" Merry wrapped his arms around MC's ankles, muttering incoherent words.
"Oh I suppose." MC said nonchalantly.
"YAY!" Merry began jumping up and down, and hugging MC and cheering for himself. He quickly ran over to his horse and mounted it then rode it back to MC, now on hers.
Pippin watched the scene in interest. He figured since it had worked for Merry, it would work for him. He jumped off his horse and ran over to TC, falling to his knees.
"Oh for the sake of all that's sane, yes, I'll forgive you!" TC yelled, not exactly sounding forgiving. "Just please, let's not repeat that scene?"
Pippin proceeded to cheer and dance (which was a bit scary), then ran over to his horse, and as Merry did, rode it over next to TC. Soon all was right again with the hobbits, and they were riding peacefully with each other. Of course, then Merry was showing signs of stalking MC again.
~~~
A few days later, for some reason, Sam and Frodo noticed TC's warg for the first time.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!" Frodo screamed.
TC, MC, Merry, and Pippin stared at him. "You just noticed?" TC asked, disbelievingly.
"Yeah..."
"I see."
"Is it...tame?"
"Sure."
Frodo reached out and petted the warg's nose.
"Hey Sam, check this out!"
Sam doubtfully walked over to the warg. He pet it's nose, but it bit at him.
"Sammy!" TC scolded. "Don't bite your namesake!"
"WHAT?!" Sam screamed, not appreciative of the beast being named after him.
"What?" TC asked innocently. "It was vicious and evil when I got it."
~~~
Many days later, they reached Edoras, where Theoden's funeral took place. Following that, Faramir and Eowyn got married.
As the travellers continued on their journey, they reached Helm's Deep. Legolas and Gimli went into the Glittering Caves. They all stayed at Helm's Deep for two days.
Within that two days, MC quickly became tired of Merry, who, once again, was stalking her. MC and TC wandered around the Deep, searching for hiding places. Merry and Pippin decided it was a game, and everytime the girls found a new place, the males found them. Both TC and MC got severely annoyed. They had a feeling that homicide would commence if they didn't leave soon.
Legolas and Gimli got back from the Glittering caves, and the elf couldn't even describe them. So Gimli promised to go with Legolas into Fangorn Forest.
~~~
The group set off again, heading towards Isengard. There they said goodbye to Legolas and Gimli, for Fangorn was very near to Isengard.
TC and MC both made a point of hugging Legolas before he left. That struck everyone odd, because the girls not normally very...affectionate.
Remembering the races they'd held that one night, TC offered Sammy to Legolas. The elf declined, thinking the warg wouldn't be too appreciated in the forest.
So then, Legolas and Gimli said their goodbyes and headed into Fangorn.
~~~
On their way to the Gap of Rohan, Merry reappointed himself as MC's bodyguard. No one, not even TC or Pippin, was allowed anywhere near MC. Merry even turned his horse over to Sam and Frodo so that he could ride with MC on her horse.
"I really don't need a bodyguard, Merry!" MC insisted. "I think you're the biggest danger to me in this group!"
"Of course I'm not!" Merry laughed. "How could I be a danger to you? I'm protecting you!"
"FROM MY FRIENDS?"
Merry had no response to this.
When they reached the spot where Pippin had looked into the Palantir, Aragorn and Arwen departed from the group.
Aragorn came over to the hobbits and said goodbye to each of them. Even TC and MC (though eyeing them warily). When he was done, TC winked and giggled at him, just for fun. Aragorn laughed nervously, then he and Arwen left.
And the group rode on. When they were travelling along the Misty Mountains, they ran into Saruman and Grima Wormtongue. There was some confrontation, but eventually the two rushed into the woods, leaving the travellers alone.
Now, Frodo wanted to stop in Rivendell, to see Bilbo, so that was where they headed.
~~~
When they reached Rivendell, four of the hobbits went in search of Bilbo. Predictably enough, TC and MC were the two who did not. They rode around for a while, but didn't cause any trouble. Since Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas were gone, Sam and Frodo were with Bilbo, as were Merry and Pippin, and they couldn't find Gandalf, they really had no reason to cause any trouble. They did stop and swordfight a bit, but it just didn't feel right.
"Man this sucks!" TC said and flopped down, leaning against a statue.
"No kidding!" MC agreed, sitting down next to TC. "Everyone's leaving!"
"It's so SAD!"
At that moment, it hit both hobbits how final this all was. It was unlikely they'd ever see Aragorn or Legolas or Gimli again. And even though they'd had their differences, it was very sad.
The next day was Bilbo's birthday, so of course, there was a party. TC and MC taught the rest of the hobbits how to Tango. Even Sam and Frodo. The girls even found roses, stripped them of all but their flower, and stem, and made the guys hold them in their teeth.
Of course, the six hobbits looked absolutely ridiculous.
They stayed a while in Rivendell, during which time MC insisted on holding a poetry reading. Merry and Pippin said they'd watch, and expected the poetry to be like the elven songs. They were sorely wrong.
MC of course, was the reader. Her first poem began: "Mars has been invaded by a nickel with a toe."
Merry and Pippin were confused beyond belief by that line. They made TC translate for them. They demanded to know what Mars was, what a nickel was, and why a nickel might have a toe and why it would invade Mars. When TC told them what Mars was, they demanded to know what a planet was. TC ended up translating all of MC's poems, as her first poem was actually her most normal poem. Then she made a dramatic switch to a depressing, suicidal poem as her ending piece. This left her (small) audience dumbfounded.
After a lengthy stay in Rivendell, it was, once again, time to leave. Gandalf and the hobbits took off, their destination was Bree.
