PS-I know I didn't mention the note from Gandalf in the story, but there is a note, for those of you who have not read the books, that Gandalf sends to Frodo that he wants Butterbur to send to Frodo before he arrives @ Bree, and Butterbur forgot to send it to Frodo, and Gandalf said in the note if Butterbur forgot, he would roast him.
~*~*~
Pippin, Frodo, and Sam stared uneasily at MC and TC. The two girls had their capes pulled tightly around them, with their hoods pulled far over their faces. They were looking around suspiciously. It was evening, and the sun was about to go down.
Suddenly, the girls flung their capes to the ground, making awful noises.
"What are you guys doing?" Frodo finally asked.
"We're turning into bats!" MC answered.
"Why?"
"We're vampires!"
"What?" Pippin asked.
"Vampires! We are undead!" TC answered.
"Eh?"
TC and MC glanced at each other skeptically. MC rode right up to Frodo, and licked her teeth menacingly. In a low voice she said: "We suck blood."
"Suck my blood!" Merry (predictably enough) screamed from behind MC. MC elbowed him in the stomach.
"Can't you hobbits get along?" Gandalf yelled, riding Shadowfax some distance ahead of the hobbits. He recieved no answer.
TC proceeded to stand on Sammy's back, spread her arms, and jump into the air. She screamed happily right before landing face first in the mud. She jumped back up, looking indignant, then hopped back onto Sammy. "I'm still fine tuning that..."
"MC WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Merry and Frodo both screamed simultaneously (though for different reasons). The other three hobbits turned their attention to Frodo and MC. MC had Frodo in a kind of headlock, and was going for his neck, her mouth open.
Sam pushed MC away from Frodo. Merry hugged MC from behind. She turned around and Merry gave her a frantic, pleading look.
"NO." MC said firmly.
Gandalf shook his head. "The things those hobbits can do on horseback." he muttered.
The first light of the day began to appear.
"NO!" TC screamed. "WE MUST NOT BE CAUGHT IN THE LIGHT...OH CRAP!"
"What?!" Pippin asked.
"Oh no! We left our capes behind!" MC yelled frantically.
"NO!" TC dove under the cape of the nearest hobbit. She ended up sitting behind Frodo on his horse. She pulled the cape tightly around herself, totally covering her body.
"Agh!" Frodo choked. "TC! You're strangling me!"
MC looked around frantically, and followed suit (of TC) and ended up under Sam's cape.
Merry went hysterical. "No MC!" Merry yelled.
"Can it!" MC yelled back, right before Sam pushed MC off his horse. He then proceeded to pull TC off of Frodo's horse.
"NO!" Both girls writhed on the ground as the daylight hit them.
"Wait!" MC suddenly stopped. "It's not doing anything!"
They both stood up and looked around. A triumphant look crossed TC's face. "I AM THE QUEEN OF ALL VAMPIRES!" TC cried, her arms raised victoriously, an evil gleam in her eye.
"ME TOO! ME TOO!" MC jumped up and down. Realizing the group was leaving them behind, the girls ran to catch up to them and jumped onto their mounts.
"You guys need help." Frodo muttered.
"Do not!" TC cried.
"You guys think you're vampires!" Sam yelled.
"So?" MC asked. "We are."
"NO! Vampires do NOT exist!"
"Then neither do hobbits!" TC yelled. The others got really quiet and stared at her.
"Yeah we do..." Pippin said.
"That's not what she meant, Pip." Merry hissed through gritted teeth. Pippin bore a very confused look.
"But she said---"
"Forget it Pippin!" TC cut him off. "Forget I said anything."
"But..."
"No!"
~~~~
That night they reached Bree. Butterbur immediately greeted them at the Prancing Pony. He took them to the stables to house their horses---and warg.
"BILL!" Sam cried, upon seeing his beloved pony.
"Yes, he came back here a while ago." Butterbur informed them. "Come now! Let's talk, you must have many tales to tell!" Butterbur led them back into the Prancing Pony and into an empty room. There they all sat down and began talking.
"Hey TC!" MC whispered.
"What?" TC whispered back.
"Remember that note that Mr. Butterbur gave Frodo the first time we were here?"
"Yeah?"
"Well Gandalf wrote in it that if Butterbur forgot to send it to Frodo that he would roast him!"
"But he gave it to Frodo!"
"But he was supposed to SEND it to Frodo before he got to the inn!"
The realization hit TC. "Oooh!"
There was a pause in the conversation, then the girls glanced at each other and began chanting in unison.
"ROAST HIM! ROAST HIM! ROAST HIM!"
The others stopped and stared.
The girls let out one final cry before being "ushered" out of the room. "YOU SAID YOU'D ROAST HIM!" they yelled at Gandalf. The door slammed, and the two looked at the crowd in the bar.
"Well...what now?" MC asked.
TC grinned. "We can have some fun!" TC emphasized 'fun'.
"Yeah!"
The two girls jumped onto a table and began singing, doing a bit of a jig.
"F is for FRIENDS that do stuff together, U is for U and ME!" The girls paused, looked at each other. "Yeah right!" they said in unison, then carried on with the same tune, different lyrics.
"F is for FIRE that burns down the whole town! U is for Uranium BOMBS! N is for NO SURVIVORS!"
People pulled TC and MC off the table and began carrying them towards the door. The girls continued singing.
"F is for stomping through all the FLOWERS! U is for broken Eukilalies! N is for no peace, no joy and no fun--"
They were inturrupted by a slam, leaving them outside, locked out of the Prancing Pony.
"I guess we've had our fun." MC muttered.
"Not all of it!" TC grinned and took off towards the stables.
"What are you talking about?" MC yelled, following her friend. When they reached the stables, TC made a beeline for Bill's stall. With a conspiring grin, and a lot of difficulty, she mounted the pony.
~~~~
Butterbur, Gandalf, and the four hobbits walked into the bar area. Naturally, they grew suspicious when TC and MC were nowhere to be found.
Sam paled. "Oh no!" he cried. "Poor Bill! He was left unguarded!" Sam then raced for the stables, the other three hobbits following.
Sam was dismayed, yet not surprised, when he did not find Bill in his stall. The missing pony (and hobbits) were quickly located, however, by MC's screams.
Sam, Frodo, Merry, and Pippin ran outside of the stables. They saw MC run by, then a few seconds later TC trotted by on Bill, TC grinned wildly. She moved Bill up a gait and caught up with MC, and started circling her. This enraged Sam (just because Bill was involved. He cared nothing for the fact that MC was terrified by the horse).
MC began screaming at TC to let her out, but TC continued circling. It only took moments for Sam to step in and stop the ordeal, for Bill's sake.
After Sam had put Bill away, the hobbits all sat and stared at each other, unsure of what to do. The silence did not last long, as Gandalf quickly found them and informed them it was time to sleep.
They stayed the night at the Prancing Pony, and in the morning they left for Hobbiton.
There was almost complete silence as they were riding through the woods in the Shire. Naturally, this was quickly changed.
"42." MC said quietly.
"42!" TC said a bit louder.
"42!"
"42!"
The girls continued this, each time getting louder, until they were screaming, and Gandalf had to yell at them to shut up.
Shortly, they reached Tom Bombadil's house, where Gandalf parted. He wished Frodo and Sam 'good luck' and the hobbits went on to Hobbiton.
"Well, here we are, just the six of us that started out together," Sam said. "We have left all the rest behind, on after another. It seems almost like a dream that has slowly faded."
"Not to me." Frodo said. "To me it feels more like falling asleep again."
A/N: Those last two lines were in RotK, I love those lines, and thought it'd be cool to end the chapter that way, except in the book, Merry said it, not Sam. and the 'fun' song TC and MC sang is from Spongebob Squarepants.
