Chapter Eleven: ROAD TRIP!!
It was a bright, early summer morning and Legolas Greenleaf was happily snoring, his head on his pillow and the rest of him on Becky's bright purple carpet and covered with a fluffy blanket.
He was however rudely awakened by someone pouncing on him and placing a hand over his mouth. Within seconds, that someone was tied up with Legolas' blanket and his pillowcase was over her head.
Of course that someone was Becky. She was already dressed in a fuchsia pink skirt and a pink fluffy top. On her feet were high platform boots.
Legolas then looked around and realized that the entire room was awake. Missy was applying makeup in front of Becky's full-length mirror. The Hobbits and Gimli were dressing in human children's clothing, looking rather out of place. Aragorn was attempting to get into a pair of jeans Becky had stolen from her father's cupboard. He was already wearing a green striped T-shirt. Gandalf was dressed in a suit, tie and all.
"What's going on here?" Legolas asked, looking down at Becky.
"Well if you'd kindly untie me?!" Becky demanded, from underneath the pillowcase. Legolas sighed and reluctantly pulled the pillowcase off Becky's head and began undoing her bonds.
"Well?" Legolas asked, folding up the blanket and placing the pillow back in the pillowcase. (He was growing up to be such a neat Elf.)
"We're going on a road trip!" Becky declared, excitedly. "Why do you think I'm awake at bleedin' half-past six for?"
"A road trip? What is that?" Legolas looked confused. He was however not allowed to ask anything else because Missy tossed a shirt and jeans at him and instructed him to get dressed quickly and quietly.
"Now kids, you're going to actually have to be verrrrrrry veeeeeeeeeeery quiet right now, okay?" Missy instructed, grabbing Becky by the elbow and towing her out the door. "We're going to get a few supplies in the kitchen and we'll be right back. DON'T GO ANYWHERE!"
As soon as the cousins tiptoed out the door, Gandalf closed and locked the door behind them and went back to fixing his outfit.
Becky and Missy tiptoed down the stairs to the kitchen, making sure not to move or breathe too loudly. When they arrived at the kitchen they set about to do their task very quickly.
Becky and Missy each carried five backpacks which they promptly began filling with whatever came into sight. That included: chips, dip, chocolate, heck the kitchen clock.
When Missy saw her cousin packing away the kitchen clock, she bopped her over the head and asked what the fuzzy was she doing?
Becky giggled and replaced the kitchen clock on the wall. She immediately dropped to her knees and began scanning the floor for grocery bags that were hidden. She looked oddly like a female Tom Cruise from Mission: Impossible.
Missy just shook her head and began throwing in cans of Sprite and Coke into her backpacks.
"Becky, will you stop being stupid and LET'S GO!!" Missy whispered hurriedly. She could swear that she heard movement from Becky's parents' bedroom.
Her cousin sighed and picked herself off the floor and went back to packing her bags with goodies.
The cousins then tiptoed back up the stairs quickly, stealing the car keys from the little hook in the hallway. They snuck back into the room to find that everyone was finally dressed.
"Okay. I think we're all set," Missy said, surveying the room. She pulled out a clipboard and began checking off things. "Dressed Fellowship?"
"CHECK!" Becky said, walking around the room, pulling on Gandalf's tie and pulling on Merry's socks. "Darling, the socks are supposed to go on first, then the shoes!"
"Food?" Missy asked, fluffy pink pen hovering over the scented pink page.
"Food," Becky affirmed, opening the backpacks and checking the food. She began distributing them to each member of the Fellowship. She did not notice that Merry and Pippin had seen the food and were exchanging happy looks.
"Car keys?" Missy asked, then looked in her pocket. "Never mind. I have them."
"Okay! Everything's ready! Let's go!" Missy whispered, slinging her food backpack over her shoulder and picking up her clothes and makeup suitcase.
Everyone else followed Missy's example, slinging their backpacks on their shoulder and picking up their clothes suitcases.
Becky led the way, silently (for once) leading everyone successfully downstairs and out the front door with Missy bringing up the rear...in time to see Becky's parents drive off with the car.
The Fellowship stood in shock, their jaws hanging open as they watched the back of Becky's car disappear down the road.
"I totally did not see that coming. Did anyone else see that coming? I did not see that coming," Becky said. "I did not see that coming. Did you see that coming, cousin Missy? I did not see that coming."
"SIT DOWN," Missy commanded, pushing her cousin down to sit on the pavement. "Take deep breaths."
"OUR PLAN IS RUINED!" Becky screamed, causing the Fellowship to jump. "HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GO ON OUR ROAD TRIP?!!"
Becky burst into hysterical tears and all cousin Missy could do was pat her on the back. Legolas came over reluctantly and sat next to the sobbing fangirl.
"Oh well, Becky," Legolas said comfortingly. "At least now you can tell me what a road trip is."
The rest of the Fellowship nodded their agreement and came over to sit on the pavement next to Becky. The fangirl sighed and hopped into Legolas' lap and began explaining the concept of a road trip (including several references to movies.)
Ten minutes later the Fellowship was fully briefed on road trips and Gandalf's beard was twitching dangerously.
"That was...interesting," Sam whispered to Frodo who had turned green. (Does he turn another colour?!)
"So where exactly were we going to go to?" Gimli asked, helping himself to chocolate chip cookies from his backpack.
"Not sure," Missy replied, shrugging. She stole a cookie from Gimli. "The beach, the next town, shopping. SOMETHING!!"
"OOH!! IDEA! NEWSFLASH!" Becky leapt to her feet and took off down the road. "COME ON GUYS!! Bring your stuff with you!"
The Fellowship and Missy exchanged confused looks but nevertheless hurried down the road after Becky. They quickly caught up with her but let her lead the way...to the bus station.
"The bus station?!" Missy asked, hands on hips, looking lost. "We don't have enough money to get back to your house! And besides, people are going to recognize them if we get on a bus."
Missy pointed in the direction of the Fellowship who were quickly eating their way through their rations. She bopped them over their heads and made them stop.
"Well you're the only poor one here," Becky declared, holding up her backpack. "I am rich like Aragorn. WOOT WOOT! The Legolas Trust Fund goes a loooooong way."
She suddenly disappeared, taking off so quickly Missy had to blink.
"I've got a trust fund?" Legolas asked, coming over to Missy.
"I'm rich?" Aragorn echoed, pushing Legolas aside. "How come nobody told me?"
"The Legolas Trust Fund is not exactly a trust fund for you," Missy explained. "She just gave it that name because she was feeling a little loony that day. The Legolas trust fund is actually all the money she has accumulated over the years (which is not very much granted...more like none actually) and that she spends on Lord of the Rings memorabilia. You see how much of that she has, so I don't think she has more than eighty-nine cents. And Aragorn, you're not rich. That's just a metaphor."
"That has got to be the sanest thing she's ever said to me and we've been here on Earth for seven months," Aragorn whispered to Legolas who nodded in agreement.
"Where did Becky go?" Pippin asked, stealing Gimli's cookie when he wasn't looking.
"Hey! What's that?!" Frodo cried, pointing at a large, Greyhound bus that came racing towards them, swaying unsteadily.
The bus quickly came into view and they all saw an insane, brunette fan at the wheel.
"I'm going on a JOYRIDE!" Becky squealed, as the bus raced past the Fellowship, bouncing down the road. "COME ON GUYS!"
The Fellowship and Missy sprinted down the block, struggling to get close enough to the bus.
"Hop in guys!" Becky yelled, opening the door. "GET IN FAST!!"
The Fellowship and Missy were dumbfounded but they hurried into the bus and sat in the seats. The Fellowship looked completely confused and just stared at everything in amazement. (Becky and Missy had never hijacked a car...let alone a bus.)
Missy pushed Becky's butt over and sat down in the bus driver's seat next to her cousin.
"This seat is really only big enough for one of us," Becky pouted at the loss of half of her seat.
"Can you actually drive this thing?" Missy asked, ignoring Becky's protest.
"Hell yeah!" Becky said, pulling the bus away from the curb and they drove unsteadily down the road. "Hold on to your breakfast kids!"
The Hobbits looked at each other in horror and tightened their grips on the food bags. Legolas immediately grabbed a plastic bag and held it in front of his mouth.
"Wait a minute. You're not even old enough to go to the grocery by yourself, how the heck are you driving a bus? GIVE ME THE WHEEL!" Missy said, grabbing the wheel and attempting to wrench it away from Becky.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Becky yelled, grabbing back the wheel. The cousins grappled for control of the bus wheel. Becky had an obsession with the gas pedal and insisted on not moving her foot.
"OLD LADY!!" Missy screeched, kicking Becky's foot off the gas and hitting the brakes with her other foot. The bus screeched to a halt, narrowly avoiding the old lady who had begun to cross the street.
The entire occupants of the bus toppled out of their seats and landed on the floor. Food bags, clothes bags and makeup bags went flying. Becky and Missy found themselves on the floor, Becky squashed underneath her cousin's feet.
"MOVE IT GRANDMA!" Becky screeched, scrambling to her feet and regaining control of the bus. She slammed her foot on the gas and they raced past Grandma (whoever's Grandma she was.)
Missy had also gotten to her feet and the fight for the wheel began again. The bus was jerked from left to right and then backwards and forwards as the cousins fought.
Aragorn and Legolas both turned green and nearly lost their lunch. The Hobbits were hiding under the seats and whimpering. Gimli had actually fallen asleep. And Gandalf, was sneaking his way to the front, staff in hand.
Before Becky and Missy knew what was going on, they'd received a staff each to the head and were sprawled out now on the floor. Through woozy eyes, they saw Gandalf take control of the bus and it had stopped bouncing and swaying.
Gandalf calmly put on his seat belt and straightened his hat. He continued driving at the natural speed of 60 mph.
The rest of the Fellowship and the cousins just stared at Gandalf in shock.
"Ookay then. I think I'm gonna see if my baby needs love," Becky said, getting to her feet and going to Legolas who was mopping at his face with a handkerchief. "Come here, pookie!"
That just made Legolas even sicker and he raced to the back of the bus to find the men's bathroom.
"Dang. He's good," Becky said, plopping down into Legolas' vacated seat. "They're all good. What do we have to teach them anyway?"
"TO BE INSANE!" Missy replied and began dancing in her seat. "WE'RE GOING ON A JOYRIDE!"
"Woot! We're going on a joyride! We're going on a joyride!" Becky began dancing around too.
Four hours, thirty-six minutes and 12 seconds later...
"I think we're lost," Becky declared as Gandalf pulled the bus into a dusty, deserted gas station.
"Duh," Missy replied, rolling her eyes. "Do ya see anything but cactuses out here?!"
"But, there are gas stations, no?" Gandalf said, hopping out of the bus and going to put gas in the bus.
"Damn...he's frightening me," Becky said, glancing sideways at Missy who huddled closer to her.
"There must be someone here who can tell us where we are," Missy said, putting on her sunglasses and getting out the bus. She marched over to the mini-mart part, Becky and the Fellowship trailing behind her.
When she got in there, the only people behind the counter were three, grizzled looking old men.
"Hey old grizzled dudes. Like, where is here?" Missy said, marching up to the counter, grabbing a Milky Way on her way (LOL!!).
"Here is Nowheresville!" one of them answered and they all began to laugh hysterically.
"There's a place called Nowheresville?" Gimli whispered into Aragorn's ear. Aragorn just shrugged.
"MISSY!" Becky poked her cousin in the arm. "Those dudes look just like the dudes from Wrong Turn!!"
"Wrong what?!" Missy said, eyes widening in horror. "That's it. I'm getting out of here!"
Missy and Becky dashed out of the store, the Fellowship at their heels. The old men were still behind the counter chuckling evilly.
"Mommy, I'm hungry!" Merry tugged at Becky's elbow.
"There's food in your bag. Go eat that," Becky said, as they got back into the bus and Gandalf had stopped topping up the tank of gas.
"It's done," Merry shrugged and the rest of the Fellowship nodded.
"WHAT?!" Becky and Missy looked at each other. "Come on guys. That's not funny. That's all our food!"
"It's gone!" Aragorn protested, shaking an empty energy bar wrapper at them. "FEED US!"
The Fellowship backed Becky and Missy up against the bathrooms in the back and they all began chanting the names of various foods.
"Okay, okay!!" Missy yelled, grabbing her cousin's hand and towing her away from the circle. "We'll just go back in there and get you the food."
Becky and Missy went cautiously back into the mini-mart but the three grizzled old men were nowhere to be seen.
"Hey! They have ice-cream!" Becky exclaimed happily and began emptying the deep freeze. "Hey! They're fresh ice cream too. Expiring in 2007. COOL!"
"Er...I think this is stealing," Missy replied but she was filling her arms with candy bars. The cousins soon pulled out their backpacks and began filling them with all the food in sight.
Unnoticed the grizzled, old men had crept up behind the cousins and were silently staring them down. However, a certain hungry elf-prince and a certain hungrier future king saw them and immediately came plowing to the rescue of...their lunch.
"BACK AWAY FROM THE ICE-CREAM!" Legolas yelled, stringing his bow.
The three men, Becky and Missy jumped and they all held up their hands.
"We wasn't do anything!" The three men said in unison. "They was stealing our stuff!"
"AHHHHHH!! They're gonna attack me! RUN!" and with that Becky and Missy took off towards the bus, tossing a cheque at the grizzled old men and grabbing the food on their way out.
The three old men just stared at the cheque. One of them picked it up and began to nibble on the end. Soon all three of them were nibbling on the cheque.
Legolas and Aragorn just looked at each other, shrugged and followed their fangirls back to the bus.
Gandalf was sitting calmly on the steps of the bus when the four arrived running. He made a move to get into the driver's seat but Becky and Missy got there first and the fight for the seat commenced.
Gandalf, Legolas and Aragorn just looked at each other and shook their heads. They sat down and buckled down into their seats extra-tight.
The bus started up again and pulled away from the curb at full speed. It went bouncing down the road as Becky and Missy tugged wildly for control of the wheel.
"MY WHEEL!!" Becky screeched, wrenching the wheel from her cousin and nearly driving the bus off the road.
"NO! GIVE IT!" Missy dragged the wheel away from her cousin and the bus jerked off the road to the right.
The Hobbits sighed and began ripping open the new food supplies that the cousins had just brought back. Legolas and Aragorn commenced fighting for the only tub of a certain flavour of ice-cream, helping the bus bounce from side to side. Gandalf had tied his hat over his mouth and Gimli had gone back to his nap.
And so off they went, bouncing into the afternoon and going...nowhere in particular. Let's hope that our heroes find their way home...or survive.
WOOT! That was highly random. That's the end of Chapter Eleven. I hope you guys enjoyed it! I apologize again about our week with the temps not being posted. IT'S COMING SOON!!! Don't worry...I'll get to writing that chapter very soon. As for whether Becky, Missy and the Fellowship ever get back home...well I'm here talking to you now aren't I, so we must get home eventually. EVENTUALLY.
