The Road Goes Ever On And On

Part II: Anywhere But Home

Chapter Twenty: Road Trip!

Tithenwen and Nicholas raced off to find all of Tithenwen's friends. They ran into Tithenwen's cousin, Becca, first, who was surprised to see them.

"What's going on?" asked Becca looking from Tithenwen to Nicholas back to Tithenwen again.

"Well, Nicholas and I are going to get married…" Tithenwen began, but was cut off by her cousin.

"Really? It's about time!" interjected Becca, a smile on her face.

Tithenwen shot Becca a dirty look. "That is if we can convince Elrond and the Lady of the Golden Wood to okay it. And I'm not looking forward to that."

"Why not?"

"Last time I saw Elrond, he tried to kill my ada. And he's a creepy greedy dress wearer who just happens to hate me and ada."

"That sucks. What can I do?"

"Go get your stuff and prepare to leave. I'm going to round up everyone else and we'll meet you at the SUV in two hours."

Becca nodded and ran off and Nicholas and Tithenwen went on their way once more. They got luckily and ran into a big group of their friends. Dolly was talking to Faramir and Mary in the middle of the hallway.

"Hey guys, who wants to go on a road trip?" Tithenwen asked as they joined the group.

"What's the road trip for?" Mary asked, wondering what was going on, and slightly suspicious.

"To torture Elrond?" suggested Tithenwen.

"Count me in!" Mary cried eagerly and Faramir and Dolly also agreed to come along. Mary loved to torture people!

Tithenwen smiled and then they were on their way once more. Now they only had to find Emily, Jon, Merry, Pippin and maybe Kate, Legolas and Gimli. Finding the four ghosts wouldn't be hard, but tracking down her crazy best friend might be. Maybe Kate would just stay there. After fifteen minutes of searching, Tithenwen and Nicholas came across the four ghosts who were armed with marshmallows and flame throwers.

"Now what do you think you are doing?" Tithenwen asked, hands on her hips and the four ghosts paled at the voice.

"Um, nothing?" Emily said innocently. She was worried what Tithenwen was up to since she knew that they had pissed her off earlier.

"Sure you're not," Tithenwen said, a suspicious tone in her voice.

"We aren't lying for once!" Pippin cried out. "Honest!"

"Shut it Pip!" Merry yelled at his cousin.

"What did I do?" Pippin asked, completely confused as to why Merry was yelling at him.

"Never mind," said Merry shaking his head and Pippin still looked very confused.

"Why?"

"Cause…"

"Why?"

"Argh!" cried Merry, tackling Pippin and tickling the younger Hobbit. He didn't want to play the 'why?' game that day. Nicholas laughed at the two Hobbits but Tithenwen just rolled her eyes and shook her head and tried to keep from laughing.

"So, anyone want to go torture Elrond?" Tithenwen asked once Merry and Pippin had stopped tickling each other.

"ME!" cried all four ghosts and Tithenwen smiled and left with Nicholas.

Tithenwen later tracked down Kate and told her what was going on and Kate ran off to find Legolas. Then Tithenwen and Nicholas had parted ways so they could pack their own stuff. About an hour later, everyone was waiting by the SUV and seat assignments were about to be given. Mary had volunteered to drive and Faramir looked like he was about to die. Apparently Mary was a crazy driver.

"Since I'm driving," Mary began. "All ghosts must remain quiet and seated in the trunk at all times."

"Boo!" cried Pippin, Merry, Emily, and Jon.

"Moo!" protested Emily. Quiet was not in her nature.

"Oh get over it! Kate, Legolas, Gimli, back row. Faramir, passengers seat. Dolly, pick a middle seat and that's all!"

"What about me?" asked Becca.

"You're riding horseback with me and Nicholas," Tithenwen said.

"Race you to the stable!" Becca challenged and took off, Tithenwen hot on her heels. Nicholas followed.

All the belongings were loaded into the SUV and once everyone was in their seat, Mary hit the gas and kicking up some mud, took off in the SUV. Tithenwen, Nicholas and Becca would be taking shortcuts through the woods and would meet up with the SUV later. They left a few minutes alter once they had tacked up and Tithenwen had lent Becca some Ranger clothes to ride in.

Author's Notes:

And so begins Part II! Hope you all liked it! Next update maybe this weekend (March 18-20) but then again my sister is coming up L so I can't make any promises. But I have Thursday and Friday off from school, so maybe I can get some writing done. But my sister will be here by Thursday, so who knows? She's already screwing up my break! Argh! I was supposed to be going back to my aunt's, but that's not happening now! And my sister's coming back up either the Friday or Saturday before Easter and will be up until the Sunday after Easter! At least I don't have to give up my room this time! I'll shut up now.

Reviewers!

Mr. Random – Glad you liked the last chapter! Though, I think everyone is going to enjoy part II more than part I or at least I hope so!

Boromir's Curse – The dresses are sooo toast! Hehe, Elrond will not have a clue as to what the hell hit him! And Denethor and Boromir may just make an appearance at some point. Randomness rules! Enjoy!
