Chapter 2 – Insane Elf on Aisle Five

Summary of Chapter 2: Ivy and Electra find an insane elf in the hallway of castle Roogna who is followed soon by eight others who call themselves the Fellowship of the ring. Electra and Ivy have to try and keep the fellowship from killing themselves.

Ivy and Electra were downstairs in the kitchen untangling a rope of string beans when they heard voice screaming something like "Dad Haw-bit" she couldn't tell what exactly the voice was screaming. Electra and Ivy abandoned the rope of string beans and ran up stairs to find the source of the voice. In the hallway outside of Dolph's room they found what looked to be a man with long blonde hair with pointy ears in strange clothing running around like a maniac waving his arms and yelling. The man stopped yelling and running as they stood at the top of the staircase and turned to them saying, "Hullo" politely before another person fell out of the thin air right on to his head knocking him to the ground.

Ivy went "Eeek" getting a good three e's into it just a princess should; Electra almost cursed under her breath for forgetting again when to say "eek" before realizing cursing was un-princessly as well. They now noticed there was another person who had been on the floor, a child from the looks of it. So now there was three people lying in the hallway. The strange blonde man was trying to get up again now. The child who had just fallen out of the ceiling was now talking, presumably to the blonde man; "Oi, I fell like I may have eaten too many of those elvish pastries" the blonde man wiggled from underneath him as fast as he could saying loudly "EWW! don't barf on me!"

The blonde man walked up to Ivy and Electra now free of the other two. He introduced himself gracefully "Hello my fine ladies", Electra giggled, " I am Prince Legolas Greenleaf of Mirkwood from Middle Earth. Whom may you be?" Electra heard the other person now standing behind Legolas muttering something like "Show-off". Ivy took over " I am Princess Ivy of Xanth, and this is Princess Electra who is betrothed to Prince Dolph. Who are your companions?"

Legolas was happy that they were kind and started to tell them about the hobbits behind him. "This is Peregrin Took" He said indicating the hobbit that stood behind him " everyone calls him Pippin, and that is his cousin", he pointed to the lump on the floor, "Meriadoc Brandybuck, he goes by Merry. They are hobbits of the Shire. A person fell from nowhere and landed on top of Merry. Legolas continued uninterrupted, "That's Boromir, captain of Gondor. Another person fell out of thin air and landed on Merry and Boromir. "That's Gandalf the Gray, He's a wizard. Legolas said. All of a sudden yet another two people fell on the pile. And that's Gimli son of Gloin a dwarf from Dale. And Frodo Baggins, the ring bearer, he is from the Shire too. Ivy was astonished by all these people falling out of nowhere into the castle, "is that all of you?" she asked Legolas shook his head "Aragorn, and Sam are missing"

Meanwhile

Finally the only two of the fellowship were left, Sam and Aragorn. "Your next Sam" Aragorn said gravely. Sam took a step towards the fountain and peered in for a second than began to back away slowly. "Well Mr. Strider, um, you see, I can't swim very well so I think I'll just-"; Sam dashed away at full speed mid-sentance. Aragorn had seen it coming sprinting towards Sam, he dived. The small hobbit was faster than he had guessed so Aragorn ended up with a face full of grass and dirt. He did however manage to grab Sam's ankles thus tripping him too. Sam was thrashing about wildly kicking and screaming, trying to get away from Aragorn. Aragorn spit out the grass in his mouth and sat up getting a better grip on the flailing hobbit's foot. Aragorn proceeded to stand up still holding Sam's ankle and drag him towards the mirror. Sam was panicked; He was clawing at the grass seeking a hold as if it was his last hope, he managed to find an old tree root and clung to it for dear life. Aragorn tugged and pulled, he couldn't get the hobbit to let go. Aragorn gave up the dragging technique grabbed Sam around the waist and threw the hobbit over his shoulder. Sam started to kick and scream with twice the energy of before as Strider managed to lug him closer to the mirror. Celeborn meanwhile had watched this whole ordeal and was rolling on the ground near the mirror laughing; Aragorn made sure to give him a meaningful kick before walking the last few steps to Galadriel's mirror and touching the water.

Meanwhile

"Who are Sam and Aragorn" Electra asked Legolas respectfully, Legolas answered her in equal politeness, "well Aragorn is the heir to the throne of Gondor, and Sam is Frodo's gardener." Just as he finished saying this Aragorn and Sam fell to the floor. Aragorn was holding a kicking and screaming Sam in his arms tightly trying to avoid being hit by his thrashing fists and feet. Sam was screaming something about not being able to swim. Aragorn released Sam as soon as he could and hurriedly scooted away. Sam stopped yelling and looked around to find the entire fellowship and two ladies staring at him. Sam blushed dark red. Aragorn explained, "He refused to go through the mirror because he can't swim so I had to drag him…"

Ivy and Electra were still bewildered; even if they now knew who they were they still had no clue as to who they were. Electra plunged into it, "So Why are you here?" Legolas looked at Electra, "we are here on a mission…" the elf's eyes were tearing up. " To rescue my-my…" Legolas couldn't continue due to the fact that he was now a sobbing heap on the floor, in fact he was of no more use that Merry was at the moment. Aragorn patted the wailing elf awkwardly on the head and faced Electra, "Well you see his rubber duck (Legolas cries louder at the word 'Duck') kinda got sucked into your world so we have come here to find his Du- uh I mean…thing." Aragorn said, attempting to maneuver around the word du- uh I mean Clears throat yeah…

Later (Merry is conscious and feeling better and Legolas has stopped bawling)

Ivy sat in the library with her head in her hands, how was she going to explain this to her father, Dor? That nine members of the fellowship from a different world had dropped out of nowhere into castle Roogna on a quest to find a rubber duck! Oh well she would just have to deal with it. She looked up to find Electra chasing around the hobbits and the elf that had just stolen a cherry bomb. Electra was screaming to give it back and that it wasn't safe; she had just succeeded in getting Pippin into a corner when he threw it over her head right to Frodo. Electra gasped as there was a small explosion and Frodo was in the middle of it. Electra ran to get the healing elixir as the rest of the Fellowship were too busy laughing at the hobbit that had been blasted. One thing was for sure…the Fellowship had to be educated…
