Disclaimer: Muahahahahaha! I own LOTR, everything, it's all MINE! "IN PLACE OF A DARK LORD, YOU WILL HAVE A QUEEN! NOT DARK BUT BEAUTIFUL AND TERRIBLE AS THE DAWN! TREACHEROUS AS THE SEA! STRONGER THAN THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH! ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR!" What? I can, dream, right?
Chapter 5- Science Experiments and History Class
Soon the all the students, except Gollum, were seated in Gandalf's class, had been called on for role, and were listening to Gandalf's instructions. "Now, as you all know, all of your science projects are due today. You will be giving your presentation in front of the class."
"Great," whispered Sam to Frodo, "I'm terrible at presentations."
"Don't worry, Sam, you'll do fine. You and I practiced all last night," Frodo said.
"I will grade you for the quality of your project, and for your presentation," Gandalf continued. "Now since, Samwise Gamgee, you are having a side conversation with Mr. Baggins over here, you can go first and talk to the whole class. Go ahead!"
Sam gulped, picked up his project, and walked up to the front of the classroom. "Hi everybody," he said as he crossed his fingers behind his back for luck. "My project is called the, uh," He looked around the room nervously. Frodo mouthed out "Lemon Juice Light Bulb." Sam smiled. "Yes, the Lemon Juice Light Bulb, as it says here on my chart. Yeah, right here, see my chart?" He smiled nervously. "For my experiment, I took the light bulb and wrapped the wires around its base. Then I attached the wires to the lemon, creating a full circuit, and..." Sam finished explaining his procedures, and then demonstrated it. "As you can see, the citric acid in the lemon creates energy; therefore, the light turns on!" And with the final touches, Sam hooked up his light and, like he said, it turned on.
"The what makes what happen?" Pippin asked Merry.
"The lemon juice makes the light turn on," Merry explained in words Pippin could understand.
"Oh, I get it," Pippin said nodding.
"Alright, the beginning was a bit shaky, but you did an excellent job, Samwise. You get an A." Gandalf said. Sam smiled shakily and sat down. Merry and Pippin both gave him a thumbs-up.
Soon the door opened, and Gollum was dragged in the classroom by Grima. "No! Don't make us go back! We hates it! We wants the precious!" Gollum screamed.
"Ah, Gollum, delightful to see you here," Gandalf said with just a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Thank you, Grima, for returning him."
Grima nodded and walked out saying something like, "I don't get paid enough to do this job."
"Okay, any volunteers to go second?" Gandalf asked the class once Grima had left.
Faramir was still annoyed about the potato incident, so he took Éowyn's hand and raised it. "Faramir! I don't wanna go!" she said. And with that she twisted her hand around, grabbing Faramir's wrist so it looked like Faramir was actually raising his hand. Just for fun and to make it convincing, Éowyn waved it about a few times.
"Alright Faramir, you can go, since you are so desperate to." Faramir stood up and walked to the front of the classroom. When Gandalf turned his head, he stuck his tongue out at Éowyn, who returned the gesture. "I saw that, Faramir!" Gandalf said, turning around. Faramir sighed. It was hard having a wizard for a teacher. "Alright, start your presentation." Gandalf said.
"Alright everyone," Faramir said a low, announcer-like voice, "be prepared for the terrifying, the amazing, immense Mt. Doom!" He unveiled his wondrous work, or in other words, took the sheet off of his project. It was a plaster formed, mountain-looking object with a hole in the side and top, painted brown, black and grey in some parts to resemble stone. As a joke, Éowyn and Arwen got the whole class ooh-ing and ahh-ing. Faramir ignored it. "So, when I put in the baking soda and vinegar together," doing so as he spoke, "it causes a chemical reaction, and-" he added some red food dye in for color, "it should erupt! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Nothing happened.
"Yep, any minute now this thing will go off!"
Still nothing.
"What is this stupid thing doing?" Faramir muttered irritated. He added more baking soda and vinegar. And—
Nothing.
"What, is, wrong?" Faramir muttered through his clenched teeth. He added the whole box of baking soda and the whole bottle of vinegar. The same result. Faramir was so annoyed; he whacked the project on the side, in hopes that it would spur some magical reaction. His hopes were crushed.
"Well, Faramir, your project was turned in, so you at least got a grade for that, but since it didn't work, your grade will go down." Gandalf said.
"Aw man," Faramir said. "It worked at home."
"Well," said Gandalf, "it didn't work here, and that's what you are being graded on, so-" Suddenly a low rumbling, bubbling noise was heard as Faramir returned to his seat.
"Faramir, your project is doing something..." Aragorn said as he pointed at the shaking project.
"Yes! It's working! It's gonna, it's gonna-"
Red foam spewed out of the holes in the project, covering the unfortunate hobbits who had to sit up front. It began to spread throughout the room, starting to hit the other students, and then-
BOOM! The project exploded, totally covering everyone in the room with a mixture of baking soda, vinegar, and a dash of red dye.
The project quietly fizzed and hissed and then the sound went out, leaving no sound but dripping foam from everyone and everything. Faramir finallly broke the silence after a few seconds, though they had seemed like an eternity to him. "It's gonna blow?" he simply said, completing his previous sentence. This triggered all the others reactions, which was not a pretty sight.
"First potatoes, now this? What's next, will you be spitting on me? I am your girlfriend, I have full rights to slap you." Éowyn yelled at the poor student, who was very afraid of being slapped.
"AHHHHHHH! It burns us! It freezes!" Gollum shrieked.
"MY NEW JEANS! I'm going to KILL you, Faramir!" Arwen yelled.
"Yeah, it's gonna blow, ya think?" Aragorn yelled out.
"We HATE the front seats!" yelled all five hobbits simultaneously.
"Good going, Romeo!" Legolas yelled sarcastically.
"Didn't I tell you at home not to put in so much baking soda and vinegar? You practically blew up Minas Tirith with that one. Why don't you listen to me, brother?" Boromir yelled.
"Now we can be covered in food and foamy red stuff!" Éomer yelled.
"Yuck! This is gross!" Elladan and Elrohir yelled.
Faramir was overwhelmed by all of this, happening at the same time nonetheless, so Gandalf decided to help him. "QUIET!" he yelled, taking his turn in the yelling.
Outside, Galadriel and Celeborn were walking through the hall to the teacher's lounge. "Hold on," Celeborn said as he stopped outside Gandalf's classroom. They both listened to all the yelling, and finally heard Gandalf yell, "QUIET!"
Galadriel shook her head in sorrow. "Poor old wizard," she said. "Must be his teaching period." With that the both continued down the hallway at a much faster pace, trying to get away from all the kids and noise.
"Thank you," Gandalf said with the class finally quiet, "Now, I know we all are angry, and it's irritating to be covered in this," he paused, trying to find a way to describe the red mess that they were in, "stuff, but that's how science works sometimes. It can have errors."
"So?" Rosie said. "He at least could've been a little more considerate of people in the front!"
"How was I supposed to know it would explode?" Faramir asked. "Like I said, it worked at home!"
"Yeah, like once!" Boromir retorted.
"Alright, alright, now I think that's the end of projects for today. So Faramir, say sorry to the class, and everybody, let's clean up this mess."
"Sorry everyone," Faramir said. He went to get sponges with everyone else grumbling, "That's the second time today I've had to say sorry to the class."
Everyone else went to get their cleaning materials grumbling, "This is the second time today we've been covered in something gross, and the second time we've had to clean up some mess that wasn't our fault."
It was a long time, the remainder of class.
A/N: Ok, just to remind you, when it says "the five hobbits," I am also referring to Rosie Cotton. She isn't mentioned a lot in the books or movies, but I figured that I had to get more girls in this story! Oh yeah, the ideas of Faramir's science project exploding and Boromir, Arwen, and Éowyn falling asleep in English from the previous chapter are both credited to my wonderful reader and reviewer, GoldenFaielf. Also last chapter's spelling word, "antidisestablishmentarianism" is credited to GoldenFaielf. It was great fun to incorporate the ideas into the story! If readers have any ideas or suggestions, please include them in reviews and I will try to add them into the story. So please follow the following good example and review!
mz-turner- Aha, I see you've found one of my other stories! Gollum is so funny, even in the movies. My friend and I were watching TTT and cracking up when Faramir says "What did they steal?" and Gollum/Sméagol replies "My Precious! AAHHHHHH!" laughs at Gollum's funny expression Ok, sorry, anyways, glad you like my story!
