Lord of the Rings: Middle Earth High
Summary: Merry and Pippin troublemakers, Aragorn and Arwen going to the prom, Legolas, Faramir and Éowyn in drama club, Boromir and Éomer football players, and Gandalf a science teacher? It's Middle Earth High, of course!
Disclaimer: No, my precious, JRR Tolkien doesn't own it, somewhere out there, Middle Earth is there, and I'm going to find it! Muahahahahaha! Hey, wait, if it's not JRR Tolkien's, then can it be mine? Ok, so maybe it is his…
Chapter 6- History, Literature and Art
Soon enough, the students got Gandalf's classroom spic-and-span. By that time, class was over, but Gandalf came over the PA system and said all the students could be late for class, because they all had to get themselves cleaned up.
The line for the bathroom was enormous, and everyone was trying to get in and cleaned up. The three girls had it easy; they could all fit in easily in theirs. But all of the boys were waiting in the line, and unfortunately, Legolas was last. So by the time everyone else was cleaned up, he was just getting in.
Just as the students were all getting seated, and all was quiet, they heard a bloodcurdling scream pierce the silence!
Just as the bell rang for Celeborn's history class, Legolas appeared at the door, in full, red-headed glory.
"Whoa, Legolas!" Aragorn said. "I didn't think you'd go for the punk look, but-"
Legolas marched up to Faramir. Inches from his face, he said angrily through clenched teeth, "Your dumb project turned my hair RED!"
Faramir's face was turning nearly purple from contained laughter at the red-headed Elf standing in front of him. "Oops," he simply said and burst into hysterics, along with the rest of the class.
"Stupid Elf has colorful hair!" Gollum shouted while laughing.
"Why, you miserable little maggot! I'm gonna wring your neck!" Legolas shouted at him.
"But that's my job!" Sam said sadly.
"Alright everyone, settle down." Celeborn said, walking into the classroom, a donut in hand from the teacher's lounge. "Now, today we will be- Great Valar! Legolas, what have you done to your hair?" He got back an angry glare. "Kids this Age…" Celeborn muttered. "Ok then, let's just open our textbooks and begin our lesson today with the First Age," Celeborn said to the class as they followed said instruction. "Now follow along as I read. 'It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three Rings were given to the Elves…'"
The rest of history went quickly. For all of class, they read from the book, and then wrote a paragraph on why Isildur should've destroyed the Ring when he had the chance. Except Gollum of course, who didn't follow the writing prompt and wrote about why it was good that Isildur didn't destroy it, because he loved "the Precious."
And then it was time for Literature with Théoden.
"Good afternoon, class!" Théoden said cheerfully as he walked in the door. He got no response from the class; only silence and crickets chirping from somewhere in the background. "Ok, looks like you are all feeling glum. But I have something that will cheer you up: We are starting a new book today! It is called There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale." More silence, and more crickets chirping. "Aren't any of you excited?" More crickets. "Goodness, Gollum, lunchtime is over! Put the crickets away!" Gollum sulked and put the jar of crickets in his desk.
"Eww…" the girls said concurrently.
"So as I said, we are starting a new book called There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale." Théoden said as he passed out the books. "Now start on page one." He said once everybody had gotten a book.
"No, I was gonna start on page 90," Éomer whispered sarcastically to Aragorn.
"I heard that, Éomer! And by the way, you're holding your book upside-down," Théoden said as the whole class laughed at a blushing Éomer…
And lastly, there was art. With…
Saruman. He was extremely old, but a new teacher to Middle Earth High, and he had never taught kids before. "Hello, my victims, I mean class!" he said as he came in. "Now, is everyone here?" The class nodded. "Ok, then let's get started! Today we will be sculpting! Who knows what sculpting is?" he asked the class.
Frodo raised his hand. "Uh, when you make stuff out of clay or stone or stuff?" he answered.
"Very good, Frodo! You get a gold star,"Saruman said as he gave Frodo a sticker.
"Thanks..." Frodo said uncertainly.
"So, today we will be sculpting columns out of stone! Then we'll be putting them up in my kingdom of Isengard! Then I can make you my slaves forever! How does that sound?"
"But why do we have to be your slaves?" Pippin asked.
"Because you, Pippin, are young and stupid and I am very wise and powerful!" Saruman said. "Now," he said as he led the students out to the courtyard where an immense slab of stone lay, "Get sculpting!"
A/N: Yay! Another chapter! The idea of Leggie's hair turning red was submitted by GoldenFaielf! Everybody clap! Applause All readers: be like GoldenFaielf and submit ideas for the story in your reviews! I will definitely put them in!
I am wondering: Did this story show up on the list of "Lord of the Rings" stories? I know the story is on the site somewhere because you all are reading it, and it is also on my bio. But it never seems to show up on the list! And when I did a search on it, it didn't come up either. It's the same with my POTC story, "Life on the Seas." Anyone have any info?
But anyways, here is an update, hope you like, and here's to the reviewers!
Amalita: Woohoo! Glad you like! Here is an update!
indiegurl2008: Ahem, yeah nice review with you and your alter ego. Yeah, there was some more of Sam in this chapter and the last one; he is cool, I like him too! Oh yeah, Denethor is an idiot, he is very weird. Pyromaniac!
Amalita's other review: Gimli and Elrond? Elrond was going to be the Elvish teacher; he will be there soon. I wasn't planning on putting Gimli into the story; I don't like him that much. But if my reviewers have spoken… I will put him in somewhere. I was thinking of making Gandalf the principal, since he has already dealt with Merry and Pippin…
mz-turner: Whoa, that is a crazy story. My friends and I get into that sort of trouble too!A few days ago therewas our"lunch-box football" tournament in the cafeteria, and- well, I won't go into detail… Middle Earth High was kinda modeled after my school, but unfortunately, no one's science project has ever exploded.
GoldenFaielf: Even more great ideas from you! I love the idea of turning Leggie's hair red. I was laughing as I wrote this! Frodo will do his back flip in their next school day in Gym. That should come inone or two chapters. By the way, I will try to read one of your stories, but I can't guarantee anything; I am so busy with my own stories!
Trish Shakespeare: 1st person plural, 2nd person plural, whatever! I never listen in English class. You are too smart, mon ami. You French speaker! I am in el classe de espanol!
