Chapter 14- After School Clubs
But in this epic school adventure of our brave and valiant heroes, there is one thing missing: after-school activities. It was a Tuesday, and the list for that day was as follows:
Newspaper Club: Bilbo and Gandalf
Football: Celeborn and Thranduil
Cheerleading: Galadriel
All the students crowded around the list to see what they'd go to. Soon enough, the crowd had dispersed, and the students were off to whatever activities awaited them…
& At the Football Field…
"Alright," said Thranduil, "when I call your name, acknowledge your presence. Aragorn?"
"Here!"
"Boromir?"
"Present!"
"Éomer?"
"In attendance!"
"Faramir?"
"At hand!"
"Théodred?"
"Currently here, sir!"
"Gimli? And for Elbereth's sake, just say here!" Thranduil said.
"Here!"
"Haldir?"
"Here!"
"Elladan?"
"Here!"
"Elrohir?"
"Here!"
"And Legolas?" Nothing. "Legolas? Where's Legolas?"
Suddenly, Aragorn remembered. "Legolas is… inside. I'll go get him," he said as he ran off towards the school.
Aragorn ran into the gym to find Legolas, upside-down, talking to Pippin, who suddenly ran off at Aragorn's yelling.
"Legolas, YOU'D BETTER GET YOUR ELVISH ASS DOWN TO THE FIELD NOW!"
"A little help would be appreciated…" Legolas said.
"What's it worth to ya?" Aragorn smirked.
"JUST GET ME DOWN!" Legolas shouted.
"Ok, ok, don't be hasty," Aragorn said.
"What are you, an Ent or something?" Legolas said Aragorn worked on untying him. "AAAAH!"
THUMP
"You know, you could have at least warned me…"
& Back at the field
Legolas and Aragorn jogged back onto the field to be greeted by their fellow footballers. Éowyn had run up to Aragorn. "Aragorn! I'm to be sent with the girls into cheerleading," she said.
"So what do you want me to do about it?" he asked.
"Not… helping," Éowyn muttered, annoyed.
"Well, that is an honorable charge," Aragorn replied.
"To mind the crowds, to start the cheers up for the team? What renown is there in that?" Éowyn asked.
"Éowyn, a time may come for valor without renown. Who then will the team look to in the last defense?" Aragorn responded.
"Let me stand at your side," she said.
"It is not in my power to command it," said Aragorn as he turned away.
"You're the team captain! How can it not be in your power?" she asked. Aragorn shrugged his shoulders. "Fine! BE LIKE THAT, ARAGORN!" she yelled as she stalked off to join the cheerleaders in stretches.
"What was that about?" Boromir asked.
"She wanted to join the football team," Aragorn replied.
"She's always doing that," Éomer interjected. "Ever since we were born in a log cabin in Rohan…"
"Alright! Let's get to warm ups!" Aragorn yelled, cutting off the conversation. "Who wants to do monkey rolls?"
& Back inside…
The newspaper club, consisting of Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gollum, and Tom, was hard at work inside. Merry and Pippin had just edited their article, and were turning it into Gandalf, with hopes that it was good enough to be published. Said article read as follows:
Football Tryouts to be a Hit
By Meriadoc Brandybuck
Football tryouts are this week, and MEH is abuzz with the news. So far, ten students are signed up to try out. After interviewing Legolas, a player of last year's team, my comrade, Peregrin Took, has the story:
Pippin: So, Legolas, have you ever taken steroids?
Legolas: WHAT? What sort of question is that?
Pippin: Gandalf said it was alright. (smirks) At Bilbo's birthday party a few weeks ago...
Legolas: Err, no.
Pippin: Sure?
Legolas: Keep going!
Pippin: Alright, how has football changed your life?
Legolas: Well, I suppose it accounted for that broken shoulder last year…
Pippin: Alright, that's… nice. What position do you play?
Legolas: Well, I'm usually center offense, but Elladan and I can switch off for running back.
Pippin: How special.
Legolas: Yeah it is! Ask more questions. I'm not paid to listen to your comments.
Pippin: But you volunteered… never mind. One last question, do you think this season will be a success?
Legolas: Well, our offense was good last year, but Mordor beat us, so we might need better defense. I don't know about the new players trying out. (spasm of special irritation here) And if we can get GIMLI out of the way, then we can probably do well. And as for Aragorn, the-
Aragorn: (storms in) LEGOLAS, YOU'D BETTER GET YOUR ELVISH ASS DOWN TO THE FIELD NOW!
(end interview)
A/N: That seemed kinda short, for some reason. Whatever. This was originally supposed to be Ch. 7, but I have gotten so many ideas to put in, it had to wait. I love you all! Sorry about the wait. I would've put this up sooner, but first our internet was down and then I went for a 3-day camping trip. So here we are. Hey, I just remembered, my gym class started out gymnastics yesterday! I feel the students' pain! Wow, I've got a lot of reviews to reply to (I gotta get more up to date!). Here goes…
CHAPTER 12:
the7bells- Yep, he'd probably have to quit after he lit himself on fire. O happy day!
empath89- Yay! Here's another update!
Lily Took- Glad ya liked the songfic! Ok, ok, here's an update! I don't want Denethor as my teacher. English is already bad enough…
kingmaker- Good idea having the Witch King as a geek person. And thanks again for the idea, I've used it, as you can see from Ch. 13, to great success! Yes!
ForeverFaramir- I figured I needed something with Elladan and Elrohir, and the story mz-turner submitted sounded like something one of them would do. Hence: this! Glad you liked it!
StupidFatHobbit- Glad you like the story! It always seems like Undómiel is a last name, because people say Arwen Undómiel, and since Elladan is her brother, then it seems like it would be his name too. Whatever, it's kinda trivial anyways.
X-EvEnStAr-X- Yay! I love your ideas! The test one with Gimli and Legolas is in Ch. 15, which is almost finished, and will be up soon. (I promise!) Thanks so much!
ElladanandElrohirrock- Hmm, 3 pennames. Well, I'll try to remember them! Sorry about the mix-up. As you can see, the idea was in Ch. 13 instead!
mz-turner- You're back! I was kinda starting to wonder, I mean seriously, you review every chappie… Computers are messed up. I think mine has like a zillion viruses, grrr, evil hackers!
Lady-Eliwen- You liked the chapters and the song! Yay! Thanks for reviewing!
One Feather- Thanks for all the compliments! Gosh, everyone liked the Mary Poppins chapter! Yes! Thanks for reviewing!
Lost-Elf- Yay, it cheered you up! I feel like a good citizen, lol. Well, I hope you had fun with the 8 page Science report, a 2 page Julius Caesar report, and a 1 page Spanish report! I'm just kidding, blah, I hate homework!
SilverFaiElf- You went to India? Or is it that European Disneyland place you were talking about earlier. Whatever, sry. Thanks for reviewing!
CHAPTER 13:
ForeverFaramir- Yeah, Faramir! This version of Éowyn is a little… odd. I don't think the Witch King would've backed down after being… slapped. Ah, well, it's fanfiction! Read on!
Faerlas- Ingenious… hmmm, never heard that one before… thanks! Glad you like it!
LATMC- Thanks! Well, Legolas got down… eventually. He got to miss Saruman's class though, lucky. Ok, here's an update!
InterLinea- (Alright, this is to ALL the reviews!) Looking back on it, I think the same thing, Éowyn does seem kinda girlyish (if that is a word) in the food fight. Had this really happened, she'd probably be joining in. Maybe I'll change it someday… I've given up on Elvish. I know "hannon le!" from the movie; that's about all. I can dream… I wish I was a pro comedian; that would be fun! BTW, that story about the person and the trees is kinda creepy, I think I'll use it next chapter! Thanks!
Amalita- Thank you! Sorry I couldn't just leave Legolas hanging there. But I have another idea to leave him… somewhere. Don't worry, it's coming up! LOL thanks for reviewing!
kingmaker- I guess Thranduil's a nice dictator…lol that makes no sense! Ha ha, the Witch King, that was funny… Thanks for reviewing!
SilverFaiElf- I'm in 7th grade, and we have to dissect the frogs, too! The worst part is that we had a lot of kids who messed up on other experiments, so they couldn't do the frogs, but no teacher was willing to watch them while the rest of us did do the frogs. So now we have to come in to do it in groups during lunch! Gross! "Teacher, there's frog guts in my macaroni!"
Eleniel of the Stars- Thank you so much! I'm glad you think it's one of the better high school stories. I've seen some that are, well, not so good. Not to brag, though. Well, thanks for the compliments!
mz-turner- OK OK, gosh… here's an update!
Countess Jackman- (to all the reviews) Yep I kind of find Arwen annoying in the movie, I mean it's all nice once you see the scenes once but seriously, if you watch as much as I do, it gets boring. #virtually high fives back# Yes, Legolas is evil… lol nice ideas! Thanks!
Norma Jean the Dancing Machine- Nice idea with the Legolas/Goldberry archery deathmatch. Thanks for reviewing!
ElladanandElrohirrock- I know! It's just really hard to get all the chapters written, being so long and all… and I get so many ideas to put in! I think I'll have to do MEH Year 2… Oh, once again thanks for your idea!
Fantasy of Wonder- Yay! You liked it!
26! O MY GOSH THAT TOOK FOREVER! L. C.
