As the sun rises over the beautiful city of Rivendale as all the Hobbits, except for Velma; get out of their beds.

Daphne peeks her head into Velma's room and says, "Hey, Velma, today's the big day! Get up!" Velma just turns over and gets into a more comfortable position.

Daphne walks over to Velma's and pulls down the covers to reveal that Velma in her clothes. "Velma, why did you sleep in your clothes?" Daphne asks. "Well, I thought that if I was already dressed I could sleep longer." Velma answers.

"Well, it sure worked, we are a hour late, now get up!" Daphne urges "Okay! Okay!" Velma complains. Velma gets up and walks away with Daphne. "Here put this on." Daphne calls tossing a green bundle to her friend, "Legolas gave us these cloaks to wear." In a few moments they meet up with everyone except for Shaggy. "Where are Shaggy and Scooby-Doo?" Gandalf asks. "They're packing food." Daphne answers. "But they have been packing food since two o'clock in the morning!" Legolas comments. "Strange isn't it?" Daphne shrugs.

"Well, I better drag them out of there before they pack up the entire kitchen." Fred laughs. "You would have to be a miracle worker to do that." Daphne jokes. "I'll try my best!" Fred says as he goes into the kitchen. About twenty minutes later Fred drags out Shaggy and Scooby. "Hey, like let go!" Shaggy complains. "Reah!" Scooby agrees. "Look, we have to go." Fred says sternly.

"But—"

"Come on!" Fred interrupts Shaggy.

"We have to get going!" Fred persists. Scooby and Shaggy start whimpering and crying like crazy. "Oh, don't be such scardy cats." Daphne complains. Scooby and Shaggy start acting like cats. "Stop, being such chickens." Velma says, very annoyed. Scooby and Shaggy start acting like chickens. "Oh, stop being such idiots!" says Daphne who is fed up. Just then Fred calls out to Shaggy, "You don't have to act for that one, you just have to be your natural self." Shaggy crosses his arms in anger. "Just kidding!" Fred says nicely. Shaggy smiles. "Now, let's get going." Gandalf orders. "Okay!" Daphne says happily.

They head out the door of the beautiful palace. The dangerous journey begins. The shadow of fear falls over them as they discover that there are more faceless freaks.

"Face less freaks, Orks, and all that other creepy stuff, Oh Crap. Face less freaks, Orks, and all that other creepy stuff, Oh Crap." Shaggy chants.

"Race ress reaks, rorks, rand rall rat rother reepy ruff, Roh Rap." Scooby parrots.

"Jeepers, this is creepy, but it's still kind of Groovy." Daphne says as she looks around.

"Jinkies, this place is so interesting." Velma exclaims.

"Ewww!" Daphne screams. "What? What's the matter?" Fred asks. "Look what I stepped in." Daphne says in disgust as she points to her foot. Velma examines the substance on the bottom of Daphne's foot and then says, "It looks like blood.... But it is kind of gooey." "Gross, I stepped into gooey blood, how do I get myself into these thing?" Daphne murmurs to her self. "It's Ork blood." Legolas states. "Yuck! Don't tell me I stepped in Ork blood?" Daphne asks. "I'm afraid so." Legolas answers. "Oh, this is so embarrassing." Daphne says. "Let's get moving." Aragorn suggest. "Good idea." Legolas agrees.

They leave the puddle of gooey Ork blood and head northwest.

"Like, can we stop to eat?" Shaggy asks.

"Not yet." Gandalf

A few moments later, Shaggy asks again, "Like, can we eat now?"

"No."

About two minutes later Shaggy asks the same question and then the same question five minutes later.

"Like—" before Shaggy could finish his sentence Gandalf says in a stern voice "The answer in NO!"

"Okay." Shaggy says in a meek voice. About half an hour later Shaggy says, "Like, Gandalf?" "For the last time, we can't stop to eat yet." Gandalf states. "Okay, but I, like, wanted to ask you where the closest bathroom is." Gandalf smiles and says, "We don't have bathrooms here in Middle Earth." "Hmm, what's a Bathroom?" Pippin asks. "It's a place where you—Oh, forget it." Fred says. "Here you would go to a out house." Aragorn explains. "Okay...so, like, where's the closest outhouse?" Shaggy asks again. "There wouldn't be one until the next town." Legolas replies. "How far is that?" Shaggy inquires. "I'd say about seventy miles." Aragorn answers. Shaggy gulps really hard. "You could always go in the bushes." Freddie chuckles. "Uh, that's okay." Shaggy quivers, "I can wait."

Once it gets dark Gandalf suggest that they rest until morning. "I will stand guard for a while then Legolas will take over." "Excuse me Gandalf but can I stand guard for a while?" Fred asks, who was trying to impress Daphne. "Well, I guess you can go after Legolas." Gandalf answers. "No! Uh... I mean, can't I replace Legolas?" Fred asks. "Is that okay with you Legolas?" Gandalf inquires. "Sure, let the little guy get his chance." Legolas says. "Okay, I guess that would be fine." Gandalf says.

They settle down by a bunch of trees and rocks that made a little shelter. "I have a blanket in my knapsack." Daphne states. "Good, it can get quite cold here at night." Aragorn remarks. Daphne pulls out the blanket and since it is not cold yet they sit on it.

"I suggest that we make a small fire for a while." Gimli says. "Okay, Scooby, Shaggy go get some fire wood." Velma orders. "Like, no way, man! This place is full of Orks and faceless freak!" Shaggy yells. "Reah!" Scooby agrees. "Would you it for a Scooby snack?" Velma asks. "Ruh-uh!" Scooby answers. "How 'bout two Scooby snacks?" Velma inquires. Scooby and shaggy get a little tempted but the decline, "Like, no way!"

"How about the Middle Earth Scooby snacks?" Velma says waving a box that says 'Middle Earth Scooby Snacks' in front of their faces.

"Huh?" Shaggy asks.

"They're the best this side of Rivendale!" Daphne adds.

"Okay!" Shaggy agrees happily. Velma throws the each one Scooby snack and the two head off into the forest.

"Like, I think we almost have enough wood." Shaggy says as he picks up a few little sticks.

"Reah, reah!" Scooby agrees.

"Like, you look over there for some logs." Shaggy says as he points to some bushes.

"Rokay." Scooby goes over to the bushes, when all of a sudden when Shaggy's back was turned a pair of ugly looking hands grab Scooby from behind. "Relp!!" Scooby screams, but before Shaggy could find out what happened Scooby was out of sight.

"Scooby!" Shaggy calls. "Scooby-Doo, where are you?"

Shaggy runs back to came yelling for help. Once he reaches camp, "Scooby's missing! Scooby's missing!" "What?" the rest of the gang asks in unison. "What's he missing?" Pippin asks. "His body." Shaggy answers, but he didn't know what he was saying because he was too worried.

"That ought to be a interesting sight." Pippin comment.

"No, I mean, like, he is gone, vanished into thin air!" Shaggy says.

"Are you sure he's not just playing a trick on you?" Daphne asks.

"If he was playing a trick on me would he yell 'Relp'?" Shaggy asks.

"I guess not." Velma says.

Just then Gandalf comes down from where he was keeping watch and says that he saw some Orks carrying something in a bag. "It must be Scooby they have in the bag!" Shaggy exclaims. "Like, Gandalf, was the bag yelling 'Relp'?" "I'm not sure but I did hear something like that." Gandalf states. "We have to go look for him!" Shaggy insists. "I guess we have to split up." Gandalf says. "I'll go with Legolas!" Daphne quickly buds in. "Daphne can I speak with you in private?" Asks Freddie, who looks very mad. "Sure." Daphne says calmly. Fred leads Daphne behind a large tree. "Daphne, I don't like you flirting around with that Legolas guy." Fred says. "You know Freddie, you look so cute when you are mad." Daphne says with a smile. Fred blushes slightly then says, "Daphne, I'm serious."

"Are, you jealous?" Daphne asks.

"Well, I...uh....um....uh," Fred stutters, "uh...the others are waiting for us." Daphne smiles and goes back to the others.

"We've decided that we should go save Scooby tomorrow, if not, we would be tired and most likely get captured our selves." Gandalf announces as Fred and Daphne arrive back to camp.

"We will get up early and rescue him." Aragorn states. "I'm sure they won't hurt him."

"If they do I'll walk right up to they a punch them in the eye!" Shaggy says.

"Shaggy, Ork are very dangerous." Velma says.

"Okay, I'll just kick them in the butt." Shaggy replies. Velma smiles then says, "Let's go to bed."

They all go to bed except for Gandalf who was being lookout. At least seven hours later Gandalf wakes up Fred so that he could start guard duty. Fred yawns and gets up. He goes over to the place where Gandalf was sitting.

Before Gandalf goes to bed he puts his hand of Fred's shoulder and says, "Be careful the night is full of evil. Do not fall asleep for you will put all of us in danger."

After a few hours, Freddie slumps over in his seat with his head in his hands. Trying to keep awake, he stares out into the brush and using his imagination, he pictures the shadows as different things. However, the stillness of the night takes its toll on him. Fred listens to the sounds of the night creatures as they sing him off to sleep.
