LOTR story - Chapter Two

(A/N: Hey! Thanks so much for the reviews! Because of your support, I have decided to release the second chapter sooner than planned. This one will not be as boring as the last one, I hope. It will hopefully have more humor in it too. If you haven't already guessed it, Jen, Shine, and Rebal are based off of me and my two best friends in the whole world. Again, thanks so much for the reviews and support! Read and review! - Jen)

Disclaimer: No, I do not own LOTR or its characters. I do, however, own this fanfic, my characters, and my ideas.

Chapter Two

'Omg! Where am I?', was Shine's first thought as she woke up. She looked around and found herself lying on the ground in a wooded area. She soon spotted Rebal lying a few feet away from her, asleep. Jen-Jen, however, was no where to be found. She stood up and walked over to Rebal. "Rebal...", Shine started poking her. "Rebal, wake up!" She tried to wake Rebal up a few more times, but Rebal didn't even stir. "Fine, sleep...OH LOOK! THERE GOES A SQUIRREL!", Shine yelled.

"COUSIN?" Screamed Rebal, now fully awake. "Wait, where's Jen? And where are we?", said Rebal, now fully aware of their surroundings.

Shine's reply was simple, "I don't know."

"To which question? And where's the squirrel..."

"Both."

"Actually, I am up here.", said something out of nowhere.

"Jen is that you?", asked Shine.

"No, I'm the ghost of Christmas past, of course it's me.", came the sarcastic remark.

"Where are you?", asked Rebal.

"Oh, I don't know. Where is my voice coming from?", was the reply.

Shine guessed, "Uhhhh, above us."

"Good, now look up." Shine and Rebal looked up and there was Jen, stuck in the tree. They looked at her for a moment before bursting into laughter.

Jen just wiggled until she was able to get loose, jumped down from the tree and replied, "Well, that wasn't so bad." Shine just stopped laughing and Rebal began to mumble incoherently about her pants.

(A/N: Yes, I know Rebal seems weird, but she is based on one of my friends whose nickname is Rebal and this is her personality.)

Shine turned around and there was an arrow right in front of her face. They were suddenly surrounded by several people with arrows pointed straight at them.

Jen couldn't think of much to say, "Well, this is something you don't see everyday. Elves pointing arrows at people doesn't happen very often. I feel lucky."

'Ooohhhhhh, pointy ears.', was Shine's first thought.

One of them spoke up, "You are going to have to come with us. We shall take you to Lord Elrond in Rivendell." The elves led them through the forest and always kept an eye on Shine, Rebal, and Jen. The three girls could only think one thought, 'I must be dreaming... or maybe the t.v. killed us.'

They walked for about an hour through the woods and at last saw Rivendell coming into view. "Wow, it looks even better in person than through the t.v.", said Jen. The elves just stared at her weirdly, but said nothing. They finally came to Rivendell. All the elves they passed by stared at them weirdly.

Shine, Jen, and Rebal assumed it was because they were dressed in modern pajamas. Jen was wearing a grey shirt with an upside-down cat that says "I don't do mornings" with a black tanktop under it and Big Dog shorts that say "Attitude is everything", Shine was wearing an oversize ASU T-shirt with pj pants that say "sushi" and have dead fish all over them, and Rebal was wearing a long, silky, blue toga with white polka dots on it and black AR pants. So, you can imagine the looks they were getting.

They were led to a library like area filled with books. Lord Elrond sat there in a chair, reading. He looked up when they came in.

One of the elves spoke, "Lord Elrond, we found these three girls in the woods. How they got there or where they are from, we do not know. They are certainly dressed unusually. We will leave you to decide their fate."

Jen then spoke up, "So, you mean I'm not dreaming?" The elves looked at her like she was this crazy, insane woman weilding a Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment. Jen was too busy thinking to care that everyone was looking at her. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. She fainted.

"Well, at least we won't have to deal with her sarcasm for a while." Commented Rebal.

Elrond spoke up, "I have known for a long while that you would show up. You are welcome to stay here. There are three bedrooms ready for you. My daughter, Arwen, will take you to them."

The door opened and Arwen walked into the room. "Hello, I am Arwen. Follow me please.", she said and slowly walked out the door.

Jen was shaken awake by Rebal who said, "Come on Jen, time to go." Jen sat up, rubbing her eyes and said, "You'll never guess the crazy dream I just had. I dreamt that we were in..." She opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings.

"Rivendell?" Rebal finished for her. Jen almost fainted again except for the fact that Rebal was dragging her to her feet.

The girls made a move to follow Arwen, but Elrond spoke up, "One more thing, do not wander very often. If you do, do not wander far, there are things you may find that you should not. Just a word of caution." This only made the girls want to wander more and it also made them curious about what they could find that they should not, but they said nothing and just nodded their head, and they followed Arwen out the door.

They were led through the hall and outside, past a large area with a lot of chairs and a podium. They already knew what this was for but Shine couldn't help asking, "Arwen, what is that area for?"

Arwen, who had been quiet, was surprised at their question. "That area is for meetings. There shall be a council in a few days to decide the fate of the Ring. My father may invite you to the council, but that has yet to be decided.", she answered.

Shine was secretly doing a happy dance inside at the thought of meeting Legolas, who is the HOT elf as she likes to call him. 'w00t! I get to meet Leggy-kun!', Shine thought. Rebal wasn't listening to the conversation much, she was secretly plotting how she would take over Middle Earth.

(A/N: Another trait of Rebal.)

Rebal was thinking, 'How should I take over? You know, this place reminds me of that card game, Munchkin. I wonder if they have items like those here?' While Rebal was chuckling to herself thinking about taking over Middle Earth, weilding her Big, Black Boots of Butt-Kicking, with the help of the most evil, horrid, modern day villan ever: the Insurance Salesman, somewhere out of Rebal's nuclear war fantasy, Shine was still thinking about meeting Legolas.

Arwen started laughing to herself. Jen, being her nosy self, had to ask, "What is so funny?" Then, Rebal and Shine snapped back to reality and listened to why she was laughing.

Arwen's reply was simple, "You should have more caution of what you think about, elves have the power to hear what other people are thinking."

"Oh, that's awesome. I wish I could do that.", Jen replied. Shine was blushing and Rebal was mumbling incoherently about how her plan, that reeks of unspeakably awful indescribable horror, is ruined. Jen laughed at them, "You guys are so pathetic. At least, I don't think my thoughts outloud. Wait, did that even make sense? Oh no, brain malfunction!"

Shine and Rebal laughed at her. "And you call us pathetic?", Rebal said while trying to hold back the laughter that threatened to bubble up in her throat again. Finally, Arwen led them to a door and they walked inside. The girls gasped at the sight of the beautiful room. It had sunlight pouring into it from all sides of the room and even from the ceiling, the bed was along the back wall and the sheets were so shiny and pure white that you were afraid to touch them thinking that they would fall apart. There was a vanity with a large mirror on the left side of the room, a large doorway to the left of the bed that led to an enormous balcony, and another door to the right of the bed that leads to the bathroom. Chairs were in the room in various places.

(A/N: Imagine the bathroom for yourself, because I am too lazy to come up with one)

After a few minutes of staring Arwen said, "This is your room Rebal. Shine's room is to the left of this one and Jen's is to the left of Shine's. Their rooms look exactly like this one except the furniture and main colors of Shine's room are light purple and Jen's furniture and main colors are blue. In your rooms you will find that baths are ready for you and you have dresses laying out for you to put on since I seriously doubt you all will want to wear your current clothes." The girls looked down at their attire and blushed excpet for Rebal, she just smirked.

"Thanks Arwen, we will find and take care of everything. Maybe we can hang out later and talk or something. You could show us around and tell us what you do here for fun.", Shine said. Arwen smiled and said, "That would be nice. I will be reading a book in the council area, so just come and get me when you are finished."

Arwen left the room. The girls just stared at each other. Finally, Jen spoke up, "So, I guess we aren't dreaming." "I guess not. You are kinda happy that we aren't since you are going to get to meet your favorite character, Jen.", Shine replied. Rebal just screamed, "WHO CARES! I wanna have fun!" Shine and Jen just shruged and went off to find their rooms.

(A/N: If you do not know what Munchkin is, it is a really fun card game. It has elves, monsters, dwarfs, halflings, weird weapons (Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment and Boots of Butt-Kicking), and weird villans and monsters (Insurance Salesman), and stuff like that in it. So, I thought I should mention it somewhere since I love the game, and it reminds me of Lord of the Rings whenever I see it. I'm sorry to all the people it confuses.)
