Marie: Hey! Sorry that it took sooo long to update. Rochelle was at camp and she's the one that posts them! Enjoy!
Mitten woke up to find himself being uncomfortably carried on the stooped shoulders of a Dork…a very fat Dork. He looked around and saw his good friend Sad riding on another one beside him.
"Hullo Sad!" he said.
He then noticed that his bobbit friend had his eyes closed and didn't seem to be moving very much. He also had a black eye. Mitten, after much intelligent deduction based on the motionless nature of his comrade along with the contusion on his eye, concluded that the only logical reason for Sad to be acting that way was because he was napping. He decided to leave him alone.
Suddenly the lead Dork motioned for the rest of the…pack…to stop. He sniffed the air, which is rather hard for a Dork since they have major nasal issues, and then snorted.
The Dork by his side pushed his thick glasses up his nose and said, in a whiney voice, "What is it? What do you smell?"
The Dork sniffed again and then made a face. "Ugh, body odor!" He sniffed the air some more and added, "And strawberry bubble bath!"
Mitten brightened upon hearing this. There could only one man whose body odor would carry across the plains like that, only one man who would be so bold as to go without a shower for so long…or deodorant…
"Thonagong!" he whispered happily to himself.
And of course he knew that the strawberry bubble bath had to be none other than Legolordas. Even Mitten knew that.
This turn of events made Mitten hungry (what's new?) so he thought he'd eat that mushroom he'd saved from earlier…except he had not hands available. He decided his teeth and nose would work just fine. He started to try and reach it in the pocket of his vest…except instead of latching on to a mushroom he latched onto the brooch of his Gothlorien cape (it was black with a skull…what do you expect, it is called Gothlorien!). It came off and fell to the ground.
"Ah man! I liked that!" he whined. "Ooh! Are those swallows carrying a coconut?"
The Dork carrying him rolled his eyes and muttered, "Everyone knows that coconuts don't migrate!"

Legolordas came around a corner to find Thonagong resting his head on a nearby rock. He was very irritated since Thonagong had already been ragging on him earlier for complaining about needing more beauty sleep.
Just because he's a mysterious woodsman and future king he thinks he can do whatever he wants! The Bell thought.
So he remedied the situation. He walked up to the man and swiftly kicked him in the stomach.
"YOW!"
Legolordas didn't think he'd heard such an odd noise in all his life. It was like a mixture between a grunt and a howl.
Blini had just come around the corner and he brightened upon hearing the sound. "Hey! Mitten's yodeling again!"
"No, I was just waking Thonagong up from his little nap."
Blini seemed a bit confused by this but only shrugged.
Thonagong stood up slowly, still a little doubled over, his face very red. He tried to say something but it only came out as a squeak. Legolordas watched the whole thing with a very satisfied look on his Bellish features. Finally the woodsman got it out.
"I was listening for the Dorks' footsteps' reverberations in the ground when Legolordas…"
"Quit your whining! I've already looked across the plains and they've quickened their pace, probably because they caught whiff of you!"
Thonagong countered this attack. "They probably smelled your strawberry bubbled bath!"
Legolordas gasped at this insult! How dare he!
"Ooh! You got burned!" Blini enjoyed their quarrel…until he got smacked with some plastic fruit…
They continued on their way, although not without some glares exchanged between the Bell and the Man.
Thonagong stooped to pick something up off the ground. He fingered it, eyes widening.
"Shiny…"
Legolordas came up and looked over his shoulder. "Ew! A Skull! Gross! That's just like the ones on our tacky cloaks that Gladbags gave us." He shuddered.
Blini peeked his head over Thonagong's shoulder and looked too. "I'd have to agree. Never did like skulls…no hair…"
"I think it's a sign!" exclaimed Thonagong.
"No, it's a skull," said Blini slowly, as if the man was retarded (there's been some speculation as to whether that statement is actually all that false…).
"It's creepy, that's what it is." Legolordas turned away.
"No, I think it's a sign left to us by one of the bobbits. One of them tore it off their cloaks, dropped it to the ground, and hoped that one of us would pick it up."
Thonagong's two companions stared at him for a second and then started laughing.
"Like one of them would be smart enough to do that!"
"Face it, laddie, your theory's all cracked up!" Blini smacked him on the back as he said this, he and the Bell laughing their heads off with Strydex not exactly in his happy place.
"Move it!"
The two jumped at the ferocity of this roar and they both scampered ahead, fearful of what he would do. They'd heard rumors of his substituting his sword for a plunger…
Note: Review please! Let us know what you think of the second one so far! Thx!
