While Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimili discuss the quest, Merry and Pippin are trying to escape from the security guards.

"Let us go!" Merry demanded before trying to kick the shins of his captor. "We're innocent!"

"Yes!" Pippin agreed, nodding his head violently. "We didn't do anything!"

The security guard holding Merry rolled his eyes. "Don't you kids know that it's against the law to go in without paying?"

Merry and Pippin stopped struggling and exchanged confused looks. "He's talking nonsense Pip." Merry whispered, casting a sideways glance at the security guard.

"Hold on. Maybe I can get through to him." Pippin turned back to the security guard and began to speak loudly and clearly. "We come in pease. There is no need to get violent."

The security guard holding Pippin shoved him foreward while laughing. "Yeah, tell that to the judge."

Pippin looked over at Merry for an explanation. "The judge must be their leader Pip." Merry explained.

Pippin gave a nod of understanding. "Let's hope he's smarter than them."

The guards bring Merry and Pippin into the space of the cinema containing the snack counters. They fail to notice Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimili, who are crouching behind a counter.

Aragorn turned to his companions. "All right. Here's the plan." He whispered. "On the count of three, we'll go out and bring them down. I'll go for the head, Legolas can go for the midriff, and Gimili can go for the knees."

Gimili looked annoyed. "Why do I always have to go for the knees?"

Aragorn tapped the side of his nose. "Location location location." He turned and crouched, ready to break into a dead run toward their quarry. Legolas and Gimili tensed, waiting for his command. "On the count of three...one...two...three!"

Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimili raced out from behind the counter and slammed into the guards, bringing them to the floor. Merry and Pippin quickly escaped.

"The door!" Aragorn shouted as he got back to his feet, leaving the stun security guards beneath him. "The door! Quickly!"

The hobbits, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimili ran out of the door and into the bright sunshine.

Legolas looked behind them, then questioned the hobbits. "Where is Boromir?"

Merry shrugged. "We don't know what happened to him."

"Yeah. One guard pulled out a metal stick, shouted 'Don't move or I'll shoot,' and Boromir moved so he shot, and there was a loud bang, and then Boromir fell over and didn't move!" Pippin exclaimed, looking worried for the Gondorian.

Aragorn patted him on the shoulder. "Well, I'm sure he's all right. Nothing can kill that guy. Believe me, I've tried."

Pippin stared blankly at Aragorn.

While that whole scenario was going on, Frodo and Sam were walking around the cinema's many hallways. They finally walked into another theatre where Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was playing. They sat down and watched some of the movie. Fascinated, they witness Remus's transformation into a werewolf.

"Looks a lot like Gollum." Frodo commented. "Must be a distant relative."

Sam snatched a handful of popcorn from a little kid sitting next to him. "I think it is Gollum in disguise."

Frodo cocked his head, then sighed. "You may be right Sam. Let us not stay here any longer."

Frodo and Sam wandered out of the theatre and into the sunshine where the rest of the fellowship was standing.

"There you guys are." Aragorn grumbled as the hobbits happily reunited. "Have you seen Gandalf?"

Sam shook his head. "No. Where could he have gotten to?"

Aragorn looked up and down the street in search of the white-bearded wonder. "We'll probably find him at an inn, drinking wive or something."

Legolas looked up disdainfully at the ever darkening sky. "It's starting to rain. Could we perhaps find another place to go?"

"What about that building over there?" Gimili asked, pointing to a large establishment across the street.

The rest of the fellowship agreed to follow Gimiili's plan and they walk into the mall.

O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O

Well there you have it. What horrors will they discover in the mall? Will the fellowship break even more, or will they have what it takes to stick together? Find out when I update next, which will be Valor knows when...my life seems to be very unpredictable as of late...

and to Killing Perfectionist, luthien thranduilion, and Manwathiel, all three of you get mall certificates and movie tickets, along with lots of hugs and candy for reviewing!

And the rest of you can review too if you want, because I don't bite...hard...

Thankies!
