The hobbits continue down the road still in march formation but Gandalf has stopped shouting out left, left, left right left. They are walking through a forest on a well paved road.

"Where are we going?" asked Frodo.

"To Rivendell," answered Gandalf shortly.

"But this isn't the way to Rivendell! I studied maps of the Shire and I saw a road leading west heading straight for Rivendell. I estimated that it would only take an hour or two to walk there and it's been several hours. Plus, we're not going west. As you can see by the sun which sets in the west, we are traveling north. We are traveling approximately 91.24 degrees from the proper path going west to be exact," said Frodo loftily.

"Well… we're taking the long way," said a rather annoyed and nervous Gandalf.

"The long way? What's wrong with the short way?" asked Frodo.

"I'm sure Gandalf has very good, educated reasons why we are going the long way," said Pippin faithfully defending Gandalf. Actually, Pippin was just hoping Gandalf wouldn't blast him or even worse... TURN HIM INTO A GIRL! from what happened last time...

"I do? I mean yes, yes I do and I can't tell you hobbits because I am so much wiser and all knowingstuttered Gandalf.

"That tree looks familiar. See? It's all twisted in the shape that reminds me of Gandalf's hat. I think we've passed it before. Actually I'm sure we've passed it before. We're going in circles!" exclaimed Sam.

"That ugly tree does not look like my beautiful hat!" said a very disgruntled Gandalf.

"You're right Sam. It does look like Gandalf's hat," exclaimed Pippin staring at the tree.

"Well… I… It…" spluttered Gandalf indignantly. "My...Tree...Ughh!"
