*Author appears and looks at the word "Author"*

Author: Did I just refer to myself as an author? *gasps* Which means I'm a man! *gasps louder*

Author: Okay that was weird…I think I'd better change it before people think I'm a guy or something * gets a pen and crosses out all the word that says "Author" *

*Author…now would be referred to as Authoress, puts on a feathered Mohawk and dances around a dead Boromir*

Author: Arise O Boromir the great! *raises hands to the sky and laughs like the crazy scientist in Frankenstein*

A great lightning flashes forth from the sky and hits Boromir. Boromir arises from the dead and cracks an eye open.

Boromir: ERKKK! What am I doing here? *opens both eyes wide…kinda like this 0_O*

Authoress: You are summoned forth here into my realm to be in my story.

Boromir: I'd rather be dead *closes eyes and pretends to be dead*

Authoress: *tickles Boromir with a feather from mohawk* You have no other option U_U

Boromir finally surrenders and is led into the horrible story the authoress' wicked mind invented.

Boromir: *looks sadly at readers* I wished you never told her that I was supposed to be dead. *sniff sniff*

Authoress: MUAHAHAHAHAHA…………!!!

The Fellowship Examination continues………

                Gandalf placed his pipe down hastily for he was inflicted by a violent attack of coughs. He was still coughing when there was a knock on his door. Within a mere millisecond, Merry and Pippin burst into the room, balancing a cup of tea on two of their fingers.

                "Your tea, sir," Pippin said and skillfully let the cup slide down from the tip of his left finger, across his shoulders, and to the other tip of his right finger. When the cup was safely on Gandalf's table, Pippin bowed while Merry applauded for his friend.

                "That was GREAT!" say Merry enthusiastically, "Can you teach me?"

                "Sure!" Pippin replied, and they both bounded out of Gandalf's room.

                "Thank you, hobbits," Gandalf called after them. He drained the cup and his coughs lessened incredibly. He took a deep breath and looked at Aragorn's paper, reading his answers patiently.

Question 10: What is twenty plus two?

Answer: In case you're wondering, Gandalf, I am not talking about you at all. I was talking about Arwen! My heart's most desired………

                Gandalf gave a sigh of relief. For a moment there, he thought Aragorn was writing him a love letter. He even stopped when he read the answer for question number six to look at the 6-foot-mirror beside him and nodded in agreement that he was the most beautiful thing anyone had ever seen. He was a tinnie-wee bit disappointed though that this was not a love letter to him. However, he was a great wizard of many powers and so would not look too deep into such matter.

                "I have more fan girls than Aragorn has anyway," Gandalf said, to comfort himself. It was then that he heard a faint sound of laughter and it sounded like it was just in front of his doorsteps. In a rage of fury, Gandalf rushed towards the door and threw it open causing two little hobbits to tumble into his room.

                "What were you two doing?" his voice boomed.

                "Errr…we were just leaning against the door when we heard you saying something about your fan girls," Merry replied, still giggling uncontrollably.

                "Are you sure you have more fan girls than Aragorn, sir? I highly doubt it………" Pippin said and Merry nodded his head to support his friend's opinion.

                The volcano in Gandalf was about to erupt but being a respectable wizard as he is, Gandalf spoke in a calm and icy tone, "You two better get out of this room right this instant of elssssseeeee………" He growled and to the little Halflings, Gandalf looked incredibly like a Giant Gollum.

                The two little hobbitses scrambled out of Gandalf's room as fast as their hairy feet could carry them and the wizard slammed the door shut.

                Gandalf grunted angrily and dropped down into his leather chair again. He looked through Aragorn's paper again and was amazed to find that the ranger managed to answer all the questions correctly (in a way). But Gandalf did not give Aragorn 100% because he did not answer the questions directly. Instead, he put a big "X" on it and proceeded to mark Gimli's paper.

//@@_@@// //@@_@@// //@@_@@// //@@_@@// //@@_@@// //@@_@@// //@@_@@//

Authoresses note: Whee!!! Aragorn answered all the questions correctly! Can you figure out how he did it? Hehehe………now that paper's finally done. So REVIEW!!! Remember though, flames would be thrown into the orcs' den. They are pretty hungry nowadays.
