by New Dragon Rider

Quick A/N: Hey! If I don't have the update by the end of today, the next chapter will be up tomorrow, promise. In the meantime…let's answer the reviews!

Sawyersloyer: I'll try to hurry! Check back tomorrow at the latest!

UnnamedElement: Thanks for the tip about Faromir/Faramir. As you will doubtless soon realize, I CANNOT spell to save my life. So, I appreciate it, and all the rest who brought it up. I'll admit, it wasn't AU before, but I always thought it kinda sucked that Frodo save the whole world then ended up leaving. So, I'm giving him another chance here! I also just never liked Merry and Pippen, but you'll see that here I guess! Thanks for your thoughts though!

Just Me: Aww! Thanks! I'll try to update, I can only get on about once a week, this week being an exception for twice…so expect that time frame.

MPB21: Ok, again, this is AU. I never had the patience for the little details, so, nothing will really be related to that. I'm sorry if you find it distracting. And another thing I always…disliked…about the books were the hobbit names. I think names are REALLY important, and that lame names are…well…lame. Like a lot of Hobbit names. Goldilocks? Are you kidding me? NO. Goldilocks is a story book character, and nothing more. J.R.R. was a great writer, but most of his Hobbit names suck! I will not write those names in and have come up with my own, in my mind, not lame names. If it bugs you that much, just do what I do with my favorite stories that have some huge, in my mind, flaw. Copy them to word, then edit it to your heart's content and keep it to yourself! And why WOULDN'T Aragorn take his friends with him on a trip to see the rest of the Fellowship? That's really lame to let something as stupid as political rank get in the way of friendship.

Alia G.L: Thanks! Check back!

Breon Briarwood: Ah! My first reviewer! You're the first nicest person to ever review! I appreciate your suggestion, but since I hate the names, and the rest of the story is really whack, why should the names be the same? Thanks for the comments though! I hope you keep reading and enjoying!

All: Well, that's it for now. Check back tomorrow! Bye!
