The
strangely powerful wizard dragged a disgruntled Dodo through the
undergrowth. But alas Dodo's protests fell on uncaring pointy ears.
Seemingly oblivious of the young hobbits tantrum Grandalf turned to
his companions and spoke in a misty voice, "sod off"
"What?" asked Walker.
"You heard me" the
wizard said in a less misty and now distinctly annoyed voice, If your
not a hairy footed little freak, bugger off and find something else
to do and Gimi you can sod off too."
Gimi and blondelas
made eye contact. Gimi licked his lips, Blondelas seemed entranced.
"I'll just go and get some ummm.." Gimi thought
desperately,"...fire wood" he finished, and with that Gimi
smirked at Blondelas and strode deeper into the forest.
Blondelas
watched Gimi's retreating form, "I'll help" he squeaked
before rushing after the dwarf. Walker pouted. "Even the bloody
dwarfs getting some" he mumbled, not quite under his
breath.
"Getting some what?" Merri inquired. Pam put his
hand over his mouth to stifle his laughter. Pipi shook his head at
his silly friend. "Fire wood Merri, you heard him say"
Faint giggling sounded from deep within the forest.
"But
its noon, why do we need a fire?" Merri asked. Grandalf looked
awkward at the now frightful sounds emanating from the once peaceful
forest.
Tom cleared his throat. "Soooooo how are we
supposed to deal with my lady, cause if I go back without flowers or
something she'll have me guts for garters a da doo da dilly hey."
Every one in the fellowship present stared at him, and the disturbing
noises temporarily stopped. The silence was deafening, Tom blushed.
"Sorry" he said meekly "nervous habit". "Anyway"
Grandalf said, "hear is my master plan, you will win her back
with song". "But I sing all the time" Tom said.
"Ahhh,
but this time you will be accompanied, by...dadadada..."
Grandalf reached behind his back and produced four of the campest
outfits that have or ever will exist. "...hobbit back up
dancers!"
Protests were immediately heard from Merri and
Dodo, Pam was cooing over the outfits and Pipi was to busy trying to
work out where the outfits had come from. He hasn't got pockets in
the back of his robes thought the puzzled hobbit.
Walker burst out
laughing. "Your on your own" he said before
fleeing.
Grandalf gave the hobbits a look of pure venom." You
WILL wear these outfits", he intoned "or you will face my
wrath!"
With that he began to cackle manically and everyone
took a step back at once with the exception of Pipi who was now
walking round Grandalf, still to work out where the outfits had come
from.
Once at Tom's house Tom looked pale. "Oh darling"
he called weakly.
A woman appeared in the doorway, she was in her late twentys and was very pretty, she was also extremely pissed off. She looked Tom over and spotted the camply dressed hobbits and worse his lack of flowers. Eyes ablaze like the fires of hell she turned on him a look which nailed tom to the spot, then spoke in a voice so cold it would freeze nitrogen. "Well?" she asked. Her foot tapped slowly on the floor making every man with the exception of Pam flinch with each impact. Tom gulped "Ummm, are you ok?" he asked. Pam shook his head at Tom's stupidity and the aura of pure fury emanating from the woman increased three fold.
Dodo took in the situation and prepared to flee, but Grandalf had had the foresight to grab his arm to prevent the hobbits escape. Again Pam was more than a little pissed off and Dodo was wondering why people seemed to wish him a fiery death.
The
woman took a breath, every male there new what was coming, there was
only one reply to Tom's question.
"Im fine" she replied
at last, every syllable dripping with venom. Tom paled visibly.
"Well
a dilly dilly do my lady ummm I, ummm I brought these guys to help
with my anniversary present a do do dilly".
Her icy demeanor
totally melted and she smiled warmly, before running and flinging
herself at her husband.
"Oh sweetie" she exclaimed, "you
remembered!"
Tom was looking even more panicked now, he new
that this would not go down well.
Tom stepped back, and signaled
the hobbits to assume their positions. Grumbling they did so.
Tom
launched into his rendition of Bryan Adams, everything I do. The
hobbits danced along and provided backing vocals, Pam out danced them
all, pissing off the other hobbits. Half way through the song
Grandalf pulled out an electric guitar and began to get rather
carried away.
At the end of the song, Toms wife was not impressed.
"Is that all you got?" she asked, the iciness had returned
three fold.
Tom was now terrified, he looked round at the guys for
help.
"Owwww" Pam cried excitedly, he started looking
thought his bag and the smiled. He turned directly to Tom's wife.
"Make up and highlights then he pulled out a DVD, and a romantic
comedy". Pam exclaimed excitedly. "Yay, there are no girls
to talk to round here" she squealed and grabbed hold of Pam and
rushed inside.
Tom and the others looked fearfully at the
house. Dodo spoke first, "no way in hell am I going in there!"
The guys all shuddered at the thought of interrupting the girls night
in. So they spent the night in a tree instead, the tree did try to
eat the hobbits, but Tom's awful singing killed it and all was
well.
Grandalf spent most of the night making notes, and the
hobbits found some ghosts and lost in a game of poker, leaving them
naked and confused. Again Tom's singing saved the day and they gave
back the hobbits stuff to shut him up, he also stole a broach to try
to appease his wife.
In the morning they went and fetched Pam and
then left Tom to go back and fetch their companions.
On the way
back to where they had left there friends they noticed there was now
a 6th member to their party who was following Grandalf, carrying his
bag, as well as a cup of tea.
Dodo looked at the teenage boy and
his messy black hair. "Grandalf?', Dodo asked carefully.
"What?
the wizard replied.
"What the fuck is with the bloody
kid!"
Grandalf took the tea from the skinny boy, "work
experience." he replied. Every one now looked at the boy whose
green eyes looked nervous. "My name's Harry, I'm gonna be a
wizard who fights evil" the boy mumbled.
The group was
silent.
They finally found their companions sitting in a
circle, Walker was sharpening his sword and Blondelas and Gimi were
arguing, again.
"Now we are together again, we can continue
our journey!" Grandalf said. The others grumbled, but stood up
ready to continue their peril filled perilous journey fraught with
dangers and peril and now, with the addition of work experience boy
to the fellowship, who made really bad tea.
