Chapter 11 - One Way, Or Another

Soon, everyone was at the gate, and they departed. Julliet and Gimli had an argument on which way they were supposed to go.

"WE SHOULD GO THROUGH THE MINES OF MORIA!" Gimli demanded.

"NO!" Julliet replied. "I don't wanna get dirty! Plus, I just had a manicure in Lothlorien before we came. You want me to get DIRT in my nails?"

"She does have a point..." Nicole said. "Plus, it will take us three whole days to get through the mines! Why don't we go around the mountains?"

"It's too much work!" Gandalf complained.

"I dunno... I think I agree with Julliet and Nicole." Merry said.

"Oh me too!" Gandalf suddenly said, changing his mind. Merry looked at Pippin grossed out.

"Well, why don't we split up?" Daniel recommended. "Whoever wants to go through the mines go with Gimli, whoever doesn't, go with Nicole and Julliet." They all stood there for a second. Daniel decided to go with Julliet and Nicole, so he stood by her. Jeremy decided to go with them too. Boromir was behind Gimli all the way, so he went by Gimli.

"Gimli smells." Anna said, then she decided to go and stand with Daniel and the others.

"I think I will go too." Feliesha decided. She went and stood by the rest. Gimli snorted. Legolas said,

"Wherever my Julliet goes, I will go!" He said walking to her. Nicole got an evil look in her eye.

"Nicole I just want to let you know, that nothing can come between me and Legolas!" Julliet said.

"Ok! I won't cause trouble in paradise." Nicole said sarcastically.

"I'll go with you guys too I guess..." Aragorn said. He wanted to know why Feliesha hated him so much.

"I will go! I wanna be with elves!" Iekika said.

"We're going too!" Matt and Brandon said. "This will be a great chance to rob you- I mean to go exploring!" Daniel looked at them suspiciously.

"I guess I will go too." Jessica said, rolling her eyes. "I don't wanna be with a bunch of guys!" So there they were. Daniel led Jeremy, Nicole, Julliet, Legolas, Iekika, Feliesha, Aragorn, Matt, Brandon, and Jessica to the winter pass. Gimli snorted as he saw them leave.

"You are a bunch of inconsiderate fools!" Gimli yelled at them. "I hope you freeze to death!" They just ignored him. Once they were far enough away, Julliet pointed out something.

"Isn't there an ancient demon in the mines of Moria?" She asked.

"Yeah." Feliesha answered. "Its called a Balrogh. It is a fire demon."

"I hope the others are okay." Daniel said.

"Well I couldn't care less about Gimli!" Jeremy said. "He looks funny."

"Almost all Dwarves look funny." Anna said. Matt and Brandon looked at her.

"Hey!" They both yelled. Anna shrugged.

"Haha. The truth hurts!" Nicole said. "Now you better not try to rob us again!" Brandon gave Jeremy the evil eye.

"What do you mean?" Matt asked. Nicole rolled her eyes.

"Jeremy told us your little plan!" She said.

"He did!" Brandon said. Jeremy hid behind Aragorn.

"I didn't mean to!" Jeremy said.

"Well too bad. Our surprise is ruined." Matt said.

"What do you mean?" Feliesha asked.

"Well you should know if Jeremy told you our plan." Brandon said. "We were going to give you a huge bag of lembas from Lothlorien." Everyone's mouth started getting watery. Lembas from Lothlorien were the best.

"Jeremy never told us about Lembas!" Daniel said.

"Well what did he say?" Matt asked.

"He said that you guys were gonna rob us." Jessica said.

"How popostrus!" Brandon said. "It must be his schizophrenia." Daniel smacked his head.

"But it wasn't!" Jeremy pleaded.

"Just don't say anything, Jeremy!" Nicole said. "Now let's just continue to the pass." Aragorn and Anna led the way. Behind him was Matt and Brandon, then there was Legolas, and Nicole and Julliet, Iekika and Jessica were getting acquainted, while Daniel and Jeremy were stuck in the back.

"Daniel, do you believe me?" Jeremy asked. Daniel didn't know. Jeremy was his best friend, but that schizophrenia can fool someone's mind. But if Jeremy kept feeling discouraged than the schizophrenia would get worse.

"Uh...yeah..." Daniel lied. So they continued through the Misty Mountains to get to the pass.
