Hola! People, I love you so much! But first, I'll do the reviews I've been neglecting:
Lorelome--Okay, I'll sue with you. Might as well, 'cause that stuff gets freakin' annoying...Oh, and thank you so much! I love it when people like my stories!
Hypermuggle--Sam, you're so weird. I started reading your story. I like it! I had an idea about what your main character could be in the end, but I'll give it to you at school. : )
E.Tphonehome--Oh...I get your name now. : ) Nice. I'm curious how people decide on your names...of course, I'm still trying to figure out how we got our name...Nickel! Oh, and are you, like, hyper on cheese or something? Or did you just need something to put in a review? ; )
Leia--Thanks! Glad mine was #1. Now it'll be #1 again 'cause I'm updating! Whoo hoo! Btw, I haven't checked yours. How's Power of a Purse coming along?
JustMe--I'm happy about that too. : 0 Can't wait to try and do it again, but I don't get to until later...otherwise I'd have to put this story's category under romance. ; )
Okay, Hypermuggle and E.Tphonehome (I love your name!), you guys get cookies! Yay! (hands out cookie)
I'm so happy I'm getting reviews and I hope you guys are enjoying the story! Here's another chappie! Btw, I normally don't put a line underneath the reviews, but there were so many even I couldn't find where the title started. Uh, that was random...uh...enjoy! Voila!
Dislcamier--(Sigh) I hate these things. Nope, still don't own it.
Bob
Mandy's PoV
We stood, the three special ones, grinning like the idiots we were and waving. Nicole was faking the look, but Kelsey and I were not. (I mean the grinning, not the idiotness, we were all idiots.) We were still shivering with cold when the Fellowship arrived, so Nicole stole everyone's cloaks, even Legolas', and distributing them to Kelsey and me. I worried, though. What if Legolas was cold, or the Hobbits? I mean, not everyone is like Nickel. Legolas, however, ignored my protests. "Keep it," he insisted. "You need it." The others weren't so nice.
Kelsey's PoV
As soon as the Fellowship had arrived, Nicole dove for my bag and began putting some sort of supper together. I, however, dove for Aragorn.
"Sit! Sit!" I ordered. "Prop your feet up. Get comfy!"
"Welcome to the last homely camp!" Allie called. "Take a nap, if you want. Nicole's making . . . What are you making, Nicole?"
"I'm trying to find the crock pot," Nicole said, "for tomorrow's breakfast."
"What about dinner?" I asked.
"Make yourself a sandwich." Nicole tossed me some bread. "Breakfast happens to be the most important meal of the day, so I'm boiling eggs."
"I don't like boiled eggs!" complained Mandy. The Hobbits looked up hopefully.
"Neither do I, but we'll just have to suffer the cold hard time of it!" Nicole countered in an overly dramatic British accent. Scott threw a rock at her, successfully knocking her out. For once, something he did was useful.
"So, who's gonna boil the eggs?" Allie inquired.
Mandy's PoV
Sam eventually got around to boiling the eggs, even though I attempted to stop him. I hate boiled eggs. Kelsey says I'm picky. I am not picky. I just have refined taste. I don't eat whatever is thrown in front of me. The Hobbits all liked the few eggs they were allotted for supper, which they cut up and put on toast.
Then, Nicole woke up. She instantly stole all of the eggs and threw them at Scott and all of the other tall males. Kelsey was forced to knock her out again with the crock pot.
Thank goodness Legolas didn't get mad at me for having Nicole as a friend, but Gandalf did. He, as soon as Nicole was out of it, threw the eggs at Allie, Kelsey and me. It wasn't fair!
"Ai! Ai!" Kelsey screamed, pitching the eggs back at the him, hitting the Hobbits as well, "Eggs!" Throughout the night, people were likely to wake up and throw eggs at each other meaning barely anyone got any sleep.
Basically, we didn't have any eggs by morning. Nicole didn't mind (having no eggs, that is), but Gandalf and Aragorn got mad, asking us if we were happy about leaving an obvious sign thatthe Fellowshiphad been there and knowing that we were to be there to bear the brunt of it.
"But we're coming with you!" Nicole called, rubbing her head. "Hitchhiking. You must've heard the term before." Legolas and Aragorn looked happy until the weight of her statement sank in.
"No, you aren't!"
"It's too dangerous!"
Nicole looked up at the clouds. "Since when have you cared for our well-being?"
They had no answer for that – Allie and Scott had snuck up and gagged them. Kelsey then came flying from behind a rock and jumped Allie, who had Aragorn. Loud noises ensued as I joined in.
A little while later . . .
"Two, one, five. Good, very good," stated Boromir. Yes. He was teaching Merry and Pippin to swordfight. But he was also teaching Nicole and Kelsey. Oh, great.
"Oooh . . . This is fun . . . Nice, pointy object!" squealed Kelsey.
"Yes! Shiny, shiny, shiny!" Nicole replied.
"Move your feet," commanded Aragorn.
"Yes, milord." Kelsey giggled. Dude, she was in a weird mood today . . . Freaky.
"Kelsey? You're scaring me!"
"Whatever . . . Let's go smack Scott on the head with our swords!"
"Ooooh . . . Good idea!" And with that, Kelsey and Nicole went off to torture Scott.
"One, two, THREE! Here comes Kelsey and Nickel!" Oh, dear.
"Scott, LOOK OUT!"
"Huh?"
"And one and two and three and WHACK!" Man, Kelsey's actions were getting weirder by the second.
Allie turned around just in time to see Kelsey and Nicole hurtling at Scott and smacking him over the head with the broad side of their swords. "I'm coming!" I don't think I've ever seen Allie run so fast.
Now, imagine the "Chariots of Fire" theme song in the background. Okay. Back to the present.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Nickel! Ruuuun! The wrath of Allie is almost upon us!"
"EEEEEEEK! Run, Kelsey, RUN!" And the two fled the scene of the crime. There lay one unconscious guy. Poor Allie. They left her to clean up the mess. (Don't worry. No one's dead.)
"Kelsey! Nickel! Y'all are dead meat!"
Only a phrase from me kept Kelsey and Nicole from being fried like bacon.
"Hey, what's that?" I asked.
"It's nothing, just a wisp of cloud."
"Well, then, it's moving fast and against the wind!" recited Kelsey.
"Crebain! Hide!" yelled Aragorn frantically. Everyone ran to their respective hiding places with the speed of light. We scurried about, ducking behind rocks and putting out fires. I ended up scrunched under a huge rock, between Nicole and Legolas. The crebain circled our camp, pecking at the remains of our egg fight. I giggled, and, of course, Nicole joined in, clueless as to what was funny. Then, one crow hopped toward us, closest to Nicole. I kicked her.She looked around until she spotted it.
"Well, hello, there! My name is Nicole!"
"Squawk! Squawk!"
"No, we're not. They are . . . No!"
"Nickel, are you talking to that bird?"
"Stop it! You're hurting his feelings! His name is Bob, and he's a crebain!" she shrieked. We were doomed.
Kelsey's PoV
From my vantage point, I could hear someone talking. The idiot. My vantage point happened to be crouched on top of Aragorn's back as he lay down between the rocks. Frodo and Sam were with us, looking oddly at me. I didn't care, I was too busy trying to figure out what the people were saying below us.
"Who do you think it is?" Frodo whispered. I thought a bit.
"Nickel."
Finally, the crebain flew away. We waited a little while before emerging. Nicole was standing and chatting with a crebain on her shoulder.
"Yeah, I know! So that's how birds act when they're stuck in a group for a long time. Wow...you know, you should see it when these guys get mad. They-" Another crebain flapped down and grabbed the one Nicole had been talking to, dragging it away.
"Squawk!"
"No, Bob!" Nicole cried, sinking to her knees dramatically. "I'll never forget you!" And so Bob disappeared into the distance.
The conversation as the Crebain flew away...
"Squawk!"
"Squawk squawk squawk squawk squawk squawk." The bird hit Bob.
"Squawk!"
Kelsey's PoV
"No more fires," Gandalf announced, casting an odd glance at Nicole."I thought to rest here for some time, but it seems even Eregion of the Elves is no longer safe."
"Never was," Nicole muttered darkly, wiping her eyes.Mandy looked around, confused.
"Where's Ere--mion?"
"Gion."
"Oh, right. Where's Ere--"
"Gion!"
"I know!" Mandy shouted before letting out a huge sigh."Where's Eremion?" I rolled my eyes. Mandy was never going to get that right. Gandalf also rolled his eyes (he knew Mandy, not well, but well enough that he could expect her not to know 'Eregion'), and surveyed the camp. Finding nothing to complain about, he sighed huffily.
"At least the eggs are gone." Gandalf said, storming off angrily.
"It's okay, Grampa!" I called soothingly. Aragorn chuckled. Go, me!
Translation for the Conversation:
"Squawk!" ( But Mom!)
"Squawk squawk squawk squawk squawk squawk." (No buts. You know Saruman said not to talk to the humans. Who do you think you are?)
"Squawk!" (Ow.)
...It's a very efficient language. Anyway, I honestly don't know what Eregion is, Nickel will explain it to me, so, yes, I would do that whole thing in real life. I feel sorry for Bob though, don't you: ( R&R please!
I didn't write the sword fight part, I mean it! It was incorporated by Kelsey when she typed it. Really, it was! And mine was so much . . . well boringer, actually, so I don't mind. Midget gave Meagan and me some freaky fruits from his yard today. They taste kinda like a cross between lemons and oranges, but have the texture of a peach. But they're good!
Fun!
