For everyone's information, the skirmishes between charaters are actually of importance to the plot - not because anyone got mad at anyone while writing. Also of importance are Gandalf's staff and several of the appearances. These peole (most of them) are not purely random. Not if I have anything to do with it. Yes, they shall be of great consequence! The army of band geeks! ye'ah!


Hey! Thanks for the reviews...

BlackRoseOrchid: Thanks very much...Relatively, yes...At least I'm more normal than the authors! Yeah right . . .

Just Me: Yes. The authors do have an odd obsession with The Wizard of Oz...and Wicked... Especialy Mandy, cause she knows the pitch of the songs as well as the words!

carolsi13: We love randomness too!

E.Tphonehome: Fish heads...Interesting... Nickel Likes fish heads too, especialy bobble heads.

Protector of Canon2: Man...Everyone seems to love the randomness of this fanfic... And this is a problem, why, Kelsey?

Lorelome: Mystery Fruits? I hate it when Kelsey emails our reviewers and I don't know what they are talking about. Please doexplain.

Hope I didn't miss anyone...!


Disclaimer: Um...Nope! Still don't own this darn thing. Wish I did, though! One other thing, Kelsey doesn't own, The right to post sddenly and withourt warning! Don't be scared, readers. nickel is just mad that Kelsey posted while sick and called her chapie she wrote parts of while falling asleep much ado about NOTHING! These are important issues. Now I'm done ranting. And would people stop schanging my titles?

Now...We can finally get to the "good" stuff...


Of Squid (Or sushi which Nickel finds disgusting)

Madny's PoV

"I'm sorry, Nickel!"

"Then you admit that Legolas is an idiot."

"No."

"Then you aren't sorry."

"Please forgive me," I begged, dropping to my knees.

"Not unless you ignore Legolas until we get out of Lothlorien."

"Nickel!"

"No."

"Please, no?"

"No . . ." Nicole paused at the begging look in my eyes. "Fine. You only have to ignore him while we're in Moria."

"Nickel!"

"That's the deal."

"Ah, here it is at last!" cried Gandalf.

"Funky road." Kelsey kicked a stone.

"Do we follow it?" Allie asked.

"Yes, let us go onward," Aragorn answered her. "Though, I do not like this."

"It's okay!" Kelsey skipped ahead.

"Please, Nickel!" I gave Nicole my puppy eyes.

"Fine, but don't annoy me."

"Thankee! Thankee!"

"Go away!"

"Okay." I trotted after the Fellowship.


Nickel's PoV

If Mandy had agreed to my original terms, I might not have done it. But, as it was, I pretended friendliness as we approached the West gate. Of course, the whole valley thing was flooded. But I was still mad. I stomped North around the lake-thingy.

"Nickel?" Mandy trailed after me. "Are you alright?"

"Fine. Never been better." I stumbled across the stream.

"Nickel, I'm sorry." We reached the gate.

"I'm fine!" I yelled the last word, causing a huge echo.

"What's the bet there'll be another avalanche?" Kelsey asked, sauntering over. She twitched. "Hiya!" Kelsey cried and stabbed the water with my sword.

"Hey! That's mine!" I protested.

She handed it over. "I wanna kill the stupid squid."

"I like squid."

She glanced at me. "Freak," she mumbled and tossed me the sword, pulling hers out from its sheath. "Together?"

Mandy drew her sword and we stabbed the water all together while yelling, "Die, squid!" This was fun.

The Fellowship had caught up with us. "Will you stop that?" Gandalf demanded, knocking me back from the water as Legolas and Aragorn pulled Mandy and Kelsey back as well.

"You're no fun!" Kelsey whined at him. Gandalf glared at her before turning to the matter at hand. The doors, that was. We continued stabbing the water.

Allie looked around, seemingly bored. Scott and Tomato were throwing stones in the water. She grabbed them by their ears and dragged them to the doors. "Mellon," she spoke uninterestedly. She dragged the boys through as the doors swung open. The Fellowship followed. Then, the Watcher decided to make an appearance and be annoying.

With squeals, Mandy and Kelsey leaped into the holly trees. I, however, remained, fighting off the beast as it reached for Frodo. "Death! Death!" I screeched. Frodo was free. I defended his back as he ran in, sweat dripping down my brow. I hadn't sweated like this since my dance recital last year. I blinked.

"Lady Kelsey!"

"Lady Amanda!"

Aragorn and Legolas stood behind me, calling for their admirers. "Leave Lady Nicole! She seems to be doing well."

I would not retreat. Oh, how I wanted at that moment to turn and kill them both, but then, the stupid squid thingy would have gotten me. Drat.

"Nickel!"

I was almost to the door. The stupid thing kept pushing me back.

"Nickel!" Something hit me in the stomach, and I flew backward into someone's arms as Mandy and Kelsey dove from the trees into the Mines. We ran up the steps. I turned and paused. A huge banging noise echoed through the entrance.

We were locked within Moria.


So, what'd ya think! Huh? Huh? Huh? I'm watching FotR as I type up chapters 'cause I'm home sick...Fun...NOT! Kinda funny that at the time I was typing this chapter, I was actually at Moria...Freaky...Anyway, R&R!

Hola! 'Sup? I love you all for your reviews! LOL. You know, some guy at my school was making fun of me for saying LOL. Then he called me a newb (spelling?). Then I made fun of him and said to him, "LOL newb!" He doesn't like me now. Or my monkeys. Darn... R&R!

Ahh . . . the Lord Byron romance. Mandy laughed at me for that. it was a good chapter too. And here ends my wrting . . . until soon. I hope. I like writing. Reviewer people , i need ideas for Return of the King cuz we havn't got much outlined yet . . . except at the lack gate which I wrote late at night - actually it came from a dream. Hey . . . maybe I should incorperate that lake thing. Aragorn dared me to jump into a freezing lake. . . by a steam train . .. yeah . . . and then there was that drought. I should stop now.
