LOL guys! Love you all! Dang it, I'm still sick! Nicole and Kelsey, I'm DEFINETLY not seeing y'all 'till Monday, but I may have Kristina call you to tell you to check the nextchappie. I combined two chapters to make a longer one (sorry Kelsey!)Reiewers...

Grishnakh-If you are who I think you are, then I'm glad you like it. If you are who I don't think you are, you get Monday to tell me at school. ; )

E.Tphonehome-Galadriel's in for a big suprise, but so is Haldir and Kelsey. : 0 I won't say anything else yet. ; ) Btw, if you haven't already read Lady Laswen's fic, you should. It kind of resembles ours but total hilarity, no side comments w/ Mandy loving Legolas. : )

That's everyone, for now.

Disclaimer: No. I do not own LotR, the "Lament for Gandalf," "Hakuna Matata," "Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh," or "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead," Disney songs (sorry we forgot to mention you before), or any recognizable things from movies or TV shows. Sheesh. I'm glad I got that off my chest!


Nickel's PoV

Fun Songs at Funerals

We all stumbled down the mountain, gasping. Or, the Fellowship was. We Earth kids knew all of the timeline, who dies and such. So, losing Katie, Taylor and Tomato wasn't all that devastating.

Ding-dong. Ding-dong. I rang a bell. "We mourn the fall of close friends: Katie."

Ding-dong.

"Taylor."

Ding-dong.

"Tomato."

Ding-dong.

"Koli . . ."

Ding-dong.

"And Gandalf!" Legolas yelled over my bells, successfully interrupting me.

"I was going to say his name next!" I shrieked. We'd now been walking for a few minutes with a sad Fellowship; Mandy acting sad so the Fellowship would still like her and Kelsey truly sad just because that's how she acts every time we come to that part in either the book or the movie. Me, well, I was bored.

"You could be more respectful to the rest of us and stop ringing that thing!" Legolas added. I kept on ringing it. "How can the Ladies Amanda and Kelsey stand you!"

"Because they appreciate me!" I whacked him the shoulder with the bell and kept on ringing it.


Kelsey's PoV

About five minutes after Nicole hit Legolas with the bell, I decided it was time to confiscate it. I had a migraine and the bell was most certainly NOT helping.

Ding-dong. Ding-dong. Ding-do–

I grabbed the bell, stole Gimli's axe and wandered off to one side. Everyone stopped, watching me. I dropped the bell, raised the axe and struck.

Ding-dong. Ding-dong.

The bell didn't crack. It just started ringing again.

"I love that bag!" Nicole skipped about now with some gray rocks she clacked together. "Eeli! Eeli!" She told us and continued walking.


Mandy's PoV

Kelsey was the only one still in a solemn mood. Ever the one to try to impress Aragorn, she started singing the "Lament for Gandalf," in Elvish, mind you.

"A Olorin i yaresse

Mentaner i Numeherui

Tirien i Romenori

Maiaron i Oiosaila

Mana elye etevanne

Norie i melanelye?

"Mithrandir, Mithrandir, A Randir Vithren

u-reniathach i amar galen

I reniad lin ne more, nuithannen

In gwidh ristennin, i fae narchannen

I lach Anor ed ardhon gwannen

Caled veleg, ethuiannen."

Oh, great. There was a look of awe upon every face, except Nicole's and mine. Show off.

"That was beautiful," sighed Aragorn.

"Yes, we shall miss him greatly," Kelsey responded. This was just too much. I never knew Kelsey had such a soppy, suck-up side. Ugh.

"Okay! Enough drama!" And with that, I started singing fun songs . . . To lighten up the mood. cough cough

"Hakuna Matata!

What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata!

Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!"

Soon, Nicole joined. And then, we sang even more ridiculous songs.

"Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh,

Here I am at Camp Granada;

Camp is very entertaining,

and they say we'll have some fun

if it stops raining.

"I went hiking with Joe Spivy,

He developed poi-son ivy;

You re-member Leonard Skinner?

He got ptomaine pois'ning last night after dinner.

"All the couns'lors hate the waiters,

And the lake has alligators;

And the head-coach wants no sissies,

so he reads to us from something called Ulysses.

"Now I don't want this should scare ya,

But my bunk mate has malaria;

You remember Jeffrey Hardy?

They're about to organize a searching party.

"Take me home, oh Mudduh, Fadduh

Take me home, I hate Granada;

Don't leave me out in the forest,

where I might get eaten by a bear.

"Take me home, I promise I will

not make noise, or mess the house with

other boys.

Oh please don't make me stay,

I've been here one whole day.

"Dearest Fadduh, darling Mudduh,

How's my precious little brudduh?

Let me come home if you miss me,

I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.

"Wait a minute, it stopped hailing,

Guys are swimming, guys are sailing!

Playing base-ball, gee, that's better,

Mudduh, Fadduh, kindly disregard this letter."

I think Aragorn was getting pretty frustrated with us 'cause he seized us by our arms.

"Assault! Murder! Get off!" Nicole yelped, trying to get away.

"If you have any decency you can stop singing songs like that!" Aragorn bellowed. "We are mourning for our friend!"

"Don't you mean friends?" I asked.

"No, friend."

"What about Katie and Taylor and Tomato and–"

"NO, FRIEND! WITHOUT A PLURAL 'S!'"

"Wow. Who taught you grammar? Kelsey, have you been teaching Aragorn grammar?"

"Well . . ."

"Kelsey! You torture us with that! Do NOT torture anyone else!"

"Sorry, Mandy . . . But, y'all really need to stop singing those kind of songs." Kelsey smiled widely at Aragorn. I soon broke free from his grip.

"Suck-up!" I shouted as I ran, crashing into Boromir. Oh, brilliant ideas.

"Nickel, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Kelsey asked nervously as I grabbed the Horn of Gondor.

"Yeah . . ."

"MANDY! NOOOOO!" they shouted in unison.

I blew on the Horn as hard as I could. The Horn sounded throughout the valley as I started jumping around.

"DING DONG,

THE WITCH IS DEAD!

THE WICK–"

I sang loudly before I realized that everyone was running away from a rumbling that echoed.

"Shoot! I forgot about the Orcs!" I moaned, slapping my forehead.


I love singing! Glad we got that chapter in. I'm also hoping I can get in the next few before next week, Friday or so. R&R!

Not a very smart move on Mandy's part, eh? A nice variety of songs...R&R as always!

But of course. Mandy never has the dencency or delicacy of . . . manner to properly mourn people. But of course, I'm relatively sure that if Katie and Taylor really fell into an abyss chasing Fluffy, then they would want happy songs in their honor.
