Grishnakh: You know where I live? Creepy. (Kelsey: Well, I know where he lives because our choir teacher had to drive us home, and she dropped him off first . . . He lives on the other side of the overpass by our old intermediate school . . .)

BlackRoseOrchid/Poison; I was talking to Lisa. Why would they threaten Boromir with a sword? And why threaten Legola?. Mandy wuvs him!

Okay, for the gift that Mandy deleted (cuz Mandy can't recognize a link if it bops her on the nose), go to http/www. reviewer.youaremyfriend .com

I had to add spaces cuz ff.n is being picky and won't let me type in the address.

Why is it taking so long to get reviews, people? WHY? I want more reviews next time!

Back on the Anduin . . .

Day 2


Mandy's PoV

"Ya know, tomorrow is Nickel's birthday."

"Yeah."

"We should celebrate," I told Kelsey.

"And how should we do that?"

"I have the perfect idea . . ."


Legolas' PoV

Oh! How the sun shines in joy at the beauty of my love. (A/N: "Good morning, starshine! The Earth says hello!" Couldn't you just see that!)Even the sun has not such golden hair and glowing skin as she. Not even the sun has her endless joy that shines over all who see it. But the sun celebrates her beauty and tells the world of my golden love.

Lady Amanda . . . Mandy . . . What an odd name. Perhaps, among her people, the name means the very beauty she possesses or the good nature . . . How I long for peace so that I might seek her hand. Oh! What a happy day it would be! I should compose a song for her. Let's see . . . I will sing it to her someday. Hmm . . .

The sun will shine,

The moon will glow,

My love may have broken her toes.

But though she is weary,

Her voice is like wine

To mine tired ear.

Injured by her dear friend's sheer,

Unnatural singing.

That will certainly not do. I should praise her, not insult Lady Nicole, no matter how badly she sings.


Kelsey's PoV

"I'm sure they won't mind, especially since Nickel isn't singing. Oh, and we could have dancing, 'cause Nickel dances so pretty and mimes! Ooh! I can't wait!"

"Mandy, calm down!"

"Okay, okay. We should perform a skit and have frying pan fights and–"

"Save it for when we have time. Just stick to the original plan for now."

"Okay . . . wait, which plan?"

"The singing."

"Oh! That plan! So I thought we could get microphones . . ."

Mandy was much too chatty when bored. Eru help us, or her, rather.


Gimli's PoV

"Legolas, how can you admire the Lady Amanda so much. She's so chatty!"

"Her voice is a healing balm to my ears and heals me of the unnatural singing of the Lady Nicole."

"Yes, I must agree. She sings worse than orcs. Perhaps she has the blood of such creatures in her veins."

"I would like to think so, but she and the Lady Amanda and the Lady Kelsey are close enough to be sisters. They would not associate themselves with someone of orc descent or who has orc blood in her veins."

"I suppose so, but still, there is indeed something fiendish about her voice." Legolas smiled slightly.

"Indeed, Master Dwarf." A squeal echoed across the water. Its source was evident. Their source was evident—the Ladies Amanda and Kelsey's boat.

"Perhaps they have partaken of the 'coffee' Lady Nicole gave the hobbits."

"That is very likely."


Pippin's PoV

"So, like, Boromir, what's up man?"

"What does your speech mean?"

"Can I row with you're, like, paddle?"

"Of course not. You cannot manage it with just Merry. The current is too strong."

"'Sokay, dude!"

"I'm bored," Merry piped up. "My arms hurt!"

"Well, so does my leg!" Mandy echoed across the water.

"Seventy-three today, Lady Amanda."

"Aargh!"

"Lady Kelsey–"

"I'm bored!"

"This chaos is awesome, dude."

"What did you say, Frodo?"

"Coolio, Frodo speaks 'Teenager.' I knew we'd win him over!"

"Shut up, Mandy, I have a headache."

"Sorry, Kelsey."


Mandy's PoV

I yawned, "Yaaaagh, I'm tired. It's been a long day!"

"You should not have paddled, Lady Amanda."

"I'm okay. I just need . . . just need . . . yaaagh . . . sleep . . ." I slipped to the ground. Man, was I tired . . .


Kelsey's PoV

"Legolas, there is something I must tell you about Mandy."

"Yes, Lady Kelsey?"

"Mandy is a walking prophet – sort of."

"Is she really?"

"Yup. She speaks in her sleep. Now, watch, listen and learn."

I walked over to Mandy and in a moaning, miserable voice spoke: "Mandy, do you have any Ibuprofen?"

Mandy mumbled a bit. I changed my voice to a lightly cheery but worried one. "Mandy, Kelsey has a really bad headache. Where does your mom keep the Ibuprofen?"

"I don know . . . I get you sum in de mornin' . . ." she mumbled. I stifled my laughter and changed my voice to the former, pained one.

"Mandy, where are your crackers? If I get some food, the headache might go away?"

"Downstairs, fourth shelf . . ."

Now, Legolas might not have understood the Ibuprofen, but he understood the cracker thing. I nearly collapsed as giggles began to surface, but he silenced me.

Legolas crept over to Mandy and asked her, "Will the Quest succeed?"

"Find your grail, find your grail!" she sang (A/N: "Monty Python").

"Lady Amanda, will Frodo destroy the Ring?"

"Gandalf, there's fire below us!" (A/N: "How It Should Have Ended")

The rest of the Fellowship looked up from the fire.

"No worries, people. Mandy is just what you'd call clinically insane!"

"Lalala!" I kicked Mandy for being such an idiot and emitting such odd noises. That was enough fun for one night.


That really did happen, me talking in my sleep. My sister, Nicole, and Kelsey all say it has happened. Above is a direct quote with what happened at a sleepover...I think it was my birthday sleepover, actually. Then, one time, my sister walked into my room to tell me to turn off my light because my parents wanted me to. Problem; I was asleep. So my sister said, "Amanda, your light's on." And I said, "Oh...oops," reached over, and turned the light off. Now I've been laughed at multiple times because of it...oh well. -Mandy

P.S. You shouldlook up "How it Should Have Ended" just on your search engine. Watch the video--Trust us, it's hilarious!

Sorry for all of the PoV changes! Hope you liked it! Oh! And hopefully y'all aren't going clinically insane just reading this! Oh, yes, it did happen! It was not her birthday sleepover. We had been doing a LotR movie marathon and each of us (except for health-nut Nickel) had one 7Up per movie. I got a really bad migrain--one of only two in my life--got queasy and just overall really sick. It was really bad! So, our friend Katya asked Mandy where the Ibuprofen was and the above scene eventually occurred. When we found out that Mandy was going to be of no help, I asked her where the crackers were, thinking something salty might help settle my stomach, and she said the dialogue above. Sure enough, there were the crackers! --The Editor

Yes, and at my birthday, when she slept, Mandy woke up in the middle of the night at a right angle to how she had gone to sleep and woke up in the morning back where she started. She didn't talk though.

It's the official how it should have ended website. Select the LotR one. Tata!
