Eep! Guys, this is the LAST chapter of Fellowship of the Freaks! Then we move on to the second part of our trilogy! Eep! Reviwers...

Gina- Hey! I thought you were at camp? Oh well. Thanks! No, he's amazingly HOT in board shorts... : )

JustMe- Oh yeah...

Well, this is it. Enjoy the last chapter of Fellowship of the Freaks and in about a week we'll start posting Two Towers. :sniff: my project's a 1/3 of the way done...

Disclaimer: We own everything in this chapter . . . except . . . for . . . the characters . . . Technically, no one owns the beings that emerge at Kelsey's doing because they don't even exist, even on the fringes of true fiction. No habla Englais. Or, as it should be, no habla Espanol.

Kelsey's Bag Flirts with "Kanon" (Canon)


Kelsey's PoV

I watched Legolas and Mandy disappear into a grove of trees, disgusted at the hint of jealousy in my gaze. Sighing, I found myself thinking about Haldir . . . Immediately I shook my head to clear my thoughts.

"Whatever," I muttered at their retreated backs and proceeded to leap into the water. When I emerged, Merry and Pippin splashed me. "Aah!"

"So, where'd Mandy and Leggy go?" Pippin asked, sarcastically emphasizing the "Leggy."

"Exploring," I replied shortly, grinning. I splashed the two and dove underwater, getting ready to leap up and splash Aragorn.

For the next hour or so, that's what we did: sneak up on one another, splash one another and slide down the zip-line. But not long after that, we were all on the beach, laughing at nothing breathlessly and wrapping towels around us.

"We'd better go back and see how Frodo's coming along," I finally decided, looking around. "Uh . . . where's Mandy?"

"And Leggy?" Merry remarked. I gave him my Galadriel eyes. He leapt up and ran behind Pippin."Yikes!"

"I'll go find them." I walked off through the forest of the island. It didn't take long to find them—the island wasn't that big.

I trekked to the opposite side of the island, where I found the two - Legolas standing on the waterfall side of the island, entwined by the golden spray and Mandy, well . . . Legolas was looking around, presumably trying to find Mandy, who was hiding behind a rock that was protruding out of the water. When Legolas turned his back to her, Mandy crept out, ducking underwater and swimming up behind him. She crouched down, then sprung out of the water, throwing her arms around Legolas' neck.

"Gotcha!" she shouted, laughing. I wondered why I hadn't heard them earlier. Legolas ducked underwater, careful not to slipp and go over the edge, grabbing Mandy and flipping her over. She came up spluttering. "No fair!" she whined as Legolas came up, catching her by the waist. Oh, no. Their faces were coming closer . . .

"Stunning performance!" I made my entrance clapping. Legolas let go of Mandy, startled.

"Wha—" She slipped underwater but came back up immediately, gasping. "Man, you know how to ruin a moment, don't you?" I shrugged.

"I do the best I can," I admitted. "And someone's got to keep you in line when Nickel can't."

"True . . ."

"Anyway, the rest of us are ready to go find Frodo. Y'all need to come, too." Mandy shrugged.

"Sure. Do you have any towels?" I threw a couple at them that the bag produced. "Thanks."

"Welcome." I turned to leave, but when I didn't hear them following, I turned around. Their lips were touching . . . "Mandy! NO! Get away from the EVIL!" The leapt apart, Mandy's cheeks flushing.

"Uh, Kelsey . . ." she started awkwardly. I rolled my eyes, walked up to her and pulled her back to the island.

"Go back," I ordered.

"Yes, mother," she muttered sarcastically. I turned to Legolas.

"If you touch her again, I will be forced to put a restraining order on you. Do I make myself understood?" I fumed.

"But—"

"No buts." I pointed in the direction we were to leave. "Go."


By the time we reached the mainland, there were swords clashing just uphill of us.

"I didn't even get to change!" I grumbled, dropping my towel and picking up my sword. Mandy was just trying to pick up a sword. I rolled my eyes (I seemed to be doing a lot of that lately) and ran uphill.

"DIE!" I shouted, running my sword through an orc. I started to go crazy, swiping my sword all over. Then, I got tired of my sword and realized I had an umbrella on me.

"How does that help?" Legolas shouted, shooting some really ugly orc with an arrow. I stabbed an orc with the extremely pointy top. ". . . Oh . . . where did all of the orcs go?" he wondered as we looked around. All of the orcs were on the ground, dead or dying, and all we could hear were birds chirping.

"Oh, no!" I moaned. "Everything's going to get out of canon! Oh, wait!" I ran back to the boats. Frodo wasn't there yet, but Mandy was still trying to pick up a sword. "Hi, Mandy!"

"Could you help me?" she begged, but I had already grabbed my bag and ran back uphill. I started pulling orcs out of it, screaming.

"More orcs!" I paused to take a particularly large orc out of my bag before continuing to run. "Shoot them!" A couple of orcs ran off in another direction, following hobbit tracks. "Yeah! I'm no longer going to ruin the canon!"


Nickel's PoV

Meanwhile, on the back of Gwaihir . . .


"All right. Now put your right foot in front—"

"Like this?"

"Yes. Like that. Now point the staff at the leaf and say 'naur.' "

"What does that mean?"

"Fire."

"Ooh . . ." I pointed the staff at the leaf. "Naur." The staff lit up. I held my breath . . . and water spewed out like a sprinkler. "I didn't mean to do that!"


Mandy's PoV

"Fine! I give up!" I shouted at the sword, putting my hands on my hips. "Wait a minute! I still have my dagger from Galadriel!" I pulled that out of my pocket and unsheathed it. I began to charge up the hill, but just then, Frodo appeared and I decided not to, considering the fight was almost over. "Hey, Frodo!"

"They took Merry and Pippin," he choked. "I have to leave by myself. I cannot bring harm to anyone else." He started to get into a boat.

"Wait!" I grabbed the boat. "Wait just a—"

"Mr. Frodo!" Sam leapt out of the forest toward Frodo. "I am coming with you!"

"Sam, no! You can—"

"Frodo." He looked at me. "Take Sam. Trust me. He'll help." Frodo nodded and got into the boat. Sam grabbed his pack and hopped in. They rowed a little ways out, then turned and waved.

"Bye!"

"Bye-bye, boys!" I called. "Have fun storming the castle!"

"Think it'll work?" Kelsey asked.

"It would take a miracle," I said before jumping in the air. "Whoa! Where'd you come from!"

"I left the guys to take care of the orcs. I killed them all before they could grab the Hobbits, so I got some more for them to fight." She turned and hid behind her shower curtain, presumably changing, and I followed suit.

"Oh . . . well, everything's still in canon," I remarked. "Frodo and Sam are off. Merry and Pippin got taken by the orcs—" I peeped around the side of the curtain when I heard some commotion. Suddenly, the guys appeared carrying Boromir. "Oh, and Boromir died."

"Oh, great," Kelsey came out in a lightweight elvish dress (yep, it is possible!), her hair tied back intricately (don't ask me how she did it in such a short matter of time) and a big black bundle in her arms. I finished up, too, and came out, nice and comfortable in leggings and a tunic, my hair tied back and clipped up.

"What's that for?"

"To cover Boromir's boat with," she explained as she spread it out. His name was embroidered underneath the letters "RIP."

"Nice," I commented.

"Yeah, check this out." Kelsey gave the cloth a good shake and Gimli's name replaced Boromir's. "It's reusable!"

"Except for the fact that it's going over the falls," I reminded her.

She glared at me and shook it out again. Here are the names that followed: Legolas, Aragorn, Mandy, Nickel, Kelsey (here, Kelsey shook it out faster than she had for the other ones), Scott, Frodo, Allie—

"Where's Boromir!" Kelsey asked angrily, flipping the cloth again. Boromir's name appeared. "Oh."

Aragorn and Legolas set Boromir in a boat and sang softly along with Kelseyas she set the cloth over the boat.

"There is a boat gone," Gimli pointed out, gesturing at the boats as Boromir's boat floated toward the falls.

"Oh, yeah . . . Frodo left with Sam," I told him.

"Then we must follow them!" Legolas cried, pushing the last boat out into the water, but no one else moved. "You mean not to follow them."

"Thank you, Captain Obvious," Kelsey muttered. Aragorn put a warning hand on her shoulder.

"Frodo's fate is no longer in our hands," Aragorn said quietly.

"Then it has all been in vain. The Fellowship has failed," Gimli sighed.

"Not if we hold true to each other. We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind. We travel light. Let's hunt some Orc."

"Yes! We'll come with you," Kelsey declared.

"Put your hands in the middle if you'll help save Merry and Pippin," I said, placing my hand in the center of the group. Kelsey and Legolas fought to put their hands on mine (Kelsey won, but I felt so special!) and Aragorn and Gimli followed suit.

"All right!" Kelsey grinned. "Now let's go find Gandalf!"

"What?"

"Nothing. Just idle talk."


And so concludes Part 1 of the trilogy . . .


LOL! That part with "have fun storming the castle"'s from The Princess Bride, if any of you didn't catch that. Good movie, I suggest all of you watch it.

And with that, PART 1 of 3 is now complete!

I'm going to miss you guys...for a week. I've got a family reunion trip. Joy ... Later!

Don't worry . . . We've got tons more! Hope you enjoyed the loooooong first part of the trilogy! I know we enjoyed writing it! R&R --The Editor

The plot shall rear it's ugly head . . . in The Return of the King. Unfortunately, the first two installments of our plot are purely set-up (which is usually the business of the first two chapters) and you will have to wait. Our plot really begins closer to the end of RotK than the beginning. You will enjoy it! Our plot is . . . odd. What is the plot, Kelsey? (klc is sitting next to me watching as I write this).

I ain't telling nobody, nohow.

Oh fie. She says we can't give it away. Faw. Oh well, soon TTPBNlT shall begin! klc has the manuscript. But first, a preveiw of what is to come!


-a bit of light lingered over our wizard friend.

"Duck," Mandy advised.

"FEET!"A large something flew out of the tree and dove for everyone's feet. Ernie and I backed away from doom, but Legolas was in the line of fire as the something clung to his feet.


Well? Who is it? Who dives for people's feet? Gina, you should know this. Guess, guess!

It's Over! Nooooooooooooo! If you reveiw, Nickel will type her part faster, but Klc will probably steal it, since I will not type without reviews! Mwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa No! not the manuscript! And please read and reveiw my story (A Walk down memory lane because, while it has a plot, I need help with the fluff of the edges. Stuffing ideas, people!
