Chapter 6: 20 Questions

Disclaimer: I don't own LOST or LOTR

A/N: Thanks for the reviews everyone. Here is the next chapter!

Let's see how the other group is faring.

By now, Ana just wanted to punch Sawyer in the face. Seriously how much more annoying could he get? They had walked a long time, without finding anything.

"We should play a game." Sawyer said.

"What?" Ana asked, looking behind her at him.

"Yeah a game. To pass the time." Sawyer said.

Ana rolled her eyes "Like what?"

"20 questions." Sawyer said.

"Isn't that a little handheld game?" Ana asked.

"Yup." Sawyer replied.

"Ok.. How do you play?" Ana asked.

"I think of something, and you ask me twenty questions. It's as simple as that." Sawyer answered.

"Why can't I be the one to think of something?" Ana asked.

"Cause I like being on top. Have a problem with that Rambina?" sawyer asked.

"Whatever. " Ana said. "Look. The only way I'm playing is if I am the one to think of something."

" Fine. Have you thought of anything yet?" Sawyer asked.

"Give me a second." Ana said.

"Ok. How long can it take you to think of one thing? Or is your brain too small?" Sawyer asked.

"Got it." Ana glared at Sawyer. They were now walking side by side, lagging behind Sayid and Locke.

"Is it a animal?" Sawyer asked.

"You could say that." Ana replied.

"Does it have four legs?" Sawyer asked.

"It acts like it does." Ana said.

"Does it bark?" Sawyer asked.

"Yeah." Ana said.

"A dog." Sawyer said.

"You can't guess yet. We're not done." Ana said.

"Well I am. You were answering with more than yes and no so I think we can bend the rules a little." Sawyer said.

"Well you're wrong." Ana said.

"I'm wrong? How the heck can I be wrong?" Sawyer asked in disbelief.

"That's not a yes/no question." Ana mimicked Sawyer.

Sawyer sighed then asked another question. "Does it live in the wild?"

"Yes."

"Is it friendly?"

"No."

"Would humans want to be around it?"

"No, but they have no choice."

Sawyer fell silent. He was starting to have a guess of what this thing was.

"Is it a human?" Sawyer asked knowingly, looking in Ana's eyes.

"By the way it acts, no." Ana said, looking back at him.

"Do you have feelings for him?" Sawyer asked, now that they both knew that the answer was himself.

Ana looked at him in surprise at the sudden question.

"I don't know." Ana said, looking ahead and running to catch up to Sayid.

Sawyer stopped and looked after her. "That's what I thought" then he continued to walk on.

"How can this happen?" Gandalf asked Jack.

The fellowship and the others had met and were discussing what to do, while learning of each other's backgrounds. Jack and Gandalf found out that they were both leaders, and felt it would be productive to talk things over.

Jack shook his head. "I don't know. I think that for now we need to find my other group because they can help."

"Other group? How many of there are you?" Gandalf asked.

"I don't know for sure exactly… around forty-five more or less. "Jack answered.

Kate had started to follow Aragorn around, trying to get anything she could out of him. Aragorn was wondering who this freak was, and Boromir thought the spectacle was funny.

"hHow old are you?" Kate asked.

Aragorn saw his chance to get away. "I'm over eighty. Yes that is right, over eighty. How do I look this good? I am of the Dunadan"

Kate gasped. "You are so mean! Why would you lie to me like that? Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't act this way. I don't act this way. Just ask Jack. Well actually, don't ask Jack. Ask Charlie. Yes. Ask Charlie."

Aragorn rolled his eyes. "Ok. Then act normal.

"Ok." Kate said, happy to be given a second chance.

Merry pulled Charlie over to a secluded area so they could talk about what had happened.

"So what did you see?" Merry asked.

"You and a bunch of things that have obviously happened to you." Charlie replied.

"Yeah me too." Merry said thoughtfully.

"What do you think it is all about?" Charlie asked.

"I don't know. Don't you think it is weird that we sort of look alike?" Merry asked.

"So I am not the only one that thinks that. Well if you grew a beard and cut your hair, maybe we would look alike." Charlie said.

"Why can't you grow your hair out and cut your beard so we look alike?" Merry asked.

"Because I like my little hairs." Charlie said, rubbing his chin as if he didn't they would disappear or something.

Merry rolled his eyes. "Well I like my hair too."

"What is up with like all of you having long hair?" Charlie asked.

"What? I don't know.. We just do." Merry said.

"This is really weird…" Charlie said.

Pippin came over to them. "Hi." Pippin said, staring at Charlie.

"Hey." Charlie said.

"He's ok Pip. I've talked to him. Don't worry." Merry said.

"Pip? That's your name?" Charlie asked, shaking his head.

"Pippin." Pippin said.

"ok…" Charlie said.

Legolas and Gimli walked over to Gandalf and Jack, who were in an intense conversation about the burden of leading.

"Well it's hard because they trust you. But Jack, you have to remember that they trust you for a reason, and so therefore you must know that you are doing a good job." Gandalf said, laying an understanding hand on Jack's shoulder.

Jack looked at the hand on his back. He felt a little uncomfortable with it since they just met but maybe in their world they were like that or something. "But I didn't want to lead. I still don't, yet they still come to me for guidance."

"You will want to someday Jack. I assure you." Gandalf gave Jack's shoulder an encouraging squeeze and then there was a awkward silence. Jack was hoping that Gandalf would take his hand off of his back because it was very weird and it was creeping him out. Thankfully, Legolas and Gimli came at that point.

Jack stood up then, shaking Gandalf's hand off his back. "Hello."

"Hi." Legolas said. "So have you guys figured anything out?" Legolas asked.

"Yes. We are going to go find our other group and then we will talk from there." Jack said.

Gandalf stood up and leaned on his staff. "How is everyone taking it?"

"Ok. I think we are all a little shocked by this outcome." Gimli said.

"I don't think we've met. I'm Jack." Jack lent out a hand to Gimli.

"Gimli. I'm a dwarf if you're wondering." Gimli said.

""Dwarf? Wow." Jack said. Wizards, elves, hobbits, and now dwarfs. This was weird.

Gandalf looked at Jack. "Watch me now. We are going to have a little meeting and I want you to see how I handle it so you will understand more about leadership."

Jack nodded his head. " Ok."

Gandalf smiled at him, then started gathering everyone together.

"Hey everyone, let's gather together and talk." Gandalf said.

Everyone flocked around Gandalf and Jack. Jack couldn't help but notice that Kate was hanging around Aragorn still.

"We have decided we are going to go find Jack's other group, and then we will try to figure out how to get back. "Gandalf said.

"Okay." Everyone said. Everyone trusted Gandalf one hundred percent. Though the Mines of Moria had been tough. But they had gotten out of there alive more or less so they still trusted Gandalf.

"We will sleep through the night first. Who will take the first shift?" Gandalf asked.

Aragorn's hand immediately shot up, and Kate's hand followed. "Ok. Who else?" Gandalf asked.

"I will." Jack said.

"Ok." Gandalf said. Everyone started preparing to go back to sleep.

"Now that Jack, is how you lead." Gandalf said, then he went off to bed.

Jack shook his head. There was just something creepy about that guy, but he couldn't figure it out.

A/N: All right so please review! Next chapter they will meet up with Locke, Sayid, Ana, and Sawyer.
