Chapter 14

The Beginning

In which we are bounced around like ping pong balls and it's annoying.

Mandy's PoV

"Whoa!" I crashed into Kelsey.

Nicole came hurtling around the corner and fell over, barely missing the human pile. "Ow." she groaned.

"What'd you stop for?" I asked Kelsey. She pointed mutely. "Oh." Instead of the big white hall, a black abyss stretched in front of us, swallowing up the flood and walls. It was like a darkness, there was a point where the white stone got kind of gray, then disappeared entirely. "Forward?" I asked nervously, looking back, "or not." We were surrounded by darkness, except where we stood, but even the bit of light we had was swiftly disappearing. We were soon floating in sheer nothingness.

"How did this happen"" Kelsey wailed. So we weren't in nothing, I though sagely - sound didn't carry in nothing.

"We have ties to the void." Nicole said calmly, "We are of it, you know."

"It's incredibly boring." I told her sourly.

"I know." She said sweetly, "sing something then."

"Why?" Kelsey asked.

Nicole didn't grant us an answer.

Kelsey hummed a bit, "I wonder what Haldir will think."

I sighed, "I'm lonely." Someone whacked me, "Hey!" I attempted to strangle the mean person.

"Ow!" Kelsey yelled, "That's my neck!"

"My hair!"

"Mandy!"

"yowch!"

We finally stopped fighting.

"Where's Nickel?"

"I don't know."

"I wish I could see."

I peered about, "I'm bored."

Kelsey whacked me, "Nickel said to sing."

I sighed, "Nickel is strange."

Kelsey whacked me again

"Lego is hot and fine and…hot!" I sang softly before Kelsey hit me upside the head, groaning.

"Do you know any other songs? That don't involve Legolas no matter how hot he is?" I thought for a moment.

"So long and thanks for all the fish-"

"NO!"

There was a whoosh of color and light. I stared at Nickel who was picking up a plastic bottle of something that had spilled into the sink.

"What happened?" I asked her.

She smiled, "You spilled something, Mandy, what else?"

Kelsey's PoV

I blinked as a jet of water hit my nose.

"Shelby!" I screamed, running for my sister, "I'm so glad to see you!"

She squirted me again, "Are you all right, Kelsey?"

I smiled, "yeah . . .Gotcha!" I yelled, making use of a can of silly string in my hand.

"Kelsey."

I was home.

Nickel's PoV

I stared at the sky, lying on my back on the picnic bench. It was very calm here, almost like Arda. I would miss it - that was for sure. But I was glad to be back. It would be difficult to live in two worlds. And I would be in two worlds now. A smile twitched on my lips. Poor Glorfindel, he would be so confused. I ought to remedy that.

"Je suis tombé amoureusse." I giggled a bit, what I wouldn't give to see Glorfindel in this world. Not that that was posi- maybe . . . just maybe.

Aragorn's PoV:

"Where's Kelsey?" Haldir asked, walking sedately into the throne room where Eomer stood with me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, "Wasn't she with you?"

"She went ahead with Nickel and Mandy to see you two." Legolas answered, "Aren't they here?"

Glorfindel walked in, his face a blank mask of terror, "oh no, no, no!" he wailed, wandering around, looking behind statues, "Come back, Mírisil, Nickel, where have you gone?" he continued wailing and wandering around.

Eomer stared after Glorfindel, "The girl with the carpet is gone?"

"And the other two, yes." I told him, "apparently . . ."

Haldir and Legolas shared a terrified look, 'What if . . ." But none of us dared to say it out loud. It would be too tragic to lose them.

"What if what?" Eomer demanded.

"What if they went home?" I asked, feeling the need to voice our fear.

Glorfindel ran around the room, yelling something, then stopped, and it was almost worse than the screaming, "Yes, they have gone." He told us, but his voice brightened, "I think it will work out though."

"What is it, Glorfindel?" Legolas demanded.

Glorfindel shrugged us off, and left, singing something tuneless and sounding like Nickel had taught him.

"Well that was useful." Haldir muttered sarcastically, "But since he's happy, we can suppose they are all right."

Legolas groaned. "This is annoying."

I shrugged and led Eomer to his rooms, hearing only the last comment from Haldir, "And I was going to propose to her tomorrow."

I smiled, Haldir wasn't so bad for Kelsey, not really. But if only she would come back.

Morgoth's PoV

It was very quiet in the void. But the void was gone, and I was back in a world that had no Valar to protect it. Sauron stood at my side, eyes wide with amazement at the sight of this world.

"I didn't know you were so creative, Morgoth." He breathed.

I laughed, "You know full well I cannot make anything. No, this is manipulation as it should be."

Sauron stared longingly at someone's Saab. I grimaced, but then again, what did Sauron know about cars? What did Sauron know about anything?

"We have a lot to do, Sauron." I growled, "And I would advise against stealing a Saab, get yourself a Porsche."

Well . . . that's it for The return of the Power Hungry Monarchs. We have the first few chapters of the sequel, but it isn't getting posted till we have a title for it. Titles are important you know, so please give me some ideas. we had something a while ago, but I don't remember what it was . . . maybe we should go simple - The Hobbit kind of thing . . . hmmm . . .

You may or may not have noticed that Cellular Palantirs was taken off the waiting to be posted list - I incorperated it into the end of the sequel - it fit better. So . . . that's it.

Luv ya'all and thanx so much for your reveiws and help on this, especieally Gina/Cu, Meagan, Queen Islandzadi and of course Remember to Feel Real to whom you honestly owe Pastrami, as he might not have come to Gondor if not for one fateful reveiw.
