(Morning)

Aragorn: (yawns) Yes, it is the last day of 2006…

Legolas: Dang, we've been on vacation for quite a bit.

Arwen: That's an understatement.

Eowyn Dang! It's almost afternoon!

Faramir: Really? We've been sleeping that long?

Boromir: Long? I still need to sleep! My goal is always 2 in the afternoon.

Galadriel: Geez, no wonder you died, you're a lazy sloth.

Boromir: (does not answer, is sound asleep)

(suddenly, the digital clock flashes from 11: 59 AM to 12:00 PM)

Frodo: (Pops in with a party hat and balloons) HAPPY NEW YEAR! GOODBYE 2006, HELLO 2007!

Boromir: AUGH! You woke me up! Come 'ere you—

Legolas: New years isn't for another 12 hours from now!

Frodo: I know! But it is in China! See? (shows new watch showing all times from around the world)

Aragorn: (looks at Eowyn) This is all your fault.

Eowyn: My fault?! How so?

Aragorn: You were the one who got him that watch for Christmas.

Eowyn: He was giving me the puppy eyes! Frodo, show him the puppy eyes!

Frodo: (pouts and widens eyes)

Aragorn: O…Okay.

Pippin: Next stop…Japan.

Faramir: (moans)

Galadriel: Did you hear that?

Aragorn: What?

Galadriel: Some kind of nibbling sound…

Arwen: AHHHHHH! SOMEONE STOLE MY EVENSTAR!

Eowyn: Huh?

Merry: There! I see it! It's a…MOUSE!

Everyone: AAAHHHHH!

(a cute furry mouse scurries around with Arwen's evenstar)

Aragorn: Get HIM! (leaps and attempts body slam)

Frodo: Augh! (Aragorn lands on him)

Aragorn: Whoops, my bad.

Legolas: You killed him!

Aragorn: He should've died a long time ago. But what's more important is Arwen's life and Evenstar!

Merry: Frodo! Hang in there!

Frodo: (being smushed by a rather overweight ranger) Eh…

Merry: (sobbing) Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?

Frodo: No, Merry. I can't recall the taste of food... nor the sound of water... nor the touch of grass. I'm... naked in the dark. There's... There's nothing. No veil between me and the wheel of fire. I can see him... with my waking eyes.

Merry: Then let us be rid of it... once and for all. Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you! (Picks him up and moans) Urg…maybe not.

Frodo: I feel so appreciated…

Arwen: (sobbing) I have to die on the day of New Years! What if the mouse chews and breaks it? I'm DOOOOMED!

Eowyn: Stay strong, Arwen!

Legolas: (gravely) The last journey…of Arwen Undomiel.

Aragorn: Stop being an Elrond wannabe and help me get back the necklace, will ya?

Boromir: But…I don't wanna kill him! Don't you realize that in the first movie I barely do or kill anything but croon the ring?

Aragorn: I'm not asking YOU, you wimp.

Boromir: (gasps) I…I'm not a wimp…(whimpers)

Faramir: No wonder you died, you're a bloody nancy boy.

Aragorn: Less talkie more killing! We must get and kill the mouse! Here, take some swords! (suddenly, an array of swords appear before them)

Pippin: Er, why do we have swords with us?

Aragorn: C'mon!

(everyone takes a sword and lines up in a row in front of the mousehole)

Aragorn: (in front) Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!

Legolas: Err, for one thing, Galadriel, Arwen, and I are not your brothers nor sons of Gondor or Rohan.

Aragorn: Galadriel. Take your elves down the left flank. Boromir, follow the King's banner down the center. Merry, take your company right, after you pass the wall. Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Aragorn! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day... a red day... ere the sun rises!

Aragorn: Ride now!... Ride now!... Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending!
He stops and faces the mousehole

Aragorn: Death!

Hobbits: echoing Err…death!

Aragorn: Death!

Hobbits: echoing Death! Yeah, death!

Aragorn: DEATH!

Eowyn: This is just ridiculous.

Aragorn: Sorry, my kingly self was taking control.

Eowyn: …right…

Aragorn: (holds sword) All right…three…two…one! (about to strike mouse who doesn't know what's going on)

Frodo: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

(The mouse squeaks and runs back into the mousehole)

Aragorn: FOOL OF A BAGGINS! WHY THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!

Frodo: You counted down, and it is new year for Japan.

Aragorn: Why you—

Arwen: Don't kill the poor hobbit!

Aragorn: Fine, fine. (holds a sledge hammer) Here's ARAGORN! (swings hammer and accidentally lets go)

Boromir: OW!

Aragorn: My bad.

Boromir: (rubbing weak spot) Yes, your bad…

Legolas: Hey! When the mouse got scared away, it dropped the Evenstar!

Arwen: I'm saved!

Boromir: (wincing) Yeah…lucky you…

(Some hours later)

Eowyn: (On phone) All right, I'll miss you. Luv ya.

Faramir enters: WHO WAS THAT?

Eowyn: Huh?

FARAMIR: WHO DID YOU SAY YOU LOVE HIM??!

Eowyn: Faramir, I can explain!

Faramir: ROAR!!!!!!!

Boromir: Dude, Faramir, she was talking to her brother Eomer.

Faramir: Oh…

(It is about 11: 58. Pippin and Merry are on top of a table with bottles of beer in the hands)

Pippin and Merry: (singing) You can search far and wide. You can drink the whole town dry. But you'll never find a beer so brown as the one we drink in our hometown. You can drink your fancy ales. You can drink them by the flagon. But the only brew for the brave and tru-u-u-ue comes from the Green Dragon! (drinks)

Galadriel: Again!

(also, Frodo is wearing a diaper while Faramir wears a gray wig and a robe)

Faramir: I finally understand what Gandalf goes through.

Frodo: C'mon! It's time for the Baby and Old Man fight! CHARRRGE!

(Frodo immediately tackles down Faramir)

Legolas: Shush, all of you! The ball is dropping!

(everyone crowds around the tv, the silver ball-thingie is dropping)

Everyone: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Eowyn: yes! It's 2007!

Hobbits: Hip Hip Hurray!

Eowyn: And when I was in the phone with Eomer, he says that Peter Jackson is mad that we're on such a long vacation and demand us back soon!

Hobbits: Hip Hip—WHAT?!

Aragorn: And I was just getting comfy!

Arwen: Oh…we can disobey him THIS time…

A/N I never understood why there was a baby and an old man fighting on new years…anyways, the story is NOT OVER! I repeat, it is NOT OVER! Tune in soon! Oh, and you can tell I have been taking exerts out of LoTR 3 to put in this chapter. Lol. I watched it 2 times this week.
