Hey, Hey, Hey! Hello, Hello, Hello! I have returned! Did you guys miss me? Awwwww, I knew you did. XD Anyways, I haven't updated because I'm currently in the process of beating Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess two more times before Skyward Sword comes out, reading my Bible, and trying to finish the Silmarillion... I'm a busy gal, even though I hate being busy...

Anyways, I forgot to mention this last chapter: Butterfly Ninja, you are absolutely allowed to use Simba... I just wish I had another way of contacting you. :P

Skyward Sword comes out in twelve days!

Lee was having the time of her life, convincing her two hobbit companions that she could do various things that she... well, obviously couldn't. I wonder what Frodo would look like with a Mohawk.Was one of the various random thoughts that popped into her head while marching her way to Mount Doom.

She groaned as the three of them passed the same twisted tree, for the fifth time! " Hold on" Frodo spoke for the first time in a while " we've been here before" Lee rolled her eyes at the clueless hobbits. " Oh, gee thanks Sherlock" she growled through clenched teeth, ignoring the evil eye Sam gave her. Frodo took one more glance around before sitting down on a flat stone with a defeated sigh and announcing " we're lost."

Sam and Lee followed the emo hobbit's example and sat down as well. Frodo looked over at Sam " what do we have to eat?" The chubby hobbit smiled as he pulled some food wrapped in leaves out of his bag. "Well" he began " we've got Lembas, lembas, and oh look, more Lembas" Lee smirked while Frodo chuckled " nothing ever gets you down, does it Sam." The frying pan-wielding hobbit's smile faded as he looked at the grey sky above them " those rainclouds might" he sighed. Lee glanced up from her piece of Lembas " now would be a good time to look for shelter, dontcha think?" she suggested, getting off the ground and stretching her sore legs.

Frodo looked around the mountainside, his eyes lighting up as he noticed a small crack in the rock that would serve as a decent shelter for the trio. " Why don't we stay there for the night?" he suggested, leading the way after Lee and Sam wearily nodded. Frodo sighed once more as he felt some raindrops, tonight would be a long night.

" They stole it from usss, we musst get it back" hissed a scrawny creature, as it crept towards the sleeping girl and hobbits. Can you guess who it was? Twenty reader points to you, it was Gollum! The former hobbit continued murmuring phrases like that as he reached his hand out towards the ring, which happened to be on Frodo's neck.

It was at this moment that Sam woke up, shouting a battle cry as he tried to jump Gollum. It was no use, as Gollum had spent most of his life dodging creatures and climbing things, and Sam... well, hadn't.

Frodo, having been woken up by all the commotion, screamed when he noticed a hand hovering right above his neck. This also caused Lee to wake up, and believe me, waking up an already sleep-deprived Lee was basically suicidal.

The fifteen year old quickly scrambled to her feet roaring " ALL RIGHT, WHO DARES TO DISTURB MY SLUMBER!" completely ignoring the fact that Gollum had just bitten Sam's shoulder, and that Frodo was attempting to dogpile Gollum... Well, that's what it looked like anyways. She continued to roar various phrases like: "FEE FI FOE FUM, I SMELL A GOLLUM EATING MY CHUM" and so on, and so on.

The rest of the evening was spent trying to tie Gollum with Sam's epic, shiny, silver, Elven-made, rope... While trying to avoid the raging teenage girl who was stomping on whatever she could find.

It was official, Stephanie hated horses. It was bad enough that she was allergic, but after the ride to Fangorn Forest, she had a rather sore behind.

Now the four of them were trekking through the dense forest, looking for any signs of Merry and Pippin, and Aragorn was giving her the cold shoulder. Turns out he was still pretty mad about the whole ' hair washing incident'. Legolas was going on about how awesome the elves were, and how they started the Ents... Gimli seemed pretty peeved about that, so he started going on about how the dwarves were amazing at miming and forging and stuff like that... Long story short, Stephanie had nothing to do.

The company halted as Legolas murmured to Aragorn " the White Wizard approaches." The company all took up a fighting stance, well, except for Stephanie who had sat cross-legged on the ground and was eating popcorn from who-knows-where.

She watched in amusement as the man, elf, and dwarf all tried attacking the wizard, and failed. Stephanie stood as the other bowed when they realized it was Gandalf, not Saurman. Steph grinned and ran over to Gandalf crying " daddyyyyyy, you came to love meeeeee." She then began to prance around the confused wizard singing " They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard" earning a few weird looks from the others.

" Wait, wait wait. You're saying that after we came all this way to find Merry and Pippin, that they're alright, AND we have to go to Edoras?" Stephanie wailed as she trudged behind the group, back towards the horses. Gandalf sighed "yes, that is exactly what I am saying. That is the plan, so I suggest you get used to it." Stephanie sighed and said nothing...For once... " I still hate horses" she grumbled as Aragorn helped her onto his horse. " Why couldn't we have taken a dragon or something... I'm not allergic to-ACHOO- dragons" Gimli raised an eyebrow " and where do you suppose we would find a dragon?" Stephanie smiled " easy, just hire a Hufflepuff, they excel at finding things."

" A huffle-what?"

Stephanie rolled her eyes " a hufflepuff, a kind of student from Hogwarts that enjoys finding stuff." The company nodded, pretending to understand everything the crazy girl was saying.

Just as the adults in the group were becoming accustomed to the blissful silence, someone had to break it. Another ten reader points to you, it was Stephanie!. She began singing some random song about a moose " Once there was a moose ( once there was a moose)" and she continued singing it until Edoras was in sight .

Meanwhile in Edoras, a short, curly-haired girl was pacing back and forth in her chambers. Waiting for something, anything, to happen. When Jessica had arrived at the gates, she had collapsed from lack of food, water, and sleep. When one of the guards found the girl lying on the ground, he had sent word to the king, but as the king was in no state to really do... Well, anything. So the lovely shield maiden of Rohan had taken charge. Eowyn, being the awesome person that she was, had ordered that Jessica be brought to stay with her, and had basically taken the thirteen year old under her wing.

Jess smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror. One maid had noticed that Jessica lacked appropriate clothing ( apparently a T-shirt and jeans weren't considered appropriate) and had brought the guest some dresses that no longer fit her. Now usually Jess wasn't a fan of dresses, but she couldn't decline such a kind offer, that would've hurt the maid's feelings. She had also discovered the the maid's name was Cynwise, and was only one year older then Jessica.

Currently, Jessica was wearing her favourite of the dresses. It was a deep, earthy green dress that flowed down to just below her ankles, it had a dark brown trim, and the neckline was almost like a 'V'. The material seemed to be a velvety fabric, and the sleeves were large and droopy. Cynwise ( or Cyn as Jess liked to call her) had helped Jessica make a garland out of small, pale, white flowers, and dark brown twisted branches which accented the dress perfectly.

Jessica was staring out the window, searching for any signs of her Uruk-Hai friends. But there was none. She jumped as she heard the door creak open. Jessica spun around, only to find Cynwise poking her head through the door " I'm sorry miss, but there are some visitors that are heading for the hall, and I thought you might want to see them. You've been quite restless these past few days."

Jess smiled and stepped away from the window " c'mon" she linked her arm through Cynwise's and started down the hall " let's go greet some guests." was I that obvious?

What the girls saw as they entered the main hall, was what Jess had been waiting for. Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn were pretty much defeating the guards without having to even put that much of an effort into it. Gandalf was releasing Theoden from Saurman's clutches. And Stephanie was... Well, no one was really sure what she was doing. She seemed to be skipping around the hall singing " we are the champions" but why ? No one would ever know.

After Theodred's funeral, Stephanie immediately crashed on the bed that she had been told was hers. " Time for some sleep" she murmured as she drifted off into dreamland.

When she opened her eyes, she was standing in a green meadow, surrounded by trees. Nearby, Lee sat on a rock playing something on her DS. Lee looked up and shut her DS off as Jessica also arrived in the meadow.

Stephanie frowned " where are we?" Lee smiled " we're in a dream. I decided that we needed to meet and discuss what we were going to do next, so I created this dream council." Jessica nodded before turning to Stephanie " do you have the list?" the older girl dug around in her pocket before she pulled it out and proudly waved it around. " I found it!"

Lee sighed " yes, we see that."

" shut up"

" No, you should stop being so sensitive" lee growled at Stephanie.

Jess nervously stepped between the girls " c'mon guys, don't we have a plan to make?" The two girls glared at her before they resumed fighting.

" I. Am. Not. Sensitive!"

" Are too"

" Are not"

"Are too "

"Are not"

So the rest of the dream council went something like this. As you can see, it wasn't the most productive thing the girls had done, but the girls never really did anything productive anyways, so it didn't matter.
