Chapter 2- The Fellowship

The Fellowship of the Ring finally arrived on the field. The Hobbits were forced to carry all of the equipment. They realized they were being stared at by the opposing team.

"Why are we getting stared at?" Merry asked.

"Quit scaring the other team Gimli," Legolas said amusedly. Gimli glared at his Elf companion.

"Look, there's someone that's our height!" Pippin said excitedly.

"Don't worry about them," Gandalf said.

They entered the dugout labeled "The Fellowship" and set up their equipment. Once everybody was seated, they elected Aragorn to be the team captain, with him being a king and all.

"Gentlemen, this will be the glorious day in which we will defeat and conquer the opposing team! The courage of all will shine on this-"Aragorn started.

"You're not king of this field Aragorn, "Gimli growled. "Tell us our positions already!"

"Oh yes, sorry," Aragorn said sheepishly.

"That was a good introduction," Merry complimented.

Aragorn smiled. "Alright, Gandalf will start at second base. Legolas will be at shortstop. I will pitch, Boromir will play at first base, Merry at right field, Frodo in center field, Pippin at left field, Sam is catching, and Gimli will play at third base. Are there any objections?"

"Why do I bat last?" Gimli complained.

"Because you're one of a kind, Gimli," Legolas answered. He received another glare from the dwarf.

"TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME!" Boromir suddenly burst into song.

"Boromir,"

"TAKE ME OUT TO THE CROWD! BUY ME SOME PEANUTS AND CRACKER JACKS!"

"Boromir…"

"I DON'T CARE IF WE EVER GET BACK, BECAUSE IT'S STRIKE 1, 2, 3, YOU'RE OUT OF THE OLD BALL GAME!"

"BOROMIR!" everyone shouted.

"What?" Boromir asked innocently. "Can't I bring a little team spirit in this dugout?"

NO!"

"Why not?"

"Because Gollum with a head cold can sing better than you," Sam remarked.

"Watch it Shorty!" Boromir warned.

"Boromir," Aragorn said wearily.

"Yes?"

"Shut up."

"Let's win this game!" Legolas cheered excitedly. He did a little dance that looked like a dance routine.

Gandalf chuckled. "We found our cheerleader."
