OMG we're back! Hopefully, we'll be updating more often. We've just had some...issues...with updating. But with luck, you'll get more chapters sooner than we have been posting! Loyal reviewers, who stuck with us even when it took us forever to update, I grovel and beg your forgiveness for us not talking to you. Anyway...

Gina--...hush. I'm working on being better...

Iceprincess141414--Wow...funniest story ever... :bows humbly: Thank you!

JustMe--:looks at you in horror: I would never abandon a story! That's like abandoning a kitten! Or a puppy! Or...it's bad. Trust me, we're working hard to get these up! The thing is, school has decided to exist again . . . funny thing, that. You'ld figure it'd be smart and not bother (personaly, I dont think we're learning much anymore)

Disclaimer--do you really think anything's changed. :blows nose: I still don't own it. Are you happy now? I own nothing. :sniff:

Kelsey--Actually, we do own Kelsey and Mandy and Nicole.

Mandy--True...but Nickel's disappeared in these chapters. Mwahaha!

Nickel--. . . I resent that . . . Anywho, all hail the mighty Tolkien, for even in death he owns all the Trilogy.

Mandy--:sniff:

And now, the wonderfully elaborate, though kind of short, continuation of the second part of our trilogy!

The Orc-like Become Orcs!

(No, our heroines do not become orcs! Get your mind out of the gutter!)

Kelsey's PoV

Our horses trotted around the pile of pile of dead orcs.

"Ew…" Mandy pinched her nose. "They smell really gross!"

"No dur." I dismounted. "Hey! Check it out! There are some tracks here!"

"Well what did you expect?" Mandy retorted, remaining on our horse until she saw Legolas nearly collapse in grief. "Oh Leggy! It's okay!" I rolled my eyes and started looking around.

"One hobbit lay here, another there. They crawled. Their bonds were cut." I scowled to add dramatic effect. "They were follow-"

"AARRGGH!" Aragorn shouted, kicking an orc helmet. Then he started hopping up and down on one foot.

"ADA!" I yelped, rushing to his side. "Oh! I knew this would happen! You broke your toe! Sit down, now!" (When Aragorn kiched the helmet in the movie, he did acctully break his toe. No surprise)

"But-"

"NOW!" I ordered. Aragorn sat down and I pulled several pillows, placing them all around him.

"Kelsey?" Mandy asked slowly. "Tell me that doesn't look like Jacob." I looked around at the dead orcs, particularly at where Mandy was pointing. She just happened to be concerned with the head of the orc that was stuck on a spear.

"Too bad," I commented, wrinkling up my nose. "'Cause it does."

"Yeah…and that looks like Michael! And Roger! And…" Mandy gasped. "Don't tell me those two are Tyler and Jeffery!" I screamed.

"YES! They got what they deserved for trying to hook up with my cousin!" I cheered. Now Mandy got to roll her eyes.

"Whatever. Why do you think they were here?" I paused.

"They got what they deserved," I replied solemnly. Mandy frowned, rubbing her forehead.

"Whatever." Mandy walked over to the edge of Fangorn forest. "So…what do we do now?"

"Camp," Aragorn answered, getting up from his pile of pillows to examine the hobbit's tracks. "It is getting dark, and we cannot venture into Fangorn at night. It is too dangerous."

"Ditto," I agreed, dragging the few bags we had over to the spot where Mandy stood. Legolas and Aragorn dragged the horses over and Gimli started a small fire.

"Ooo…what's for dinner?" Mandy asked, grabbing a sleeping mat from my bag and stretching out on it.

"Lembas."

"LEMBAS!" she groaned. "We've had that, like, every day!"

"Well, do you want to cook something?" I snapped, my temper getting the better of me (can you blame me? We'd been running for four days straight after all!). Mandy scowled.

"No! You know I can't cook!" she replied, rolling over on her side.

"Then have some lembas." Mandy reluctantly took the piece I threw at her and nibbled on it, muttering and staring at the floor.

Mandy's PoV

Lembas again. Man, that stuff was good…originally. Now it tasted like…no, okay, it was still good. But old.

I think I started to doze off, 'cause the next thing I knew everyone was snickering softly.

"Whaz wrong?" I yawned, sitting up.

"Milady, do you realize you snore?" Gimli burst out laughing. I shifted uncomfortably. There was a giant rock underneath my sleeping mat.

"Yeah…" The rock was getting annoying. Maybe if I pushed it a little it would move...

"Well, Mandy, you snore loud," Kelsey commented as I kicked the rock with my foot. No such luck. I shrugged, still pretty sleepy, and stumbled to my feet.

"Where's the bathroom?" I slurred, trying to keep my balance.

"In the bushes," Kelsey snickered before I tripped over the rock and fell on top of Legolas and Gimli.

"Mandy!" Kelsey leapt up and pushed me off them. "Bad Mandy! Bad!"

"What!"

"You don't fall over and land on guys, much less your crush!" Kelsey pushed me on my sleeping mat and then sat down by Aragorn. I rolled my eyes sleepily and sat up. Legolas scooted over to sit by me. I smiled at him and leaned against him, staring at the fire. Ooo…pretty…

"Mandy!" Kelsey hissed, jerking my senses awake. I looked over at her. Her eyes were wide with shock as she pointed into the forest. "Who's that?"

Bwahaha! It's not long, but I left you with a cliffhanger! I feel so evil! Who will it be? Review and see!

OMG...I made a rhyme...WOW! Coolio! R&R pwetty pweeeease!

Haha! Sorry guys! As Mandy said, we've been having lots of trouble updating...I had the manuscript, but I had absolutely no time to type anything up, so I gave it to Mandy at a football game! (The only time I ever see her.)(Mandy-- :tears up: so sad...) So, we will hopefully be updating more often as she has more time than I do to type! --The Editor

NicKel has returned! Mwahaahaha! Unfourtunatly she is unnaturaly lazy and so hasn't been doing much - thats not true, I've acctualy been doing dance three nights a week instead of one. Ouch. R&R please!
