Iceprincess141414--Which crush? My real one or the fanfic one: P LOL, one of my friends is a Freshman and she's dating a Junior. It's pretty common to see that in high school. Besides, it took me 3+ months to catch my guys, the real one or the fanfic one. (Real-met on June 3, went out on September 1. Fanfic-met before Oct. 25 (council), am kind of dating at this point in the fic, so mid-March).

Titvan--YAY! New reviewer! Here's a cookie! I actually made some last night for my birthday... : D Anyway, Mandy was trying to fish for Leggy so she could ride with him...yeah, my character has MAJOR fangirl issues...

Guess what (again)?! Cookies for everyone::throws out cookies:: YAY! I love you guys. Have a good Thanksgiving! Nickel, I'm sorry I posted this before you could review it, but...well, I wanted to post it! Love you too... :D

Disclaimer--Nope. Don't own it. ::phone rings:: Hang on a sec. "Uh huh...Yes?! Did we get it?! YES?! PARTY::dances:: Wait...what?! Oh...okay. Bye." No, don't have it. ::cries::

New Visitors

Mandy's PoV

"I don't get it."

"What don't you get Mandy?" Kelsey asked, turning around in her saddle.

"Yeah, you're not that stupid," Nickel said sarcastically. "What could you possibly not get?" I shot her a nasty look.

"What I don't get is that the one day I wake up early enough so I can disobey you guys and ride on a horse with Leggy, we all get our own horses!" I sighed. "It's SO not fair."

"Shut up, Mandy," Ernie advised. I glared at him.

"You shut up!" I shouted.

"Oo…great comeback," he said sarcastically. "Whatcha gonna do next? Yell 'boo' to try and scare me?" I stared at him, lower lip trembling.

"Why is everybody picking on me?!" I whined.

"Shut up!" Nickel advised. I scowled, watching Ernie.

"I'm going to ride with Legolas, 'cause he's more sympathizing!" I announced, kicking my horse forward.

"Oh no you don't!" Kelsey shouted behind me. "Not without someone to keep an eye on you!" I rolled my eyes. "And don't roll your eyes at me, young lady!" Geez, could she, like, read my mind? Plus, she's, like, almost a year younger than me and calling me "young lady." The nerve "Yes, Mandy, I can read your mind, I'm younger than you but just a tad bit more mature, and I have a ton of nerve." Drat.

"Okay…" I shut my eyes and thought of my happy place, with a rainbow in the back as an added feature. "What am I thinking of now?"

"Your happy place."

"With—"

"With a rainbow."

"What the—"

"Language Mandy," Nickel advised. I scowled.

"I'M LEAVING!" I shouted back at them, only to hear someone else behind me. "Hi, Kelsey."

"What's the bet Kelsey gets Mandy back here before, say, lunchtime?" I heard Nickel bet. Looking back, I saw Ernie rummaging through his pockets.

"Er…I've got a penny on Kelsey getting Mandy back at dinner."

Nicole's PoV

"OW OW OW!"

"Told you!" I announced happily to Ernie as Kelsey rode up, one of Mandy's ears between her forefinger and thumb.

"Kelsey, why are you being so mean!" Mandy whined, struggling to get out of Kelsey's grip.

"Because you should not be associating with a person who is fictional in our world," she retorted.

"Oh yeah. And you weren't 'associating' yourself with Haldir, were—OW!" Mandy clutched the back of her head. "What was that for?"

"That was for…shut up, Mandy," Kelsey snapped. Suddenly, Mandy sat up tall on her horse.

"I'M FREE!" she cried and rode off. I shrugged and dismounted from my horse. What freaky things, horses…

"Mandy! Come back!" Kelsey ordered, riding after her.

"Okay, I guess I'll just…stay here…" I called, but it was lost among Mandy's whoops and Kelsey's screams…and all the shouting from people they were annoying.

"Nickel?"

"Yes, Gina?"

"Why is Mandy running around on a horse? No, wait. Why is Kelsey chasing Mandy around?"

"Gina, that's a very good…GINA!" I turned around in disbelief. "What the— How did you get here?! Why are you here?! And…" I paused, watching yet another friend who had popped up play with a donkey. "And what the heck is Paco doing here?"

"Oh…um…that's a good question," Gina replied, reaching back to tie her hair. Then she stopped. "Paco! Stop playing with that poor animal!"

"I'm not playing!" he yelped, eyes wide behind Harry Potter-like glasses. "This stupid thing bit me!"

"That stupid thing is how I get money!" some guy yelled.

"Geez! Sorr-y!" Paco shouted back.

"Why are we shouting?" Ernie asked. The guy glared at us, then pulled his animal away from us, grumbling about 'stupid kids.'

"Do you think I could get him from here?" Ernie asked eagerly, drawing his sword and aiming it like he was going to throw it. Gina leapt back.

"Whoa! How'd he get something sharp and shiny?" she asked.

"Don't ask," I advised, then pointed my staff at Ernie, muttering, hopefully, incoherently. Immediately, a fountain of water shot out at him and almost knocked him off the horse.

"Hey!" he gurgled. "Waah ooo fiiiiii oooo-ing?!?!?!?!?!?!"

"Did you get any of that?" Gina asked, horrified.

"Nope." I turned away. "And I don't want to."

"Oh…okay." Gina turned to me. "Now…what the heck? What are you wearing?" I looked down. A brown tunic, brown leggings and a darker brown cloak were the clothes I had slapped on this morning. Now why was she flipping out about…oh, yeah. Right.

"How am I supposed to explain this?" I mussed. "These are normal clothes around here. And in case you didn't know, this isn't home." Gina glanced around.

"Yeah…just maybe I noticed," she replied sarcastically. "I mean, we're obviously not in Kansas anymore." I blinked.

"Kansas?"

"Yeah." I stared at her.

"Gina, we didn't live in Kansas." Now it was Gina's turn to stare. Then she brought her hand up to her forehead.

"Nickel, I was quoting a movie."

"…Okay…"

"'The Wizard of Oz.'" I frowned. Hang on, the wheels are turning…

"Oh, yeah!" It clicked. Gina rolled her eyes at me before noticing something.

"Paco! Stop playing with the animals!"

"I'm—OUCH—not playing!" he squeaked. I glanced over to see some horse leaning over to bite him. Poor Paco.

"Whatever," Gina sighed. "Now, where the heck are we?"

"Probably halfway to Helm's Deep." Gina stared.

"What?"

"You know…Middle-earth." Blank stare. "The Lord of the Rings?" Gina blinked, then—

"Oh!"

Gina's PoV

"Paco!" I dove after the idiot as he tried to steal a rather pretty white horse. "Paco, stop it now!" The old guy on the horse was whacking Paco on the head with a stick.

"Hey! Stop that! Ow! OW!"

"Paco!" Nicole ran over, awkwardly dragging a large stick with her. She pointed it at Paco and muttered something again. Taking the cue from the last time she had that out, I ducked. But I didn't hear any big splash, so I chanced a glance up. Paco was gone. Simply gone. There was no smoke, no glittery cloud, nothing. He was just...gone.

"Sorry, Theoden," Nicole apologized. I stared at her.

"NICOLE!" I shouted. She turned, a smug smile on her face. "WHAT HAPPENED TO PACO?!?!?!?!"

"I sent him back home," she replied simply. "The space time thingy…I don't think it should be messed up." I stared.

"WHAT?!?!"

"Gina, stop shouting." I clamped my mouth shut. "Do you want to hang out with us LotR freaks?"

"I thought I was a LotR freak!" I contradicted. Nicole rolled her eyes.

"You know what? People are going to get confused with too many of us running around." Nicole pointed her stick at me. "Bye, Gina! You'll forgive me later."

"What?!?!" I yelped, but it was too late. Her stick blasted me with wind and a moment later I was sitting in the back of Mrs. Wulf's geometry class with Paco. We stared at each other.

"Okay, what just happened?"

Kelsey's PoV

I rode up to where Nickel stood, enjoying a yelling contest with Gandalf by the looks of it.

"Nickel!"

"Yeah?" I dismounted.

"What was that weird light thingy? Did you do something with your staff?" Gandalf scowled.

"We had some…visitors." I paused, then glared at Nickel.

"Nickel! Did you ruin canon?"

"No…I fixed it!"

"Bad Nickel! Bad…wait, what?"

"Paco was trying to steal some horses," Nickel explained. "I figured we still needed those."

"Who?"

"Paco…and Gina." I frowned. What?

"What?"

"'Sup my peeps?" Mandy asked as she rode up, giggling. "Heehee…peeps. Like the marshmallows…Kelsey, can you get me some Peeps out of your bag?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I—"

"—Said so." Mandy finished. "Nickel?" Nicole pulled out a bag from her bag and tossed them to her. "YAY! Sugar!" My jaw dropped.

"Excuse me—"

"Twit!" Gandalf said sternly. "I need to talk to you about—"

"—About using my staff," she finished. At least I wasn't the only one having their sentences finished for me.

"Yes, actually," Gandalf replied coolly. "Come." And with that he dragged Nickel away as she waved at us happily.

"What was that all about?" Mandy asked, her mouth filled with a Peep.

"Paco and Gina were…apparently…here."

"Oh…where are they?"

"Nickel poofed them away."

"Oh." I mounted up and we rode on, not wanting to be left behind.

"Ya know, we've been going by book verse a lot…you know, like by events and such."

"Yeah…"

"Well, then there shouldn't be any wargs!"

"Uh…then why is Gandalf here?" I paused. For once, our dear Amanda had a point… At that point, Nicole trotted over.

"Well, he's finally gone."

"Who?" Mandy asked.

"Gandalf. To get Erkenbrand—the freak who's in charge here," Nickel quickly answered Mandy's unasked question.

"Oh." Mandy looked around, confusion still etched in her face. "So the wargs won't show up?"

"Yeah…I guess so," I replied…It seems I spoke a bit too soon...

YAY! Big long chappy. Now be happy for a week...maybe two. Btw, Ernie was trying to say "What do you think you're doing?!" I tried that scene out on my sister. I pointed the water hose at her when we were washing the car and that's what it sounded like. Anyway, I'll make sure to type up ASAP guys! But for now, R&R! --Mandi

Hey, y'all! Hope life's treatin' ya well! Another slightly amusing chapter...Just ever so slightly amusing...Haha! But honestly! I've been misrepresented! I'm not that mean at all! Ya hear? AT ALL!
