AN. This was just a random idea that came up when I was watching Return of the King with some friends that I had to write. Enjoy :)
"We're almost there Mr. Frodo." Sam said. "Come on. We need to keep going."
They continued struggling up the side of Mount Doom until Frodo collapsed.
"If I can't carry the ring for you Mr. Frodo, then I'll do the next best thing by carrying you." Sam said as he picked Frodo up after trying to motivate him to keep going with thoughts of home.
"Look. It's the entrance. We can finally get rid of that blasted ring." Sam said as the Shrine built into Mount Doom appeared. Sam kept climbing with Frodo on his back until they reached it. Once inside, Frodo and Sam looked at each other.
"Ready to get this over with?" Sam asked.
"Definitely." Frodo replied, then threw the ring into the flowing river of lava beneath them.
As they watched the ring melt in the lava, a man in a fancy tuxedo burst through the entrance of the Shrine behind them. "That was my wedding ring you idiots!" He was yelling. "You owe me a new one, and what the heck are you doing throwing my wedding ring into a volcano anyway!?"
Frodo and Sam just stood there staring at him like he was crazy. Finally Sam unfroze and asked, completely confused, "How the heck did you get up here, especially without a speck of dust on that white shirt?"
"Why would I have dirt on my shirt?" The man asked, also confused.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe because we are in the middle of an active volcano in the middle of the most evil place in Middle Earth?" Sam answered sarcastically.
Frodo finally unfroze and asked "And what do you mean your wedding ring? That was the Ring of Power. You know, the one ring to rule them all? Forged here in the heart of Mount Doom by Sauron to be able to control all the other rings of power? You must of heard of it."
"Oh. Is that why it's so hot in here? And that ring wasn't forged in the heart of a mountain… It was made by Kay Jewelers…" The man said.
"Then what the heck happened to the One Ring? And you still never answered how you got up the side of an active volcano in the middle of Mordor without a single speck of dirt getting on your shirt." Sam said.
"I don't know about your so called 'One Ring', but you still owe me a wedding ring."
