It was late at night as Elrond walk into Arwen room to find all three of his children there "Arwen? Oh dearest. What's wrong?" he ask walking over, Elrohir smiled at his father and stood up so he could sit down and walk over to stand by Elladan. Arwen pull herself out of Elladan's arms wiping the tears away "Saruman, has done something terrible" Elrond pull her into his arms, her head resting on his chest "There, there my child, we will set it right. Now tell me everything"
Aragorn lies unconscious on Carpet; Legolas was knelt next to him his hand brushing hair out of his friend face, before gently tapping his cheek
"Aragorn wake up Aragorn." He called, and then the man eyes started to flutter open, Legolas gave a sige of relief and help him slowly sit up. "Mellon are you okay?" Aragorn look at Legolas then raise his hand to his head feeling a sharp.
"Oh, my head" he groaned, look around everything was gone and the entrance was sealed. "We are trapped." He said slowly standing up finally seeing carpet laying on the ground and Legolas leaning against the wall. Aragorn looked at the entrance again with anger "That two faced son-of-a-Orc! We are trapped in here." He walked up to Legolas and stood in front of him. "Whoever he was, he's long gone with that Ring." Legolas cleared his throat.
"Well I would not say that." handing the ring over.
"Why, you little thief!" the human said punched him in the arm playfully.
"Looks like such a beat-up, worthless piece of junk." he said while examining it. "Hey, I think there's something written here, but it's hard to make out." rubbing the Ring to see if he could read what it said The ring started to glow which got brighter and brighter smoke started to come out from it. Suddenly a man came out of the lamp. He was dressed in Grey robes with a long hat and staff
"Aaaaahhhhh! OY! Ten-thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck!" the old man said looking at the man and elf.
Pulling out his pipe, lighting it, before slowly walking around the two puffing away, his eyes looking over every inch of them, coming full circle and standing in front of them "So what are your names" he ask
"I am Aragorn son of Arathorn and this is Legolas of the woodland realm, who are you?"
The Old man looks at him hurt and angry putting his pipe away, learning on his staff
"You do not know of me? I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me"
Aragorn and Legolas look at each other then back at the man in front of them, as he continued
"You are a lot younger then the last master of the ring, or either I am getting older, what do you think?"
"What a minute I am your master?"
"That's right! He can be taught! Gandalf Wizard of the Ring! Right here direct from the Ring, right here for your enjoyment wish fulfilment. Thank you!"
"Whoa! Wish fulfilments?" Aragorn ask
"Three wishes to be exact. And ix-nay on the wishing for more wishes." Gandalf said holding up three fingers "That's it-three. No substitutions, exchanges or refunds."
"Now I know I'm crazy." Aragorn told Legolas. Who in turn nodded his head.
"Master Aragorn, I don't think you quite realize what you've got here! So why don't you just ruminate, whilst I illuminate the possibilities." Gandalf said rising his staff as it started to glow
Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scheherazadie had a thousand tales
But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeve
You got a brand of magic never fails!
Gandalf produces 40 thieves who surround Aragorn with swords .Gandalf appears to him, then with a swing of his staff sending the thieves into submission.
You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp
You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how
See all you gotta do is rub that ring
And I'll say
Boxing ring appears, Aragorn in the corner, being massaged by Gandalf. Then Gandalf lets of fireworks. Gandalf disappears then a hand grabs Aragorn's hand and rubs Ring with it.
Mister Aragorn sir
What will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order, jot it down
You ain't never had a friend like me
No no no!
Gandalf produces a table and chairs, and then writes down things on a note pad, like a waiter.
Life is your restaurant
And I'm your maitre' d!
C'mon whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me.
Gandalf appears next to Aragorn cupping his hand around his ear leaning in to listen to what he had to say. Finally, he explodes into four duplicate Gandalf.
Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service
You're the boss, the king, the shah!
Say what you wish, it's yours! True dish
How about a little more Baklava?
The Gandalf give him clean cloths, brush his hair, then Aragorn appears in a comfy chair surrounded by the treasure and being fanned by women.
Try some of column 'A'
Try all of column 'B'
I'm in the mood to help you dude
You ain't never had a friend like me
Aragorn rises up on a column of food with a giant A on top, then jumps to another column with a B on top. He falls off and is caught by a cushion held by Gandalf. He makes a staircase appear with Gandalf started to walk down
Can your friends do this?
Do your friends do that?
Do your friends pull this out their little hat
Can your friends go poof!
Well looky here
Can your friends go Abracadabra, let 'er rip
And then make the sucker disappear?
Gandalf duplicates his staff, and then juggles them. He tosses them to Aragorn, who juggles with one hand and spins one of the staff on his fingertip. He tosses the staff back to Gandalf, who precedes three girls, who dance around Aragorn. Just as he begins to enjoy them, they disappear.
So don't you sit there slack jawed, buggy eyed
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide, certified
You got a wizard for a charg? d'affairs!
I got a powerful urge to help you out
So what you wish I really want to know
You got a wish that's three miles long, no doubt
So all you gotta do is rub like so, and oh!
Gandalf imitates what he is calling Aragorn, and then a scroll appears in the wizard's hand which rolls up and surrounds Aragorn. Gandalf pulls a list out of Aragorn's ear.
Mister Aragorn, sir, have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never...had a... friend... like...me!
You ain't never had a friend like me!
Three dancing girls reappear, and Aragorn leans in to kiss one. She disappears and Gandalf takes her place by the man, and then with his staff zaps four dancing elf girls into existence. To the other direction, he zaps in four dancing human girls, and a grand finale dancing number ensues. Gandalf wraps everything up in a cyclone and zaps it away until they're all back in the cave. Carpet starts to clap while Legolas and Aragorn are stunned. "So what'll it be, Lord Aragorn?"
"You are going to grant me any three wishes I want?"
"Ah, almost there are a few provisos, a couple of quid pro quos." he told them.
"Like" Legolas asked.
"Ah, rule number one! I can't kill anybody." Gandalf use his staff and hit Legolas on the head "So don't ask. Rule two! I can't make anyone fall in love with anyone else." "Rule three: I can't bring people back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture, other than that, you got it"
Aragorn looks at the wizard then looks at his friend, who was leaning against the wall and wink at him
"Ah, provisos? You mean limitations? On wishes? Some all powerful Wizard can't even bring people back from the dead. I don't know, Las. He probably can't even get us out of this cave. Looks like we're gonna have to find a way out of here ourselves" they start to leave but a staff slams into Aragorn chest.
"Excuse me? Are you looking at me? Did you rub my Ring? Did you wake me up, did you bring me here? And all of a sudden, you're walking out on me? I don't think so, not right now. You're getting your wishes, so sit-down!" the man and elf sat on Carpet as Gandalf sit in front. "In case of emergency, the exits are here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, anywhere! Keep your hands and arms inside the carpet. Weeee'rrrrrreee...outta here!" flying out of the cave into the mountains
