Chapter 7: Leaving and Shrisha?

Knock-knock-knock. Opening her eyes, Dasha noticed that the sun hadn't yet risen and that Nora was talking with someone next to the door.

"What the fuck? It's still fucking dark outside! Go and talk somewhere else!" there was a slight chuckle, and the door closed.

"Dasha you idiot, that was Legolas, he came to wake us up so that we don't miss the departure? Ring any bells?" Oh shit… was all the blonde had time to think before something cold and wet was spilled on her.

"Ahhhhhh! What! The! Fuck? I was freaking awake already!" she screamed as she sprang out of the bed completely soaking wet. Nora was literally rolling on the floor with a silver water basin next to her. Then Dasha seemingly collected walked into the bathroom. Nora was only beginning to collect herself when all of a sudden her back was met with an onslaught of freezing water. Shrieking herself she jumped nearly ten feet into the air.

"Cold! Cold! Cold! Cold! Cold! Cold! Cold!" she kept on saying as if it were some sort of a spell. It was Dasha turn to laugh now, but before she could even get through the first fit of laughter Nora jumped on her and they began one of their usual catfights. It ended with the two wet girls sitting and laughing hysterically, leaning against one of the beds.

"Haha, well I think we should start getting ready… I don't want to have to catch up to them!" muttered Nora with a hint of indignity in her voice.

"Plus," added Dasha, "They will have a fucking field day saying that we're too weak to go on this journey!" she scoffed pulling on her breeches and boots.

Nora simply nodded slipping on her leather boots. Her outfit looked very elvish: dark brown tight (but surprisingly still comfy) pants were tucked into the boots, and a silver tunic could be seen underneath an olive green, ¾ sleeved, jerkin that reached just slightly below her hips. She had a travelling cloak over her jerkin and double knives (each a little less than 1 meters long) sticking from behind her back. Her hair was tied back into a braid with a silver ribbon. She had a long dagger hidden inside her boot within easy but undetectable reach.

Dasha on the other hand was looking more like a ranger. She wore soft, loose, dark grey, leather boots that reached up to her knees, into which she tucked in the loose, black leather breeches. She wore a thin, grey, linen shirt over which she put on a brown, sleeveless jerkin with strings instead of buttons. It reached her mid-thigh and the strings where tied up almost to the top (it also looked much less elegant then the one Nora was wearing). She then put on a heavy leather duster that reached till her boot clad feet and tied a belt over the top of her jerkin, leaving it underneath the duster. Pure luck I got to wear this? 'Cause I fucking love it! she thought excitedly looking at herself in the mirror and attaching her bow and quiver to her back. She also hid about 10 throwing knives on various places around her body, and another set of 5 strapped over her shoulder onto her back (these visible beneath her bow). I was the one with the target practice after all… she smirked remembering her and Nora's fighting practices back home while strapping on her bow and quiver.

They packed two backpacks with extra clothes making side comments at what the other put in, however Nora failed to notice her friend pack a pipe and a pouch fool of tobacco into her pack, then turned towards the door with their packs slung over their shoulder "Well aren't you looking elvish!" remarked the blonde to her friend with a smirk on her face.

"I do not know what you mean!" said Nora raising her head and failing to hide a smile, "You on the other hand look quite like a ranger! And I love it!" they both squealed for no reasons what-so-ever, then with a second of silence burst out laughing. They entered the clearing were some members were already present and went to lean against one of the columns of an archway.

"I see you two decided to actually come?" Nora turned to see the smiling faces of Merry and Pippin.

"Yes indeed masters Meriadoc and Peregrin!" she said with a grin on her face, "Did you expect anything less?"

"Nay, I knew you would come with us," shrugged Merry.

"Hey Pip!" Dasha interrupted their conversation, "Did you figure out where it is that we are going?" it took all her self control not to burst out laughing at the confused expression on the hobbit's face. Nora however was less amused, she elbowed Dasha in the side making the other girl growl.

"Will you stop with the elbowing! It fucking hurts!"

"I will as soon as you regain your manners and grow up!" hissed the other one back, "Learn to be polite and nice to others Dasha! You are the one crossing the line all the time and frankly, I am fed up!" Dasha stared at her for a second then turned on her heal and went to the other side of the clearing. Way to freaking overreact! What did I do anyways? Thought the blonde as her good mood got dampened by her friend's antics. Fuck it, I'll just let her cool down a tad, she concluded and began inspecting one of her daggers.

The others seemed to slowly arrive and take their place next to the stone archway. Finally Lord Elrond himself strode in and looked out at the 9… er… 11 companions.

"The Ring-bearer is setting out on the Quest of Mount Doom," Boomed Elrond's voice. "On you who travel with him no oath nor bond is laid, to go further than you will. Farewell. Hold to your purpose. May the blessings of Elves and Men and all free folk go with you," at these words Dasha noticed Aragorn glance at Arwen and her lower her gaze sadly, How utterly pathetic… she almost surprised herself with the sarcasm dripping in her mind. Dasha was a fan of the whole Aragorn/Arwen stuff, but detested fluff of any sort. Who can stand all that 'and I felt butterflies in my stomach as his eyes locked on mine'? It is so overrated! Honestly…

She mentally rolled her eyes and after a short realization that everyone was already on the other side of the arch and moving out, she ran after them in what looked like a 'Jack Sparrow' manner (done unintentionally of course).

"Mordor Gandalf! Is it left or right?" she heard Frodo whisper to the old wizard.

"Left," came the gruff reply. Frodo nodded his head in thanks and continued to walk. Somewhere after exiting Rivendell, Gandalf over took Frodo and began to lead them towards Mordor.

"Hey! Gandalf!" he turned to see Dasha running up to him, and acknowledged her with a nod of his head.

"How are we getting there?" she was out of breath from running all the way from the back of the line towards the front, but managed to keep at least some dignity by not falling over. Nora on the other hand was doing much better than her blonde friend, Finally those football practices are paying up! She thought and smirked when she saw her friend (whom she still had not talked to) run past her panting, stumbling, and shouting Gandalf's name.

"Do you not know already?" there was a hint of amusement in his eyes as he answered the blonde.

"Gap of Rohan?"

"I surely hope so, you two could of course tell me what road to take," he left it lingering. Dasha bit her lip and then smirked.

"Not a chance, luv!" she said with that same smirk, Did I just call Gandalf luv? At that thought the smirk fell off her face and she noticed the entire Fellowship staring at her with wide eyes. Shit, I take that as a yes.

"Uh… see, in my country we say that sort of like a nickname?" this came out sounding like a question and the silence got even more awkward. Then all of a sudden Nora burst out laughing.

"Dasha! I knew you liked Allan Rickman! But Ian McKellen?" she said between laughs.

"Hey! It aint my fucking fault that I'm used to saying those stuffs to people! Well ok maybe it is, but- wait… are you talking to me now?" the girl was slightly confused and bewildered and still slightly embarrassed. The male part of the Fellowship decided to ignore the two and buissied themselves by making lunch, or training.

"Hey where'd Pippin run off to?" suddenly asked Dasha looking around.

"Hey look what I found!" came a cry from somewhere in the near distance. The near distance? Does that even exist? Thought Nora looking up from her previous engagement.

"What's up Pip?"

"I found a girl! She's a hobbit but she denies it… Currently she's knocked out though…"

"Pippin, did you really knock out a girl?" asked an amused Dasha.

"No…" the answer was sheepish but held a slight truth to it. Dasha, Nora, Aragorn, and Pippin all head down to see this mysterious girl.

"Nora are you seeing what I'm seeing?" asked Dasha stopping mid-step to look at the black haired "hobbit" in front of them.

"Uh…" was all that the other girl managed to say before the two of them sprinted with the cries of. "SHRISHA!" then abruptly stopped looked at each other and in sync said, "JINX! YOU OWE ME AN ALE!" and promptly fell to the floor laughing. Their laughter seemed enough to wake up the other unconscious girl.

"Where am I?"

"Shrisha, how terribly clichéd of you!" gasped Dasha in mock horror.

"Dasha! Nora! Oh my gosh! I saw this weird guy who like, told me that I'm like this hobbit thing! And then I noticed that he was like the same as the one in one of the videos you two showed me! Uh! Hideous!" all this was said very fast and with wide nearly bulging eyes.

"Chilax dude… seriously, oh and by the way. We're in Middle Earth," Nora said to her friend. The blank stare they received from Shrisha was the one acomnpanied with the cricket noise in the background, and a rare awkward cough: so basically utter silence and not-understanding.

"We're in Lord of the Rings and yes you are a hobbit," explained Dasha with a roll of her eyes as Shrisha promptly fainted. Again.

Hey Guys! Sorry for such a long wait, I had exams and life to take care of... Or just lazy, interpret that however you want :P

IMPORTANT ! IMPORTANT ! IMPORTANT ! IMPORTANT ! IMPORTANT ! IMPORTANT ! IMPORTANT ! IMPORTANT !

Now to the important stuff: Do you people like the idea of another girl in this? Who is utterly uneducated in the Lord of the Rings? Please answer in your Reviews.. It's real imporstant for me! If you don't like the idea of her, then I'll just re-write this chapter with a different ending and no other person.

Oh and if she stays she will be with Pippin... I just wanted a way to hear him sing "Fade" in the Return of the King (Yes this story will actually get the sometime :P)
