A/N I love D.C.!! He came home and I was so close to going to the baseball game and the free concert and all that stuff, but I didn't get to see him and I'm frickin' mad and upset and I'm going to go cry in a corner because the amazingness that is MY David Cook got away! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!Okay, so maybe I'm overexaggerating a TEENSY little bit. Anyways, sorry for the long wait, Sarah and I worked uber hard on this one, it's exellent, hope you enjoy, still don't own Eragon or really anything associated with it, Charlie the Unicorn, American Idol, youtube, various music pieces/songs/artists (including Avenue Q and David Cook although I wish I did!), et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

The Minds of Teenage Girls

The small company in the shadows of the humungous mountain range woke up right before dawn and quickly packed up their camp, and ate a hurried breakfast from atop their horses, or ATVs, in the case of the three girls. The urgals were still in pursuit and so they were going full speed. At least, the guys were.

"C'mon, pansies! You can go faster than that!" Sarah jeered.

"Yeah, I thought you were trying to stay out of reach of the big scary mosters!" Amber agreed.

"Shut up! These aren't magical, so they will have to do! Turn around and scout ahead. Do something useful for a change, why don't you?" Stacey yelled back, highly frustrated.

"Oof!" Sarah had fallen off the dang ATV. The machine quickly bacame out of sight amongst the dunes, headed straight for a quickly approaching and momentarily forgotten about army of bad guys.

Suddenly they were among big green things, commonly known as trees and bushes. Sarah was currently riding on the back of Rose's ATV, until they all dismounted their various 'steeds' and continued to make their way on foot, because the two 'big, manly men' didn't trust the girls to retreive a tool that could get them through quicker than how fast they were going. Instead they ran, because the three of them knew what was going to happen next, so they let it play out in front of them.

"Got any suggestions?" Erry yelled.

"Just pretend we aren't here! You have to do this the way you would if we weren't here!" Rose cried back.

"But you are here, and now you have to help us out!" Stacey stated, annoyance creeping up at the arguement and lack of descision. Now that they'd finally stopped arguing about the slavers they were going on about this!

"Well, if we do, it will mess everything up! WE want to continue the story!" An uncharacteristically serious Amber nearly screamed. Stacey just stared. He'd never heard her say something so serious before.

The shock didn't last long. The boys finally got to thinking, and finally made it to the Varden.

"Ooh! Hi Orik!" Sarah said to the dwarf standing next to Erry. Then her eyes wandered to a few more feet in front of Eragon, to where her beloved Stacey was being guarded by one of the twins. That turned her look of glee to one of pure loathing. "I hate you, you know."

"It would do you well to stop talking."

"Whatever. What if I don't feel like not talking?"

"Shut up! Or he will die!"

"Fine." Sarah said. Then in a much quieter voice, "Barzul." Rose looked at her, shocked. Sarah had made a point to always cuss in English, so as not to alarm the characters. Orik also looked at her oddly. Where had this girl learned the dwarves' language?

"You must be tested." The Bald One spoke with the utmost authority.

"Yeah, yeah, we know. Start with him first." Amber interjected, pointing at Erry.

"You will NOT interrupt me!" The Bald One angrily said.

"'Kay."

He turned towards Erry. As the girls waited in silence, Amber decided to look around and see if she could spot anything familiar. This place looked nothing like she had thought it would. She briefly wondered what her family was doing at the moment. The flow of words brought her back to where she was.

"Well, is he to be trused or not?"

"He... is not your enemy." As the sighs broke out throughout the room, The Bald One turned towards Sarah. "Your turn." he sneered, confident.

"Alrighty then!" She cheerfully spoke, then concentrated carefully on an ipod blaring 'The Inernet Is For Porn'.

The Bald One balked at the music and decided that he didn't really want to know Sarah's mind. "In order to determine if you are our enemy or not, I must first examine your friends' minds." At this, a dwarf came up and held Sarah to ensure that she wouldn't run off, similar to the way Stacey was being held. The Bald One turned to Rose.

She nodded, and he came into her mind, only to find that she was concentrating on a yaoi manga she'd brought along and had been reading earlier. The page was particularly offensive, and so he quickly exited her mind and turned to Amber.

"It seems that it is your turn." She smiled innocently and sang along to David Cook singing 'Innocent' in her mind as she watched the performance. The Bald One decided (and it was a good decision) to exit her mind as well.

"Well? Are they trustworthy?" Orik asked anxiously.

"I cannot determine that. They must be locked in a room until further notice."

"Aw, crap. That kinda sucks huh?" Sarah said sarcastically. None of them had been expecting anything else. "Oh, and The Bald One, if you want to listen to more of that song..."

"Yeah, I've got the manga with me if that one page was confusing and you want to read the whole story!" Rose chirped.

"Mmhmm, I've got my ipod with me and you can listen to all of his songs if you'd like!" Amber said, smiling once again.

The Bald One ignored them and started dealing with the stubborn Stacey.

After finally coming to the conclusion that he was not going to submit, the five of them, along with Saphira, were locked up in this dongeon - looking room. They hated it, but the girls made themselves comfortabe (with the help of a comfy couch, plasma TV, and this week's episode of Death Note) and settled in for the long night. Tomorrow, they knew, was going to be difficult.

A/N Sorry again for the long wait, and please review!
