We're Back
****
"Good morning my lovelies!"
Merry and Pippin groaned as Esmerelda entered the room smiling and as happy as an elf with a hairbrush.
"Alright spit it out Es."
Merry narrowed his eyes at her.
"What?"
Esmerelda blinked in confusion.
"Anytime you call us "lovelies" is when you want something from us so you might as well spit it out."
"Well before you so rudely started accusing me of wanting something from you I was just going to say that we have been invited to a social gathering in Imladris."
"What?"
Pippin asked scratching his head.
"We've been invited to a party in Rivendell."
Both Merry and Pippin jumped to their feet giving excited shouts of excitement.
"There's one teeny tiny problemo though."
Esmerelda added rubbing the back of her neck nervously.
"What kind of problem?"
Pippin asked.
"Well... Bilbo has been teaching me how to break the fourth wall lately."
Merry and Pippin gasped.
"And it turns out that this harmless "party" is actually going to be the start of a chain of events that is going to effect a LOT of people."
"Seriously? We've been without events that effect us personally for almost...."
Merry trailed off as he tried to recall how long it had been since their last "life effecting event"
"Four years."
"Actually in our time it's been four years but really it's only been four months in Reality."
The three hobbits turned towards Bilbo who had just entered the room with Frodo and Sam.
"What's ree-al-i-tee?"
Pippin asked.
Bilbo just shook his head.
"You don't want to know."
"In other words you don't feel like explaining it."
Frodo said rolling his eyes.
Es however looked pleadingly at Bilbo.
"Please teach me the secrets of ree-al-i-tee."
Bilbo chuckled.
"You're just a level one Fourth Wall Breaker (FWB) Esmerelda. You'll have to wait until you're at the max level to learn about Reality."
"How many levels are there?"
Sam asked out of curiosity.
"Five."
"That's not too bad."
"Hundred."
"Huh?"
"There's five hundred levels."
Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin gagged while Es sighed dejectedly.
"Oh well, at least at level one I an tell that this story is going to have a more stable plot than the last one."
"What story?"
Pippin asked.
Bibo and Es snickered.
"Poor them, they still don't get that they are in a story."
Bilbo chuckled.
"Exscuse us uncle. But we all happen to know that we are all fictional characters."*
Frodo stated matter-of-factly.
"Do you know what that means?"
Bilbo asked.
Frodo's smirk faded.
"No..."
Bilbo nodded in a way that said,
"We're done here."
By now Merry had remembered what Es had said earlier and decided to bring the topic back up.
"So are we going to that part in Rivendell or what?"
"Of course we're going! All of our friends are going to be there!"
Frodo said.
"And some new ones."
Bilbo added.
"Ok uncle, I love you, you mean so much to me and I'm glad that you adopted me and gave me an evil ring that turned me into a jerk and I had to go on a long exausting journey to Mordor to destroy it, but please stop wall breaking or whatever is!"
Bilbo huffed.
"Fine. Guess I won't tell you what happens at the end of this chapter."
"GET OUT!"
All four hobbits shouted pointing at the door.
Bilbo stormed out of the room while Es started munching on a bag of Goldfish crackers.
"So are we going to River Dell or what?"
She asked.
"Sure why not?"
Pippin shrugged.
"Let's go."
Frodo led the way out of the Bag-End and they walked single file through the crowded streets of Hobbiton.
They didn't notice a young hobbit trailing them. With a look of pure mischief on her face. She waited until they were just leaving the Shire to jump out and surprise them.
"HEY GUYS!"
All the hobbits (minus Pippin who had fallen behind earlier) screamed and Frodo punched Sam in the face.
"OW! What was that for?!"
Sam asked rubbing his injured face.
"Sorry, knee-jerk response."
Frodo replied sheepishly.
"Believe it or not I have a knee-jerk response for everything."
"Ahem. Random hobbit, just showed up out of no- oh my Gondor Bilbo was right."
Es said nearly dropping her bag of Goldfish.
Pippin finally caught up with the others (he had been busy watching a butterfly) he recognized the newcomer and smiled brightly.
"Hey Jayden! Where have you been? It feels like we haven't seen you in ages."
Jayden laughed and tucked a loose strand of her curly brown hair behind her ear.
"I've been hanging out with a new friend of mine! Would you like to meet her?"
Two new characters?!
Es was starting to flip out.
Who else is going to be introduced in this chapter?
Her level one experience as a FWB was not able to handle these sudden events.
Jayden meanwhile was calling to someone who appeared to be hiding in the bushes.
"Jenrail! Get out here!"
"No! I don't want to."
"Oh come on Jen! You can't hide in those bushes forever!"
"Something waiting in the bushes of love."**
Pippin started singing.
"What?"
Merry asked giving him a "you're crazy" look.
"It's nothing you'd understand."
He replied.
Finally Jayden managed to convince Jenrail to come out of the bushes and a hobbit with long curly brown hair (cause it's impossible for girl hobbits to have any other hair color besides brown, I mean even Es has brown hair) and a large light blue hair bow that macthed her blue dress.
"Hi."
She said quietly while she waved nervously.
"I'm Jenrail SackvilleBaggins."
Frodo spit out his water (well he would have if he had any) and looked at Jenrail in horror.
"You're a SackvilleBaggins?!"
"I'm not a jerk I promise."
"How am I expected to believe you? You probably stole my uncle's spoons."
Jenrail sighed and shook her head while Jayden glared at him.
"Just because she's a SackvilleBaggins doesn't mean that she's a thief."
Frodo continued to narrow his eyes at Jenrail.
"I've got my eye on you."
"So anyway, where are you guys headed?"
Jayden asked.
"We're headed to Rivendell for a party."
Merry replied.
"Ooh! I love parties! Can I come plllllleeeeeaaaaassssssseeeeeee?"
Frodo glanced at Sam, who glanced at Merry who glanced at Pippin who was staring wide-eyed at a ladybug flying overhead.
Es however was studying Jenrail and Jayden and was trying to decide if they would end up being essential to the plot or not.
"I don't see why not."
Frodo started.
"But there's going to be a lot of people there and I wouldn't want you two getting left out or anything."
"I won't get left out! I love people and people love me! I'm cute! And I love bread!"
Jayden pulled out a loaf of bread and stared at it lovingly.
"Ooooooooohhhhhhh bread...."
Frodo stepped behind Sam while Pippin decided to stop watching the ladybug.
"Sure you and Jenrail can come if you want to."
"Yes!"
Jayden leapt into the air (still holding her bread) and proceeded to thank them repeatedly.
"Um... I don't think I want to go."
Jenrail said tracing a circle in the grass with her feet.
"I'm too shy."
"Good. I don't want a SackvilleBaggins tagging along with us anyway."
Frodo said sticking his face up in the air.
Merry elbowed him in the ribs.
Jenrail sighed as the hobbits began to leave for Rivendell once again. As Es passed her she leaned over and whispered,
"Don't worry, you're going to have a big part to play in this story."
Jenrail looked at her in confusion but before she could ask any questions Es had stuffed the last of her Goldfish into her mouth, tossed the bag over her shoulder, and was running to catch up to the others.
I think she might be crazy.
Just as Jenrail was turning to head back to her home she came face-to-face with a strange hobbit cloaked in blue.
"Uh... Can I help you?"
Jenrail asked slightly backing away.
"I'm looking for some hobbits. Have you seen them?"
The mysterious cloaked hobbit asked.
"You may want to be more specific."
There were a LOT of hobbits in the Shire after all.
"Some hobbits being led by Frodo Baggins. Have they passed this way?"
"Yeah, you can still see them actually."
Jenrail pointed towards a hill where Pippin was standing watching a butterfly and a ladybug only to be dragged away by Merry.
"Oh. Uh, thanks."
The cloaked hobbit started after them.
"Why exactly do you need them?"
Jenrail asked louder than she had meant to.
The cloaked hobbit stopped and turned back around.
"Because once they reach Rivendell a chain of events is going to be started that will effect a LOT of people. And not in a good way."
The cloaked figure started after them again and Jenrail, not knowing why, followed.
"Are you going to stop them?"
She asked curiously.
"If I stopped them the story would end and there'd be no reason for this story."
Jenrail understood none of that.
"So if you're not going to stop them then why are you following them?"
"So that whenever the chain of events starts I can be there to get the chosen characters started on their respective story arcs."
Does anything you say make since?
"And you should probably come along too."
The cloaked hobbit added.
"Why?"
"Because as Esmerelda said earlier you're going to have a big part in this story whether you want to or not."
I am so confused....
"That's right."
The cloaked hobbit said grinning from under her hood.
"You're stuck as one of the new main characters."
Jenrail decided to stop asking questions for the time being. Except for one more.
"What's your name?"
"Amaera."
She replied.
"And that's all you need to know for now."
****
*In the first book Frodo and several others (you'll find out who they are later) were told by The Doctor that they were fictional. None of them really understood what he meant but they decided to just go along with it.
**This song is Bushes of Love from Bad Lip Reading's bad lip reading of Star Wars A New Hope.
Well that was the first chapter! As I- er...
Esmerelda said this story is going to be a bit more constructive than the first one.
DON'T PANIC IT'S STILL GOING TO BE FUNNY AND NO ONE IS GOING TO DIE.
well maybe
Anywho obviously everyone hasn't been introduced yet but don't worry!
All things come in time.
So let me know what you think and I'll see you all in the next chapter.
Right this a book so I won't be able to see anyone.
