A/N: Avast! Thanks to all you who reviewed the final part of part 1 and the 9th Anniversary Special. I can't believe it's actually been that long.

Alas, 9 months is too short a time to bring laughter to such amiable and excellent Hobbits…I mean reviewers… Sorry, all I did today was sit around and watch FotR, so that's where the little Bilbo quote comes from.

All righty, here we are with Part 2, chapter 1! Oh, and A Plot Twist, a.k.a. Twisty, you are hereby Gandalf's bodyguard! Sorry it took me so freaking long but I was reading my reviews (I know, I'm shallow…) and I saw this so cheers!


Chapter One: A New Beginning…

And so it was that the group made the trek from, oh, I dunno, Cincinnati to Chicago: The Windy City, Home of the Sox and the Cubs, and those losers that most people call the Bears. But that's beyond the point….

"I have a lovely bunch of coconuts, deedly dee dee there they are a-standing in a row! Big one small ones some as big as your head!" Mary and Faramir sing, driving along at a very unsafe speed.

"One more time!" Faramir screams.

"I have a lovely bunch of coconuts, deedly dee dee there they are a-standing in a row! Big one small ones some as big as your head!"

"I think we should stop." Mary suggests.

"Good idea."

"Look! APPLES!" Mary screams, veering off the road into an apple orchard.

"Mary! Those aren't free!" Faramir says, aghast.

"Too bad. If you're in my car, you're going to have to play by my rules: Anything that no one has an ownership claim to is public property, and anything public can be shared by all, and all means me!" Mary says gleefully.

"MARY! STOP!" Faramir screams, grabbing the steering wheel. He puts his foot on the break and stops the car.

"Ok, Mary. This is it! OUT!" Faramir says, very strictly and in a commanding voice.

"What? You can't just abandon me on the side of the road! I'll die! And then there won't be any more story! "

"NO! You are sitting in the passenger seat from now on! You're too reckless a driver and are going to get us all killed one day." Faramir says. The two get out of the car and switch seats, Mary weeping silently.

"Please, Mary, I'm sorry, but I really don't want to see you wind up in jail." Faramir says caringly, giving Mary the puppy dog eyes.

"Damn it, you know I can't say no to the puppy dog eyes." Mary says.

"Yeah, whatever… Can you drive faster?" Mary asks.

"Mary, please, I'm already going 5 miles above the 55 mile speed limit. What, you want me to go 20?" Faramir asks.

"Yeah." Mary says.

"Well, fine, I'm going 10 miles over. Happy?"

"No."

"Hoy, some of us are trying to SLEEP back here!" Elrond says.

"Oh, shut up!" Mary says, punching Elrond in the stomach.

"OUCH!"

"Just be thankful it wasn't your—"

"Mary!" Faramir screams.

With Denethor and his friends…

"Once we get in that city, I'm killing Mary. Do you hear! KILLING HER!" Denethor screams.

"Denethor, love, calm down before you get appendicitis!" Orliey screams.

"Sorry. Now, let's all listen to music or something…" Denethor puts in The Fellowship of the Rings soundtrack.

"May it beeee and eeeeeeveeeeening staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar shines down upon youuuuuuuuuuu!" Frodo sings.

"BEEEEEEEEELIEEEEEEEEEVEEEEE AND YOUUUUUUUU WILL FIND A WAAAAAAAAAAAY!" Gimli sings from the trunk.

Ok, because Denethor has crammed so freakin' many people into his car, this is how you're all sitting: Gimli and Alekey are in the trunk (Yes you got out of the pool room), Tina, Frodo, hotdogfish and Celeborn are all jammed into the back seat (let's say it holds 4..), Boromir and Breck are in the middle because Denethor's weird and favors his older son, Orliey is in the front passenger and Denethor is driving.

"GIMLI! You are short, stupid and TONE DEAF! SHUT UP!" Denethor screams.

"He's not stupid, you insensitive old fart!" Alekey screams.

"WHAT?" Denethor screams.

"YOU'RE AN OLD FART!" Alekey screams, throwing a Super Bouncy Ball at Denethor from the trunk (good shot!).

"ACK! I'm under fire!" Denethor screams, sinking down in his seat.

"BOMS AWAY!" Gimli screams, throwing some socks (old, dirty, moldy smelly socks) at Denethor.

"Eep! They smell!" Denethor wails.

5 hours later, right outside Chicago…

"Hey! Get moving!" Denethor says, blaring his horn at the person in front of him.

"DENETHOR! There's NOWHERE for that person to GO!" Boromir screams.

"SHUT UP!" Denethor screams. He pulls out of the lane and into the shoulder (The side of the road-ish thing).

"DENETHOR!" Everyone screams as Denethor goes hurtling down the road.

With Mary, Faramir, and Elrond…

"ELROND! ELROND!" Mary screams, punching Elrond in the arm.

"Huh? Wha?" Elrond asks.

"WAKE UP, FOOL! We're in CHICAGO!" Faramir says.

"Oooh! They have good pizza here!"


A/N: All right! In the next installment, we'll get to our hotel and go do some stuff in Chicago! Enjoy part two! As always, review!
