Sightseeing on Earth
(The sequel to Vacationing in Middle Earth)

Author's Notes: So many people took the time to review and left me such wonderful reviews that I decided to write a sequel. I'd never planned to. In fact I never really planned on posting Vacationing but after a posted a Kenshin one shot for a friend and got such good reviews I thought it might be fun. And it was. It really really was. ^___^
So here's the sequel. I'm not really sure where this is going to go. I'm pretty much playing it by ear. If you have ideas, comments, or just something you'd like to see in this fic leave me a nice review with your ideas and I'll see what I can do. ^___^
Also to Spazjoslyn, I told everyone that if I got over a hundred reviews I would give the 100th person a price in thanks for their support. So Spazjoslyn, you were number 100. You get a prize. If you want me to write you something just email me and let's see what I can do.
On with the first chapter of my very first sequel!!!

Chapter One: And So Begins Another Day
Shawn clicked on the Internet icon, a bored look on her face. Next to her, Jo tilted her chair backward, chewing on the cap of her pen. It had been two weeks since their adventures in Middle Earth and high school life was nothing compared to what they had been through.
"Wanna play Qbeez?" Shawn asked, her voice monotone.
"Sure," Jo sighed. "Why not."
Shawn clicked on the link and then let her head slid onto the table to wait for the game to load. "Where's Mrs. Havelka anyway? Class started ten minutes ago."
"Does it make a difference?" Jo asked, letting her head loll onto the back of her chair.
"Not really."
The classroom door opened and the students suddenly started talking among themselves in quick, excited voices.
"Sorry I'm so late," an oddly familiar voice said. "I got lost in the halls. Mrs. Havelka won't be here today. I am your substitute."
"Is that?" Jo whispered to herself and looked up.
The substitute was a young man with long pale blonde hair pulled back into a casual ponytail at the nape of his neck. A pair of small black headphones rested against his shoulders. A small, black, familiar MP3 player was cradled in his hands. He walked to the front of the class and put down a tattered, familiar bag down on the floor next to him.
"I'm not sure how long your teacher will be out so I might be with you for quite sometime," he said with a shy grin. There was a murmur of appreciated from the female students. "I'm sure we'll get to know each other." He looked over at Shawn and Jo and gave them a wink before turning back to the class. "So, can anyone tell me what you've been up to lately?"
"It can't be," Jo mumbled.
"Its Haldir!" Shawn squealed.
*********
Jo grabbed Shawn and held her back against her chair.
"Lemme go! I want Haldir!"
"Yeah. We all know but not right now."
"And why not?"
"Well, partially because we're back home and there are laws against that kinda thing. Second, I think we're going to be in allot of trouble really soon."
"How come?"
"First of all he shouldn't be here. If our presence in his world threatened to destroy it his in ours will probably do the same thing. Second of all if he's here Gandalf might be too."
"I say we run and hide. Quickly. With Haldir."
"Lets just wait 'til the end of class. Then we can talk to him alone."
A broad smile broke out on Shawn's face and then disappeared. "You're gonna be there too huh?"
Jo ignored her comment and sank back into her chair. "It pretty much looks like he knows what he's doing. He's hiding his ears and all. I wonder how long he's been here and how he got here."
"He's got the Riot. It must have something to do with that," Shawn said sagely. "The link between our world and his."
"But if the Riot is here how is he going to get back?"
"Dunno."
"What are you guys whispering about?" Lucas asked, leaning over to look at Shawn's computer screen.
"Nothing!" they answered in unison.
"Just ogling pictures of David Beckham," Shawn said casually.
Lucas nodded and turned back to his computer.
"That was close," Shawn chuckled.
"No kidding. We gotta be careful about what we say."
"What?!"
"We can't let anyone know where he's from."
"Have to be careful there. Have to be careful here. All rules and no groping!"
"Lower your voice," Jo hissed, glancing at the classmates who were giving them odd looks. "You wanna get us in trouble? Again?"
"This one is hardly my fault. I didn't do anything."
"Who's Riot got left behind?"
"It was an accident."
"If I recall correctly you said opening the closet door and getting us blasted into Middle Earth in the first place was an accident as well."
Shawn shrugged and turned to moon over Haldir.
Jo rolled her eyes and turned back to her computer but she didn't even glance at the screen. 'Oh crap we're in trouble. What do they do in fanfics when this kinda stuff happens? I have to have read one like this before. Come on! Think!'
After several moments of intense thought the only thing that she came up with was a slight headache and the vague need to pee.
She joined Shawn in watching Haldir. He moved lithely among the rows of tables and computers, stopping to talk quietly with a student every so often. His gaze often wandered back to them though and he would wink slyly.
"He's so hot!" Shawn squealed. "Got my souvenir after all!"
The bell rang and Jo grabbed Shawn before she could sprint across the room.
"But you said!" Shawn whined.
"Act natural," Jo said under her breath as she gathered her school bag.
"Bye Jo! Bye Shawn!" Lucas called.
"Bye!" the girls called, following him out the door.
They doubled back and ran back into the computer lab. Haldir was sitting on the teacher's desk, waiting for them.
"Hello miladies," he greeted as Shawn wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly. "Empty and strangely quiet have my days been since you left."
"Not that I'm not happy to see you or anything like that but what are you doing here?" Jo asked.
"Leave Haldir-pookums alone."
"It was quite by accident that I came to be here. I picked up this music box to show it to the others and suddenly we were here?"
"We?"
"Yes. Myself, Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf, and the two hobbits."
Jo's eyes almost popped out of her head. "You're all here? Where? How long?"
"We arrived just this morning. We found a change of clothing and tracked you girls here. We hope that you can provide us with lodgings."
"Come stay with me! At my house! In my room!"
"Down Shawn," Jo mumbled. "Oh crap. We're in trouble again."
"If trouble is this sexy then bring trouble on!"
*********
So there's the first chapter. Hope you like it. Don't think its very good myself. It kinda sucks. Oh well. Its just the first one. I'm sure I'll go better later one. Please read and review cause I still have plagues.
