Sam was doing sentry duty, but slowly as the night had crept by he had lain down and slept beside his companions. He sighed, unaware of travesty about to occur. If he had been aware he would have woken his friends and they would have gone running the hills.
While the Fellowship around the camp fire was sleeping, a dark power was at work.
While Frodo Baggins slept the Ring began to stir and pulse with the power of evil. Like an dark fog it flowed through the Ringbearer and out into the nine companions around him, changing everyone it touched.
It curled around the forms of men and elves alike working a foul plan on all of them. Now they would be unable to carry out the quest. Because surely the Fellowship couldn't travel Middle earth if they were all women.

Gandalf was the first to wake up that terrible day. He had slept rather well even if they were camping on the side of a mountain
His sleep fogged mind didn't register the fact he was suddenly beardless. He rolled to his side and lazily looked at the sleeping lumps that were the rest of the Fellowship. The four small bumps that showed the hobbits bundled together brought a smile to the wizard's face.
The three blond heads were broken by the brown curls of Frodo, who lay with his head pillowed on his arm. A snort from one of the men made Gandalf glance to where Boromir lay sleeping.
Boromir always slept on his stomach and now he had his head buried in the crook of his arm. His long red hair curled around his sweetly rounded face and…
Wait just a darn second! Gandalf sat up and rubbed his eyes. Surely…surely that wasn't Boromir! That was a woman!
Just then the 'woman' yawned and stretched slipping out from under her blanket a little, revealing a very feminine form under the suddenly overly big and roomy leather tunic and jerkin. Confound it! They hadn't brought any woman on this quest!
"Boromir!' Gandalf shouted. The red haired woman snapped awake and reached for her sword. She tried to stand, but tripped on his blanket falling with a thump in front of Aragorn.
"Ouch!" she cried, and all the Fellowship snapped awake all of them scrambling for their weapons. But they all stopped and looked at each other with horror, then at themselves and then back at each other.
"What …what devilry is this!" 'Boromir' squealed!
She clapped a hand over her mouth in shock. She looked screamed again when she saw her white womanly hands. She stood and backed away from Aragorn and tripped over Legolas. The beautiful blond elleth screamed and jumped away from the others while Gimli bellowed fearfully.
The four curly haired hobbit…lasses, the tall dark haired woman wearing Aragorn's clothes, and the kindly looking white haired woman. They all pointed at each other.
"You're a woman!" they all screamed.
