An Unlikely Love

Rogue sighed as she leant against the wall. 'Ah should never have agreed to this,' she grimaced. She let out another sigh as she watched Forge and Beast set up the equipment opposite her. She'd agreed to be the guinea pig for the experiment. According to Forge, it would teleport her to another part of the mansion for a few minutes then bring her back. He said that it was completely harmless but Rogue was beginning to have doubts.

"Almost ready Rogue!" Forge said excitingly.

Rogue just rolled her eyes. 'Man if that guy gets any more excited, he'll be bouncing off the walls.'

"Frodo! Look Out!"

Frodo began to panic as the Ringwraiths began to close in around him. He stumbled backwards as they moved closer, trying to trap him.

"Strider!" Sam hollered.

Merry and Pippin were staring at the Ringwraiths in horror. When they received no reply from Strider they gave each other a look and threw themselves at the Ringwraiths swords first. Sam looked at them in surprise as they fought. Once he got over the shock he quickly followed them in to action.

"Hang on Mr. Frodo! We're coming!"

"You ready Rogue?"

"Yeah, ah'm ready."

"Now remember Rogue," Hank said, "It'll only be a few minutes but we'll try and give you as long as we can just to make sure it works properly and there's no side affects."

Rogue nodded as she prepared herself. Forge stepped up to the control panel and entered something in to the panel. Rogue shut her eyes and tried to ignorethe butterflies that were in her stomach.

"Ready in 3 2 1..."

Forge counting down was the last thing Rogue heard as she felt herself being thrown forward. The next thing she knew, she was lying on solid rock and a strange man with a sword was running towards black figures.

Strider ran towards the wraithsbut his attention was suddenly diverted. A woman had appeared out of nowhere and was watching the scene with an expression of horror.

Rogue stood horrified as the black figures closed around what looked like a small boy stumbling backwards trying to get away from them. Out of pure instinct, Rogue grabbed a branch from the fire and ran towards Frodo. She charged towards the things that were moving ever closer to what she thought was a boy and put the burning branch against their backs. As soon as the flame touched them they burst in to flames.

As if spurred on by this, Strider regained his senses and ran to protect Frodo. He wached helplessly as Frodo pulled out the ring and quickly put it on. He frantically looked over his shoulder to try and find the missing hobbit but was forced to return his attention to the wraith he was fighting. The only thing that he could see was the woman protecting the hobbits with the sword he had given Pippin.

Rogue slowly began to edge herself and the hobbits backwards. She was getting more and more tired and the sword in her hand was getting heavier. She didn't know what happened to the ones she set on fire but the one in front of her didn't seem to be tiring.

"What are these damn things?" she growled.

"They're Ringwraiths," Pippin said shakily. "They're after Frodo."

"Frodo?"

"The one who vanished."

Suddenly the Ringwraith that Rogue had been fighting burst in to flame and there was a blood curdling scream but it didn't come from the wraith as it leapt off the tower. Rogue's eyes met with piercing green for a split moment before they both ran to Frodo who was crying on the ground.

A feeling in the pit of Rogue's stomach alerted her that she was about to be thrown back in to her world.

"Ah think it's time for me to go," she murmured.

"Who are you?" Strider pointed his sword at her.

"Mah name is Rogue and is that anyway to treat someone who helped you? Anyway I think you should be more concerned about him." She gestured to Frodo.

"I apologize my lady," he said while inspecting Frodo's wound with a worried look on his face.

Rogue didn't get a chance to find out what was wrong as she was suddenly thrown forward again. When her vision came back in to focus she found herself lying on the floor of the mansion. She was back where she had started. Rogue shakily struggled to her feet and brushed the dirt off her clothes before glaring at Forge as he ran towards her. 'Ah'm gonna get him for this. Another part of the mansion my ass.'

"So what part of the mansion did you end up in?"

"Forge you idiot! Different part of the mansion my ass! I ended up in a whole different bloody dimension!" Rogue yelled furiously.

"What! That's impossible!" Forge exclaimed. "Unless I made an error in my calculations..." He hurried off to try and find his notes by the control panel.

"There is no way in hell am ah doin' that again," she growled.

"Ah ha!" he grinned triumphantly."That's where I went wrong." Forged quickly entered something in to the control panel. A look passed over his face as he realised what Rogue had actually said. "Come on Rogue, just once more," he pleaded. "If it doesn't work I swear I'll buy you a Starbuck's!"

"Fine," she grumbled. "But you owe me. Big time!"

Forge started up the machine and rogue felt herself being thrown forward again. The last thing she heard Forge saying was, "Something's wrong. It's not using the new calculation!"

When Rogue opened her eyes, she saw many shocked disbelieving faces staring at her.

'Ah don't think I'm in Kansas anymore,' she thought.
