So This Is The Hobbit...Er, Girl : Chapter 1

So I'm kind of taking a break from Seas and going modern times with this fanfic! Well, sort of. The main character in here is me in real life, Megan, because I've always wanted to be thrown into The Hobbit adventure...so bad... :P. And also it's like super easy to keep your own personality when writing. ^-^ I hope you guys like it! OH by the way, I'm definitely NOT in college xDD. All recognizable Hobbit stuff is Tolkien and Peter Jackson.

"Megan, get your butt over here and stop gawking at that weird store!" I heard Amanda call from the opposite side of the mall hallway. I reluctantly turned away from the Hot Topic store window, and the Attack on Titan teeshirt. I sighed, looking up to see Amanda at the entrance to Forever 21. She hopped up and down in her bright yellow flats. "Coming," I called back, walking over to her and adjusting my oversized sweatshirt. I loved my oversized sweatshirts, they always made me feel cozy. Amanda, on the other hand, always seemed to dress like she's going on a date. She was wearing skinny jeans, like me, but had on a black short-sleeved shirt with a large yellow flower pattern on it. They matched her shoes.

"Come on!" she squeaked, grabbing my hand and tugging me inside. We had the entire summer break, and yet she insisted on going to the mall just two days after we got out of classes. Best friends since 6th grade, I had become a shy, Internet loving, animal sciences student, and Amanda stayed her social butterfly, fashion forward self, studying the same major as me. Once inside the store, Amanda immediately, and excitedly, dove into the racks of clothing. I slowly followed her around, not in need of any new clothing. Though, this one blue dress had caught my eye. It was sleeveless with lace all over it, and the entire thing was navy blue except the thin brown belt that ran around the middle. I liked it. I grabbed one off the rack and looked up to see Amanda's blond head on the other side of the store.

"Look what I found," I said, walking up to her. She looked away from the skimpy half-top she had found. Another reason I didn't like Forever 21. Weird clothing. "Cute!" she said, then turned back to the shelf. I sighed and went to the dressing rooms. I was about to pull on the dress when my phone buzzed, and I sat down on the little bench, pulling it out of my jeans pocket. Gabe had texted me. Is Amanda with you? She won't answer her phone his text read. Of course he was looking for Amanda. I gave him my answer and put my phone away. Gabe and Amanda had secretly loved each other since 7th grade, yet they continued to constantly deny it. All of our friends teased the two about it.

The dress looked great, so I decided to get it. I was low on dresses anyway, being one that prefered jeans and a nice shirt for social events. I came out of the dressing room and almost ran into Amanda with her arms full of new clothes. I bet she would buy them all. "Hey Megan! You gonna get that dress?" she asked. I nodded, grinning. "You gonna get the whole store?" I responded sarcastically. "Oh, shut up!" she joked, opening a dressing room door with her foot. I went back out into the store. With nothing else to do, I sat on a seat near the entrance to the dressing rooms and pulled out my phone again. Tumblr, awaaay! I thought. I got lost in the world of memes, gifs, and hilarious posts for what seemed like only minutes, but was actually half an hour. I looked up when Amanda whacked a shopping bag at my face. "We can go now, nerd," she said.

"Crap. Give me a second to check out," I answered, rushing off towards the line. I quickly bought the blue dress and then left the store with Amanda almost skipping by my side. "Wait, before we go somewhere else, bathroom break," I said. Amanda groaned. "Fine, but hurry. You don't need to redo your entire face while you're in there," she said as I walked to the bathrooms, hitching my purse higher on my shoulder. "Pfft, that's why I'm going in," I said to myself.

Once inside, I dropped my purse on the counter, inspecting my makeup in the mirror. I never did anything special with eyeshadow or anything, but I was obsessed with the makeup I did have on being perfect. I pulled out my foundation, seeing that me rubbing my nose earlier had also rubbed off the makeup there. But as I was dabbing off the excess, my hand bumped the mirror. It happens all the time, but this time, something was wrong. The mirror felt like a liquid. That's right, like it was made of water or something. I nudged it again with the back of my hand and jumped when my hand dipped into it, but no coating of water or anything remained on my hand. I put my makeup bag away, then actually poked a finger at the mirror. It went all the way in, and I made my hand follow it. Thank god the bathroom was deserted.

This was like some sort of movie. What the heck? Was this like some portal or something? Perfect cliché movie setting. The mirror portal, haven't seen that before. I swung my purse over my shoulder and stuck my hand through it again, this time all the way up to my elbow. I felt my hand warming up, not like fire or a fever, but like sunshine. I decided to see if this actually was something or if I had just gone insane. I took a deep breath, holding it, closed my eyes, and leaned over the counter, shoving my face into the mirror. I partially opened one of my eyes after a few moments, then they both flew open, and I gasped. I was looking into the Shire. THE SHIRE. Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit Shire. My jaw dropped.

Was this a portal to New Zealand? No, that can't happen. Impossible. But the Shire was even less probable. I was about to bring my face back out of the mirror when I realized that the rest of my body had subconsiously come through the mirror, and I was standing in front of a tree. I turned around and put my hand up to the tree, expecting for it to just dip back in like it was supposed to, but it hit solid wood. I froze. Oh. Shoot. Was I stuck here? What about my shopping trip? Amanda? My friends? My PARENTS?! I had to get back somehow. This was very bad. I turned back around and almost passed out.

It was Gandalf. He was walking on a path that cut through the Hobbit holes and endless hills. Well, this is Hobbit Shire, not Lord of the Rings, at least. I must be crazy. This is physically impossible. But...maybe I should just enjoy it while it's here, even if this is a dream. My mind was racing, but I stopped it. Stop thinking about things, and just appreciate that I'm in my dream world. I took a deep breath as my heart started racing. Should I go up to Gandalf? I slapped myself. Of course I'm going up to freakin Gandalf. My legs moved before I told them to, and I went racing down the hill I was on and towards the path, and Gandalf.

He looked up as he heard my fast footsteps in the grass, and his eyebrows crumpled in confusion. I came to a stop, freaking out inside that I was standing in front of THE Gandalf. "Hello! I'm Megan!" I squeaked out. He looked down at me. He was TALL. Taller than the movies showed. "Good day. May I ask where you have come from, why you were running to me, and why you are wearing such strange clothing?" he queried. His voice was better than I expected. But how could I answer this? I came from another world entirely? Sure. "Um, well, it's a long story. And...probably very confusing. I come from another world, basically, which is set in times, like, waaaay in the future from now. I was running to you because I couldn't believe that you, Gandalf, are real and that you are standing in front of me. And...these are the type of clothes that everyone in my world wears," I said quickly, my mouth talking to fast in my excitement.

"Hmm. I would ask for a deeper explanation, but I have business to attend to," he said, then paused for a long and awkward moment, studying me carefully. "I have a strange feeling about you, but it is not bad. Would you like to accompany me?" he asked. I breathed out in wonder, then nodded spastically. This business could only be one thing, rather, Hobbit: Bilbo Baggins. And I was going to see him.

This is so much fun writing! I hope you guys liked the first chapter! I could have made it longer but I didn't :P. Another chapter of this will hopefully come quickly, maybe later tonight. And another chapter of Seas... I dunno. Maybe tonight also ;). Please review with any ideas, or if you like it or not! Love you guys!
