Your doubles? Adara thought to herself with a instant look of confusion on her face that quickly slipped away as she shook her head no and slowly walked to the other side of the couch closer to Jack before Natalie actually woke up.

"She does this a lot," Adara explained to Jack, taking glances back and forth at Jack and Natalie in turn, "she is all of the sudden wake up and then fall back asleep unaware of what has happened."

Once Natalie was laying back down on the couch asleep, Adara explained to Jack, "This can't be Davy Jones Locker because there is food here, there isn't a lot of sand everywhere, and there aren't moving rocks."

Legolas, who had been standing in the corner, watching all the excitement over the television, now spoke. "what is the "Locker"? and did that box work by magic?"

-----

Mari and Susan had curled up on the floor earlyer and now jumped awake, rubbing their eyes, and asking what on earth happened.

School ate my life. *sigh*

"That stuff isn't even close to as cold as it was earlier," Merry noticed, as he picked up one of the items out of the freezer, dropped it, and ran over to the container of Breyer's Cookie Cough Ice Cream.

Opening the lid, Merry placed his finger inside to see that it wasn't a hard-rock anymore, but, at the same time, it wasn't completely melted. "This stuff is weird..." He concluded, mainly talking to Pippin who had gone to investigate some noise in another room.

Merry dipped his hand into the ice cream. He figured that he had to try it now. Yummm, rolled through his mind as he ate the ice cream dripping off of his fingers. "This stuff is good!" he excitedly thrust out to himself, with a pop up from sitting to standing, "More. More. More." Merry started to dive into the ice cream my scooping it out with his hands and scorfing it down his throat.

In about a minute or two, he decided that he should go and find Pippin. Noticing that he was starting to walk faster and talk faster, Merry almost ran around the house calling out Pippin continuously with miniscule stops for air.

"I'm in here," came Pippin's voice to which Merry immediately followed, by running into the room. "Look at this Merry," Pippin pointed at the TV. "It's called a car, and you use a key," Pippin proudly announced the small amount of knowledge he had obtained from a documentary.

"And it moves.. like a horse.. a fast horse... with no legs.. what kind of horse is that?" Merry spat out, to only be stopped by scooping up and eating another bit of ice cream.

"I know what it isn't, and it looks like fun. Better than Gandalf's fireworks!"

"Yeah. I bet we could find one."

"Or we could just get that one," Pippin suggested.

"How?" Merry looked puzzled, but, at the same time, he didn't care because the ice cream was still about half full.

"Walk outside..." Pippin looked over at Merry and finally noticed that there was something wierd about him, "What is that?" He pointing to the ice cream, "I want some!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

Pippin ran towards Merry, who, at the same moment, ran away. They chased each other throughout the house, past the completely destroyed kitchen, and into the garage. Halting, Merry and Pippin stood stunned that they were so close to a... car. Pippin, the first to snap out of this moment, took advantage of Merry and grabbed the ice cream from him.

"You ate it all!" Pippin complained and tossed the ice cream aside.

"You think that there is a key?" Merry asked.

"I don't know."

Merry and Pippin had their face at the windows so they could look inside the car. "There!" Pippin pointed, "Just like the other one." He quickly opened the door and hopped into the driver's seat before Merry could. Stretching his legs, Pippin inconviently found that he could not reach the petals. He jumped up and down on the car seat in disappointment as Merry tapped on the window.

Getting out, Pippin exchanged places with Merry, who had just convinced Pippin that he was still the tall one. Unfortunately to Merry, he was unable to reach the petals also. "How did the person work this thing?" Merry hit random objects, one that made the garage door open to which Merry and Pippin deeply considered leaving the car for, but soon threw out the idea after sitting for three minutes and seeing nothing else happened.

"The key," Pippin said, "the person turned it like this." Pippin reached over the middle section and turned the key to start the car. With the first rumble, he let go and jolsted back to his seat. "I think we probably..."

Interrupting, Merry thought the rumble was cool, and he proceeded to fully start the car. "What now?"

"This thing moved." Pippin pointed at the gear shift.

Merry grabbed ahold of the gear shift and yanked back, but it wouldn't nudge. Getting out of the seat, Merry decided he would try harder. With his right foot on one of the pedals and his left on another, Merry easily pushed the stick forward.

"We're moving!" squeeled Pippin as the car moved forward out of the garage.

"I never knew how strong I really was," Merry looked down at his arm as the car slowly inched out of the garage. "This thing needs to go faster!"

Merry started to press random buttons. He turned on and off the windowshield wipers four times before he reached down and had to hit the only thing that he hadn't hit, the pedals. The seat was already moved forward some and the steering down thanks to Merry's random button pressing. So, Merry could somewhat easily reach the petals. Pressing one, the car came to an immediate stop.

"Just look what you did!" Pippin yelled, "We were getting somewhere!" The car was now off of the driveway, and Pippin was enjoying turning the wheel to have the car follow the road.

"Trust me Pippin," Merry reassured him, "one more thing to try." Merry's foot went off of the brake pedal, causing the car to move again, and Pippin to squeel, to the gas pedal. Merry's foot pressed the gas pedal in the same way as the brake.. right down to the floor.

ZOOM!

The car blasted forward, and both Merry and Pippin were thrown back screaming, partially from the fear that there lives were going to end and partially from excitement as they drove right on towards and past the Terminator and the gang.

"A garden party?" Adara's mouth dropped open from excitement, "Can I go?" She jumped up and down at the thought of being able to go to a piratey-garden party, even though she couldn't see much connection to what pirates and gardens had in common.

--------------

"Turn it off!" Pippin screamed to Merry who still had his lead foot upon the pedal from shock of how fast a car could really go.

Both Merry and Pippin couldn't move. They weren't wearing seatbelts, but, at the same time, they didn't need any. The force kept them back enough.

"I'm working on it!" Merry yelled back at Pippin. He released his foot from the pedal, and the car casually slowed down to an abrupt stop from hitting a lightpole.

Aiden winced. He should have known Jadis' more pleasant mood couldn't last for long. "You're in my house..." she probably wanted more general terms. "in Ireland, on, well, Earth."

Danielle popped into the room, "Why would you want to go to a garden party?" she asked.

Adara was speechless. How could someone not want to go to a pirate party, even if it was going to be in a garden? she pondered unsuccessfully.

--------------------------

"Get out of the car," Merry instructed Pippin as he struggled to push back the deflating airbag and climb out of the totaled car. Pippin mimicked Merry's actions, and they both soon managed to crawl out. Pippin more falling out and hitting the pavement than crawling.

"Wow," Merry shook himself off trying to get some of the shock to go away, "that was awesome. Let's get another one. How about.. that one?" Merry pointed to the Terminator's motorcycle.

"Merry..." Pippin slowly snuck up to him and quietly whisphered over, "Let's get back in the car." Pippin scooted backwards to try and open one of the car doors, and Merry, finally realizing the massive size of the Terminator, did the same.

Louy looked over at the totaled car and watched the two hobbits crawl out. Her knees almost buckled under her, she spread her arms slightly so she wouldn't loose her balance. This was too much.
"Cheese, then the Terminator, then Ghost Rider, then you two people with magic, now Merry and Pippin..." she spoke softly trying to take it all in. "What's next... Hiro from the tv show Heroes just pops up right next to me with his sword expecting to find Sylar here?"

Adara was about ready to get mad and yell out, "Why?" for Jack Sparrow not letting her go to the garden party he was holding, but, with Jack Sparrow now talking to himself, Adara let out a slight giggle and proceeded to cover her mouth to keep herself from bursting into laughter.

"You're not in Davy Joneses locker," Adara retold Jack Sparrow, "so can't you just tell them all to go away."

"It was a whole lot more interesting when we could see them," Adara quietly muttered to herself, slightly upset that this wasn't like the movie.

------------

Merry and Pippin found themselves unable to get back into the totaled car, so they proceeded to comfort themselves in any little bit by trying to figure out what the Terminator was and open a path to run, if necessary.

"He looks like Aragorn," Pippin whisphered at Merry, looking up at the Terminator.

"Yeah.. except for huger and with more muscles."

"And sterner.."

"..and he drives a car looking thing."

"I wonder if he knows Elrond."

"Yeah, you should ask him, Pip."

"Yeah.. no.."

"Yes," Merry pushed Pippin over towards the Terminator to make sure it was safe, and remained close so that he could pull his friend back, and they could flee together, if need be.

"Ah, yeah. I mean yes- lots of humans live here." Aiden said. Glancing past Jadis, he could see Cuchullain still sitting on the couch, watching the others.

"There is a store that sells rum about 15 minutes of a drive down the street," Adara snapped back at Jack Sparrow, "so.. what is your excuse for being in the locker now?" Adara tilted her head back and crossed her arms getting ready for anything Jack Sparrow may throw at her.
