Peter Jackson had not realised the trouble he had loaded upon himself by signing nine lunatics. Had he thought that only the youngsters maybe would cause some trouble, the age only seemed to deepen the madness. It�s a strange thing, it is, he thought and then shook his head trying to get rid of this annoying Scottish way of thinking.
Something was wrong.
And not the usual wrong as wrong can be if you have not so normal people working with you.
Severely wrong.
Maybe even wrong with a capital W.
�Er hello!� he called. �Anybody out here? As I like, asked? Where is everyone?� He continued muttering to himself. �And why are the lights switched off?�
He stumbled on over the set. Then he moaned. �Of course. It is a trap. I knew I shouldn�t have had them walking up that mountain 24 times. I�m sorry!!� He added shouting. �Can you stop this nonsense now?�
Suddenly he felt a knock on his head. He tried to turn around and grab the person that hit him, but then the lights went out.
Oh yeah, the lights were already out. Well his inner lights then, or something�
�You idiot!�
The voice Peter heard came from far away. He moaned slightly but kept his eyes closed.
�You hit him much too hard!� The voice continued, and Peter now recognized it as being Elijah�s.
�Well sorr-ee!� replied Orlando. �You told me hit him, and I did. Now don�t give me the �too hard� sissy thing.�
�Told you I should have done it� Dom piped up.
�You�re much too violent already� Billy told his friend, along with something that sounded like a smack.
Peter sat up. They were not really dangerous, he decided. Just extremely crackers.
�Guys� he interrupted their fight, rubbing his head. �Is there a particular reason for this, might I say somewhat strange action? I mean, did you just for fun knocked the senses out of my brain, or��
�Pete, you�re awake!� Sean exclaimed. �That is a good thing. We�re sorry, we just had to bring you out here, but Elf-boy thought it would be nice to give you a concussion along the way.�
�They are not so bad� Orli brought in. �Sometimes they give you the greatest visions. I remember when I fell off the school�s��
�Oh shut up!� Billy and Dom exclaimed, hitting their friend at the same time on opposite sides.
Peter paid no more attention to their battle, as he turned it to the site. They were on the set of Bilbo�s b-day party. Everything was there again, same as they had filmed it, but the name on the banner had been replaced. His own name shone there, above his head. He saw all people from the set were there, enjoying hobbit-ale and food. The four hobbies plus the elf saw him noticing and stopped killing each other for a minute. With pride they saw the astonishment, understanding and then the huge smile on Peter�s face.
�Happy birthday!� They all yelled.
�Thanx guys� Pete replied quite softly. �This is a ..wonderful surprise. I don�t know what to say.�
�How about let�s have an ale?� Dom offered grinning.
Peter grinned. �Let�s do that� he agreed, getting up. Then he grabbed his head and moaned. �Well, when my headache�s a little less, I think� he added. Laughter filled the atmosphere, and one hearing it, could just smile, shake his head and turn away, for it is obvious that only insiders can share this kind of fun�.
