Galadriel read their minds, and discovered that they all wanted to be in a rock band, but thought that the others would laugh if they said so. So she gave them all instruments, which were handed out alphabetically and as follows:
Aragorn- guitar (Galadriel had a crush on him and decided he should be in the spotlight)
Boromir- bass (Galadriel had this thing for alliteration)
Frodo- microphone (he's a singer)
Gandalf- drums (his staff became an extra drum-stick-thingy)
Legolas- violin (he was already used to a bow)
Merry: washboard (due to some rather rude jokes about the mirror of Galadriel, ie "is that where you do your laundry?")
Pippin- he annoyed Galadriel so much that he didn't get anything. Poor Pippin sulked for quite a long time, let me tell you.
Sam- Sam was last and got stuck with the cymbals. Didn't mind, as was told this was good for his anger management classes.
They called themselves "An Elf, A Dwarf, Two Humans and Four- no, wait, make that Three Hobbits". Pippin collected tickets, and met Diamond there. The other eight members of the Fellowship were a hit until Boromir died, at which they went into proper mourning then re-emerged with a new title: "An Elf, A Dwarf, A Man and Three Short People". Frodo, Sam, and Merry left the band soon after this, feeling that they were not appreciated. They welcomed Pippin into their new band, called "Hobbits Hit It". Both bands often met at "Battles of the Bands", and it was unsure which band was better. Finally, the fans of both bands got tired of it and forsook the bands. And so ended the Fellowship of the Ring in Middle-Earth.
Question: Who were Sauron's parents, and what was his embarrassing nickname as a child?
