School for the Fellowship

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

Boromir would be a B+ or A- student while Aragorn achieved straight A's or A+'s, thus setting up a bitter rivalry between them that would span through into adulthood. Some of the best school fights would be between those two, but the outcomes would always be undetermined because they'd have to be broken up by Gandalf, the principal. There wouldn't be any less bragging, though:

"Just admit it, you grubby idiot: I bested you! It was obvious to everyone that watched!"

"WhatEVER! I had you running with your tail between your legs!"

"Maybe in your dreams. I had you down for the count."

"Yeah? That's a little impossible, considering you can't count past two."

"Ooh, you'd better get ready to put that little preppy head of yours to the test, because when I'm done with you, I'll want you to tell me how many different Boromirs you see."
