What if Sam had a wraith girlfriend?

[Keeper of the Feet of Melkor]

The theory was as follows:

When Sam and Frodo are in Minas Morgul, Sam meets a Ringwraith named Sarah. He falls madly in love with her and asks her to marry him and return to the Shire, so she does. Frodo never actually takes the Ring to Mount Doom; he gives up the Quest because he thinks it is hopeless without Sam. So, he goes back to the Shire as well, where he decides he's going to steal Sam's old girlfriend (Rose Cotton). Meanwhile, Sauron is back at the Barad-dur, doing... evil overlord stuff. When he finds out that Sarah has left him for a hobbit, he throws a tantrum and wrecks his Dark Tower, thus convincing everyone else that the War of the Ring is over. So, the King returns, etc. Back to the Shire... Frodo throws a party to announce his engagement to Rosie, and he uses the One Ring as an engagement band... Sarah and Sam, of course, are guests at the party, and Sarah, being a Ringwraith, recognizes the Ring as soon as Frodo takes it out of his pocket and slips it onto Rosie's finger. (The fact that she disappears makes it even more obvious.) So Sarah leaps at Rosie and stabs her with her Morgul-knife (old habits die hard...) and then snatches the Ring away. She flees the Shire with the Ring, and goes directly to Mordor to deliver it to Sauron. Sauron has taken up residence at Mount Doom while his slaves build him a shiny new Dark Tower, so he's... there. Sarah tracks him down, finding him while he is standing on the edge of the Crack of Doom... fire-gazing, or warming his hands up or something. She is just about to tap him on the shoulder and hand him the Ring when she trips over a rock and falls to her death, thus destroying Sauron. Then, Sam marries Rosie and Frodo sails into the West. The End.

-Sarah was a wrobbit (do the math)
