ADVENTURES OF GILLY HILLDWELLER FROM DEEPHOLLOW.

Disclaimer: Nothing belongs to me, except for Gilly and her family.

A.N: Okay. I read this over and I decided that it's time to edit this mother – fix everything up and make it all better! So, hopefully all my faithful reviewers (like Rosa Cotton and Cougar) will stick around and wait patiently for my updates. Because this story will be updated I promise you, I just don't know when. Also I hope a few new folks will take a look at this story, and give a review -- nothing cruel though, thanks.

I've never read the books either, so this is based -- of course on the movies. Please correct me if there are any mistakes that you see.

Anyway, thanks again so much to those who have reviewed! And please feel free to hassle me for updates, it's the encouragement i need!

Right, and sorry for any colourful spelling or grammar mistakes I happen to miss!

Rating: G for now.

Ch. 1 -- Gilly



The day was bright and sunny as it always seemed to be in the Shire and Gilly Hilldweller of Deephollow had discarded her small jacket before she set out for the market.

She hummed as she skipped down the lane -- but unfortunately her foot caught a stone that was jutting out of the bridge and she tripped.

"Ommph!" She grunted. "Stupid confounded Hobbit feet!" She yelled. Then Gilly realized that there were indeed other hobbits about. Her face flushed with embarrassment and she quickly pushed herself to her feet.

She brushed herself off and pushed her hair back from her face.

'Nobody saw that', Gilly consoled herself.

"Are you all right?" Frodo Baggins asked, he'd just been coming up the bridge when he saw Gilly take her tumble.

"Fine," she said through gritted teeth.

"I saw you fall!" Peregrin Took cried, running up beside Frodo.

"That must have hurt!" Meridoc Brandybuck exclaimed, standing beside Pippin-- for the two of them always seemed to be together.

Gilly, who was now quite embarrassed, puffed out her chest and shouted: "I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!" She took a deep breath, "I'm fine."

"She's bleeding!" Samwise Gamgee yelped.

"Oh bloody hell," Gilly muttered. "it's just a flesh wound really, it's no trouble," Gilly lied pushing them away, she hobbled a few steps down the road before throwing a glance over her shoulder. "A little help?"

The four hobbits took hold of her arms and helped her all the way back to her nice hobbit hole. Where Gilly's mother was waiting impatiently.

"Fool of Hilldweller!" Her mother shouted and Gilly flinched. She'd forgotten to go to the market...again.

Gilly wasn't particularly forgetful, it was just...the market was so boring. There always seemed something better to do. Of course, that was before they ran out of bread and cheese.

"Sorry Mum!" Gilly shouted, "I, well, you see..." Gilly stalled trying to think up an appropriately heroic sounding story.

"She tripped ma'am," Sam cut in.

Gilly shot Sam a look. "I did not!" She strode to the front gate.

"Wait just a minute miss," her mother said with narrowed eyes. "Do you have the cheese?"

"No..." Gilly replied softly.

"Do you have the bread?"

"No," Gilly said barely above a whisper.

"Well then you turn yourself right around and get back to market and fetch me the bread and cheese!"

Gilly sighed, "yes Mum."

"You have the money I gave you?" Gilly's mother asked.

"Yes, yes," Gilly replied. She pushed her throbbing knee's to the back of her mind and trudged off to the market.

Her adventures would have to wait until tomorrow.
