Disclaimer: None of the characters are mine! I admit it, alright!

The grammer isn't perfect, I know, but Elanor is only meant to be nine, I was trying to get that accross. So, does anyone like it, or should I spare you all the agony of further chapters now, while I still can? Please r/r. Let me know what you think.


The Diary of Elanor Gamgee

Entry One

It's my birthday! Yay! I am now nine years old, and Da has promised to tell me the WHOLE story about him, Mr Frodo, Unka Merry and Unka Pippin, and King Elessar. (My Da is friends with a king!) He's already told me that it is a big, important one. He said that nothing would be the same with out it. Not Hobbiton. Not him and Mama. I can't wait!

I had a party today as well. All my friends came and so did Unka Merry and Unka Pippin. I don't know why I call them 'Unka'. I always have, and as it doesn't seem to bother them too much I probably always will.

I wore my new dress. It was very pretty. White, with shiny yellow and green stuff along the bottom, neck and at the end of the sleeves. Da told me that it was very special and made just for me!

There was lots of laughing, and lots and lots of cake. Mama made them, and she is the best cook in the whole of the wide, wide world, or that's what Da says. They tasted great, didn't last long though. And the adults ate most of them. I didn't notice until I got hungry while Da was thanking the parents for letting my friends come and play.

Oh, well. Mama says it's time for bed. I'm not tired but she might get a little cross if she opens the door and finds me writing. It's happened before, once, twice, or maybe a hundred times.

And another thing, Mama and Da gave me this book as a present, so I could write everything in it. Well, tomorrow Da said that we 9me and him) are going back to Unka Pippin's house with him. It'll be great!

Bye, bye Diary. Sleep tight.
