Chapter 1-Practical Jokes
"Peregrin Took...and Holly Brandybuck. Why am I not surprised you were up to this trickery? I expected the other Brandybuck to be here, but I guess he just decided to keep his nose clean for once," the old Gaffer said. (A/N: for those of you who have only seen the movie but didn't read the book, the Gaffer is Samwise Gamgee's dad) "Sam's out with Rosie in the cornfields. You can play jokes on them after they return."
Holly and Peregrin ran away quickly when they found out it wasn't either Jessica or Samwise that the ale had dropped on. Holly had created a device that, when the door opens, a tub of the ale would spill over, drenching whoever happens to be in the doorway.
"Did you see the look on the ol' Gaffer's face??" Pippin laughed while Holly was busy giggling over the fact that her best friend's brother was out with his girlfriend again.
"Yeah, but c'mon! The better part was the fact that Sam and Rosie are in the cornfields. And when those two are together...you know who'll be watchin' 'em!!" Holly and Pippin looked at each other and ran to the cornfields.
Meanwhile, Jessica laid herself in her secret place in the cornfields. She heard voices in the fields ahead and knew immediately that they belonged to her brother, Samwise Gamgee, and his girlfriend, Rosie Cotton.
"Oh, Sam, I miss just walking through the cornfields like we used to. I've been so busy lately, what with helping my father with the new tavern that is to be up soon. I wish we could be alone much more!" Rosie leaned against Sam.
"I know, Rose. I feel the pain you go through because I'm going through it as well. I too am busy. I never knew how painstaking gardening could be! And Bilbo has been getting me to do a lot of preparations for his party in a month." Sam brushed a hand through Rosie's curls.
Jessica, sensing not only tension, but a moment of passion arising, started mimicking her father's voice.
"Get in here, boy, you've got chores! Bilbo sent for you as well!"
'Every time! And just at the part I was looking forward to!' Sam thought.
"Well, you better go, Samwise. I'll be looking for you every day from now until the party!" Rosie got up and left, and Sam did the same, but went in the opposite direction. He suddenly heard much laughter coming from behind him.
"What is it Rosie?" Sam turned around, but he was dismayed when he found that the laughter didn't belong to Rosie, but to his sister.
"Oh Sam, I miss you so much!" Jessica said in a sarcastic tone, trying to mimic Rosie's tone.
" Shut up, Jessie, you ruined the most perfect moment I've ever had!! You always interrupt when we're about to kiss...Next time I'm sneakin' out of the house so you don't follow me!" Sam looked angrily at his sister, who was dressed in her usual boyish look.
"Then I shall stay up every single night to follow you. I made this to give to Pippin as a birthday gift. Do you think he'll like it?" Jessica handed Sam a piece of wood carven to take the shape of a dragon.
"Knowing the twit, he'll think it's supposed to be a horse. But perhaps he'll have enough sense to think it's a dragon. I think he'll like it. But I don't know why you even bother giving it to him...it's not like he ever gets you anything on your birthday." The two had reached their hobbit hole.
"You wouldn't understand why. You're just a stupid gardener!" Jessica laughed at the angry look on Sam's face when she said this and ran into her room, closing the door in front of his face.
Minutes later, there was a knock on the Gamgee's door followed by some shouting.
"Hey, Ms. Gamgee! Come here, quick!" a male voice sounded in the doorway.
'Pippin...now's my chance to give him his present!' Jessica thought.
"Yeah, if you don't come quick, you'll miss all the fun!!" a female voice boomed throughout the hobbit hole.
'Damn...why'd Holly have to be here??'
Jessica walked outside to meet her friends. She blushed when Pippin kissed her hand and the three went off to find Frodo, who was over at Merry's.
"So...Pippin..." Jessica started, when she realized she didn't have anything to say. "You're going to Bilbo Baggins' party, right?" She blurted out quickly. It was the first thing that came to her mind.
"Of course! I wouldn't miss it. I've got much work to plan something big to somehow involve myself in the party!" Pippin looked lost in thought about some master plan.
"Well...I was...y'know...wondering if you'd...umm..." Jessica was drawing a blank on what to say.
'Come on Jess...you can do it!' Holly mentally said.
"Well I basically...wanted to know if you wanted to...go to the party together...you know..." Jessica blushed while she said this. She loved Pippin dearly but she disliked the closeness of him and Holly because she always felt she was somewhat left out.
"Of course I'll go with you! That is if Holly wouldn't mind going without me," Pippin grinned cheekily at Holly. That was when Holly first realized that Pippin liked her more than a friend.
"Oh, I don't mind!" Holly smiled, then it turned to a frown. Her best male friend suddenly had feelings for her, but she couldn't think of ever having a relationship with him. She thought of Frodo and she wished that she were friends with him as must as she was friends with Pippin.
"Well, then it's a date, my dear!" Pippin linked his arm with Jessica's and ran up ahead of Holly.
"Hey guys, wait up!" Holly ran after them and tripped right in front of Frodo.
"Are you alright, my dear?" Frodo asked, helping her up.
"Why...I'm...I'm fine," Holly grinned and she stood up, but immediately felt a twinge of pain in her hairy foot.
"Don't move, you sprained your ankle! Here, let me help you," Frodo supported her by placing her arm around his shoulder and the two hopped into his hobbit hole.
