Frodo vs. Rosie

Frodo/Sam

Ch.1

"What are you doing outside?" Frodo asks a crying hobbit.

"Everyone knows you don't like me Mr. Frodo, so why do you care?"

"You can't possibly be that dense Rosie. Why are you unhappy?" –Not that I really care, but she's living with my Sam.-

"It's nothing Mr. Frodo. Really, go back inside the green dragon."

"Not unless I drag you back in with me." –And I mean literally dragging you in, cause that would be amusing.-

"You needn't bother. I'm not going back in."

"Fine." Hi sits next to her on the steps, being sure to have at least a foot of space between them. "Then I shall stay to nag you."

"Sam will notice you are missing and be sad."

"He'll notice that you are missing as well, Rosie." –Although I'm sure he'll jump for joy. - "He'll miss you more then me." –I can't believe I just said that! And obviously he'd miss me way more then this wench!-

"If I tell you will you promise not to tell Sam?"

"I promise Rosie." –Of course I'm going to tell him! You're so gullible!-

"I… don't think Sam loves me anymore." She sobs.

-He never loved you! He had a stupid crush, yes. But that ended after we left! I'm guessing his dad picked up on that and figured it wouldn't change while we were gone! Why would he ever love a wench like you?- "Why would you think that?" He sounds disappointed.

"He's just seemed so distant from me since the two of you came back. And we were so close before you left."

-He's always been distant from you! I made sure of that!- "Well, Sam went through a lot on our journey together, to say the least." –A nice long journey without you! I wouldn't call it a vacation, but he was away from you the whole time so that made it great!- "You should keep that in mind."

"Yeah, I know. He was so excited to be home!"

"He sure was!" Frodo smiles. –And if you visited Mt. Doom you'd be happy to be home too!-

"Are you smiling at me Mr. Frodo?" She looks up at him, tears completely gone.

"Do you have a problem with me smiling Rosie?" –Well it got the stupid girl to shut up!-

"Won't Sam get jealous of me if he finds out I'm getting one of your rare smiles?"

"He might be. Would that bother you?" He sounds curious. –She must be really hallow headed cause so far she's only said one thing intelligent.-

"I wouldn't want to get you into trouble for wasting your time talking to me, Mr. Frodo." She sounds sad.

"I wouldn't worry about me, Rosie. Sam's inside with Merry and Pippin. He'll be too busy fending off those two hobbits with their pints and pipiweed, to notice either of us missing right now."

"Are you sure?" She sounds hopeful. Both turn to the sound of a certain hobbit who just walked outside and down the steps to stand behind them.

"What's all this about me not noticing that two certain hobbits are missing? Are you two making bets on how long it takes me?"
