*Okay everyone if your wondering how Honoria is pronounced, here it is (On-or-ee-a), but she'll mostly be referred as Honor. *
In a hole in a ground there lived a Baggin's and a Took in the home of Bag-End. The half Elf, half Hobbit, was at the lake where her mother mysteriously died in years ago. She would not dare enter it, but often came there to think. Honoria didn't get along with the other hobbits of the Shire. The little folk found her very strange that she didn't enjoy the things they did, she was after all a hobbit, but yet found what they enjoyed to be incredibly boring to her. The young woman had bigger dreams - to one day go beyond the borders of the Shire and see the world; something hobbits had no rush to do. They never wondered what was passed there lands, they were content with the surroundings they were in.
The young woman tossed a few more rocks into the water and got up and headed up the path that led to her home. She rounded the last corner and saw her cousin sitting on the bench in front of their home, smoking his pipe. " Honor, where have you been?" The hobbit questioned his cousin, removing the pipe from his mouth.
" I-I was...around." Honor stuttered trying to avoid the question. Bilbo raised an eyebrow at his cousin, knowing she wasn't telling him the truth.
" Don't lie to me Honoria." Bilbo said sternly, using her full name. She rolled her eyes and folded her arms.
" I hate it when you call me by my full name. I was at the lake okay." The half-breed groaned. Her older cousin, acted more like an over protective brother, rather then a cousin. The hobbit let out a deep disappointing sigh.
" You know I don't like it when your down there." Honor opened their little gate and walked into the yard and faced her cousin, who was still looking at her with disappointment.
"You don't like a lot of things I do, but I do them anyways." Honoria retorted stubbornly. Bilbo narrowed his eyes, his cousin always knew what to say to end a conversation. The half-breed started walking up the steps to the door, when her cousin took a puff and exhaled the smoke, making him sneeze. The woman turned around to see an old man in a grey cloak, holding a staff and had a giant pointy grey hat on his head. Bilbo looked up in surprise.
"Good morning." Bilbo said awkwardly.
"What do you mean? Do you mean to wish me a good morning, or do you mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not? Or, perhaps you mean to say that you feel good on this particular morning. Or are you simply stating that this is a morning to be good on?" The strange old man said. Honoria let out a chuckle at this nonsense.
" All of them at once, I suppose." The hobbit replied uncertain, shifting on the bench. The stranger looked slightly disapprovingly at Bilbo.
"Can we help you?" Honoria interrupted, seeing how confused and bewildered by this, her cousin was getting. The wizard shifted his gaze to the half-breed that was standing on the first step.
"That remains to be seen. I'm looking for someone to share in an adventure." The old man declared. The pipe dropped from the hobbit's mouth as he looked at the man in shock. Honoria on the other hand, had a feeling of excitement jump inside her, at the sound of this.
"An adventure? No, I don't imagine anyone west of Bree would have much interest in adventures. Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things. Make you late for dinner, hm, mm." Bilbo informed the man, while checking his mailbox, and then started sorting through it, chuckling to himself, hoping the wizard would leave.
Honor had to agree on that with her cousin, no hobbit would ever agree going on an adventure. They enjoyed the comforts of their homes too much to leave it. Bilbo looked quite uncomfortable when he noticed the wizard was still standing there. Puffing his pipe in vexation he begins heading back up the steps to his house. " Good morning." The hobbit said, once again. Honor shook her head looking at the ground.
" To think that I should have lived to be good morninged by Belladonna Took's son, as if I were selling buttons at the door." The wizard barked.
" Beg your pardon?" The hobbit said in confusion, even the half-breed was confused.
" You've changed, and not entirely for the better, Bilbo Baggins and even you Honoria Took." The woman did not like being called by her full name by anyone.
"It's just Honor." She snarled. The wizard didn't say anything but was interrupted by the hobbit.
"So we know you?" The wizard looked at them both in disappointment, for not remembering who he was from their childhood.
"Well, you know my name, although you don't remember I belong to it. I'm Gandalf! And Gandalf means...me" Hearing his name again the young woman remembered something about him.
" Gandalf?...not Gandalf, the wandering wizard, who made such excellent fireworks! Old Took used to have them on Midsummer's Eve. Don't you remember Bilbo!" Honor exclaimed, looking at her cousin who wasn't quite as excited as her. The wizard chuckled, he was indeed known for his fireworks. " Ha, ha! Well hmm, I had no idea you were still in business." The wizard's expression fell at this notion.
"And where else should I be?" Gandalf snapped.
"Ha, Ha! Hm, hmm...don't mind my cousin, she sometime's says things without thinking." Bilbo stated. Thinking the last thing he wanted was to make this wizard angry. He turned to see his cousin looking at him with her eyebrow cocked and glaring at him as he puffs confusedly on his pipe.
"Well I'm pleased to find you remember something about me, even if it's only my fireworks. Well, that's decided. It will be very good for you, and most amusing for me. I shall inform the others." The wizard announced looking at the half-breed and then the hobbit.
"W-wait! What others?" Honor shouted when the wizard started leaving.
"You will find out soon enough." The wizard stated, not going into detail. Bilbo was not pleased with this at all.
"What? No. No. No! Wait. We do not want any adventures here, thank you. Not today, Not-mm. I suggest you try over the hill or across the water. Good morning." Bilbo snapped before retreating back into his home. " Honoria! Get inside now!"
The woman glanced at the wizard who said nothing. The half breed walked through the door and Bilbo quickly bolted the door and leans against it. " What are you doing?" Honoria questioned, looking at her cousin strangely.
"Shhh" He insisted. They both were quiet and then heard the same strange noise coming from the other side of the door. Honor went over to look out their window, only to find Gandalf's eye appear in front of her, making her jump back in fright and she hid behind a wall. " Are you okay?" He asked her, when he saw the look on her face.
"I don't think we've seen the last of him." She informed. The two cousins went over to the kitchen window and watch as the wizard squiring away, down the road and disappeared.
