Chapter 1
From her seat on the bench, Elana could see everyone having a great time at Bilbo Baggins' 111th birthday celebration. Elana has long brown hair that is naturally wavy, which is rare considering hobbits usually have somewhat curly hair. She has very pretty oval shaped eyes that are blue-green in color. She has a normal nose and perfect sized lips. Elana is also the only hobbit that wears shoes because her feet are quite small. Elana is one of the prettiest hobbits in Middle Earth. Everyone in the shire loves her. Elana spotted one of her best friends, Rosie Cotton, dancing with the other hobbits. Rosie kept looking over at a table but Elana followed her gaze and saw that she was looking at one of her friends, Samwise Gamgee. Elana smiled to herself and made her way over to him. Lifting up the end of her long purple dress, she sat down nest to him.
''Hello Sam!'' Elana greeted.
Sam turned to her. ''Why hello, Elana! I see you're having a good time!" Sam said. He had sandy-colored curly hair and a kind, gentle face. He was very friendly and had a hige crush on Rosie.
"Oh. I'm having a splendid time." She replied.
She began looking for their other friends, Frodo Baggins. He had been friends with Elana since he moved here. Every hobbit in the shire knew who Frodo was. He had dark brown almost black curly hair and big bright blue eyes. He was taller and had somewhat pale skin. Frodo was very handsome and was cousins with Bilbo. Just as Sam was about to say something, Frodo plopped down on the other side of Sam. He smiled at them.
"Go on Sam, ask Rosie for a dance!" Frodo said.
Sam looked at his glass. "I think I'll just have another ale."
But Frodo grabbed Sam by the shoulders and pushed him into the arms of Rosie. Elana laughed at the look on her face. Frodo turned to Elana.
"So Ella, I haven't seen you all day." He said.
Elana laughed. He was the only one that called her Ella.
"I was with Rosie all day picking out our outfits." She recalled.
He smiled. "Well, I think you look very beautiful." Frodo said shyly. Elana just blushed.
"Speech, Speech, Speech!" the hobbits around them yelled. Bilbo was up on the podium. Elana wondered why he looked so nervous. He knew everyone out there. She looked at Gandalf and he too looked suspicious. "Goodbye." Bilbo spoke quietly. Then he disappeared.
