A/N: My favorite answer I got was, 'I would ask him how he became such a genius!' that was from 16. And I know this chapter is super short, not even a page, but I wanted to at least get something up for keeping it so long and I didn't want it to be just an A/N. so, sorry.
No one had been expecting this. Frodo was gone; he'd left for the undying lands by his own choice. The fellowship (especially the hobbits) missed him terribly, but everyone agreed that he hadn't been the same since he came back from Mordor. He had changed, as they all had, since they first went on the journey. Accept that, unlike them, he didn't adjust very well when they got back. His mind had been taken over by the ring, and while he had no longer been obsessed, he wasn't the same. He built his walls high. But there had still been moments where the old Frodo shined through. When he was laughing with his friends, when he saw Sam's child for the first time, and at every wedding, and joy filled celebration he seemed to forget his worries.
However, in this moment, no one could remember what Frodo had been through, or that it was his choice to leave. Right now, the fact that Frodo Baggins was standing in the large, ornate doorway was the only thing on their minds. And within moments, the hobbit in question felt himself engulfed in a hug so tight, he could barely breathe. Sam had nearly leapt over the table to get to his old friend. Frodo looked surprised, but quickly embraced Sam.
"Frodo," Sam choked. "Is it really you?" Frodo laughed in his shoulder.
"Yes, my dear Sam," he said. "It really is me." They stood that way for several seconds, no one wanting to interrupt them, each of them feeling that they were about to start crying from happiness. Finally, Sam stepped back and quickly tried to hide the fact that he'd been crying into Frodo's shoulder.
"It's good to see you again, Sam," said Frodo.
"It's good to see you too, Mr. Frodo," Sam said, his eyes glistening.
A/N: again, so sorry for the shortness of the chapter, but no more cliffy! I'll try to post as soon as I can, but you know me... Until then, chao!
