You're My Light in the Dark
Chapter 11
"Hey, Kat, check it out!" Lauren whispered to me while us girls were dancing.
"What?"
"Frodo's been starin' at you the whole time."
"No he hasn't."
"Oh yes he has! You're just oblivious to the fact that he is."
"Is?"
"Yeah, he is now too."
I turned to face our table and sure enough he was, and when he saw me looking at him he blushed and started talking to Sam.
"Who woulda thought, my older sister and Frodo Baggins."
"Shut up, Lauren."
"No, seriously, like I remember when we were back home watching the movies you would go gaga over that kid who played him," she said grinning. "Who woulda thought you would eventually marry the real guy, er, hobbit."
"Who ever said that we would marry? And besides, who said I even like him?" I argued.
"Come on, Kat, I know you do."
"Okay, I do. But, come on, its not gonna go far even if we do hook up. He has his own destiny, you know what's gonna happen." I glanced back over at our table where I saw Sam stand up and Frodo grab his arm.
"Come on, lets go hang with Lil and Rosie," she said and we tried to make our way back over to them when we saw Sam go flying at Rosie and they started spinning around in a jig.
"Whoa!"
I turned around and next thing I knew I was on ground with Frodo on top of me. "Ur, hi. Having fun, Frodo?" He lifted his head so his face was right in front of mine.
"Yeah, actually I am." He stood up and helped me to my feet. "So sorry about that, Merry and Pippin decided they wanted to teach me how to fly."
I laughed. "It's alright." I turned and saw Sam and Rosie were spinning about with a group of hobbits circled around them. "Where are those two imps anyway?" I asked looking around.
"Dunno. They were over there just two seconds ago."
"Oh, great, they're off causing trouble again."
"How do you know?"
"Don't ask, I just do," I replied. Right after I said that a tent went flying in the air and a huge dragon leapt out from underneath it. I turned back to Frodo. "Told ya."
The dragon started to swoop down towards us. Mass confusion started among the guests. Hobbits running and screaming, children calling for their parents, and tables were being knocked over. And in the midst of all this, Bilbo was walking causally to the food tent. Frodo and I ran over to him.
"Watch out for the dragon," Frodo said.
"What dragon? There hasn't been a dragon in these parts for over a thousand ye-ars!" Bilbo managed to say while we knocked him to the ground as the dragon flew past our heads.
We looked on as the dragon flew up into the air once again and blasted into a shower of sparks. Lauren came over to us and helped us to our feet.
"When I find those two, I am gonna kill 'em!" she said. "I just got trampled by a group of children, literally."
"Hey, he's your boyfriend," I laughed. She just scowled at me and went on her way trying to find them.
"I feel sorry for them right now," Frodo said.
"For Gandalf's cruel and unusual punishment or my baby sister's wrath?"
"The combination of the two."
~*~
We were sitting back down at our, now somewhat broken table, eating ginormous pieces of cake when several hobbits demanded Bilbo make a speech.
"Speech! Speech!"
"Come on, Mr. Bilbo!"
He reluctantly stood up, went to the front of the party, and placed himself on an empty barrel of ale.
"My dear Bagginses and Boffins, Tooks and Brandybucks, Gubbs, Chubbs, Hornblowers, Bolgers, Bracegirdles, Tamsins, and Proudfoots!"
"Proudfeet!" an old Proudfoot shouted.
"Proudfoots," he continued, "Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday! Alas, eleventy one years is much too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits! I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve!" Everyone sat silent for a moment trying to figure out what he had said. He put his hands behind his back. "I have things to do. I've put this off for far too long. I regret to announce this is the end! I'm going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell!" he took a last long look at Frodo. "Goodbye." And he slipped on the ring and vanished.
Everyone sat still, bewildered. They all just stared at the spot Bilbo was in two seconds ago, as if he was gonna reappear.
"I can't believe it," Frodo thought aloud, "He'd been talking for so long about leaving, I doubted he would really do it."
I stood up and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Come on, there's no need to worry. He's just staying with the elves."
"What if I never see him again?"
"You will, I can promise you that."
"How do you know that I will, though?"
"Just think of what I said about Merry and Pippin earlier and trust me on that."
~*~
"Bilbo!" Frodo called as he ran into Bag End. "Bilbo?" He looked down at his feet and picked up the ring Bilbo had left on the floor right in front of the door. I ran right in after him and ended up bumping into him. I saw the ring, with all of it's evil gleaming, in his outstretched hand.
::Nasty, evil ring.::
Frodo sighed. "He's really gone then." He looked into the study where Gandalf was sitting in front of the fireplace smoking his pipe, muttering to himself. "Gandalf?" We walked into the study and Gandalf saw that Frodo had the ring.
"Bilbo's ring. He's gone to stay with the elves. He's left you Bag End, along with all of his possessions." Gandalf held out an envelope and Frodo slipped the ring inside. Gandalf sealed it with a wax seal and held it out to Frodo. "The ring is yours now." Frodo looked at him oddly as he took the envelope back from him. "Put it somewhere out of sight," he said as he rose from his chair and headed for the door, Frodo following him.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Frodo asked.
"There are things that I must see to."
"What things?"
"Questions, questions that need answering."
"But you've only just arrived! I don't understand," Frodo said just as Gandalf reached the door. He turned around and gave him an apologetic look.
"Neither do I," he knelt down and put a hand on Frodo's shoulder. "Keep it secret, keep it safe." He glanced over at me, "That goes for you too." And with that he turned and left.
Frodo glanced down at the envelope in his hand. "I have never seen Gandalf like that before. He was acting..strange."
"Paranoid is more like it," I said.
"Aye. Now where should I put this?"
~*~
Oi, I hope that wasn't too much like the movie. :P I'm trying not to go by it too much, it would annoy me to like rewrite the whole movie, if ya know what I mean. But, whatever. So, you people know the drill, press the button, leave a lil' somethin', and you make me very happy. (Yes, I am *such* a loser, I know. But it's true, my sister was very scared of me when I checked my email yesterday and I had four new reviews waiting for me. I love you guys, you rock!)
