New Story: Thanks for the reviews for the insane story.

Chapter.

After a few day visit they finally had to go home. Bilbo was sad to leave and vowed to come back to the Last Homely House again, but for now, he would be happy to return to his house in Hobbiton. Sandra was now leading the way back home, sadly they had to leave StormGail and Reeds and Chance in Rivendell, but they had promised to visit again.

Bilbo said, depressed, "I will miss them very much." He rubbed the horse's neck, trying not to think about it very much. Bilbo looked at Sandra as she nodded. He wondered how used to traveling she was...

Sandra gave Bilbo a smile, "Its always hard to leave the people you love the most." She looked down at the map she had, not noticing Bilbo's thoughtful look. He was thinking about how much Sandra may have missed him. She did write him almost twice a week, he had noticed that by the date on the letters he had received. However, she could never mail them until about a month after she wrote them. He would get 4-5 letters a week from Sandra.

Bilbo looked at the ground as they went, thinking about how much he would miss StormGail and Chance. He didn't really know Reeds that well so it wasn't like he would miss him very much.

Sandra was very happy looking at the horse and the map, after she figured out where they were going she placed a little needle on the place where they would be stopping for for a little while.

By the time they got home Lobilia was waiting their and trying to pick the lock on the house. Bilbo cleared his throat behind Lobilia as Sandra giggled, "Lobilia, are you trying to break into my house?" His voice was laced with amusement.

Lobilia stood up the correct way and looked offended, even though that was clearly what she was trying to do, "No, of course not! Why on earth would you come up with such a ridiculous thing?!"

Bilbo pretended to look thoughtful, "Well, maybe because you where trying to pick the lock on my door?" He grinned a little and then opened the hobbit hole door himself.

Bilbo walked in and started cooking some food for dinner. He heard Lobilia muttering about infuriating hobbits. Bilbo smiled to himself and Sandra sat down at the table. Bilbo chuckled and served Sandra her food, "Here you go, my dear."

Sandra took the food and smiled at Bilbo, "And thank you, dear Bilbo."
