I smiled, and silently laughed with Sam as we sat looking for his lost pipe in the bush under Bilbo's window. Then we heard an old voice say something about evil, and we tuned into what was being said. We heard something, well, a lot of something's about a ring, and the end of the world. We made a rustling noise as we stood up so we could hear better. All of a sudden Sam was lifted up by the old person, I recognized him as Gandalf.
"Samwise Gamgee have you been eavesdropping?" Gandalf asked. "I haven't been droppin'' no eves, sir, honest. I was just looking for my pipe." Sam said. "How much did you hear?" Gandalf asked. "N-nothing important. That is, I heard a good deal about a ring, and a dark lord, and something about the end of the world but please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me. Don't turn me into anything... unnatural," Sam said. "I have a job for you to do Samwise Gamgee." Mr. Gandalf said.
I jumped up, and down to see what was going on. I was jumping up when I jumped to high, and fell straight on my butt. "Owe!" I said. All of a sudden I was pulled through the window, and I was standing next to Sam. "Who are you?" Mr. Gandalf asked. "I'm Mindy, that's all I know Mr. Gandalf, sir." I said. "Well, you are going to go with Mr. Frodo, and Mr. Samwise. You and Sam will be at Mr. Frodo's side to Mordor." Mr. Gandalf said. "Mordor?" I asked. "Mordor." He said. "Uh...is that like in Hollywood or something?" I asked. "Huh?" They all asked looking at me weird. "Never mind!" I said. A man ran over to us from no where, and handed me a map of Middle-Earth. "It's right....here." He said pointing out Mordor. "OH! Got cha!" I said giving him a thumbs up. He ran away. "Uh...huh....annnyyywaayyy." Gandalf said. Sam was standing there scratching his head. "Go on." I said. "Yeah, well, where was I?" He asked confused. "We are going to be on Frodo's side at all times." I said. "Oh yes, you will all go to Bree, you'll meet me at the Prancing Pony." Mr. Gandalf said. "Is that a pub?" Sam asked. "It is, and an inn also." Gandalf said. I looked at him. "OK, so here's the plan, we go to out of the Shire, then find a way to Bree, then we meet you at a place called the Prancing Pony. Correct?" I asked. He nodded. "That is correct." He said. I started searching my pockets. "Where's my palm pilot when I need it? Not here, that's where!" I said. They all stared at me. "Hi, I wont do tricks so stop staring!" I said. Gandalf gave me one last weird look, and went on. "We best be off. It's best if you get there as soon as possible." He said. I nodded. "OK, so off we go." I said.
Sam and I grabbed hands while he held a walking stick in his other hand. I was scared. "Now, don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee, don't you leave him." Gandalf warned. Sam nodded. "I wont Sir." He said. "Go on now." Gandalf said giving us all a little push.
A little longer in I started humming. "What are you doing?" Frodo asked. "Humming, I can't be silent the whole way to Bree!" I said. "Well, then we all need a song to sing." Sam said. "Well, um...what about....uh..." Before I could say anything the music for "Stayin' Alive" came on. "Uh...that wouldn't be me first choice, but hey!" I said. We all started to Disco while walking. After a while of getting our groove on Sam stopped. "What's wrong Sam?" Frodo asked. "One more step, and that's further then I've ever been." Sam said. I smiled. "I'll help you Sam." I said. "All you have to do is close your eyes, and take a big leap." I said. I took a big leap, and so did Frodo. "Your turn Sam." Frodo said. Sam closed him eyes, and took a huge leap. It was too long, and he lost him balance landing on me. I let out a huge sigh of breath. "Sam, can you please get off me?" I asked out off breath. He got off. "Sorry." He said. "It's OK." I said. "See Sam, we're still in the Shire, there's nothing to worry about!" Frodo said.
All of a sudden there was a rustle in the corn stalks. And Merry, and Pippin ran into us. "Merry! Pippin! What ARE you doing?" I asked. "Nothing, but I'd suggest you run!" Merry yelled. We heard someone yell. "You've been in Farmer Maggot's crop again!" Frodo said. "Farmer Maggot?" I asked. I stopped, and laughed. Then I looked up seeing everyone far ahead of me. "Fine, don't wait for me or anything!" I said out loud, although they couldn't hear. I ran as fast as I could I caught up to them, and ended up running past Sam, and Pippin. All of a sudden Merry and Frodo stopped causing me to run into them, and Sam and Pippin run into me. We all rolled down a large hill.
"BLOODY HELL! THAT HURT! Why prey-tell did we stop?" I asked. "Well, we were using the shortcut." Merry said. "Shortcut? To what?" Sam asked. "MUSHROOMS!" Pippin said yelling. He ran towards the mushrooms. Frodo stood in the middle of the road looking really weird. "Get off the road." He said not moving. "Uh...wha? Why?" I asked. "Get off the road." He said again. "Dude, a little bossy aren't we?" I said. "GET OFF THE ROAD!" Frodo yelled. "OK!" I said. We all ran under this tree's roots. I was about ready to be sick cause there were bugs every where. I made a disgusted face. Then this really freaky black rider...person...thing came looking for us, but left without finding us.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?" Merry asked. "I need to get out of the Shire." Frodo said. "Buckleberry Ferry." Merry said. We all started running. "Buckleberry Ferry? What kind of weird name is that?" I asked as we ran. "It's our life savor so don't ask questions, just be thankful for it!" Sam said. "Geeze! You guys sure give a new meaning to the saying 'there are no stupid questions.'" I said. We finally reached Buckleberry Ferry. I started laughing as I thought of the name. "Buckleberry Ferry...ha ha ha!" I said laughing. Merry gave me an evil glance. "Whoa! Sorrrreyy!" I said. We all got onto a conveniently placed boat. "FRODO! RUN!" We all yelled seeing a black rider...person...thing chasing after him. As he was running all of a sudden the slow motion kicked on and "Chariots of Fire" started playing as he ran, and we all called for him in deep, slow voices. Then he made a huge leap onto the boat, and everything started going at a regular pace. The rider stopped, and looked at us. I stuck my tong out at him, and yelled "NA-NA NA boo boo! You can't get us!" Everyone looked at me weird again, I was really getting tired of the weird looks. "OK, any more weird looks, and I will tackle the person looking at me!" I said. They all nodded. "It's just, you're kind of weird for a hobbit." Sam said. "Well, that's cause well, I'm not sure if I'm a hobbit or not." I said. "Oh..." Pippin said.
We all dramatically looked ahead, and a light shined on us from out of no where. "This is getting REALLY weird!" I said.
"Samwise Gamgee have you been eavesdropping?" Gandalf asked. "I haven't been droppin'' no eves, sir, honest. I was just looking for my pipe." Sam said. "How much did you hear?" Gandalf asked. "N-nothing important. That is, I heard a good deal about a ring, and a dark lord, and something about the end of the world but please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me.
