Chapter Two: Whole Lotta Rosie
Disclaimer: We don't own AC/DC either.
Sam walked up to the door of his hobbit hole sadly. He didn't want to do this. But he knew it was necessary. He timidly opened the door. "Rosie? Are you still awake?"
Then he saw her sitting in a rocking chair with a lock of her hair curling under her chin. "You're leaving again, aren't you?"
"Rose – "
"It's okay," she said, getting up. "You were destined to be in the fellowship, and I can't change that. But sometimes I wish that you had a bit more time for me....even though I know it's for the best."
"Rosie you're making this so hard for me."
"I know. But still....just think of me while you're gone. I'll talk to the hobbits around here so I won't get lonely, but please hurry and get back."
"I will," Sam assured her. "I love you so much." He walked over to her.
"I love you too," Rosie whispered.
Sam took her in his arms and took her for a kiss that would hopefully last her several months. But all good things must come to an end, and with that, Sam left his home once again.
Sam walked back into the tavern. "Are you ready?"
Katie looked at him impatiently. "I thought you'd never get back. OF COURSE we're ready."
"You obviously have no heart," Kay teased her.
"You're right," Katie admitted. "My soul is black. My heart is an endless vacuum of all things bad. I never plan to find love. My mommy never took me to the circus as a child."
"Touching," Kayla said, smacking her across the head.
Pippin looked at Katie. "You'll find love someday. I know it."
Merry looked at Pippin with eyes as wide as ale mugs. "Pip? You can be sentimental? You're surprising me!"
Pip shrugged. "It happens to the best of us."
Katie rolled her eyes. "Let's get out of this hell-hole."
"The Shire isn't a hell-hole!" Frodo exclaimed.
"No, but this despicable tavern certainly is."
Kayla took off her cloak and threw it aside. "It's warm out tonight. We won't be needing these. We should pack them for later."
Frodo's eyes were about to fall out. Kayla wore a green tunic with knives attached at her waist. Her boots went up to mid-thigh, and he was sure she had some daggers in there too. She was one nice looking woman, Frodo thought.
"Well, if you insist," Katie said. She took off her cloak. She wore a skimpy blue tunic that left little to the imagination. Her boots were closer to being shoes and were cut at the ankle. She had a full-length sword in a scabbard at her belt. Pippin picked up the cloak she had set in the floor.
"I have a sack, would you like me to carry it?"
Katie looked at Pip suggestively. "I'm sure you have a very nice sack."
Pip's ears turned red. "That's not what I meant."
Katie laughed and patted his cheek fondly. "I know."
They set out of the tavern with nothing but a few changes of clothes packed and some food they had 'borrowed' from the barkeeper. No one saw them leave the Shire – everyone was asleep.
Or so they thought.
Down at the Gamgee house, a light is still on and when the person waiting in the window sees the six shadowy figures leave the tavern, the light goes off, and another shadowy figure trails behind the slightly revised fellowship.
"You think you could leave me behind," a voice says from behind.
Heads twirl around. "Rosie!" Sam exclaimed. "I told you to stay home!"
Rosie took Sam and kissed him with such ferocity that there was a "Oooooh" in unison from the fellowship....Pip was tempted to get out his video camera, if only they had been invented yet. When she finally let go, all Sam could say was, "You're coming with me."
"Right on!" Pippin shouted. He looked curiously at Katie. "You fancy a go?"
"Not on your life, Pip," Katie said with a laugh.
"I fancy a go," Kay piped up. "Who's willing?"
Everyone took a step back.
"I was just joking!" Kayla assured them. "Er – I think."
They continued on, for their journey had only started, and they still hadn't made it out of the Shire, and to find Torak, this could take a while.
They traveled all night uneventfully, with Frodo realizing how much he missed life on the road. His adventure wasn't over after all, and that actually made him happy. Another month or so on the road would do him good. Especially while running around pretty young women instead of ugly old men.
By morning they had made it to the village of Bree, which brought back memories for the hobbits. It seemed like only yesterday when Pippin got drunk and made a fool of himself. "Yes I know a Baggins. Frodo Baggins, sitting right over there in the corner. He's my mother's aunt's..."
The walked into the Prancing Pony, which was under new management. A young half elf/half hobbit lass named Bethany had taken over it when the old manager died. A half elf/half hobbit was very rare indeed, but her parents had met on the road and despite vast racial differences, decided to wed. Bethany herself was a girl of medium height with amber hair, sharp ears, and large feet, but they weren't hairy. She could pass for a human if it weren't for the ears, Frodo thought.
Merry walked up to the counter. "We'll need four rooms."
"FOUR?" the rest half-shouted.
"Well yes, one for Sam and Rosie, one for me, one for Frodo and Kayla, and one for Pip and Katie."
"Do I smell smut?" Bethany asked with sparkling eyes.
"No, false alarm," Kayla disagreed. "Seven rooms. We're on a mission."
"We don't have that much money," Katie said, pulling out her purse. "We actually only have enough for four."
"Okay then," Kayla said, "Me in a room, you in one, Sam and Rosie in one, and the other three in one."
"Hey! That's not fair!" Frodo objected.
"Okay, me and Kayla, Sam and Rosie, Frodo, and Merry and Pippin."
"Why does Frodo get his own room?"
"OKAY!" Katie shouted. "We'll go with the original. Merry gets his own room, the rest share with your respected smut partner."
A circle of wicked smiles swept the fellowship.
"Well then if that's settled...." Katie took Pip's hand. "Me and Pip are going to get some sleep."
"I bet," Kayla snorted.
"Well you won't be exactly catching shut-eye either!"
"Good point," she admitted.
Katie dragged Pip up to one of the rooms. Pip had an awed look on his face, like he was experiencing a dream come true. He was MOST alarmed when Katie began taking off her clothes.
"What – what - you were serious?"
"I sleep nude."
Pip smiled. "So do I."
Kayla and Frodo sat awkwardly together on the bed. "Well..." Kayla said. "I guess we'd better go to sleep."
"I suppose," Frodo says. He leaned in closer to Kayla and kissed her with a level of passion that was slightly disturbing. Not that she minded, of course.
"I love you Frodo," Kayla said between breaths.
"You're just horny."
"It could be that. But I'm hoping it's that I love you."
"Well in that case," he took off his shirt. Articles of clothing began to scatter on the floor...
Sam held Rosie close to his heart as she drifted off into sleep. He was so glad that she had came with them. He probably wouldn't have made it without her. He smelled the sweet aroma of her hair and then kissed it.
"Sam?" she whispered.
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I know. I love you too."
He kissed her once more before falling to sleep.
Aw....isn't that sweet...
