A/N: Can you believe the last chapter was called cute and fluffy??? I'm not saying who, but someone actually said that. Personally, I think that person is nuts. ~laughs~

~pause~

Ok then. Once again, Lafi isn't here, so I'm stuck. Let's see how bad I mess this up. But I was just inspired greatly by the poems of Gods and Goddesses. Go look at their stuff if you have writer's block.

Maybe if I'm lucky, she'll show up halfway again!

~*Tafi*~



Bilbo dealt with Gandalf's snide remarks for the rest of the day. But Gandalf quickly shut up when he saw the huge bowl of mashed nuts on a table at the party. He figured he'd be best just not thinking about it.



A/N: Ok, not exactly halfway. But Lafi just showed up.

Lafi: Sorry I'm late, but you just started without me. ~glare~

Tafi: Ok, so let's get back to the story then!



Gandalf had better things to think about anyway. He created some "Fun In Really Easy Ways Of Real Killers" or, abbreviated, "fireworks" for a diversion. He used them very wisely. 'I'm a predator now, and predators always hunt the weak,' he thought. So, logically, he had to eat children. The brightly colored explosions excited the children and made it incredibly easy for Gandalf to lure them from the adults. One particularly fat kid wanted to know how to make a firework, so Gandalf took him away alone to show him.

Gandalf slithered back to the gathering, licking his. uh. do snakes have lips? No. But you get it, right? Good. Anyway, Gandalf was coming back to the party and had a nice large bit of meat in his stomach. He was about to start up the fireworks when someone screamed behind him.

"Oh my god! A snake!"

All the squirrels at the party screamed in reponse.

"A snake? Where?"

"Ack! There he is!"

"Everyone run away from the snake!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure that the one we worship will save us!"

Pippin called out that last remark. Merry was confused.

"Who do we worship?"

"That tall guy!"

Pippin pointed to the guy who yelled at first.

"He's taller than normal extra tall people, and he sparkles!"

Pippin ran up the tall guy like he was a tree until he was on his head.

"Protect us, oh great one!"

All the other hobbits got interested and ran around and on the tall guy. Bilbo glared at the tall guy, who seemed to be enjoying his godly treatment.

"Hey. you fat gray scruffy squirrel, why aren't you worshiping me?"

Bilbo rolled his eyes.

"You're three hours late."

"I'm neva later than an hour."

"Then you're an hour late."

"Yeah, I had some trouble finding this place. You shoulda hired someone from Middle-earth."

"I've got the money, and I like spending it."

Bilbo pointed his musical performer to the stage. Nelly sighed and walked to the stage. After all, maybe those squirrels would worship him more if they heard his music.

The squirrels did seem to love him more with his music. They had no idea what he was saying, but they loved it anyway and danced along.

"What does he mean by 'Ride Wit Me'?"

"Is that what he said?"

"I thought he said 'Rave Wit Me'."

"What does that mean?"

"I dunno."

"Well, I think he said 'Red Wick Ma'."

"What does THAT mean???"

Sam rolled his eyes at these stupid hobbits.

"He said 'Rosie', ok?"

Frodo sighed.

"Is she all you ever think about?"

"What? Sorry, I wasn't listening. I was thinking about Rosie."

"You think about her enough, but I bet you don't have the nuts to dance with her."

"You're right. I don't."

"Too bad."

Frodo pushed Sam and Sam tumbled over a few other squirrels before he fell into the arms of Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.

"Hey, you're not Ros-"

"Yeah, let's dance you little whipper-snapper!"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Frodo looked on with wide eyes.

"Oops."

Gandalf had started his fireworks again, and Merry and Pippin were the oldest ones watching. Gandalf suddenly disappeared and the fireworks stopped, but they wanted more. So they went to where the rest of them were and picked one out. Pippin chose the biggest one there, but for obvious reasons couldn't lift it. Merry whined impatiently.

"No, the smaller one! Get one we can carry!"

So Pippin got the smallest firework (the only one he could lift) and they ran away giggling.

Sam had finally gotten away from Lobelia and was chatting happily with some other hobbits when a thought came to him.

"Hey, did you realize that we're all squirrels?"

"No, not really."

"But now that you mention it."

"We are kinda fuzzy."

Sam was thinking some more.

"I wonder how that happened."

"Y-y-you wonder?"

"Yes, I wish I knew how it happened."

The other hobbits gasped.

"You're being CURIOUS, Sam!"

"How unnatural!"

The hobbits started laughing and began spreading the gossip.

"Did you hear?"

"Sam was curious!"

"Sam? Don't know him. I only know good normal hobbits."

"Mr. Frodo!"

"Er. I mean. uh. Sam was probably just joking."

Pippin lit the fuse and Merry freaked.

"You're supposed to put it in the ground!"

"It is in the ground!"

"No, this is UNDER ground!"

Pippin and Merry run out of Merry's hobbit hole and into a tent.

"No, Pip! Not in there!"

But it was too late. Pippin dropped the little firework because it burnt his finger. And moments after it hit the ground, Gandalf's tiniest firework exploded. Merry and Pippin gasped. A small orange butterfly flew around the tent a bit. It sat on Pippin's nose for a second, and then landed on Merry's arm. But then the cute little butterfly turned into a fire butterfly and Merry's coat went on fire. Merry and Pippin ran out of the tent screaming. They ran around in circles until they ran into each other, and then both went ablaze. They ran into a few other hobbits on their way to the stream. Those few ran into another few, and that few into another few, until almost all of the squirrels were running around setting tents and table ablaze.

Nelly, looking at the madness, decided to stop mid song to start singing "Hot in Herre"
