Chapter Six: A Pleasant Run In:
The next morning Primrose had come back to the hole. She found a worried Frodo and Bilbo waiting for her. She explained to them she had spent the night at Rosie's. When that was said the two had calmed down.
"All right, well I have made some breakfast so come and eat." Bilbo said as he led the way into the kitchen.
"So did you have fun at Rosie's last night?" asked Frodo as he and Primrose sat down at the table.
"Yes, very much." she answered.
Bilbo joined them at the table, and places their plates, along with his down. The three started eating. There was a short silence before Primrose started a new conversation.
"I'm sure Sam all ready told you what he did last night."
"He did." answered Frodo. "How did you convince him?"
"I told him life is short and things should be done or they will never get done."
"Very good advice lass." Bilbo replied.
"Thank you." she said.
"I'm glad he took your advice." said Frodo to Primrose. "I don't think he would have ever done it." he let out laugh.
They had finished their breakfast, and Bilbo took up their plates.
"So what should we do today?" Primrose asked.
Bilbo turned to the two. "Well, I need to go some things from the market." he said to them. "If you two would like to go you may if you wish."
"Sure, why not?" said Primrose.
"Well, I was hoping to go see Sam today and talk to him." Frodo replied. "You know about him and Rosie?"
"You can my lad, but I really need these items from the marketplace." said Bilbo showing the two a small piece of parchment that had items listed on it.
"How about I go get them for you so Frodo can go talk to Sam?" Primrose asked.
"I don't know." replied Bilbo. "You still do not know this area well."
"I know I do not." she said. "But how will I learn?" Primrose asked. "I mean, it looks like I will be staying here for awhile and I will need to get places without Frodo helping me."
Bilbo let out a sigh. "You are right." he handed her the parchment. "But if you should get lost, just find a nearby hole, and say that you are lost and you are a friend of Bilbo Baggins." he said. "They should help you then."
"All right, thank you." she replied as she took the parchment. "I shall be back with these items shortly."
"Yes, and I shall be back shortly as well." Frodo said. "See you in awhile uncle."
The two headed out the hole and closed the door behind them when they went outside.
"I guess I owe you one." said Frodo.
"It's not a problem." Primrose said.
"I would have went to the marketplace but I just really want to talk to Sam."
"I understand." she replied.
"I still can not believe you convinced him to ask her."
"I know, me either." she said with a smile.
Then the two went separate ways. Primrose found herself taking the same path that she had taking the other day when Frodo had showed her around the Shire. The marketplace was not far from where Frodo and Bilbo lived. As she passed several holes, some Hobbits were out tending to their garden or sweeping their 'welcome' mat.
Primrose said: "Good day." to them as she passed but only some of them would say that back. She ignored the ones who did not say "Good day" back to her and kept on walking. She was half way to the market when she heard a familiar voice say:
"Hello Primrose." It was Pippin.
She jumped slightly because she did not see him. Primrose turned around. "Good day Pippin." She looked around and could that Merry was not with him. "Where is your friend Merry at this morning?"
"Oh, he's all ready off at Maggot's." he answered. Pippin let out a laugh. "I kind of over slept this morning."
"Ah, I see." she replied.
"So where are you off to this fine morning?" he asked.
"I'm off to the market to get Bilbo some items." answered Primrose, showing him the parchment that Bilbo had given her earlier.
"Oh," said Pippin. "Where is Frodo, shouldn't he be with you?"
"No," she answered. "He had to go talk to Sam this morning so I offered to go to the market for Bilbo."
"Then, would you like me to come with you?" he asked, slightly blushing.
"If you wish." she said to him with a smile. "But don't you have to meet with Merry?"
"I do but he won't mind." Pippin replied. "Trust me."
With that said, the two started walking towards the market. They talked most of the way. Mainly about what they were interested in, of course, Pippin did most of the talking since Primrose could not remember her past.
"I also like to sing." said Pippin after awhile.
"Oh, really?" Primrose asked. "Then may I hear you?"
"What sing?" he asked. "I guess." Pippin said. "As long as you do not laugh."
"I promise." she replied, putting up her right hand.
When she had put it down, Pippin started to sing a song that Bilbo had tought him. The song was in good length but Primrose did not mind. She thought that he had a lovely voice. When he had finished she clapped a bit. Pippin laughed and took a bow.
"Well done." replied Primrose as she stopped clapping.
"Thank you, thank you." he said with a laugh.
"No, thank you for the entertainment." said Primrose. "But you should go meet your friend." she said. "I think we are here."
Hobbits were busy passing by. They were at the marketplace. Primrose looked at the parchment.
"Well," she said to Pippin, looking up from the parchment. "I think I can handle it from here."
"All right if you're sure." Pippin replied.
"Yes, I'm sure." she answered.
"Okay," he said as he turned to leave. Then he stopped and turned back around. "Hey," he said to her.
"Yeah?"
"If you want to later, you should join Merry and I." Pippin replied with a smile. "I'm sure you know where we will be."
"Maybe." she said. "Good day." she watched him as he walked off.
Primrose then walked into the marketplace and started getting Bilbo's items that were upon the parchment. As she got the items, she thought to herself. 'I don't know why Rosie would warn about Pippin.' she paused for a moment. 'He seems like a nice fellow, along with Merry.'
