(don't worry, it's nothing nasty in this part. i promise.)
Chapter Eight: Caught In The Act:
Primrose had said "Goodnight" to Bilbo and made her way into her room. She had changed into her night clothes that Rosie had made her. They were to her liking. 'I must pay Rosie back somehow.' she thought as she climbed into bed.
Primrose had gone to sleep as soon as her head hit her pillow. Her dreams were filled with images she had never seen before. One image kept on popping up over and over again. The image she saw within her head had been what looked a creek with a log across it.
In the dream, she had started to walk across it. Then before she took another step something had caught her eye. In the woods that lay on the other side, she saw some move. Primrose couldn't see the object's face but it wore a grey cloak and a pointy hat. She heard it whisper something. Then when she continued to walk across the log, she lossed her balance and fell into the river. Her world went black...
Primrose sat straight up in her bed. Sweat began to drip from her forehead. She then tried to calm down. "Just a dream." she said to herself. "Just a dream."
She then looked around her room. "Good, I'm still here." she said. "I'm at Bilbo's Hobbit hole." Primrose replied as she tried to calm herself.
A few minutes later, after she had calmed herself down, she had tried to go back to sleep. Sadly, she could not. Primrose kept hearing a rapping at her window.
She made her way to the window and was surprised who see saw when she opened it. "Pippin?" she said. "What in the world are you doing here?" Primrose asked. "Do you what time it is?"
It had gotten late in the night. The stars shown brightly outside her window. Pippin let out a laugh.
"Yes, I know." he answered in a low whisper. "Anyway, I came to ask you if you wish to join myself and Merry on a trip to Maggot's crops?"
Primrose thought a moment. "I do not know." she replied. "It's awful late and I don't want Bilbo and Frodo to worry if they find me missing."
"Do not worry." said Pippin. "We will be back before they get up."
Rosie's warning came into her mind about Pippin and Merry being troublesome Hobbits. However, she ignored that warning. "All right, let me change."
"All right."
Pippin awaited outside. A few minutes later, Primrose came out in the window. She had put on a tunic, pants, and boots that Rosie had made her. When she was on the ground next to Pippin, she asked: "Where's Merry?"
"I'm right here." a voice answered in a low whisper not too far way.
Merry had come out from a hiding place and joined Pippin and Primrose. Primrose jumped slightly as the two turned to him.
"I really don't think we should invite her along." Merry replied. "No offense milady," he said to Primrose. "But if Bilbo and Frodo find you gone, they might have our heads if they find out you are in company with us."
"Well, as I all ready said to her," said Pippin. "We should be back before the sun shows it's rays."
"All right, then let's go." Merry said.
Merry led the way as he, Pippin, and Primrose made their way to Maggot's farm. It looked very differently at night.
"How are you doing so far Primrose?" asked Pippin, sensing that she didn't feel comfortable here at night.
"I'm fine." she answered. "It's just creepy here that's all."
Merry let out a laugh. "Don't worry about." he assured. "Pip and I come here all the time and the only scary thing we run into is Maggot and his dogs other then that, there is nothing to fear."
"Besides, you have two strong Hobbit lads here if anything should pop out." Pippin said.
Primrose let out a laugh. She was starting to feel a little safer. "Okay, so what do you two here anyway?"
"Um..." started Merry. "Well, we just simply borrow some of Maggot's crops."
"Borrow?" Primrose asked, doubtfull of Merry's answer.
"Yeah, but it's not like Maggot has enough as it is." said Pippin, trying to back up Merry's answer. "He has too much so as Merry says, simply borrow some of his crops."
Primrose shook her head at them, but soon found herself joining them in "borrowing" some of Maggot's crops. However, their fun was cut short when the sound of barking dogs came to their hears.
"Oh no!" said Merry. "The dogs."
"Quick! Run!" Pippin yelled.
It was now early in the morning as the three ran from the crops and made it back to Bilbo's Hobbit hole. They were gasping for breath. When their breathing had returned to normal, Merry said: "Well, I better be off." Before he left, he said to Primrose: "It was good of you to accompany us."
"Thank you." she replied. "It was fun."
"Are you coming Pippin?" Merry asked as he started to walk off.
"Yes, I'll be along in a minute." he answered.
Merry continued on walking. Pippin turned to Primrose. "Would you like to join us tomorrow night?"
"Sure, why not?" she answered with a smile.
"Great," Pippin replied. "I guess I should be going." said he, eyeing in Merry's direction. "I shall see you tomorrow then."
"Yes," she said. "Good night."
"Good night."
Primrose watched as Pippin left. When he was out of sight, she went back through her window. When she was in her room, she closed the window. Primrose was about to get back into bed when she heard:
"And where have you been?"
She turned around to see both Frodo and Bilbo at the entrance of her room. They had caught her in the act. She would have much
explaining to do.
