Chapter Nine: Worried:
"Frodo, Bilbo, I can explain." was Primrose's reaction when she saw Bilbo and Frodo at her doorway.
"You had better." Bilbo replied. "You had us worried."
"How did you know I was gone?" she asked.
"I had come to check upon you and found you were gone." answered Frodo.
"I'm sorry to have worried you." Primrose said.
"You are forgiven." replied Bilbo. "Let us put aside this matter for now, and not talk of it until morning." he said. "We still have a few more hours unti morning so let's try to get some sleep."
Frodo and Primrose agreed. When they had left, Primrose had changed back into her night clothes. She then went to her bed and fell asleep.
When morning had come, she awoke, and changed into the outfit she wore the night before. She left her room and found Frodo and Bilbo in the living room. They did not look too happy. Primrose slowly made her way in and sat in a chair that was next to where Frodo sat. There was an awkwardd silence before Bilbo got things started.
"You have the floor lass." he said to Primorse. "Please tell us where you were last night."
"I had gone out to join Merry and Pippin." she answered, quietly.
Frodo let out a sigh. "I had a feeling they were in on this matter."
"Those two would never learn." said Bilbo.
"Oh please, do not be hard them." Primrose replied. "I only wished to join them on their outings."
"It's all right lass." assured Bilbo. "Just please next time you wonder out, please tell us."
"I will I promise." she said.
"Now, I'm going to do some cleaning in the kitchen." Bilbo said, as he got up and went to the kitchen.
Frodo and Primrose were now alone. Primrose stood up. "I wish to go out today." she said. "May I?"
Frodo stood up as well. "I do not know." he answered. "I think you should ask Bilbo."
"All right," she said as she went in the kitchen. A few minutes later she came back. "He said I may." she told Frodo.
"Where will you be going?"
"To see what Merry and Pippin are up to." answered Primrose.
Frodo let out a sigh but then let her a go. When she was gone, he joined his uncle in kitchen. "Why did you let her go?"
"Because I think she has learned her lesson." he answered. "She said she will not stay long."
"All right." replied Frodo.
Frodo had stayed and helped Bilbo clean up the kitchen. Then when that was done, a knock came to the door.
Bilbo went to answer the door. Frodo had followed him. It was Sam who was at the door. They let him.
"Well my lads, I'm off." said Bilbo. "I have some items to get at the market." he said. "I will return before lunch."
Frodo and Sam watched as Bilbo left and closed the door behind him. Sam followed Frodo into the living room.
"I'm glad you're here Sam." Frodo replied as he took a seat in an arm chair.
Sam also took a seat in another chair that was not too far from Frodo. "It's good to see you friend," he said. "You seemed worried." he went on. "What happened?"
"Primrose went out to Maggots' with Merry and Pippin last night without telling us." he answered with a sigh. "Myself and Bilbo caught her coming back before dawn's light." he informed Sam. "She had me worried Sam. Very worried."
"She is all right is she?"
"Yes, but won't be for long if she keeps on hanging out with that Fool of a Took and Brandybuck." Frodo said. "When Gandalf visits us at the festival I'm going to ask him to really give them a harsh talking to."
"Speaking of the festival," replied Sam. "It draws nearer." he stated. "Will you be taking any one Frodo?"
Frodo blushed slighlty. Sam smiled at him. "You are going to ask Primrose arn't you?"
"Well, even though she did give me a scare," he said. "I will ask her."
Sam clapped his hands. "Very well Mr. Frodo." he replied. "Rosie will be thrilled to hear this news."
Frodo continued to turn a deeper red.
"I have an idea Mr. Frodo!" said Sam suddenly. "Let's go to the festival together!"
"That is a good idea Sam." Frodo agreed.
"One question though, Mr. Frodo." said Sam. "When will you ask the lass?"
"I do not know." he answered. "Maybe in a few days."
"You better make it fast Frodo." Sam said. "For I have seen some other Hobbits look upon her with interest."
"Thank you Sam." he replied. "I will take your advise."
