Chapter Eleven: The Festival:
The night of the Harvest Festival had finally arrived. There were decorations, lights, and lots of food. There was also live music. Hobbits had gathered in a big clearing that was not far from their homes. Most of the Hobbits had arrived, however some were still getting ready.
In Bilbo's Hobbit hole, he and Frodo were all ready. They were waiting for Primrose in the living room. She had needed a little more time.
"Why do you look so sad my lad?" asked Bilbo to Frodo who had been quiet for quite some time now. Usually on the night of the festival he would be very excited but something was different this year.
"It's nothing uncle." Frodo lied.
Bilbo of course, knew that was a lie. "Now, don't take me as a fool my boy." he said. "Tell me what's bothering you."
He let out a sigh and was about to answer but Primrose had come out of her room. She was ready.
"You look lovely dear." Bilbo said as he turned his attention to her.
"Thank you." replied Primrose.
Primrose had choose to wear for tonight was the pink dress that went down to her feet, and had a golden leaf pattern upon it. She looked at Frodo, waiting for his comment bue he said nothing.
"All right," Bilbo said, breaking the silence that had come between the three. "Well, should we be on our way?"
"Not yet." said Primrose.
"Excuse me my dear?" Bilbo asked.
"Well, Pippin said he would come and pick me up here…" she paused. "I hope that's okay."
"It's fine." Bilbo answered. He then heard Frodo mumble something under his breath. Bilbo had a feeling what was going on. He made a mental note to himself to talk to Frodo later.
A few minutes later, knocking was heard at the door. "Should I get that?" asked Primrose
"No, I'll get it." Frodo said and made his way towards the door. When he answered the door, he was not surprised to see Pippin there.
"Hello Frodo." he said. "Is Primrose ready?"
"Yes, I am." she answered before Frodo could say anything. "Where's Merry?"
"He's all ready there." Pippin said. "Are you ready to go?"
"As I'll ever be." she answered with a smile.
"Shall we got then?" he asked as he offered her his arm.
"Yes," she said as she took his arm. Before they left, she turned to Bilbo and Frodo and asked: "Are you two coming?"
Frodo was about to answer but Bilbo answered first. "We will belong shortly." he said. "Gandalf will be meeting us here."
"Oh, I nearly forgot about him." Primrose replied. "Should I stay and wait with you?"
"No, you two go on ahead." Bilbo said. "Have some fun and we will be along after Gandalf arrives."
"All right." said Primrose. "We shall see you at the festival then."
The two said: "Goodbye." Before they left. Now, Bilbo and Frodo were alone.
"Uncle, I thought that we were to meet Gandalf at the festival." said Frodo.
"No, I wrote him a letter to him a few days before telling him it would be best to meet here so we can tell him about Primrose."
"How long till he arrives?" Frodo asked.
"He should arrive at any time now." answered Bilbo. "Until then, I would like to talk to you."
"About what?"
"I had asked you what was wrong with you, and you were about to answer but Primrose had cut us short."
"Uh, I really don't know how to start." Frodo start.
Bilbo let out a laugh. "I think I have a feeling on what is bothering you." he said. "You are upset that Pippin asked Primrose to the festival to the festival aren't you?"
Frodo blushed. "How do you know?"
"My boy, I am old." he said. "I know these types of things."
Frodo let out a laugh. "Old you are uncle." he said. His laughter stopped. "Is it normal to feel like this?"
"Yes my lad." Bilbo answered as he placed a comforting hand on Frodo's shoulder. "It happens to the best to us." He removed his hand and then said: "Now, I know it hurts but cheer up, Gandalf shall arrive soon."
No sooner had he said that, a knock came at the door. Bilbo went to the door and answered it. He had to look up to see the old and wise wizard who stood at entrance. The wizard had a smile on his face.
"It's good to see you old friend." Gandalf said.
"It's good to see you as well." replied Bilbo.
The two hugged each other and the parted. Then Gandalf came into the hole. He had to duck at times or he would have hit his head on the ceiling. Frodo came to where they were to greet his friend.
"Frodo my lad, how you?"
"I'm doing well." he said as he gave the wizard a hug and then parted.
"Now, not only do we have to get to the festival, but I must meet this Primrose that you told me about in your letter." Gandalf said.
"She's all ready at the festival." answered Bilbo. "We told her to go ahead because she is in company with Pippin."
"I see." Gandalf replied. "Well then, let's get to the festival shall we?" he asked.
"Right, let's go." Bilbo said.
With that, the three went to the festival. On the way, Bilbo and Frodo told how Primrose got here at Hobbiton, and what she has been doing. Now, Gandalf would finally be able to meet Primrose and hopefully help her find out who she is.
