Chapter Twelve: Memory Returned:
The cries of joy were heard from small Hobbit children as they saw Gandalf make his way towards the festival. The old wizard laugh. "All right, all right… That's enough go on!" he said to them after they had crowed around. The Hobbit did as they were told and went back to the to enjoying the festival.
Gandalf had not come alone. He was joined with his friends Frodo and Bilbo. "Now, where is Primrose?" asked Gandalf.
They scanned over the area. They soon found who they were looking for. They saw Primrose with Pippin over at a nearby table talking. Merry was with them as well.
"Hey Pip," Primrose said. "Who is that?"
Pippin looked into the direction where she had pointed. A smile came upon his face. "It's Gandalf!"
"Gandalf?" she asked.
"Yes." Merry replied. "He's the one who might be able to find out who you are."
"Come on then!" said Pippin as he stood up. He took Primrose's hand and they made their way over to Gandalf. Merry followed close behind them.
"Gandalf!" Merry said as he and his two friends and he were with Gandalf. "You have finally arrived!"
"Indeed I have." he replied with a smile. He then saw Primrose. "You must be Primrose."
"That's right." she said. "I am told you are the one who might be able to find out who I am."
"That is right, but I can not promise you anything." Gandalf responded.
"I understand."
They were about to continue when they heard a familiar voice call to them. It was Sam. He came up to them. Rosie was with him.
"Hello Gandalf sir." Sam said. "How are you?"
"I am well." he answered. "And you?"
"The same."
The group of company started talking. They had asked Gandalf many times if he knew anything about Primrose. He had said: "No, not yet."
They were disappointed, but Primrose took it the hardest. "I do not think I'll ever find out who I am." with that she walked off.
Gandalf let out a sigh, and Pippin had followed Primrose.
"What don't you all go back to the festival." suggested Bilbo. "I need to talk to Gandalf for a moment."
The group of friends did as told. When they were alone, Bilbo asked: "Are you sure you don't anything about her?"
"Yes, I do know something about her." he said to the elder Hobbit.
"Then why didn't you say anything?" Bilbo asked. "We need find out who she is so we can return her to her home." he continued. "She might have a family waiting for her."
"I did not want to say anything because I did not to scare the others."
"So you do know where she's from?"
"Yes, she is not of this world."
Primrose had walked off not too far from the festival. "Primrose! Please wait!" She had stopped so he could catch up with her.
"Pippin, just leave me alone." Primrose had said this rather harshly. She sighed when she saw the sad look upon her friends face. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you."
"It's all right."
"No, it's not." she replied. "Nothing is all right!" Primrose went on. "Your friend Gandalf was not much help." she said. "How will I find out who I am?"
"Hey," said Pippin as he embraced her. "It's okay. We will find out who you are. I promise."
When they pulled apart Primrose smiled at him. "Thank you."
"Not a problem." he replied. "Now, let's go back to the festival."
"Okay." she said as he took her hand into his.
They walked back. When they were half way there, Primrose started to feel uncomfortable. She had stopped walking.
"Are you okay?" Pippin asked with concern.
"No." she answered as she put her other hand upon her forehead.
Images started going through her mind. Images and Names. Names that she new. People and places she had once known. Her memory was coming back to her.
"Primrose?" said Pippin as he looked at her. She didn't look so well.
'Primrose?' she thought. 'That's not my name… Callie… Callie Walker is my name and I'm from another time and place!'
Callie looked at Pippin. "No, this isn't happening!" She let go of Pippin's hand.
"What's going on?" Pippin was starting to get really worried. "Primrose?"
"No, stop calling me that!" Callie yelled at him. "That's not who I am!"
Pippin watched as she ran away. She was going into the direction of Bilbo's home. Pippin made his way back to his friends.
"Gandalf! Bilbo! Frodo!" he yelled as came up to them. "Something is wrong with Primrose!"
"What?" everyone had asked at once.
"I don't know what happened." Pippin said to them. "I said 'Primrose' to her and she started to look ill and told me that's not what her name was."
"She's remembered then…" said Gandalf.
The company of friends made their way back to Bilbo's Hobbit hole. Pippin had told them where she had went. Bilbo had asked Merry, Sam, and Rosie to wait outside. They did as told.
"Primrose!" called out Pippin. "Primrose!"
Callie was in her room where she was staying. She heard her friends call for her. 'How can this be?' she asked herself. 'I should not be here!'
"Primrose!" her friends continued to call for her.
She finally went out to see them. "There you are!" Pippin said when he had seen her. "You scared me, are you all right?"
Callie shook her head no. "No, I'm not all right." she finally said. There was a long pause before she said to them: "I know who I am."
"That is great news then." Bilbo replied.
"No, it's not." she said.
"Why is that?" Frodo asked. "I thought you would be thrilled to find out who you are."
"The reason I am sad is because I am not from this world and I can not stay here."
