Chapter Thirteen: Goodbye:
Frodo, and Pippin had just found out what Bilbo and Gandalf all ready had known. That Primrose was from another world. Bilbo and Gandalf knew that the Pippin and Frodo would not take this well.
"What are you talking about Primrose?" asked Frodo.
"My name isn't Primrose." Callie said sadly. "My name is Callie Walker and I'm from another world called Earth." she continued. "I came here by accident." Callie explained. "The last thing I remember is falling in a river and then waking up here."
"That would explain why we found you in the pond then." said Frodo.
"Yes, I guess it would." Callie replied.
"I think we better get the others in here and let them know about this." Frodo said to Gandalf. "Can you go and let them in?"
"Of course." he answered. Gandalf went to the door. He saw the others had worried looks upon their faces. "Don't worry, she's okay but you need to come in and here what is going on."
Sam, Rosie, and Merry made their way inside. They went to the living room, followed by Gandalf. When they were there, Callie told them what she had just told Frodo and Pippin.
"I guess the question now is, how do we get you home?" Bilbo said, breaking the silence that had now come between the company of friends.
That's when the group of friends turned to Gandalf. "Do you think you can find a way to get her home?" asked Rosie.
"I'm not sure." he replied. "It seems to me that there must have been a rip in time and space."
"Is that even possible?" asked Merry.
"I guess it is if that's how Callie ended up here." Sam said to Merry.
"I might be able to get her back home." said Gandalf, eyeing Callie. "I have been able to walk through time, space, and dimension before and I might be able to do it again."
"You can do that Gandalf?" asked Rosie.
"My dear, a wizard is cable of anything if one put his mind to it." the wizard answered.
"However, it is very rare if a wizard can do so."
"But it is possible though, right?" Frodo asked. "You can get Prim... I mean Callie home then?"
"Yes." he answered.
They all turned to Callie who had been quiet. She wasn't the only one who had been queit the whole time. Pippin had also kept silence.
"I have a quick question." said Pippin suddenly. "What if Callie doesn't want to go home?"
"Pip, what are you talking about?" Merry asked.
"I'm just been thinking..."
"Pippin, you know she doesn't belong here." Frodo said.
Pippin was about to say something but Callie stopped him. "Look, just hold up a minute." she said. She turned to Gandalf. "Do you think it would be all right if I spoke to him a minute?"
"Of course." Gandalf answered. "Come along everyone, let's go to another room to give them some time."
The others agreed and followed Gandalf to the kitchen. Pippin and Callie were now left alone.
"Pippin you know I don't belong here." Callie said to him when their friends had left.
"I know." he replied. "But before you found out who you were you seemed happy here."
"I was but now that I know whom I am, I would like to go home." she explained. "My friends are probably worried sick about me."
"But what about your friends here and me?" he asked.
Callie let out a sigh. "I don't know." she answered. "This is so unfair!" she yelled. "I mean I want to stay here with you and the others but I also want to go home!"
"Is everything all right in here?" Gandalf asked as he and the others made their way back to the living room where Callie and Pippin were.
"No, it's not." answered Callie. "I don't know what to do Gandalf." she said. "Part of me wants to stay here and the other part of me wants to go home."
"My dear, what does your heart tell you?" Gadalf asked.
"My heart is telling me that I need to go home." she replied sadly.
"Then you should listen to your heart." he said to her.
"He is right you know." said Bilbo. "Everyone has a place, and your place is in your own world, even though we all wish otherwise."
There was silence before Gandalf said: "I guess we should try to get you home then."
"I guess you're right." Callie replied.
"Then I guess you will need your old clothes." said Rosie. She turned to Gandalf. "Can you wait a few minutes so I can go get them?"
"Yes." he answered.
"I'll return in a moment." Rosie said.
"I'll come with you Rosie." said Sam.
The two headed out of the door. It didn't take them long. When the two had returned, Rosie handed the clothes to Callie. Callie then excused herself and went to go change. While she was gone, the others talked.
"Are you all right Pip?" asked Merry, who could see that Pippin was not taking this well.
"No." he answered. "I'll agree with Callie when she said, 'It's not fair.'"
All Merry could do was place a comforting hand on Pippin's shoulders and say: "It will be okay Pip, I promise."
When he had removed his hand, Callie had come back out. She was dressed and ready to go.
"It's time to get you home." Gandalf said.
"How will we do this Gandalf?" asked Frodo.
"We will go to where you found her and hopefully, it will go from there."
The company of friends left Bilbo's Hobbit hole and made their way to the pond where Sam and Frodo had found Callie. Frodo and Sam led the way. The only light source they had was that of Gandalf's magical staff. It wasn't a bright light source but it gave off enough light to see where they were going.
When they had arrived at the pond it was quiet. Then when Gandalf said: "We must go quickly." he informed the company. "We do not know when and if the portal of time and space can close."
"I guess it's goodbye then." Frodo said to Callie.
"Yes, I guess it is." she replied. "Boy, how I'm going to miss all of you." Callie started to say. She got a little teary eyed as she did so.
"Were going to miss you to." said Rosie, first. She hugged her friend and then parted.
"Thank you again for making me all those clothes." Callie said.
Sam was next. "I hope you get home all right." he said as he hugged her then parted.
"I will." she replied.
Next came Merry. "I'm really going to miss you coming along with us to Maggots." he said as he hugged her and then parted.
"Yeah, I am too."
Frodo was next in line. "I guess this is goodbye."
"I guess so." Callie responed. "But I'll tell you what, you and Bilbo were nice enough to take me in, and I will never forget that." she hugged Frodo, and then Bilbo. They parted.
Finally, it was Pippin's turn. "I really don't want to say goodbye."
"Me either." Callie said. "But who knows, maybe we might see each other again someday."
Pippin didn't say a thing, he just hugged her tightley, and then parted. He didn't want to let go but he had to. She then turned to Gandalf and said: "I'm ready now."
"All right." he said to her. "Stand by me."
Flash! There had been a great flash of light. When the light was gone, Gandalf and Callie had vanished. Callie was going home.
