Are you sur you won't come, Gandalf? Frodo asked. The ship would be taking off any time soon and Frodo really wanted him to come.
Frodo, you know my place is now here the wizard told him, but we shall meet again.
Goodbye Bilbo. I shall miss you very much Frodo said trying hard to look brave but looking more sorrowful.
And I shall miss you to, Frodo my lad they gave each other a quick hug before Frodo hopped on the boat and it started to sail. Frodo was waving to them from the back of the boat.
Goodbye Gandalf, Galadriel, Bil..... but he was already out of earshot.

The skies were gray on his journey to the Shire. Never once did he see the sun and it often rained. Even when the weather was at it's worst he never felt sad and would only be wondering how close he was getting to the Shire. Most of the time he would think of his old friends Sam, Pippin and Merry, and he also thought of his old house that Sam was now living in.
Elanor! She would be around four now! Frodo suddenly burst out. Luckily he was in his cabin and no one heard him. His cabin mate (who's name was Olen) was up on deck. He was a rather jolly little fellow but i fear you won't be hearing much of him.
Frodo went up on deck to watch the water. It was a pale purple-gray. He watched it lap up against the side of the boat. His mind then drifted back to the adventure he had four years ago. He remembered the party, the riders at the Ford, Gollum, the mountain, the swamps, the ring, the eye, the eagles, and everything else. Frodo honestly felt as though he might cry, so he decided to stop thinking of that and start thinking of dinner. It was after all getting late.

The boat pulled up along the bank and some men jumped out to tie it off. Frodo had all his belongings in a small pack over his shoulder. He bid farewell to Olen who was sad to see him go, Then he got off the boat and onto the little dirt road.
He was forced to stay with the boats men to help repair a small leak in the boat before he could set off for the Shire.
It had taken a good four days to repair the boat but he was very glad once he got on his way. It took him a day of walking since the Boat got off coarse on the way, but it gave him a chance to look at the scenery and it was the he realized how much he had miss the Shire.

Frodo reached the Shire rather early that morning. He was a bit dirty and felt a little unrespectable, but he straitened his back and walked towards the door of his old house. Before knocking he looked around. Some of the houses had been burnt (more then some). He looked towards the old stone e wall. strange black things were crawling among the rocks. He knocked on the door after shaking his head abit. The door opened and to Frodo's surprise there was a small hobbit looking up at him. She had bright red hair and brilliant green eyes.
Are you one of daddy's friends ? she asked. He gave her a warm smile.
You could say that. Now go tell him to get the door Frodo answered. She gave a polite little bow, then ran off into the kitchen. Sam came to the door. He stopped at the threshold and jaw dropped open. Then he hugged Frodo very tightly around the neck. The sudden force knocked Frodo off balance.
Sam, I didn't come here to be killed Frodo laughed when Sam loosened the grip on his neck.
We thought you were dead to us already, Mr. Frodo Sam answered. Sam helped Frodo up and they went inside. They had alot of catching up to do and started on that right away. It turns out that Elanor had been told alot about Frodo and was very excited to meet him. Rose was also very pleased to see Frodo and decided to make a special dinner for the occasion.
After a very large dinner Frodo went to bed never realizing the strange glow of pink eyes out side his window. He slept very peacefully but some thing not so peaceful was watching him.........to be continued.
