Hi everybody! Wow thank you so much for all the reviews...it's nice to know that people are actually reading this story and like it. And if you don't like it well thanks for the input anyways because then I can improve my work..
As for explaining that this is indeed an alternate universe well it's one created from in my mind and it's the way my story goes not the way Lord of the Rings actually goes. If you don't like my story well don't read it. Also I have been requested to explain Daisy's relationship to Bilbo and Frodo. Well in the appendices at the end of Lord of the Rings there is a family tree. And on that family tree Frodo's first cousin(to the right) is named Daisy. However I made her 40 years younger so that she went along with the idea for my story better. Basically I stole her name and wrote about her. None of these characters technically are mine they all belong to tolkien and the only reason I'm writing about them is for the pleasure of writing. So without further ado....here's the next part of my story.
"Wow,that was an amazing lunch,"Frodo sighed happily.
"And this, is the life!"Pippin said, tucking his arms behind his head as he laid back.
"You've never said anything more intelligent in your life Pip!"Daisy exclaimed following her friends lead and laying back onto the soft cushion of grass. She sighed happily and allowed the sun to dance across her skin.

Daisy grimaced, rolling out from underneath the hand Merry had somehow thrown across her face while sleeping. Suddenly gasping she shot upright.
"What time is it?"she demanded.
Frodo cracked open an eye and looked up to the sky."Mmm, I'd say about time for afternoon tea."he mumbled.
"Argh!I'm late!"she shrieked, awakening the other dozing hobbits as the leapt over top of them."My parents will kill me! I've got to go,"she said brushing off leaves,"See you all at your birthday Sam!"She yelled over her shoulder as she dashed down the hill.
Twenty minutes later she ran up behind her home, ducking and scurrying under windows. Finally she reached her own window and leaping inside her caught her foot on the sill and landed sprawled on her face on the floor. Cursing she leapt up and throwing off the comfortable breeches and shirt she always wore she searched through her clothes until she found her only semi-presentable dress. It had a tear at the hem and a grass stain on the side, but it's pale blue color set off her eyes. She grimaced rubbing her cheek where she had landed and carefully climbing through the window she made her way around to the front door.
"I'm back!"She called.
She could see her parents by the fireplace and her cousin Lily in front of them.
"Well little Daisy,"Lily said ignoring the way Daisy bristled at being called little, and by her name. "Let me look at you."
Daisy stepped forward and Lily scanned her younger cousin. She took in everything frokm the ratty old dress, to the bruise forming on her cheek, to the grass and leaves still in her hair.
Lily sighed,"I can see I have my work cut out for me."

Daisy sighed as she flopped on her bed late one night. It was the night before Sam's party and she was exhausted.Lily had been driving her crazy y not only forcing her to wear a dress, but by teaching her how to sit properly, talk properly and eat properly. Not to mention the rigorous dance training. And just when she could have really used it, Lily informed her that ladies do not drink ale! Finally when she thought she couldn't possibly take anymore Lily had proclaimed Daisy ready to attend Sam's party.
Daisy groaned and pulled the blanket over herself as she drifted into dreams dominated by dresses and tea parties.
****
Daisy grimaced as Lily yanked off her covers.
"Go away, it's too early!"she mumbled.
"It's after elevenses which means we've only got 5 hours to make you look beautiful. In other words we need all the time we can get. Up now!"Lily retorted.
"Fine but I'd rather go in breeches and a normal shirt I'll have you know,"Daisy growled.
"Tha may be, but your mother got you a new dress so you're wearing it."
****
Daisy stared at herself in the mirror a few hours later. She had bathed and washed her hair which now hung in soft chestnut curls, waving down to her shoulders and free from leaves and grass for once. She wore a beautiful deep blue dress that seemed to make her sapphire eyes brighter than every.
"That's me?"she gasped.
"Of course silly, haven't you ever seen yourself in the mirror?"
"But....now I actually look, pretty."Daisy muttered blushing.
"YOu always were pretty little cousin. Now let's head out, it's almost time for Sam's party and I'm sure he won't want one of his good friends to be missing,"Lily said and she took her cousins arm and dragged her out the door.
