Frodo sat at home, 5 years after the Ring had been destroyed, pondering
what to do on his adventure with Merry, Pippin and Sam. All of a sudden,
there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" He yelled. He heard the door
open, and the footsteps of someone coming into the room. "Gandalf! How
are you, my good friend?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine, how are you, Mr. Baggins?"
"Gandalf, I'm great! Me, Merry, Pippin, and Sam are going on an adventure today."
"Where to, Frodo?"
He puzzled on that for a moment, before replying, "I have no Idea, really, but I think we're going to go to Rivendell, and from there, travel to Gondor. We don't mind the long walk. It'll be quite invigorating. Plus, I want to check with Aragorn, to see how he's fairing after all these years."
"And you don't have enough courtesy to ask me to come along? I'm just as good company as those two troublemakers Merry and Pippin, am I not?"
"Even better in my opinion," he whispered, then more loudly, said, "of course you can come!"
Gandalf sat back laughing, as he took out his pipe, and, lighting it, he began making smoke rings as he gazed at Frodo.
Frodo was staring quite frightened from the smoke rings. Gandalf was astonished.
"Frodo, what's the matter my dear boy?"
Suddenly being pulled from his thoughts of the ring, he replied, "I'm sorry, Gandalf, it's just ever since the Ring was destroyed, I can't even think about anything ring-shaped."
"Oh, yes, yes, I understand. Now, I must ask you, when do we depart for the adventure?"
"On the 26th of October, if that's okay with you, Gandalf."
"Ah, a most excellent date, I will be here at 11 o'clock sharp."
"Wonderful! And we'll leave at 12."
As Gandalf got up to leave, he turned to Frodo, and with a smile, grabbed his staff from the rack, and left.
As Frodo sat gazing at the chandelier, he fell into thoughts. He was in the fires of Mordor, in the pits of Mount Doom, as he was going to destroy the Ring. Suddenly, a fear came over him, an obsession to keep the Ring. He was snapped back into reality as Sam popped up right in front of him, and was delighted after hearing from Gandalf that the wizard coming on the adventure.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in Frodo's mind.
"Sam! I just thought of something! Since Gandalf's coming with us to Gondor, we can get the rest of the fellowship, also! Come on, Sam, think about it, seeing Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn again would be so fun! We'd reunite for one more adventure! So. what do you say, Sam?"
"Great idea, Frodo! Let's send a message to Legolas and Gimli right now!"
"I'm fine, I'm fine, how are you, Mr. Baggins?"
"Gandalf, I'm great! Me, Merry, Pippin, and Sam are going on an adventure today."
"Where to, Frodo?"
