A Memory.

A/n -ok, I am now paranoid of Kalina being a Mary-Sue (a perfect person) so I had to write this.

* * * Kalina nervously approached the group of hobbits who took no notice of her.

"Hi," she stuttered, still nervous. "I-I-I'm Kalina and I-"

"Kalina eh?" one of the oldest hobbits in the group asked, quite evilly. She nodded, apprehensively.

"K-a-l-I-n-a?" she spelled it out.

She nodded again.

"Tell me then, does Kalina's hair naturally look as awful as that or is it just because it's sitting on her head?" she sneered, with an evil bout of laughter at the end.

"Leave her alone," another older hobbit said, glaring at the first one.

"And is Kalina naturally a freak or just an abnormal hobbit?" the first one continued, ignoring the other hobbit.

"I-I-I'm not a f-freak," Kalina stammered, feeling hurt.

"So you're an abnormal hobbit then?" the group of hobbits started laughing.

"No, I-I-I'm not."

"You've got straight hair! You talk like an idiot! You're abnormal!" the whole group chanted.

"I'M NOT ABNORMAL!" Kalina suddenly shrieked, shaking.

"Oh you are!"

"I AM NOT YOU-YOU BIG BULLYING GIT!" Kalina screamed. The whole group stopped laughing.

"Excuse me, Kalina, but did you just call me a big bullying git?" the first hobbit glared at her.

"I did and I only spoke the truth!" Kalina protested, feeling uncertain now.she had a hot temper but she was usually able to control it. The whole group glared at her.

"Rosie isn't a git, she's the finest hobbit that ever lived!" another one spoke.

"Haha!" Kalina laughed. "Rosie is the finest hobbit that ever lived -IN HER DREAMS!"

The whole group of about twenty hobbits were glaring at her, if looks could kill, Kalina undoubtedly wouldn't have lived.

"So you don't believe Rosie is then?"

"No way on Middle Earth!"

A hobbit advanced on her. Feeling frightened, Kalina took a step backwards and as his fist flung from his side, aimed for her face, she ducked, missed the blow and swiftly kicked him on his foot sharply in cause of self defence, turned and sprinted off to the trees, hearing the hobbit's yelps of pain and the murmurs of the angry group.

As she reached the trees, she glanced behind her and saw they weren't following and sighed in relief. She jumped though when another smaller groups of hobbits, more her age, appeared, and ran over to her.

"Oh my! We all saw that! That was just brilliant! I mean, them being older hobbits and all! And you being younger and new here -absolutely fantastic and welcome to this group! I'm Rosa Brandybuck by the way and this is-" she waved her hand over the fourteen hobbits crowded round her, all saying 'congratulations' to Kalina with big grins on their faces.

"AND! We've just had the mastermind of this Age in Middle Earth and we've just set it up!" Rosa had a huge grin on her face. Shaking her red hair impatiently, her brown eyes lit up with mischief she continued. "Those haughty gits of hobbits are gonna get a very bad surprise! Come on, follow us! We're kinda at war with them cos they treat us like we're babies so we're just proving we're not!" she explained to Kalina, as they ran down the slope. "We've been planning to do this for ages! It just took ages to find out a spot where they'd actually walk over!"

Taking hiding places in the woods, Rosa hastily kept whispering to Kalina until the group of hobbits Kalina had insulted walked down the hill, laughing and talking nastily about 'the abnormal freak of a hobbit.' When they neared the end of the hill, so busy talking to each other, not looking at the ground, they didn't see the two hobbits-one at either side of the hill, behind a tree, each pulled this small strong rope up from the ground. The group of hobbits, not seeing this all tripped over it. Every single one, including Rosie tripped and fell face down into a hastily spread line of mud.

Rosa's group of hobbits instantly ran out their hiding places, pointing and laughing merrily at the mud-covered hobbits who were yelling threats.

"OH MY!" Kalina screamed suddenly. "That's not mud! No way is that mud! It's cow manure!"

Of course she was lying, but Rosie had wounded her and she wanted revenge to be a little sweeter than this.

The 'mastermind' group started laughing harder and some of them chanting "cow manure! You're in cow manure!"

The mud-covered hobbits looked horrified, especially as the land was near a group of cows, and instantly got up and ran home to get cleaned up, forgetting the younger hobbits had set it all up.

When Rosa had recovered from her hysterical laughing -their faces had looked so funny! She high-fived Kalina and proudly introduced her new second in command and best friend, Kalina! Kalina had never laughed so much in her life!

A/n. hehe. Maybe Kalina doesn't need to kill me after all. ( Of course, Kalina was a lot younger and her first meeting with Rosa! Pretty please review and thanks for all who have! Yep, I live in Scotland, have done since I was 2! I was born in England. (
