Sam of the Scarfs
By: Diva and Natta
'Well, I mean Sam went with you, didn't he?'
'No, I went away all by myself, you knew that! Why do you think Sam went with me?'
'Oh, I don't know. Just felt like I was meant to think so...but I never really liked him anyway.' Everyone agreed, except for The Gaffer, who was to busy trying to ask the eagles if they had seen Sam, and then rolling stones from the ditch to see if Sam was there. Everyone looked at him and then Frodo turned to Gandalf.
'We mustn't let him know, it would be the end of him. Any ideas?' Everyone mumbled for a while, until Merry and Pippin spoke up.
'We know! Let's make a Sam doll, someone can walk behind him, carry him and be his voice.'
'It's not funny, this is serious, you foolish hobbits' said Bilbo, but stopped when he saw all the other hobbits faces. A positive mumble could be heard and everyone got to work. After a while it was finished, it looked a little strange but they were satisfied with it. Now it was time for Sam's voice. Frodo started an audition. When he got there in the morning, he expected a lot of eager hobbit's to stand outside. He was surprised to find only one person. Gandalf.
'Hello Gandalf, please come in.' The wizard looked a little confused but stepped in with Frodo. Frodo turned to Gandalf with a professional look on his face.
'Okay, Gandalf will you say something now, something that Sam used to say.'
'Oh yes. Sam was a fine hobbit. I remember him saying: "Oh Mr. Gandalf I will always follow Mr. Frodo until the day I get a job with a better salary.' Gandalf paused. 'It sounded nice when he said it, though.' Frodo looked confused, but soon his face lit up.
'You were great Gandalf! You get the job!'
'Job? What job? Merry and Pippin told me this was Sam's memorial service!'
'Oh, they were probably just tricking you into coming here. You get the job anyway.' Outside they heard two well-known laughter's and the sound of running hobbitfeet. 'Well, it's probably for a good thing,' Gandalf thought.
Frodo led Gandalf out and showed him a small box.
'Get in there!'
'What, why should I get in there?'
'Well, you got the job as Sam's voice. You have to get in there. Someone, like Bilbo for example, will push you around along with the resembling picture of Sam. Gandalf shrugged his shoulders and got in the box. It was very narrow, since the box was supposed not to be visible behind "Sam".
Bilbo was relaxing in his garden, watching the birds and smoking his pipe, when he saw Frodo coming, pushing a box on wheels in front of him. He thought it was memories from Sam and rose with something mournful in his eyes. Frodo smiled.
'Hello Bilbo! Here's Sam's voice!'
'What???'
'It's me,' came from within the box.
'What? How...how...how could you find Sam's voice???' Frodo looked happy.
'So you think he's very good too! You look scared. You're right, he's so good it's scary!'
'It's me Bilbo. Gandalf, in the box. Don't be shocked, I thought it was strange too at first, but I'm starting to like it! And now it's going to be fun, we will be together all the time!'
'Gandalf??? How did they get you to...oh never mind. What do you mean we will be together all the time?' A laughter came from within the box.
'Well, you didn't think I could push around the box myself, did you?' Bilbo got more and more confused.
'But if I'm going to walk behind your "Sam" all the time, then why can't Gandalf walk behind him instead, what's the difference?' Frodo looked confused.
'But that would look stupid! I mean, wouldn't it be suspicious if Gandalf walked behind Sam *all the time*?'
'It would look just as stupid if I did!'
'But you're pushing the box with Gandalf. That's not strange, you have a reason to go there!' Bilbo decided driving the stupid box would be easier than to try to reason with his nephew, so he took the box, the picture of Sam, and started to walk down the street.
