Deep

Ok, y'all know the deal; I have been really busy and to give you guys a head's up, I am going to be even busier. So, since I have not updated in a long time, I thought it would be nice to give a summary of Deep. Ok, ready, set, GO!!!!!       

          Once upon a time there was this totally beautiful and sophisticated 17-year-old girl name Deep. Well, she comes across a magical nose ring and is instantly transported to Middle Earth and into the arms of the handsome Prince Legolas. Deep, of course, turns into a beautiful elf whose is more beautiful than Arwen and more powerful than Galadriel. And then Legolas takes her to his kingdom and renames her Deepaladrieldriel…wen. And she gets to wear pretty elven dresses and of course goes to all the balls and dances with Legolas. Then he takes her to a random garden in the moonlight and says in a melodious voice," Deepaladrieldriel…wen…I…"and of course, he gets all shy, but Deep being the romantic girl she is, goes a head a gives him a gentle kiss. And then he kisses her back and then the kiss becomes passionate and then all of a sudden, they are making love and..JUST KIDDING!!!!

          Ha ha! I just felt like making fun of those stories. Don't get me wrong! Some of them are pretty good, until they start writing about the love making part; that's just nasty! Ok, here is the 10th chapter of Deep!

*************************************************************

          Bilbo took his cup of tea and his pipe and sat outside. He took in a deep breath of the fall morning air. He watched the trees and thought, 'By the Valar! I swear those leaves were green! My, how does time fly by."

          Yes, it had been a year since Deep, that dark skin big folk girl, came into his home and into his heart. He remembered the first day she came….

Flashback

Bilbo had just finished his midnight snack. Bag Ends was quiet with everyone asleep, so he decided to go outside in his yard and look at the stars. When he got out there, he was surprised to see someone else there. He smiled when he realized it was Deep. "Hello, Deep," Bilbo said. "Oh, hello Bilbo, have you came to look at the stars," Deep said in a shaky voice.

Bilbo noticed this and said, "My dear, what is the matter?" She turned to look at him and he saw that her eyes were watery. She looked up at the stars and said in a meek voice, "Look at all of those stars. So bright and so many. It kind of makes you feel small." Bilbo was shocked that a big folk would feel small. "Yes, I used to feel like that when I went of my adventure with the dwarves," he replied. And as if she was speaking to herself, "So bright, so many, but so strange. I recognize none of them. Where are the Big Dipper, the Pole Star, the planets, and the other constellations? …I feel so lost and alone!" Deep began to cry and sob uncontrollably.

Bilbo held her in his arms like a little child. He began to rock her back and forth until she quieted down. "I am sorry Bilbo. I didn't mean to be a burden to you," she said.

"Nonsense dear, it is ok for you to cry Deep. You lost your home and are in a different place," he said.

"You never answered my question. Why, did you take me in Bilbo?" she looked up at his face and looked at him the same way Frodo did when he moved in with him.

"Because my dear, you are special. You are different than other big folk I met. You have a personality that lights up the room…"

"But, how do you know? You just met me," she interpreted.

"Yes well, you know when you look at someone and just get this feeling that there is something special about them? That is what I felt when I saw you for the first time. You are very much like a hobbit," he paused for a moment and look into her eyes. "We can expect great things from you Deep, great things," Bilbo said in a serious tone.

End of flashback

'Yes, she did a many of great things,' Bilbo thought. A month after her arrive, Deep became a healer. She met Ms. Adelard Maggot from Bag Shot Row, the local healer. Ms. Adelard Maggot needed an assistant and Deep was the first to answer her reply. Ms. Maggot began to teach Deep how to become a healer. Shire Folk were of course a little skeptical about having a strange looking big folk as a healer, but Deep managed to win their respect. All those who Deep attended to, were healed in no time. Bilbo and Frodo were very proud of her.

And Bilbo was also right about Deep bring happiness to wherever she was. She was always smiling, laughing, and spreading her joy. She was always excited to hear any of Bilbo's stories and songs and sometimes dance to them. She was always dancing. Deep would dance around the house and dance while she worked and she would dance beautifully; so happy and light were her steps.

 Deep and Frodo were the best of friends. They were always working, talking, and learning elvish (which surpisingly Deep was very fluent in) together; the two were inseparable. Deep got a long so well with all of Frodo's friends, Folco Boffin, Fredegar Bolger, Meriadoc Brandybuck, and many of the other lads. Of course Deep got along with the lasses too, but her closest friends were Frodo's friends.

"Yes, it has been a good year," Bilbo said aloud.

"And it is going to get even better with your birthday party!" said a voice.

Bilbo turned around and saw Deep smiling at him. "Did I scare you?" she asked.

"No, I am too old to get scared," Bilbo and Deep began to laugh. When their laughter died down, Deep asked, "What were you thinking about?"

Bilbo smiled and said, "I was thinking about you."

"About me, I hope it wasn't anything bad," she said with a chuckle.

"No, all good. You make me very happy, Deep. I am proud of you. Do know that?" and before Deep could reply Bilbo got up and began to walk inside.

"Oh my, I have to finish my preparations for the party. I want it to be perfect!" he said.

Deep was left outside, thinking about how it has been a good year, but Bilbo was going away.
