I got the idea for this story while watching Alice In Wonderland while babysitting and thought that it would be neat if a hole opened up in the ground and went to The Shire.

Thoughts are in brackets.

Chapter One- Down The Hobbit Hole

Summer in the city had been no treat. It was too crowded and the only smell in the air was that of carbon monoxide. Deciding that this was not the way to live, Camellia moved from the crowded rural area into suburbia. Come to think of it, it was beyond suburbia, her nearest neighbors were now about a mile away instead of two meters. She enjoyed the quiet, it was easier to concentrate on projects for work there. One may ask themselves why a vibrant young woman would move from the social scene to the middle of nowhere. The answer is plain and simple, she didn't fit in. Appearance was everything in that city. If you didn't fit into their mold you were history, which is what happened to Camellia.

The sun was just beginning to sink below the hazy purple mountains when Camellia decided that she needed to take her dog for his evening walk.

"Come along Maegelin, we're going for a walk!" She said cheerfully as she attached a leash to her sleeping pet. She was glad for an excuse to take from the report that she needed to compose for her job. As soon as Maegelin heard the 'walk' he leapt to his feet and darted to the front door, dragging Camellia along with him. She grabbed her coat and opened the front door. It was barely opened a quarter of the way when Maegelin decided that now was the time to leave. He darted down the path as Camellia attempted to shut the door on her way by. Only succeeding in tapping it with her fingertips, thus shutting it only a little over half way.

"Hold on Maegelin! Wait for me!" She said laughing. There was a slight breeze coming from the north that was blowing a wisp of golden brown hair across her right eye. She brushed it aside, sighing.

I have always been so busy with work and school that I have never have made much time to have fun. I hate being so stressed and lonely. I long to have friends but all the people that I know are too serious and busy. Oh and I might as well forget about having a boyfriend! Every guy that I have ever met is looking for a super model. Not someone under five foot, who is rather plain and has a round face. Looks like the closest thing I am ever going to have to a boyfriend is Maegelin. Hey, at least he is quiet and he listens to me…..

Her thoughts were interrupted as Maegelin started to bark loudly and bolted down the path…in pursuit of….nothing other than…a fluffy white rabbit.

"Maegelin stop! Its just a rabbit! Stop it you stupid dog!" She yelled frantically.

Okay I take my mental statement about quiet and obedient back!

Suddenly Maegelin stopped running, yelped, and immediately started running toward home. Camellia instinctively dropped the leash, to avoid being dragged down the slightly rocky path. She looked up again just in time to see the dog race into the half open door. Suddenly a strong gust of wind slammed the door shut and knocked an unsuspecting Camellia off of her feet. Instantly the ground opened up underneath her. She screamed and then shut her eyes, hoping that it was just a bad dream and that if it wasn't it would all be over quickly. After falling for what seemed like hours she finally hit the 'bottom'. Her landing would have been fine except that the back of her head hit a fairly large rock at the last moment. The last thing that she saw was blue sky, clouds and lush green treetops, before she blacked out.
