The next day was just as lovely as the previous one. Sam and Frodo were down in Hobbiton buying fruit and vegetables for Bilbo and decided to stop in at the Green Dragon for a quick pint. Walking into the friendly bar, Sam saw Rosie, serving customers and gave her a smile as he walked past. She smiled in return as Frodo and Sam sat down. After a few minutes she walked over carrying two pints of the finest ale.

"Hello, Lads." She said, setting the pints down and sitting on a stool at the table. "It's my break, you don't mind me joining you do you?"

Sam shook his head. "No, not at all. We're glad of your company." He said, making Frodo smile. Sam had always liked Rosie, and would jump at the chance to talk to her.

Rosie smiled. "So what brings you two to town this early?" She asked, not used to seeing them in the pub at that time of day.

"We came down to get some vegetables for Bilbo and seeing as its so hot outside, I thought we could do with a drink." Frodo explained. However, he did have another reason for bringing Sam in here. He wanted to talk to him about his birthday.

Rosie nodded and drank her drink. The bar was getting busy and her help was needed. "I'm sorry boys but I have to go back to work now. Nice seeing you." She explained and went off behind the bar.

Sam sighed, staring after her. "Anyway, I suppose we'd better be off as well. Bilbo will be wondering where we are." He said.

"Hang on Sam," Frodo said, "I want to talk to you about your birthday."

Sam raised his eyebrows and Frodo continued. "Well, I wanted to do something extra special for your birthday, so I came up with an idea. I asked around and both Bilbo and the Gaffer said it was ok to do it."

Sam looked puzzled, wondering what Frodo was going on about and so Frodo continued, asking "There's one thing you've always wanted to do, isn't there, Sam?"

Sam nodded, knowing what Frodo meant; it was something he had wanted to do since a very young age. "Yes, Me Frodo."

Frodo smiled. "I'm taking you somewhere very special." He said.

"Where?" asked Sam.

"To Rivendell; we're going to see the Elves."
