"Meriadoc Brandybuck! Peregrin Took! Camellia Millstone! If I catch ya here again I'll have your heads!" an angry Farmer Maggot yelled after three young retreating hobbits. After leaving the boundaries of Farmer Maggots land, the three young hobbits stopped at the foot of a large tree, panting.
"Nice one Cam! Too bad you dropped all the potatoes back there!", Pippin said in a mock-angry tone.
"Oh be quiet Pip. You ran like a scared little girl when he let the dogs loose.", was the playful response that came from Camellia, a Hobbit that was as old as Pippin, which was twelve years old at the time.
"You're a girl", stated Merry matter-of-factly, which only earned a grunt from the direction of the young Took. "Watch it Pip, she'll beat ya to a pulp."
"Yes I will, and don't you forget it. Now lets head home before it gets dark." Camellia said while getting up and brushing her old, ratty dress off.
"Of course Mother." Pippin responded sarcastically, earning a laugh from Merry and Cam.
"Well it's just that I have to cook dinner for the family tonight and I'm already late as it is."
"Oh come now Cam, Bywater isn't to far from Bag-End and we are staying at Frodo's for a while." Merry said while helping Pippin up from the ground.
"I know, but you know how Pop and Bolo get when I don't have dinner ready on time. Besides, I'll see you tomorrow. Rosie and I are going to the market in the mornin' though. You guys wanna come with us? It'll only take a few minutes."
"Sure why not? Frodo and Bilbo aren't gonna be at Bag-End tomorrow, so we don't have anything better to do." said Pippin tossing an apple to Camellia.
"Oh. Well I know when someone doesn't want to spend time with me. My best friends too. Just don't bother comin' with me to the market tomorrow." Cam said collapsing on the ground and breaking into mock-tears.
"Well look what you've done Pippin, you've made her cry." Merry stated, lightly kicking Cam's shaking body on the ground. "Well let's go" he said lightly, knowing that the tears were fake, and he and Pippin slowly started to walk off, chuckling to their selves.
"Wait!" Cam called after them, quickly hopping up from her spot on the ground.
When she caught up to them, she simply stated "D'you guys wanna come over for dinner tonight? I mean, if Mr. Frodo and Bilbo don't mind."
"Sure, we'll go ask 'em. Wanna come with us?" "Okay, lets make it quick though, we gotta get to Bywater soon."
"Alright, but I still don't see how we'll get from Bag-End to Bywater before dark. I mean Hobbiton is one thing, but if we don't make it before sundown we won't be able to cross Bywater Pool."
"I've crossed Bywater Pool before in the dark, it's not that big of a deal." Cam replied nonchalantly. "Well let's get goin' you guys", and with that Cam ran ahead of the two other hobbits. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Thirty Minutes Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well look on the bright side, Pip. Mr. Frodo didn't mind that you stay at Bywater 'till tomorrow." Camellia yelled over the raging storm.
"Yeah, well the downside is that the only reason we have to stay at your house is because we're caught in this storm" answered Pippin.
The three continued to trudge to Bywater Pool through the furious storm, with Camellia at the head of the group. "Come on guys we're almost there!" she shouted at Merry and Pippin. But before she could reach the edge of Bywater Pool, she suddenly stopped. A large branch was dangling from a tree, threatening to break off, and before she could get off of the trail, the branch snapped off leaving a very frightened Cam looking on in horror. But before she could scream to the others to get off the trail, the branch collided with her, knocking her unconscious and sending her flying into the body of water. There was one problem. No one in the group could swim.
