Hi guys, I'm back. This is chapter 4: The Party Begins and from here on in the chapters will be longer and so will the wait. There's just so much work that goes into these chapters now that I would hate to ruin the story by forgetting something very important. I'm also working on the next chapter of Digital Destiny. That should be out soon, hopefully...I'm not making any promises though, me and that story are fighting. (And unfortunately, the story is winning!) PrincessGingerGamgee: Thanks, I try to keep them in character. Legolas, however, is being difficult. If he weren't so cute I wouldn't even let him be in the story. Damn Elves! Mars Fire Goddess: Yes, Merry and Pippin do cause a lot of trouble, a lot in this chapter too! As for the scouts coming back in...Not all of them, but someone will make another appearance. Hope to see the next chapter of The Phoenix's Song soon! (Stupid typing teacher!) RubyRedDragon05: Yes, Merry and Pippin are like Minako and Makoto. Glad you liked it. I guess you want Rei and Legolas to get together huh. Well, we'll see what happens. Elenhiril: Don't worry, I couldn't ban Elves from the story. As difficult as they are I would miss them. I will definitely need help with the language though, so I'll be talking to you a lot! Pricilla: Yay!!! Your gonna update!!! Whoo-hoo! I wouldn't hold out on ya, I know a couple of other people who would hunt me down if I did. Frodo with a crush on Rei....hmmmmm.... We'll see how that one turns out. Just for the record, I HATE Usagi too, I'm just being nice to her in this story. And thank yous also go out to Black Aura-Sama, Letainajup, Felicia Angel, Dakki, Bluejello and CrazyJ Girl. Keep the reviews coming!!!

Rei followed Gandalf into the house, ducking along with him to get under the low doorframes. When they reached the kitchen Gandalf pulled out a chair and motioned for Rei to sit. She complied. Gandalf then walked around to the other side of the table and sat directly across from her. The wizard folded his arms across his chest and smiled. "Don't be nervous." He told her, "I'm here to help you." He smiled and Rei felt some of her hesitation melt away. She felt she could trust him. His eyes were kind and his smile was warm. She twirled the ring on her finger; a nervous habit that she had picked up since the ring was given to her. Gandalf noticed her actions. "That's a lovely ring." He stated, reaching over the table and lifting her hand, allowing the ruby to shine in the light.

"Thank you." Rei said, pulling her hand back. "It was a gift, from my best friend, a birthday present." She looked down at the ruby, Usagi's smiling face flashing in the gems radiance.

"Ah." Gandalf stood and grabbed a kettle from over the fire, poured two cups of tea and handed on to Rei. "Now, about your eventful arrival. Frodo told me that you fell from a ring of fire in the sky. Perhaps you could tell me of your world and elaborate on how you arrived in The Shire."

Rei took a deep breath. How much could she tell him? "Well, I come from a world called Earth. My world is far more advanced that this one. Cars, electricity-" Rei stopped when she saw the confused look on Gandalf's face. 'Well of course he wouldn't know what electricity was.' Rei told herself. "Electricity," she explained, "is a form of power. We have light all the time, without the aid of fire. And cars are a mode of transportation that requires no living animal; it's like a clock, running on gears and wheels, with gasoline as fuel." Gandalf looked as though he understood so Rei continued with her story. "My world was in war with a force known as the Negaverse, particularly the Negamoon, and the family of the Black-Moon. The Family was lead by Prince Diamond and his warriors led an assault on the planet. I'm a Senshi, a soldier. My friends and I led the battle against the Black-Moon family, but we were unsuccessful, and on the day of my arrival they unleashed the most powerful attack we had ever seen. It destroyed everything." Rei stopped, her voice beginning to shake and her eyes fill with tears. "I was saved and sent through the Gates of Time, alone and with no way to control where I would end up. I'm not even sure how I ended up here." She closed her eyes and the image of the flaming eye and the deep voice swam in her mind. "Wait, there was an eye. I slammed into it. It was huge, made completely from flame and it stared directly at me."

Gandalf's eyes widened at her description of the eye. 'Could it be?' he questioned himself. 'Could this girl have seen the Eye of Sauron?' 'An eye you say?"

"Yes." Rei replied, nodding her head. "And there was a voice. 'I can see you' It said." Rei shuddered at the thought. "I could feel the heat of the flame, it was so intense. I don't remember anything after that. I woke up and talked to Frodo for a few moments before passing out again. I was unconscious for a week." Rei stopped.

"And?" Gandalf asked.

'That's all." Rei told him. "There's nothing else."

Gandalf could sense that there was much that Rei was not telling him. He could feel a great power radiating within her, a strength he had never felt before, a force that wasn't completely human. She was more than what she claimed to be. But he could also tell that she was afraid. Fear poured out of her. She appeared to be strong but Gandalf could feel her uncertainty, her apprehension. He could read the emotions in her eyes, feel the depression that resided within her. He knew that asking her about the power within might not be the best approach, so he decided to wait until she trusted him enough to tell him more. "I'm afraid I don't know of anyway to send you home, but I will do my best to find one."

Rei smiled. "Arigato." Gandalf looked at her with confusion once again. "It means thank-you." She felt bad about not telling him the whole truth, but she wanted to keep her powers a secret for now. Who knows how they might take a girl who can control fire and see the future. Some things were better left unsaid. "What do I do now?" She asked.

Gandalf rose from the table and offered Rei his hand. She took it and stood beside him. "Now, you live." Rei looked at him questioningly and Gandalf smiled. "There's nothing we can do to get you home just yet, so you might as well make the best of your time here. Hobbits are interesting creatures, particularly the Bagginses. Learn from them, they have much to offer."

Rei nodded her understanding and walked towards the door. "Frodo is special." She said, "I'm very lucky to have met him. I don't know what I would have done in this world without him."

"Frodo is very special." Gandalf agreed.

Rei smiled. "Just like her..." Gandalf was about to ask who Rei was talking about but she was gone, already out the door. He walked to the door and watched her walk o where Frodo, Merry, Pippin and Sam were all sitting. She sat with them and appeared to join in their conversation, but Gandalf could see the pain behind her sad smiles. It appeared the Frodo noticed it as well, the young hobbit kept shooting worried glances in her direction.

"You see what I mean, old friend?" Bilbo's voice asked from behind.

"Yes, I do." Gandalf answered. "Very peculiar indeed. But I do not think she is here for malevolent reasons. There is too much fear in her. She's afraid of something, I just don't know what." Gandalf turned to face Bilbo, leaning on his staff for support. "She really is quite the mystery."

Bilbo nodded. "A mystery indeed, but one that we can not solve now. The sun is going down and the party begins!"

*****

Rei paused at the steps and looked out over the field below her. Smiling, happy people danced and laughed at the party. She could almost imagine that her friends were somewhere in the throng of people, that she was back at her home, getting ready for a night out on the town with the girls...

*****

Minako reached into her purse and pulled out a tube of lipstick. "Candy-Apple Red?" Rei questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course candy-apple red." Minako stated. "With your complexion this is the only color you should wear." She pushed Rei down into a chair and began applying the color to her friend's lips. After a few minutes Minako swirled the chair so that Rei could see her reflection in the mirror. The color really did look good on her. Minako saw the approval on Rei's face and smiled smugly. "I told you."

"Yeah." Makoto said walking up to the mirror. "You should know that Minako is our beauty guru." She pushed Rei out of the chair. "It's my turn now." Rei smiled as Minako began to apply makeup to her friend's face. "Can you just imagine all the cute boys we're gonna meet tonight?!" Makoto laughed.

"I know!" Minako squealed. "That is why we have to look our best."

"Well I don't need to look my best." Usagi said, walking into the room carrying a plate of cookies and a glass of milk. "My Mamo-Chan will love me no matter what I look like." All three girls rolled their eyes. Usagi smiled proudly and walked towards the table in the middle of the room, tripping over a discarded shirt in the process. The cookie plate clattered to the floor as Usagi tripped backwards, taking the glass of milk with her. When she finally sat up tears were in her eyes and her lower lip was trembling. Trails of milk and mascara ran down her face and onto her soaked shirt. "I'm a ...mess!" Usagi wailed.

Rei raised her eyes to the heavens. 'Why me?' she mouthed before walking over to her friend and kneeling beside her. " C'mon Usa-Chan, it'll be all right." Rei soothed.

"No it won't be!" Usagi wailed between sobs. "Now no guys will look at me."

Ami lowered the book she was reading. "But Usa, I thought that Mamoru-san was all the man you need?" Usagi glared at her friend, her sobs quieting down. "Oh, I'm sure Rei will let you wear something of hers."

Usagi looked at Rei with pleading eyes, causing the raven-haired girl to smile. "Of course you can Usa-Chan." Rei said, smiling slyly. "But not the red dress."

"But Rei-Chan, I love the red dress!"

"I know, that's why you can't wear it."

"Rei, you're so mean!"

All four of the other girls laughed as Usagi sat on the floor, covered in milk and yelled at the Miko who sat next to her. Rei smiled at her best friend and pushed herself of the floor. Opening her closet door she pulled out a strapless red dress and handed the hanger to Usagi. "Don't say I never gave you anything." Rei laughed.

Usagi jumped off the floor and threw her arms around Rei. Grabbing the dress from Rei's hands she walked to the mirror. "I would never say that Rei-Chan." Usagi smiled, "You give me headaches all the time."

Makoto, Minako and Ami all burst into laughter and it wasn't long before Rei and Usagi's melodic voices joined in.

*****

Rei reached a hand up and wiped a stray tear from her face. 'Calm down.' She told herself. 'They're fine. They're all fine.' A voice in the back of her mind kept telling her that she it was wishful thinking and that her friends were gone. "I don't believe it...I can't believe it." She told herself out loud, as if hearing a voice say it would reassure the doubts clouding her mind. "They're all at home and they're fine and they're as worried about me as I am about them. And worrying myself sick isn't a good idea." She could almost hear Ami's voice in her head telling her to take better care of herself.

She took a few more steps from the porch and turned and examined her appearance in the window. Finding new pants was out of the question, as none here would ever have fit her. She was, however, able to get a shirt from Frodo. It was a simple white, button down cotton type shirt. It fit her snugly so she left the top three buttons undone, giving herself room to breathe. She topped it with a maroon vest that also belonged to Frodo. The combination was actually quite nice. She was also able to wash her hair, which was now pulled behind her into a loose braid. "Well," she said, imagining her friends reflections next to her own, "Wish me luck."

She turned completely and walked the path to the party. As soon as she got close warm and tempting aromas began circling around her. There were tables of food, some looking remotely familiar while some were completely foreign. She grabbed a piece of bread from one of the trays and a glass of a brownish colored beverage. The bread was sweet but upon her first sip of the drink Rei could tell there was alcohol in it. Wrinkling her nose in disgust she looked across the table and saw Merry and Pippin with glasses of the same thing. Pippin saw her glance and raised his glass in a salute. Rei smiled back and turned to where the hobbits were dancing, leaving her cup full and untouched.

Frodo was in the center of the crowd, his fingers hooked through his belt loops and a smile in his face. He raised his hands above him and danced in a circle. Rei smiled and scanned the crowds and noticed that at the other end of the dancing Gandalf was merrily enjoying himself. "He looks like he's having fun, doesn't he?" A voice from her right asked.

Looking over her shoulder she saw that Merry and Pippin had moved from their former positions and were now sitting right next to her. "Yes, he does." Rei said slowly, unsure of what they wanted.

"It's a shame you're not having that much fun." Pippin said, looking out over the dancing crowds.

Rei smelled trouble. "I'm fine, I assure you."

Pippin merely smiled. "Sure you are." Merry replied. "Say, you wouldn't mind helping us with something would you?" He asked innocently.

Rei raised an eyebrow and looked at the two with a knowing smile. "Actually, I would mind. You almost got us killed last time I listened to you!"

Merry smiled and took a drink from his glass. "Oh, Farmer Maggot wouldn't have killed us-" he stopped and looked at Pippin curiously. "At least I don't think he would have."

"All the same," Rei said smoothly, "I'd rather stay here, and out of trouble."

Merry pushed himself of the seat and motioned for Pippin to follow. "C'mon Pip, I told you she wouldn't be up for it." With that the two hobbits began walking away.

"Up for what?" Rei called after them.

"It's nothing." Pippin said "we really shouldn't have said anything." He continued walking but turned his head to Merry with a sly smile. 'We got her.' he mouthed to his friend.

Rei watched them walk away and against her better judgment she got up and walked in the direction they were headed. She knew that she was walking into a trap and more trouble than was probably good for her, but her pride wouldn't let her sit and do nothing when they didn't think she could handle whatever they had planned. "Hey, wait up." She called.

Simultaneously both hobbits turned to face her. "Yes?" Pippin asked sweetly.

"Whatever you guys have planned, I'm in." She said.

"Do you think you we should let her Pip?" Merry asked his friend.

Pippin looked Rei up and down before nodding his appraisal. "I think she can handle it" He replied.

"That's a stirring vote of confidence." Rei said sarcastically. "What did you have planned?"

Merry grabbed Rei's hands and led her to he very back of the party and to a secluded tent where he pulled her in. Rei looked around curiously until Merry's voice grabbed her attention. "This is the plan. Our dear friend Gandalf brought with him a cartful of fireworks."

Rei raised and eyebrow, their plan starting to make sense in her mind. "And you want to borrow some of those fireworks and have a little party of your own, right?"

"Wow." Pippin said with a smile. "She really is good."

She smiled. "And what, pray tell, do you two want me to do?"

"We want you to get the fireworks."

"That's all?" Rei asked, not really believing that was all they wanted her to do. Merry nodded. "Okay." She said hesitantly. "Show me to the cart!"

Merry and Pippin led Rei out of the tent and wove her in and out of the crowd of people until they stood in a dimly lit corner of the party field. Merry pointed to a cart that was parked in front of a bright orange tent. Rei glanced around her to make sure no one was watching, The only person in the area was Gandalf, but he was to busy lighting his own fireworks to notice the sly senshi stealthily sneak behind the cart and grab the first firework that her hands felt. She ran back to where Pippin and Merry were standing and handed it to them with a satisfied smile in her face.

Merry, however, looked at it in distaste. "What is that? He asked, twirling the small explosive device in his hands.

"What does it look like?" Rei asked sarcastically.

"Looks like a firework to me." Pippin cut in.

"Yeah," Merry said, handing the firework back to Rei. "The smallest one she could possibly find! What are we supposed to do with this?"

"I don't know." Rei said, a hint of frustration in her normally smooth voice. "Set something on fire."

Merry turned her around and pushed her back towards the lonely cart. "I demand that you get a new one." He told her imperiously. "A big one!" He said, using his hands to emphasize his point.

Rei rolled her eyes and stalked back towards the cart. "I demand a big one." She muttered to herself. "Who does that little hobbit think he is?" She threw the small cylinder back into the cart and peered inside for the biggest one she could find. She was about to grab anything when a large red dragon-shaped package caught her eye. She reached in a hand to pull the desired firework out when she sensed someone walking up behind her. Acting on reflex she dove under the cart and hid out of sight, watching as Gandalf walked to the cart and pulled out a few brightly colored tubes and then, humming lightly to himself, walked back to where he had previously been standing.


Rei waited a few moments before crawling out from her hiding place. She looked about warily, making sure no one else was sneaking around in the darkness. When she was satisfied that she was alone she pulled back the cover and grabbed her desired item and ran back to her not so sly friends. Merry and Pippin stood off to the side of Gandalf, their hands in their pockets and the most innocent expressions they could muster on their faces. Rei grabbed Pippin by the elbow and motioned for Merry to follow. "What are you two doing?" She asked incredulously once they were out of Gandalf's eyesight and earshot. "Trying to get us caught?"

Neither of them answered. Rei turned to face them and found them both on their knees staring in awe at the firework she had brought back. "This is going to be great Pip!" Merry exclaimed, slapping his friend on the back. "C'mon, help me hold it."

Rei watched as the two small hobbits tried to hold the firework steady and light it at the same time. After a few minutes Rei grew tired of watching Merry's flint do nothing but spark she walked over to them, and kneeling, placed her hands around the wick. Closing her eyes and muttering something neither of them could decipher the wick suddenly burst into flames. Rei stepped back with a satisfied grin on her face. Merry and Pippin both looked at her in curiosity. "How did you do that?" Pippin asked her.

Rei's eyes widened as the realization of what she had done finally sunk in. 'Way to go Rei!' she told herself, 'Try talking yourself out of this one.' Luckily she didn't have to, because right when her answer should have been furnished the firework exploded into the air in a swirl of color. The force of the explosion threw both Merry and Pippin back and Rei ran to where they fell to make sure they were all right.

Both of them sat up and watched the colors streak through the sky. Rei also turned her head up and watched in awe as the seemingly innocent firework exploded once again and formed a menacing dragon. Hobbits everywhere began screaming and running in all directions, each one searching for a suitable hiding place.

The dragon opened its jaws threateningly and swooped down upon the crowd. Rei saw Frodo grab onto Bilbo and push him towards the ground in an effort to protect him. Rei's instincts of protection were just about to overpower her need for anonymity when the dragon flew out into the horizon and disappeared in a flash of bright lights and sparks. Once the hobbits realized that they were in no danger the erupted into a storm of applause, cheering Gandalf on and asking for more.

Rei, Merry and Pippin all stood and dusted themselves off. Once he was finally clean Merry looked up at Rei. "That was Great!" He exclaimed, before turning to Pippin and saying "Let's get another one!"

But before they could move they were both seized by the earlobes and pulled to a stop. They looked up into the laughing eyes of Gandalf. "Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took. I might have known." He began pulling the two in the opposite direction, stopping only to smile at Rei. "Run along now." He said kindly. "Frodo is looking for you."

Rei stepped backwards and with one final glance at her unfortunate friends took off in the direction she had last seen Frodo. "Thanks Gandalf." She called over her shoulder.

Rei walked through the crowd of people until she spotted Frodo sitting with Sam on a bench near the dancing. She walked up and took a seat near Sam, following his gaze to a young hobbit girl dancing in the center of the throng. She had curly, dirty blond hair and sparkling blue eyes, and unless Rei was mistaken, kept those baby blues locked on Sam. "What's her name?" Rei asked, nudging Sam in the shoulder.

"Rosie Cotton, the prettiest girl in the entire Shire." Sam said a little breathlessly, a slight flush forming on his cheeks.

"Then why are you sitting here with Frodo and not dancing with her?" Rei asked curiously.

Sam took one final glance in Rosie's direction before raising from his seat and turning in the direction of the drinks. "Oh no, I couldn't..." he stuttered, "I mean, she wouldn't...I think I'll just have another ale."

Frodo looked at Rei, a smile on his lips. With a simple nod Rei and Frodo both rose from their seats and grabbed one of Sam's shoulders and with a gentle shove he stumbled into Rosie's waiting arms.

When they had both returned to their seats Rei watched as the flush that was on Sam's face disappear and a confident smile replace it. She smiled softly and watched them twirl around in a circle. She was so caught up in watching them that she almost didn't hear Frodo call out her name. "Rei." A warm hand was placed atop her own. "Rei." Startled out of her reverie she looked up and into Frodo's worried blue eyes. "Are you all right?"

Rei nodded and looked back out at the crowds. "Just thinking."

"About your friends?" He asked softly.

Rei smiled at him. In the short time that they had known each other he had come to know amazingly well. He could tell when she was holding something back or when something was bothering her. "Yes." She told him. "I was just thinking that they would love to be here. It's so peaceful." She looked up and stared at the twinkling stars. "My world is so different than this, so brutal...it's a never-ending fight for peace." Rei closed her eyes, thinking about how never-ending her fight really was. She had an eternity of servitude lined up, never a moment spared for herself and she was ashamed at the part of her that was silently hoping that Setsuna would never find her, that she could live her eternity in the comfort of the Shire. She closed her eyes and pictured her own small house nestled protectively under a rolling hill, wild flowers all around, a loving man by her side and the happiness that she knew she deserved.

"You'll be home soon." Frodo said, a hint of sadness coating his normally cheerful voice.

Frodo's voice knocked Rei out of her fantasy. "Yes, I will." She agreed. She knew that going home wasn't an option and that as soon as Setsuna found her she would be whisked out of this magical place and back into her harsh reality. 'If only there was a way to bring everyone here.' Rei silently mused to herself. 'I know they would all love it here.'

Once again Rei's dreams were shattered when Bilbo climbed atop a barrel and called out over the crowd. "Banks! Hornblowers! Brandybucks" At each name called the crowd erupted into cheers, only to be silenced as his list went on. "Cottons! Tooks! Bagginses! Boffins and Proudfeet!"

"Proudfoot!" A laughing voice corrected him.

"Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday!" The noise from the group rose to an almost deafening sound. "Eleventy-one years is far to long a time to live among such admirable hobbits! I know half of you half as well as I should like and like half of you half as well as you deserve!" There was a confused silence and upon looking around Rei realized that herself, Frodo and Gandalf were probably the only ones to get the joke. When she looked back up at Bilbo his mood and appearance had changed drastically. His smile was gone, replaced with an almost pain filled grimace and his right hand continually fiddled with something in the right pocket of his vest. Each time his finger dipped into the pocket a sharp stab of pain streaked through Rei's mind.

"I have put this off for far to long." Bilbo uttered so low that many missed the comment. "I'm going now." He stated more clearly. "I bid you all a fond farewell." Whatever he was playing with in his packet he know held in the palm of his hand. "Goodbye." And with one final glance at Frodo he disappeared completely.

Frodo looked at the spot where his uncle had last been standing and was about to run in that direction when a strangled cry from across him grabbed his attention. When he looked he saw Rei's eyes widened in fear and pain, tears leaking from their corners. Her hand was pressed to her forehead and her face had gone incredibly pale. She looked to Frodo for a split second before her strength gave out and she collapsed in a heap on the ground, unconscious.

Acting on instinct Frodo pushed his way through the frightened crowd and knelt beside the fallen girl. He pulled her into his arms and looked around frantically for help.

*****

Bilbo closed the front door behind him and with a smile tossed the ring into the air before tucking it securely back into his pocket. He then grabbed a bag of the table and began tossing various things into it, completely unaware of the eyes in him until Gandalf's voice broke the silence, "That's an amazing ring you have, my friend."

*****

Rei leaned on Frodo as they made their way up the steps of Bag-End. Frodo opened the gate for her and offered his arm as he pulled the door open. He stepped inside and walked into the living room, shocked to see Gandalf sitting calmly in a chair by the fire. Rei, who had walked in behind him noticed a simple gold band lying on the ground. She bent to pick it up but when she touched the ring her eyes clouded over and she could clearly see the eye she had witnessed on her arrival. She stumbled backwards, leaning against the wall for support. Frodo saw her fall and rushed to her side. "Are you all right?" He asked her.

Rei nodded and pointed to the ring on the floor. Frodo bent over and picked it up, rolling the smooth gold in his palm. He walked to stand next to the fire. Gandalf rose from his chair and walked to the table. "He's gone, isn't he?" Frodo asked softly.

Gandalf came to stand by Frodo, a white envelope in his hands. He held it out and Frodo dropped the ring into it. Gandalf turned and melted wax onto the envelope, effectively sealing the ring out of sight. "Yes. All of his belongings were left to you. Including Bag-End and this ring." Gandalf glanced at the envelope before walking to the coat hanger and pulling his cloak and hat from it and placing them on.

"You're leaving?" Frodo asked incredulously. "You've only just arrived."

"I have to go." Gandalf stated simply. "There are things that need doing, questions that need answering." Gandalf handed the envelope with the ring to Frodo. "Put that away where none can see it. Keep it secret, Keep it safe." With that Gandalf exited the house and mounted his horse, racing out of the Shire as fast as his mount would carry him.

Frodo watched him ride away for a few moments before closing the door and turning to Rei. She had moved to the chair and sat facing the fire, allowing the heat to soothe her. Frodo moved a chair and sat next to her, staring out the window. He reached across the distance and gently grasped Rei's hand. She smiled at him, before closing her eyes and falling into a troubled sleep with dreams of a flaming eye watching her every move.

Well, that was my longest chapter ever!!! Are you proud? I am, kinda. I'm satisfied up until about Bilbo's speech and then I dislike what I wrote, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) I am too lazy to go back and fix it. Anyways, I need your guy's opinions. I haven't quite decided how I want the next chapter to go, but I wanted to know who you would prefer to see help the hobbits and Rei get from Bree to Imladris (Rivendell). Strider and Arwen or Tom Bombadil and Glorfindel. I think I'm leaning towards Strider and Arwen simply because I don't particularly like Tom, don't really want to deal with whole Barrow-Downs part of the story and Arwen the Nazgul slayer rocked, but if you guys would like to see that I might do it that way. Also, I know it was 17 years between the time that Gandalf left for Minas Tirith and came back to The Shire, but for the sake of my story it will only be a couple of months. 17 years would give away more about Rei than I want them to know just now. Just giving you a heads up. Please leave a little contribution by pressing the review button below, if you do the author will hunt and give each person who does their own personal Elf-Slave!! (With the exception of Legolas, he's mine, and Lord Elrond, I'm saving him for the weekends, and maybe some stupid girl I know who might be pretty mad if I didn't share!) I love you Krista!!!!

It seems that our Rei-Chan is greatly affected buy the power of the ring and now that Bilbo is gone our adventure is starting to begin. Next chapter : After being gone for months Gandalf returns and fills Rei and Frodo in on the power of the ring they posses. Tension and fear mount as Rei and Frodo must leave the Shire for their own safety, continually hunted by the nine servants of Sauron who have been released from the gates of Minas Morgul.
