Yay! Chapter Two!! This is so much fun to write...everyone should make a
"serious" story! They're the best! Okay, anyways...some of you might get a
bad impression of the story cuz it is kinda a romance...but the ending is
not what you think...I promise! So please don't get mad or flame or
anything until you've read the ending! (Which I hope should be up
soon...but not too soon!) and if you don't like it cuz you're a Frodo
fangirl...put your name in where Flavia's is...until the ending!!! Oops...I
kinda gave away part, sorta, you probly won't guess the end. But please
give it a chance! O, and I just thought I'd mention cuz it confused my mom,
this part is what Talitha is telling her grandchildren. It's the story. I
just thought I'd clarify cuz my mom was reading this and she was like, "Um,
I think you forgot something, cuz it just jumped to something else." Silly
mom... Okay, I'm done talking now:

Flavia could see the cake. Her eyes lit up with excitement; it was the biggest cake she'd ever laid eyes on. She stopped dancing just to stare at it. "It must be five layers thick!" she thought to herself. Flavia, being a typical hobbit tween, loved nothing more than food, nothing that is, except Frodo Baggins. Today was his birthday, well Bilbo's too, that was why there was such a huge party. She'd left a batch of Frodo's favorite cookies on his porch this morning. She knew they were his favorite from eavesdropping at his window almost every night since she first met him.
Flavia winced as she recalled the incident. She had been walking her cow, Lily, down the road, not paying any attention to her surroundings. She was telling Lily how she would be the prettiest cow at the carnival, and the smartest. Which was probably true since Flavia pampered her cow like a mother would her only child. Flavia stopped talking to Lily and looked ahead of her, she barely had time to cry out before she collided with another hobbit, who had his nose buried in a book.
They both fell to the ground and his book nearly landed in a puddle of mud. "I'm so sorry," the hobbit whom she'd ran into said, "I wasn't paying any attention to where I was going. Here, let me help you." He gently grabbed her arm and pulled her to her feet, then she got a look at him. She nearly crumpled to the ground a second time, but somehow remained standing and managed to stutter something about how it wasn't his fault and that she needed to be more careful.
He merely smiled and held out his hand. "I'm Frodo." She put her shaking hand into his and they shook. "I'm F-Flavia." He let go of her hand and bent down to pick up his book. "Are you taking that cow to the carnival tomorrow?" he asked her nonchalantly. She smiled, now she could talk comfortably, "Yes." Unfortunately, he said no more on the subject and simply said that he'd better get going. "Where do you live?" she blurted out, quite without meaning to. She felt her cheeks turn bright red and she fervently wished that she could melt away. Again, this charming and well mannered hobbit just smiled, "I live with my uncle Bilbo up in Bag End. You ought to come and visit us sometime." With that, he turned and walked off, again burying his nose in the book. And she did come visit him, only he never knew she was there, sitting in the hedges right below his window.
But that had been almost four years ago, and now she was a tween and he was "coming of age." Tonight she was determined to talk to him. The music started playing again, and she felt her body pulsing to the rhythm. She began to dance, by herself at first, but soon found herself amidst most of the other dancers, they were quite the center of excitement.
The song was about to end and she was doing her final spin, when a smaller hobbit came crashing into her. She fell over, knocking the hobbit behind her over too. She landed on her back and went to apologize to the poor lad she'd knocked over. "I'm so sorry," she said. Then she noticed who it was....it was Frodo.

Wow. That was really fun to write. I'm not sure if I like it though...o well. I hope you did anyways. I've already started working on chapter three, so that should be along shortly. Please r/r. I really want to know what you think!
Oh, and I think it's always cool when author's respond to their reviews so:
Only a few people reviewed and they all said to post more. So...I did. The end.
(Please review so I can have fun responding to reviews! Hehe)
