Even though Frodo needed rest, he couldn't seem to get to sleep. There was too much going on in his mind. Everything that happened between Sam and him was spinning inside his head.

He didn't sleep at all that night. When Sam came to pick him up he could hardly keep his eyes open. Sam asked what was wrong.

"You look tired." Sam said, "Did you get any rest last night?"

"No, actually, I couldn't. I was thinking about some things."

"What things?" Sam asked curiously.

"About what happened yesterday." Frodo replied.

"Oh, don't worry about that! You can lie in the back of the carriage and get some sleep. I'll drive 1st for a while." Sam said.

"Thank you Sam."

Now this gave Sam time to think. He only got a few hours of sleep himself.

After a while he started to get a little bit drowsy, but he managed. When Frodo awoke he felt incredibly refreshed. Then he took over the driving and gave Sam time to rest too.

The 1st day they reached Bree, and stayed at the Prancing Pony. *~*
"Do you see that waitress over there? She's not bad." Sam told Frodo.

"Yes, but I'm waiting until we get to a certain place." Frodo answered.

"Now, what place would that be?" Sam asked curiously.

"It's going to be a surprise. I think you'll really like where I'm planning to go"

"Oh, I suppose I can wait." Sam answered.

"It will be worth it" Sam added.

"Trust me, it will." Frodo told him.

"I sure hope so!" Sam answered hopefully.

After they ate Frodo went to his room, took out his diary and started writing.

"Our 1st stop is at the Prancing Pony. I've at least got some sleep on the way here. Mr. Butterbur and everyone else kept asking questions. I've been answering them all evening. It was getting very tiring. So I went up to my room to get some privacy. It seems to have worked so far. I should take advantage of it."

And sure enough Sam burst open the door, not knowing Frodo was already in there.

"Oh, I didn't know you were in here. I can leave if you want me to." Sam answered

"No, that's ok. I'll just go take a shower, I probably need one anyways." Frodo said.

"Ok, if that what's you want." Sam responded.

As Frodo was taking a shower he thought of how far it was yet to reach Mirkwood. He was saddened by this thought.

"I really wish to see Mirkwood. But that will have to wait for a while.

When he got out of the shower he put on his pajamas. Sam was already fast asleep on the bed without the covers on. He was smiling. Frodo could only guess to what he dreaming about. It was already late into the night.

Frodo paced around the small room again and again. He wasn't necessarily thinking, but he wasn't tired sp he stayed up most of the night.

But in the morning Sam found Frodo asleep in the rocking chair in the corner. He didn't wake him up quite yet. The night before when Frodo came in from his shower Sam wasn't sleeping yet either. He could hear Frodo's gingerly footsteps, trying not to wake Sam, but the sound seemed so distant and slight that he had barely heard it.

*~* When Frodo finally woke up at 11:00 they packed up their things on the back of the cart. They ate a small breakfast as they headed out the door, only because Mr. Butterbur insisted.

Sam anxiously asked, "Where to next?"

"We will take the Great East Road as before until we reach Dimrill Dale. It will take quite a while til' we get there, but it will bring us that much closer to the surprise place. Think of it that way." Frodo replied sagely.

"Well I'm happy about that." Sam answered.

It was Sam's turn to drive so he got situated and Frodo in the passenger's seat. Sam took hold of they reins and said to the horses, "Heyah!" as he snapped the reins, and they were off again.
