Way to connect to the real story. A long story short, well, the girls of
the shire aren't too keen on another woman taking their men...
Chapter 4: An, uh, Long-Expected Party?
The four hobbits brought Lilly to Sam and Rosie's house, and when Rosie first saw the girl (not to mention the effect Lilly had on her boys), she was not the least bit pleased. As far as Rosie was concerned, those boys had spent the last two months since her baby's return from Mordor eating, singing, and especially drinking in her pub, I mean, home, and as opposed to Sam's belief, she did not like the prospect of another woman in the picture. And she also did not like the look of this new girl. Not only did she not like the girl just for the fact that she was stealing her boys, what nerve did she have to be out and about in next to nothing!
"Sweetheart, look what we found! And on her birthday, poor thing," Sam said, and leaned over to kiss his wife.
"Who's this and what in the name of all things sacred and holy is she wearing?" Rosie demanded.
"See? Told you it's unacceptable. They were trying to convince me I looked fine. I told them, well, maybe in 2006 it's acceptable, but it's what, 1436? I don't exactly remember the year from the books..." Lilly explained.
"It's 1423, and come to our room with me; you can borrow a dress of mine, for now. You boys set up dinner, or supper, or whatever meal's next. Now as for you, dear, you look positively starved. Wherever you're from, I do hope they feed you!" Rosie chortled as they walked down the hallway.
"She does look a bit thin, don't you think?" Sam asked, back in the kitchen.
"I dunno, she looked good to me!" Frodo said, and they all laughed.
Merry broke off, "Frodo, my dear old boy, I think we've finally found you a girl, mate!"
"But..."Pippin protested.
"Oh, I see...you wanted her, huh Pip?" Sam asked
"Oh, no, Frodo can have her. She's too old for me. I'm still a youngin, right?" Pip concluded.
"When is your 33rd birthday, huh?" Frodo wanted to change the subject. Maybe Lilly was his last-ditch attempt at a girl, but he didn't want to share her, the way his friends and he shared Rosie. She was like a mother hen, and then Sam got to take her home at the end of the day. He liked to keep girls to himself...maybe she could cook for them, but she couldn't bend to their every will. They already had Rosie for that.
Pippin never got the chance to tell them when his birthday was, because Lilly and Rosie were back. Lilly looked stunning, her long golden curls were pulled half-up and tied with a green ribbon to match the dress. Her powder blue eyes met the electric blue of Frodo's, and she felt her ivory complexion grow hot. As a cover up, she spun, as if to show off the dress. Her 3' 4" stature was frowned upon in the modern world, and especially with curves like hers, however she didn't look like your average midget. She looked like a real-life hobbit, and felt right at home here in Hobbiton.
"Well, I'm glad I kept a few of my teenage dresses, she's so tiny!" Rosie exclaimed, "Except I had to make a few adjustments on the top, she's got more chest than I ever had!"
This comment proceeded to turn Lilly's originally pink face an attractive shade of scarlet.
"I hope it doesn't look too bad, does it?" Lilly asked.
Frodo heard his voice before he was able to stop it, "I don't think that's possible."
While silently cursing himself, Lilly giggled, and asked, "Do you want to go for a walk before dinner? You could show me around, and now that I don't look too offensive, I hoped I could see the sights."
Knowing full well that in her heart, she meant see more of Frodo alone, she let him take her hand and lead her out into the sunshine.
