"This is the third time I got stuck on an island, at least this time I wasn't marooned on it. This is pointless, we should've just waited on the beach, at least then there would be a chance of someone findin' us and there would be less walkin'," Jack said.
They have been walking for almost two days and they were all tired of it. "I told you, we shouldn't have come in here. We're probably lost and we'll never find the shore again," Demitri said in a know-it-all attitude.
"We should turn back, there's still a chance that we can find the shore" Liz said.
"No, there's no point in going all the way back when we've been walking for two days." Ari said. Everyone was arguing now. Liz, Jack, and Demitri wanted to go back to the shore and Faith and Ari didn't want to go back. Will was just standing there watching everything happen.
"Everyone just shut up!" everyone stopped there arguments and looked at Will in confusion of his little outburst. "Listen," they could hear soft music playing a couple of miles in front of them, "Hear that? Music,"
They started walking to the sound and when they got out of the trees they were on a hill that was towering over a little town. They saw the place where the music was coming from and they saw a little party going on near the bottom of the hill. They were so happy that they found people they didn't care about who they were.
As they reached the bottom of the hill the people stopped the music and merry making and stared at them… not many people go in and out of that forest, so they were all in shock. They weren't the only ones though, everyone except Ari and Will were shocked that all the people there were small!
"Good evening, my dear hobbits. I am sorry to interrupt your feast, but may I ask what part of the Shire is this?" Will asked.
"You are in the western part, the Westmarchs," said a hobbit that was nearest to them.
"Uh… Will, where are all the adults…?" Liz said form behind Will.
"They're here somewhere, hobbits are really short, even the adults," he whispered to her.
"Um… sir, would you and your company care to join us at our feast, have a drink maybe?" said a hobbit.
"Drink? Oh
we'd love one! Thank you so much!" Jack said not caring about the short people
anymore, just about the drinks.

After a long day of having fun and drinking the party ended and it was time for everyone to go home.
"So… um…. What are we supposed to do now?" Faith asked.
"Well, where are ya'll heading of too?" said a hobbit that was cleaning up after the party.
"England" Liz said.
"England? Where is that?" he asked.
"Well, it's through those trees and across the ocean," Liz said.
"The ocean? Oh, then we cannot help you with that. Us hobbits don't cross the ocean, we don't even like crossing the river!"
"Um, well, is there anywhere where we can get a ship so we can go back?" Demitri asked
"We only have small boats to occasionally cross the river, but the only ones that make ships that I know of are the elves, you could ask them to give one to you but they are very far away from the Shire. There are only Wood Elves around here. Go to Rivendell, they will most likely give you one." He said.
"Elves? You must be jokin'" Jack said.
"What? Joking? About what??" said the confused little man.
"You mean you actually believe in elves, little tiny people with pointy little ears," Demitri said, laughing about the thought of meeting elves here.
"Tiny? No! Elves are tall! Very tall! And they do have pointy ears and they have very sharp senses so they are very dangerous. You do not want to be on there bad side, but I think they are usually friends with humans so if you are nice then there is no need to worry,"
They all looked like they were about to burst out laughing about these elves that this man was describing. Ari and Will were just watching as the hobbit was getting more and more confused about why these people haven't ever heard of the elves.
"O.k…. so if you need a ship, I suggest you get a boat and go down the River Lhun and the walk down to the Lake Evendim and go down the Brandywine River then you should be around Bree by then. It'll be easier to go by river then walking," the hobbit said.
"Thank you, I guess we should be going though, I would like to reach the river before we rest, we'll get there quicker if we rest on the boats instead of land," Will said and told everyone to get ready to leave.
Hey! Sorry it took so long! and that's its kinda short, sorry ^_^' i'll write more, I promise! I will!!
