Frodos Fling part II
{takes place after the end of the movie, after Frodo boards the ship and sails off.}
(Frodo, Elrond, Bilbo, Gandalf, Galadriel and Celeborn are all sitting in the lounge area of
the ship, with slight whispers of excitement flowing through their conversations.)
Frodo (stands up): Crew, I have a request of you all before we depart Middle Earth.
Elrond: And what would that be, master hobbit?
Frodo: I ask that I may have a quick transport to Emyn Muil to keep on a promise that I
made so long ago.
Gandalf: I shall ask of one of the great eagles to guide you there this moment then, so we
can best be off. (Gandalf steps outside, and a familiar moth flies down and carries his
message to the great eagles.) It is done then. It should only be an hour or two before we
are set to depart for good this time.
Frodo: Okay then. (sits down, and is soundless for about an hour until great wing flapping
is heard.) Thank you, Gandalf. (hugs Gandalf and climbs onto the back of the eagle.) To
Emyn Muil, quickly!
(The great eagle sets off at a very quick flight and Frodo desperately clings to the neck
feathers as he almost blindedly looks down at the quickly moving ground. Then a rocky
forest appears in his vision, and in a few short minuets, he is at the very spot where he
departed with Sam so very long ago. Frodo jumps down onto the earth.)
Frodo (shouting): Keita! I have returned from my quest! Keita!
(there is a slight sound of a bush rustling nearby, and Frodo immediately investigates it.
Just a squirrel..)
Frodo: Keita! Are you there? Keita!
Distant voice: Frodo? Frodo! Is that you?
Frodo: Yes, Keita?
(From a tall hill, Frodo makes out the figure of Keita, rushing down to greet him. She has
a big smile upon her face, and when she reaches him, she hugs him tightly and he picks her
up and twirls around a few times.)
Keita: Frodo!(he put her back down) I have missed you ever so much! Were you
successful? (he nods) That's so wonderful!
Frodo (extending his arm to the eagle): Shall you keep your promise now? Come with me,
we sail to the ends of Middle Earth together!
Keita: Yes! Yes, I will come! I would love to..(looks at his hand) what happened? Your
finger...
Frodo: A minor price to pay for destroying the ring of power. Now lets be off, I can tell
you all about my adventures when we arrive on the ship!
(They both mount the eagle, Keita in front, and again the eagle takes off at tremendous
speeds headed for the ship. When they arrive back on the ship, Frodo pats the eagle a
farewell and is first to re-enter the ship.)
Frodo: Friends! I would like to announce our last crew member, Keita! (Keita enters and
gazes at all the new people. She looks slightly nervous and clings to Frodo as he leads her
to his lounging area.)
Gandalf: So this is the promise you had to keep? Nice to meet you, lady-hobbit. I am
Gandalf the white.
Elrond: And I am Elrond, (begin to point at the others in the ship) this is Galadriel,
Celeborn, and Bilbo.
Keita (nervously): Hello. I'm Keita. I am Frodo's...(looks at Frodo) dear friend. (Galadriel
smiles)
Galadriel: Do not be afraid, young hobbit. I can see your true and kind hearted. We will
not harm you.
Frodo: Well, I will head to my quarters and catch up with Keita. See you at dinner
everyone!
(Frodo brings Keita down a small hallway, and at the end there is a door just their height
that Frodo opens and steps inside. There is a bed and a chair and desk. The room has
drawings of different creatures Frodo encountered on his journey and some with a little
writing beside them.)
Keita: Wow..did you do all these?
Frodo: Some, Sam did a few, Legolas did a few, Mary and Pippin did one...everyone did a
something. Have a seat (motions to the bed)
Keita: Thanks. (Frodo sits on the chair and lights his pipe) So, you finished your quest
now?
Frodo (puffing on his pipe): Yes, and I am sure glad that the ring is destroyed.
Keita (looking distracted as she traces the design of Frodo's blanket): I am very glad for
you.
Frodo (putting down his pipe): Then why do you not look so very pleased?
Keita: I...I don't know if I can handle this all..it is happening so fast. Many months go by
and I hear nothing of you and then, there you are. Taking me on a ship to the end of
Middle Earth. I just don't quite know what to feel right now. All I feel is numb.
Frodo (moves over to the bed next to her): I feel numb as well, from excitement,
happiness and loveliness. (Keita looks over to him, her eyes starting to fill with tears.)
Keita: Do you describe your feelings about me or of the trip?
Frodo: Of only you can I think about. (Keita starts to cry and hugs Frodo tightly for a
while, then retracts herself form him)
Keita: No one has every loved me so much before. I am now very glad I ran away from
home.
Frodo (looking slightly confused): Why is that?
Keita (wiping her face): Well, my family wanted me to marry Hentren, because it would
bring peace between his and our tribe. But he did not love me, he already loved another. I
felt very sad for him, so I left our tribe and did not let them know where I was. Last I
heard from the sparrow he was married to my sister and had a new child. I guess he will
never be with the one he truely loves.
Frodo: I am so sorry..(Frodo pauses, unsure of what to say. There is a silence in the room,
both staring blankly at the floor, until a knock on the door breaks their dazes)
Gandalf: Dinner is served now. Will you be joining us Frodo?
Frodo: Yes, in a minute. (they hear Gandalf leave) Are you going to be all right? I feel so
bad..I feel I may have deprived you from your desired destiny.
Keita (smiling again): No, dear Frodo. You have brought me back to my desired destiny.
(She then lightly kisses him on the cheek, opens the door, and leaves to the dining area.
Frodo is sitting on his bed, hand on his cheek, very uplifted that Keita has come back in his
life. He then gets off his bed and exits to the dining area.)
