The War of the Sugar Coma
Chapter 6: Bilbo's Party
Authoresses' Notes: Cavca: I'm pleased to say that this is the chapter where things will get slightly more on track to the book and the movie, but am sorry to say that this Lenquo is not in this chapter. She'll be back next chapter, though. I'm not just going to make this entire chapter about me, however. Tersa starts her POV this chapter. Thank you all for reading this far. I hope you like it. Oh, and most of this chapter has been edited to fit the plot from Chapter 12 of Tersa's fic Angel. It's on this site, if you wanna read the fic. It's really good. Thanks, once again to Tersa for letting us use her character.
Cavca's POV............
I was sitting outside with Tersa, Pippin, Merry, and Sam at Bilbo's birthday party. Pippin and Merry were scarcely drinking which meant they were plotting something. Sam, however, was drowning himself in ale. Thank GOD that hobbits don't get drunk easily. If they did, Sam would have been passed out on the floor and puking about 2 hours ago.
I was wearing the boys outfit that I had bought. Bilbo was disappointed but I'd rather be comfortable than liked.
I looked around at the dancing crowd. That's when I first saw him: the only boy I'd ever known that could take my breath away. I may seem shallow here, but I'd read all 3 books and I fell for him, okay? His looks aren't just all I like about him.(AN: I promise that this will not be a Mary Sue/Romance fic on my POV. Can't promise anything for the others. I just had to add something about it for the later plot line.) I fell for the nephew of my dear friend, Bilbo. Know who it is now? Good.
When I looked back up, Pippin, Merry, and Tersa were all gone. I could only imagine what they would do next.....................
Tersa's POV.............
"No, the big on!" I heard Merry yell when I held up a firework. Pippin and I were inside Gandalf's cart, rummaging through fireworks, trying to find one big enough for Merry.
"How about this, Merry?" Pippin asked holding up a certain dragon shaped firework.
"Yes, Get down! Get down!" Merry exclaimed jumping around. "Someone will see us!"
Ignoring Merry, I peered over the side of the cart. I watched the dancing. I saw her dancing. Glaring, I held my ground.
"Tersa, are you coming?" Pippin asked after he had crawled out of the cart.
"What? Yeah! Just set it off without me, alright?" I jumped off the cart and ran over toward the party. I sat down at a table next to Cavca. "Bloody barmaid.....let's burn her.....mmmm......flaaaaaames...." I heard Cavca snickering beside me.
"Tersa, WHAT are you muttering about?" Frodo said, sitting down directly across from me. "You've been bitter ever since Rosie showed up."
"Do not speak that name in my presence," I said glaring at him.
"Um, right." He turned around and then back. "And I shouldn't do this because........?"
"She is evil!" I almost screamed. "WHY did you have to shove Sam out there to dance with HER?!" I wanted to wring her neck. Frodo laughed.
"I don't believe it! You're jealous!" he said, amazed. "After all these years, you still have a crush on Sam!"
"I do not! Shut up if you know what's good for you! I just think he deserves better than that THING!"
"Jealous!"
"Shut up!"
"Admit it!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!!!"
"I'll have Bilbo announce it to half the Shire!"
My eyes went wide and my mouth dropped open. "You wouldn't dare!"
"I would." He smirked and started to get up.
"NO!" I screamed as I rushed around the table to block his path. "Please don't! I beg you, don't!"
"Alright."
"What?!" I'd expected him to put up a fight.
"I'll just have to do to you what I did to Sam." He shrugged. Then he shoved me into the circle of dancers and, with only Frodo's luck, I was flung into Sam.
"Er... hi Tersa. Frodo pushed you out here, too?" Sam asked.
"Yeah." I knew I was blushing, but I just couldn't look at Sam. "So, how are we going to get out of this fix?"...........
Cavca's POV............
Frodo was laughing as he collapsed on the bench across from me. That's when I got the perfect idea.
"Hey, Frodo!" I called. He looked up.
"Do I know you?"
"No, but do you want to help me?"
"What are you planning on doing?"
"Well, I was gonna try to get them to play a slow song while Tersa and Sam are trying to get out."
"Okay."..............
Tersa's POV................
Sam and I were almost to the outer ring of the dancing when the music changed. It was slower. The dancers paired off. Sam sighed.
"Do you wanna try and dance or get out?" I asked Sam.
"Well, it seems we're trapped here for now," he said.
I shot a look toward the band. I saw Cavca looking right at me. She was smiling and giving the victory sign. ^__^ v Frodo was beside her, laughing so hard, he was doubled over.
"I'm going to kill her," I muttered.
"Who?"
"Your cousin. Cavca and Frodo trapped us in here by getting them to play this song." Not that you're actually minding it, said a small voice in my head. SHUT UP! I screamed back at it. The song ended soon enough and the fiddle jig started playing again. Sam and I worked our way to the outer ring and escaped. I rushed over to where Cavca and Frodo were sitting.
"You should've, hahahahaha, seen, hahahahaha, your faces, hahahahaha, priceless," Frodo managed to get out between the fits of laughter.
"You're dead, Cavca," I said, ignoring Frodo.
"What did I do?" Cavca said pulling the innocent act.
"You-!" I half tackled her and she ran away laughing. I chased after her. I finally cornered her between 2 tents. "Gotcha."
"Oh, come on, Ters. You can't honestly say that you didn't want to be out there," she said still laughing.
Well, DUH! Shut up! "That's not the point!"
"Then what is?"
I really didn't have an answer for her.
"Whatever." I smiled to let her know I wasn't really going to kill her. It was also to say that she'd won the argument.
I walked back toward the party. I'd get her later..................
Cavca's POV...............
I sighed heavily. I figured I was dead. Trust me, Tersa is not one of those you want to get mad. I followed her back toward the party, knowing that I was in for it sometime in the next few days. Little did I know, it would come sooner than I thought.
I came out from between the two tents.
"Oh, good to see you're still alive," Frodo said falling into step next to me. "I thought for sure that Tersa was going to kill you."
"Well, I definitely need to watch my back for a while. She's gonna want payback for that." I sat down at the table and Frodo sat next to me.
"So, how do you think she'll get you back?" he asked looking at me.
"I don't know." I had turned to face him. "I'm dead if-"
Can you see what's coming next? Oh, come on, I've set this up too well. Okay, keep reading.
The next thing I know, I'm kissing Frodo. I did NOT plan this in the least, FYI. As soon as I realized what I was doing, which was half a second later, I pushed myself away.
"I'm so sorry! I-I-I didn't- I didn't, what I mean is-"I started when I heard the sound of someone trying not to laugh behind me. I spun around and found Tersa sitting 5 yards away, laughing silently almost falling out of her seat. I turned back around and saw Frodo still wide-eyed.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," I stammered.
"Wha-..... What just happened?" Frodo asked as his eyes focused on me.
"Um, well, ya see, well. Tersa pushed me into you and I'm really sorry. Please don't hate me."
He blinked a few times, looking me straight in the eyes. Then, without a word, he got up and walked toward the dancing.
"Nice," Tersa said, still half laughing.
"Fine... you've got your revenge, 3 fold. Happy?" I said glaring at her. It wasn't a menacing glare, however, it was supposed to be a joking glare.
"Oh, yeah. I'm good," she said.
"Good." I just hoped Frodo would forgive me................
Tersa's POV............
Okay, now THAT was funny. I had to do that, though. She asked for it.
I watched Cavca walk off in the direction of where Frodo had gone. I started walking around, trying to find something to do. I found Sam, who was sitting with Frodo. I started attacking Frodo with a napkin.
"Ack! Vicious napkin attack! Ack! Help!" he squawked.
"You're lucky I only have this as a weapon or I'd-" I was interrupted by the sound of a gigantic explosion. "What in nine hells?!" (AN: Cavca- Gotta love Tersa for that line.)
"Dragon!!!" someone yelled, pointing at the sky.
The next thing I knew, I was on the ground, with Sam's arm around my shoulders. The glittering dragon flew over my head and exploded high in the sky. "Those IDIOTS!" I sighed as I shook my head. I got up knowing exactly who was responsible.
"What?" Sam asked getting up as well.
"That was Merry and Pippin's doing.... Oh, and how, exactly, did I get on the ground?" I looked at him with mock suspicion. "Were you trying to save me?"
"Well, er..." He blushed and looked down. The tips of his ears started turning red. "I don't exactly know myself. It was sort of automatic." He looked up at me and our eyes met. He was still somewhat red. "I couldn't loose one of my best friends."
"Thanks, Sam." I smiled, then turned to where Bilbo was starting his speech. It was an excuse to hide my blushing.
Bilbo started his famous speech and I sat down next to Sam........
Hey, you guys, tell me if you think I should go into romance mode with either Sam and Tersa or Cavca and Frodo. If you say no, I'll just go with the plot line but I could make this fic really interesting if you said yes. Lenquo's romance will continue because Rydki was made for the part, literally, so for all you people who aren't big on the romance, Lenny's may be the only one you'll have to read. Thank you for reading.
