Chapter
17 "A song for Sandy"
Evening turned to night, as
now the room from which Frodo was in, was pure dark, there were many
chatters about, many hobbits excited about the party as it was
quickly being set up. Frodo awoke to the dark filled room, feeling
his much energy that was lost during the time of his illness was back
once again, Riella who had crawled on the couch with him was still
asleep on his stomach with her head laying on his chest, he smiled
again and stroked her long blonde curls, and began to think of Sandy,
and how much he loves her, he began to hum softly, then the humming
began to turn into singing, as he sang a song about her.
"I
never knew, I could feel like this, like ive never seen the sky
before, want to vanish, insert your kiss, everyday i love you more
and more, listen to my heart, can you hear it sing, telling me to
give you everything, seasons may change, winter to spring, but i love
you until the end of time, come what may, come what may, I will love
you until my dying day.." Frodo sang softly with the
beautifulness of his voice with one single tear falling from his eye,
something then startled him, and he turned around to find Sandy at
the door with tears in her eyes. Frodo looked down quickly, a bit of
embarrassment came over him, he didnt expect Sandy to be there and
hearing him sing. Sandy then walked over to him and began to sing as
well, "Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place, suddenly
it moves with such a perfect grace, suddenly my life doesnt seem such
a waste, it all revolves around you" as she sang, Frodo began to
sing along with her, their voices united as one, as they continued
singing, "And thats no mountain too high, no river too wide,
sing out this song and ill be there by your side, storm clouds may
gather, but stars may collide, but i will love you....until the end
of time, come what may, come what may, i will love you until my dying
day." As they finished singing, their voices fading as one, they
looked into eachother eyes with so much love and passion that both of
their hearts were racing, nothing at that moment could break them
apart. "Your voice...." Frodo began saying, but was quickly
interuppted when Sandy leaned in and gave him a kiss.
"Mr.
Frodo!" Sam yelled as he walked into the room and quickly seen
Frodo and Sandy kissing. "Woah! I am sorry I did not mean to
interupt a passionate moment" Sam said. "No Sam, it is
okay, your welcome to come in here, me and Sandy were just having one
of our moments together" Frodo said smiling. Sandy just giggled
as she listened to Frodo trying to explain as she stroked Frodo's
back. "Oh well then, I heard singing voices, they were
beautiful, like the Elves singing back in Rivendell, and I was a
wondering if you heard them as well?" Sam asked. "Actually
Sam, those were not the voices of the Elves, nor other hobbits, but
was of me and Frodo" Sandy said smiling. "You and Frodo?
Singing? Why! It was beautiful! You two have really wonderful
voices!" Sam said. "Why thank you Sam" Frodo said.
"Yes thank you Sam, that is very sweet of you" Sandy said.
"Ah! I see Riella has not left your side Frodo since your
arrival" Sam said pointing at Riella who was asleep still on his
stomach. "Why yes, she must be very fond of me, as I am to her,
such a sweet child" Frodo said. "She is adorable!"
Sandy said. "Thank you Sandy, but I must be getting her off your
hands now Frodo, the party will soon be a starting, and you best be
getting ready" Sam said picking Riella up who let out a soft
whine and turned her head and wiping her eyes. "As much as I
hate to break apart from her and her attachment towards me, I am
afraid you are right, It is my party, I must be getting ready"
Frodo said. "No worries, if she is up later on, I will bring her
out to the party" Sam said. "Thats good, see you later
Riella, you be a good girl" Frodo said kissing her on the head.
Riella was awake enough to wave her little hand to Frodo and then
layed her head back on Sam's shoulder as he took her to the next
room.
"She is simply adorable" Sandy said. "Yes,
shes a cute child, whom will grow up to be such a beautiful hobbit,
just like you my dear Sandy" Frodo said grabbing her hand. "Awww
that is so sweet of you, I love you Frodo Baggins" Sandy said
clutching his hand tight. "I love you too Sandy Gamgee"
Frodo said. "By the way Frodo, how are you feeling? Much
better?" Sam asked as he walked back into the room. "Ohh I
am feeling so much better, thank you for asking Sam, I am glad to be
feeling better, it would be awful to be feeling under the weather and
miss the party" Frodo said. "Miss the party?!!! NONSENSE
FRODO BAGGINS! YOU ARE THE PARTY!" Merry yelled as he stumbled
in the door. "Merry!!!!!" Frodo exclaimed as he ran towards
him giving him a huge hug. "How in earth have you been? The
Undying Lands not being what it expected was it?" Merry asked
giving Frodo a huge hug back. "I have been good, the Undying
Lands are spectacular, the most amazing place to be, while I was
there though, I missed the Shire and you guys so much" Frodo
said. "So is this a definate come back, are you staying?!"
Merry asked. "No No, I am here only for a short time" Frodo
said. "Oh? why such a short time?" Merry asked. "Well..uh,
according to Gandalf, a short time is required for me to visit the
Shire, sadly enough, I am only here for a short amount of time"
Frodo said as he looked at Sandy. "Short amount of time, well,
what are we waiting for Frodo, the party awaits your presence and
just standing here is wasting the bit of time you have here"
Merry said grabbing Frodo's hand. "Oh but Merry I must change!
This outfit is rather old and dirty" Frodo said. "Do not
worry Frodo, it looks fine, and the guests will not care of what
outfit you wear, its all casual like its always been in the past
parties, you for one Frodo should know that!" Merry said. "I
suppose your right, by the way Merry I would like you to meet Sandy,
she travelled here with me, I met her in the Undying Lands, she has
some amazing stories!" Frodo said pushing Sandy in front of him
lightly where she was standing behind him hiding her face in shyness.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Sandy" Merry said holding out
his hand. "It is nice to meet you too Merry" Sandy said
shaking his hand. "Oh come now, no need to be a handful of
shyness around me" Merry joked. "Im not" Sandy said
sticking her tongue out. "You are, no need to be, Merry is a
sweet hobbit, a prankster and a mischief maker around here, youll
find him in trouble almost all the time" Frodo said laughing.
"Hey now, just because Me and Pippin are trouble makers here
doesnt make us bad people, why..we were warriors back in the day"
Merry said folding his arms. "Oh now that worries me even more"
Sandy joked. "No no in all serious, him and Pippin are two of
the craziest hobbits besides me and Sam, you gotta love them and
their sense of careness within them" Frodo said. "Now i
feel not worried, you speak of Pippin, where is he, I would like to
meet your partner in crime!" Sandy said laughing. "Yeah,
where is ol Pippin" Frodo asked. "He is out at the party
helping them set up, or dancing around like a idiot" Merry
laughed. "You mean a wrecking it" Sam said laughing. "Well
what are we waiting for, lets go out to the party!" Sandy said.
"We shall" Frodo said. "I hope they have tons of ale
ready for me to drink!" Merry said. "I suppose you dont
need anymore, your already all over the place" Sam said. "Oh
come now, nothing is too much for me!" Merry said walking
weirdly. Frodo just smiled at Merry, he was happy to be back in the
Shire, seeing all of his friends, whom was extremely heartbroken the
day of his leaving, he let out a big sigh and grabbed Sandy's hand,
Sandy clutched his hand tight and smiled at him. Frodo, Sam, Merry,
and Sandy left Sam's home and headed their way to the party, they
could hear in the distance the sound of music and chattering about
from alot of hobbits who were already there having a blast.
End
of chapter! Chapter 18 will be "The Welcome Home Party"
I
decided to seperate those two in 2 different chapters, instead of
having it as one, so this chapter concentrated on the song for Sandy
and chapter 18 will be concentrated then on the welcome home party,
which i have amazing ideas for!!! This chapter i loooooovee, because
of the singing moment with Frodo and Sandy, i thought that would be
awesome to have, and considering im in love with "Come What May"
from the moulin rouge soundtrack (as well as LOVE the movie moulin
rouge) i thought this song would of been perfect to have Frodo sing
and then to have Sandy come in and start singing with him, absoulutly
perfect! I did have various of songs i was thinking about that would
of been perfect for Frodo to sing, like the song that would of been
really perfect "Visualize", but then as i listened to the
moulin rouge soundtrack, and listened to "Come What May" i
thought it would be absoulutly PERFECT for the moment!
I hope
you guys love this chapter as much as I do! PLEASE PLEASE POST
FEEDBACK!
