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!
