A SPECIAL FRIENDSHIP
BETWEEN AN ELF AND A HOBBIT

CHAPTER ONE
Trip Plans.
"Frodo? Come on Frodo please, eat something," said Bilbo looking with concern at his small nephew.

"I'm not hungry Uncle Bilbo," said Frodo. The thirteen year old played with the food on his plate, not looking at his uncle.

Bilbo looked over at Gandalf who was on the other side of the table with concern still in his emerald green eyes, Gandalf looked at Bilbo and nodded toward door signaling Bilbo that he wanted to talk to him.

"Frodo, I need to go talk with Gandalf in the other room for a minute ok? I'll be right back try to eat something please," said Bilbo as he and Gandalf left the room.

"Yes Gandalf, do you have an idea?" asked Bilbo wondering why Gandalf wanted to talk to him now.

"Bilbo, Frodo is wasting away to nothing, if people didn't know him they my think him much younger then he really is," said Gandalf he was as worried as Bilbo was.

"I know Gandalf, but I don't know what to do, ever since his parents died his been eating less and less, all he does is sit in that chair and stare out the window, he doesn't even read any more," said Biblo sneaking a peak at his nephew pleased to see that he was at least eating a little.

"Bilbo I think maybe we should take him to Rivendell, or maybe Mirkwood just for say a few months just to get him out the Shire and thinking about something else besides his parents death," said Gandalf.

"That is a good idea Gandalf, why not Rivendell I think Frodo would like that," said Bilbo.

"I would like what Uncle?" Bilbo and Gandalf jump in surprise at hearing the small voice, they turn around and there was Frodo by the door to the kitchen waiting for an answer. "Frodo, how would you like to go on a trip to Rivendell." Said Bilbo looking kindly at his nephew.

"Rivendell, you mean you know were it is? I thought only elves knew where it was." Said Frodo in surprise.

"Well it helps to know all the right elves Frodo, and believe me I know them all," said Gandalf.

"You mean you and Uncle Bilbo would really take me there," said Frodo.

"Only if you want to go," said Bilbo already knowing what his nephews answer was going to be.

"I would love to go very much Uncle Bilbo," said Frodo.

"Good when do you want to leave?" asked Bilbo this was Frodo's trip and he got decide when they left.

"I don't know, how about the end of the week," said Frodo hoping that was not too soon for his Uncle.

"That would be fine with me Gandalf can you join us then," asked Bilbo.

"Yes I can I need to talk to Elrond any way the end of the week would be fine," said Gandalf pleased that Frodo seem excited about it.

"Then the end of the week it is," said Bilbo.

I wrote this a few years ago when I first saw the Lord of the Rings, so please review and let me know if you want me to keep going on it.
