Freda

Disclaimer: Do not own anything. Would I want to own a dwarf woman? No not really. I created her, but I'm donating her to Andrew, whose not here right now, so it'll be at his house soon. Anyway I'll quit jabbering and get to the story.

The next night at their camp, Gimli had been watching the hobbits who were, well there was no other word for it, gossiping.

"So, did you here about one of the Hardbottle girls marring a Proudfoot? There was a big brawl over it in the Green Dragon."

"Oh that's old news, did you know about old Gresham got up the nerve to ask Bellina Bracegirdle."

"Mhm heard that, it didn't work out."

"Not what I heard Frodo, I heard Gresham proposed and she accepted, they were to be married in March."

"No, I'm telling you they broke up."

"Well, I saw them at the Green Dragon and they seemed to ignore each other."

"Sam, when you are at the Green Dragon you does nothing but stare at Rosie."

Gimli shook his head.

"A bunch of old wives you sound like, you four."

"I'll have you know," said Merry "That this is a favorite pastime of hobbits, it is quite fun. Would you like to join?"

Gimli shook his head. "I'm afraid dwarfs are not into gossiping."

"Wait, Gimli, if you do not gossip, then tell us about your sweetheart."

Gimli nodded slowly "All right I will. Where shall I begin?"

"How you met her."

"Okay, I met her at one of the many events that we dwarfs have..."

Legolas interrupted "Dwarfs have events that do not involve mining? That is a surprise."

"There are many things about dwarfs that would surprise you Master Elf. Now if I can continue? I was introduced to her by my good friend Yolder, it was his cousin you see, and she lived on the other side of the mountain, but she was staying with her Auntie and Uncle for the time being, seeing how they were redoing the hall on that side.

"Well, we spent the whole night talking, and drinking, and feasting. We got to know each other quite well. Then I began to see her more and well you know..."

"No," said Pippin "We don't know, that's why we asked."

Legolas snorted

"Humph, well I saw her just a bit before we left for Rivendell and I promised I shall wed her if I am to return, and she promised me her heart. So it will be the Valor's will if I am to see her again."

"Sounds a bit like Legolas's story, don't you think Frodo?" Merry elbowed Frodo.

"Yes, you two might have something in common after all."

The dwarf and elf rolled their eyes.

"Master Hobbit, I don't believe a dwarf and an elf can agree on anything together." Said Gimli

"You agreed to go on this journey together, did you not? And you promised to go with us to the end, did you not? Yes, I believe you can agree on something together."

"Maybe."

That really sucked.

Couldn't think of like a dwarvish romance ya know?

So sorry, next ones better.
