"Do you hear me Tersa Took?" Bringina Took demanded, looking at her silent daughter as they walked up to the front door of Bagend. "None of that anti-socialist whatnot that you usually do at parties."
"Yes mother." Tersa responded in tonelessly her mother knocked on the hobbit hole's round door.
Bilbo soon flung the door open and shuffled them inside talking about everyone and everything that was going on at the party at that moment. "Thank you for coming Brigina, and you too Tersa." He smiled warmly at them both then began to look around. "Where is that nephew of mine? Frodo!" He called over the noise and soon the brown haired 22 year old was at his side.
"Yes Bilbo?" Frodo asked cheerfully.
"This is Brigina Took and her daughter Tersa." Bilbo said.
Frodo bowed. "Nice to meet you both! Ms. Took, would you mind terribly if I took Tersa to meet my friends Peregrin, Samwise, and Meriadoc?"
Brigina laughed. "No, I don't mind. If Tersa wants to go with you it's alright with me."
"Thank you Ms. Took! Tersa, would you like to meet them? Maybe?" Frodo asked, and Tersa nodded.
"Why not?" She muttered as Frodo led her though the crowd of adults into the kitchen where the other three boys were.
"That's Tersa?" Peregrin asked as Frodo walked into the warm kitchen with the brown-haired, blue-eyed hobbit lass following behind him. "From what Rosie said, we expected a de- ow! Merry why'd you hit me?!" Pippin rubbed the back of his head half expecting to be bleeding. "I'm just telling the truth!"
"Well, Rosie tends to exaggerate." Merry gave Pippin a disapproving look. "And you shouldn't repeat everything you hear besides."
"Well, sorry. Anyway, we should probably introduce ourselves." Pippin stepped forward and bowed. "I'm Peregrin Took, also known as Pippin, the hobbit lad who just hit me over the head is Meriadoc Brandybuck, also known as Merry, and the quiet hobbit over at the table is Samwise Gamgee, also known as Sam!"
Tersa smiled. "I'm Tersa Took. I'm not really known as much of anything else except someone who is *very* 'unsocial'." She rolled her eyes. "I can't help it if everyone avoids me." She suddenly realized that all of the four were staring at her. "Erm… sorry… ignore my rambling."
"It's not that, it's just…" Frodo trailed off and Sam finished his statement for him.
"You look much more like Mr. Frodo than Peregrin."
Tersa blushed a little. "I know, odd isn't it? Well, I'll leave you alone now, I'm sure you don't want to be caught near an outcast like me. It was nice to meet you all." Tersa said then gave them a brief half smile as she paused in the doorway, then left the room and disappeared into the crowd.
YAY! End of Chapter 2!! I hope you guys are happy with this so far, and I'll see what I can do about all the votes for Tersa ending up with Frodo.^^ Review nice peoples, and I'll post as soon as I can!
