Authoress' Notes: I'm back with a new chapter! *Throws confetti* And I've got over fifty reviews!!!! That's an all time record for me!!!! *Gives all her reviewers cookies* THANKUUUUUUUU!!!!!

As you all know, after Bilbo's party Frodo got stuck with Bilbo's magic ring, and when he actually found out that the ring was actually the One Ring, he started racing around packing things up and such so he could leave the Shire. But just after Gandalf tells him to go to Bree, a problem arises…

Gandalf's ears immediately perked up as he heard a slight rustling noise outside of the nearest open window, then a few whispers as he motioned for Frodo to get out of sight.

"What are you DOING here?!"

"Well, what are YOU doing here you mad gardener?!"

"I'm trimming the grass and I am not mad!!!"

"Well, you must be if you're trimming the grass at this hour!"

"Well, at least I have a reason to be here! Why don't YOU explain what YOU'RE here for?!"

"I was just-!"

"Confound it all, have you two been eavesdropping?!" Gandalf demanded, yanking both Tersa and Samwise through the window and slamming them down on a nearby table. "Speak!"

"We weren't droppin' no eaves sir, honest! I was just cutting the grass under the window there, and Tersa- well, I don't rightfully know what Tersa was doing there, she may have been eavesdropping or something but-" Sam began, but was interrupted by Tersa smacking him in the arm.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I MAY HAVE BEEN EAVESDROPPING?!!?!?!?" Tersa snapped.

"Well YOU can't explain what you're doing here this late!" Sam replied hotly.

"Samwise you-!"

"SILENCE!" Gandalf roared. "What did you hear?!"

"Something about a ring and the apocalypse is all!" Tersa squeaked, flinching from Gandalf's glare.

"Please don't turn us into anything unnatural Mr. Gandalf, sir!" Sam pleaded desperately.

"There will be no need for that, I've thought of a better use for you Samwise." Gandalf said, letting go of the two hobbits he was pinning to the table. "You will go with Frodo on the quest to destroy the ring. As for YOU Tersa Took," Gandalf turned and glared at her again, "You are going straight home!"

"WHAAAAATTTTTT???!!!! I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID TOO YOU KNOW!!!! YOU JERKED ME THROUGH THE WINDOW JUST LIKE YOU DID HIM AND I DON'T GET TO GO ON ANY BLOODY QUEST!!!"

"Tersa Took quiet down!" Gandalf snapped, banging his staff on Bagend's floor for silence. "You are staying here! I don't care if you were eavesdropping as well, you are not leaving with Sam and Frodo!"

"Why can't I come!? I'm useful!!!" Tersa got down on her knees and started begging. " Pleeeease Dalfy, oh mighty nice old wizard person?"

"NO and do not call me Dalfy!" Gandalf snapped.

"Please! I don't want to be stuck here forever! PLEEEEASE?! Please please ple-" Tersa said then was cut off by Frodo.

"Tersa we may end up going on a long quest that could last years and may never see the Shire or our families again! Stay here where it's safe!"

"But Frodo-" Tersa began then felt Gandalf's hand on her shoulder.

"Frodo, Sam, finish packing so we may leave at first light tomorrow." Gandalf said then as Frodo and Sam started gathering up things, kneeled down in front of Tersa so that they were at eye level. "You do not want adventure of the sorts that they will come across in this journey Tersa Took. Why do you wish to risk your life and follow them?"

Tersa cast a glance at Sam, but said nothing.

"I see." Gandalf nodded with a bit of a smirk. "You'll follow him where ever he may go, even if he may not feel the same?"

Tersa nodded. "He's my friend. I don't have very many friends, Gandalf."

"If you care that much about them, then stay here. They want you to stay where it's safe." Gandalf looked her directly in the eyes. "Stay." He said after a moment then got up, opened Bagend's front door, and motioned for Tersa to go. "Nothing here concerns you. Go home." He said after Tersa was out of the doorway and on the front step. "Go home." He repeated then closed the door, leaving Tersa standing outside in disbelief.

The next day, Sam and Frodo headed off to Bree, after receiving strict orders from Gandalf to stay off the road. The pair spent much of the day walking in silence, until they suddenly heard a loud thud and a couple of muffled curses behind them. After each grabbing a large stick for use as a weapon, they slowly crept towards a patch of grass that was shaking wildly.

"Bloody! Drat it drat it! Damn these evil weeds! I am so dead if Sam and Frodo find out-" Tersa looked up to find two very annoyed hobbits glaring down at her. "I'm… here… um… hi… guys…"

"I told you to stay at home, Gandalf told you to stay at home! Don't you listen to anyone?!" Frodo asked angrily as Tersa slowly got up, brushing some of the dirt off of her brown pants, vest, and cream-colored shirt. "And WHAT are you doing wearing my clothes?!"

"Well, I figured if I was going to go after you I should at least wear something I could run in." Tersa shrugged guiltily, adjusting her pack. She received no reply, save two glares. "You're going to send me home now aren't you?" She asked timidly.

"If we were any closer to Hobbiton or any other place where I knew someone, I would." Frodo said after a moment. "And even if I did try to send you home, you would just follow us anyway wouldn't you?"

Tersa nodded. "I refuse to be left behind while you two have all the fun!"

Frodo sighed, then turned around and started walking. "Come on then."

"Yay!" Tersa cheered, then hurried to catch up with Sam, who was a couple of steps behind Frodo. "I finally get to do something interesting!"

"You are truly maddening for a twenty seven year old, you know that?" Sam said, watching Tersa skip along side him happily. "We're going off away from home, probably for a long while, and you act like we're just going to the Green Dragon for a bit of ale and will be back before nightfall!"

"Actually, I would not be NEARLY this happy if we were going to the Green Dragon." Tersa replied, slowing down to a walk again. "I hate that place. Plus, ale tastes horrid. I don't see why you four drink it, even though Merry and Pippin ARE rather amusing when drunk."

"You just don't like the Green Dragon because Rosie's there." Frodo smirked, glancing over his shoulder at Tersa. "You don't like competition for Sam's affections."

"No, I don't like Rosie because she's an annoying snob." Tersa growled, spots of red in her cheeks. "Don't open your mouth unless you know what you're talking about Frodo."

"What? What are you two talking about?" Sam asked, rather confused.

Frodo just grinned and continued walking.
