~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frodo quickly got dressed, still thinking about his dream. 'I wonder if I should tell anyone', Frodo thought ,' Sam would want to know, but I don't want to worry him.' As the hobbit shuffled out the door he tripped and fell on the cobblestone path that lead from the road to his house. Thankfully there was another hobbit waiting to help him up.

"Mr. Frodo! Are you alright? You took a nasty fall." As Frodo looked up he saw Sam hovering above him.

" I'm alright Sam, just wasn't looking where I was walking. I should be more careful."

" As long as you are alright, that's all I care 'bout."

" Thanks Sam." Frodo said as Sam pulled him up and retrieved his walking stick for him.

" Anyway Mr. Frodo I came up here to tell you my youngest as just said her first word."

" Really Sam! That's great!" Frodo said half- heartedly.

Sam sensed the lack of excitement in his friends voice and asked," Mr. Frodo, is something' botherin you? You don't seem yourself today."

" It's just a dream I had Sam, that's all." Frodo stated and started to walk away down the lane.

" Mr. Frodo wait!", Sam yelled as he ran to catch up with him, " why won't you tell me ? I really would like to help."

" No thanks Sam," Frodo said brushing past him, " I just need to go sort things out."

" Frodo," Sam said as he watched his friend walk away, but before he could say anymore his oldest daughter ran up to him.

" Da', Mum wants you to come eat your breakfast, its getting cold."

" Well we can't have that now, can we?" Sam said jokingly as he tickled his daughter. " Mr. Frodo I'll talk to you later." Sam yelled at Frodo as the hobbit disappeared into the woods.

Frodo walked quickly through the forest. He had traveled this path since he was a small hobbit, and knew it by heart. Most people would stop and look at the beautiful scenery that the forest displayed, but Frodo had a certain place in mind. It was a small stream in the middle of the forest, that ran from one end to the other. Its banks held a kind of magic for Frodo. Whenever he went there he felt relaxed, and could think out any problem he had. (He had even gone there when he found out he had to be the ring bearer)

Frodo sat down on a rock and began to think. ' What did it mean? What did he want to find? What had to be done? Who was that voice that saved him?' After a while Frodo looked into to the stream and saw his reflection. His short brown, curly hair was matted down in some places, and his usually bright blue eyes were dark and stormy. But as Frodo looked into the river again he saw that he was not alone.

"Hello Frodo, what have you been up to lately?"

Frodo jumped and turned around to find an old friend standing in back of him.

" Gandalf! You surprised me! I haven't seen you in a long while. Sorry I didn't hear you come up, I hope I didn't keep you waiting long."

" No, you didn't keep me waiting long, I came up quietly so I wouldn't be heard. But you looked like you were concentrating very hard on something."

" Yes, I was thinking about something." Frodo said.

" About your dream? It was that wasn't it?"

" Why yes," Frodo stammered, "how did you know that Gandalf? I mean I haven't told anyone, not even Sam."

" I didn't need someone to tell me about something if I am there." Gandalf said.

" What? You mean,, you were in my dream? I,,I don't understand. How?"

" You'll never fully understand everything Frodo."

" Well,,but,,,how? I mean, I've never heard of anyone being inside someone else's dream before."

" I used my magic to get into your mind and to protect you."

" Protect me from who? I was in no danger, it was just a

dream. I mean Sauron has been dead for 10 years." Frodo scoffed.

" Sauron hasn't been dead for 10 years. He has been regaining his strength, again."

" But,, the ring,, I destroyed it Gandalf," Frodo said as he lowered his head, " The ring was destroyed. Wasn't it? He can't keep on living if the ring is destroyed."

Gandalf knelt down to Frodo's height and looked at his face.

" Somehow it wasn't destroyed Frodo. It must still exist, and Sauron must be using it to regain power. That's what you saw in you dream, but he was looking for the ring." Gandalf said quietly.

"Then someone has to stop him," Frodo stated, " And that someone must be me, since I saw him."

" Frodo it is not your job to destroy him. You have already done it once."

" Then I'll do it again.", Frodo said determinedly, " I've already done it, I know what to do. If you send someone else out they might fail. But if you won't let me go, who'll do it?"

This silenced Gandalf for a while. The great wizard sat down on a rock and thought about Frodo's last question.

" You make a strong point, but I don't feel it fair to put you through that again." Gandalf started to say.

" Gandalf, I don't mind," Frodo said with a slight smile, " I am the only man qualified for the job."

" You mean the only hobbit. But though you are not the size of a man, you have the courage of two. So, Frodo Baggins, since you insist, You can stop Sauron if you wish,, I won't stop you."

" OK." Frodo said. He stood up and tipped his hat to Gandalf.

" I'll be leaving tomorrow, so you hurry and get your stuff." Gandalf said as he watched the hobbit nod and begin to walk out of the forest.
