I am so sorry that it is taking me so long to update. I have the next chapter typed up and I am just waiting to get it back from MBradford, who is editing it for me. I hope that you will all like it, I spent a lot of time on it and it longer than most of my chapters. It should be up in the next few days. My life has just been very hectic lately and I feel very guilty for not updating. I had to go the Juvenile Traffic Court, because back around Christmas I got in a car accident. The judge was very lenient and he only made me pay $85 and take 6-hour defensive driving course, which I have to take in the next month. Right now I am finishing up my Midterms tomorrow and My Prom is on Saturday.

Here is a little clip from the chapter:

~*~ "It is odd that you should ask that, because Merry said the something similar to that back at Bag End earlier. I figured it was just because Frodo was gone. Do you think he means anything by it? What if—"

"This whole conversation is preposterous and pointless." Dr. Bolger broke in, "Your cousin is suffering from a deadly disease that is causing him to be delusional. All that he is speaking of is a combination of stray thoughts and fevered impulses. So let us focus on what is at hand."

Whether from frustration or weariness, something in Sam seemed to snap. "And what's exactly at hand?" Sam said sharply, "What ARE you doing?"

Thanks again to everyone for reviewing and being patient with me.
