'Andrea....Andrea....your drunk!' I laughed as Andrea jumped into Merry's arms and they were twirling all over the pub. 'Your not so fun when your drunk Andrea.'

'I agree with you there Alysha.' Frodo said while Andrea and Merry ran into Pippin, causing them all to fall with a small 'thud'.

'They are always fool's though, i'll never figure them out.' Sam said with a sigh.

'They are annoying though, and really loud.' Frodo said. He got out of his chair and stood in front of me. 'I'm going for a short walk, do you want to come Alysha?'

'Sure.' I said while standing up. 'Sam, can you take care of them for me?' My eyes widened. 'I sound like my mother.'

'Well they need to be mothered anyway, I'll make sure Andrea dosent hurt herself.'

'Thanks Sam!' I yelled while walking out of the pleasently warm Pub. As soon as we stepped on the soft ground we heard a great deal of yelling and things being broken. Frodo and I gave each other odd glances and were ready to go back in when Andrea came barging out with Merry right behind her.

'Merry your gross!' She screamed.

'I'm sorry!'

Soon after, Sam came running out in a angry frenzy. Andrea and Merry ended up running off into the woods yelling at each other.

'See what I have to deal with?' Frodo said.

'I dont wanna see.'

'Well I think we should head home, its getting cold, and I'm afraid of being killed by Andrea and Merry right here in the Shire.'

'Thats a good plan Frodo, lets go.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We got to Bag End and it was fairly dark. The window in the study was open and it was letting a cold breeze filter through the house.

'Scary.' I whispered slowly as we walked farther into the study. Behind me I heard a sharp gasp and I turned around quickly to find Gandalf holding Frodo and looking very scared.

'Is it secret? Is it safe?' he asked anxiously.

'Um, yes.' Frodo said as he walked over to a box in the corner and started looking through it. 'Ah.' he said as he pulled a familiar envelope from the bottom. Gandalf quickly ran over to the fire and threw it in like it was poison or something. 'What are you doing Gandalf?' Frodo asked in confusion. The envelope quickly burnt away, leaving the ring uncovered. Gandalf grabbed a pair of tongs and gently removed it.

'Hold out your hand, Frodo. Its quite cool.' Gandalf said as he plopped the ring into Frodo's hand. 'What can you see? Anything?'

He looked at Gandalf like he lost his mind and began to look at the ring closely. 'No, nothing. Wait.....' He looked at it more closely and his eyes widened. 'There are marking, its some type of Elvish, but I cant read it.'

'There are very few who can. The language of Mordor, one I will not speak here.' Gandalf said.

'Mordor?' Frodo asked.

'Ok this is very weird, and very scary. Dude, its just a ring, whats the big deal? You people are looking at it and talking about it like its the end of the world!' I said. They both turned to me, sighing.

'It is the end of the world.' Gandalf said.

'Oh yeah sure.' /Geez, what are these people on?/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'This is the one ring Alysha, forged by Sauron in the fires of Mount Doom. Isildur took it from Sauron himself.' Gandalf explained.

'Biblo found it, in a creatures cave. Gollum's cave.' Frodo said aloud.

'For sixty years, Biblo had kept him, giving him the look of youth, delaying his old age. But not now.' Andrea and Merry then ran into Bag End laughing, causing Gandalf to jump in suprise.

'Oh wow, its that wizard, the one that did the fireworks.' said Andrea.

I sighed and shook my head. /Sometimes I wish I had never of met her, so damn annoying./ Then her and Merry fought over a chair and then they eventually fell asleep on the floor.

Gandalf gave them both weird glanced and then continued. 'Theres evil in Mordor. The ring is calling out to its master.'

'But Sauron was destroyed, how is it possible that he can call out to the ring.' Frodo argued. Some strange voices came from the ring as it was set on the table.

'No Frodo, his spirit survived. Saurons life was bound to the ring, and the ring survived. Sauron has returned. His armies of Orcs have multiplied. His fortress has been rebuilt in Mordor. He only needs to the ring to control all lands. He is looking for it, seeking it, all of his time thinking about it. The ring wants to go back to his master. They are the one, the ring and the dark lord. He must never get it.' Gandalf said.

Frodo then looked at me in fear and grabbed the ring off the table. 'Alright, we'll hide it. We'll put it away, and never speak of it. No one knows its here, do they?' Gandalf was very silent.

'I looked everywhere for the creature Gollum, the enemy found him first though. I dont know how long they tormented and tortured him, but amid the endless screams and babble, they heard two words. Shire and Baggins.' Gandalf rubbed his temple after his last words.

'Shire and Baggins! But that would lead them here! To The Shire! Frodo yelled, his eyes wide with fear. 'Take it, Gandalf! You must take it!'

'You cannot offer me the ring Frodo!'

'I am giving it to you!'

'Do not tempt me Frodo!' Gandalf stuttered. 'I would not take this ring, not even to keep people from harm. I would use this ring to do good, but through me, it would brew a power to great to imagine.'

'But it cannot stay in The Shire!' he cried.

'No, your right Frodo. It cant.'

I grabbed Frodo's hand, and he squeezed it tightly. 'What must I do?'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We all packed and got ready to go, Frodo, me, and Andrea were back in the study. Andrea rubbed her eyes.

'Did you have to get drunk today Andrea? There were plently of times before this to do it!' I exclaimed.

'I'm sorry ok? I didnt mean for this to happen.'

'I'm just really suprised that Gandalf let us go with Frodo, he wouldnt let Merry and Pippin go though. '

Frodo walked into the room and smiled. 'I knew you'd come with me, whether Gandalf approved or not.'

'Yes, you know Andrea and I too well Frodo.' I said.

Gandalf walked into the room, he looked at us and smiled. 'You know, hobbits are the most amazing creatures. You can learn everything there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you!' There was a rustle in the bushes outside the window. 'Get down.' Frodo pushed me to the ground, and Andrea fell to the floor after us. Gandalf went out to the window, thrusted his staff out the window, wacked something, and dragged Sam in through the window by his shirt. 'Confound it all! Samwise Gamgee! Have you been eavesdropping?'

Sam looked very scary, almost to death. 'I aint been droppin' no eaves, sir, honest. I was just trimmin' the grass under the window there, follow me?'

'Isnt it a bit late to be out and about?'

'I heard raised voices sir.'

'What did you hear? SPEAK!'

'Nothing all that important. Well, I heard a great deal about this evil ring, a dark lord, and something about the end of the world. But please dont hurt me, sir, dont turn me into anything.' he stammered.

'No.' He turned to us and grinned. 'Maybe not. I have a better use for you Samwise.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
