Chapter The Arrival of the Fellowship.

Faramir's POV

Great. Eldarion is coming and I'm Goldi's boyfriend. This stinks. I have to dance with her. It's a formal ball in the ballroom of the Great Simials. The largest room in all of hobbiton. It has painted ceilings that are fifteen feet tall! There are large windows that reach from ceiling to the floor covering the walls. They look onto the lake that is moonlit and very pretty. The floor is marble from Gondor. On the side of the room opposite the windows is a long oak table It stretches from end to end and is covered in food. The room could hold one hundred people and not be crowded. It's awesome.

"Here!" I shouted running in. Nana frowned.

"I've got three." she showed me three outfits. One was green, one was blue, and one was a dark wine red.

"Try them on." she walked out. I tried on the blue and took it off. Nope. Red. No way. I tried on the green and grinned. I loved green. It looked great. Changing back I handed them to Nana and walked back outside to wait for the fellowship. After maybe an hour I heard a soft voice behind me.

"Master Faramir." I jumped and shot around. Legolas grinned and I laughed.

"That was mean! Scaring me like that!" He hugged me and we walked inside.

"How are you?" he asked and I led him into the kitchen. I told him the whole boyfriend thing and he just smiled.

"Far. Have you greeted the King?" he smiled. Oh, yes. This was King Thranduil.

"Oh, sorry. Good to see you king!" "This is your son." he shook my hand and grinned.

"Call me Thranduil." smiling he looked out the window.

"Here comes Aragorn." Legolas and I shot outside. "STRIDER!" Legolas shouted hugging his friend. A tall boy stood next to him and he grinned at me.

"Hi Far!"

"Eldarion! I can't believe how tall you are!" I grinned. Well, then again he was fourteen.

"Same to you." As the others came I couldn't help but grin at my friends. Later on Eldarion, Bo, and I sat by the party tree very bored. A young dark haired elf ran over and Eldarion broke into a grin.

"Hey Gilorn" the elf smiled.

"Hi Eldarion. You must be Boromir and Faramir." he smiled.

"Bo.." said Bo and I said "Far." the boy grinned. "This is Gilorn, son of Trindir." I felt my eyes widen. Trin. The elf who died. The elf had a small smile on his face.

"I feel bad not saying my whole name. I am Faramir, son of the Thain, Peregrin Took." he grinned and I smiled a well. We sat and talked until sundown and then were forced to change into our dress clothes. I joined Bo in the hallway. He was dressed in a blue-grey cloak that matched his eyes. We ran into Gilorn and Eldarion both dressed in their own fancy clothes. We walked into the huge dance hall. It was not packed and couples were dancing to soft music.

We were laughing and joking around when Goldi and Stella walked over. Goldi was dressed in a sky blue. It fit her wonderfully. She was even wearing makeup. Soft blush and lip paint. Her brown eyes were sparkling and her long golden hair fell around her shoulders. Stella was dressed the same but in a red dress and her long black hair was tied up.

"You're suppose to dance with me." she said her eyes flashing. With a sigh I nodded and she led me out as a new slow song started. Why slow!

"You look nice." she said as we started dancing.

"So do you." I replied softly. Glaring at Eldarion and Gilorn who were snickering. Now, I wasn't a bad dancer actually I'm pretty good, but I didn't want to and zoned out. Suddenly she stepped on my foot to get my attention.

"Are you looking forward to becoming Thain?" she asked.

"No, not really. I don't want to take on the responsibility." I grinned and she laughed.

"I'm getting hot in here. Do you want to talk outside?" I asked with a smile. She nodded and we wove our way through the crowds to the balcony.

"I don't really like big parties." I said softly. Then I looked at her. Her face seemed to soften in the moonlight. Then a thought rushed through my head. A thought I had never wanted to have. I had fallen in love.

I had fallen in love with Goldilocks Gamgee.

Pippin's POV

I sat in the kitchen and looked at the huge mound of dirty dishes I was to clean. Oh yes Diamond was here but she was too busy changing out of work clothes and into a nice dress. A loud knock rang though the room.

"Come in!" I said thinking it was Far. I turned and saw King Thranduil. I jumped about two feet and then did a clumsy bow.

"My lord." I muttered.

"None of that! We are friends! Only people who I don't know or don't like do that." he smiled. I smiled back. Suddenly the door banged open and Legolas and Far walked in.

"Far, have you greeted the King?" I asked smiling.

"Oh. Sorry. Good to see you King." he grinned and shook the king's hand. I was about to tell him to greet the king properly but then Thranduil grinned and greeted my son the same way.

"This is defiantly your son." I laughed softly. Suddenly soft horse hooves echoed though the yard.

"Aragorn!" and Legolas and Far had disappeared. A few minutes later Aragorn, Legolas, and Arwen walked in grinning.

"Welcome!" I almost shouted as I hugged each. Diamond walked in.

"Hello! Pleased to see you." she hugged Arwen and shook Aragorn and Legolas' hands. We talked for awhile when a young elf walked in shyly. He looked slightly familer.

"My lords." he bowed. "I am here to ask if there is anything I am needing to do."

"No thank you. This is Gilorn son of Trindir. I believe you knew him." I felt the small smile slide off my face. Trin's son. I didn't know he was married and had a son.

"Pleased to meet you. You father was a very good person." I smiled. I saw a small grin flash onto his face and he bowed low to me.

"Gilorn, Eldarion is outside with Far and Bo." Thranduil smiled at the boy.

"Thank you my lord." he bowed again and left. We all talked and laughed like the old times.

"Dear, we better be getting dressed. See you all at the ball." Diamond smiled and curtsied. I shook their hands and followed. When we got to our room Diamond smiled and walked into the dressing room. The dressing room was just a large room with all of her clothes, a mirror, and lots of make-up. I looked through my stuff and pulled out my old armor. It had been polished recently and now the candle light glistened on the gold. I changed quickly and quickly put my Lorien cloak on over it.

"You look nice." I heard Diamond say. I turned and froze. She looked like the young hobbit I had married all those years ago. She was dressed in silver and her hair was put up.

"Mistress Diamond." I said with a smile and a bow and offered her my arm. "Would you accompany me to the ball?"

"I will gladly, Master Peregrin." she grinned and took my arm. We walked into the dancing hall. I saw Far in green and then a I felt a tap on my shoulder. Spinning around I saw a grinning Merry. He was dressed in a midnight blue and Estella was grinning beside him. She looked defiantly bigger. She was due in two months.

"Merry! Estella!" I hugged my cousin and his wife happily.

"Good to see you Pip." Merry smiled. "Sam's over there." looking over I saw my good friend in white and his wife in a rose color. With a smile I waved them over and greeted them as well. With a smile I saw Far dancing with his "date". Grinning I kept talking with my friends, but I wasn't even thinking about our conversation. I was thinking about my son.
