Gollum: My precious.

Title: Changes for the better.

Author: blue eyes in the shadows.

Pairings: Ahh that would be telling, but they're some good ones.

Setting: Beginning of the Lord of the Rings, the fellowship.

Summary: AU what if at the start of Lord of the rings the fellowship, almost half the fellowship were girls? What if your favourite character was a girl? What if they started to change things? Would it be for the better for the quest or the death of them all, especially when some start to fall in love?

Author's note: Hello, please don't chock stuff at me, before you read it. Lol this first chapter's really short, it's kind of a tester, to see if any one wants to read or wants this fic continued, please review if you want, every little helps : ) This fic is going to be a mixture of the movie and books, so some parts people might know and others won't. The next chapter is a lot longer. This is kind of what if fic, I'm going to try keep the characters to their characters, and I apologise if I don't. I might not continue if people aren't interested. Well that's my author's note, lol enjoy the fic! Hope this idea's original, because I've not seen one like it, but not to say there isn't one.

Flamers: Yay bring it on *brings out yummy marshmallows * want one? Lol

Chapter One: Samantha Wise Gamgee?

******* ******** ******** ******* ********* ********* ******* ***** ****

'Samantha wise, you best get up before old Bilbo Baggins has both our heads!' growled an angry voice.

A young hobbit girl sat up suddenly in her bed, with a dazed look in her brown eyes. She quickly stood up getting changed into a long white cotton dress and brushed her waist length blood hair, before running out her room and into the hall way just to hear the door slam.

'Gaffer isn't pleased with you,' laughed her sister Marigold.

She shot her an evil glare before running out the door.

'Gaffer,' she shouted, finally catching up with a fast moving angry hobbit.

'I told you, we had to be on time today,' he growled angrily.

'But-'

'But nothing, you ought to get your head out the clouds and marry a nice hobbit.'

'I don't want to,' she whispered.

He turned and glared, 'Sam I'm your father, and you should do as you're told.'

'Lovely morning,' came a cheerful voice.

Sam smiled at the old face of Bilbo Baggins; an old hobbit everyone thought was gone a little in the head. His messy hair still showed signs of his youth, but his brown eyes showed hidden understanding and knowledge. Sam remembered how she used to love coming to Bag end in her childhood and having Mr Bilbo pick her up and tell her past stories about the elves and dragons. Her friends would always laugh at her as she recounted them, but there was something else that made her like Bag End even more.

'Ready for your lesson?' he asked her cheerfully.

'Yes thank you, Mr Bilbo sir.'

'Wonderful.' He smiled, signalling her to follow him into the hobbit hole.

'Bye Gaffer,' smiled Sam.

'Remember what I told you young Samantha.' He muttered.

She forced a smile, and followed Mr Bilbo into the hobbit hole. Once in side he signalled her to sit in a chair, while he started to flick through a book.

'Would you like a drink?' he smiled friendly at her.

'No that's okay Mr Bilbo,'

He shook his head smiling, and handed her a glass of lemonade any way. 'Your father only wants what's best for you, you know?'

'I no Mr Bilbo,' muttered Sam, feeling the unfairness of the situation, 'but he always wanted me to be a boy and carry on his gardening work. But since I'm a girl, he says the only thing I'm fit for is marrying.'

'Anyone in mind?' his eyes shone.

'Hello Uncle Bilbo, Sam.'

Sam suddenly knocked over her glass turning red, when noticing the hansom hobbit in the door way, she blushed again. 'Hello Mr Frodo,' she looked down, then noticing her spilt drink, 'Oh I'm terribly sorry Mr Bilbo,' she muttered.

'Quite alright,' his eyes shone brighter.

Sam took a quick second to sneakily glance at Mr Frodo. He was the hobbit she'd had a crush on since he came to Bag end. His big blue eyes had startled her one day when she was running round the garden helping gaffer. With his eyes and messy hair, she had immediately thought he was an elf, and only with weeks of persuasion did she say other wise.

'Are you coming to the party, Sam?' smiled Frodo.

'I wouldn't miss it,' she muttered.

'Samantha, you'll have to cut the lesson short,' yelled a voice, 'Your mother needs you at home.'

'Ohh dear, when I had just found the right page as well,' muttered Bilbo shaking his head.

'I'm sorry Mr Bilbo, thank you for the drink.' She muttered quickly before saying a brief goodbye and running into the garden.

'Lovely hobbit lass she is,' smiled Bilbo.

Frodo nodded.

'Wouldn't is be a shame if her father makes her marry a hobbit she doesn't love. While a fool of a hobbit, who likes her, sits by and watches.'

'I don't know what you're talking about?'

'Just promise me you'll think about what I said, after I leave.' Muttered Bilbo, shaking his head.

Frodo was just left looking at him confusedly.
