Title: Changes for the better.

Author: blue eyes in the shadows.

Pairings: You have to ask? Well so far S/F but I might pair her off with some one else, heheheh just kidding, or am I? ;) P/M, but Merry might meet some one new, hmm or maybe not. ;) The rest are a closely guarded secret, guarded by Gollum.

Gollum: My precious pairings. 'Evil laugh'

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?

Chapter Eight: Don't touch pretty shiny things

'Sam you get more beautiful every day.' Smiled Tom.

'Let me hurl.' Muttered Pippin.

'I wish you didn't have to leave so soon.'

Sam smiled politely at him. 'Merry thinks we should leave later on today.'

Merry looked up and wondered what Sam was talking about.

'Such a shame, I will never again see one as fair as you.'

'Yeah real shame.' Frodo glared.

'Jealousy is not good for you dear cousin.' Whispered Merry smirking. 'Doesn't suit you either.'

Sam smiled as her eyes met Frodo's across the table.

'Me and Frodo are going for a walk.' Smirked Merry, she got up with Frodo.

'May I sing to you Samantha?' asked Tom, ignoring them as they left.

Frodo angrily slammed the door.

'That guy has some serious issues.' Merry said looking annoyed.

Frodo twitched a little.

'You're being really irrational, Sam only has eyes for you.'

'Merry can you please stop talking about it.' He quickly looked away.

Merry coughed. 'Never thought I'd see you jealous, you ought to tell her before it's too late.' She opened the door and went into the house.

Frodo soon went in a while later.

'Mr Frodo,' smiled Sam happily as he walked in.

'Where's Tom?'

'He went for a walk.' Smiled Sam. 'Pippin said he'd ram a plate into his mouth if he sang one more song.'

Frodo hid a smile. 'That was mean of him.'

She shrugged. 'I'm not really that keen on his singing. I prefer yours.' She blushed. 'Mr Frodo there's something I have to tell you.'

'What is it?'

An angry yell echoed through the house blocking out what Sam had just said.

'We're through Pippin Took' yelled Merry angrily and stormed into the room Sam and Frodo were in and out another.

Pippin appeared a few minutes later, looking down to hide his expression. 'I'm going for a walk.' He whispered, before leaving out the door.

Sam looked helplessly between the ways Merry and Pippin had gone. 'Mr Frodo please go after Merry.' She said quickly, before following Pippin. Sam soon spotted him throwing something shiny into Tom's pond.

'Are you okay Pippin?'

'Fine, I'm just happy Merry is going to be happy.' He said in a strained voice before quickly walking off.

Sam was about to walk after him, but a golden glint from the pond caught her attention. She edged closer noticing something resting on a rock in the middle of the water. She quickly held onto a tree, and tried to reach across to get it; suddenly she lost her grip and went hurling into the shallow water, and came up coughing and soaked a few minutes later.

'Nice day for a swim?' said a cheerful voice, sounding close to laughing.

Sam glared at the figure of Frodo Baggins.

'Would you like some help?'

She smirked at him, as he put his coat onto a rock and came towards the pond and held his hand out to her. Her smirked widen as she pulled on his hand, making him fall in as well and land with a loud splash.

Frodo came up glaring at her. 'You've been spending too much time with Merry and Pippin.'

Sam smiled before pulling herself out the pond; she blushed looking at Frodo with his curls all wet.

'Take my coat Sam.' He got out and picked it up from the rock and placed it round her shoulders. He reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair from her face with his hands. 'Tom's right.' He whispered. 'You are beautiful.' He paused and suddenly looked at her hand. 'What's that?' he asked quickly.

Sam looked at him weirdly.

'The ring.'

Sam suddenly looked down in horror at her wedding finger; a pretty engagement ring was on it. 'How did that get there?' she asked innocently, then suddenly realised. 'Ohh dear.'

'You're marrying him, aren't you?' asked Frodo.

'No of course not.'

'No need to explain.'

Tom suddenly appeared from nowhere, 'So you've heard Frodo, young Sam has chosen me over you, better look next time.'

Sam glared at him. 'You're lying.'

'Samantha, no need to deny it any more, we both love each other, why lie to young

Frodo.'

'You're such a liar!' growled Sam, 'You only like me because you think I'm beautiful, but I'm not, I'm a simple girl and you don't know me at all!'

Frodo glared at them both. 'I've had enough!' he stormed off towards the house.

'You're just jealous because young Samantha loves me!' yelled Tom after him.

Sam was so angry she couldn't speak, but she didn't need to because an umbrella was angrily slammed down on his head.

Tom looked up in a daze. 'Goldberry, I can explain.'

Sam smiled at the pretty woman behind him.

'I go away for two days and you start upsetting people and attempt bigamy to a poor girl who isn't interested!' she now looked red with anger.

'It's not how it looks, honest!'

He didn't have a chance to say anything else before the umbrella came down harder on his head and knocked him out.

'Hello young one.' Suddenly smiled the woman.

Sam looked nervously at her umbrella.

'I'm not angry with you dear. We haven't met, I'm Tom's wife.'
