The Hobbits

Gandalf had one task on his mind when he went to The Shire. And that is what we are about to find out right now. Frodo hears a knock on his door. He goes to answer it.

"Merry, Pippin, what are you guys doing here?" asked Frodo.

"Oh, we just happened to be in the neighborhood and decided to visit an old friend," said Merry.

"Well come in," said Frodo.

Merry and Pippin walk in and sit down on a couch.

"So, what have you been doing with your self since you got rid of the ring?" asked Pippin.

"Oh the usual," said Frodo.

"You know I saw that one of your books made best seller out in Fornost," said Merry.

"I deed it did," said Frodo.

There is another knock on the door and Frodo goes to open it.

"Sam, you're back from vacation already," said Frodo.

"Of course I am, and I decided to drop by for a while since the misses is on her cleaning spree," said Sam.

"Why not, Merry and Pippin have dropped by as well," said Frodo.

"Sam is that you?" asked Merry.

"Course it's me, who else do you think it would be," said Sam.

"Come on Merry you know darn well that its Sam," said Pippin.

"I know, I was only jokin," said Merry.

They start to talk for a while when all of a sudden there's another knock on the door. Frodo gets up and goes to see whom it is.

"Gandalf," said Frodo wide eyed.

"I have an important matter to discuss with you. I also see that Merry, Pippin and Sam are here," said Gandalf.

"Yes they are, please come in," said Frodo.

Gandalf walks in.

"Gandalf, I didn't expect to see you here," said Sam.

"Well I do like to make sudden appearances," said Gandalf.

"So what's up?" asked Frodo.

"X.A.N.A. Sauron's son has decided to remake the ring," said Gandalf.

"No, I'm not going on another mission that deals with that silly ring. I don't need to get pestered by that little Gollum creature again," said Sam.

"You don't have to worry about that, the ring is only in its first stage. If we leave now then you should be able to reach Mordor before the ring is complete. You will also meet two groups of people once you reach Mordor. One is a group of teens that will help get you into the castle. The other is Aragorn and the other armies of the world," said Gandalf.

"Sweet, another chance to kick some Orc butt," said Merry.

"Shut up Merry and let the man talk," said Sam.

"Thank you Sam. Now listen you must leave tonight if you ever want to reach Mordor before the ring is complete. If you don't we risk the whole world falling into X.A.N.A.'s control," said Gandalf.

"Well I accept," said Frodo.

"If Frodo accepts then I do too," said Sam.

"I'm defiantly in," said Merry.

"Now just hold on one minute. Do we really want to sacrifice our lives for a stupid piece of jewelry?" asked Pippin.

"Well that stupid piece of jewelry is going to enslave the earth," said Merry.

"Think of it this way, would you rather be free to do what you want, or would you want to work in a hot mine for the rest of your life?" asked Gandalf.

"I'll go," said Pippin.

"Good, now remember you must leave to night, no questions asked," said Gandalf.

Gandalf goes to leave and when he does Sam's wife is standing at the door. She greets Gandalf just as he leaves.

"Uh, I guess I need to go," said Sam.

"Sam, get over here and help me clean this house. I see Gandalf was here and I get the feeling you will be leaving sometime soon. The least you can do is help me clean our house," said Mrs. Sam. (I don't know his wife's 'real name.)

"Well see you tonight Frodo," said Sam.

"Right," said Frodo.

Sam leaves the house and goes to his. Gandalf is heading for our heroes.
