The Trouble with Lobelia
Word Count: 231
Frodo wasn't one to say 'no'. But when it came to Bag End, and on Frodo and Bilbo's birthdays, too, it didn't seem as though anything would stop Lobelia Sackville-Baggins from ruining their day.
"More tea?" Bilbo asked, pouring Lobelia some tea.
Lobelia shook her hand. "No, thank you! I'll take my tea to go!" She wasted no time taking the teacup and the teapot with her. She didn't count on Frodo grabbing the teapot, as well as the teacup, from her hands. She laughed the moment the tea poured all over Frodo's white shirt, staining it in one big stain. "Well, my boy! You certainly know how to take a lady's tea!"
"All right, that's it! Get off my premise!" Bilbo stated, opening the front door for her.
Lobelia huffed. "Well, I never!" She walked out of Bag End, right as Bilbo grabbed the teacup from her.
Bilbo waited until Lobelia was gone, before turning to Frodo. "Are you hurt? How bad is it?"
"Ohh! Ow!" Frodo said, feeling a little burning sensation. He ran off, before another word was spoken, cleaning himself up, cleansing the burn marks, and returning to Bilbo wearing a nice, new clean shirt.
Bilbo passed to Frodo a gift, just as Frodo did the same for him. "Happy birthday, Frodo!" Bilbo smiled, joyously.
Frodo laughed, feeling better. "Happy birthday, uncle!"
