I have not read all of the LOTR books. I'm currently in the stage of watching The Return of the King Movie. The versions I own have such TINY words, and that means it took me months just to read The Fellowship of the Ring. So, this is mostly based on the Bookverse.
Payback from Frodo and Bilbo Baggins
Bilbo Baggins sighed as he opened the door to find Lobelia Sackville-Baggins on his doorstep.
"What do you want?" He asked, bluntly.
"Um, Bilbo, I wish to apologise for my family's rude and disrespectful behaviour over the years." She said, awkwardly.
Bilbo almost fainted. A Sackville-Baggins apologising? He could only be more surprised if a Wizard turned evil!
"Do you really mean it?" He asked, not trying to hide his surprise.
"Indeed I do." Said Lobelia, bowing.
The Ring-bearer smiled. "How about you come in for a cup of tea, then?"
"That would be nice." Said Lobelia.
22 (14 in Hobbit years) year-old Frodo, who was watching from the corridor, frowned sceptically.
"Get the kettle on, my lad!" Called Bilbo.
Frodo nodded, and went to do as he was told, but not before giving Lobelia a suspicious look.
Bilbo turned, and went into the living room, chattering excitedly. He could finally go without his Cousins being annoying.
Lobelia said; "Um, do you mind if I use the powder room?" She asked.
"You mean the loo? The second left after the kitchen." He said.
Lobelia bowed in gratitude, before going.
After two minutes, Frodo came in. "Where's our wonderful cousin?" He asked.
"Oh, she went to spend a penny." Replied Bilbo, scratching his head full of greying hair.
Suddenly, there was the sound of the front door opening, and rapid footsteps outside.
The two Hobbits shared a look, and ran out to investigate.
They saw Lobelia Sackville-Baggins running away, a speck in the distance. Bilbo looked at the ground, and noticed a silver spoon lying there.
His face turned the colour of beetroot. "Lobelia Sackville-Baggins!" I'll get you for this, you thief!" He yelled, shaking his fist and hopping from foot to foot.
"Calm down, Bilbo." Frodo told him "I have an idea for a little payback..."
...
With that, Frodo went to the home of Peregrine "Pippin" Took, the Great Smials.
He knocked on the door, and Pippin, as well as Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck, answered. "Frodo! What brings you here?" Merry grinned.
"I need your help with something..." Frodo smirked "Hurry up and let me in!"
They did so, and they all walked into the living room, where most of the other Tooks were, and to Frodo's luck, Samwise "Sam" Gamgee, and Fredegar "Fred" Bolger.
"Mister Frodo!" Smiled Sam, waving. "Sit down, take the weight off your feet!"
Frodo did so. "Listen, you know Lobelia Sackville-Baggins?"
"As in Mrs Sack-full-of-Cow-Dung-Baggins?" Asked Fred.
"The old hag?" Inquired Merry.
"The one with an ego bigger than Fatty's stomach?" Asked Pippin.
"Hey!" Cried Fred.
"Yes, that one." Replied Frodo. "Listen, she just made off with some of Bilbo's silverware!"
The room exploded with Outrage.
"How dare she!" Cried Sam.
"Call the Shirrifs!" Someone else told Frodo.
"I have a better idea." Said Frodo, a mischievous grin on his face. "We prank them, while someone sneaks in and gets the Silverware back."
There was a short silence.
"Frodo..." Said Pippin, slowly "This... plan... is... GREAT!"
The room erupted with celebration.
Frodo smiled. "Okay, so here's the plan..."
...
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins was boasting of her theft to her family members.
"That old fool Bilbo fell right into it!" She chuckled, Making her listeners laugh.
Suddenly, she heard some laughter from outside.
Frowning, she placed down the cutlery, wondering what was going on.
She and the other people in the house went to investigate, and as they opened the door, they saw a large crowd of Hobbits, pointing and laughing as their house.
Lobelia frowned. She took a good look at her House.
It was painted a bright blue, with a message in Red painted on it; 'THANKS FOR THE SILVERWARE BACK!'
She gaped.
When she had regained her senses, she rushed back inside.
The silverware wasn't where she put it.
It was currently in the pockets of none other than Pippin, who was nipping out of the back door, unnoticed.
...
Many cheers were celebrated in the Baggins' household today. The Tooks got carried away and raided Bilbo's pantr5y, and Bilbo had to order them out.
He sat down. "Ah, Frodo. What a day, eh?"
There was a knock on the door.
Bilbo went to it "Fred, there's no more-"
It was not Fredegar Bolger who had knocked.
It was Gandalf.
"Bilbo Baggins. I am right in thinking something has happened here, yes?" The Wizard said, smiling cheekily.
