Chapter 1

"Good morning Ada." I said and gave Gandalf a big hug "Good morning."He replied as he gave a small smile "what's wrong Ada?"I asked as I sat on a chair next to him "nothing my child."he replied and gave me a cup of tea "you see,do you remember the dwarfs?"Gandalf asked I nodded and gave him a confusing look "we'll be going on a quest."He announced "where will we meet them?"I asked before taking a sip of tea "in Bag End."Gandalf said,I gave him a confusing look as I took another sip of tea "why?"I asked "Bilbo will be sharing the adventure with us."He said "Did he say yes?"I asked "not entirely."He said and chuckled as a laugh escaped my lips.

~At The Shire~

"Good morning."Bilbo said as he smoked from his pipe,I waved and gave him a small smile "What do you mean? Do you mean to wish me a good morning, or do you mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not? Or perhaps you mean to say that you feel good on this particular morning? Or are you simply stating that this is a morning to be good on?"Gandalf asked "All of them at once, I suppose."Bilbo replied,as Gandalf stared at Bilbo you could see he was getting uncomfortable "Can I help you?"He asked "It remains to be seen. I'm looking for someone to share in an adventure."Gandalf said and Bilbo looked confused "An adventure? No, I don't imagine anyone west of Bree, would have much interest in adventures. Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things. Make you late for dinner!"Bilbo said as he got up and grabs his mail out of his mailbox and awkwardly backs away "Good morning!"he said awkwardly as he starts walking back to his front door "To think that I should have lived to be good- morninged by Belladonna Took's son, as if I was selling buttons at the door!"Gandalf said and as he did so Bilbo turns around in surprise "Beg your pardon?"Bilbo asked surprised "You've changed, and not entirely for the better, Bilbo Baggins."I said as I rested my hand on the holster of my sword "I'm sorry, do I know you two?"Bilbo asked "Well you know my name, although you don't remember I belong to it. I'm Gandalf, and Gandalf means...me!"Dad said "Gandalf? Not Gandalf, the wandering wizard who made such excellent fireworks? Old Took used to have them on Midsummer's Eve! Well! I had no idea you were still in business."Bilbo said I shook my head as they where now both acting like little children "And where else should I be?"Gandalf asked "Well..."Bilbo said not knowing what to say really "Well, I'm pleased to find you remember something about me, even if it's only my fireworks"Gandalf said as he nods to himself "Well that's decided. It'll be very good for you, and most amusing for us.I shall inform the others."Gandalf said "Inform the who...? What...?! No! No! No, wait."Bilbo said as he walks up to his front door and turns "We do not want any adventures here, thank you. Not today, not... I suggest you try over the hill or...across the water. Good morning."Bilbo said before he entered his house and closed the door behind him "mark the door with a rune"I whispered to Gandalf he then walks up to the door and starts marking it,as he finishes he looks thru the window and then we walk back to the horses.

...

"Oh, no! No, no. There's nobody home! Go away, and bother somebody else! There's far too many dwarves in my dining room as it is. If...if this is some blockhead's idea of a joke, I can only say, it is in very poor taste!"We could hear Bilbo yell from inside as we knocked at his door,as he opens the door the dwarves fall through onto the floor "Gandalf."Bilbo said not knowing what to do.

"Excuse me,Ms.Almara and Mr. Gandalf."Dori said "Yes?"Gandalf and I asked in unison "May I tempt you with a cup of chamomile?"Dori asked "Ooh, no thank you, Dori. A little red wine, for me I think."Gandalf said Dori looked at me and I shook my head in sign I didn't want anything.

...

"Yes, you are quite right, Bifur. We appear to be one dwarf short."Gandalf said as Bifur told him something in dwarvish "He is late, is all. He traveled north to a meeting of our kin, he will come."Dwalin said "Mr. Gandalf?"Dwalin asked "Hmm?"He replied as he looked down at Dwalin "A little glass of red wine as requested, it's got a fruity bouquet."Dwalin said and gave Gandalf the little glass of wine "Oh, cheers."Gandalf said and took a sip,a small laugh escaped my lips as he tried to take another sip but the glass was so small he had already finished the wine "Don't laugh"Gandalf said as he walked away chuckling.
