Matchmaking

So......This one is actually.... REALLY FLUFFY
-----------

"Oh, come on Bilberry!" I shouted at my older sister as I ran down the path that lead out of our family's hobbit hole.

"Well, are you sure we should just go to a random hobbit's birthday party, even if we don't even know them?" She called.

She, of course, only had one foot out the door.

She was being shy because our family had just moved from a small farm on the banks of the Brandywine River to the bustling town of Hobbiton.

And she didn't know anybody, so she was afraid to go out and socialize.

"But, there's going to be some amazing food there! Aannnd.....Maybe even some adorable boy hobbits...." I said with an exaggerated wink.

As you can see, I am the more adventurous of the two.....

"Oh, wow, Bella, you really got me at cute hobbit boys...." Bilberry said sarcastically,

But, she stepped through the doorway and onto the path nevertheless,

Ha, gets her every time..... I thought triumphantly.

Bilberry ran to catch up with me, her skirts swishing this way and that.

"What have I just gotten myself into wasting an entire evening on?" She asked, breathing heavily from the running.

Well, the party did not disappoint.

The food was delicious, just as I had predicted.

Bilberry even seemed to be having fun,

She was currently eating some cheese, and talking to another girl hobbit.....

Okay, time to do some searching.....

I was searching the crowd for any boy hobbits that I fancied, when the two hobbits whose birthdays were being celebrated today stepped up onto a platform and waved to everybody.

One of the hobbits, an elderly chap, began making a speech.

Darn, I'll just have to resume my search later..... I thought as I turned to look at the two hobbits.

"Today's my one hundred and ninth birthday!" The old hobbit announced happily.

The second hobbit was significantly younger, about my age, and he was standing shyly behind the old hobbit, who, I think, was his uncle.

I tuned him out after that,

I was *ahem* otherwise occupied.

Hmmmmm......I thought as I eyed the younger hobbit.

He was quite handsome, actually, with big, blue eyes and fair skin....

Well, the eyes were a bit too big for my liking.....

But still handsome anyway.......

Soon, though, the hobbit's speech was over.

I quickly resumed my search.

And my eyes were soon rewarded, when they landed on a pair of young hobbit boys, who were......Sneaking cake.

Aha! Yes! They're absolutely PERFECT! One for me, and one for Bilberry......

Well, I'm mostly looking for someone for Bilberry.....

I nonchalantly walked up to the two young hobbits, who at first didn't notice me, because they were so busy stuffing their faces with their stolen cake.
