*Blushes in embarassment*

One of these days maybe I will grasp the concept of how the Shire-Reckoning years are different from the rest of Middle-earth! Anyway, I corrected the section that had the S.R. year as 2989 to its correct year - thanks Lindelea for pointing that one out!

I also rewrote a sentence or two at the beginning as someone pointed out to me glowing embers in a fire generally do not pop - and if I have missed anything else, please let me know as I do welcome readers' comments!

I got my inspiration for this story one night when I was trying to get to sleep. I don’t know how good it is but I hope you enjoy it just the same as it is the first time I have attempted to write about Frodo and Bilbo’s relationship in its pre-Quest days...
