Epilogue

 ~~~

While reading a review by Arwen Baggins, I realized there were still a few loose ends.  Here they are, all tied up.

Enjoy!  And let me know what you think!

“Merry?  Are you almost done?”  Frodo called.

            “Almost Frodo...do you know how hard it is to scrub egg out of clothes?”

            Frodo stifled a laugh.  “Hurry up, will you?  I need that shirt tonight.”

            “If you need it so badly, why don’t you come in here and do it?”

            “It’s not my punishment.”

            Frodo heard Merry groan.  “I don’t see how the whole thing was my fault...Bilbo shouldn’t have left me here with Bombur.”

            “Ow!”  Pippin cried.

            Frodo looked over at Pippin.  “Are you all right, Pip?”

            Pippin stuck his finger in his mouth.  “Stupid needle,” he muttered.

            Bilbo walked cheerfully into the room.  “Almost done hemming those new sheets, lad?”

            Pippin sighed.  “Not yet...”

            “Be careful lad.  Wouldn’t want you to get bloodstains on those new sheets.”

            “Yes, Bilbo.”

            There was a knock at the door.  Bilbo went to answer it.

            “Frodo?”

            “Yes, Bilbo?”

            “Someone for you.”

            Frodo got up and went to the door.  Bilbo left as Frodo curiously looked outside.  No one was there.  Frodo stepped out a little farther, until finally he was outside.

            Thwack.

            Suddenly, Frodo was viciously pelted with marbles. 

            “Ow!”

            “Serves you right, Frodo Baggins!” cried Lily from the bushes.

            “But I didn’t—”

            Thwack
