I think this is going to be the first time this whole entire site has ever done a crossover as a sequel to an original rp that wasn't a crossover before. Originally, I was going to planned on two separated rps; where that would continue the other LOTR rp titled My Dear Sweet Angel and the other being just a simple Lord of the Rings/Pirates of the Caribbean crossover, but after having some discussions with FaPingMulan on FB, we decided to combine them all together to make it easier. (BTW, what do you guys think of the title I picked out? I couldn't make up my mind if I wanted to keep it to Adventure Awaits, which is a quote from the movie Up or Take on the World which is the theme song from Girl Meets World, so I thought about combing that all together too lol) Anywho moving on; this sequel picks up several years after the first one. The fellowship had went on parting their own ways (all expect for Merry, Pippin, Sam and his family who chose to stay and lived along with Frodo in Angel's kingdom) since the double wedding, but are now all finally reunited at last in celebration for Grace's birthday party. But trouble starts brewing again when the ghost of Scarla reappears, vowing on revenge to pay for what they had done, so it's up for the old generation of the fellowship to stay behind and protect the kingdom at all cost while the newer generation are accompanied by Gandalf, Sam, Merry and Pippin on a trip to The Shire where the teens can stay safe until further notice. But all of that changes, when sometime later they find their selves in a new world; a world filled with pirates! That's where Jack Sparrow and his crew come in! There's gonna be new dangers, new adventures, and some new faces! Including this being the first introduction to Grace's long lost younger brother whom she never knew existed the whole time! Here is the cast list of the new kids (in no particular order) Grace (Daughter of Frodo and Angel. Older sister of Zander and older cousin of Kassie and Armir)- True Love's Kiss Tristan (Son of Legolas and Emily. Grandson of Thranduil)- FaPingMulan Eldarion (Son of Aragorn and Arwen; Grandson of Elrond, Great-Grandson of Galadriel and twin brother of Arowen)- FaPingMulan Arowen (Daughter of Aragorn and Arwen; Granddaughter of Elrond, Great-Granddaughter of Galadriel and twin sister of Eldarion)-FaPingMulan Goldie (Daughter of Sam and Rosie. Older sister of Tom)-True Love's Kiss Tom (Son of Sam and Rosie. Younger brother of Goldie)- True Love's Kiss Gloin II (Son of Gimli and Vivian)-FaPingMulan Zander (Son of Frodo and Angel. Younger brother of Grace and older cousin of Kassie and Amir)- True Love's Kiss Raquel (Former mentor of Zander and also later fourth Tom's love interest)- True Love's Kiss Amir (Son of Pippin. Younger cousin of Grace and Zander)-FaPingMulan Kassie (Daughter of Merry. Younger cousin of Grace and Zander)-True Love's Kiss And let's not forget about the old generation fellowship who will still be a part of this rp too because the children wouldn't be here without them Frodo- True Love's Kiss Legolas- FaPingMulan Aragorn- FaPingMulan Gimli- FaPingMulan Sam- True Love's Kiss Rosie- True Love's Kiss Thranduil-FaPingMulan Merry- Renton Pippin- Renton Arwen- FaPingMulan Elrond- FaPingMulan Gandalf- FapingMulan Angel-True Love's Kiss Emily- FaPingMulan Vivian-FaPingMulan And last but not least; the POTC cast (inlcuding OCs). It's small, but it's all we have in for now. Captain Jack Sparrow- FaPingMulan Hayley Sparrow-True Love's Kiss Cedric-Lalalied Mr. Gibbs- FapingMulan Barbossa- FaPingMulan Sarra- LaLaLied Roran- FaPingMulan

OOC: Love the new title =3
BIC: Three tall figures stood together in the middle of a large dark forest in a circle. The first was a tall male elf dressed in fine green and brown robes with fair colored skin, blue eyes, and long blonde hair. The second was a tall thin female elf with long blonde hair and blue eyes dressed in a long blue gown and the third was a tall older man dressed in a long white robe with short white hair and a white beard.
"Trouble is coming.." The first figure, the male elf spoke sounding troubled.
"Yes. It is Scarla. She is rising again and if she has her way there will be nothing left of this world." The second figure, the she-elf spoke.
"That is why I've summoned you both. You must send Frodo and the others a message, warn them, have them be prepared for what is to come." The third figure, the old man replied.
"It will do no good to warn Frodo and the others, Gandalf. The trouble will come whether they are prepared or not. Our hope must lie in others now." The male elf replied.
"Be reasonable, Oropher. Surely you do not wish to see Mirkwood fall under ruins. And you, Celebrian surely you do not want to see harm come to Lothlorien, Rivendell, and Gondor? Not with your kin residing in all those places." Gandalf tried to presuade the two elves.
"We are being reasonable, Gandalf, but we are being practical too. We have seen these cities fall but there is still time to do something though it is not much. You will warn Frodo and the others but I must go through with our only real course of action." Celebrian spoke before walking away.
"Where are you going?!" Oropher called after her but to no avail.
Arwen sat combing her daughter's hair as she helped her to get ready for their arrival in Angel's kingdom in honor of her daughter Grace's birthday party.
"Arowen, stand still." She told her daughter.
"I can't help it Nana (Mom). I am looking forward to seeing Goldie and Grace again." Arowen replied with a smile.
"It will be good to see Frodo and the others again." Aragorn agreed from where he stood in the doorway with a smile on his face.
"Yes it will." Arwen agreed as she finished fixing her daughter's hair and walked over to her husband kissing him on the lips. "Is Eldarion, ready?"
"Yes. He is waiting for us, downstairs. I came to see if you two were ready." Aragorn replied.
Aragorn and his family arrived a couple hours later walking into the throne room along with other guests who had been invited to the party. It had been a couple years since he and his family had last visited with Frodo and the others naturally as Aragorn was a king with his own lands to govern and finally his own family to raise.
Aragorn led the way inside dressed in fine elven robes walking alongside his wife Arwen who was dressed in a fine red dress with a gold circlet, each of them bowed to Frodo and Angel in respect followed by Eldarion, who was dressed in a fine blue tunic and brown boots and tights while his sister Arowen was dressed in a fine green dress.
Eldarion looked a lot like his father except much younger with dark brown wavy hair and his once blue eyes were now brown while Arowen looked like her mother with her fair colored skin and long dark hair which had gotten a bit of wave trait from her father and her eyes were a green color.
"Frodo, Angel, it is good to see you both again. You remember my wife, Arwen, and my children Prince Eldarion and Princess Arowen." Aragorn introduced them.

"It's so nice to see you again too King Aragorn." Angel greeted the family with a welcoming bow, along with Frodo doing the same thing. "Hello Queen Arwen!!" Angel smiled to the lovely she-elf, but once she came turning over to their children, the smile that was once on her face was now gone. "Children..." The queen halfing says, though rather more flattened in her tone.
Her voice did not hint at it, but the fear look in her eyes did. Angel was not comfortable being near around Eldarion and Arowen since learning the day that they were born as twins, as she can recalled back from her old memory in Gondor that she had warn the couple about their future on twins. But being that they were not the same gender as most twins usually were, it was very hard to say when or if Queen Angel would ever try to warm up around them.
"Angel, be nice!" Frodo hissed underneath his breath. He wasn't mad at his wife since she was not trying to be rude around them, but he can understand what Angel was coming through after what they all entirely went through with his deceased sister-in-law Scarla, so who was he to judge based between the good and evil towards siblings?
"Welcome!" Frodo says to the half elf/half human family. "Of course we remember them. We're so happy to see you can make it on Grace's special day. Isn't that right Angel?" The king hobbit asks of his wife, but Angel had spoken nothing. He nudged her on the arm with just a poke of his elbow, informing her to speak up. "Huh? Oh uhh yes, very much!" Angel nodded.
"We'll let Grace know you have arrived!" Frodo told them, and was going to summon in the servants to go fetch after his young wizard/hobbit daughter, but Angel had to break to him about the news. "Oh umm Grace isn't here honey. Not since this morning after breakfast!"
"WHAT?!!?" Not here?!!? But where--" Frodo feared worriedly about the missing whereabouts of his child, til his hobbit ears pick up the sound of galloping footsteps and a neigh of the horse.
"That must be her now!" Angel second guessed, but watched in silence afterword as Frodo marched outta the throne room angrily and out the doorways.
As best as Angel did thought, Grace had return back home from horseback riding. Unlike her parents whom were both in short of hobbit height, Grace's height was more in that of a wizard. Her strawberry blonde hair grew long and lovely, and she wore a pretty white and pink dress. The young princess got off her horse and was going to make her way back to take him back with the other horses when she heard the loud exclaiming voice of her father shouting out for the adviser. "QUINN! WHERE IS GRACE?!!?"
"Uh-oh! Dad's in another one of his BAD moods again!" Grace replied, rolled her eyes. Since upon that horrible night when the ghost of her late aunt had appear in her bedroom, Angel and Frodo had taken matters into their own hands by forcing their royal adviser Quinn to have Grace supervised at all times. Even up to the day from now whether it was indoors or outdoors. Frodo had seriously taking his fatherly duties to the extreme becoming more and more overprotective of his daughter at all times. The only times when Grace had ever be alone without any supervision was when she was in her room. During her younger childhood days when she was much more smaller, Grace did used to be much more closer to her father, but since that unholy night, their relationship was put up to a strain because of it.
Grace stay put closely to her horse, using him for hiding hopefully and maybe make a clear getaway without being spotted, but it had seem to be far too late when the doors burst opened and Quinn was following right behind his angry king. "Your majesty, I can explained--"
"SILENCE!!" Frodo order to keep his mouth shut, and quickly did Grace got caught red headed. "Don't hide from me Gracious Primula Baggins. I can SEE you from there!!" He added, crossing his arms in a huff.
Grace and the horse stop in their tracks and the princess peaked her head out. "Hi Daddy!" She greeted him with a nervous smile. "Do NOT "hi me!" Where have you been?" Frodo asks, coming down from the steps glaring up high at his daughter due to their height difference. "Nowhere...I was--"
"Did you let her out of your sight Quinn?" Frodo interrupted fast by turning over to the older man. Quinn sighed in annoyance. Keeping an eye on Grace had made more better sense back in the day when the princess was just a child, but now as a beautiful growing teen, he didn't like still having to do that same old order. "In all of that in my defense, your highness. Grace is not a little girl anymore! I allowed her to spend horseback riding time by her own." Quinn spoken up in his defense.
But of all that more just got the hobbit king more angry. "ALONE!?!? BY HERSELF?!!? Quinn, you know the rules; never let Grace out of your sight! Do you realize what you could have done?!!?"
"Dad, it's okay! I'm fine, can't you see that?" Grace asks. She never got why her father had to make such a big fuss over such little things where she wanted to try to be her own independent woman, but she didn't seem to be getting the rights she wanted to have.
Fortunately between the troubling scene going on between father and daughter, it was broken off when the Gamgee family were the next guests to come. "Hey! Are we late for the party?" Sam says with a teasing smile.
"Ohh Sam, what a relief! You've made it!" Frodo says, now finally being calm with his old friend showing up with his own wife and two kids. "Uncle Sam!" Grace replies excitedly and rushes over to the hobbit by scooping him up with a surprised hug. "Oof! I'm pleased to see you again Grace." Sam grunted from the squeezing. "Can you put me down now?"
"Oh sorry, still trying to get used to my own strength." Grace smiling, putting the hobbit down gently. "It's a wizard thing." She added. "I should say so. You've gotten taller!" Sam says, quite impressed how well time was being good to her by height no doubt. "And beautiful! She looks just like her mother!" Rosie complimented the lovely beauty that is of the princess.
"Thank you Aunt Rosie." Grace says. "Ohh they grow up so fast, don't they?" Rosie asks with a sigh. It had seem just yesterday the gamgee family moved into the kingdom since the double wedding, and now their kids were growing up. "Where has the time gone?"
"I wonder that a lot of myself." Sam agreed with a nod, but couldn't help but turned from behind him his children. His son Tom and his daughter Goldie. "Hey, why so quiet the sudden? Come say hello!" He told him.
"Hello Gracie, how are you?" Goldie first spoken up, still referring by the same old nickname she had given to Grace since she was an infant. "Great! It's always is when you're here!" Grace says, happy to see her old friend.
"Don't forget about me!!" Tom says, shoving his big sister out of the way and pulled on one of his flirting attempts on Grace. "Hi there! Miss me?" "Eww! Daddy, he's doing it again!!" Grace complained. Since the day she can remember, Tom had always try to act like a big shot by wooing Grace ever more so. Growing up with the princess, the hobbit did used to form a crush on her, but Grace never return the feelings back. Tom was a nice hobbit to hang out with, but Grace never show any romantic interests in him. And it wasn't just her he tries to flirt, but Tom had try other ways into flirting with other girls, but at the end, they all failed. But it still never stop him to work out his charm on Grace a bit, even if the feelings were never ever at all mutual.
"Grace, manners. Remember?" Frodo reminded her. "Oh I remember. Goldie, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Grace asks the she-hobbit slyly with a sneaky grin. "I got you prepared!" Goldie grinns, pulling out a tomato she had keep just in case. And without warning, throws the tomato right at her poor brother Tom, with splash of tomato juice ruining his fine clothing. "AAHH!! YOU BACKSTABBER OF A SISTER!!"
"Catch him, he's getting away!!" Grace shouted, and the two mischievous girls chased after the poor hobbit laughing in riot. "And there they go, running off again!!" Sam grumbles watching the three trouble-making kids heading off down into the private gardens of the castle.

It was clear that Arwen and Aragorn easily picked up on Angel's hostility towards their children but like Frodo kept Angel to be polite, Aragorn did the same with Arwen though he too wished Angel would attempt to give his children a chance as they had no shown no trace of evil but she still seemed to have it in her mind that one of them must be therefore she trusted neither of them.
Knowing how to take a hint however, Eldarion bowed once again dismissing himself and his sister.
"Did you see the look in her eyes? That hatred? Honestly! What has that woman got against us anyway? You would think we were on trial or something every time we're around her?" Arowen hissed to her brother in elvish so no one they passed through the halls could understand what they were saying and claim they were committing treason against the queen.
"Just don't think about it and let's find the others. Im sure you're eager to spend some time with some girls besides Nana for a change." Eldarion replied back in a low whisper however as he and his sister rounded the corner they were both slammed into by Tom being chased by his sister and Grace.
"Oof!" Eldarion grunted as the force knocked him straight to the floor. "Tom, what on earth is-" He asked before being accidentally pelted by a tomato which made his sister start laughing. "It's not funny!" Eldarion grumbled wiping the tomato off his face glaring at Goldie who clearly had been the one to throw it missing her brother and hitting him instead but his glare faded as he locked eyes with Grace staring at her for a moment before quickly getting up to his feet and brushing himself off and bowing to her. "Good day Princess Grace." He spoke trying to be formal and praying to the Gods that he was not blushing.
He easily stood a head taller than her due to the faster growth rate of elves while his sister matched her height if not being an smidge taller than her.
"Hello Grace, Goldie." Arowen greeted the girls in a much more friendly tone before adding a less enjoyed "Hello Tom." to Tom not as happy to see him naturally.

The two girls were having a blast going after the annoying little brat of a hobbit, when the tomato that Goldie try throwing at missed her target which ended up hitting Eldarion rather than Tom. The poor messy hobbit cowardly hide behind the two elvish/human siblings for protection if his sister and Grace was ever continue on with the tomato tossing cruel game.
But that didn't seem to go on when Tom had notice Eldarion appearing to acting all gushy around the princess, his old former crush. Goldie and Grace had froze from their position and try in showing manners to their company guests. "Good day to you too!" Grace giggled, thinking of it to be cute how Eldarion acted around her.
Goldie also return with the hello greeting to Eldarion and Arowen too. Tom was not the most popular kind of guy when it came to hitting around the girls he finds attractive, but seeing now being in the same spot with Grace and Eldarion gave Tom signs of pure jealously. "Oh yeah? Well two can play that game! Let's see how you like this!!" Tom glared at the male elf/human with a look of threat in his face. If he thought that Eldarion can get away with hitting on Grace and being successful with it, what would the odds of that of Tom making a competition outta it? Rather than choosing Grace knowing that she will just continue on rejecting him more, Tom went on after Arowen.
Tom spit into his hand and pushes up the saliva onto his hair, brushing it back. "Well hello gorgeous!" The hobbit flirted with the she-elf/human. "What do you say the two of us, me and you, ditch these sore losers now and I can show you what a REAL romance a true man can give to his lady?!"
"Eww, Tom is so disgusting!!" Goldie mumbled, watching this unnatural scene. But still, it wasn't going to end well for her brother no matter how predictable it could get.

Arowen made a face rolling her eyes. 'Uggh! You've got to be kidding me!' She thought to herself before pushing the small hobbit away from her. "Not a chance small fry." She replied while Eldarion turned his attention back to Tom. 'Sisters are off limits' He warned the hobbit in Tom's mind.
"You don't know how happy I am to see you two, I've been stuck with him for far too long." Arowen joked as she pointed to her brother who smiled and rolled his eyes. "Very funny." He told his sister before adding "So have Amir and Kassie arrived yet?" He asked changing the subject. Besides Tom, Amir was the only other guy in the group Eldarion knew which he found odd particularly because the legendary fellowship he and his sister used to been told tales about had nine men and no females and Gandalf had joked once or twice that their small group was the new fellowship.
"Yes and Gandalf too? I had heard from our father that he would be coming too." Arowen added.

Merry and Pippin were quite happy living in Frodo's new kingdom, helping out with whatever needed to get done in the castle while sneaking in some humorous pranks on the side from time to time. But as the years went by, they decided to tone down their goofiness after they each had a lovely wife of their own and began raising their own children. Merry's child had grown into a pretty young girl named Kassie, while Pippin raised a fine-looking son named Amir.
Sadly, a few years after the children were born, both the wives had grown ill and died, leaving it up to the two hobbits to raise the children alone. The first several years were tough, but they managed to do the job well. Once in a while, they each taught their children a prank or two, and both Amir and Kassie had developed these traits and chose to be goofy when they figured it would be all in good fun.
On this day, the two hobbits had arrived with their children in time for Grace's birthday celebration and were looking around to see where to meet her and her parents.
"Hmm, I wonder where the birthday girl is?" asked Merry.
"Probably getting ready for the big day," answered Pippin. "You know, Merry, she's grown quite into a beautiful young lady. Imagine that; she's growing up so fast."
"Oh, I know," Merry observed. "Where has all the time gone? For all we know, she might start getting interested in boys next."
As soon as Grace came into view and was messing around with the other children, Pippin grinned and quipped, "Ah, right on cue. At least our children aren't like that, are you, Amir?"
Then Merry spotted Frodo from afar and waved to him. "Oh, Frodo! Frodo! We're here for the celebration!"

Amir, who had taken a tomato and was ready to join in on the little food fight with the others, quickly hid it behind his back as his father turned to face him. "Uh nope! Not us, right Kassie?" He asked the young female hobbit next to him. "Hi Uncle Frodo! Bye Uncle Frodo!" Amir greeted Frodo as he grabbed Kassie's hand dragging her along behind him as he rushed off after the others. If there was mischief and fun about, there was no way Amir was going to miss out on any of it.
"Right on cue." Arowen spoke noticing the two hobbits rushing up to join them.
"Hey Amir, Hey Kassie." Eldarion greeted the two hobbits.
"Eldarion? Arowen? Wow, you came all the way from Gondor for Gracie's big day?" Amir asked with a grin.
"That's right. Our parents received King Frodo's invitation." Arowen replied. She truly believed it had been Frodo who had sent the family an invitation as she still believed Queen Angel had something against she and her brother but she didn't bring the matter up any further for fear it would cause a rift in their friendship with Grace and the others.
"Oh. Well it's good to see you two again, right Kassie?" -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Merry! Pippin! Good to see you both again." Aragorn greeted the two hobbits happily as he had followed Frodo to make sure he hadn't been too harsh on Quinn and his daughter Grace leaving his wife and Angel to talk trusting them both to be civil.
He was happy to see the two mischievous hobbits again and was glad to see the Fellowship all together again with the exceptions of Boromir, Legolas, and Gimli.

"That's right! Kassie nodded her head, agreeing with Amir by trying to not to let some signs of snickering cause a suspicious, but lucky for the two mischievous hobbits, they didn't have to stick around with the grown-ups for very long. "Bye! See you later!" Kassie waved a temperoily farewell to Frodo and the others with a little giggle as Amir dragged her along with him to go find the others. Eventually, they did found at last their older cousin Grace and the others guests.
"Amir, Kassie! You made it! Hi!" Grace says excitedly and scoops up the two hobbits up in her arms, squeezing them in a tighten warm family hug. "Can't...breathe!!" Kassie choked. "Choking us...too tight!"
"Oh sorry!" Grace apologized for her inner wizard strength and set the two hobbits back down gently. "You remember my friends, Goldilocks Gamgee and her brother Tolman."
"The name's Tom!" Tom corrected as his made over towards Kassie, acting smooth and cool with his never ending flirting attempts. "And you just made my list of hot dates tonight!"
Kassie couldn't help but look at the hobbit in such disgust. "EWW! Amir, quick! Tomato!!" The she-hobbit thought quickly, before waiting to hear another word coming from Amir, Kassie snatch an extra tomato away from Amir's hands and smash the tomato right onto Tom's face. "ARUGH! HEY!!" Tom yelled. It had done the trick for sure because it got Grace and Goldie laughing up.
"What is the matter with you girls!??" Tom cried. It was uncool how he had been hit with a tomato twice on the same day, first by his own sister, and now by Grace's younger cousin Kassie.

It didn't seem as though Frodo had gotten the attention from Merry's waving at that moment, yet it wasn't long before Aragorn approached him and Pippin. Delighted to see their old friend, they both said in unison, "Aragorn!" and greeted him with handshakes.
"Long time, no see, old friend," Merry grinned. "Quite a gathering here, isn't it?"
"Yes, quite a lot of new family members joining us in these festivities," observed Pippin, looking around to notice the kids and other guests that were in attendance. "So how has ruling all of Gondor been treating you these days?" he asked the noble king.

"Yes it's good seeing everyone here including the newer guests." Aragorn agreed meaning his children and the rest of the children as well. "Things are going well in Gondor, soon my son Eldarion will begin his training as a member of the Dunedain (ranger of the north)." Aragorn added proudly before asking "And how Kassie and Amir doing? Not getting into too much mischief I hope?" with an amused glint in his eye. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oo. Bad luck there mate." Amir spoke sympathetically placing his hand on Tom's shoulder in a brief consoling matter. "I think they see you more of as a friend, Tom, and besides no need to go rushing into relationships just yet." He added. Unlike Tom, Amir currently wasnt interested in any relationships at the moment, sure one day that would change but for now he was happy being carefree and single free to roam and have fun as he pleased.
"Look! There's Gandalf!" Eldarion spoke as he noticed the wizard walking over to Frodo, Aragorn, Merry, and Pippin.
"Gandalf!" Eldarion called as he rushed over to see the wizard.
Hearing his name called, Gandalf stopped for a moment looking around until he spotted the young man running towards him. "Eldarion? Is that you?" He spoke before Eldarion hugged him. "Oof! It is you. You've certainly grown since I last saw you" He greeted the young Gondorian prince.
"That's right." Eldarion replied proudly holding his head up with pride.
"Merry, Pippin, allow me to introduce to you, my son Prince Eldarion." Aragorn spoke.
Feeling embarrassed for not greeting the two hobbits properly, Eldarion blushed slightly and bowed his head to them.
"And his sister shouldn't be too far-" Aragorn added before smiling as he noticed Arowen approaching them as well. "Ah yes and my daughter, Arowen. These two are rather inseparable you know. Like their uncles."

Being the big failure to flirting at girls, listening to Amir's simple little sympathetically words about how they view Tom as a friend, surely didn't really make him believe that. Since the start up to it, Tom's father Samwise Gamgee believed that even his own son was going through some kind of a phase and hoping maybe his silly nonsense to trying too hard to please girls would go away someday if the timing was right. "Rushing? You think I'm rushing? Pfft! Don't be ridiculous, Took! Didn't they tell you girls are playing hard to get?" He asks the hobbit. More or less, that was what Tom believed to be true.
The two boy hobbits stop talking when it was Eldarion that first announced that he spotted the old wizard Gandalf the Grey coming into view to be greeting their parents. So the two of them, along with Grace, Kassie and Goldie to follow behind them, but because elves were super fast when it came to running, they didn't have to outrun either Eldarion or Arowen, but they did take their time walking.
"Hi Gandalf!" Grace replied, waving to him after the rest had caught up. "AHEM!" Frodo purposely cleared up his throat, implying for his young tall daughter to greet the wizard the correct way as a princess should be with all guests.
"Hmm? Oh right!" Grace nodded, quickly already getting her father's shorten hints by curtsy and bowed her head down to him. "Thank you for coming!" She added. "The twins were asking about you, weren't you Arowen?" She says, turning over to Arowen to be sure that she was correct about that.
"You know Gandalf; always claims he's never late nor early." Frodo said with a smile, but couldn't help but chuckled a bit as he still seem to have some bit of his old self of how he remember always pointing out to the wizard that he would joked about his arriving time.
"Ooh, dad dad dad! Can I go take my friends with me down to the village? Please?" The wizard/hobbit princess begged excitedly to her hobbit father. "I promise to be back early on time before the party starts!"
"Now?" Frodo asks, being a bit taken by surprise that his daughter wanted to be spending time seeing what the villagers were up to; even just stepping a foot outside of the castle doors still gave the hobbit some serious anxious problems with that.
"Uh-huh! Please daddy?" Grace pleaded innocently. "It's better than staying coop up inside a castle all day. It gets so BORING!" Frodo knew he cannot say no to his child, but he sighed, shaking his head in defeat. "It's all right with me."
"YAHOO!!" Grace cheered. "Quick, let's go!!" She tells the other kids excitedly, and takes Goldie and Tom by their hands, dragging the two Gamgee siblings with her til Frodo had her to a complete stop. "As long as Quinn goes with you." He added. That got her to stop fast. "Noo, not Quinn!" She whined, but felt a bit ashamed complaining about it with him still standing there with them. "No offense Quinn."
"None taken." Quinn says, not at all feeling bad about it as they both seem to be the same page about Frodo always getting the two of them being stuck together because the king treated the adviser more as a supervisor rather than a real adviser, the same job he always had been for years.
"Sorry your royal Bagginses, but Queen Angel has already assigned me to umm---" Quinn had to apologized on the more upper note to remind the king that he had other things to do rather than keeping a sharp closer eye not just on Grace, but the rest of the other teenage kids too. However, the royal adviser had already fear for the worst when he saw the anger look on the hobbit's face, even hearing a lower growl coming from him.
"I'll get right on it!" Quinn replied, quickly changing his mind that his other assignments can hold on til later. "Good! And see that you do Quinn, or else...." Frodo strictly reminded the man. He allowed Gandalf, Merry, Pippin, Sam, Rosie, and even Aragorn to followed him back inside where he knew Arwen and Angel would be most pleased to see the rest of their guests again.
Once the parents and the old wizard were already out of sight, Quinn signal for Grace's attention. "Psst! Grace, come here!!" He whispers, once she came, the adviser pulled out a small little money pouch out of his pockets and gave to the princess. "Here, take this. It's a little small something to give you on your birthday."
"You mean you're not coming?" Grace asks after taking the change, almost nearly surprised that he would let her and her friends be off on their own.
"Nah, I have things to do here. If your father asks, I will tell him you're in your bedroom. We know he can't bother you in there." Quinn says. The teens deserve to have a little bit of fun on their own and what better way to give them some money to spend it on for theirselves, especially mostly on the birthday girl?
"Thanks Quinn, you're the best!" Grace gave him a hug showing how grateful it was of him to let them have a good time and just be the fun loving teens that they are. "Come on guys, we're going shopping!" Grace spoken to her friends and cousins happily.

"Hello Grace, my you've certainly outgrew your parents, haven't you?" Gandalf spoke as he turned to greet the birthday girl.
When her name was mentioned, Arowen nodded.
"Gandalf! Did you bring your fireworks?" Amir asked eagerly interrupting the conversation.
Gandalf laughed and nodded. "Yes Faramir Took, I brought some special for the birthday party." He replied with an amused glint in his eyes.
"Frodo, surely you're being a bit too overprotective? I know she is your daughter but she is also a teenager and you know how they like some independence surely?" Aragorn spoke once the kids were out of earshot.
'Yes he is but given what is to come I can't say I blame the young hobbit... Poor Grace and Eldarion, these two have yet to learn the journeys their destinies will soon be calling for them...' The old wizard thought gravely to himself as his smile faded watching the retreating figures of the kids.
"I'm glad Quinn isn't going with us, at least he knows you've got us with you and we can all handle ourselves just fine." Arowen spoke as they all exited the castle together heading for the market located in the lower town of the city.

"I know what would you think, but out of the goodness of my heart, I am doing what is best for Grace!" Frodo responded when Aragorn pointed out the obvious about the hobbit's parenting duties. Only the small king himself didn't seem himself being overprotected, but it was so clear that even Sam saw it a lot in his friend before Aragorn had brought it up.
"We know Strider is right, Mr. Frodo." Sam replied, still going on about with the same old titles for Aragorn and Frodo. "I'm not like that with Tolman, and I'm certainly not that way with Goldilocks either. So try to lighten up a bit." He added, hoping his old friend would take it easy.
"I AM, SAM! I AM!!" Frodo yelled stubbornly, but also very firmly frustrated. Poor Sam reacted nearly shocked by the king's outburst. "I'm sorry Sam....I don't know why I yelled." Poor Frodo said, being ashamed with that unlikely behavior of his.
Meanwhile while heading out down to the located market, Grace had completely agreed with Arowen that Quinn had their back for them. "You have NO idea what it feels like having a dad who never trusts you about everything!" Grace can't help but feel like being put in a very ranting mood. "He STILL treats me like a baby!" She heaved a groaned sighed. "I never get to do anything or go anywhere on my own!" She added. "I never even been outside of this kingdom before!"
Goldie felt very sorry for her poor tall friend because lucky for Arowen and Eldarion, they were capable to actually journey so long from home to attend for Grace's birthday party, and only Goldie and her brother Tom themselves actually did used to live a old life in The Shire when they were much younger as kids, but because Tom was far too young to even remember, Goldie was the only person to actually have a few fond memories of good old Hobbition during her childhood.
"I want to go where the real action is. I want a taste of adventure!!" Grace continued, dying to feel the need of some real life exploring out there in the world.
"Maybe someday you will. Goldie's always talking about going back to The Shire, right sis?" Tom said, turning over to Goldie. His sister nodded her head. "I do because our family used to live there before we moved here. I ask our dad a lot if we're going to revisit it, but I don't think we're going to." Reply the blonde she-hobbit, feeling disappointed that after so many years of begging and asking about it so much, Goldie stop bringing it up to Sam.
"So what's our plan?" Kassie asks, wondering what was the first step they would do after they finally arrived at the market. "We shop and we don't stop shopping until we're out of pocket money!" Grace grinned excitedly.
Tom groaned very dully. "Ugh, why do I have this bad feeling we're going to--" "And the boys will carry our stuff for us!" Grace finished. Thus, making Tom hissed below his breath. "UGGH! Are you joking me? Tell me this is NOT your real plan you had in mind, Grace!!" Tom glared at the tall wizard/hobbit halfling.

"Relax Frodo. Today is a happy day, it's Grace's big day. Let her have some fun and enjoy herself and besides it's not like Quinn or the others will let her get into too much trouble." Aragorn consoled the hobbit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A shopping spree? Finally! I've always wanted to do one but it gets old doing it with your mom after awhile and doesn't work at all doing it with your father or brother." Arowen laughed.
"May the Gods have mercy on our poor souls." Amir agreed with Tom clearly not too thrilled. Eldarion didn't look too amused either but he was wise enough to keep his mouth shut given that Grace was princess of this realm and it was her birthday and that meant as much as they hated the idea of being the girls' pack mule for the day, they had to do do it anyway.
While the girls went to one particular stand admiring some jewelery and leaving Tom, Eldarion, and Amir to stay with their bags, a strange feeling came over Eldarion. He suddenly felt cold. He put down the bags looking around in confusion as the marketplace around him seem to turn dark and was being covered in a large blanket of fog.
He blinked in confusion as the scenery soon changed to a strange woodland he had never seen before. He looked around for any sign of his companions but he was alone. 'What's going on? Where am I?' he thought to himself confused and slightly panicked as he heard the eerie voice of the wind calling his name that seemed to grow louder and louder.
"Eldarion! Yoo-hoo! Pretty boy! Earth to Eldarion! Do you come in?" Amir called shaking Eldarion and waving his hand up and down in his face clearly trying to get his attention as the young man seemed to just be staring off into space for no apparent reason.
"Amir?" Eldarion asked as he slowly snapped out of it as everything around him began to turn to normal. Had it all been a mirage? He wondered.
"You totally spaced out there? Don't tell me, you've started checking out women too like Tom there?" Amir commented pointing to a large unattractive woman who waved flirtatiously at Eldarion making him turn red and dip his head awkwardly in greeting to her feeling completely embarrassed.
He couldn't tell Amir what had really happened for fear that the hobbit would think him insane especially since only he had seemed to notice it.
"Look, it's this pretty?" Arowen asked her brother showing him a green emerald bracelet she had bought.
"Uh sure.." Eldarion replied shrugging his shoulders trying to shake away the strange mirage from his mind that had felt so real.
"Are you okay?" She asked her brother her smile fading to a look of concern.
"Im fine." He lied hoping he sounded convincing enough deciding it was best not to tell his sister about it too but feeling guilty that it was the first secret he had ever kept from her.
