"Augh, you're right. Sorry!" Sam apologized, realizing the stupidity he felt for the common mistake on behalf of Grace.
"You're sorry?! Well you should be Mr. Samwise!" Angel told the hobbit sternly. "What kind of responsibility do you take? Telling us they were gone right under your noses, and then saying they didn't went to the Shire. They were or they weren't! One of those are excuses and the other has to be the real truth!"
"Look, I've forgot all right? It's been a long day for us both!" Sam replies bluntly. "It's what happens when you get old! The mind doesn't work the same like it once does. But Mr. Frodo knows I'm right; I'm right over a lot of things, but I still think Grace ran off and maybe the kids left on their own to go lookin' for her. They've could be back in the Shire by now, but I can't go saying the same on behalf for Miss Emily's son or Gimli's son."
Angel wish she had other words to say to stand up by her rights over about her daughter and how wrong Sam was yet again, but had no solid evidence to prove her being the right one. "No..." The queen shook her head, disagreeing with Sam. "You're wrong about my daughter, Samwise. Grace would never run away. And if she did, well..." Left with nothing else to add in, Angel heaved with a heavily defeated sigh.

"None of this can be helped now. We cannot help our kids now. We have our own people who need us now. We've wasted enough time, come on." Aragorn took charge of the situation. It nearly killed him inside to say that his children were beyond his aid even though he knew it was true and hoped wherever they were they were at least safe.
"Nows not the time to sulk Frodo, Aragorns right. You can make it up to your daughter later." Gimli added as he walked after the hobbit. ===============================================================================================
After eating a quick breakfast, the kids set off once again this time following Tristan, Roran, and Gloin who took the lead.
Tauriel wasn't surprised to find though Eldarion walked in front of his group of friends, almost like their leader, he kept his distance from Roran and Roran from him. She was sure it was because of the awkwardness of the night before that had occurred between the two of them though neither she nor they mentioned it.
She was surprised however at the fact that her brother's new friends, Cedric and Hayley, had also for some reason decided to join them on their journey back home. Perhaps they had a closer bond with her brother then she had originally imagined.
She walked alongside Arowen in silence noticing the girl was rolling her eyes at her friend, Grace's, rushed attempts to join Tristan at the front of the group and smiled commenting "Shes rather quite taken with him. Its kind of cute actually." "More like revolting." Arowen scoffed. Tauriel took a moment to stare at her as if trying to read something that wasn't there or said before she whispered "You're not jealous, are you?" "Dont be absurd! I just think she's getting way ahead of herself thats all." Arowen replied looking away. Tauriel didn't seem convinced in the slightest. "Uh huh." She replied before adding "People should just tell people how they feel about one another instead of waiting around and waisting the opportunity to do so by either watching them be with someone else or-" She stopped abruptly and looked away as if wanting to say more but choosing not to for some reason.
"So what do you think this Narnia place will be like?" Amir meanwhile asked Tom, Kassie, and Goldie who he walked beside behind Arowen and Tauriel.
"Walk any slower and it will be a whole other year before you find out." Gloin called over his shoulder to the rest of the group but Amir and the other hobbits in particular.
"Who died and made him leader?" Amir mumbled.
"No one. Gloin just likes to take charge now and again like Tristan or Roran but don't worry his bark is worse than his bite." Tauriel reassured him.
"Guess that means he's all bark and no bite, huh?" Amir teased with a sheepish grin.
"I heard that." Gloin commented turning to face him briefly with a glare before continuing on with Tristan and Roran.
"You seem grouchier than usual." Tristan spoke to Gloin.
"Im not."
"Thinking about her again?"
"No, now can we just drop this conversation already?"
"Alright but you're going to have to face her sooner or later Gloin."

Grace didn't hear a single word about Arowen and Tauriel talking about her winning attempts over on Tristan's affection, however hearing the catching voices of Gloin barked rudely at her young cousin Amir seem to caught her attention off guard. "Hey! Learn some manners! Try to show a bit more respect to the hobbits, all he did was asked a question! Is that so hard?" Grace told Gloin, speaking up in defense for the little hobbit.
"Why is it always the stubborn ones we get stuck with?" Tom asks his sister Goldie with a whisper. Angel and Sam they had always watch fight and bicker a lot through out their childhood, but to see it being with others around their age range was not something the two Gamgee siblings were used to seeing. But Goldie had no answer to her brother's question, so she shrugged her shoulders.
"Whose this her you two are talking about?" Kassie asks Gloin and Tristan, overhearing the two friends talking about a she-person.
=====================================================================================================================
It was still killing Frodo on the inside with the guilty riddance he was feeling, rethinking what Sam had said about Grace running off. He'd do just about anything just to see her one last time before they knew their own lives would be at risk of the war. "Later?" The hobbit questions the dwarf right when he stop in his tracks to turned around and see Gimli. "What if that day will not come? I might never see Grace again, and the last thing we have ever done was fight!" He said sadly. "She hates me! Those were the last words she said to me before she was send away with the other children."

"That day will never come if you let it never come and you'll be surprised what kids say and how soon they forget those words." Gimli told him. "You think you're the only one to fight with your child and hear the words I hate you? Not even close. Legolas and Tristan did it all the time and maybe even Legolas and his own father too. Its something that just happens and like everything else, it'll pass." ==================================================================================================================================================================
"No one important." Gloin grumbled when Kassie asked who the her he and Tristan had been referring to. He had ignored Grace as Tristan shrugged and replied "Relax. Its just something you get used to Gloin. He tends to be quite moody at times and I think this is one of those times, it'll pass." to her in a whisper.
He took a moment to look back at his sister and Arowen but noticed Arowen immediately switched her gaze away from him to her friends. "Must be a curse." She joked lightly at Tom's comment easily overhearing his question to his sister due to her sharpened hearing.
Tristan looked back towards Grace instead after Arowen looked away from him. "We'll travel until sundown."
"Sundown? But what second breakfast? Elevenses? Luncheon? and Dinner?" Amir spoke up.

"I don't think they know a thing about second breakfast Amir." Said Tom, replying to Amir's question about their important meal time. "Well I currently won't be waiting until sundown to eat. We'll be starving!" Kassie pouted while poor Goldie let a sadden sighed. Being only half a hobbit herself, Grace understood how huge of a big deal it was for hobbits to get their six meals a day, whenever they can. Quite frankly, Grace haven't seen her cousins complained about this much on skipping their daily eating time since it was something they clearly pick up from their fathers Merry and Pippin.
"I got this." Grace told the four hungry hobbits when she look at them, but look back at Tristan to give him a well known fact about hobbits. "I know you don't have hobbits in Narnia, but it's very important they need to have their six meals a day. They eat every two hours." She tells the Narnian prince pirate.

"Every two hours? You've got to be kidding. We cant stop to eat every two hours, we'll never get anywhere that way." Roran spoke up.
"Let them eat now. It'll have to hold them off until we stop again at sundown. If anything three meals a day will be better than nothing." Eldarion offered a compromise. He knew how important the meals were to the hobbits but he also agreed with Roran that they couldn't afford to stop that much. The way he figured it the sooner they got to Narnia the better.
"But-" Amir tried to protest not to thrilled with the compromise naturally.
"Know when to fight your battles, Amir, this isn't one of those times." Tristan told the hobbit before nodding to Eldarion and Grace. "Very a quick meal and then we get back on the road."

"Hobbits never kid around about their food." Grace told Roran and that was true, due to their way of lifestyle in eating. Even the halfling wizard herself came to sometimes having the habit of eating every two hours, but not as much as her two cousins and friends do a lot.
Like Amir, Kassie wasn't all that thrilled too either about toning down their meals to three times a day rather than being six. But if this was to be their last stop to get food until they reach Narnia, the best thing the hobbit could is to scavenge for extra food that was needed as much as possible. The she-hobbit gave her cousin a bit old quick nudge to get his attention. "Psst! Amir, I got an idea." She whisper to him. "Let's grab very bit of food we can find and take it with us. We're going to need lots of it!"
Tom couldn't help but crack a bit of a smile to his face and shake his head. He didn't seem deeply affected by Roran's common reaction just from learning how much hobbits really love to eat. "These pirates have a lot to learn about hobbits." He whispered to his sister, whom agreed along with him. "They do. I notice it too." Goldie whispered back to her brother with a nod.

"Yeah we'll pack and take it with us so we can munch along the way" Amir whispered with a grin.
"Tauriel, Arowen, Hayley, and Sarra can go with Grace and the hobbits and gather something to eat. The rest of us will wait here." Eldarion spoke up. He had purposely not chosen Tristan to go with them knowing fully well Grace would be far more interested in making small talk with the elven prince turned pirate than gathering food.

"WHAT? Are you completely bonkers?! I won't be working well again with that hairy footed little liar!" Hayley cried, giving Eldarion quite the glare. It had seem the only reason she believed his plan was done on purpose just to keep the two ladies away from Tristan. However unlike Hayley, Grace thought it was nothing but just a scam to be forced to work along side with Hayley as punishment. "Call me names one more time and you'll be asking for it!" Grace hissed at Hayley bitterly.
"Weasel! Sea-slug! Do you want more? I've got tons of them!" Hayley says. She did not care what kind of comeback she would had coming from the wizard/hobbit princess, but she did not fear her at all. "I'll show you!!" Grace exclaims, moving her arm straight out with an open palm of her hand. Grace lower her head down a little with her eyes shut tight, with the use of her other hand having two fingers pressed against the side of her head. If she had deeply try her hardest to focus, perhaps her magic would sprang out. "Come on! Work for me magic..." She mumbles in awaiting, but nothing was happening. "WORK FOR ME!!!" She cried out, begging desperately.
Hayley stared at Grace odd like the girl had been off her meds or something. "What in the krakken's name are you doing?" She asks, wondering what it was Grace was trying to show off for.
"Stay quiet! If I focus perfectly still without distractions, I can use my magic for punishing you!" Grace ordered the she-pirate to keep her mouth shut. But still, nothing was happening. And so she gave up. "Ugh! Why can't I do it?"
"Magic? Wha--what kind of nut-head are you supposed to be? Some type of sorcerer?" Hayley asks the crazy young girl. "Wizard!" Grace corrected the pirate lady. "The word you're looking for is a wizard!"
"You mean the only half wizard from Middle-Earth whom doesn't have a single dose of magical powers in her?" Tom says, but then the second he pointed it out, he knew for sure he was gonna regret spilling that bit out when he got a bit of glare coming from Grace herself.
"Gracie, have you told them you're powerless?" Goldie asks her friend. She had purposely used the term powerless rather than telling them their wizard/hobbit companion doesn't have any powers, for they weren't sure if the wizard powers had ever skip her generation or not or possibly would be to coming late due to being born a late bloomer.
"No...??" Grace answered, feeling quite embarrassed of how much of a fool she must of appear to Tristan and the rest of her friends.

"Never mind that. Like it or not we are now in a group and we must learn to work together so enough of the bickering already." Tauriel sternly scolded the two girls. "Honestly I'd have to say you two are almost as bad as men when it comes solutions ending in fighting and bickering." She added leading the way.
'Poor Grace. I'll have to remember to have a word with Gaius and Merlin in Narnia. Perhaps they could teach her a bit of magic.' Tristan thought giving the girl a sympathetic glance for a moment but saying nothing so not to draw more attention to that fact and embarrass Grace further.
"You know, she's a lot like you Arowen." Amir commented to the other she-elf as the rest of the group followed Tauriel and their growling stomachs.
"I'd rather doubt that." Arowen replied with a small smile. She did agree with Amir on one thing though, she was spunky that was for sure.
Eldarion sighed. Sure he was keeping those two girls, particularly Grace, away from Tristan but he was trying to be like his father too and take charge of the group which was easier said than done.
"No one said being a leader was easy and don't worry Tauriel and Sarra will keep those two in line." Tristan told the younger halfling touching him on the shoulder and giving him a small smile before going to join Gloin and Cedric.
'Tristan isn't such a bad guy but the thought of him being alone with Grace just- uggh! Oh Valar, please let me be doing the right thing!' Eldarion thought somewhat guiltingly to himself before casting a sideways glance at Roran who ignored him pretending to busy himself by keeping watch. 'I'll need to find a moment to talk to Roran and give him a better apology too.' He added the reminder to himself.

Grace hadn't felt this publicly humiliated this badly since Jackal the dwarf dump her birthday cake all over on her back in Middle-Earth, ruining her perfect birthday on what was supposed to be the best night of her life, but now reflecting back on that, she wasn't so sure what was more worse; either that or catching the look in Tristan's face when she took notice of the sympathetic glance he had given her. She was the only one walking behind from the girls group, staring at her powerless hands. "Did you see the way he look at me?" She asks softly but sadly, bringing her hands over to her forehead and hunged down her head in shame. "Ohh, I am a disgrace to my family's name!!"

"Why? Because your powers havent come yet? I may not be a wizard but I was always told by my uncle that magic comes from a need and requires a great deal of energy to preform even the smallest spell that can kill you if you say the wrong word or use too much energy before you're ready because you cant start a spell and stop it once its started. If you ask me, you make yourself a much stronger formidable woman by being without it and if anything it makes you an equal among the rest of us and that, believe me, is a good thing." Tauriel pointed out to her over her shoulder.
"Shes right and I wouldn't bother at all what he thinks of you, you barely even know him, if he thinks low of you for something like that, it just means hes shallow and not for you." Arowen added. Her tone was not harsh just speaking as a matter of a fact. Despite her believing her friend was a bit daft for falling head over heels for the elven pirate so quickly, Grace was still her friend and she wouldnt let a guy belittle her in any way.
Amir ignored the conversation going on amongst the three girls as he set about to his primary task: appeasing his hungry stomach as he began picking almost anything edible he could find from mushrooms to berries stuffing one in his pocket for every other he stuffed in his mouth.
He and the others were so busy amongst themselves they had no idea they were being stalked by a couple of large hungry Urgals, a large tall horned beast resembling that of a cross between an orc and a minotaur, until they charged and began attacking naturally going for the hobbits, which appeared to be the easiest prey, first.
Amir attempted to defend himself with a branch he broke off from a tree swing it left and right to keep the Urgal away from him but it seemed to take little effect as the Urgal roared loudly and swung its large hand down swiping the branch out of Amir's hands. "Uh oh." The frightened hobbit gulped closing his eyes and bracing himself for the pain of teeth and claws tearing into his soft flesh before opening his eyes to see that Arowen, who had been the closest reaching distance to the hobbit, had pushed him out of the way just in time taking the impact of the blow upon herself which sent her flying a few feet back into the back of a tree.
Tauriel and Sarra also appeared to be busy fending off other Urgals from the other hobbits though obviously losing as well.
Amir was about to rush to help Arowen when they were joined by Eldarion, Roran, Tristan, Gloin, and Cedric who had obviously heard the commotion and came to help.
The boys had all spread out to help each member of the group with Eldarion heading for Grace who appeared to be outnumbered and surrounded as well and Tristan heading to help his sister.
Having no weapon naturally, Eldarion rammed himself into the nearest Urgal using all of his body weight to knock the large beast aside enough to give Grace a chance to run shouting the command for her to do so before he began fighting against the Urgal.
With no weapon, Eldarion was mostly forced to defend himself as opposed to attacking which proved to be a nearly fatal mistake as creature managed to pin his back against a tree and cut a deep wound on his side and his leg from its long horns.
Eldarion yelled out in agony as he tried to push the Urgal away from him enough to be able to move but to no avail. He was fighting blacking out from pain and blood loss when he noticed a figure of a man above them pushing a large mound of rocks landing on some of the urgals and killing them while the others fled.
Eldarions attacker naturally had fled allowing the young elven prince to stand momentarily before he fell to his knees and blacked out.
He came to hours later feeling nothing but shere agony as he forced himself to sit up checking to see if all his friends were alive and seeing with much relief they were.
"Lie still, you're injured badly." He turned to see his sister scolding him as she sat on one side of him and Tauriel sat on the other.
He ignored his sister as he asked "What happened?"
"We were attacked by Urgals and would've been killed had help not come in time." Tauriel told him as Arowen forced him to lie back down as firmly but gently as she could.
As if knowing they were speaking of him, the figure Eldarion had briefly seen approached them. He was a tall thin human with somewhat dark skin and neck length straight dark hair and brown eyes dressed in brown leather.
"Welcome back among the living." He lightly joked.
"This is D'Artangan." Arowen explained noticing her brother's puzzled expression.

Tom help his sister Goldie and good friend Kassie on the other side by picking up every single berry, mushrooms and whatever food they can find possible that was safe to eat. However, things pick up at a very bad turn when Amir was the first one to have his encounter a very large beast namely known as the Urgal. Seconds after, not only had he started being under attacker, but soon was the rest of his friends as well til the boys show up to save the girls and the little halflings. Thankfully, they would managed to be saved with the helping thanks of a fellow newcomer by the name of D'Artangan.
"D'Artangan? That's unlike any kind of name I've heard of." Grace comments, somewhat impressed by the way it sounded to her. But for Kassie, she quickly forgotten all about Roran when D'Artangan had show up to the picture. She find the human to be much more handsome looking than Roran she knew for sure. "Oh no, this guy is much too good looking to be a friend of theirs!" Kassie grinned with a blush.
"When did your cousin have interests in taller guys Grace?" Tom had to asked his taller halfling friend with a whisper. "You got me!" Grace was unsure in her way of saying that she doesn't know and just shrugged her shoulders.
"Hey tall, dark and handsome!" Kassie called to D'Artangan. "How would you like to hooked up to someone cute and special? Like me?" She asks, with a pointed thumb right at her.
Watching Kassie trying to flirt at taller guys was quite a bit of the laughing matter; even for Grace and Tom who couldn't hide their laugh even if they try to. "What? Just because you two flirt at whoever you want, doesn't mean I can't go do it?" Kassie says to her older cousin and friend a bit irritatedly who been obviously making fun of her. The she-hobbit sighed, but decided to get payback that since Grace was more interested in Tristan the most, then perhaps a little changing to the hook-up would get the two of them to keep quiet. "Okay fine!" Kassie added.
"Hey good looking! How would you like to date my cousin Grace or her friend Goldie?" Kassie asks D'Artangan. And that had work like a charm because it did cause Grace and Tom to stop laughing. Grace didn't find anything funny with that bit of a joke at all since it was done on purpose. The hobbit was quite the trickster she was. "Do I appear to you like I'm interested?" Grace says back, glaring down at her cousin.
But Goldie, being the most quiet of them all, was taken a bit back when her name got involved into the little trick of a joke. It even gave her quite a bit of a flushing blush to her face. "Thank you but no thank you. Tall people are not my type." Goldie reply to Kassie, letting down the offer easily before casting a bit of a small glance towards Amir where she gave him a bit of a warm smile, but back out by looking away before any other comments would be given out.
For Tom, he was very surprised the way his sister gave Amir the look. He knew well that Goldie has never show interested in other guys before, whatever the issue may be if it was personal or not, but it was the first time he saw his sister looking at Amir more differently than usual. He couldn't tell very well, but after catching a glimpse of it, it would seem to Tom that his sister Goldie might be having some type of a secret crush on Amir. Though he never admit it, it did seem to him rather very cute.

"Its a Telmerian name. A neighboring island to Narnia." Gloin informed Grace when she had commented on his name. He sounded uninterested as he, Roran, and Tristan watched him closely with suspicion.
"Eldarion!" Arowen had scream running over to her brother fearing he may have been killed from the encounter with the Urgals. She had ripped the sleeves of her shirt giving her enough cloth to tightly bandage her brother's wounded leg stopping it from bleeding out any further.
Roran himself had been forced to use his shirt as a temporary bandage for their wounded companion afraid he would bleed out if they didnt use something to cover it.
"Is he-?" Amir started to ask as he approached the three elves unable to bring himself to finish the sentence afraid of the answer and forcing himself not to gag at the sight of the large pool of blood his friend lay unconscious in.
"We will need to get moving quickly. The smell of blood will bring far worse than Urgals if we linger here." The mysterious young hero commented as he climbed down from the hill and approached the group.
"We?" Gloin questioned him suspiciously. "There is no we. We have no idea who you are and have no reason to trust you."
"My name is D'Artangan." The man told him with a stern glare before turning towards Tauriel's direction who stood by her brother. "Think kindly of my name, if you think of it at all." He told her before proceeding to walk off.
"Wait. Dont go. You saved our lives. The least we can do is offer you food and a place to sleep for the night in return." She called after him ignoring the look of shock from her brother, Roran, and Gloin.
He gave her a small smile. "Just for the night." He agreed.
Carrying Eldarion, Roran and Arowen had walked at the back of the group while Tristan walked alongside Gloin and Grace casting one or two glances back and forth from their new companion and back at Arowen whose gaze was solely on her wounded brother. 'That could've easily been Tauriel or Sarra...' He thought remorsely to himself feeling bad for the elven twins.
D'Artangan had led them to a cave where they could safely take shelter for the night that was thankfully big enough for the large group knowing they could not carry injured Eldarion far for fear of injuring him further.
"You're awake! How are you feeling?" Amir eagerly asked rushing over to join Eldarion relieved to see his friend was okay.
"Lousy I guess.." Eldarion replied painfully. What hurt even worse was that he could see Grace sitting by Tristan, Goldie, and Tom. He didn't feel bad knowing he had protected her from this happening to her but he felt bad in terms of hoping it would have her notice him a little better.
Tauriel couldn't help but find herself glaring at Kassie's suggestion for D'Artangan to date Grace or Goldie before she caught herself doing so and made herself stop. She shouldn't care. She couldn't care...but why did she care?
"Uh...thanks but I shouldn't over stay my welcome. Narnians and Telmarines have never exactly been what you might call friends." D'Artangan spoke using it both truth and an excuse to turn down the dating offer without seeming rude.
OOC: Sam has given me permission to use her characters until she can regain access to the forum to post for herself.
BIC: "That's not true." Sarra pointed out stubbornly. She had pretty quiet since the attack but speaking of Telmarines and Narnians had finally brought her the urge to speak up. "I have Telmarine blood and I am not treated with any hatred."
"You are also a Narnian therefore that is probably how they choose to see you. I can guarantee they will not look at me the same way but it matters not. I don't stay in one place too long anyway." D'Artangan pointed out to her.
"Then maybe its time that changed." Amir added. "You're welcome to stay with us. The more the merrier, right?"
"I guess.." Tristan, Gloin, and Roran mumbled unenthusiastically.

Thankfully for the gang, a cave was the perfect place to get a wholesome goodnight's rest. But Goldie was the only one who could not seem to fall asleep. She sneak outside to get some fresh outdoors air to clear her mind off. Fortunately, she didn't appear to be alone. A sudden sound of a twig breaking to a small, not very loud quite of a snap, caught the female hobbit off guard; only to turned around just to see that it was only none other but her brother Tom.
"Oh Tom!" Goldie gasped, but kept her voice down gently. "What are you doing up?" She asks. "Checking to see if you were all right." Tom replied with a response, but also kept his voice down as well. "I'm fine...I'm just--outside because I needed to." Goldie told, though it was mostly more of a lie than the truth.
"If you say so." Tom shrugged. The brother and sister Gamgees didn't had anything else to say much after that, only then was Tom able to clear his throat up softly. "So uhh...Faramir Took huh?" He spoken up a bit with a sheepish grin, showing that he brought up Amir's name on purpose just to get his sister to spill the beans if there was a secret crush being hidden. "I uhh--heheh, I always saw you as the type who stay single forever." Tom added with a small laugh, though of course he was only kidding around about the staying single joke.
"What?!!?" Goldie whispers by surprise, hoping that no blushing was coming to her face, but had already felt her cheeks fluster by it. "I-I-I don't---I uhh..." She stutter, trying to pretend there was nothing but cannot bring herself to tell a lie, not even to her own brother. "Oh dear, I'm doom! He's going to tell on everyone and then I'll be judged and be made fun of, just like Kassie and Grace!" She thought worriedly. But the best thing to do was to come clean, hopefully if her brother had enough good on him to keep it only between the two of them. "Umm...ahem! You--you notice? When?"
"Uh, you made it pretty clear yourself earlier today when you told Kassie tall guys are not your cup of tea." Tom pointed out the very obvious big giveaway reason his sister had mentioned earlier to Kassie. "And I saw the look you gave Amir." He briefly added, only to get a good small laugh outta it.
Poor Goldie felt even more embarrassed than ever. "You're not going to tell anyone are you? Oh please Tom, don't! I'm your sister." Tom didn't really need to hear much of the desperate begging coming out of his poor sister's tone, for he truly knew how it feels keeping crushes very deep of a secret. "Relax sis, nobody will know!" He tells her. "But umm listen, if you need my help to win him over--"
"Tom, I'm not going to flirt at others to make Amir jealous. It's pointless! That's not who I am! That's more of you!" Goldie answered since Tom's idea of bad flirting never worked once, it would never do successful for her. She had watched it for far too long and would never give it a go.
"'Kay fine! Your call, but if your plan is to sit around and wait for nothing to happened, I wouldn't go with that idea if I were you." Tom informed his sister. "Do you want my advice? Try doing something that's more...nicer! If that's what you wanted."
"Nicer?" Goldie responded a bit surprised but was interested in hearing what the idea was. "Yeah! Think positive! Like a real Gamgee would do. Like a...I don't know. Whatever comes through that big old brain of yours. You're smart, you can figure something out."
Goldie nodded, liking her brother's idea much better than the same old trick Tom always goes for all the time. "You're right! I'll do it! Thanks." She says with a smiled. "It's what I"m here for." Tom says with proud pride.
Morning came bright and early, but once it did, there was a dark cloud of smoke filling above their heads. "Do you smell smoke?" Tom was the first to ask, quickly awaken by the smell of it. But it appear the question was already been answered when there was a sound of a scream coming from his sister.
Tom rushed right outside only to catch Goldie attempting to put the fire out, for it had burst into flames. She stomp her foot on it hard she can carefully so it was not to get a single burned until the fire died off. Soon as Grace and Kassie were up and wonder what the big commotion was all about, they weren't at all too thrilled to see that Goldie had burned most of the food she and Amir had worked so hard on getting.
"NO!! OUR FOOD!!" Kassie screamed, bursting into the scenery staring in horror by the perfectly good food that was all now brunt into a deep darken dry crisp. "Goldie, look what you did! Those leftovers were going to be saved for our second breakfast, and now it's ruined! Why?!!?" Kassie cried.
"I'm sorry." Goldie apologized innocently ashamed. "I was trying to prepare a meal." "I haven't seen a mess this bad in years since the cake incident for my dad's birthday party." Grace said as she had taken sight of the now destroy pieces of food in the fire. But Goldie felt guilty for what she had done; Only because she had taken her brother's advice from last night to do something nice for Amir, and the first idea to come to the hobbit's mind was trying to prepare a lovely breakfast meal for him, only for it to ended very poorly. Goldie casted a bit of a sad gaze towards Amir, but that hadn't last very long when Kassie took notice of it.
"Who or what are you supposed to be looking at?" Kassie asks Goldie while she look behind to see if there was something that may of caught the hobbit's eye, or a somebody. "Nothing!" Goldie lied, looking away quickly. "I...only wanted to do something nice by making breakfast for everyone, that's all."
"Don't push it too far Goldie." Tom warned his sister, keeping his tone down a mutter so she can hear him.
