Oh my gosh, your reaction made me smile YOU GOT THEM DUDE! Looks like 3 members should be enough to start this roleplay, but before we begin, I still need someone to play Gandalf cause what's a fun trip without our favorite wizard? If it's not too much trouble, I was hoping maybe you can use him Katie. Is that all right with you?

OOC: Perfect! Looks like we're ready to begin. OMG, this is so exciting!!! While I'm at it, I think I'll take the part of Bilbo too just for the heck of it. I'll start us off with something I have never done before at the beginning intro of a roleplay; A PROLOGUE! DUN DUN DUUUNNNN XD
BIC: It has been said if a couple of different race were to have children that were a set of twins, one of them was bound to become evil in an upcoming certain of age. Many believe it to be an ancient prophecy, while others see it as more of a fake story to frighten people. With that being said, it look like the tall tales of that mystery was about to come true.
Long ago, in a small kingdom, there lived a wizard who ruled as king and his hobbit wife as queen. It was a simpler times, when those days the rulers live in peace and so did their villagers. But all of that changed when the wizard king was set out to war. He died in the battle, leaving nothing but behind his pregnant wife. She had given birth to a healthy set of twin girls, born with magical powers. The youngest one she named was Angel.
Raising two children on her own as a single parent was not easy, but as long as they were in good care, it was all that matter. But then one day, when the twin princesses were 13 years old, the queen had been murdered. Only one was the one who witness the death of the dearly beloved queen; and that someone was Angel, who at the horror discover saw that it was her sister who had killed the hobbit queen. This resulted in a one-on-one battle. It didn't last long, but so as punishment, Angel's sister cursed her by turning her hands and arms into solid old rotten rusty metal.
Angel was then sentence to life of death, but luckily for the young princess, she ran away on one of the royal horses. She never looked back. Almost losing hope for herself, Angel swore that she will return to the castle and get revenge on her sister, even if it took her a lifetime to seek anyone will who help her.
=========================================
Life back home at the Shire felt different for Frodo. He finished the story of the book belonging to his dear uncle Bilbo, narrating in his mind about the adventures he would never forget; the title that he would called The Lord of the Rings.
The hobbit was glad his quest was done, no more journeys, no more life long traveling. Even though he would never forget, Frodo was pretty positive he wouldn't be leaving his home again. At least not for a while now, but lately, every single night when he had went to sleep, Frodo began to developed strange dreams. A dream where a mysterious stranger was out in the meadow, wearing a long cloak and it's face hiding in a hood. There was no knowing if this strange being was safe or dangerous, or even male or female for that matter. Frodo just can't seem to understand why this dream kept happening every night. What was it supposed to mean? Was it a sign?
Sometimes on those evenings, it would keep Frodo awake because he was too scared to fall asleep knowing that he would have that same dream. He wonder if the ring's power could of been the cause of this unknown thing that was bothering him. But he knew that couldn't be, or could it be that was part of a wound he knew that wouldn't heal? Even so, it didn't felt like a wound, so the young hobbit had no idea.
Perhaps if his wizard friend Gandalf knew, he could look for the answers. On one day, while Gandalf was visiting Bilbo, Frodo took a nap so he was to catch up on his sleep. But Sam had stopped by to see how his friend was doing.
"Mr. Frodo?" He called, knocking at the front entrance. The door was loosely open, so he walked inside. Sam found Frodo napping by the window. He walked to him closely to see if he was all right. Frodo finally stirred when he heard coming close to him. It was just only his good friend Sam.
"Oh, sorry to wake you Mr. Frodo. I didn't know you were asleep." Sam said.
"It's all right Sam." Frodo said, his voice sounding sleepy. He let out a little yawn. "Are you all right? You look tired." Sam asked, feeling somewhat concern. Frodo rubbed his eyes, then sat up straight to look at his friend. "It's the dream I've had again. It's keeping me from sleeping."
"The dream?" Sam replied. "The one with the strange being out in the meadows. I can't understand what it means." Frodo answered. Sam could see why he look so tired lately, but he understood. Dreams did always had the strangest way of telling somebody about something.
"Have you ask Mister Gandalf's help yet?" Sam asked him. "No, not yet. He's spending the day with Bilbo. They'll be returning later." Frodo said.
"I'll tell you what; I've got something that will cheer you up; let's go spend the day outside with Merry and Pippin. You don't want to be coop up inside waiting all day for Bilbo and Gandalf to return do you?" Sam said, knowing that Frodo needed to get some fresh air.
"No, but it does sound like a nice idea. I'd like that." Frodo commented, giving Sam a little smile. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
So the two hobbits set out looking for Frodo's cousins. They search around for the two mischievous kin, but couldn't find them. "Odd, it's not like Pippin and Merry not to be found. I wonder where they could be." Sam said to Frodo. "I wonder too!" Frodo reply, getting a little bit worried. He hoped nothing bad happened to them.

Meanwhile, not far off on the other side of the Shire, two young Hobbits were at it again in stealing some fresh vegetables from the garden of a crotchety old farmer. What better way for them to get an easy meal in order to fulfill their seemingly never-ending appetites? They reason that the farmer wouldn't miss one or two of his precious vegetables in his inventory, yet the two miscreants were actually running off with armfuls of the lot, struggling to hold it all as they dashed off to avoid getting caught.
Pippin counted out loud to himself the number of carrots, tomatoes and heads of lettuce in his hands as he and Merry ran through the cornfields. Merry quickly interrupted him and asked in urgency, "Will you quit counting and just come on?"
Shortly enough, Merry raised his head to look back and hear loud muttering coming from behind the tall stalks of corn and a scythe behind held up high. "Quick, this way!" Leading off through the corn stalks and out into the open, he looked around on where to go next until he spotted Frodo and Samwise a far distance. "Look, Pippin! It's Frodo and Sam! Let's go!" They instantly headed off to where their Hobbit companions were and had almost dropped their load before meeting them.
"Hello, Frodo. Hello, Sam," Merry quickly greeted the two, a little out of breath. "Care to join us for a feast?"
Pippin had unintentionally dropped a few tomatoes and carrots on the ground after having caught up with Merry, struggling to keep it all together. "Yes, err, perhaps a feast that's far, far, far away from here?"

After searching high and low, Frodo had probably guess by now that Merry and Pippin were stealing vegetables again from the farmer so they check there. And he was right because they finally found them inside the cornfields.
"You two were stealing again?" Sam had to asked, looking a little surprised from the handful of veggies they were carrying. Frodo just shook his head at his fellow kin. "Oh you two. After all that has happened, you two didn't learn a thing?"
But there wasn't any time for answers as they heard the farmer's voice coming in close. Right away, the four hobbits ran far as possible, but it didn't look where they were going and tumble down the hill. They were unharmed, but most of the stolen vegetable were now squished or crushed.
"I'm getting the sense of deja vu again!" Sam thought. It was just like old times. After brushing himself off from the dirt, Frodo look at a look around at the road they were at. He had a bad feeling that something was going to close in. Or SOMEONE!
He look right away and heard the sound of horse. Just then, he finally saw it. A horse and it's rider was coming their way. "GET OFF THE ROAD!" Frodo shouted at the other hobbits. But it was too late, the horse had already closed in. The animal and it's rider had gallop so fast that they didn't spotted the hobbits until they got too close, that the horse rise up and kicked it's front legs up, accidentally the rider fell off.
Sam moved in front of Merry, Pippin and Frodo, raising his arms up and try to keep the horse under control. "WHOA WHOA WHOA, EASY FELLA! EASY!!!" The horse finally had calm down, but whatever happened to the person that was riding it? Frodo saw the fallen rider getting up straight away and hid behind a tree. The hobbit moved past his friend to make sure the mysterious stranger was okay. Why was this person so scared of them? They knew they didn't do nothing wrong.
"Are you hurt?" Frodo spoke to the frighten stranger, but didn't answer. The hobbit try again. "You don't have to be afraid of us! We're not going to hurt you, I promise."
Finally, after learning the horse was well, the strange rider spoken. "I'm sorry about my horse. He's easily sensitive, just as I am!" It turn out, the stranger was female when she had talk to them. "Then come out!" Frodo quickly said.
Still a bit shaken on what she should do, she had no choice but to step away from behind the tree. Frodo could see that she was the same height as them, so surely she must be a hobbit. It was the only way to tell. But Frodo got the surprise of his life when he recognize the female's clothing. It was the same one from the dreams he was having. Could it be real? She actually exist? But there was something different about her; unlike the dream, she wove gloves and he could see that she was wearing shoes. Even the dress she wore look old and outdated.
Frodo could only hope this female was not a threat. He gulped quietly. "Who are you?" He asked.
Rather than answering his question, the female stranger removed her hood to reveal her face. She just so happens to be around the same age as Frodo. She had long straight black hair, the tip of her right hobbit ear was crooked, and she had a small blue birthmark under her left eye shaped like angel wings. Frodo drop his bottom lip and his eyes widened. He had never seen anyone who look as pretty as her.
Even Sam himself turned around and discover the she being Frodo stared at. "She's a hobbit!" Sam mutter quietly. "Wait a moment, something's not right! What kind of hobbit wears footwear?!" He thought when he right away notice the shoes she wore. No hobbit in their right mind would ever take a chance in wearing shoes. So why did this one wore them? Maybe she didn't like getting her feet dirty. Or maybe she was ashamed of her hairy feet? Everyone knows hobbits were known for always being barefooted, so it seem very weird to Sam that this was different.
Frodo did not say a word at all. He could feel butterflies fluttering inside of his stomach in knots and his heart pump faster than ever before. Could this be love at first sight for him? Frodo was so love struck, that out of nowhere, the black haired male hobbit immediately fainted and collapsed on the ground fast. "FRODO!!" Sam cried heading towards his friend who passed out. Even the she stranger herself seem almost too surprised. It was the first time anyone passed out after getting one good look at her.
Sam shook Frodo lightly. "Frodo? Frodo, are you alive? Frodo!" But Frodo didn't get up. He then had a funny looking grin on his face, giggling lightly unconsciously. "What on earth gotten into him?" Sam thought with confusion. He never seen Frodo acting this weird, let alone strangely behaving out cold. He raised his voice a little louder. "WAKE UP!!"
The shout of Sam's voice alerted Frodo very quickly. "AAH!" He yelped in a fright. "Are you ok?" Sam asked him. Frodo was still in a dazed. "Ohhh Sam!" Frodo begin, still being in a very love struck mood. "I had the most amazing dream! I met the most incredible lady of all Middle-Earth, and she was so beautiful!"
"Mr. Frodo, she's standing right over there!" Sam pointed who was still standing right behind his back. Frodo went from acting like being struck by cupid's arrow to total embarrassment when he realized it wasn't a dream, it was real! "DAMNIT!" He cursed in thought, biting his lip nervously and flustering with red blush on his cheeks. She waved at Frodo a little with a sweet little smile on her face, trying hard to fight back her giggle. It was cute to her to see someone like Frodo acting so funny.
He quickly gets up. "Uhh uhh you didn't hear what I said....did you?" He asked. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't." She said. Frodo believe he must of made a big fool of himself. Seeing how his friend had enough humiliated for one day, Sam was the first to ask. "Who are you?" He would of ask if she was running away or maybe just took the horse out for a ride, but he didn't ask that part.
"My name is Angel!" She began. "I am a princess from a kingdom far from here."
"A princess?" Sam look puzzled. Angel nodded. "Yes!" "Princess?" Frodo begin to speak, that's when I realized only one explanation; "Are--are you the one who--" Angel can tell judging by their reactions, they must of heard of what happened when she fled away from her castle. "Yes, but I can reassure to you I did not killed my mother. It was my sister!"
"I knew it!" Frodo mumbles, but Sam didn't hear what he mutter. "That's impossible! Everyone thought you were gone!" Sam replied to Angel.
"How did you survive this long?" Frodo asked. He knew how it felt when he went to Mordor, traveling so far from home made him felt like he was homeless. And being outdoors wasn't that easy to stay out without being indoors as to from staying somewhere safe and warm with a roof above their heads.
"It's a miracle you're still here!" Sam commented. Even Angel didn't admit it so. "Yes I know." She agreed. Feeling very sorry for her, Frodo thought for the best if she had return with them back home to The Shire. By now, he was sure that his uncle and wizard pal were probably back home too, but there was only one way to find out, but not without introducing themselves. "I do think it's best if we properly introduce ourselves; Frodo Baggins is my name and this is Samwise Gamgee."
"And don't forget about them! You can't leave them out." Sam whisper to Frodo, pointing over to Merry and Pippin. "Oh and this would be Merry and Pippin. We come from The Shire."
"The Shire?" Angel gasped lightly. She remember thinking back at her childhood memories when her mother the queen always told them stories about the beautiful dazzling home that belong to all of the hobbits. "Oh I don't know why, but I've always dream of viewing the one true place belonging to that of my ancestors. Oh, my mother would be so proud!"
"Your mother? Don't you mean father too?" Sam asked. "Oh maybe you didn't know, but I'm not all hobbit. I'm part wizard!" Angel briefly explained.
Sam shrugged his shoulders. "You look like a regular hobbit to me." He's seen what wizards look like, and he knew for a fact that hobbits were among the smallest of creatures, even more smaller than the dwarfs. And Angel was the same size as him, Frodo, Pippin and Merry. "It's true! I am half and half!"
"Do you have magic just like wizards do?" Sam asked curiously. "Well there's--" Angel was about to reach in to one of her hands to removed the glove, but she stopped before even touching it. She knew that she had reveal to them what she had, they wouldn't like it at all. "I can't say!" She said, not going to go through with it.
"Then come with us! I need to be returning back home before my uncle worries of me!" Frodo said, putting the subject on hold. So the four male hobbits lead the way, taking the princess (along with the horse too) with them back to the rightful side of The Shire. Angel looked in awe. It was everything she dream it would be, just like the stories she remember as a child. "THE SHIRE!!" Galloping close in, the hobbits race after her. "Angel wait!" Frodo cried. "I don't know about you Mr. Frodo, but I did NOT see that coming!" Sam told him as they try their best to catch up on foot.
They stop when they saw Angel getting off her horse and running around to every stop; to the neighbors, to the sights among other supplies and many more. It was like the princess was acting like a child visiting a location with candy for the first time.
"Angel....you mustn't...do that....again!" Frodo panted heavily after they finally caught up with her. "Where is your home?" Angel asked. Frodo pointed a finger. "Over there, but stay close this time!" He told her. He led the way, and in no time, they came to the house. Angel went straight up at the nice house and placed a hand on the wall. Running it, she inhaled and exhaled her breath. "Ahhh, it smells just like home!"
"Your a very weird princess!" Sam couldn't help but tell her that. He still couldn't get over at how strange her behavior was getting. It was so un-lady like! Frodo decided to ignored what Sam just called Angel since it didn't seem like the kind of thing to argue about. "Gandalf and Bilbo should be back by now. Let's see if they are inside!" He opened the door, with the others following close to him, Frodo began to called out for their names. "Bilbo? Gandalf? Are you here?"
Angel was still admiring in awe of how gorgeous Frodo's home was. "I've never seen a home as wonderful as this is!" She said. Frodo found that to be nice. "Thank you, it's been in my family for years!"
"We should split up and see where they're are!" Sam said, giving that it would be best for each of them to check the rooms. "They can't be hard to find Sam!" Frodo mention to him, as he look at him, but when he turned back, Angel was gone. Knowing that she had to still be inside of the house, Frodo chose to look for the princess on his own.
"Wait here with Merry and Pippin. I'll return back with Angel." Frodo tells him. "Not to worry about it Mr. Frodo, I won't be going no where." He said, though he kind of did wish he tag along, since he felt like he didn't trust Angel, let alone being with Frodo by theirselves.
Angel was already in the room where she found Bilbo's desk, along with other of his personal belongings. There, she found Bilbo's pipe and picked it up. "Hmm..." She tapped the inside of it. Curious to give it a smoking try, she was almost going to use it until Frodo caught her. "What on earth are you doing?"
With that being said, Angel got startled and drop the pipe by mistake. "Oh! Baggins, you scared me! I was just umm....it was nothing. I'm sorry! I shouldn't have--" She scramble to pick it up and put it back where she found it, but even so, that didn't fooled Frodo. "Don't they have pipes where you're from?" He asked. "Yes, but I've never used one before."
"Would you like to try it?" He offered. "Well yes, of course!" But Frodo stopped her before she could even test the pipe. "No not that one! Don't used it, it belongs to my uncle! You can use mine!" He said, reaching into his pocket and handing it to her as she took away the other one she held.
"Oh! Why thank you!" She said, looking at the pipe she was given. Frodo gave her the easy instructions. "They're quite easy to use! Just put it in your mouth and blow! But don't blow too hard or the--"
Following the quick steps, Angel gave the smoking pipe a big blow and the smokey ashes spray right at Frodo's face, covering it all dirty. "Oops! Shouldn't have done that!" She cover her lips with the tip of her fingers, stiffing back a chuckle. Frodo coughed, waving his arm to clear away the smoke. After it was gone, Angel could see how filthy he looked. That was when she finally giggled. It had been far too long since the last time she had laughed. "Sorry!"
"It's quite all right. You'll get the hang of it." Frodo said, he wasn't mad at her at all for that big mistake, but he did smile. He thought Angel's little laugh sounded cute. Angel took out a cloth and gave it to Frodo. "Here!" "Thank you!" He said and took the cloth to wipe his face clean. That was when Sam finally came in. "Mr. Frodo, they're here!"

OOC: I hope you don't mind but I may add my OC in later on as well. Her name is Emily. P.S. The pipe thing reminded me of Ariel lol. Were you inspired by that by chance?
BIC: Gandalf let Bilbo enter the home first out of respect, the hobbit hole did belong to the old small hobbit after all, before having to bend over very low just to enter the doorway due to his much larger height and just narrowly missed banging his head on the lower edge of the ceiling as he took off his hat and made his way to the center of the room where he could finally stand to full height.
Gandalf had been away for a while in Gondor helping to set the kingdom back to it's former glory after the long battle for Middle Earth that had nearly destroyed it and helping the newly made king Aragorn, begin his role as king and begin preparations to unite and rebuild other destroyed villages and cities.
Once he was sure Aragorn could handle everything on his own, the old wizard had set forth on horseback for the quaint hobbit village formerly known as the Shire to visit Frodo and the other hobbits.
"Samwise Gamgee, is that you?" He spoke hearing the unmistakeable voice of Frodo's hobbit friend, companion.
OOC: Sorry if it's rusty. I've never played Gandalf before lol.

OOC: Emily? Awesome! Sure, I don't mind. In fact, I forgot to mention OCs are welcome to be a part of the roleplay too lol! And yes! Actually now that you mention about the inspiration of the pipe part, I did XD. And don't feel bad if you get rusty. There's always a first time for everything right? BIC: "In here Mister Gandalf sir!" Sam waved to catch the wizard's attention. Angel and Frodo left the room they were in and joined Sam who saw that Gandalf and Bilbo had arrived back at the perfect time. It was a good chance for them to meet the princess. "Frodo, my dear boy!" Bilbo smiled greeting his young nephew. "Welcome home uncle!" Frodo return the smile and gave his old uncle a welcoming home hug. "And hello Gandalf!" Frodo also greeted the wizard too. "Did you get plenty of rest while we were gone?" Bilbo asked him, since he knew he was resting when they left. "Yes, plenty enough. Thank you for asking." Frodo thanked the elderly old hobbit for asking. Bilbo turn around for a brief sec and spotted Angel who was standing next to Sam. "Ah! And who is this young enchantress?" Bilbo asked, looking at Angel with kindness. Angel felt shy from that wonderful thoughtful comment Bilbo had called her. "This is Angel!" Frodo introduced his relative and good friend to the princess. "And an angel she is! You've never told me you gotten yourself a girlfriend." He smirked. Thus, that left Frodo's cheeks turning a bit of red. "Bilbo, she's NOT my girlfriend! We just met!" He informed him. Though Sam didn't show it, he found it to be very silly Frodo's uncle would mistaken the princess to be his friend's girlfriend. But after what happened earlier, it could be easy to be taking it as a common mistake or a misunderstanding. But Bilbo had only chuckled. It was just his good way of teasing him playfully for a bit. Kindly, Bilbo politely took Angel by the hand and bowed his head to her with respectful grace. "If I may, I'd like to kiss your hand to show my dearest respect! Oh, but first we must removed this--" He started saying if he was trying to removed the glove for Angel, but the princess pulled away. "No, DON'T!" She ordered. Sensing the awkward quitness she was getting from the hobbits and the wizard in front of her, she try to clear her throat. "I mean....ahem! It's.....I'm terribly sorry. I'd prefer if you didn't." She tells him. Bilbo nodded to show his understand. He didn't find to be rude, but he could see that some females didn't like their hands to be kissed for their introduction. "Quite all right, quite all right! Oh, may I fixed you something to eat if you're hungry, maybe a drink perhaps? Fresh tea? Water? Red wine?" "Oh no thank you, but a cup of tea will do nicely!" She said, hoping that there was no hard feelings between them. "I'll get right on it." Bilbo said and head out in the kitchen to work on the tea for Angel. "That was a bit rude!" Sam thought, thinking why Angel wouldn't let Bilbo kiss her hand out of respect. Feeling a bit pressure, the princess could tell what the others were thinking. She didn't mean to be disrespectful, but she didn't want to scare the old hobbit if he knew what was underneath those gloves. Putting that off aside, Angel finally look up, facing the wizard who stood before them. "And you must be Gandalf the white! Princess Angel, at your service!" She says to the wizard as she curtsey, "I've heard a lot about you. You once were traveling with four hobbits, two men, an elf and a dwarf. If it's okay with your permission, I would like to ask, which one of them was the ring bearer?" From that, Sam's mind about the princess went from being very doubtful to suspicious, but he went out of his way to answer Angel's question for him. "You're looking at him!" He replies, gesturing over to Frodo. Like his companion friend, Frodo too was also wondering why the princess wanted to know. Maybe she wanted to get to know them better. "I am! Or....was." He commented. He didn't really wanted to talk about it since it was too long of a story to tell, but he was sure that Angel got the idea. "You? Hmm..." Angel put her fingers on her chin, tapping it lighty. "I never would of expected that." Then remembering about Angel's need for guidance, Frodo begin to think if he was gonna help out the princess at any cost, the only way for that to happened is to get the fellowship teamed up again. "Gandalf, we need your help. Angel's sister has taken over her kingdom and she is looking for assistance who will go and dethroned her, but there are only three I think who will help; We need Gimli, Aragorn and the elf whose name always escape me." Frodo told him though he couldn't remember Legolas' name due to the fact he never did interact with the elf before the splitting up of the fellowship. Upon hearing this, Sam finally had enough and set his foot down for this. "Now just a wait a minute Mr. Frodo! How do we know she was telling us the truth?" Angel started to become offended by this hobbit's words. "What?!" "Sam!" Frodo cried. How could he make Angel feel that bad? "I'm sorry about him, but you must understand, Sam has been, how should I say this? Sam has been feeling limited in trustworthy to travelers since our encounter with Smeagol." "Smeagol?" Angel did not know whom Frodo was talking about since she had never heard that name before. "Gollum!" Sam corrected him. "The miserable little foul two-timing trickster! He fooled Frodo and then betray him later behind his back!" "I learn my lesson, haven't I?" Frodo glared. Why was he bringing Gollum into the conversation? "Then how do we know she's not some impostor, looking to gain something from us?" Sam fernly told him. Either way, Angel caught on pretty quickly. "How DARE you compare me to a monstrous creature! Why would I come this far to make up a white lie?" "If you are the real princess, prove it!" Sam knew that Angel had to be hiding something, and he won't let it go until she clues them in on it. Angel clenched her fists, she turn her head back shutting her eyes tightly. "Conceal it, don't feel it! Coneal, don't feel! DON'T FEEL!!" Angel repeated that thought in her mind, trying to keep her anger under control. There was no point for her to find the secret anymore. She let out a sigh and look back at them. "You want the truth? Well here it is!" She revealed it by removing the glove from her right hand, and showing the metal hand. This result made Sam frighten. "AAAH!" He yelled, running back and tripping. "WITCHCRAFT! YOU KEEP THAT THING AWAY FROM ME, DO YOU HEAR ME?" JUST--STAY BACK!!" Deeply hurt, Angel knew his reaction would happened. Her eyes begin to tear up. "It's just as I thought." She said hurtfully. "You're all the same; since I was 13, the curse has been with me and everyone I meet turns away from me!" Angel put her glove back on, turn her back away from the hobbits, including Gandalf and went by the corner sitting in the chair with her head buried in one hand in shame. But Frodo was the only one who did not fear Angel's curse. He became surprised at first, but he didn't take it so hard like Sam did. Still, it was unacceptable the way Sam reacted. He look back at his friend and glared. "Now see what you've done?" He told him angrily. Feeling deeply sorry for the poor princess, Frodo begin to go to her, but Sam try to stop him. "Mr. Frodo, no!" "Sam! I know what I must do. Please don't stop me!" Frodo warned him. Frodo walked over to the princess. "Let me see them." "See what?" Angel asked. "Your hands!" "Why?" "I want to see them!" Frodo answered. Not sure why he wanted to, Angel decided to go for it and let Frodo give them another look. Frodo removed her glove with one hand while his other hand was on Angel's elbow. Gently, he pulled her sleeve and not only saw that the rest of her hand was metal, but so was the whole arm. He did the same thing with the other. It was nothing he ever saw before. "You're not afraid?" She asked. "No!" Frodo says. He was the first one to know that he was not scared of the curse she carried. It almost made a single tear wanting to shed from her face. But instead, a yellow glow begin to happened in her hands. Still no fear, Frodo became surprised again. "Your hands, why are they glowing?" He asked. "Oh, I'm sorry. When I show emotions, they glow of different colors. The yellow means I'm happy." She explained. "I don't suppose the red symbolizes love does it?" Frodo asked with a soft smile. But his questions made the yellow glow disappear. "No, the red shows when I'm angry, why?" "Oh, no reason!" Frodo said, not really giving Angel the real response why.

Everything had happened so fast after their encounter with Frodo and Sam and their running off with them, that they all fell to the ground, letting all their vegetables roll around everywhere. After getting up to dust themselves off, they were both in for quite a surprise upon seeing the mysterious she-stranger make her entrance on her horse. They stared at her in quiet awe for a few moments, as though she were the most gorgeous female hobbit they had ever seen.
"Cor blimey," Pippin softly said to himself.
It was then that they heard a thud and took notice of Frodo having fainted. Rushing over to help him up, they took note of what Frodo had said about claiming to have seen the most beautiful lady of Middle-Earth, and they looked at each other with a smirk.
"Ah, Frodo's in love. How typical," said Merry.
When they learned from the she-stranger that she was only half-hobbit and half-wizard, they were both duly impressed.
"A half-hobbit, half-wizard?" asked Merry. "Huh! That could be very handy."
"Yes, perhaps you could help us get our vegetables a little easier," Pippin suggested.
Merry lightly slugged Pippin in the upper arm, telling him to be quiet.
After helping bring Angel back to the Shire, they followed her into Frodo's home and peeked in from the doorway to watch Angel experiment with a smoking pipe. Seeing her make the smoke ash spread onto Frodo's face made them laugh to themselves, finding how naive but fun she could be. Hearing the front door click and swing open, they looked to see Gandalf the While and Bilbo arrive. How good it was to see them again, particularly Gandalf after their marvelous adventure.
As they watched Bilbo about to give a kiss on Angel's hand, a hint of jealously overcame the two, for they wanted to see themselves give her a lovely kiss on the hand. But their minds had changed as soon as they received quite a surprise when she retracted her hand away from him and an argument arose between Sam and Frodo.
Their look of surprise turned to shock the moment Angel revealed what was underneath those gloves of hers. Quickly moving back toward the wall at the sight of her metal hands and arms, Pippin asked, "What in blazes is that?!"
"Please don't hurt us!" Merry yelled, shielding his face with an arm.
But later, they came to find that the hobbit/wizard wasn't going to harm them at all. As they relaxed themselves, they noticed how Frodo didn't react with fear at all and went over to get a closer look at her arms.
Merry initially resisted wanting to feel her arms, thinking that perhaps coming in contact with her could get on him, but after curiously placing both hands on her right arm, he found that it did nothing to him. Relieved, he asked her, "How exactly did you end up like this?"

"Hello Frodo. It's so good to see you again. I see you're all rested up." Gandalf spoke with a warm smile as he greeted the small hobbit before adding another warm hello to Sam, Merry, and Pippin as well.
"I see you have company." He commented when he noticed Angel. Though he had a sneaky suspicion who this young half wizard half hobbit was, he did not bring it up. After all wizards were quite secretive creatures most of the time and kept a lot of information to themselves rather than sharing it with others unless it was absolutely necessary.
He smirked a little when Bilbo had come to the quick absumption that the young woman was none other than Frodo's girlfriend and a small chuckle escaped him at Frodo's embarrassed reaction.
A look of silent suspicion crossed his face when the young woman refused to follow the act of courtesy in allowing Bilbo to remove the glove off her right hand and kiss it making him even more sure that this was the cursed princess.
His suspicions turned true when Frodo mentioned he needed his help in reclaiming the princess' homeland from her evil twin sister who had dethroned her and took it over sending her off into exile.
"You are not the only one who is been heard of, for I also know quite a bit about you as well but plain old Gandalf will do fine." The old wizard told Angel kindly.
"The elf you are referring to is Legolas Greenleaf." Gandalf reminded Frodo when Frodo recalled he could not remember the name of their elven companion. "Aragorn is still in Gondor and I believe you are in luck for last time I checked Legolas and Gimli were visting him and Arwen along with Elrond to celebrate their good news." He added.
"No need to react so superstitiously Samwise Gamgee, she will not hurt you." He told Sam when the hobbit freaked out at the sight of Angel's hands. "Now then. If we are to be off, we must leave soon. Gondor is a long way from here. Sam, Merry go and pack our provisions we will need." The wizard ordered the two hobbits adding a "And don't be sneaking any meals!" to them knowing Merry's history for stealing food from old Farmer Maggot with Pippin.
"Once we meet up with Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli in Gondor we will ride for your homeland." Gandalf told Angel before following Bilbo into the kitchen.
OOC: Yay thanks Nadine =3 I will also borrow Elrond and Arwen too if that's okay =3 I'm used to playing Elrond so he shouldn't be too difficult lol.

OOC: HOORAY! Now we got more characters to use! BIC: "My sister put a curse on me!" Said the young princess over to Merry. "That is why for years, I've search for someone, anyone, who will come with me and take her down, but I can't go do it on my own." She added. The four hobbits and the half wizard/half hobbit princess listen over to Gandalf's announcement before watching the wizard heading into the kitchen to join Bilbo. "Thank the lords! I'll be back home and put an end to this curse!" Angel thought gladly. She couldn't wait to return back to her castle and meet everyone she knew back at her homeland like her servants, her people, everyone! Though she was happy the search was now over, taking down her twin sister might be a bit of a huge trick to do since knowing that by defeating her sibling, it was gonna be the only way the curse could be lifted. "Guess we better start packing, let's get started!" Sam says to Merry and Pippin, leaving Frodo again with Angel. But not so far away so the three hobbits started finding what was needed to take on their mission, like food to eat, water to drink, and even clothing to keep warm. Angel put her gloves back on and fixed her sleeves neatly. "Looks like this is the part where we go our separate ways and bid farewell." She handed out her hand over to Frodo for a handshake to say bye. "Goodbye Baggins!" "Goodbye?" Frodo didn't accepted the handshake, he just look with a confusing nearly sad face. Would this really be the last time he would ever see her? They had only just met for one day. It couldn't be possible to meet and leave so quickly. Judging from his expression, it made Angel look a little bit confused herself. "Well yes...isn't your friend Gandalf going to take me to Gondor to meet up with those acquaintances you two were speaking of?" She asks. "Ohh!" Frodo changed from sad confusion to a little happy relief. "You must of misunderstood when he said we; I'm going with you!" He explained to her better. Sam who was listening not very far from the two of them goes back to the them before Angel can even say what she was going to say. "Now hang on; if Mr. Frodo is going anywhere, then I'm coming too!" "I can't imagine why!" Angel says to Sam. After knowing them for just only the same day, she can sensed that the two hobbits had a deep close friendship. And for that, she wouldn't be the judge of character on it. "But Sam, what about your family? You have a wife and children!" Frodo reminded him. "It's okay, Rosie will understand!" Sam said, knowing his love ones would be fine with it. "Then it's settle; you'll need me--US! I mean us to come with you! And we won't be taking no for an answer!" Frodo says, trying to become serious about it. "This hobbit speaks with truth, and yet....out of the goodness from his heart!" Angel begin to wonder, almost a little bit lost in thought. There must of been more to Frodo than she had picture, but how on earth could she turn down someone as thoughtful, nice and kind as him? "How can I say no?" She answered smiling. "I'd hug you if I can, but that would be very un-royal of me!" "Then what's stopping you?" Frodo says, opening his arms out. "Oh thank you Baggins, thank you!" Mistaking it so for an open free hug, Angel wrapped her arms around him for an embrace. Frodo froze from that same spot. Was this all a dream? Was the princess really hugging him to show how thankful she was of him? The hobbit didn't know what to do. The only thing he did felt was his face burning a flash of bright red again. Angel release from the hug. She gaspe, looking at Frodo's reaction. "Oh I'm sorry! I should of ask first. I didn't mean to make you feel embarrassed!" "I don't think that's embarrassment!" Says Sam, trying hard in his will not to grin at what he just saw happened. It was starting to become very awkward on the princess. "Ohh....I....I better go check on my horse!" She says and heads to the door. Once she was gone outside, the sound of the door closing finally snap Frodo awake. His back slumped and he let out a relieving romantic like sigh. "I know that look on your face!" Sam said, now already grinning. "What look?" Frodo asks, who hadn't pay attention until Sam began to bring it up. "You're sweet on the princess!" He told him, meaning that Frodo had develop a crush on Angel. And it was no lie because he saw it. "What? No! I'd--I'm only trying to help!" Frodo denied as he stood up straight.

"There are many things, hobbits are quite great at, but lying is not one of them, Frodo. It's quite obvious you have a lot of affection for her but for the sake of our mission I highly suggest you put your feelings aside until we finish our mission." Gandalf advised after walking out of the kitchen carrying a small glass cup of red wine taking a sip from it.
Once the hobbits had finished preparing their provisions for the trip, they set out stopping briefly at Sam's home so he could let his wife and children what was going on and say a temporary goodbye to them.
By nightfall they managed to reach the Prancing Pony Inn, stopping there for the night to be well fed and rested for the long ride tomorrow morning at dawn.
Before going inside, Gandalf cautioned Angel to keep her identity secret, in order to avoid drawing any unnecessary attention to herself as well as the rest of the group.
