Bilbo Baggins checked his watch dusted off his waistcoat, straightened his shiny buttons and surveyed the party field. Looking at the Party tree twinkling with lights and the table heaving under the weight of his, and Frodo's enormous Birthday Cake he thought to himself: this shall certainly be the party to end all parties.

Satisfied that everything was in place, and that after tonight he would be forever renowned as the 'Party King' of the Shire he trotted to the gate awaiting the arrival of the first guests...



Let's Party!!!!!!!!!

If anyone wants to add a song to the Hobbit Pary Playlist, let me know.


"Cloud, my love, come ON!" Eruraina cried, going as fast as she could, bare feet padding against the grass, while pulling her less excited husband along towards the party grounds.
"I thought it was in season to be fashionably late," Cloud chuckled, blue eyes shinning.
"Not for us! I shall not miss a single thing at this party!" Eruraina said again. Finally the arrived at the party grounds.
"Look, there's not really anyone here yet," Cloud pointed out.
"BILBO! FRODO!!! Happy Birthday!" Eruraina called out at the top of her lungs, before running over to the stage to get the band going, and then to the table of food to investigate all that had been brought. "Ooooo it all looks so good! I shall have to try a bit of everything!"

"First to arrive, last to leave, right?" Ari asked, dragging Pippin alongside her. He laughed merrily. "Of course!" he said. "Besides, that means we get the best pick of the food and drinks if we get there first!" He smirked at her. "But you're just excited Alanna promised you two dances with Frodo, aren't you?

Ari blushed, looking down and adjusting her scarf--she and Pippin had decided to wear matching scarves for the occasion. "Maybe," she said with a grin before looking up and giving Pippin a kiss on the cheek. "But I still love you too! Come on!"

When they arrived, Ari took an extra minute to make sure she looked all right, adjusting the skirt of her blue Hobbit-style dress carefully. Then, taking the arm Pippin offered her, they neared the party grounds.

"Happy birthday!" they called to Frodo and Bilbo, waving delightedly. Pippin ran off to go and fetch drinks, while Ari noticed that they were not the first ones there, as she had anticipated. A girl with fiery red hair stood gazing at the banquet of food. Ari recognized her as Eruraina and walked over to her, grinning. "Hey! Glad you could make it!"

Amara and Aragorn walked along the dirt path through the beautiful and lush Shire, arm-in-arm. They were the best of friends, after having been through so much together; so it was only right to have him as her date to Bilbo and Frodo's birthday party. She smiled at all of the Hobbits that were running around and felt a pair of eyes on her. She looked up and saw Aragorn smirking at her a bit. She laughed and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you giving me that face, King of Gondor?" She asked teasingly and then playfully nudged him. "I know who you are looking forward to seeing tonight." He joked and then she laughed, shaking her head. "It doesn't matter... He's off limits." She said softly and then looked ahead.

Of course, they were talking about Legolas.

Making it to the large party tree, Amara knew that they were in the right place; seeing the large congratulatory banner and cakes. She giggled a bit, as she watched her friends Arabella and Eruraina walk in first with their dates. "HELLO THERE!" She yelled happily to her friends and waved to them, before seeing Frodo and Bilbo. She hurried over to them and gave them both big hugs. "Happy birthday, my friends!" She said happily.

Lithoniel walked arm in arm with Alex down the path towards the party. She could already hear the band playing music and laughter coming from the party grounds. "They have a band playing?" Alex asked her. "Yes, of course! There's a band so there can be dancing!" She replied with a laugh. "Dancing? Really?" he replied, less than enthused. "Oh, there will be dancing Mr. O'Loughlin! Lots of dancing! Along with lots of food." she replied. He smiled down at her, her excitement rubbing off on him slightly. When they arrived at the grounds she gave a friendly wave to Amara and wished Bilbo and Frodo a happy birthday as she made her way towards the food table. "Oh, look at how they decorated the tree! And there's Eruraina and Arabella! Hey, how are y'all doing?!" She called out as she made her way towards them and the food table, pulling Alex along with her.

Noah's hand pulled Estelio back softly. She was heavily excited about the celebration, and couldn't wait to see the eleborate effort of decoration and everyone in their beautiful outfits, causing her to tug Noah foward slightly and she quickened her step in anticipation.
"What your rush, Estelio?" he asked, laughter on his lips. Estelio stopped slightly, looking back to her date. Realising her shrewd giddiness, she looked down in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry," she apologized, rubbing her forehead. "I can't wait to see everything. I've been waiting for this for for ages now." Noah's crooked smile balanced in the corner of his mouth. "I'm sorry. I came here with you. I'll retain myself. While i still can."

Walking onto the party grounds, Estelio was met with the sounds of merriment and Hobbit-style music playing from the local band upon the stage. Rows upon rows of delectable food attracted her gaze, but she decided to wait until more guests had arrived. Amara, Arabella, Eruraina, Lithoniel were gathered near the heavily lit party tree. She waved excitedly as their eyes met her arrival. Her hand almost slipped out of Noah's due to her feverishness. She looked back to him, where he was giving her a condescending look.
"You will come and find me for a dance, won't you?" he asked, brushing his fingertips against her palm. She nodded obediently.
"'Of course i will!" she answered. "But i haven't forgotten that Zimpharel allowed me one dance with Alex." She slipped her hand playfully from Noah's and continued towards the girls, her eyes speculating the wonderfull abiance of the celebration. This was sure to be party to end of parties. :-D

When she got off her horse, she wasn't quite as confident as she had been when she asked Elrond to accompany her to celebrate the birthday of both Bilbo and Frodo.
'El, I'm not too sure about this..' she said. 'Why not? And don't call me El, please.'
'Sorry,' Femke answered with a smile. 'It's just, I don't know anyone...'
'Don't worry, these people are all very nice, you'll get to know them soon enough. Look, isn't that Ari? She came with Pippin right?'
'Yes indeed! And next to her must be Eruraina.'
'See? You already know some.'
'You're right. Let's party!' she said with a smile as he offered her his arm.

Ari waved happily to Lithoniel, who was dragging along some guy that Ari didn't recognize. She tapped her foot along with the music, a lively tune she recognized from one of her Celtic CDs. "Hey!" she called to Lithoniel and Estelio, waving them over. "Isn't this fantastic?"

"Your drink, my lady," Pippin said, coming up behind her and handing her an earthenware mug. He had another identical one in his hands, which he drank from. Ari eyed the mug worriedly. "What's the legal drinking age in the Shire?" she asked.

Pippin laughed out loud. "You're fine, believe me, Ari. But I know you well enough to know that you won't drink unless you really want to, and I felt I should ease you into it, at any case. Just take a sip."

Ari did, finding that the drink was, in fact, a harmless mug of apple cider. She gave Pippin a playful shove. "Good one."

"Hello!" she called to FemElf, who she had seen but didn't really know, as she entered with Lord Elrond. "Come join us!" She looked around at her friends and laughed. "Shall we place bets on how long it takes people to get out to the dance floor? Pip and I will be the first if no one else is brave enough." She took another sip of cider and gave a wink.

"I hope I'm not too late?" asked a shy looking hobbit girl with red hair, blue eyes and sheepish smile.
"Of course not," replied Frodo as he offered her his arm, "you're just in time for the next dance!"
"Oh! Wonderful!"

A fun song started playing as Frodo and Aerli danced on the now-crowded dance floor.
When the song was over, Aerli waved over Ari who rushed over to meet the newcomer.

(is this a role playing fame thing?)

As entered the party grounds, Femke heard Ari call to her.
'Come on, let's meet them,' Elrond said with a smile.
Names and greetings were exchanged when they joined the group, but too soon people were dancing.
'Shall we?' asked Elrond.
'Well... Shouldn't we go wish Bilbo and Frodo a happy birthday first?' Femke replied a little hesitating.
But Lord Elrond immediately saw right through her. 'Why, you don't want to dance? It is a party...'
'Yes, well...' she watched Ari and Pippin swinging on the dance floor, and not far off Frodo was dancing with a girl she didn't know.
'I can't dance.' she admitted.
'Don't worry, I can.' Elrond smiled and led her to the dance floor.

The band segued from "N'il Sen La" to one that Ari recognized immediately, and she grinned. "Footloose? Really?"

Pippin grinned, finishing the rest of his ale in one gulp. "Dance with me!" he said.

Ari raised an eyebrow. "I thought we'd been over this. Despite being a theatre major who wants to focus on musical theatre, I cannot dance."

"Liar."

"Oh, you want me to prove it?"

Pippin grinned. "Yes. Besides, I want to get as many dances out of you as I can before you run away to dance with Frodo," he teased. Ari laughed, taking Pippin's hand. "There's more to you than meets the eye," she said as he led her onto the dance floor. "Who would have thought you liked dancing so much?"

As it turned out, Pippin was a great dancer, and Ari remembered more from her classes in swing and tap dancing than she thought. She laughed in delight as Pippin whirled her around, lifting her into the air and flipping her over and spinning. She had always thought that these kinds of dances, the kind that were prominent years ago, were more fun than the dancing that she knew in the 'real world.' When they finally stopped, she was flushed and breathless, but smiling. "I love dancing!" she panted. "Want to go again or get some more food?"

(For an example of what sort of dance we're doing, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUsNpfXwEy0 Pay attention to the flips and spins when the couples are dancing!)

(So sorry, but it's pretty late here, so I have to go)

'Well, you lied to me,' said Elrond kindly. 'You are not a bad dancer at all.'
'I do do quite agreee with you there, but I certainly enjoyed it!' Femke answered with a smile.
They got a drink and stood watching the other couples dancing.
Then Bilbo joined them and they talked about the party.
When he left again (propably to get some cake) Elrond looked at the sky. 'Femke, I'm sorry, but I think it's time to go. It's still some journey back to Rivendell.'
'I suppose you're right. But how about we have one more dance, and then say goodbye to everyone?'
'That seems suitable to me.'
And with a smile, they both went to the dance floor to dance their last dance.

(Ari my date is the guy on my icon picture, I'm in an Alex mood lately, lol! and theater major, awesome!)

"This is the best party I've been to in quite some time!" Lith said a little breathlessly as she and Alex left the dance floor. "And awesome moves Ari! Its a good thing we're not doing a dance competition! Then again I can totally rock the Macarena dance." she added with a laugh. Alex headed for the food table and came back with a couple mugs of cider, handing two of the mugs to Ari and Pippin and one to Lith saying 'Figured we could all use something to drink."

"We are late."

"No We're Not."

"Yes We are. We're Late."

"Lembas. We aren't late. We're Fashionably Late- it's a completely different thing" Legolas reassured his Date

All the same, they were walking in arm in arm through Hobbiton towards the party field- that is if one could describe Legolas hurrying along and Lembas, with a fistful of skirts in one hand and the other firmly clamped on his elbow, desperately trying to keep up with him as 'walking arm in arm'. As the lights of the party tree came into view they stopped to compose themselves.

"Fashionably Late is still late" She said as she watched Legolas sweep a stray strand of hair behind his pointed ear and ask: "How Do I look?"

Giving him a smile she replied: "You look lovely as ever"

"You do as.." he started to reply until he was cut off with

"Oh No! No no nonononoooo!"

"But you d..." Legolas tried again, only to see his date- eyes wide- hitch up her skirts again and run full pelt towards the party cursing wildly.

Lembas was so proud to help Bilbo, Frodo and Elenthari organise this party that to see one of the tents come crashing down randomly was one of, if not the worst thing that could happen. As she ran, leaving her bewildered Date behind her, she vented her annoyance at being late, at the tent falling down, at the fact that she was wearing a maxi dress which ultimately meant at some point she would stand on her hem and fall over... oh.

The party lights lurched before her eyes and she tumbled head over heels, landing unceremoniously on the floor outside the party entrance. Bilbo's face was all of a sudden looming above hers and he informed Lembas that she had certainly made a spectacular entrance and suggested a career in gymnastics. Unseen hands dragged Lembas to her feet and she saw Finrod leading Zimmy out of what-was-once the tent. As if driven by some un-natural force, or Gandalf deciding that this would be a hilariously convenient, the band began to play 'It's My Party and I'll Cry if I want to'. Brushing herself down she realised all the panic was for nothing, she'd made a fool of herself and left Legolas behind to boot.

"You're pouting you know?" Okay so evidently she hadn't left Legolas behind, which Lembas thought to herself was a good thing. Plus Bilbo had already organised the re-construction of the tent, and her dress miraculously hadn't got dirty from her *ahem* entrance.

Maybe things weren't going to be so bad after all.

"You really do look beautiful" Legolas told her with a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you. Do you realise, that you've got a hair loose from it's braid?" Lembas asked him, unable to hide her smirk as he put his hands to his head instantaneously.

"I'm just winding you up for being Mr Cool! And for teasing me for pouting" she told him with a Giggle.

Smiling Brightly at her Legolas offered his hand, which Lembas took gladly, and together they sought out Frodo, and Bilbo (again) in order to wish them a Happy Birthday.

(Lembas: where is the list for whose paired up with who and who free and thing like that?)

After her dance with the younger birthday boy, Aerliniel was too excited to do anything else, so she sat with Frodo as he waited for Alanna to arrive. "I hope nothing's happened to her," said Aerli who was genuinely afraid that something had happened to her friend.
"Me too!" replied Frodo.
Just then Merry came along and asked if Frodo wouldn't mind his stealing the beautiful girl sitting next to him for a dance.
"Not at all!" laughed the hobbit.
Merry offered his arm to Aerli who only said, "Well, what if I don't want to dance with you?"

Frodo and Merry exchanged surprised glances. Aerli took the arm that was still crooked, "I'm just kidding! Of course I'll dance with you, Merry!" she laughed a long melodious laugh in which the other two hobbits joined in.

Just then another song started up. One that Aerli recollected hearing from her Celtic CD's!
"Oh! I like this one!"
"Then let's get started!" laughed the energetic Merry.
"Alright!"

Their dance was not as wonderful as Ari's and Pippin's, unfortunately, but at least the young hobbits dressed in bright colors were having as much fun as ever!

"After this dance, do you want to go and try those chocolate cheesecake muffins I brought?" asked Aerli.

"Choc- chocolate cheesecake muf- muffins? I never knew there was such a thing! Yes! Let's plan on that!"
