ooc: If I get this wrong please correct me an I will edit this post::

Child thought for a moment and then decided to tell Rose the whole truth. "If we manage to resue the hobbits there is one more challenge we must face. The hobbits will be going in two seperate directions. Some will decide to dwell in the water, perserving thier lore and heritage and become what we know as hobbrim. The rest will be taken to the Anduin in the early Third Age and forget thier past troubles.

Kali will stay with his oun kind. You, Daisy and I will have the choice of those two paths or the choice of going back to our own time."

"That doesn't seem too bad." Said Rose. "I mean we're gonna go home." But Child was shaking her head.
"It's not that simple for me."
"But don't you want to see the Shire again? The rolling hills, the forests, the streams."
"The Shire is not as welcoming to me. I swore I'd never return there. And when I was with Maura..." She paused and then started again. "Right now I'm not sure what I'm going to decide. But you have a choice too. Whether we go the same way or not we are free to choose. Think hard. But don't let it trouble you yet. We still have time."

Rose went silently to her room remembering her days in the Shire.
