Birdie comes strolling back across the Pellenor Fields, after spending a lovely day in bed catching up on her sleep, then checking her e-mail, paying some bills and putzing in the garden. She was now ready for a bit more feasting and merriment at the Never-Ending Birthday Party, now that the excitement seems to have died down.

She noticed the mighty Elven vessel still tied to the riverside quay. "What's that thing still doing here? Gee, you mention one little thing from the Canon around here, and then you're stuck with it. Nice prop, though. Really adds an air of class to the place, what with all the rustic tables, ale barrels, greenery, and the other Hobbitity stuff they usually buy to decorate the place."

Birdie strolled closer to the ship. Suddenly she heard screams of raucous laughter coming from the deck. "That sounds like Sam. Boy, he hasn't laughed like that since Will Whitfoot got dusted at the Delving. 'Bout time he found his sense of humor again. I was beginning to worry about him. He was becoming soooo broody! Think I'll give him a little surprise."

Birdie morphs into her carrion crow character and flies up to the little railed platform at the top of the mast. She peers down upon the deck, where Frodo, Primrose, and Stacy are gathered around Sam. Sam seems to be the only one laughing, though.

"Hey!" yells Birdie, raising her wings and waving them over her head. "I'm in the crow's nest! Get it? 'CROW'S NEST'?"

Sam look up wide-eyed and gasping. Then he immediately bursts into another fit of loud, braying laughter, rolling on the deck and kicking his heels. The others begin to wring their hands and shake their heads worriedly.

"Well, gee, Sam", says Birdie, "it wasn't that funny. More of a 'groaner', than a belly laugh. Soooo, what's so funny, everybody? C'mon, let me in on it."

Sam continues to laugh, wheezing in between. His face is turning an unhealthy shade of purple, and his eyes are bulging in an alarming way. Primrose bends down and seem to check his pulse.

"Fine!" Birdie sulks, "Don't tell me." Birdie gazes around her, enjoying the view from the top of the Elven mast.

"Hey, you can see my house from here!"
