After a while, Frodo found Elanor by the cupcakes, sneaking a third one. She trembled at the stern look on his face. Was he really going to castigate her at his birthday party? She glanced desperately in Sam's direction, but then a smile appeared on his face.

"I trust you won't be running off anymore, will you, Miss Elanor?" He inquired. Elanor flushed.

"Of- of course not, Frodo," She stammered. He smiled at her again and moved on to the other guests. Elanor sidled her way over to Sam. "You know," She said. "I'm sorry we ran away and all, but I don't regret it one single bit. I mean-" she said hastily, seeing the horrified look on his face. "I know we were very bad, but we learned so much from doing it . . . don't you think so, Sam?" She grinned. "Anyhow, what say you to a little dancing?"
