Rose Cotton's post for Rosie:

The young hobbit girl struggled to keep a grip on the watering can as she made her way to the flowerbed in front of Bag End. Slowly Rosie tipped the can and sprinkled the flowers. A wide grin spread across the
eight-year old's face as she went about her task. Daddy would be so proud of her.

While this thought crossed her mind, she had heard someone coming up the road. As the person had come over the ridgem Rosie could scarcely believe her eyes. Was that an elf? She watched in awe as the tall figure passed through the gate and up to the burrow, knocking at her front door.

Now Rosie was sure this was an elf. She looked exactly like the ones in her daddy's stories. The elf bent low and spoke to her in a kindly voice.

"Hello. Is your mother inside?"

"Who are you?" asked Rosie curiously.

"I am Piosenniel. My friends call me Pio. Is your mother home?"

Rosie gestured excitedly for Pio to follow her into the house.

Arwen Baggin's post:

"Momma! Frodo and Pippin are throwing rocks at the neighbor’s dog!" Elanor Gamgee yelled in through the open window of Bag End.

Rose Gamgee sighed, and looked out into the sunlight. "Elanor dear, just tell them to come inside. Hurry now. We don’t want them in trouble again." Rose shook her head and went back to her chair.

Elanor skipped over to where her brother's were, and almost froze when she saw her little sister Rosie greeting a very tall person, and letting her into their house. "Rosie! What are you doing?"

The stranger and her sister both looked at her, and Rosie yelled, "Elanor! Don’t be so mean to our guest!" Rosie waddled in her bright yellow dress over to her sister. "She’s an Elf! See! I’ve never seen a hobbit that big! She wants to see Mommy."

Elanor rubbed her eyes, and grabbed her sister’s hand. ‘An Elf! Here at Bag End!’ They walked forward, and Elanor curtsied to her guest. "Welcome to Bag End. I am Elanor. This is my sister, Rosie. Welcome, Welcome. Come, step inside."

The Elf chuckled in a friendly manner, and stepped ahead of them. She waited for the hobbit girls, and Elanor opened the door to their home.
