Your wish is granted.
Frodo dies in Shelob's Lair, but not before imparting to Shelob his dying wish - for her to take up his mantel and bring the Ring to the Cracks of Doom. After hearing this unusually altruistic request, Shelob decides to give it a go and fulfils Frodo's quest. Unfortunately, the Eagles had a very hard time carrying her out of Mordor - they dropped her several times - and everybody threw rocks at her when she came to Gondor. Infuriated, our heroine scuttled back to her lair, from which she launched her reign of terror that destroyed most of the west of Middle Earth.
I wish that Treebeard had joined the fellowship in Rivendell.
