Start of recap...

The Hobbits are also setting up for Bilbo’s big party, putting up banners and ribbons and tents.

And, yes, no doubt to others, our ways seem quaint. But today of all days, it is brought home to me: It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life.

A big banner wishing Bilbo a Happy Birthday is set up.

There is another knock at the door and Bilbo sags in his chair, slightly annoyed.

Bilbo: Frodo, the door!

Bilbo listens a moment and there is no noise, then there is more knocking at the door again

"Sticklebacks. Where is that boy? Frodo!"

Frodo sits beneath a tree, reading a book. Suddenly, he hears to people singing and looks up.

He smiles as he understands who they are. Gandalf and Calen at his side drives his carriage through the fields while they sing.

End of recap...

Third person pov...

Gandalf and Calen: (humming and singing)
Down from the door where it began And I must follow if I can The road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began Now far ahead the road has gone And I must follow if I can.

Frodo runs towards the grassy rode and comes to a halt, crossing his arms.

Frodo: You’re late.

Gandalf stops the carriage. His face can barely be seen under his big, pointed floppy hat. He slowly turns to look at Frodo.

Calen who was next to the wizard giggles quietly at Frodos face.

Gandalf: A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

He looks at Frodo with a strict look that softens until they both laugh. Frodo jumps onto the carriage and into Gandalf’s arms

Frodo: It’s wonderful to see you, Gandalf!

Gandalf: You didn’t think I’d miss your Uncle Bilbo’s birthday

"hey dont forget me Frodo" cried the elf (I almost write Elfling by accident) smiling as Frodo gave the Elf a surprised look before hugging her as well.

"Calen I did think you would be travelling with Gandalf" asked Frodo as he sat with them on the carriage.

"well he actually picked me up from Rivendell for me to be here" she said smiling at the Wizard.

"couldn't of you just teleported" Frodo asked Confused, the Elf smiled at the Hobbit and ruffled his curly hair.

"it takes alot of my power for me to teleport somewhere far and I thought it would be fun to keep Mithrandir company" she said grinning devilishly

Gandalf: So, how is the old rascal? I hear its going to be a party of special magnificence.

Frodo: You know Bilbo. He’s got the whole place in an uproar.
