Night had fallen, the guests had arrived, everyone was ready to get the party started.

There was music, lights, dancing, food, laughter, hobbit children running around with sparklers that Gandalf had brought.

Everything was going great. But little did anyone know that someone was watching the party and planning something mischievious from the shadows.

She snuck around the back and towards the spot where Gandalf had left his fireworks. She was about to search through them when two hobbits suddenly appeared.

She quickly duck into some bushes and hid as the two walked towards the fireworks.

"I don't know Merry. We got in pretty big trouble last time we messed with Gandalf's fireworks."

"Come on Pip! Where's your sense of fun?"

"I left it with Esmerelda."

"Is that why she and Frodo are dancing on the tables?"

"Nah, for her that's normal. I'm not sure about Frodo."

"Well, are we gonna do this or not?"

"Hmm..." Pippin thought about it.
"We have more guests here than we did last time don't we?"

"Yes." Merry replied slowly.
"Your point Pippin?"

"So that means there's gonna be more dishes."

"Oh. Right."

Merry and Pippin quickly turned around and walked away from the fireworks.

"Not worth it." Merry declared.

"Nope." Pippin agreed.

After they had left the person who had been hiding smiled.

She ran towards the cart and shifted through the fireworks until she found the one she wanted.

Perfect

Without a sound she ran off with the firework.

------------------------------------------------------

"ARE YOU SURE THIS ISN'T A LITTLE OVER THE TOP ?" Primrose asked nervously.

"WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?" the hobbit asked.

"WELL FOR ONE THING THE MUSIC IS REALLY LOUD!"

"NONSENSE! IT'S PERFECTLY FINE!"

"THAN WHY IS THE GROUND VIBRATING?"

"WE MIGHT BE HAVING AN EARTHQUAKE!"

"AN EARTHQUAKE? ARE YOU SERIOUS?"

"YOU NEVER KNOW PRIMROSE!"

"OK FORGET IT! CAN WE JUST TURN THE MUSIC DOWN?"

Bilbo had dedcided to hook up his ipod to huge speakers which were almost as tall as Gandalf. People were trying hard not to show how painful the music was but it was becoming unbearable.

Unless you happened to be Merry, Pippin, Frodo, and Esmerelda. They were sitting around as if there was no music which was causing cups full of punch to bounce off the tables and onto the grass.

The three elves attending the party were the worst off. Well, except Melui. Since she was usually home the most she had grown used to elaberate parties put on by her father. She learned how to get used to loud music.

The same couldn't be said for Legolas and Losider. Losider had his hands clamped firmly over his ears and fought to block the noise. Meanwhile Legolas was banging his head against a nearby tree.

"OH MY VALAR! IN ILLUVATAR'S NAME MAKE IT STOP!"

Thankfully for them Primrose had convinced Bilbo to turn the music down. As soon as he did everyone sighed in relief. Losider took his hands off of his ears and Legolas slumped to the ground, still facing the tree.

"Oh Valar thank you." Legolas sighed in relief.

Melui looked at her brother in concern.

"Legolas? Are you alright? You were banging your head against that tree for almost 15 minuets."

"I'm fine Melui." Legolas stood up and faced them and to both of their surprise there wasn't a single scratch on him.

"How in the world..." Losider started and was interrupted by Melui.

"Don't ask. I have no idea how he does it."

"Alright, I am off to actually enjoy myself."

Legolas walked off leaving the two elves standing in silence.

------------------------------------------------------

"Why's the music so low?" Esmerelda asked.

"Some people were complaining."
Frodo said taking a sip of his punch.

"About what? The music was perfectly fine." Pippin said.

"No it wasn't!" Sam protested. "It caused a sinkhole in the middle of Farmer Maggot's cornfield!"

"Whatever." Pippin rolled his eyes.

Esmerelda nudged Merry.

"You've been quiet Mer-Mer. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. And don't call me "Mer-Mer."

"Whatever Mers. I know something's bothering you."

"It's none of your business!"

"Whoa! Merry calm down!" Pippin exclaimed.

"What's going on Merry?" Frodo asked.

"You can tell us." Sam said.

"Really guys. It's nothing."

"Maybe it's a certain dwarf who's caught your eye?" Pippin asked raising an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah. A dwarf who has arrived recently." Frodo gave Merry sly smile.

"A very nice dwarf." Sam added.

"Gimli?" Esmerelda asked in confusion.

"GIMLI?" Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin exclaimed at once.

"We mean Vili! Not Gimli!" Pippin shouted.

"What does Vili have to do with anything?" Esmerelda asked in confusion.

"Merry was making goo-goo eyes at Vili earlier." Frodo said painly.

"I was not!" Merry shouted.

"Yes you were!"

"Aw... Mer-Mer has a crush." Esmerelda laughed as Merry's face turned red and he shouted something that made absolutely no since whatsoever.

"Dkeeornbrdisooakenrucyshqlxojebenaksanwoeofusvo!!!"

The other three hobbits glanced at each other nervously while Merry stomped off mumbling under his breath.

"Aw... I love romance." Esmerelda said as she tossed a cookie into her mouth. "It's so sweet."

------------------------------------------------------

She worked quietly in the dark away from the party. She set the firework up exactly how she had planned it earlier.

This is going to be awesome

She stepped back and admired her work. This would be a party to remember.

All she had to do was wait for the right moment.

------------------------------------------------------
The party has started! But things are about to heat up.
