Bilbo rushes into the house where he finds Gandalf staring at a ring...
"Gandalf!! Gandalf!! You gotta come quick, uncle Bilbo's disappeared and Mom is worried sick!! She's afraid he might be smoking pipe weed again!! You know how he can't control himself!"
Gandalf looks at Bilbo and then back at the ring...
"Frodo, do you remember when your mother took uncle Bilbo in and gave him the money to open his bookstore? All she asked is that he look after you and help keep you out of trouble. Well, I'm afraid, dear boy, that trouble has found us!"
Biblo stares wide-eyed at Gandalf...
"Gandalf, do you mean???"
"Yes Frodo, your sister is going to be moving in with us."
"But Gandalf, I don't have a sister? My Mom said I don't have any brothers or sisters!!!!"(Frodo begins to look questioningly at Gandalf)
"Frodo, my boy... the woman that has raised you is not your birth mother. This ring belonged to your real mother. You should have it now. You are a young man now and it's time you know the truth."
Frodo begins crying uncontrollably and hugs Gandalf.
"Gandalf!!!<sniff,sniff> Gandalf, why me?? Why wasn't I told? Doesn't my mother love me??"<sniff>
"She loved you more than you will know boy, and now, you need to carry out her last wishes. She wants you to take this ring and throw it into the volcano of Mount Doom. We must set out tonight, quickly, I will travel with you."
Frodo stops sobbing long enough to stare at Gandalf with a "deer in the headlights" expression of total disbelief.
"But Gandalf, the Hobbit's Harvest dance is this weekend!!!!!! Brandy Berry said she'd go with me!! She's the hottest girl in school Gandalf, everybody is already talking about how lucky I am!! I love her Gandalf, I'll not go!!! It's not fair, not fair!"
<Door flings open to reveal the outline of a young, shapely female hobbit>
"Frodo.... Frodo Baggins... What, don't you recognize me? It's me, Shanna Baggins,
your sister."<Shanna Baggins pulls a pipe to her mouth, inhales deeply and blows
a smoke ring that changes into the shape of a large stein before evaporating>
Frodo stares at Shanna, mouth agape.
"uhhhhhhhhhh.... Shanna?? Uhhh.... You're too young to be smoking pipe weed. Mom'll never allow that in this house. You're gonna get us both in alot of trouble if she smells it!!"
Shanna laughs loudly
"Oh yeah?!?! What's she gonna do about it? And you can forget about going to the dance with that bitch, Brandy. We're having a sleep-over instead that night, and I told her you could get us all the beer we can drink. If you don't come thru, she'll never speak to you again!"
Frodo stares in shock at Shanna and turns to Gandalf
"Gandalf!! Gandalf!!! Whatta I do??????"
