She was really happy that Bullroarer had paired her with the two young hobbits. This would give her the chance to get to know them a lot better. They talked about their families as they walked along. Daisy told them that she had four brothers and two sisters at home, all of whom she had the chance to say goodbye.
The conversation grew quiet between the three hobbits again. Then Daisy heard Autumn ask everyone why they had decided to go to Rivendell. Daisy hadn’t really thought about why she was going other than to help get food back to all of the hobbits in the Shire. She realized that she was on this trip to try and prove to her self that she was really growing up and able to take care of herself. As she tried to answer the question a snowball went flying at her. The snowball had been thrown by Emerald. Everybody was picking up the snow and throwing snowballs so Daisy picked one up and threw it at Dinodas. She hit him on the arm and he in turn threw one at her. She ducked just in time, it went by her head and hit Bullroarer.
“oh my goodness,” Daisy thought as she looked at Bullroarer sitting on his pony with a shocked face. She didn’t know if he was angry or just truly surprised, so she ran behind Gaddy and hid hoping to stay out of the limelight if Bullroarer was really mad and started yelling. After all she didn’t start the snowball fight and wanted someone else to take the blame. She also didn’t want to be the one who had to tell Bullroarer who had hit him, or that because she ducked he got hit. As she stood there, she thought about how the snowball fight had helped break the tension everyone was feeling. It also gave them a chance to laugh for a few minutes, something some of them hadn’t done in months. Daisy hoped that Bullroarer would take that into account before he started yelling at everyone.
