Sam broke into a huge grin at the words "surprise party." One like Hobbiton hadn't seen in years, likely--when Mr. Bilbo did something, he didn't do it halfway. And when it was for Frodo, it was sure to be extraordinary!

"First, I will need two young hobbits to help with local preparations here in Hobbiton. Samwise Gamgee and Cami Goodchild, if you two can stop with your bickering long enough to cooperate, I would like you to do that."

"Yes, Uncle Bilbo, we promise!" Sam said in unison with Cami, both of them looking innocently at Bilbo. They gave each other a distasteful look, then grinned. Sam stuck his tongue out at Cami, who glared at him with all the dignity of a twelve-year-old being teased by an eleven-year-old. But neither of them could help laughing a little bit, and Sam was a comical sight, bouncing a little with his laughter, his tongue sticking out.
Finally, Sam regained control of himself and leaned over to Elanor Greenthumb, who was his age--
not older. "You hear that, Elanor? A party!..."
