Many Happy Returns  by Grey Wonderer 6 Review(s)

Oh, my that was soooo sweet!! I'm so sorry for not finishing this up sooner--I had started it, but got distracted.

All I can say, is it's a good thing I only have my dog here, because I was sitting here laughing my butt off! You wrote the dance "contest" beautifully! I felt like I was one of the observers! Watching Pippin expertly twirl Estella above his head like a baton while a crowd of hobbits looked on reminded me of one thing: Saturday Night Hobbits!! All Pippin needed was a white polyester waist coat and his curls slicked back... :-)

Author Reply: LOL I never thought of that! Pip in the white suit, now there's something to think about.............. oh, sorry distracted for a minute.
I am so glad that you enjoyed this, but how did your dog like it?
Hope you were distracted by something good, like a new story that you are writing or more chapters of Roses?

What a great description of the dance! I was laughing the entire time. Luckely this time it wasn't only Pippin who made a mess of things :)

Author Reply: Glad that it made you laugh. Pippin had plenty of help this time.

I loved this chapter, I was laughing throughout. I loved the dance contest between Pippin and Estella and poor Fordo being crushed under them all. Great story.

Author Reply: Thank you. I have one last chapter to post and then I think I will be finished with this one. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

Now this was a hoot! I love it! But Merry is really going to have to take Estella and Pippin both in hand and make them realize they have to share him, poor guy. And Frodo did accomplish what he set out to do, even if he did get a bit squashed!

Author Reply: It didn't work out like Frodo had hoped, but then match-making can be dangerous. Yes, Merry has his work cut out for him doesn't he. Let's just hope he gets to finish healing up before he has to face this task.

That was great! I loved the 'dance challenge'!


I wasn't at all sure who was going to come out the victor in that situation. I especially liked the descriptions of Pip and Estella as they were trying to list all their bad points and ended up with good things instead-

This is such a great story, and I can't wait to see if Pip finally gets to dance with Diamond:)

Author Reply: Thank you! Glad the dancing came off well because I had no clue how to dance the Springle-ring! That was why I went with different variations for everyone. Figured one of them had to be right! LOL
Pip and Estella want to hate each other but they do seem to be having trouble doing it.
Funny, but when this one started, Diamond was no where in the planning. She just turned up and became a big part of the story. It might help me in my writing if I knew what I was doing! The strangest things happen to my little stories. Rather like Pip and Estella's dance, twists and turns and spinning in a circle.

Better, but you're still cruel!! An absolute riot, with the two of them trying to out-do or kill each other.

Author Reply: You are a regular slave-drive Miss Took! LOl Don't worry, you won't have to wait much longer. The next chapter just needs a bit of correction and then it will be up and running.
I am glad that you enjoyed my little dance-off. I could just see them spinning out of control. I suspect that Frodo may decide to give up on match-making after this. LOL
