-Madison hadn't come to visit in a while-

Arthur: - I frown a little. That's funny... Maddie usually comes to see me more often than this... Ah well, she's probably growing up moreso without me. I sigh and go back to my crossword puzzle-

-knock on the door-

Arthur: -Huh? I get up and answer it-

Madison: -Madison, now looking to be about your age and standing almost eye to eye with you, is standing there with a smile- Arthur! -hugs-

Arthur: Maddie! How good to see you! - I smile brightly and cuddle her-

Madison: I am so sorry that I have been gone the past few weeks.  But things have been crazy what with Elves and Dwarves not getting along to well

Arthur: ... Aah, There has been bickering between them?

Madison: -sigh- Always

Arthur: Well, the Elves didn't exactly give out a helping hand to the Dwarves when they needed it... come in, my dear. - I step aside-

Madison: -steps I with a smile- So how are you?  It hasn't been too boring without me has it?

Arthur: Same as they always are, Maddie. - I smile, closing the door and letting her sit in the living room, a tray of tea brought in fresh from the kitchen- It's been quieter...

Madison: I'd assume so -laughs softly- I was thinking I could take you to see How Middle Earth looks now that's it's grown so quickly

Arthur: I'd like that. - I smile-

Madison: Come on then -smiles and stands up-

Arthur: -I get up and go to her side- Lead the way, Maddie.

Madison: Watch this -smiles and whistles-

Arthur: - I watch as a large bird descends- ... My god...

Madison: -laughs at your bewildered expression-  It's how I get around

Arthur: It's bloody huge... Excuse my language.

Madison: -smiles- I don't mind. -jumps onto the eagles back with no trouble leans down and lends you a hand-

Arthur: Thanks... - I take it and climb on- ... Must say, beautiful bird...

Madison: Thanks.  They are all over Middle Earth just hidden until they are called

Arthur: Impressive indeed. - I smile-

Madison: And he's just one of the smaller ones ^^

Arthur: -I look slightly surprised-

Madison: Alright buddy take us home

-the eagle screeches and takes off-

Arthur: -I cling tightly, not used to this sort of travel at all-

Madison: -looks back- Be careful

Arthur: I'm trying!

-After we get through some major clouds everything gets clear and we are soaring calmly over Middle Earth-

Arthur: - I look over the lands- It's beautiful!

Madison: I'm glad you think so

Arthur: -I smile- Where did you choose to settle?

Madison: Hm well I tried living in one of the elven villages for a while.  Everything was so beautiful but I found the shire to be much more welcoming

Arthur: Aaah, the Shire. I take it you and Frodo are good friends?

Madison: Who?

Arthur: ... Ah, maybe you'll know Bilbo Baggins instead... he's a friend of mine also.

Madison: Oh! The Baggins! I know of them but from what I've heard Frodo and a couple of other hobbits left the shire ages ago

Arthur: On an adventure, no doubt.

Madison: Must be -has the eagle land in the fields of the shire-

Arthur: -I get off as a mass of limbs- ... I am going to take a while to get used to that...

Madison: -helps you gets steady on your feet and smiles- Is there anywhere you want to go first?

Arthur: No, I'm fine. Just show me around. - I smile-

Middle Earth: Okay How about I show you the shire first?

Arthur: Sure. - I smile-

Middle Earth: -leads you towards the center of the shire with a smile as people greet us-

Arthur: - I smile back, greeting the others-

Middle Earth: -takes you to the steps leading to the Baggins' hobbit hole- Ta Da!

Arthur: ... It's even better being here with one of my family...

Middle Earth: Mhm -smiles- I've been staying her since I last visited you

Arthur: It's a gorgeous place, I must admit.

Middle Earth: Yeah the hobbit who was leaving here was in a rush it seemed.  He sorta just walked up to be and told me to keep an eye on the place

Arthur: -I smile a little- Well, I am jealous. It's really lovely here. - I chuckle-

Middle Earth: You are welcome here whenever you want.  This is as much your home as it is mine -smiles-

Arthur: - I smile softly- I appreciate that, Maddie.

Middle Earth: You are the first to see this place -smiles-

Arthur: - I smile. That made my heart swell with pride.-

Middle Earth: You should stay for a while the hobbits are having a party tonight

Arthur: Well... I haven't got anything else planned, so why not? - I smile-

Middle Earth: Great -smiles happily- It starts after the sun sets

Arthur: Wonderful. - I smile- Shouldn't I change first though? It's a bit formal... - I gesture to my suit-

Middle Earth: If you want I might have something for you -smiles-

Arthur: If you did, I'd be grateful. - I smile-

Middle Earth: -smiles- Follow me -leads you inside-

Arthur: - I follow her-

Middle Earth:  -goes to one of the rooms searching through the closet trying to find something big enough for you-  Ah here -pulls one out-

Arthur: Ah, thank you. - I smile and take it-

Middle Earth: -heads outside to start the festival with the others-

-The music starts and the festival has begun-

Arthur: - I come outside in my new hobbit-esque attire. I smile-

Middle Earth: -sitting and clapping to he music while others dance-

Arthur: - I decide to join in with the dances, before going over to Madison and offering my hand to her- Come on...

Middle Earth: -blushes a bit and smiles taking your hand-

Arthur: - I smile and get her dancing with us-

Middle Earth: -smiles brightly and dances energetically-

Arthur: - I give as good as I get, dancing like I was young again. I twirl her about and the remaining hobbits clap and shout-

Middle Earth: -smiling and feeling happier than she ever had before that today not wanting the music to stop-

Arthur: - I dip her back as the song ends and I smile charmingly-

Middle Earth: -blushes and smiles at you and the hobbits cheer-

Arthur: -I smile, bringing her back up- I must say Maddie, you're brilliantly light on your feet.

Middle Earth: So are you. I didn't know you could dance.

Arthur: - I blush a little- There's a lot I can do, you've just never asked. - I nod to her and lead her to sit down with me-

Middle Earth: -smiles and sits close-

Arthur: -I watch on as the hobbits dance-

Middle Earth: -smiles and watches them too- I do hope you come and visit now and then

Arthur: - I smile- With parties like this, I'll definitely come to visit.

Middle Earth: -smiles- Great.  and I'll still come and visit you too wouldn't want you to get too lonely down there

Arthur: - I chuckle- It makes me happy to hear so.
