I stopped in the middle of running on my wheel when I heard someone gingerly walk down the stairs. My view of everything was almost entirely pitch black. I then hear the landing of a set of feet of which walked in the away direction from me. Then the kitchen lights turned on. Every fixture and item in the kitchen was a dark hazy silhouette -- which all melded together from my vantage point. The person was a silhouette too but moved. It looked like man because he looked like one of the tall ones and had a round back-of the-head. The lit-up space in the room was a much lighter shade of gray. He opened the refrigerator, stuck a hand in, brought it to his mouth, then I heard him chewing. He repeated this sequence of actions three times. He closed the refrigerator, turned off the light then tiptoed back upstairs. I then went to my food bowl and began stuffing my facial cheeks.

"Claire!" the tall female said. "What did you do? You ruined the Daddy Stew!" "But moozie, I didn't mean to," Claire whimpered sheepishly. "It already had a hole in it when I got here. So, um, um, it was already runed." "Now don't lie to me Claire," the tall female said sternly. "Are you lying to me?"

Claire paused for a second. "Un . . . uh." She sounded unsure but then conceded at last. "Yeah." "Claire. You lied to me," the tall female chided. "Now go upstairs. You can't have friends over for a week." "But moozie! Nofe-air! I'm -- Claire abruptly stopped and slowly walked back up the stairs. "Nofe-air," she muttered in a low volume to herself.

Awesome! I love this story. It is so cool to read a fanfic from Frodo's POV.
