The lush, rolling green hills sparkled under the sunshine, the gentle whisper of the wind through the trees was a comforting melody, and the hobbits carried on with their blissfully uncomplicated lives. However, one day, something broke the peaceful monotony - an invitation. An invitation from Bilbo Baggins himself for a gathering at Bag End.

Once upon a time, the very same Giant Peach that was once home to James and his insect friends, had returned. It had been years since James had last seen his old home, now a famous landmark in the heart of New York City. As James walked up to the peach, he noticed a soft luminescence emanating from it. Suddenly, a small window appeared on the peach, just as it had years ago. Unable to resist, James climbed into the familiar hollow.
