As I sat at home with piles of used tissues around me from my cold and I was trying to think up and Merry/Pippin story to amuse my self with and my own situation seamed so M/Pish I just had to use it.
So apart from that fact that Andy and me crashed Race's car and jumped into the sea and aren't Merry and Pippin the story is mostly the same.
**************************************
"Run Pippin!"
Pippin struggled to keep up with his cousin, he couldn't breath and tears stung his eyes.
How could they have been so stupid? To crash Merry's fathers best cart into the ditch.
And they'd only meant to borrow it, they'd give it back Merry had said, but then they where having so much fun and Pippin had dared Merry to make it go faster and then….
So they where running and Pippin wasn't quite sure where.
"Merry" he gasped out catching hold of his cousin's arm and pulling "please Merry stop I can't run anymore"
Merry slowed down and Pippin let go of him, gasping in breath and holding his hand against his heart, blood pounded in his ears and his heart was beating a thousand miles a minuet.
"Hurry up Pippin, we can't wait around" Merry panted looking around nervously, Pippin wondered if anyone had found the cart yet or where they running from ghosts of Merry's mind.
"Merry where are we going?"
"Brandwine Bridge" Merry said distractedly, Pippin had no time to think on this before Merry had grabbed his hand and pulled them on along the road.
******************************************
When they reached the bridge Merry pulled him self up on to the stone wall and then held a hand out for Pippin, the little Took looked around wondering what they could be doing here and then excepted Merry's hand. He was pulled up on to the stone wall and Merry wrapped an arm around his waist as Pippin peered over the edge to look at the deep murky water.
"What are we doing up here?"
"We're going to jump"
Pippin almost fell off the wall; he looked at Merry in disbelief
"But we'll be killed, like Frodo parents"
"We won't die Pippin, I'll make sure"
Pippin looked back down at the water and shivered.
"I'm frightened" he whispered huddling into Merry's arms, Merry kissed his forehead.
"I'll protect you," he said firmly and, taking Pippin's hand in his, jumped.
*************************
Merry surfaced first, spitting water and looking around for Pippin.
He couldn't see him anywhere.
**********************************
Pippin swim and the water was everywhere, choking him, strangling him, dragging him down.
He tried calling out to Merry but couldn't and the water was getting higher.
The murky waters closed over his head and Pippin knew no more.
*****************************************
Yep another long chaptered story from me.
