I don't own Merry or any of the characters from LOTR. I also don't own
the song. It's called Put That On Everything, and it's by Brandy.
I do, however, own the character of Azaelia Smallburrows of Sandydowns.
(Usually known as Azaelia in the story) Thanks! Also, please review
this. It's only my second songfic and I'd really like to know if it's
any good! This story takes place pre-FOTR.

A Merry fanfiction by Lisa
--------------------------

If you're looking to find
A love that will stand
Till the end of time
Baby relax your mind my love is here
I'll do anything I swear
I'd take the pain and the hurt
You won't know it's there
Your wants would be nothing

Merry was sitting at a table at the party. His friends Frodo, Pippin,
and Sam all sat around him, talking merrily and drinking. Merry
pretended to be involved, but he couldn't stop thinking about her.
Azaelia Smallburrows of Sandydowns. She was the most beautiful hobbit
he'd ever seen, and in the few months that he'd known her, he'd fallen
in love with her.

I will pull a star
Out of the sky for you
Yes I would
To the edge of the earth
I'll go to see you
Yes it's true
If you go anywhere
And I'm not there
Just think on thoughts of love
And I'll appear

(repeat chorus)

Before I dream
I lay and think of you every night
Honest to god
I'm telling you the truth
I wish you could see
How much your presence means to me
You would love me so much
More each day

The only problem with him loving her, was that she didn't trust him
to stick around. All hobbits loved to party, so it wasn't that-well,
not entirely. Merry was known for his playful personality. Azaelia was
afraid that would include playing with her heart. And with good
reason. She had agreed to be with him once-and he'd betrayed
her. It wasn't something he'd tried to do. He'd had a few too
many drinks one night and she found him kissing another girl
at a party. He'd apologized a million times, he was honestly
sorry, but it didn't help. He knew that he would do anything for her,
do anything to prove that he'd stick around. He just had to figure out
what to do to show her that. As he glanced around, sighing, he saw her.
She danced her way over towards their table.

I'll walk for you
Through the desert heat
I'll climb the mountain's highest peak
I'll swim forever in the deepest sea
Just for you this song I sing
For all the love and joy you bring
For you I'll try
To do the impossible things

As she approached them, Merry tried to speak but couldn't. His voice
was caught in his throat. He quickly took another drink of his ale.
"Hi...Azaelia.." his voice came out this time, but it was quiet, and
nothing like his usual joyful voice. It was...scared. He was scared.
He didn't want to be rejected by her...not again.
"Hi, Merry." she shot her beautiful, warm smile at him. It was the
smile that had done wonders for him. No matter how he felt, that smile
could always make him feel like nothing would ever be wrong in all of
Middle Earth.

(Repeat chorus)

I'll walk for you
Through the desert heat
I'll climb the mountain's highest peak
I'll swim forever in the deepest sea
Just for you this song I sing
For you I'll try
To do the impossible

"Well..I should be going...it was nice seeing you again." she said,
smiling as she moved back out onto the dance floor. Merry swallowed
back tears as she walked away.
"Azaelia...come back..." he said softly as he watched her walk away.
"I'll do anything."
