After their long journey to Mt.Doom, the hobbits and Gandalf enjoy a nice
game of Scrabble over a cup of Joe.
"Cookie" says Frodo as he places down his tiles. I
"That would be good right now." Pippin exclaims as he takes a bite of a donut.
"That's a double word bonus Mr.Frodo." Sam informs him.
"So that's 24 points for you." Gandalf says as he writes it down on the score sheet. Frodo then draws six more letters from the bag. Merry then places the word booger on the board with Pippin snickering in the background.
"That's 3 points Merry" Pippin says as he counts on his fingers.
"You mean 9" Sam laughs. Gandalf then scribbles the score on the pad and says, "Frodo is in the lead." With a smile, Frodo says, "Of course I am. I am the best scrabble player in the Shire. Everyone laughed except Gandalf who mudded under his breath and looks away. As Merry draws his tiles, Pippin secretly pulls the letter J from his sleeve.
"Your turn Pip." Says Merry. He then plays the word Toejam on the letter E from Cookie. Merry and Pippin Howl with laughter. Just when Sam started counting up the score, Gandalf yells, "You fool of a Took! There is only one J in the bag and I have it!" slightly embarrassed, Pippin removes the word jam with only toe left.
"Now you have three points Pip." Merry teases. Sam then looks at his letters carefully and plays the word slurred.
"That's a good word my friend. You're catching up with Gandalf." Frodo says to Sam.
"That's a double word bonus!" Sam exclaims happily as he counts up his score.
"Sixteen." He tells Gandalf. Slightly annoyed, Gandalf writes the score down.
"Darn, He's one point behind. I have to win." Thought Gandalf.
"Your turn." Says Sam happily. Gandalf then played the word cajal.
"Are you sure that's a word because I've never heard that before." Merry questioned. All the hobbits shook their heads in agreement. Furry came over Gandalf''s face as he yells, "Meriadoc Brandybuck how dare you take me as a conjuror of cheap tricks." The hobbits sat with a petrified look on their faces. Still in shock Frodo tells Gandalf, "Calm down. We will look in the official Scrabble dictionary. Sam jumped to his feet, and scurried to get it. When he comes back, he hands the dictionary to Frodo.
"Thank you, Sam."
"You really don't need to look this up. You trust me, right?" Gandalf informs him.
"You know we trust you, but lets just make sure." Frodo responds. He then shuffles through the pages." Reaching for his seventh donut, Pippin realizes that there isn't any and exclaims, "There is no more donuts! I'm gonna starve!"
"You've had six already. That should hold you till lunch." Sam says. Frodo then looks up from the dictionary and tells Gandalf, "It's not in here. Maybe you spelled it wrong." Gandalf stands up and yells, "You fools! You take me for a liar." Merry then looks at Gandalf and says, "Well it's not in the dictionary." With rage in his eyes, Gandalf flips the table over and Scrabble tiles fly everywhere. Gandalf then storms out, cursing under his breath. When he slams the door, Pippin says, "Why do we even play with him if he does this every time."
