Merry and Pippin
-An adaptation of the classic fairy tale, Hansel and Gretal, for all of those whom are, like me, hopelessly addicted to Lord of the Rings.-
Disclaimer- I don't own LOTR. I don't own Hansel and Gretal. Heck, I don't own anything!!! (Well, I have my mechanical pencil, as I mentioned in another story that is no longer posted, but you don't care about that.)
Note-This is NOT a slash.
~ Chapter I ~ -
Once upon a time, in a land far away (or, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, if you prefer), there lived a poor widowed elf and her two adopted hobbit sons. The elf's name was Arwen, and she had been married to the woodcutter Boromir, who met his untimely death defending his sons from orcs. Although they were poor, she and the hobbits, two mischievous young lads named Merry and Pippin, were very happy. However, deciding that the two troublemaking, yet still so lovable, children needed the guidance of a father, Arwen resolved to look for a new husband. Unfortunately, they were living in the Shire, a place that is a left turn off of Nowhere and has the population of about five and a half inhabitants. Arwen was forced to settle for having her wicked uncle Bilbo move in. This created quite a dilemma. Bilbo hated children, especially ones who hid his cane and put whoopi- cushions under his rocking chair. He complained that they ate more than their share of the meager food supply (which was probably true, considering that they were, in fact, hobbits). One night, as Bilbo sat by the fire, twirling his mysterious golden ring in his hands, he decided to dispose of Pippin and Merry once and for all, whenever the next chance arose...

Ok, these old fairy tales always have a moral, so I think I'll give it a try. The moral of chapter one is- Never get in the way of a cranky hobbit and his food.
So, tell me, whatcha think? Good, bad, stupid, bizarre? Too many run on sentences? Too short? The main question is, DO YOU WANT MORE?!?
