The Untold Adventures of Pip, Mer, and Legos

*note to reader: my grammar sucks, so you will notice that I skip between past and present tenses quite often **another note.this is just a preface

The following is the account of Peregrin Took, Meriadoc Brandybuck, and Legolas Greenleaf that remains untold to the world outside of Middle Earth. All of that was made up to have a happy ending.well here is a happier and much funnier one. No, Frodo did NOT go to the Grey Havens, but yes, Sam has kids now. Pippin and Merry are still bachelors. Legolas and Gimli did not sail off into the sunset after the death of Aragorn, who is still living and is happily married to Arwen. Gandalf is still out there .somewhere, and still makes the most random visits to Bag End, in which Frodo and Sam's family live.

Anyway, to the point. Merry and Pippin have opened a tavern on the outskirts of the Shire. In Buckland in the East Farthing to be exact, a few miles south of the Brandywine Bridge and on the east side of the River Brandywine.

Having heard the tale of the brave hobbits saving Middle Earth from the Ring of Power, thousands have flocked to the Shire to see where the two (actually four.Merry and Pippin constantly had to remind visitors that they helped to save the world too) hobbits lived. Thus, the sport of tourism begins.

Wanting to get away from all of the tourists but still have customers, the area chosen for the two hobbit's tavern was ideal, for the people of Middle Earth hardly stopped after they came from Bree by means of the East Road once they reached the Shire, but occasionally, when either business was low in Buckland or too high in the Shire, the road signs pointing to the Shire and to Stock would sometimes be pointing in each others directions.and for some reason this always happened when Pippin went out for a 'stroll'. (*authors note: you might want to find some maps of the shire for this.I suggest looking online b/c the ones in the back of FotR are too small to see these details)

Now I know you are all wondering.when is this kid gonna shut up and get to the good stuff? Well patience my friend!

Using their connections through Gimli with the dwarves, the hobbits had a handsome tavern built out of stone mined from Moria, which had been exterminated of all orc and goblin life with the assistance of the elves of Lorien, and was now restored to its former beauty, if not surpassed it.

Legolas provided the seeds for trees that would never die and were ever blooming in different shades of gold, silver, blue, and red depending on the tree, even in the depths of the harshest winters. They had reached full size within a week of planting.

Inside the tavern was filled with roaring fires and several rooms for guests to stay in, including twenty hobbit-sized and ten big folk-sized. Merry and Pippin's own rooms were located over the tavern. When the problem arose about who was going to watch the pub at night, they called upon Legolas, who, having never been to the Shire, was among the tourists seeing the sights of Hobbiton. Being an elf and never needing sleep, he agreed, only on the condition that he could get free drinks, having developed a love for ales with the 'help' of Gimli, who in fact had said that he would never talk to the elf again if he didn't drink at least one ale (talk about peer pressure.such a devastating thing for an elf to lose a friend).

Each of the bartenders donned their own tavern vest: all of them deep blue, almost black, with their name embedded in Common and Elvish on the front. The name of the tavern is Fool's Paradise, a name that suits the beautiful tavern that appeared to be trapped in a state of constant spring time, and the atmosphere of joviality and mischief engulfes it entirely. Times are good and prosperous in these days. Then again.the tavern has been in business for only a month. Now, our story finally begins..in chapter 1
