I got the Idea for this story just one random day after summer school. Just
so you know, it's going to be told by different people's points of views,
but mostly Estella's. Read and review!
Estella Bolger
Diamond of Long Cleeve, my best friend for what seems like a million years is going to get married. Funny, I never really thought that she would.
Who's the lucky guy, you ask? Well that, my friend, would be Mister Peregrin Took. The very same Peregrin Took(he's called Pippin for short), who was in the great War of the Ring with his close companion, Meriadoc Brandybuck(know by most as just Merry). These two, along with their friends Samwise Gamgee(Sam) and Frodo Baggins, also helped to rid the Shire of Sharky and his half-orcs, who had taken over and nearly destroyed us. But it was mostly the doing of Merry and Pippin.
So yes, my best friend is getting married to Pippin Took, troll-slayer, Gondorian soldier, and future Thain. Now, personally, I think this is kind of ironic, as I'm ten years older than she is, but I don't really want to get married anyway. You'd also think that Merry, who's eight years older than Pippin, would've gotten married before his best friend. Oh, well.
It all started at Sam Gamgee's wedding to Rosie Cotton. When Rosie threw her bouquet into the crowd, who was to catch it but Pippin. Now, this was all very funny at the time because Pippin was always known for getting into trouble and causing mischief, NOT as someone who'd want to get married. We'd been invited to the wedding(actually, EVERYONE was invited to their wedding) and happened to be standing next to Pippin when he caught the flowers. Actually Diamond was standing next to him, I was on the other side of her. Well, she's always had a little crush on Pippin anyway, so when he blushed and looked around and she was the first girl he saw... she just kinda blushed back and nodded. Why, she nodded, I don't know, but it's Diamond, so you never really know. I noticed this, but mostly I was just laughing at them. Actually, pretty much everyone was laughing at them, especially Merry, who'd been on the other side of Pippin and had seen his confused face close up. After the wedding, at the reception, we met back up with Pippin and Merry. Diamond was just blushing to her ears when Pippin asked to talk to her. They excused us and left. I was giggling a bit as they left and when I looked at Merry, I saw his huge, slightly lopsided grin. It was kinda cute, actually, but never mind.
"Who's your friend my silly little cousin is after?" he'd asked.
"Oh, that's Diamond of Long Cleeve. It's funny, 'cause she's always had a little thing for Pippin." I replied.
His grin increased. "Really? Pip seemed to like her when he saw her at the wedding."
"Yeah."
"I'm Merry, bye the way. Merry Brandybuck."
"I'm Estella Bolger. You two were the ones who saved the Shire."
"Yeah," he said blushing a little. "But it was Frodo who really saved us. If it wasn't for him, we'd all be dead by now."
"True. It must have been hard for him, carrying that ring all the way to Mordor."
"He doesn't really talk about it much... Hey, you're one of the first Hobbits I've met who actually knows what Frodo did... or cared enough."
"Well, I listened when everyone was talking. Though I think most people only care about the Shire. I mean, we aren't the ONLY people in Middle Earth."
"Yeah," he said smiling a bit. "Everyone else just forgot about Frodo. You know, I think we should have a national Frodo day, where everyone honors him!"
I laughed. "That way, people'd have to remember him!"
"What are you talking about?!?" said Frodo from behind us. "A day honoring me? I think I'll just stay home and be forgotten!"
"Come on! It'd be fun!" Merry said, smiling mischievously at his old friend.
Frodo gave him an odd look. "You and all your crazy ideas!" He looked at me. "Who's this?"
Merry answered for me. "She's Estella. Her friend's the one Pip's after."
"Oh, and what are they doing?" Frodo said with a smile.
"Probably talking about small things and blushing entirely too much," I responded.
They laughed. "And speaking of which, I should see what they're up to!" Merry said.
"Yeah, I've gotta go home soon, anyway. Mum doesn't want me staying out too long."
"Nice to meet you Estella. Goodbye Frodo."
"Nice meeting you too. Though, I'm sure we'll see a lot more of each other if Diamond and Pippin keep this up!"
"Probably." He said, laughing.
"Goodbye, you two! Have a nice day." Frodo ended our conversation.
And that's how it went. Diamond and Pippin started dating not soon after that, and then, after a couple of years, they got engaged. Oh, well. At least we've all become friends; Merry, Pippin, Diamond, and myself. Or in Pippin and Diamond's case, a wee bit more than just friends.
YEY!!! An actual serious story of mine that isn't that bad! Review, please!
