Chapter

Merry and Pippin where minding their own business in the Shire. Merry was smoking his pipe. Legolas was also with them.

Pippin said, "I am bored. What kind of mischief can we cause?"

Merry shrugged, "I dunno."

Legolas said, "Why dont we all go over to Bilbo's old house?"

Pippin said sadly, "But Frodo is not their anymore."

Legolas tilted his head, "True."

Pippin said, "We can explore the woods!"

Legolas nodded and they followed Pippin. All the sudden they where fallen on the ground in a road.

They jumped out of the way of a moving vehicle. The person yelled, "What the H***?"

Pippin said to Merry, "What does that mean?"

Merry shrugged, "I dont know..."

They where almost hit by another car. But this car went to a stop.

Pippin yelled, "Now I know what that word means! It is a exclamation of disgust! What The ****"

The man behind the wheel stared at the small person, "My name is John Ross. Are you lost?"

Pippin said, "Nope...Well..."

Merry said, "In a way..."

Legolas said, "Yes."

John Ross said, "Where are you from?"

Pippin piped up, "Middle Earth or the Shire. Have you heard of it?"

John said, "Yes. But only in books."

Pippin said, "Books? Why are we in books?"

Merry said, "We dont have anywhere to stay."

Legolas watched the Hobbits talk to the man as if it wasn't at all unnatural.

John said, "Well you can stay with me."

Legolas said quickly, "We would love to but we need to find our way home."

John smiled, "This is America. You are at least 10 million miles away from home."

Pippin said, "We can stay with you then."

John nodded and said, "Come in." He opened the car door.

Legolas eyed the car suspiciously, "You want us to get in the belly of the beast?"

John blinked rapidly, "In a way yes. Only I am driving this."

Merry got in the car first.

Then Legolas then Pippin.

John said, "Hook your seatbelts."

Legolas asked, "What is a Seat Belt?"

John closed his eyes praying for patience. He turned around and hooked their seatbelts then went back to the front, "Okay. On our way to my home!"

Legolas nodded slowly.

The car drove and they stopped in front of a two story house.

Pippin said with awe, "Are you a Mayor?"

John looked at Pippin, "No. I am a Preacher."

Merry asked, "What is a Preacher?"

John said, "A Minister."

Legolas nodded and got out along with the Hobbits.

John said, "Welcome to my home."
