Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story. This is
purely a fan fiction.
The Shire market was bustling as it almost always is on a Sunday. I was glad to see the Shire like this again, although my adventures had taken me far my heart was still very much here. I had always loved the Shire but only months before I had left with Frodo, Sam and Pippin I had found a different love, not for the Shire but for someone in it.
" Good morning Mr Merry! How are you on this fine day?" I turned at the voice to come face to face with Fatty Bolger. " Mr Merry? Since when do we use such formal talk?" I laughed. Fatty blushed " Sorry M.Merry, just that is what most people now call you and say I must." I slung my arm around him and started walking. " Well I would appreciate it if you didn't, ok?" I smiled "That would be fine Merry!"
It was then, at that precise moment that I heard that voice again, that voice that would send shivers down my spine, that voice that still sent shivers down my spine and created a warm feeling inside me. " Brother of mine, I thought that I had lost you....but I see you found some other company, hello Merry!" Her smile was radiant and almost paralysed me. " Hello Estella, sorry I took your brothers company from you, but you can have him back now and I must be returning to Brandy Hall, no doubt Pip will already be waiting for me. Nice to see you both again" I smiled at both Bolgers but couldn't help but hesitate as I looked at Estella. Her brown curls hanging down her shoulders, her eyes sparkling even brighter as she smiled. I turned and was about to walk away when I felt someone grab my shoulder, " Merry, will you be joining us at the party tomorrow night up past our house? Most of the Shire this side of Hobbiton will be there, including Sam and Rosie." I turned round and smiled at Fatty " Wouldn't miss it, see you there Fatty, see you there Estella." Estella smiled back at me " Goodbye Merry, have a nice day" Little did she know she had already made my day.
You are probably wondering how I came to be in love with Estella Bolger, the beautiful younger sister of my friend Fatty Bolger, right? Well like I said it all began a few months before I left the Shire with Frodo, Sam and Pippin.....
Please read and review, any feedback appreciated, I know this is only a short chapter but second will be up very very shortly. .
