Please, forgive the dumbness of this fanfic. ;)
Once again, I don't own Lord of the Rings. If I did; it would have been horrible.
"What do you suppose it is, Pip?" Merry asked, looking down at the small strange box with the odd mirror thing on it.
"Dunno." Pippin reached for it.
"Wait!"
"What?"
"You don't know what it does."
"Now, Merry, has that ever stopped us before?"
Merry shrugged in agreement. Not knowing what something did had never stopped them before, and Gandalf had often harped about that very point. Besides, he was curious. Now what was it that people often said about curiosity…? That it has cats? No, that didn't sound right… But there was definitely something about cats in it.
Pippin lifted the box up. It had a small sideways door. After fighting with the door for a moment or two, he got it open. Inside was Merry and some trees. "Merry!" he gasped.
"What?"
"There's another you!"
Merry looked around. "Where?"
"In here. In this box."
"Let me see." Merry moved to Pippin's side. As he did so, the Merry in the box moved as well, and disappeared. "I don't see me."
"The other you moved when you moved."
"Pippin, how many times do I have to tell you not to lie. It's getting tiresome."
"I'm not lying. Move back over there and I'll prove it."
"Fine." Merry moved back to the place where he was, and Pippin lifted the box. Once again the other Merry was there, so Pippin turned it so the original Merry could see. "Pippin! Your head is in there."
"It is?" Pippin turned the box and once more Merry was in it.
"Yes, but I don't see how it could fit…"
"Merry you are the only one in there."
"I'm telling you, your head was just in there."
"Hmm. I'm not seeing it.
"Perhaps we see different things. It may be magic."
"Gandalf could tell us."
"Then lets go!"
Reviews make Merry and Pippin happy. The rest of the Fellowship, not so much. ;P It also makes the author very happy. :D
