Scratched Diamond

This is the story of Dawn Bramble. Speech will be in italics, and I'll tell you who's point of view it is.

I hope you enjoy it! It's one of my personal fantasies.

"Fool of a Took!"

Dawn

Pippin's meeting Merry for an "expedition" today, which means Merry and Pippin are going to steal some mushrooms.

I'll hang around Merry's door, so I can ambush on the way out and give that idiot Peregrin Took a piece of my mind!

I know this will sound big headed, but if only I can hear it, surely it's ok to say...

SOMETIMES MY AWSOME PLANS SURPRISE EVEN ME!

I passed a lot of pantries, Dad's study, and a guest room. In one of the numerous pantries I ducked in and nicked a slice of the cheese that Mum uses for special occasions and started nibbling. I thought of myself as a mouse, scurrying around, eating cheese.

It's amazing how time flies when you're eating cheese, because all of a sudden, I'm at the Brandybuck's door.

Pippin

It's bee a while since I've had an expedition with Merry-I wonder ifDawn'll be coming too? She's been in a bit of a mood lately. Now, before I enjoy myself, is there anything I've forgotten?

Second Breakfast? Check.

Snacks? Check.

Fireworks-hem hem-Distraction Devices? Check.

I'm not supposed to be doing anything? Che-oh.

I'll drop a note at Diamond's house.

Dawn

And waiting, and waiting, and waiting... Merry! I'd pull your cap down over your eyes if you wern't going to be of any use to me- where's Pippin?

Merry

That'd be like her- pull my cap down indeed- probably going to check on Diamond. He's spending all his time with Diamond lately-it's bugging me. He's late.

Pippin

Ack! I'm late again. It's Dawn who opens the door- she's dissapointed, like she's been waiting a while. I'd learnt to tell wht her expressions meant.

Dawn

You're late-again, Pip. Half an hour late. You're late for everything.

Pippin

I had to make last minute arrangments with Diamond!

Dawn

Everything stops for Diamond!

Pippin

Why so angry? I'm only late.

Dawn

Yeah, every single day. It's all since that Diamond thing "love" or whatever. I'd really like to slap you right now. Really.

Pippin

You don't get it! You're a great friend, sure, butI've got different types of feelings for Diamond!

It's no prizes for guessing what.
