Gandalf smiled over at the young hobbits.
He hoped Merry and Pippin could live full lives.
Get married in the Shire.
Have children.
Have a chance to grow up.
Unlike they did.
Gandalf smiled sadly as Merry and Pippin almost mirrored Kili and Fili.
He hoped nothing went wrong for the young hobbits too.
