The two hobbits walked throughout the market.
'See any cute ones?' Merry asked Pippin. Pippin was busy winking at a *very* young hobbit-lass. She giggled and skipped off. 'A little young, Pip?' he asked his younger cousin sarcastically.
'Yea, I know,' he answered 'but flirting never hurt!' Merry smiled and scoped out the crowd. 'Whoa, look at THAT!' Pippin pointed out a girl who looked rather strange. She was wearing a black, lacy dress which differs greatly from the bright, earthy tones of normal hobbit-ware. She also wasn't wearing a smile. She stood out significantly in the happy crowd. 'What a weirdo!' Pippin added, and turned to wink at another girl. Merry stood there frozen. She intrigued him. His best friend snapped him out of his trance.
Uhm, Merry, you don't mind. do you?' Merry turned around to see his
younger cousin being led away by a pretty hobbit-lass.
'Of course not!' Merry yelled back at him while laughing. Merry looked
back into the crowd; the stranger was gone. Meriadoc decided to go to
a quiet spot near the Brandywine River.
When he got there he sat by some brush close to the water.
When he got there he sat by some brush close to the water. To his surprise the strange hobbit-lass he saw before in the crowd was walking closer. When she saw Merry she almost jumped.
"Oh.s-sorry, I d-didn't know anyone else w-was here." She stuttered. "Oh, no really, it's okay" he blurted as she turned to leave. "Please, you can stay!" Merry added convincing the girl to sit down. "Hi," Merry held out his hand "I'm Meriadoc, but please call me Merry." "My name is Jade." She whispered back shyly taking his hand to shake it, but Merry kissed her hand instead. She blushed, and slightly smiled.
"Are you new to Buckland?" Merry asked. Jade hesitated, "Well, yes." "Then, welcome to Buckland!" Merry greeted her, but her smile was still minimal. Merry rose and started to skip rocks into the river. He wanted to get more out of her, she was mysterious, and he was very interested in to hear about her. Jade kept to herself in the brush watching the smooth stones skip into the water causing a small ripple. Merry stole glances at her to see if she was watching him, which she was.
"Do you want to try?" Merry inquired, Jade shook her head and looked down. "Why not?" he continued, which was answered by a soft voice go "I don't know how." "Oh it's easy!" Merry exclaimed "I could teach you!" Once again the girl looked down and shook her head. Merry looked down too and bit his lower lip. "Oh, okay then." He said solemnly. He skipped a few more stones, and turned back to look at her once more, but she was not there. She must've slipped away through the brush.
He sighed, why won't she talk to him? He desperately was thirsty for any information on her. He unhappily walked home. He opened the door of his hobbit-hole feeling tired, for no reason whatsoever. Wasn't he feeling lively just a mere 40 minutes ago? He shook his head and walked in. " "Merry!" Esmerelda called after seeing her son enter, "We have a guest!" There standing besides his mother was Jade. Merry couldn't catch his jaw as it dropped to the ground. He quickly recovered and tried to hide his large grin. Even Jade could hardly hide a slight smirk. Esmerelda, once again, smiled "Jade here is a very special hobbit-lass, and since she is new and your father is the master of Buckland, she will be staying with us." His mother raised her eyebrow at her son's expression but continued "Merry, will you send this young woman to her room?"
Merry grinned at his mother's face and sarcastically bowed. "Of course," Merry replied, "Right this way, Milady" Merry extended his arm and followed her down the hall to the guestroom. He smiled and led her in. "I hope you have a fine time in Buckland, Milady." Merry winked. He was trying his hardest to be funny, but she didn't seem to notice. Jade seemed to be in a trance. Merry wondered if she was always like this, but smiled anyway and stood in the doorway as she sat on her bed.
"I'll show you around tomorrow if you want" Merry kindly offered. Jade seemed to realize he was there because she turned to him and accepted "If you wish.Merry" she replied trying to sound thankful and happy "But now I wish to rest from my rather long trip" Merry nodded and smiled "I'll see you in the morning then, by the way where did you come fro-."He was cut off by the sight of Jade already in a deep sleep on her bed. Merry just smiled (once again) and closed the door behind him while whispering "Goodnight Jade" and he walked back into the kitchen.
