Chapter 4: Reunited

-Sam-

He must have been a hobbit. I felt excited. I could just go and hug the stranger, who I'm pretty sure is not a stranger. When I asked him who he was, he hesitated before looking down at his, feet.

"Sam it's me Pi…" He was cut off by the taller stranger.

" I ask the great spirits of the trees to please help me wake this halfling from his never ending slumber, he was weak and hungry and only ate the slumber berries to fulfill his hunger." He raised his hands in the air. A white light shown in the sky.

Then a booming voice sounded, "Why should we help you Gandalf the white? Are you friends with the halfling?"

Gandalf the white? It couldn't be?

"Yes I am, I knew his uncle who is like a father to him, this boy means the world to me."

It must be him!

"Then yes we will help you,"

I watched Gandalf with great astonishment. I thought he was dead.

The light grew brighter. Suddenly I was aware of my surroundings. The trees were moving towards them. They got closer and closer until, "Awake small one, by the gods of the forest I demand you to awake." The tallest tree said.

I looked down at the sleeping Frodo, he started to twitch, all of a sudden all the trees went back to their original places.

----------------------------------------------

-Frodo-

After Sam hid me I couldn't hear a thing. It all was gone. I felt scared. Then something happened, I saw a light a white light. Then I heard the voice of the white wizard then, I woke up.

"Frodo?" It was Sam.

I slowly opened my eyes, "Wh-whe-where is Sm-sme-Smegul?"

"Don't worry Mr. Frodo he's around here some where,"

I sat up and looked around. There were two hooded people. A tall one with a staff, and a short one with…hobbit feet! "Who are you?" I said pointing up at them.

"I was wondering the same thing?" Sam said closening to me.

I stared at the two men. "Sam can you help me up?" I held my hand in the air.

Sam slowly pulled me up off the ground.

I walked towards the two people, "You have Hobbit feet, and you have a staff, and I feel I know you both. I have a feeling I do," Frodo took another step forward.

"Sam, Frodo it is me Pippin!" The Hobbit slipped the hood off his had and smiled.

"Pippin?" Sam said closening up on him. "I can't believe it is!" He jumped up and hugged him I joined in on the hug.

"But then who are you?" I was confused this man had said while Sam was running that he was the White the Wizard, but he had saved my life, why?

"I Frodo am the NEW White Wizard," What? The NEW white wizard?

"What is your name?" I said looking at Pippin who was smiling.

"You know my name Frodo, for you have known me most of your life. I think I am known as the disturber of peace in the Shire, or at least I used to be, that was when I was Gandalf the grey but I am not him, not any more, I more powerful and stronger now."

"Gan-Gandalf?" I couldn't believe it, I was utterly bewildered. I thought him to be dead!

"But you died!" Sam called out.

"No time to explain Sam, we must leave at once; you have no guide no map and obviously no food! Tell me Frodo, Sam even after a life in the Shire you can not recognize berries?" Gandalf smiled at us.

"I knew it was those berries, Gollum our so called guide told us we could eat them; that they were safe, but I knew! I KNEW! And just look what happened." He gestured towards Frodo. "Just think if someone had found us,"

"Yes if Foramear had seen you then you would be dead! He has sworn to kill all men and orcs, and I'm guessing he will kill hobbits in this forest, I am lucky he did not kill me. Maybe that's why there is no-one in the forest. Maybe that is wh…" Gandalf was cut off by screaming.

"MASTER! MASTER! NASTY FAT HOBBITSES CARRIES YOU OFF HE DID! MASTER? MASTER WERE ARE YOU BEING? MASTER!" it was Smegull.

"Over here Smegull!" I called out.

"So you do have a guide?" Gandalf looked me in the eye.

"Yes He has shown us black gate and told us that we can not just walk through that we must go around, up some steps and straight on." Sam answered.

"You plan to murder them!?" Gandalf yelled as Smegull came out of some bushes.

"No, no Master is our friend he is! We never hurt master and precious, never."

"Liar! You killed Theodore to get the ring! You are a murderer!" Gandalf pointed his staff at the helpless creature.

"Gandalf how was he planning to hurt us?" I said throwing my arms out in between the staff and Smegull.

"He was planning to take you to Shelub, a very preposterous creature! She only gets to eat orces, he was planning to feed you to her, she lives in the cave at the top of the stairs! He still wants the ring!"

I turned to Smegull who's eyes shot open, then he ran; he ran and ran as fast as he could.

"So what now?" Sam asked watching Gandalf.

"You are coming to Gondor with us to tell them that war is coming to them, and to light the beacon, that will send word to Rohan; but you two mustn't be here, we need to send you two to Rohan. When we get to Gondor we will find someone. Now come along we must leave." He squished me, Sam, Pippin and himself on the beautiful white horse, then we rode off. I felt bad for leaving Smegull behind, though some how I knew it was not good-bye. I will see him before the end.

A\\N Okay so to answer a few questions, the reason Pippin helped Gondor with the war was looking into Sauroman's orb and seeing the burning tree, the reason Gandalf and Pippin were riding to Gondor was to alert all of Gondor, then light the beacon to send word to Rohan for help. That's why Gandalf and Pippin were riding, and the reason Frodo and Sam were in the forest was because they sleep in a forest like every night! And yes Foramear has sworn to kill all he sees in the forest, that is one of the reason he goes to check out the noise that Gandalf is making, the reason he did not kill him is because well just think about it, who would want to kill the white wizard? Especially when it is Gandalf! Ok well I need someone to a BETA reader for me so just e-mail me at ! Oh and another thing it isn't Ithilien, it's just some forest
