A/N: Sorry that I was gone a long time :/ I am very busy and I hate to say after this chapter I'm gone for two weeks. My friend 33JayleeOfTheValley33 are going somewhere and will not have any time to publish. :( Sorry.


"Pep, your coming too, right?" Pippin asked. Pep looked at him, regret in her eyes.

"No, Pippin. Gandalf's only taking you..." She spoke quietly.

"Well see each other again, right?" He looked at Gandalf for an answer, but the wizard was silent.

"I... I don't know. Everything's too confusing."

"Pep? Merry? Meghan?"

Gandalf was ready.

"Run, Shadowfax. Show us the maning of haste." Gandalf instructed.

"Pep!" Pippin called back as Shadowfax ran off.

Pep shoved Merry and Meghan out of the way as she sprinted up the stairs to the platform above the gate.

Meghan and Merry helped each other up, Meghan rolling her eyes, and ran after Pep. Aragorn was following them.

"I'm gonna miss him." Pep whispered as Meghan and Merry appeared.

"You'll see him again one day, I promise." Meghan pat her back.

"He's always followed me everywhere I went since before we were tweens. I would get him into the worst sort of trouble, but I was always there to get him out." Merry sighed. "Now he's gone... Just like Frodo... And Sam!"

"One thing I've learnt about hobbits; they are a most hardy folk." Aragorn mused.

"Foolhardy, maybe. He's a Took!" Everyone but Pep laughed and went inside.

The poor hobbit watched Shadowfax gallop away, feeling really upset.

'Was Meghan telling the truth? Will I ever see him again?' She though desperately. Pep shook her head and followed everyone else downstairs.

... (A/N: This is a HUGE time skip. But I can't think of anything to put in between Pippin's departure and the beacons, so... Yeah. Sorry :/)

A week or two later, Pep, Meghan, and Lily were boredly (A/N: Okay, 'boredly' is not a word but whatever.) sitting in the hall.

"We've been waiting here forever..." Meghan sighed. Pep nodded. She hasn't spoken since Pippin left.

Lily nodded. "Yeah. But it won't be long until the beacons-"

Suddenly Aragorn burst into the hall.

"The beacons of Minas Tirith! The bacons are lit!" Aragorn yelled. "Gondor calls for aid!"

Lily smiled. "I told you so." Meghan tried her best not to laugh and Lily thought she even saw Pep grin slightly.

Meanwhile everyone looked at Theoden. "And Rohan will answer. Muster the Rohirrim!"

Lily smiled and stood up. "Well, lets go."

As the three walked out, Meghan caught a glance of Merry asking Theoden to fight. She smiled when Merry suddenly got very excited and ran off towards the stables.

...

"Horse men!" Gimli scoffed. "Wish I could muster an army of Dwarves, fully armed and filthy!"

"Your kinsmen may have no need to ride to war." Legolas responded calmly." I fear war already marches on their own lands."

Lily watched this as she boarded her own horse. How many wars were there in this place?

"Now is the hour, Riders of Rohan! Oaths you have taken! Now fulfil them all, to Lord and Land! Hyah!"

And everyone rode away from Edoras.


A/N: Really, REALLY short chapter. But I'm leaving soon. :/

I will see you all in two weeks;
