DIAMOND

I collected the picnic basket and blanket a tramped down the hill in silent tears. If I thought I regretted my mistake then, it was no where how much regret I would feel later. I came home to an empty house, wondering where he had gotten to, but assumed he went to Merry or Sam's house and wept bitterly to myself, sleepless.

PIPPIN

I had no where to go, exept Merry house, in the middle of the night. In a fairy tale, I would tell you that he told me what to do and I came back to my house and made up with Diamond and we would be in love until our dying day. This is not a fairy tale. Of all things to go wrong, it began to rain. The dawn was breaking, and I decided to just head home when I got to his door.

DIAMOND

I decided that since the sun was already rising, I might as well cook breakfast. The clouds and rain had suddenly crept up a few hours earlier. And then there was a knock at the door. There stood poor Pippin, drenched from head to toe, his tunic plastered to his chest, and his hair dripping into his face. In a fairy tale, I would tell you I rushed into his arms and said I was sorry and forgave me eagerly and we would be in love until our dying day. This is not a fairy tale. I ran to him and pulled him inside and wrapped him in two THICK quilts and started to dry his hair with a towel. "OH PIPPIN! IM SO SORRY!" I began sadly. " I really DIDN'T mean to hurt you!" He looked up at me with broken eyes that were leaking with tears. "You didn't hurt me Diamond, " he said quietly. "Oh I did I REALLY DID THOUGH!" I said, sobs boiling up in my throat. 'I really really- " but he interrupted "you scarred me. Worse than anything I have been scarred by in my journeys. Now if anything ever comes of us, it wont ever be as much as it could be because you just drove a wedge between us, and if it ever gets removed it will leave a hole that cant be filled with anything." He said quietly once more. I began to weep. " It can be filled with something Pippin." He gave me a quizzical look. " Forgiveness." I said wisely. He stood with his blankets and gave me a hard look that I recognized.. I had invented that cold look and braced myself for what he would say. But nothing could have braced me for this. "Now why would you want to fill a hole, you have spent so much time digging my lady? Especially to a one you are forcefully chained to" and left the room.
