A/N: Sorry for not updating, but here it is! (Rolls dramatic music) THE FOURTH CHAPTER! I'll be trying to update more often now. I've been a bit preoccupied, what with summer and all. Alas, school has begun to hover in my mind as an ominous cloud. Not that I don't like school, but still, summer's so wonderful. This will be a short chapter. You have been warned.
"We need not the telling of the story, for we too have lived through it!" Gandalf said, his gruff voice full of merriment.
"Gandalf?" Frodo called.
"And Legolas, Aragorn, Arwen, and two others you have not met," Gandalf called back.
There was a grumbling inside, as a certain dwarf muttered, "Pansy elf! Finally showed up, eh?"
"Idiot dwarf! So you're here too? No longer mining?" Legolas laughed.
The door creaked open and Frodo appeared, with Peregrin, Meriadoc, Samwise, and Gimli crowding behind him. "Come in! Come in! We're just starting supper! It's wonderful to see you all again!" The company cried variously.
After introductions, they proceeded to have supper, and talked about things that had happened since they had all last seen each other. Pippin and Merry were getting along very well with Mallorn and Boromir. All of them seemed to have a good mind for jokes. (Gasp! Four practical jokers! Oh the horror!)
"What are those four doing over there?" Sam asked, watching Pippin, Merry, Mallorn, and Boromir, as they whispered with their heads together.
Legolas sighed, "I wish not to know. Mallorn is a great mischief maker, and perhaps it was not wise to mix them together."
Aragorn laughed, "How much trouble can they cause?"
"Ask Haldir of Lorien. The one time he visited Greenwood, Mallorn was 9 and." the voice of Legolas trailed off, and he shuddered.
"But this is the Shire, not the forest! Not all that many places for them to hide! They'd be seen before they could do any harm!" Sam said.
Arwen smiled, "It is not hard for an elf to hide. Especially a wood elf with as much training as Mallorn has. She could hide the others too, if the need arose."
"Dad, Merry and Pippin are going to show Boromir and I around the Shire. We'll be back before nightfall. Namarie!" Mallorn kissed her father on the cheek, and, with Boromir taking a piggyback ride, swiftly followed the hobbits out the door.
"Thus the chaos begins," Gandalf said ominously.
