A/N I'm back! Again! Are you sick of me yet?

"Where have you been?" Merry asked as Pippin walked through the door. He blushed and glanced at Lily.

"I-I was with Diamond." He grinned sheepishly.

"Pip…I'm surprised at you! You weren't being naughty…were you?" Pippin turned red in the face and started stuttering. "O-of course not! I w- wouldn't dare."

"But you did kiss her, right?" Lily grinned as Pippin turned even redder. Hastily, he excused himself.

"That went well." Merry wrapped his arms around Lily. They had had plenty of time to spend together due to Willow and Diamond distracting Frodo and Pippin.

She twisted her neck to look at him, "Merry?"

"Huh?"

"How long have we been together?"

Merry paused. "I've never really thought about it. Why?"

She leaned forward and kissed him, "I can't remember not being happy."
