CHAPTER II - OF FIREWORKS AND STALKERS.

Merry and Pippin strolled through the Shire, it was a cool night and the air was filled with the sweet song of the nightingale.They wandered down to the place were Frodo's birthday party had taken place and there they saw a small crate of fireworks.
"I wonder! Why didn't we light these at the party?" Pippin asked thoughtfully.
"We should take one! Then we could get rid of Sam once and for all!" Merry said, an evil undertone in his voice.
"Yeah, he should know by now that Frodo is OUR boyfriend!." Pippin replied enthusiastically.
"Then we should put one of these in his pack!When he puts it on KABOOM! No more Sam!" Merry fell to the floor in laughter.

Frodo grabbed the sleeve of Sam's jacket and pulled him around the side of the Hobbit-hole.Sam, thinking his master wanted an intimate moment, pushed up against Frodo and got slapped.
"You fool!" hissed Frodo. "We have to get out of here as quick as possible, shush, I've taken his ring!" Frodo dangled the One Ring before Sam's eyes. "You are getting sleepy....Ugh!Sorry couldn't resist!Will you come with me to Rivendell to hide?"
Sam looked at his masters hopeful face, through loyalty he would follow Frodo to the ends of the Earth.Maybe he would get a chance to nick the Ring anyway.
"Yes Mr. Frodo!I'll come with you!"
The two hobbits set about getting their packs ready, filling them with food, rope and the kitchen sink.They left their packs outside to go to the loo one last time before their journey.

Merry and Pippin crept into the garden, seeing the packs left outside they quickly snook a fire work into the pack that looked liked Sam's, Frodo wouldn't carry a kitchen sink right?They hid around the corner sniggering as Sam and Frodo went to collect their packs and to their horror, they found they had put the fire work in Frodo's pack.
"When that fire work explodes in an hour, Frodo will be one hurt Hobbit!" exclaimed Merry.
"Dude, how did you get it so the fire work would explode in an hour?" asked Pippin, absentmindedly eating a tulip.
"I used a timer." answered Merry.
"But they don't exist." said Pippin.
"Shut up" Merry smacked Pippin in the nose.
Merry and Pippin decided they would have to follow Frodo and Sam, it would be good practice stalking anyway.
