***** At the lake *****

'Hi guys!' Mimi yelled as she came running towards the lake
'Hi Mimi' Lila, Pippin, Merry, Pansy and Sam all said together
'So where's this person then Mimi?' Lila asked
'Oh, he's coming with Frodo in a minute' she said breathlessly
'He?' Merry asked with a slight suspicion
'Yea, I'll explain all when they come down ok?'
'Sure' Merry replied almost flatly
'Don't worry Merry' Lila whispered to him 'she still loves you'
'Thanx'

Soon Frodo could be seen walking with another hobbit, they were chatting together happily
Frodo looked up at the group and waved 'hullo everyone'
'Hi' they all replied
The two hobbits came over to the group and stopped
'Everyone' said Mimi 'this is my good friend Falco' she said to the group
'Falco, this is Pippin, Lila, Sam, pansy, and my boyfriend Merry' she said to Falco
Merry perked up a bit at this, happy to know that this Falco guy knew his place
'Hi everyone' Falco said cheerfully
'Hi' they all replied
'So where you from Falco' asked Pansy while fluttering her eyelashes showing she had taken a liking to him
'Well I'm from the same place as Mimi, we grew up together' he replied and looked a bit confused at the way Pansy was acting
'Yea he's like my bested bud and he's kinda like a big brother to me' Mimi said
'Yea' Falco said 'I went off travelling for a while but my lil bro Fosco sent me letters once I was in Mirkwood, I knew about Mimi going off travelling but when the letters stopped I realised something was wrong, when I returned the whole village was in ruins. Everyone had been killed, except Mimi and myself so I decided to try and find her' he finished off

Lila know knew why Mimi had been so happy this morning, one of her dearest friends had come to see her, who was also Fosco's older brother. They were the only two survivors of the fatal incident, and she was the only one out of the hobbits, apart from Mimi and Falco, who knew most of this already. She knew how much Fosco had meant to Mimi.

There was sadness in Mimi's eyes and Merry saw it.

***** Later that day *****

'So how long you staying for' Pansy asked as flirtatiously as she could. She wasn't the only one who wanted to know this.
'Yea Falco, how long ya staying?' Mimi asked
'Not long unfortunately, I have to go soon, I'm off to Rivendell' he replied
'Awwwwwww I don't want you to go, you've only just got here' Mimi whined
'Hey don't worry I will write to you ok?'
'Ok then'
