A/n: You know I've got nothing to say...sooo on with the fic. Reviews puh-leeez!!!

............

Everyone was weary; none even had then energy to set up. Pippin carelessly threw his cot like bed on the floor, and then threw himself down on it.

Merry noticed Pippin curled up like a ball on the ground. Merry frowned, his dear friend had been so hard on himself, and it wasn't his fault...

Merry crawled over to Pippin and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Pippin..." Merry whispered

Pippin did not respond, but rolled over, facing away from Merry

Merry frowned. Then he grabbed Pippin by the shoulders and turned him around, then pulled up into a sitting position. Pippin had the funniest scowl on his face, Merry couldn't help but laugh.

After Merry silenced his laugh he began to speak:

"My dear Pippin, it wasn't your fault, leave the past in the past..."

"It was my fault, Merry. Don't you see? I woke up the Barlog..." Pippin said his voice shaking.

Merry didn't know what to say, he didn't know if there ever could be a response. Instead of speaking, Merry pulled Pippin into an embrace.

"He's gone, our friend is gone, and...and it's my fault." Pippin trembled violently.

Merry rubbed his friends back,

`My poor dear Pippin...'

Pippin had calmed, and now it was Merry's turn to speak:

"Pippin...please...please stop blaming yourself, you're hurting yourself....and I don't want you hurt."

Pippin pulled away; just far enough to see his friends face, tears glassed Merry's eyes.

"Oh, Merry." Pippin hugged his friend again and began to cry into his shoulder.

"I'll try, Merry. I'll try..."

.......

Frodo had curled up in a tree root, fast asleep. Adela was near by; she and Sam were talking about the Lady.

"She's beautiful..." Sam said.

"Yes, but-but there's something about her, I can't describe it." Adela said

Sam shrugged.

"I'm going to check on Frodo..." Adela said walking away.

Sam continued to work on supper.

Adela walked slowly; her mind was too occupied to notice her speed anyway. When Adela glanced up she found that Frodo was missing from where he had been sleeping. Adela glared in confusion

Adela walked around the tree, until she made it to the other side.

`Where are you Frodo?' she asked herself, more than anyone else.

.......

Frodo sat by a stream and was looking at his reflection.

`Though I try to ignore it, I've changed, the ring has changed me..' Frodo thought.

All of a sudden he heard a twig snap, causing him to turn around.

Adela came out of the clearing.

"What-chya doing?" Adela asked leaning over Frodo.

"Nothing..." Frodo asked diverting his eyes from the stream.

Adela nodded, and sat down next to Frodo.

"Well, you sleep well?" Adela asked, running her fingers across the stream.

Frodo smiled, then nodded.

"That's good...Merry and Pippin are asleep, and Sam's making dinner, the others are about..." Adela said, filling Frodo with info.

Frodo laughed

"What have you been doing?"

"Ah not much, not sleeping." Adela replied

"Why not?"

"Can't"

Frodo frowned:

"It's not because of that thing you mentioned earlier, I promise to protect you."

Adela shrugged.

Frodo pushed Adela down on to the grass.

"You. Sleep." Frodo said not letting her go.

"Frodo..." She growled.

"You sleep and I won't leave your side." Frodo said sitting up next to her lying down form.

"Uh..But...fine." Adela said, closing her eyes.

Frodo smiled, and then brushed a few pieces of her hair out of her face.

"Oh, wait!" Adela cried out, and then sat up and kissed Frodo's forehead before falling back down to the ground in sleep. Frodo blushed.

Then Frodo bent down and kissed her forehead.
