[I proudly bring you the finale chapter of one of my longest fics that I have ever wrote. Sorry it took so long to post this finale chapter. I've been busy because I just started a new job, and that's why this chapter is late but anyway... I've enjoyed writting this but as the saying goes: "All good things must come to an end." Now, I don't plan on writting a sequal to this because in my opinion sequals suck. So as I said, I hope you have enjoyed this, and I plan to write other fics just as long... That is if I can find the time for them. Thanks to all who have reviewed. *waves at all the nice reviewers* I loved the comments and laughed at the flames. Well, I guess that's it. Now on to the finale chapter...]



Chapter Sixteen: The End:

"So how is he doing?" was Frodo's first question when he reached Pippin's Hobbit hole.

Merry, and Sam were all ready there. "Not well." Merry said. "Not well at all."

It's been a few days since their friend Callie had gone back to her world. Everyone had took it pretty hard but no one took it harder then Pippin. He had grown close to her, and she to him. He didn't want her to go but he knew that's where she belonged.
The two had been happy when they were together but now, apart, and alone.

Pippin got up from his bed and started to pace around his room. He then stopped. He could hear his friends talking outside. Pippin knew they were worried about him but he didn't feel like seeing anyone right now.

"I've tried to talk to him but he will not listen to me." he heard Merry say.

"Just give him time Merry." Sam replied. "Time will heal his wound. You will see."

'Easy for you say.' thought Pippin to himself. 'You have someone to share your life with.'

"Maybe I should try talking to him." Frodo said outside the door.

Pippin had, had enough of this. He went to his door and opened it. His friends were surprised to see him.

"Pippin how are you feeling?" said Sam.

Pippin let out a sigh and said: "I know you all mean well but can you please leave?"

"But Pip, let us help you get through this..." Merry started to say, but Pippin cut him off.

"No, please just leave." he said. "Look, the only thing that will make me feel better is if Callie returns."

"You know that will never happen Pip." replied Frodo. "She's in her own world and can not return."

"I know but there is always hope." Pippin said to him rather harshly. "I will keep on hoping until she does return, and until then leave me alone!" with that, he slammed the door in their faces.

Sam, Merry, and Frodo knew that was their cue to leave. They left his home and they all headed towards Frodo's to talk to Bilbo about what was going on with Pippin. However, they doubted he could help Pippin.

"I do not think that time will heal his wound Sam." Merry said to him as they walked. "I've never seen him like this."

"I think it will." he replied.

"I agree with Sam." Frodo said. "He will get over this."

"But what if he can not?" asked Merry with concern in his voice.

"Well, rather he likes it or not we help him through this." Sam said.

They were quiet the rest of the way. When they had got to Bilbo's, they noticed that he had a guest. When they had reached the door, Bilbo was standing outside with a smile on his face.

"Hello uncle." Frodo said. "Is someone here?"

"Yes." answered Bilbo. "Gandalf, they are here."

"Gandalf is here?" Sam asked.

"Yes, I am." said Gandalf as he stepped outside to join them.

"I'm glad to see you Gandalf." Merry replied when he saw the old wizard. "Did Callie make it home all right?"

"Yes, and no." he answered.

"What do you mean?" Frodo asked.

"I have a surprise for all of you." Gandalf said.

"Really what is it?" asked Merry.

"Hello everyone." a familiar voice said as a Hobbit lass came out of the hole.

She looked familiar to Merry, Frodo, and Sam but they could not figure out who she was. They had never seen her before. She was around their hight, had curly brown hair, and blue eyes.

It took them awhile to figure out who was. When they had figured it out, they had all said her name at once. "Callie!"

"That's right!" she replied with a smile.

"But how, what, where, and when?" Sam asked all at once.

Callie let out a laugh. "Now, do not tell me you thought I would leave you all behind." she said as she gave them each a hug. When she parted, she asked: "Where's Pippin?" she turned to Merry.

"Oh, I'm so glad you have returned!" he said to her. "Pippin has not been well since you have left."

"I'm truly sorry." Callie replied. "Where is he? Can you take me to him?"

"Yes, of course." Frodo said. "Come on!"

Frodo took her hand and he lead her to Pippin's home. Sam and Merry followed close behind. They soon reached Pippin's home. The friends reached his the door of his room.

"How are we to approach this?" asked Callie in a low whisper.

"Just be quiet for awhile and we will surprise him." Merry answered, also in a low whisper.

Sam and Frodo watched as the scene began to unfold. Merry started by knocking on Pippin's door. "Didn't I say go away?" they heard Pippin yell from within.

"Come on Pip," Merry said. "You can not stay in your room forever!" he continued. "Why don't you come with me and we can go bother Maggot."

'Why can't they leave me alone!?' thought Pippin as he stood on the other side of the door. He went to the door. Then opened it. "I told you to go..." but he stopped dead sentence. Pippin couldn't believe who he saw before him. "Call... Callie?"

"Yeah, it's me." she said with a smile.

Pippin quickly embraced her. She returned the embrace. Merry, Sam, and Frodo couldn't help but smile at the two. Callie and everything was going to be okay.



THE END



[Well, it's done. I hope you all liked it. I hope the ending came out okay. Don't think it was my best, but it was the only way I could think to end it. However, it's the end, and I'm now working on another Mary Sue. That should be posted soon. Expect more Mary Sues in the future. I love the things. LOL. Anyway, until next time, and thanks again.]
