"Fool of a Took! This is a serious journey, not a hobbit walking-party. Throw yourself in next time, and then you will be no further nuisance. Now be quiet!" Gandalf's words echoed through his head. He had been nearly knocked unconcious by the cave troll, and no one cared, not even his best friend.

"Maybe, the Fellowship would be better off without me." he though as he followed everyone out of the mines. Everyone began to cry, due to the fact, that Gandalf fell into the darkness of the mines. But, Pippin, took the advantage, to sneak back into the mines.

"Finally, I am alone." he thought.

*~*~*~*~*

"Legolas, get them up." said Aragon.

"Give them a moment, for pity's sake." said Borimir, giving Strider a death stare.

"By nightfall, these hills will be swarming with Orcs." explained Strider.

Once everyone was up, they began to walk. "Wait." shouted Borimir, "Someone's missing." he said looking over the group, "Where's Pippin?"

"Oh-no." gasped Merry, "He's gone."

*~*~*~*~*

There were no more Orcs on the other side of the broken bridge anymore, so Pippin walked out onto it, and looked down. All he saw was darkness. "I wonder if Gandalf is still falling?" he thought.

He sat down at the edge of the broken bridge, and just started to think.

*~*~*~*~*

"Where could he have gone?" asked Sam, "He couldn't have gone that far. We haven't walked very far."

"True Sam, ok, lets split up." suggested Borimir, "Frodo, Merry, you come with me, Gimli, Strider, Legolas, and Sam. We'll search the mines. The rest of you can search everywhere else. Frodo, Merry, lets go back into the mines." and Frodo and Merry followed.

*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile, inside the mines, Pippin decided to stand up, he had had enough thinkning for one day. He was now staring accross the broken bridge way, when he heard someone coming. "PIPPIN!" he heard his name being called.

He turned around to see three shadows coming down the stairs. He was scared. He began backing up, slowly. "They followed me." he thought. He continued backing up, until there was no more room, in which to back up.

"Pippin?" shouted Frodo, "Thank goodness we found you." he said, and Pippin took the risk, he backed up, and fell.

"PIP!" shouted Merry. Pippin had grabbed on by his fingertips, but was slipping, fast.

"Pippin, hold on, we're coming to get you." came Borimir's voice. "Don't let go."

"Why should I?" shouted Pippin.

"We need you." answered Borimir.

"Yeah, right." answered Pippin, his fingers sliding even more.

"What do you mean?" asked Frodo.

"You all don't need me I'm a nuisance." answered Pippin. Now, Borimir had reached him. His fingers slid the last two inches, and he was falling into the darkness.

"PIPPIN!" the three of them shouted. But, Pippin was falling into darkness.

*~*~*~*~*

Frodo, Merry and Borimir ran out of the caves, their faces with a horror struck look on them.

"Did you find him?" asked Sam.

"Yes, but-" started Merry.

"Where is he Borimir?" asked Aragorn.

"He fell, into the darkness, just like Gandalf." he answered.

"No." replied Legolas.

"Yes." replied Frodo.

Little did they know, Pippin was perfectly fine, and unharmed.

*~*~*~*~*

Pippin looked around, and all he saw was darkness, all around him. Until, a flash of bright light erupted from the darkness, blinding him. And that was all he remembered.

A/n: Ya'll can tell that my favorite character is Pippin, right? Good. Neways, cliffie, major. But, I promise yall that nuthing bad will come from this, hopefully. Hmm.. ::brainstorming ideas::f
