Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took were the best of friends. Getting in to trouble all the time and driving the other Hobbits in the Shire crazy! But they were nice and considerate.

"Hey Pip, let's go pick up some tomatoes at Maggot's, I'm sure his veggies are ripe by now. It's been what, a week since the last time we picked food from him" Merry suggested.

Pippin nods and so they set off for Farmer Maggot's crops to get into their usual trouble.

When they got there, they looked around the fields for any sign of Maggot and his dogs. Seeing that the cost is clear, they hop over the fence and start to gather tomatoes, carrots, Pippin even got hold of a bag of potatoes.

When the day was getting near to the end, Pippin and Merry start to head back home, with a handful of vegetables, when they all of a sudden hear barking a little behind them, they look at each other and start to run through the corn field.

"Hurry...up...faster...Pip!" Merry pants. Pippin runs as fast as he can, getting a little ahead Merry when bam, Pippin runs into Frodo.

"Ack" Frodo yelps as Pippin collides into him. Merry not far behind rams into Samwise, Frodo's loyal servant.

"Frodo? Look Merry, it's Frodo Baggins" Pippin say matter-o-fact like, still on top of Frodo from their collision.

"Hello Frodo!" Merry responds, Sam struggling to get out from under Merry, then rustling Pippin to get of Frodo. The dogs can be heard again not far, and they can see Maggots sickle sticking up from the corn stalks.
