Hi! Thanks everyone for such a great amount of support, it really does make all the difference to a writer to get nice reviews!!! I hope you like the Merry idea... yeesh what crazy stuff is going to happen now? Well, here ya go!!! Oh yeah, and sorry for the shortness of this chapter...



What's a hobbit doing in my room?



It took a few minutes to settle everybody down after that, and I found myself holding Pippin's arms to his side and covering his mouth because he had so much to say to Merry (who, by the way I had no idea was here), and every time he got a chance, was either sitting on him or suffocating him.



Kali was still passed out but I had moved her to my bed, where she lay with her mouth open. I noticed Merry looking over at her, every one in a while, probably frightened of that cavernous toothy cave, staring up at him. I know I was. With this on my mind, Pippin squirmed out of my grip and bounded over to Merry who put his hands up in defense before being pounced on and knocked to the ground.



"Get off me, Pip!" the older Hobbit growled and the two promptly became involved in a Hobbit wrestling match. I cannot aptly put into words how this looked- it was just too strange to see the blur of furry feet and short legs tumbling around my bedroom. Well, think Hobbits in the WWF and maybe that will do some justice to the scene. It was disturbing to say the least.



"Cut it out!" I yelled, putting an end to the rumble as the two froze, Pippin's fingers around Merry's neck and Merry with a mouthful of Pippin's hair between his teeth. They slowly released one another and sat down sheepishly on the floor at my feet.



"Ok. not that I mind, but how did Merry get here?" I asked once they had stopped fidgeting and smacking each other like little kids. Pippin snapped up and looked at Merry.



"Oh yes! I'd nearly forgotten! How did you get here, Merry? The same way as me, I'll wager." He said, looking sideways at me, a little nervously. Merry looked distant, as I had once seen Pippin when I had asked a similar question, and then answered:



"I followed you, Pip. I had to if you see my meaning. And then Frodo- oh Frodo. he- he's gone Pippin. He fell." Merry answered his eyes unfocused momentarily then setting on Pippin. The mentioned bowed his head and I swear I heard a sniff and then he began to cry. Merry put his hand on the Hobbit's shoulder in comfort and patted it brotherly. I needed to say something but my mouth wouldn't work. You've never known cute until you've seen Peregrin Took crying like a little. cutie.



I let out a little, garbled: aaaawwww!!! Because I knew Frodo was all right and before I knew what I was doing I had both the Hobbits scooped into my arms and I was hugging them tight. Probably too tight because they both began to squirm and Pippin kicked me in the shins before I finally let them go.



"Ouch.." Merry whimpered and I responded with another hug. I was letting out all of my pent up -I wanna hug the Hobbit- emotions on the poor little guys and they had no way of stopping me. Too bad for them, yah for me. Anyways, after finally letting them out of my grasp I looked down at their adorable little puppy dog faces. with the huge, teary eyes. and the quivery bottom lip and the sniffly nose; and I couldn't help myself:



"Nonononono! Frodo's all right!!! I promise, I swear I just know it.. JUST PLEASE STOP CRYING!!" Then I proceeded to spill the beans about what I knew of the fellowship of the ring.
