Chapter 6

A/N~ Ok, this was supposed to be Vanessa's chapter, but she had no time and didn't know what to write, so I got it. Christy's POV. I wrote this right before going to bed so beware! Hehehe!

"Ya know, the Shire's very pretty," I said, "but I'd much rather be looking at the insides of my eyelids right about now."

"Aye, you look like you'll sleep well tonight," Merry told me. "Don't worry, we're almost home."

I almost didn't hear the last part because as soon as he said, "Don't worry" I started to sing that song. *Don't worry! Be happy now! * I sang at the top of my lungs.

"No, no, Love. Now's not the time to sing," he chided me.

"Eight days a week, I loooooooooove you! Eight days a week is not enough to show I care!" I belted out for no reason.

"Ok, you're definitely drunk," Merry decided.

"I don't know where you got that idea," I rolled my eyes and burst into song again. *We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. We'd like to thank you once again...* I slurred off into silence, almost falling as my drunken swagger led me to bump into Merry.

"Who knew Humans were so loud when they got smashed!?" Merry thought to himself as I broke into the chorus of "This Boy" (which is one of Dom's favorite songs I found out recently).

As Merry was leading me home Pippin was getting exasperated with Vanessa.

"...And so I said... What did I say? I don't know anymore. Anyway, I really love music. Music is so cool!" she said, not even caring whether anyone was listening or not.

"Are you always like this when you're sloshed?" Pippin sincerely wanted to know.

"I've never been drunk before! I've had some wine every so often, and some margaritas,... and some piña coladas," Nessa confessed. *If you like piña coladas... getting caught in the rain... I don't know the rest of this song... but I like it! *

"There's my hole!" Pippin shouted in relief.

"Oh, good. Now I can go pass out!" Vanessa replied.

~ Back to me ~

"I wonder if I still have any mushrooms at home," Merry thought as he helped me stagger along. (Hey, he's a Hobbit- he's always hungry... just like other people I know...) "I guess I'll find out soon. There's my hole. I wonder why Christy is being so quiet." This was a far cry from when I was singing "All You Need Is Love" for absolutely no reason, other than I like the song. To tell you the truth I was almost unconscious because I was so smashed.

"Here's your bed, Love," he said, helping me into it. "Good-night," I mumbled. "Good-night," he whispered sweetly as he kissed my forehead. I was too out of it to respond to the kiss (unfortunately).

"This was a rather interesting day!" Merry thought as he walked into the room next door to mine. "Tomorrow should be interesting as well," he murmured looking at the invitation, written in gold ink, to Bilbo and Frodo's combined birthday party, set for the next day.

He then crawled into bed thinking that the following day would, indeed, be interesting. In fact, he meant to make it so, with Vanessa, Pippin and my help. He didn't know how right he was.

A/N~ That was fun seeing how many Beatles' songs I could work into one chapter. In fact, all of the songs except for "Don't worry, be happy" were Beatles' songs. Have fun with the next chappie, Nessa!
