Pippin and Merry were ready to get into some fun, as they called it. They already ate breakfast and had just finished second breakfast when they decided to have fun. They walked outside and stretched their legs. It was a beautiful day outside. They wanted to do something they had never done before and they can enjoy themselves.

"Any ideas Merry?"

"As a matter of fact, how about trying to finish up Bilbo's book."

"Ah, Merry, your a genius, now its how to get in that is the question."

"Breaking in is to risky. We can't afford that, to many people around the house."

"Merry, How about knock-and-run-into-the-bush-and-wait."

"No I was thinking more like climbing in through the back window."

"Yeah it always open, I hope to day's not an exception. It has to be quick."

"Ready?"

"Yeah, lets go Merry."

With that they were off. To Bag End, where many people were standing around, they knew this would be an advantage and a disadvantage.

"The kids Pip makes sure they don't follow..."

"Yeah they can get annoying and..."

"No, they will go and tell their parents about us."

"Right"

On they went into the line and slowly but unnoticed they slipped out of the line and behind the house, where they found Gandalf and Bilbo. They ducked behind some bushes. Gandalf and Bilbo were smocking pipe weed, and discussing previous adventures. Merry and Pippin had a brief discussion about either going to Bag End or hearing it live in a discussion where two account were told. They decided to go inside, Pippin won this argument. It was better to be inside. They slowly climbed over to the window. Merry gave Pippin a boost up then Pippin pulled Merry up. They were in. All they needed now was to go into the study.

They had to walk quietly and search the house for people and open windows. Primarily they were looking for Frodo to make sure he wouldn't catch them.

"Pip, mind the windows, watch it or they'll watch you," whispered Merry.

They sneaked past the windows ducking as they went. They went into the lavish rooms where the fire was dimming. The brilliant sky from outside shown through the windows. The house did not creak, it was silent and still. They made their way around the house easily enough. They had to be silent because they could hear voices from outside. They waltzed through the room in search for the book. When they came to it they were in awe. They book was almost complete, all the pages were ruffled up therefore the book looked like it was permanently being held by someone half open.

"Pip, do u hear anything?"

"Not really", Pippin being completely oblivious to the soft bristling from outside. "Its probably the trees."

"Ok, ill start reading:" Merry sat down and up right ready to read. Pippin sat next to him awaiting the reader.

"Concerning Hobbits:"

"Merry we've already read that part move on to the end. "

"Urg! Ok Lets see." Merry flipped through the book and came across a page he had not read. He flipped back two pages and sure enough here was a new chapter that Bilbo had not finished.

"Alas, I found it. Ready?"

Pip nodded his head vigorously. Merry in took a breath of air he opened his mouth ready to read but was stopped by a horrible sound, monstrous and terrible noise entered his ears.

"Well you know Gandalf it wasn't all that bad. I recall have much fun during this adventure."

"Yes Bilbo, you did, your were drunk and you did not stop jugging that infernal drink till their was no more. No one was able to take it away from you."

Merry shut the book and put it back on the pedestal where he had found it, Pippin ran to the window but no luck they were locked in. They heard the voice approaching.

"Come to my study I think I have a little more pipe weed left." Bilbo was close and it seemed by the footsteps that Gandalf was fats approaching.

They looked around their was a couch... no, the desk... no, the closet...no they were going to look through it.
