Has anyone seen four hobbits? Chapter 3: Pippin at the restaurant...s Author: Minnie

Disclaimer: I own nothing but myself, the plot and the made-up-characters (like the waiter)! M/N: So, now I've found Frodo, and Pippin's next! Summary: I lost Frodo, Pippin, Merry and Sam when we were having a picnic, and first I found Frodo, and now I'm on my way to find Pippin, with Frodo by my side. well, I've tied us together with a band around our wrists, so I don't lose him again. *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^* "Hey! Slow down, please!", Frodo shouted. But Minnie ignored him again. She had to find Pippin now, and didn't have time to slow down. Frodo just had to run, either he wanted it or not. Finally, a restaurant! Minnie ran even faster then before, and soon she were outside the restaurant, and went in. She walked up to a waiter. "Excuse me, but have you seen a hobbit come in here?" "A. hobbit?" "Yes, he's looking kinnda like Frodo here", Minnie said, and pushed Frodo in front of her. The waiter eyed him suspiciously, and the shook his head. "Nope, haven't seen someone looking like that" "Dang! Where can he be? But thanks anyways!" "Well, if you're sure he's at a restaurant, you can always check the one that lies two blocks down" "Really? Thanks again! Bye!" Minnie ran out again, with Frodo after her. The waiter looked after them. 'Kids', he thought, 'they've got so many fantasies.' Minnie ran to one restaurant after another, but she still couldn't find Pippin. Finally, she sat down on the pavement, leaned back at a wall. "Where in Middle-Earth is he??!" "Ahem, we're not in Middle-Earth now, Minnie.", Frodo pointed out. "Aww, it's just a thing I say, 'k?!" "Fine, fine, don't bite my head of.!" *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* Not far away, Pippin sat on a bench. He had got tired by walking around to find somewhere to eat. And the reason to that was that he simply had walked along the wrong streets, but he didn't know that. He sighed. "Why can't I find any place where they have food? I'm huuuuuungry!!!" A woman who walked past him turned around. "What did you say?" "I'm hungry!" The woman sat down next to him. "Where are your parents?", she asked. "At home" "But why are you here alone?" "I was with Minnie, Frodo, Sam and Merry on a picnic, and then we decided to do something else 'cause Sam got bored. And then we all went in different directions. Now I can't find food, or my friends!" "Okay, what's your name?" "Pippin Took" "Well, Pippin, follow me home, and I can give you some food, and call your parents" Not that Pippin understood what she meant with calling his parents, but since she offered food, he nodded and followed her home. *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* At that moment, Minnie stood up. Frodo had fallen asleep where he sat. "Frodo! There's a Ringwraith coming!!!", Minnie screamed. Frodo flew up and tried to draw his sword, when he realized Sting wasn't there, and he also realized Minnie had joked. "No fun...", he growled, but got a bit happier when Minnie gave him a cookie. "Now", Minnie said, while Frodo munched up the cookie, "we have to find Pippin. Come on!" She started to run, and Frodo had no other choice that to follow her. *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* Pippin sat in the women's kitchen. Her name, had she told him, was Claudia. Now she put a plate with potatoes and chicken in front of him. Pippin immediately started to eat. Meanwhile, Claudia picked up a telephone directory, and started to look for the name Took. Suddenly she heard someone shout "Pippin! Pippin, where are you?!". She walked over to the window, opened it, and saw a girl all dressed in lime green, and a little boy that looked almost like Pippin. "Hey, girl!", Claudia shouted. Minnie (of course) Stopped and looked up at her. "Huh? Me?" "Yeah, you! Are you searching for a boy named Pippin?" "Wow, how could you guess?" "Now, don't be rude, young one! I've got a Pippin up here, maybe the one you're looking for!" "Okay! I'm coming up!", Minnie shouted, and went inside. "So you better get this party started...", she said to herself and smiled.

When Minnie pressed the doorbell, Claudia opened and showed her to the kitchen. Pippin was just finishing of his meal. "Pippin Took!" Pippin jumped high when he heard Minnie's voice, and turned around. "Oh... Hi, Minnie!" "I'm really sorry, miss, he ran away from me" "Don't worry, he hasn't been a problem. I had food left from my dinner. Are you two relatives?" "Yeah, I'm... eehh... his sister!", Minnie said, and crossed her fingers behind her back. "Excuse me for asking, but... Why does he have hairy feet? And your friend has got it too. He's also your brother?" "Umm, yeah... They've got a terrible disease that gives them big hairy feet and makes the just one metre tall" "I've never heard of that..." "No, it's... kinnda unusual around here. It comes from... eehm... Tristan da Cunha" "What?" "It's an island in the Atlantic Ocean (M/N: It is, actually!)" "Okay..." "Now, if you excuse, we have to leave. Come here, Pippin!" "Bye!"

Well out on the street again, Minnie took up another band, and tighed it around Pippin's wrist, and then 'round her own. "Oh, Pippin, you should be glad that you got that food for free, I haven't got so much money on me, you see... But, now I've found the two of you, let's find Sam and Merry! Hmm, let's see, first I'll try to find Sam, because of his teenage behaviour. Merry's probably at some mental hospital right now, and it would be easy to find him.. I hope... Well, hurry up!" And with that, Minnie speeded of, while the two hobbits tried to calm her down... *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^* So there, finished! Okay, so this was shorter that the one 'bout Frodo, but I ran out of ideas! Plz let me get 6 reviews (flames not counted), and I'll continue it. Next up: Sam, I've actually wrote half the chapter! Cheers!

And BTW, J.C. Rocket and Lydia, if you're reading this, Pandora begged me to give you this message (from her review): Okay Minnie, I really didn't want to make your story into a message board, but when someone insults both the story and the reviewers, I gotta say something. So Lydia, do you mean that just because I happen to be Minnie's friend, I'm a liar and I'm only reviewing this story because I feel I have to? WRONG, WRONG, and WRONG! I happen to very much enjoy this, since it is very funny, and I must admit that I do not see how ending up with four hobbits make Minnie a Mary Sue. Do please explain, if you know how to use your brain, that is. But, I'm going to be short and cut straight to the point. I do not think it is wrong to criticize but I think it's wrong to flame, when you o not have a good reason for doing it. And I don't think you have. And who are you calling a liar anyway? I mean, first, you totally flame her, and then, you go and say 'Minnie, I enjoyed your story very much. I hope you continue it.' *cough*Suck-up*cough* I mean, it stinks flattery a loooong way! So before you flame again, or as you would probably call it: "Constructive" (Yeah right!) critic, please m'dear, think over your reasons, and use what you got inside of your head. If it's not empty in there, that is. (I think so!) So Cheerios, Toodles, Ja Mata Ne and Cheers! //Pandora

PS. It's okay to be stupid, my little, silly, moronic, brain-missing friends, so you don't have to worry about being stoned or something like that. After all, you are VERY stupid. Or maybe it's just the fact that you don't think before you write...could be that too...DS

So there, and if you want to flame me just for this, then do so, but remember that Pandora wanted me to say it for her. Cheers again!
