Author's Note: Okay, moving kinda slow these days, running out of ideas. Anyway, if y'all out there can't handle waiting for the next chapter, you could go read my other story, Judgement. *Ducks as several paper balls are heaved at her* OKAY! It was just a suggestion. It now has a sequel. *Brick knocks her out.*
Audience: YAY!
Carmen: WAIT! I apologize for blowing up last chapter, I was stressed out and- *Tied up and stuffed in a sack*
Pippin's First Love Seven
Pippin and Diamond were content not to set foot on the dancefloor all night. They just sat on the sidelines, holding hands and talking. Merry and Estella were having a good time across the field by the pond, watching Gandalf's fireworks. They weren't the only ones there, but it felt like it. The bright greens and vibrant blues were mingling in the sky like a giant rainbow. As the crowd oohed, and aahed, Merry and Estella just watched and smiled.
After the dance, everyone was walking everyone home but the four, Merry, Pippin, Estella, and Diamond. They sat in a circle, waiting for the inevitable. Sure enough, one of their parents rushed over and insisted they go home, this instant. Estella blushed and apologized for her mother, but they all went home. The walk home was uneventful and depressing but Diamond made it to her door to find all of her sisters home safe and sound. Diamond looked out to the full moon and had the strange urge to howl, just to be weird. She had those urges a lot. Just to be weird and different she'd dance for no reason in the market-place, or catch frogs and put them down the snobby girls dresses.
She took off her dress and threw it in a corner. As she slipped between the cool sheets on the floor of her bare room, she thanked the ceiling that she had her own room at all.

"Right, so I'm supposed to get her to come over how?" Frodo asked his younger cousin. Merry looked around nervously and continued to whisper.
"Nob likes you more than Pippin or me, so you'll just invite her to your backyard for a going-away-party. She'll be allowed to come." Merry explained.
"Right." Frodo responded with a shake of his head. Merry clasped his hands together and fell to his knees.
"PLEASE FRODO! Pippin will absolutely fall apart!" he wailed. Frodo hauled Merry to his feet and looked around nervously as several marketeers looked with mild interest.
"All right!" Frodo cried exasperatedly. Merry cheered and turned and left as if they had simply met on the street. Frodo shook his head and walked towards the home of Diamond and Nob, praying to whomever was listening.
Nob was watching curiously as Frodo skipped up the steps of his porch and smiled jubilantly at him and the twelve others on the small attachment of the house. Frodo ignored the pain as several small children ran over and began to pull on his clothes and kick his legs impatiently.
"Hello Frodo. What brings you here this lovely night?" Nob asked pleasantly. Frodo sighed in relief as Diamond peeled young Mirabella off his left trouser leg.
"Actually, I was going to say that Estella Bolger and uh, Rosie Cotton were arranging a party for the miss here," Frodo indicated Diamond. "if she can turn up in my backyard tonight." he left off, hoping for an answer.
"I guess she can go, Matteus and I can watch the others." Nob said reluctantly. Frodo let his cheer die in his throat as Diamond suspiciously rose to her feet and looked over Frodo's shoulder. Merry and Pippin dove off the road into a pile of dead weeds from the Chubb's garden. She saw them, and smiled as she ran inside to put her book away. It was a good one, Chorlius Miraborear. (A/N: MWAHAHAHA!)
"Thank you Nob!" she shouted over her shoulder as she gathered her hair messily into a ball on top of her head and clipped it. Her small curly tendrils framed her face and neck. She smiled at her reflection as she passed under a mirror that hadn't been moved out to Long Cleeve yet. She caught a glance of their near empty kitchen and felt her throat seize up. Her eyes hurt as she walked out of the wide open door of her house, looking for her escort. Frodo held out his arm jokingly, Diamond, seeing Pippin and Merry trying to sneak away unsuccessfully, took it swooningly. She could almost hear Pippin growl at Frodo from his stance covered in weeds.
"Well, shall you tell me who else will be at this party?" Diamond asked, breaking the ice. Frodo looked at her arduously.
"What? You haven't figgered it out yet?" he asked, amused. She looked flabbergasted.
"Of course I haven't! I'm just a young, naive little girly hobbit!" she replied. Frodo laughed, a sound that hadn't been heard for quite a while.
"Diamond, acting like a girl? You still wear breeches under your dresses for the Shire's sake!" Frodo cried. Diamond smiled, her throat opening.
"All right, Master Baggins, you win." she stopped and unlaced the breeches. She then pulled her dress over her legs and pulled off the breeches. Diamond laughed as Frodo looked on, terrified. She threw the breeches in his face and waited expectantly. Frodo simply handed her the boys clothes with a shake of his head and a smile.
"Diamond, I do believe you will regret that." he muttered. She stopped again and placed her hands on her hips.
"Oh I will? Why is that?" she asked defiantly. He simply pointed to the roadside shadows which had been following them since they left her house. Merry and Pippin launched out of the shade with a laugh. Diamond decided Frodo was right as she tried to keep her dress from flying up in the back as she raced the two lads to Frodo's yard. Frodo arrived moments after Merry won the race, a smile gracing his lips, making him look like an amused parent.
"Now, let the festivities begin!" he cried as Rosie, Estella, and Bilbo walked out from his hole.
Audience: YAY!
