A few days after Meriadoc Brandybuck was born:
I really don't see what the fuss is about really. I mean he's just another hobbit child. and do you know what they named him? Meriadoc! I mean even my name peregrine beats that (thank god it was shortened to Pippin).that reminds me. I wonder what his short name is going to be.?
½ hour later: Merry! Can you believe a person CALLED merry??? I mean my OWN parents have gone to hold him and cuddle him. they don't do that to me and I'm their own SON! I don't like Merry thank you very much!
15 years later:
"Merry darling" "Coming to help yooou Mrs. Took. and might I add you look wonderful today" said Merry obviously enjoying the anger that sentence caused Pippin to be. "Might I add what a stupid git you are today" Pippin said childishly imitating Merry. "PEREGRIN TOOK! MIND YOU'RE TOUNGE. HONESTLY I WISH YOU COULD LIKE MERRY HERE. ABSOLUTE GENTLEMEN I MUST SAY!" Mrs. Took shouted. "Humph! Anyway mah. why do I have to work with Farmer Maggots.everyone knows he likes this here git better!" "Coz you're awful with the gardens and stop calling merry a git!" "I wish you would just go away." he muttered angrily. "WHAT DID YOU SAY? HONESTLY. have confidence in what you say, you never hear MERRY muttering do you??" Mrs. Took said, obviously stressing on Merry's name. "I SAID GO TO MIDDLE HELL!!!"
With that I turned and ran past the stream and lake past my favourite apple tree and past Farmer Maggots farm. I slowed down when I came to the River and looked around. A few feet away lay another apple tree, bigger and older than my usual one. It had a nice firm branch high above for anyone to sit. I jogged over to the tree and started climbing it.
I sat on the thick tree branch munching on an apple I just plucked. For the past years of my life, Merry had ruined it. It was always Merry this and Merry that... Well before him everyone thought I was the cutest of all hobbits.but NOOOooOo. it always had to be Merry this Merry that. the whole of the shire depended on Merry! Everyone loved his charm, his looks, his piercing eyes, his character, his wit and 'perfect stupid hobbit build'. Yeah right. the only hobbitses that thought like that was the grown up ones and the lass pearl. Can you believe that! Pearl. apart from her looks she was a downright blockhead! Sweet talking only the hobbits she liked. and those hobbits usually just lasted a week and half! I mean how was ---
"Halloo Pippin" THUD "Oww. I think I broke something." I took out a broken apple core from the back of my head and slowly opened my eyes to see blockhead Pearl staring back at me!
"PEARL?!?" "Well that's not a very nice way to greet lasses!" she said pouting and putting her hands on her hips. "What do you want?!?" I said still obviously lying on the floor in pain. "What do I want? *sigh* I was JUST WONDERING if YOU would like to go out with me till the summer festival than go out with me on the summer festival." "Wha-?" "WELL DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT!?!"
