Chapter 1: Merry's Flashback
It's been 18 years ago already but I can't get that memorable day out of my head, the day when I first met her. I was 13 years old at the time. My best friend Pippin and I were playing in Farmer Maggots crops. It was basically the same place where we hung out every day. We were eating until our stomachs burst and we were putting lots of vegetables into our bags to take home. I heard a rustling in the woods. Pippin was too busy eating so I got up and looked around wondering if it was one of Farmer Maggots dogs, or him himself. Then I saw her she was running quickly but I saw her. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. Even though I was only 13 I felt like at that moment I liked this girl. I ran after her. She tripped over on a root in the field and I fell on top of her purposely. She looked up at me a bag gripped tightly in her hand.
"Are you spying on us…" she looked at me if I was crazy
"No I come here all the time" she was about a couple years younger than me "my cousin Pippin is here with you your Merry right? He talks about you a lot" I smiled blushing a bit surprised she new my name
"Yes I am Merry, Merry Brandybuck"
"Well I was just about to leave and um your kind of like laying on top of me I have to get these mushrooms home so I can give them to my uncle"
"Mushrooms" My mind raced nothing could keep me from mushrooms not even this pretty girl. I grabbed the bag from her quickly and grabbed Pippin as he ran with me out of Farmer Maggots crops and back home to my house.
About an hour or so later I heard a knock on the door to my house. It was Mr. Bilbo Baggins. I stepped back seeing Orina behind him. I knew Bilbo from when I hung out with Frodo sometimes. My dad came up behind me.
"Bilbo hey how are you?"
"I'm good but I think your son had an incident with my niece"
"Miss Baggins how are we this evening" I looked at her she was so pretty..What was I thinking guys don't like girls at this age yet..Oh well I didn't care. She curtsied.
"I'm fine Mr. Brandybuck but I would like my mushrooms back please" she shoot me an evil look.
"Oh these ones that Merry brought home" I looked up at my dad. Bilbo shook his head.
"I had sent my niece out to get these for me..She claims your son stole them from her"
"Well then I believe these belong to you" he handed her the bag. I felt like such a jerk. I didn't mean to steal from her its just I LOVE MUSHROOMS. They left after that. I felt like my relationship was ruined before it even begun.
