Pippin the braveheart he is, went back to farmer Maggot's farm and gave him a piece of his mind. Even from across the cornfield Sam, Merry, and Frodo could hear them yelling and bickering at eachother. Merry was chewing his lower lip. It was a habit of his when he got nervous. Soon the yelling ended and the dogs barking began, terrible and vicious. Then the sound of a dogs, two dog's cry could be heard. Little did the three hobbits know, Pippin had kicked them both. He laughed in triumph and carried two minature ponies out of the barn that were hooked to a wagon.

"He did it!" Merry shouted with glee and ran over to Pippin and gave his cousin a hug. "I thought he was going to kill you!" he shouted.

"Who? Magget? Nah. We had a trade." he replied smiling.

Everyone was silent.

"What did you trade?" Frodo asked worried.

"Bag end." he replied.

"YOU WHAT!?" Frodo shrieked and stumbled back, mouth gaped.

"What I do? Was it wrong?" Pippin asked confused.

"You are brave, but you are also incredibly stupid." Sam critisized.

Pippin scratched his head in confusion. Everyone was silent, shaking their heads at Pippin. The only thing their little pointy ears could hear were the sounds of the corn stalks rubbing against eachother, the rustle of leaves, the sound of the spring breeze in their ears.

"OH! Oh.....oh."Pippin said realizing what he had done then kicked the rocks beneath his feet. He looked up at Frodo who was looking at him, clearly not happy. "Sorry Frodo. Didn't mean any harm. You know that right?"

Frodo let out a distraught sigh and slowly nodded. "Yes Pippin, I know. It's just that Bilbo gave it to me to watch after." He paused. "How did you get it anyway?"

Everyone turned to Frodo then at Pippin with an extremely confused expression plastered on all of their faces.

"Yes Pippin. How did you get it." Merry asked as he took a step towards him, causing Pippin to take a step back.

They all looked at him. Pippin looked from one face to another that expected an explanation. He let out a brief laugh and ran away from them. Merry chased him, no luck of catching him however, but the effort was worth it.

Sam took the two ponies by the reigns and guided them back to Frodo's hill, Frodo following behind. When they reached Frodo's hill they noticed that Merry had tackled Pippin and now he was unconcious.

"What you do to Pippin!?" Sam shrieked.

"I tried to get em for Frodo, but I apparently did more than I bargained for." Merry replied looking at Pippin's motionless body on the greystone walk way. Sam sighed shaking his head and mumbled, "Two of a kind." under his breath. They loaded the wagon, putting Pippin in a chest filled with blankets.

"Do we have everything?" Sam asked as he got in the drivers seat.

"Yeah I think so." Merry replied.

Frodo walked out with a bucket of water and put it in the wagon, then turned to Sam and Merry. "Ok. To be fair I think this is what we should do. When Pippin wakes up Sam and Pippin will walk along side the wagon. But until then. Merry and I will. It's for safety precautions." he said as he loaded his bag onto the back of the wagon.

"Ok with me. But who will drive when it's our turn to ride?" Merry asked him.

"It doesn't matter. We both know how to steer a horse......right?" Frodo asked to double check.

"Well...not really. You see, I never-"

"Ok I guess I'll drive then." Frodo said cutting him off.

"Shall we be off, Mr. Frodo?" Sam asked.

"Yes. Yes we shall." he replied smiling and took a whiff of the fresh outdoor air.
