Lara didn't answer him. Her eyes glanced at someone behind Merry. Merry turned and saw Pippin.
"Hey Merry!" Pippin yelled, "is that the girl you bumped into?" Merry ran up to Pippin and covered his mouth.
"SSSHHH! Not so loud." Merry told him. He turned back to Lara and apologized.
Merry introduced Pippin. "This is Peregrin Took. " Pippin kinda shoved Merry to the side and cut in front of him.
"But you can call me Pippin." he smiled at her. "Do you want to go to Bilbo's Birthday celebration with me?" He asked. She looked at him all confused. Merry cleared his throat.
"Uh Pip.. she's never been outside this farm." He explaind to him. Pippin gave Lara a weird look.
"Why not?" He asked her. She looked back at where Farmer Maggot's house was. "I live here. I actually work for him. I had no place to stay and he said if I work for him everyday, he would provide me with food, clothes, and a place to sleep." She explaind.
"Why don't you just stay with your parents." Pippin suggested. Lara looked at him but didn't answer. Merry looked at Lara and saw the expression on her face. She looked like she was going to cry.
"Pip can I talk to you." He pulled Pippin aside, "What are you doing? Stop asking her questions. What are you doing here anyway?"
"I was bored and I knew you were over here. I want to get to know her. I think she's pretty." Pippin explaind. Merry rolled his eyes.
"You don't just ask someone you dont even know to a party. How do you know she can even go?" Merry questioned him. Pippin shrugged his shoulders.
All of a sudden they heard Farmer Maggot come out of his house calling for Lara. Lara ran to Merry and Pippin.
"You have to leave! If he sees you guys I'll get in trouble!" She yelled at them. Merry pulled Pippin and started running. Farmer Maggot found Lara and saw the two Hobbits running.
"Lara go after them!" Farmer Maggot yelled. Lara ran after them.
Merry and Pippin jumped off an edge of a hill, ran into the forest, and hid behind a bush. They waited to see if Lara was still following. Lara followed until she came to the ege of the hill. She had to stop because that was the farthest she could go. Farmer Maggot came behind her.
"Lara you mutt! You let them get away!" He scolded her. "Don't count on having dinner tonight!" He turned and started walking back. "Get back to work!"
"Yes sir." she answered. She stared out into the forest looking to see if she could spot Merry and Pippin, but she couldn't. She sighed and looked down. She noticed her bracelet was missing. "Could this day get any worse?" She took one last look at the forest. Then turned and went back to finish working.
Merry felt bad that he got her in trouble again. Pippin stood up.
" Merry we better get out of here before he comes over here again." Pippin helped Merry up. "Lets go to Frodo's house for dinner." Merry dusted himself off and walked along with Pippin.
"Did you hear Farmer Maggot? Because of us Lara is not going to eat tonight." Merry started telling Pippin.
"Do you think she will go with me to the celebration?" Pip asked not paying attention to what Merry had just said.
"Honostly No! Gosh just forget it!" Merry yelled, "lets just hurry so we can go eat."
When they arrived at Bilbo's house, where Frodo lives, they knocked on the door.
"GO AWAY! THE PARTY IS TOMMOROW!" Bilbo yelled
"Bilbo! It's us Merry and Pippin! We were wondering if we can have dinner with Frodo!" Merry yelled. Bilbo peeked out the window and saw it was them. He opened the door and apologized.
"Frodo is in the dining room." Bilbo told them. Merry and Pipping went into the dining room and sat down with Frodo.
"Hello Frodo." Pippin greeted. Frodo looked up from eating his dinner.
"Hello Merry. Hello Pippin." Frodo replied "you welcome to grab some dinner"
"thanks " Merry grabbed a bowl of vegetable soup with a bread roll and Pippin grabbed almost everthing.
As they were eating Pippin started telling Frodo about Lara. Merry just remembered that Lara wasn't going to eat dinner and he felt bad. He grabbed a bread roll and a couple of apples.
"I'm going to go" Merry told Frodo and Pippin, then he got up,
"where are you going?" Frodo asked. Merry tried thinking of a lie so Pippin wont come along with him.
"I'm going home. So I can bathe and go to bed." he replied.
"Well I guess we'll see you tomorrow then. Goodbye." said Frodo. Merry smiled and said goodbye. When he got outside, he started walking towards the direction to Farmer Maggot's farm.
"Hey Merry!" Pippin yelled, "is that the girl you bumped into?" Merry ran up to Pippin and covered his mouth.
"SSSHHH! Not so loud." Merry told him. He turned back to Lara and apologized.
