It was a lovely day in the Shire. The sun was shining brightly and hobbits went about their tasks like every other lovely day.

Frodo was in the library of Bag End, reading one of the many books that just happened to be there, when he heard a knock at the door. As he was walking to answer it, he heard laughter. He threw open the door to be greeted by the faces of his cousins, Merry and Pippin, and his good friend Sam.

" 'allo Mr. Frodo. I caught these two troublemakers diggin' in the gar'en." Sam said, hold Merry and Pippin be their collars.

"We weren't doing 'nything wrong! We just wanted to have a look-see at the flowers."  Merry said, stepping in and brushing himself off.

"It's a good thing you came now, otherwise you would have missed the brunch that I was preparing for Sam and I." Frodo replied, heading toward the kitchen.

"Will there be apples? And honey butter? And bread?" Pippin asked excitedly, as he followed Frodo.

"Yes yes," Frodo laughed. "And much more."

All of a sudden, in the middle of the foyer, a great puff of smoke appeared with a boom. When it had cleared, a strange looking girl was standing there.

"Who might you be?" asked Frodo, who brandished an umbrella sword while everyone hid behind him.

Funny-Gal13: I'm a pretty funny gal that likes the number thirteen. But everyone calls me Lilly.

"Well, Lilly, what are you doing here, how did you get here, and why is your text different from ours?" Sam quickly asked.

Funny-Gal13: My text is different from yours to show that I'm not a main character in the story. Only the authoress. The other questions will be answered in good time.

"Well, what do you want with us?" Merry asked, trembling.

Funny-Gal13: I don't want you! I want to give you something.

"Oh! It's your birthday?" Pippin asked, confused.

Funny-Gal13: No! Don't ask why I'm doing it. Just take what I give you and figure out what to do with it. I'll be back later to see how you're doing. (Reaches into her bookbag) This is a 12 pack of soda. (Hands it to Sam) This is a toaster oven that runs on batteries. (A/N: Work with me people!)  (Hands it to Frodo) And this is a Polaroid camera. (Hands it to Merry) Have fun! (Turns around and starts to leave.)

"Hey, what about me?" Pippin asked, running up to the girl.

Funny-Gal13: Well… I was gonna save this, but… (She reaches into her bag and pulls out a brown paper bag) Just don't eat it all or you'll get…

Before the girl could finish Pippin had tasted the white substance in the bag. "Sugar!" he screamed, and ran around the hobbit-hole.

Funny-Gal13: Hyper. Just make sure he doesn't hurt himself. See you guys later. (She leaves.)

"Well, that was odd," Frodo commented as he turned the object in his hands and examined it.

"What do ya' suppose goes in these holes?" Sam asked, gently putting his fingers in, touching the coils.

All the while, Pippin was running around the house consuming all the sugar he could get his grubby little hands on.

Frodo found a button on the side of the toaster and pressed it down. Within minutes Sam was running to a sink, trying to sooth his burning fingers.

"Whacha' have to go and do tha' for?" Sam asked, running his fingers under some cold water.

"Maybe it's used for making toast?" Merry suggested.

"Let's try it." Frodo stuck two pieces of bread in and pushed down the handle. "And while that's working, we'll figure out what these other things are."

"She called these things soda." Sam said, pulling a can from it's cardboard container.

Merry shook the can by his ear, "I don't think there's anythang in it."

"Maybe you should try to open it." Frodo suggested.

"Let me, let me, let me, let me!!!" screeched Pippin, way too high on sugar. He yanked the tab from the top of the can. He was propelled backwards, and he flew against the wall.

"Woah… Let's do it again, let's do it again, let's do it again!" Pippin said, jumping up and down, trying to reach for another can.

"Nuh uh, we're keeping these away from you." Sam said, grabbing the package away from the young hobbit. He held it over his head and watched in delight as Pippin jumped up and down, trying to reach it.

"Mmm…" Frodo tasted a bit of the liquid that had thrust Pippin against the wall. "I believe we are supposed to drink the thingy in the can… thing." He walked over and gently picked up a can, not wanting to experience an atomic explosion, like Pippin had. He popped open the top and brought the can to his dry lips. The other hobbits sucked in their breaths as Frodo took a sip.

"Actually," he said as he took another gulp, "This isn't half bad. Maybe you should try some."

The hobbits quickly gathered around a soon each had drunk three cans each. By this time Pippin was extremely hyper, more hyper then he had ever been in his entire life. He was bond to make trouble.

At this point, the toast popped up from the toaster. Pippin, in his only calm moment (for this entire chapter), gazed at the toast.

"Where did the bread go?" he asked, amazed. Then he shrugged his shoulders, grabbed a piece of toast, and skipped off to find some jam to spread on it.

"Now what about this thang?" Merry asked, turning the thing over in his hands. When he was examining the "thang" his pinkie accidentally hit the shutter button, causing the flash to… well, flash, causing the camera to take a picture of Merry's startled face. He dropped the camera thinking it was possessed.

"Whoa, that thang must be possessed by some devilry created by Sarumon."

"That girl called it a 'camera'." Sam explained, gently picking it up. He also picked up Merry's picture.

"I don't care what it's called! I just want to know what witchcraft that girl invoked upon it to make such a…" Merry grabbed the picture from Sam's grubby hand, "Handsome reproduction of myself." Merry smiled at himself, and admired the picture as he walked into the kitchen.

"I think it's like, a mirror and a watch combined. It shows what you look like at a particular time." Frodo suggested, shrugging. He stood back and took a picture of Sam, and Sam did the same for him. They admired each others pictures and Sam put the camera on the table.

All of a sudden, Pippin burst into the room on a sugar high. He grabbed the camera and started taking random pictures. All of sudden, there was a clap of thunder and a girl appeared.

Funny_Gal13: Hi y'all! I'm back! How did you guys do? I can see…(Looks at the empty soda cans and the brown paper bag that had contained the sugar) that you all are probably a little rambunctious.

"Just a little bit…" Frodo commented as Pippin bounced in, taking a picture of the girl.

Funny_Gal13: Did you figure out what everything did.

"This thang," Sam grabbed the camera from Pippin, "Takes pictures. And this thing makes toast and that drink made us all peppy."

Funny_Gal13: (Smiles) You're right on the button, Mr. Gamgee! (Taps his nose lightly, making him blush) I'd better take these back before you guys get hurt. (Grabs what's left.) I'll be back later! (Disappears)

"She was a nice lady." Pippin said before he passed out.
