Disclamer: I don't own Pippin or any of these characters as a matter of
fact, god knows I want to but gods often busy...
Summary: Pippin is jumpy around all the adults (non-hobbit's) and the
fellowship slowly piece together why...
Pairings: Merry/Pippin (only mildly though)

Chapter 2
When Pippin woke he found himself in a large bed with Merry beside him. Sam was on the other side of Merry and Frodo was sat on the end of the bed, talking with the human. Merry and Sam were sat up wide eyed after being woken by horrible noises from across the street. Pippin stared at the human, who called himself Strider, absolutely petrified. All at once Frodo, Merry and Sam began packing their things, ready to travel while Pippin just sat confused and afraid. Merry, kind and caring Merry packed Pippin's things for him and managed to stay in-between Strider and Pippin.
"Come, we have not a moment to spare" Strider said going to the door. Merry helped Pippin out of bed and get his pack on and then the four hobbit's followed the human. ............................
"How do we know this Striders a friend of Gandalf?" Merry asked.
"I think anyone with the enemy would look fairer and smell fouler" Frodo said.
"He's foul enough" Merry muttered.
"But where he leading us?" Sam asked.
"To Rivendell Master Gamgee" Strider said suddenly, causing Pippin to gasp and Frodo and merry to stare at him.
"Did you hear that, we're going to see the elves" Sam was reasonably happy about this prospect. Pippin glanced at Merry who smiled reassuringly and took Pippin's hand gently. ............................
"Gentlemen, we do not stop till nightfall" Strider said as he realised the hobbits had stopped walking.
"What about breakfast?" Pippin asked loudly, before clamping his hand over his mouth and lowering his eyes. This was the first time he had spoken since they had met Strider.
"We've already had it" Strider said coolly.
"We've had one yes, but what about second breakfast?" Merry asked. Strider rolled his eyes and continued on. "Don't think he knows about second breakfast" Merry said to Pippin as they prepared to move again.
"But what about Elevenses? Luncheon? Dinner? Afternoon-tea? Supper? He know about them doesn't he Merry?" Pippin asked quietly.
"Wouldn't think so Pip" Merry said sadly, just as and apple came over the top of the bush. "There yah go. He does care" Merry said handing Pippin the apple, just as another one hit Pippin on the forehead. "Pippin! Come on" Merry said as Pippin rubbed his forehead and bit into the apple. ............................
"What do they eat when they can't get hobbit?" Merry asked as he tried to swat some of the annoying bugs. Pippin was about to say something when Sam pushed him lightly to make him go faster but as Pippin was unprepared he fell strait down into the water, getting soaked from top to bottom.
"Sorry Pippin" Sam said as he tried to pull Bill onwards.
"It's ok Sam" Pippin said quietly as he stood up slowly, only to slip again. Merry looked back just in time to see Strider take hold of Pippin by the arm and pull him up.
"Oi! Leave him alone!" Merry shouted, moving as quickly as he could to Pippin's side. Strider was surprised when he pulled Pippin up to find the hobbit whimpering and trying to get away from him and Merry shouting at him loudly.
"Calm down little masters, I mean no harm" Strider said calmly as he walked to the front of the group. Merry took hold of Pippin gently and pulled him into a hug. Pippin clung to him even when they started walking again.
A/N Sorry again that it's so short but I've been kinda busy with Sound Of Music rehearsals and getting ready for the Sea Cadet Inspection but I will try and make the next chapter longer. Review if you want to but you don't have to, flame if you feel like it, it doesn't hurt my feeling unless I personally know you or like your work.
