(note: oh gosh striders girl you want a sequel to Married With Children? I might...I just might. But for now, here's Forever Young.)

Little Frodo and Sam and Merry and Pippin were happily playing on the street.

Little Pippin and Merry were throwing apples at the carriages that were passing by.

Sam and Frodo were hugging.

"Get out of my yard!" Edward Proudfoot yelled at them.

Merry and Pippin giggled and threw an apple at Edward Proudfoot and ran off.

Sam and Frodo ran into Farmer Maggot's crop.

Frodo and Sam giggled.

Sam took some mushrooms out of his pocket and started eating them.

"Here, Mr. Frodo."

Frodo giggled. "You don't have to call me that. Not until I employ you."

Sam nodded. "Sorry."

They laughed and ran through the crop.

"Get out of my yard!" Farmer Maggot yelled from far away.

Dogs started barking.

"Eeek! I hate those dogs!" Frodo screamed.

They ran even farther.

Suddenly, Sam stopped.

They saw the capsule.

"What is that?" Frodo asked.

"I don't know."

Merry and Pippin popped out of nowhere and fell on Frodo and Sam.

"Get off him!" Sam picked Pippin up off of Frodo.

Frodo stood up.

"What's the meaning of this?" Frodo asked.

"We saw you run in here, and we had to stop and get some carrot" Merry said.

"Mm-hm." Pippin said, chewing on a carrot.

"What's that?" Merry asked, pointing at the capsule.

"I don't know." Frodo answered.

Pippin giggled. "Maybe there's mushrooms in there!"

Pippin ran towards the capsule and started pounding on it.

Sam pushed Pippin and started climbing on it.

Merry and Pippin started to pretend that they were sword fighting.

Frodo and Sam danced on top of it.

Suddenly, it popped open.

The hobbits screamed, and got off, huddling together.

They all peered in.

Gandalf was there, eyes closed.

"That's not carrots!" Pippin said unhappily.

"Touch it, Sam!" Frodo said.

Sam touched his face.

"It's cold."

They all touched it.

Merry nodded. "But what's it doing here in the Shire?"

They shrugged.

"Maybe it's Farmer Maggot's." Sam suggested.

"I doubt that." Frodo said.

"Maybe it's a troll."

They rolled their eyes.

"It's not a troll, Pippin!"

Merry slapped him on the forehead.

"Don't be so stupid, Pippin!"

"I can't help it." Pippin smiled.

"I need some pipe-weed." Merry rubbed his head.

"Only big hobbits can smoke pipe-weed, Merry. You know that." Sam said.

Merry shrugged. "What are we going to do about this?" Merry pointed to the capsule.

Frodo leaned in to look at the man. Suddenly, his hand popped up and grabbed Frodo's jacket!

"Help me! Get it off! Help! Help!" Frodo screamed.

Sam, Merry, and Pippin grabbed the hand and tried to pry it open.

Frodo struggled, and finally twisted himself out of the jacket.

The hobbits ran out of the field, screaming.
