Chapter Forty-eight: Hamster in the water bowl
Disc: LOTR not mine
A/N: yeah, this'll be another short one. Sorry. I'm really getting writer's block. School's gonna start soon so I might have trouble updating as often as I'd like to. Oh! Btw..do you guys really think Holly is two faced? That makes Holly sad (um.yeah..hi..Author is Holly..)..oh well.
"So.when and how did pip and you.well.confess how you felt about each other?" The boys had gone out to talk to the Ents and keep watch at the gate before it got too late, as night had already fallen.
"It's actually kinda weird. After we met up again at the Ent haven we just sort of were together from then on. We never really exchanged words, we didn't need em."
"*sniff* That was.beautiful."
"Shut up!" A pillow smacked Holly in the head as Rachel walked across the room and sat at the table, picking up and examining an apple. She smirked, "What about you and Merry?"
"He saved my life at Amon Hen, and then when we reached the edge of Fangorn he sort of confessed his feelings for me. Then he attacked me this afternoon, and gave me this ring.." she stared down at it and blushed a little. "They probably don't go with the same traditions as us..besides.we're going home." The flushed cheeks went pale and her smile faded. "If.we can get home that is."
"What if..we can't?"
"I dunno, Tricia asked that before we reached Amon Hen. I guess we'll find somewhere to live here. You know? But, I'm sure we'll find a way home." The elder girl said with a small smile.
"What about.the others? You think they're going to give us up that easily?" Rachel stood and walked over to the door so she could watch the two Hobbits stand and talk at the gates.
"I know, but.I think they'll understand that, this isn't our world.and no matter how much they care about us or we care about them, we don't belong here."
The two girls sat in silence, as if letting Holly's words sink in. They didn't belong here, but then why were they there in the first place? Why did they fall for the Hobbits and the Hobbits for them? Rachel walked back to the bed and sat down.
"Holly?" a voice said from the door. Merry and Pippin came back in with some more food from the other huts.
"Yes?" She smiled despite herself as she stood up.
"Are you alright?" He had noticed the sad look on Holly's face when he and Pip had gotten back. She nodded and helped him with the food. They sat down to eat a short meal before going to bed, but they talked a little and joked around to lighten the mood. Rachel played footsy with Pippin under the table.
After dinner Holly and Merry decided to for a short walk while their friends felt it was time for bed.
"Merry?" They were laying at the gates as they felt it would be a good idea to keep watch for the night and let Rachel and Pippin have the bed.
"Hmmm?" He had already been half-asleep. Holly rested her head on his chest and massaged the back of Merry's neck with her hand.
"What would you do if we found a way home?"
"If you wanted to go back to your world? I'd go with you of course." He yawned to try to cover up his sudden flood of worry.
"But.what if you couldn't go with me? Then what?" Holly suddenly sat up and leaned against a pillar. The Hobbit also sat up and wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her closer for a short, sweet kiss.
"Let's not think about it now. Okay? We'll just enjoy the time we do have together, and worry about what we'll do about that when the time comes." He scooted closer to Holly and let her rest her head on his shoulder.
"Alright." The human yawned as her eyes started to close and she drifted into a deep slumber. Merry smiled lovingly and kissed the girl's forehead.
"I love you."
A/N: Sorry.I know..blah.sleep.
