I just hope that the peeps who read it before will read it again as I want to know what they think. Also thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far.

A Hobbit in Need 2

Kim got up and walked a little bit. She wasn't sure were she was but she was sure she was in the Shire but just didn't know which part. She knew her geography of Middle-earth very well, but it was such a strange feeling being a few feet shorter that it made her feel a bit confused.

Everything seemed so big! She walked through some trees and finally found a path. She followed it and felt to dirt under her feet and it was quiet surprising, as it didn't feel horrible and cold, the path felt warm and lovely because of the sun coming in through the trees and beaming down on it in certain places. She breathed in the air and it was sweet and wholesome, nothing like the traffic poisons that the people of Edinburgh breathed in every day. It smelt of rosemary and fields of wheat as she breathed in deeply, as if when breathing in the Mid-summer Shire air, she was being healed. Everything around her was like a healing light, and when she breathed in, it destroyed the blackness and the dark sorrow that filled her and replaced it with happiness and a feeling of finally being at peace. She suddenly felt like dancing and singing. Which she did and began dancing and twirled her way down the path unaware that she was being watched.

Merry and Pippin were riding through the trees, dressed in their armour and riding hobbit ponies, and they had then seen this beautiful young hobbit girl twirling down the path on the outskirts of the Old Forrest. Neither knew her but both watched with curiosity.

"Merry?" Pippin said trying to be as quiet as he could so not to scare off this Lady of the Forrest that they had found, "Who's that? Is she anyone you know?" Pippin looked at her as she danced but before Merry could answer she started to sing the song of the Ents and Entwives that Merry and Pippin had heard Treebeard sing.

ENT. When Spring unfolds the beechen leaf, and sap is in the bough;
When light is on the wild-wood stream, and wind is on the brow;
When stride is long, and breath is deep, and keen the mountain air,
Come back to me! Come back to me, and say my land is fair!

ENTWIFE. When Spring is come to garth and field, and corn is in the blade;
When blossom like a shining snow is on the orchard laid;
When shower and Sun upon the Earth with fragrance fill the air,
I'll linger here, and will not come, because my land is fair!

ENT. When Summer lies upon the world, and in a noon of gold
Beneath the roof of sleeping leaves the dreams of trees unfold;
When woodland halls are green and cool, and wind is in the West,
Come back to me! Come back to me, and say my land is best!

ENTWIFE. When Summer warms the hanging fruits and burns the berry brown;
When straw is gold, and ear is white, and harvest comes to town;
When honey spills, and apple swells, thought the wind be in the West,
I'll linger here beneath the Sun, because my land is best!

ENT. When Winter comes, the winter that hill and wood shall slay;
When trees shall fall and starless night devour the sunless day;
When wind is in the deadly East, then in the bitter rain
I'll look for thee, and call to thee; I'll come to thee again!

ENTWIFE. When Winter comes, and singing ends; when darkness falls at last;
When broken is the barren bough, and light and labour past;
I'll look for thee, and wait for thee, until we meet again:
Together we will take the road beneath the bitter rain!

BOTH. Together we will take the road that leads into the West,
And far away will find a land where both our hearts may rest.

Once she stopped singing and dancing, Merry was sure that he was under a spell that she had cast upon his head. To him she was even more beautiful than the Lady Galadriel. Pippin also thought that she was very beautiful and was saddened when she stopped singing, as her voice was more glorious than songbirds in the early morning. Kim stopped and sat at the side of the road and took in the morning sunshine. She stretched out, yawning and the gentle quietness of the forrest was making her slightly sleepy.

She then started to feel very hungry and realised that it was about 10 o'clock and most hobbits usually had second breakfast at this time. Then at that minute Merry and Pippin came out from hiding and were riding along slowly on the path and singing songs as they always did. Pippin was singing a song he had made himself by adding "Oh Water Hot" and "Ho ho ho to the pub I go" together:

Hey ho to the pub I go

To heal my heart and drown my woe.

Rain may fall and wind may blow

But many miles bbbbbbbbeeeeeee still to go.

Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain,

And stream that falls from hill to plane.

Better than rain or rippling brook,

Is a mug o beer INSIDE THIS TOOK!!

Kim didn't know who they were because their armour was hidden underneath their cloaks. She stood up as quickly as she could and smiled sweetly not knowing how to act as she had never been around hobbits before in her life.

Pippin stopped in front of Kim and waved at her, "Hello and good morning. Are you out for a morning walk?"

Kim's smile grew wider, "No, I'm just taking in the morning air." Merry said nothing and just smiled at her once or twice looking towards the ground.

"I do not mean to be rude, but may I know your name?" Pippin spoke calmly and politely. Kim thought that he was only the only person in her life that had acted as nicely towards her at any time. He, to her, seemed kind of nature, loving of heart and she liked him right away.

Kim quickly tried to think up a hobbit name, but then thought there was no point in lying, as no one would recognise her, "My name is Kim." She bowed her head slightly when she said this and then stood straight and looked at the two handsome hobbits that she had met.

"May I also know your last name?" Pippin laughed while Merry tried not to look like a total idiot and laughed slightly along with Pippin. He saw Pippin glancing at him and shaking his head and looking like he was trying desperately to hold back laughter.

Kim searched in her head for a random last name, "Bucklerose! My last name is Bucklerose." Kim didn't dare to breath in case they saw right through her and see the human inside. Pippin got down from his pony and bowed low, nearly touching to ground. He then took her hand and kissed it. Kim's smile broadened and she giggle at this gesture of kindness.

Kim was gladdened at this quick display of kindness and gave a deep but silent sigh. When a few moments had past Kim asked giggling, "If you would be so kind as to tell me both your names now, as I have now told you mine?"

Pippin realised his stupidity in not giving his own name and smacked his hand off his forehead, " Please forgive me, it is still to early in the day for me. My name is Peregrin Took, a Knight of Gondor but many call me Pippin." His brow crinkled as he thought for a moment before he spoke again, "Come to think of it, everyone calls me Pippin." He smiled at her then pointed in the direction of Merry, "And this is my dear friend and cousin Meriadoc Brandybuck, a Rider of Rohan. Which most do not remember for some reason, which I do not know of, so everyone calls him Merry." Merry bowed his head and then finally plucked up the courage to say, "Where is it that you live?" Kim again had to make up some excuse and it was hard because her two most favourite characters in the whole of the Lord of the Rings were standing right in front of her, "Eeeemmm. I come from a little valley near the Lonely Mountain." Kim deeply regretted what she had said after she had said it.

Both Merry and Pippin were confused, as Bilbo had never told them of any Hobbits living anywhere but the Shire. "If you would be so kind Mr.Took, could you tell me were it is in the Shire that I am, for I am quiet lost." Kim thought that she should at lest know that before these two rode off to their second breakfast and she would never see them again.

Merry answered, "You are on the outskirts of the Old Forrest. Over those small hills is Brandy hall. My home." Merry pointed over to daisy-covered hills that hid Buckland from view.

"Aye and you should be careful young Miss in this Forrest as many a fowl thing dwells here." Pippin pointed to the trees as he said this, wanting to show her what she must watch for. Merry was worried for her safety as he had grown up around these woods and even then had gotten into trouble with the things that lived there.

There was silence for a few moments as Kim looked off into the maze of trunks that lay beyond the path. Pippin watched her as she did this then glanced at Merry. He then had a brilliant idea, "Would you let us escort to Brandy hall? I would very much like also if you would come and have second breakfast with us. We where just on our way back weren't we Merry?"

Merry was startled by Pippin's quick move to get her to join them, Merry had known from the start that Pippin was up to no good. He stuttered, trying to get the words out of his mouth, "Y-yes. Emm. That would be very nice. A-and you could em tell. Us. About. Your. Home!"

Kim knew that she had really got herself into deep trouble but she agreed at go with them and to join them for second breakfast. Pippin got back on his pony and helped Kim up so she could sit side-saddle behind him and put her arms around his waist so that she wouldn't fall off. They rode slowly down the path, and Kim listened as Merry and Pippin sang songs and told jokes. For once, she felt safe.

Hope you liked this chappy 
