Disclaimer: Money! Money! I own everything! suddenly wakes up :( I own nothing; accept a group of very drunk hobbits.

Title: Changes for the better.

Author: blue eyes in the shadows.

Pairings: You have to ask? Well so far S/F but I might pair her off with some one else, heheheh just kidding, or am I? ;) P/M, but Merry might meet some one new, hmm or maybe not. ;) The rest are a closely guarded secret, guarded by Gollum.

Gollum: My precious pairings. Evil laugh

Setting: Beginning of the Lord of the Rings, the fellowship.

Summary: AU what if at the start of Lord of the rings the fellowship, almost half the fellowship were girls? What if your favourite character was a girl? What if they started to change things? Would it be for the better for the quest or the death of them all, especially when some start to fall in love?

This fic is going to be a mixture of the movie and books, so some parts people might know and others won't. This is kind of what if fic, I'm going to try keep the characters to their characters, and I apologise if I don't. I might not continue if people aren't interested. Well that's my author's note, lol enjoy the fic! Hope this idea's original, because I've not seen one like it, but not to say there isn't one. This chapter is a kind of serious one, :)

Chapter Six: Insert Merry and Pippin

Frodo and Sam both walked along in silence through a field full of crops.

'It's been a weird couple of days hasn't it Mr Frodo?' said Sam nervously.

Frodo nodded not really looking at her.

'Mr Gandalf must really trust you, to let you take such a big burden.' She paused looking at him with big eyes.

Frodo just stayed silent.

'Is there something the matter?' asked Sam nervously. 'You've been quiet ever since Gandalf left us yesterday.'

'I'm fine Sam,' he muttered.

'Maybe we should go back.'

'You know what Gandalf said. I'm the one who should be worried about you, you've never been this far out of the shire.'

Sam smiled gently. 'It doesn't matter, I got to meet elves yesterday.'

Frodo smiled lightly.

'Wonder how Merry is?' muttered Sam nervously, 'She'll be worried about me, and when she comes to see if I'm okay, Gaffer will give her a good talking to.'

'I'm sure she'll be fine.' Said Frodo, he suddenly stopped. 'You're Gaffer won't make you marry Ted when you get back will he?'

Sam chewed her lip nervously, 'I don't know Mr Frodo, I don't want to but I've got to respect my Gaffer's wishes after I'm going to disappear for a while, he'll be worried.'

Frodo turned to look at her with big blue eyes, 'would he be happy if you married some one else?'

Pain passed through Sam's eyes, and she looked down. 'I guess he would Mr Frodo, there are many respectable hobbits in the shire.' She muttered.

'Sam, I don't mean that I need to tell you something.'

'What Mr Frodo?'

'Sam I l-'

He was suddenly cut off by loud yelling.

'You come back with them vegetables!' yelled an angry voice.

'Run faster.' Shouted another one.

'Mr Frodo,' said Sam quickly, 'I think we better run.'

They were both suddenly pushed to the ground by two blurred shapes.

'I think we hit some one Pip.' Said an annoyed girl's voice.

Sam suddenly opened her eyes, she'd had shut after she'd fell. 'Pippin?' she asked the figure who had knocked her down.

He suddenly laughed, 'Hi Sammy,' he got up and offered her a hand.

'Sam,' yelled Merry, pushing Pippin out the way to hug her, 'We've been so worried, Gaffer said you were gone and you never turned up at my house. So I thought you were gone for good.' She said quickly.

Pippin laughed, 'Should have seen the look on Ted's face when he got to your house and you were gone. He marched straight up to Bag end only to find Frodo was gone as well.'

'There's rumours going around Sam's killed Mr Frodo and stole his money.' Smiled Merry.

'I'm not dead.' Groaned Frodo from the ground, I just feel it.'

Pippin smirked, 'so you're the reason Sam's run off, couldn't you of told us about your running off to get married? We were worried.'

'Married?' spluttered Sam.

'Where's my Vegetables?' a fierce voice suddenly yelled.

Merry smiled nervously and suddenly took off in a sprint across the field.

'Come on!' yelled Pippin, quickly following her, with Sam and Frodo running not far behind.

'Stop!' yelled Merry. But it was too late and all off them collided into each other and fell off a steep hill. They landed with a loud thud.

'That hurt,' groaned Pippin, slowly getting up.

'Didn't for me,' smiled Merry.

'That's because you landed on me!' muttered Pippin.

'Remind me not to go anywhere with you two again.' Muttered Frodo, getting slowly up.

'This is quite good compared to last time,' smiled Pippin, 'Remember Sam.'

'I try not to,' she replied, from the soft grass where she had landed.

'But it was so fun,' laughed Pippin.

Merry suddenly got up and glared at Frodo, 'What's the big idea of running off with Sam and not leaving so much as a note?'

'We had to Merry,' muttered Sam.

'No you didn't.'

'We had important business nobody was supposed to know,'

'You can't even tell your own best friend?' yelled Merry.

'Err Merry.' Muttered Pippin nervously.

'We thought Ted had done something to you!'

'Merry.'

'What?' She suddenly stopped noticing the deathly silence around them, and the ground slowly shaking.

'What's going on?' asked Pippin noticing a deathly pale Sam and Frodo.

'Do you hear that?' whispered Sam. 'It sounds like horses.'

'We need to get off the road now!' said Frodo quickly.

'But they could probably help us,' muttered Pippin.

'Pippin and think we should do what they say,' whispered Merry, feeling nervous.

She grabbed his hand and pulled him behind a tree with Sam and Frodo.

Angry horse's steps echoed around the trees as a dark figure made their way to the path near where the hobbits were hidden.

'What the-' Merry quickly put a hand over his mouth, as the horse kicked the grass angrily.

'Baggins,' hissed a voice, from a cloaked figure jumping quickly off the horse.

Merry gripped Pippin in shock.

The cloaked figure quickly sniffed and let out an ear piercing scream.

Sam whimpered quickly, hiding her face on Frodo's shoulder. She suddenly noticed his eyes were oddly bright and he was slowly reaching a finger out towards the ring. She gripped his hand quickly, and suddenly he shook out of his daze just as the creature screamed and jumped on its horse galloping away.

'What was that thing?' whispered Merry.

'I don't know, Gandalf never said.' Whispered Frodo, who was now holding a shivering Sam.

'This is something big isn't it?' asked Pippin.

Sam nodded at him.

'We need to get to the Bree.'

'The quickest way is by Ferry crossing.' Said Merry, seeming to snap to her senses.

'I know a short cut,' muttered Pippin, 'come on,'

They all quickly hurried after Pippin who was running quickly through the trees.

'We need to stay off the roads.' Shouted Frodo.

Sometime later in the darkness, they reached the Ferry crossing. Sam was shivering, peering anxiously into the dark depths of water.

'I don't like water.' She whispered.

Frodo gripped her hand and pulled her quickly on a wooden raft.

'Come on,' muttered Merry, pulling the ropes of f while Pippin pushed off with a wooden oar.

An angry scream pierced across the night. Just as the boat got further into the water.

'I can see that thing.' Muttered Pippin, staring to the shore line where an angry cloaked figure was screaming.

'There's not another crossing for miles.' Said Merry, smiling in relief.

'I've got a feeling that's not the last we see of them.' Shivered Sam.

Okay, all done. I hope everyone reading it liked it, sorry it's a bit movie verse at the minute, and I'm going to go more by the book soon. Please review if you liked it, Sorry it took so long, I'll try and get the next chapter out quicker.
