A/N: Hey I know I kinda skipped a lotta stuff...erm...yeah. Oh, BY THE WAY!!!!!!!!! If you dont know the ending, and wanna wait to see the movie, Return of the King, I wouldn't suggest reading this any further becuz this chapter reveals what happens w/ Frodo & the ring (though Im sure it's fairly obvious).
Thanx (please r&r!)

~*~*~
TC and MC stood in a single bedded room. The bed contained Pippin, unconsious from the troll having fell on him.
MC had pulled him out from under the cave troll, and from that moment on she refused to leave his side. When they were being borne by the eagles, and found Frodo and Sam (collapsed after succeeding in destroying the ring), TC expected MC to abandon Pippin. However, MC completely ignored Frodo.
The real clencher, however, was when MC merely lifted a hand in greeting earlier when they saw him. MC was currently stroking Pippin's forehead.
"What's going on?" TC finally asked.
"He's just so cute...and after I rescued him from that cave troll, I realized..." MC paused.
"MC...what did you realize?" TC asked slowly, suspiciously.
"I have...FEELINGS for him!"
"WHAT?!"
"Merry's not the one for me. It's Pippin I want now! Only Pippin!" MC gazed fondly at the unconsious hobbit.
TC blinked and quickly shook her head in disbelief. "Right..." TC hurred off and began wandering in a daze. Merry quickly met up with her.
"Hi." he greeted sadly.
"Hi." TC returned the greeting.
"Do you know why MC's been ignoring me?" Merry asked pitifully.
"Yeah, I'm afraid you lost her, mate. It's Pippin she fancies now." TC informed him, giving a quick head shake, indicating that Merry best not ask about it, because TC herself had no clue.
"Pippin?" Merry repeated, dejectedly. He began creeping towards where Pippin was being housed. "MC!" Merry screamed in agony, then broke into a full-out run. TC paled as she realized what was going to happen.
"MERRY!" she screamed. Merry continued to run. TC sprinted to catch up with hi m. She grabbed his shoulder and whirled him around. Grabbing both sides of his face, TC engaged him in a long, passionate kiss.
~~~
Pippin blinked, then slowly sat up.
"YOU'RE ALL RIGHT!" MC shreiked, and lept upon Pippin, hugging him.
"What happened?" Pippin asked drowsily.
"Frodo destroyed the ring! Well...Gollum bit Frodo's finger off while Frodo was wearing the Ring and then Gollum began dancing and tripped over the edge and fell into the fires of Mount Doom, taking the ring with him. Then we all rode back here on giant eagles!"
"I thought Frodo had been captured?"
"Oh yeah, Sam helped him escape! Come, let's go tell TC and Merry that you're all right!" MC grabbed Pippin's hand and dragged him out of the room, bounding down the streets.
~~~
TC was profusely confessing her love to Merry, trying to get his mind off of MC and Pippin.
"Ever since that first day, when we first met, on the trails, on the way to Bree, I knew you were the one! I wish to spend my whole life with you. Why, I was heartbroken when you almost died after...BRAVELY stabbing that Wraith." TC put her hand upon Merry's chest, for added affect. "It is I, Meriadoc, who wants you now. Forget about MC!" TC was leaning in for another kiss when MC and Pippin came running up.
"PIPPIN'S OKAY!"
"Cool." TC replied nonchalantly.
"PIPPIN!" Merry screamed, and ran over and hugged his friend. When they let go, MC put her arm protectively around Pippin.
"We're going to that banquet now. TC, are you coming?" MC asked.
"Yes." TC replied curtly. "Me and MY MERRY will be there momentarily." TC emphasized the words "my Merry."
MC sniffed angrily and walked off, dragging Pippin with her. TC smiled at Merry, and together they walked to the banquet.
~~~
Frodo and Sam sat at the table, they wondered why they hadn't seen any of the other hobbits. They had been sure that by now, MC would have found Frodo.
When they did spot the four others, however, they got a bit of a surprise.
MC and Pippin were sitting together, flirting. They looked over and saw Frodo and Sam. Frodo yelped, then jumped down off his chair and hid under the table.
"Did she see me?" Frodo asked Sam.
"I don't think so--wait, she's waving! Now she's...she's clinging to Pippin! Mr. Frodo!"
"What?"
"I think she's over ou! I do believe it's safe to come back up now~"
Frodo tentatively climbed back onto his chair. He was eyeing MC the whole time.
"Looks like Merry got over MC, as well." Sam pointed out. "Guess there will be no more stalking!"
"What make you say that?"
"Well, for one, he isn't sitting by MC. But, he and TC are over there, together. Looks like they fancy each other!"
"Sam..." Frodo said slowly. "Either something miraculous has happened, or they're up to something!"
"Why do I get the feeling it's the latter?"
"Because with them, it usually is."
~~~
Frodo and Sam searched around for MC, TC, Pippin, and Merry. Something was up and they were determined to find out what it was. After about half an hour, they found them.
"All right, what's going on?" Sam demanded.
"What do you mean?" TC asked.
"When we departed, TC and Pippin--you two LIKED each other! Merry, you were stalking MC, and MC, you were stalking ME!" Frodo yelled in exasperation.
MC laughed. "What would give you that idea? You must have had quite a blow to the head, Frodo, why would I like you?" MC stopped. Then she realized how cruel she just sounded. "I..I mean, as more than a friend! Besides, I don't REALLY like Pippin. I'm just using him to get back at Mer---oops."
"What?" Pippin asked, dejectedly.
TC began screaming at MC. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! NOW PIPPIN LIKES YOU! YOU STOLE MY MAN...er...HOBBIT!"
"Well, you stole Merry from me!" MC countered.
"WHAT? WHEN HE HEARD THAT YOU LIKED PIPPIN INSTEAD OF HIM, HE WAS GOING TO BEGIN STALKING YOU AGAIN! I WAS JUST TRYING TO KEEP HIM FROM DOING THAT!" TC paused to breathe, then continued. "AND WHY WOULD I WANT TO STEAL *MERRY* FROM YOU ANYWAYS?! EW!"
"You don't like me?" Merry's lower lip began trembling. Suddenly he flung himself down and wrapped his arms around MC's ankles. "PLEASE!" he cried. "PLEASE TAKE ME BACK! I'M SORRY I LEFT YOU FOR...TC!"
"No! All you men are just the same!" MC yelled. "YOU MAKE US WORRY THEN TURN OUT JUST FINE!" MC ripped away from Merry and stormed off.
"YOU!" Merry hissed, turning on Pippin. "You are the reason MC won't take me back! And..." Merry turned to TC. "how could you just lead me on like that?" Merry then stormed off in the opposite direction that MC went.
"How could you just fall for MC?!" TC yelled at Pippin. "Just act like I don't exist!"
"Well she did save me from the cave troll..." Pippin defended.
"I WAS GOING TO!" TC screeched and stormed off in yet another direction.
Pippin, Frodo, and Sam were left, all standing, stunned and absolutely confused. After moments of silence, Frodo finally spoke.
"You do realize you guys will have to deal with this on the trip back to Minas Tirith, right?"
~~~
A/N: BTW, if ANYONE knows what happens in the next chapter "The Steward and the King" please inform me of it because I read it and...I dont get it!!! My brain has been fried from school and my reading comprehension (well, really, all my comprehension) has been severely impacted. :/
Thanx (please r&r!)
