Chapter 4
Merry's face turned bright red as the other four screamed, shielding their eyes. He quickly pulled his trousers up.
"Merry..." Mc gasped, after the screaming ceased, "why aren't you wearing any boxers?"
"What?"
"I handed you boxers on the tennis racket." TC said, still closing her eyes. "You're supposed to wear them under your pants." Pippin's eyes widened upon hearing this and he dashed back into MC's brother's room.
"I thought it was a choice!" Merry then ran into the room as well.
"Marie?" Mc's mother called. "What's going on?"
"Crap!" MC pulled Rhia and TC into the bathroom and locked the door. They could hear MC's mother outside in the hall looking for them.
"MC are you having flashbacks too?" TC whispered.
"Yes." MC muttered.
"Of what?" Rhia asked.
MC and TC began to explain about a certain incident that happened when they were on a trip with MC's family up north in the family's cabin for New Year's. The two girls were sitting on the couch and MC's brother walked through the room in a towel (for he'd just showered) and went up the stairs. Somehow it came about that MC and her brother were betting on whether or not he was still wearing a towel once he had gotten upstairs. He proved he was not, much to the girls' displeasure.
They also told another tale from the same trip when the two girls were in their room and MC's brother ran in and under the bottom bunk bed and both girls were screaming from atop their beds for him to get out. He told them, from under the bed, that he'd managed to lose his pants AND his boxers under the bed. Not seeing how this was possible, the girls didn't believe him. They should have.
"Well this is nice and all but it really doesn't help us!" Rhia pointed out.
Then the girls heard MC's mom screaming from the hallway. When defending cries from Merry and Pippin followed, the girls realized that MC's mom must have found them. However, when she began screaming about never letting MC have gay friends over again, the bathroom occupants became a little worried. They heard MC's mom storm down the stairs, to the front door, open the door, shout something, and slam the door.
"MARIE ROSE CARTON!" MC's mother screamed louder than any of the girls thought was possible. MC quickly locked the bathroom door.
"Holy crap she's pissed!" TC whispered, stating the obvious. "What did Merry and Pippin do?"
"That's a very good question." MC replied, eyeing the door nervously.
They then heard a pounding on the bathroom door. It was MC's mom. "Marie Carton I know you're in there! Come out now!"
"Um...it's gonna have to wait a minute mom. I'm kind of...occupied."
"No, we need to talk NOW! Unlock this door!"
"I really can't talk right now."
MC didn't have a choice, as her mother kicked the door open. Her face was bright red, and her eyes showed a tint of red as well. Several veins in her forehead and neck were bulging and there was almost quite literally smoke coming out of her ears.
"Hi Mrs. Carton." TC greeted, looking quite terrified, along with MC and Rhia.
"Tawny and Rhia, get out, NOW." Mrs. Carton commanded through gritted teeth.
TC looked at MC in fear for her friend. "I'll oversee the funeral plans." she muttered before she and Rhia ran out of the room, down the stairs and out the front door. "Oh crap."
"Go think about what's been done in this house today!" MC's mom screamed, pushing MC our the front door. They saw Merry and Pippin. "And you two-GET OUT!" With that, Mrs. Carton slammed the door shut.
"What did you two do?!" MC screamed at the hobbits.
"Merry was putting his boxers on when your mom charged in and saw him and started screaming about gay people!"
"She thought you were doing...dirty things!" MC shrieked. "No wonder she was pissed. Where are TC and Rhia?"
"They never came out."
"Yes they did, my mom sent them out..."
"We never saw them come out."
"Crap. You know what this means?"
"What?
"They're back in Hobbiton."
Merry's face turned bright red as the other four screamed, shielding their eyes. He quickly pulled his trousers up.
"Merry..." Mc gasped, after the screaming ceased, "why aren't you wearing any boxers?"
"What?"
"I handed you boxers on the tennis racket." TC said, still closing her eyes. "You're supposed to wear them under your pants." Pippin's eyes widened upon hearing this and he dashed back into MC's brother's room.
