My Little Pip

This story is about how Merry and Pippin's strong friendship began and grew stronger and stronger as Pippin became older. I think it's really sweet.

Chapter 11: Searching

Merry ran through the outskirts of the Old Forests where they had been playing, looking for Pippin. After they had figured out that Pippin wasn't with them in Brandy Hall, all of them had immidiately gone out to look for him. It was pouring down freezing rain and they were all very cold, but they had to find Pippin before he sucomed to the cold and rain.

Merry ran and ran deeper into the forest, calling out Pippin's name, hoping for an answer, but his cries were only answered by the echo of his own voice. Just when he was about to collapse with sorrow, he saw something. A dark shape laying on the ground beside a deep creek, half submerged in its freezing cold water. Hoping against hope, he ran to the shape and turned it over. He suddenly found himself face to face with the seemingly lifeless face of his dearest little cousin.
