Chapter 3: Possessions:

Sam's P.O.V

As I walked home from Merry's house I thought of different things that Frodo would have given me. That chair that he always used to sit in? His clothes? Or maybe something even more valuable? I hadn't even realized where I had been going and I ended up on a deserted street. There were about two houses there and they both looked like they were going to fall down any minute now. They both had broken windows and both had paint peeling off the wall. Maybe I should try to retrace my steps. I turned around and found myself on a street that was not far from my home. As I walked home, again, I thought of going back there and exploring that place. I only have to do it in the morning, for fear that I might trip and fallin the darkness. (A.N. I have no idea what i'm doin. As i said, just makin this up as i go along) I finally reached home and I could hear Gaffer crying. I opened my front gate and closed it behind me. I entered the house where Elanor and Gaffer came running towards me screaming at the top of their lungs. These kids were out of control. Where was Rosie? I heard someone come down the stairs and Rosie started yelling at me for not being home on time and how she couldn't take care of the kids all by herself.

"Ok, I'm sorry. Go to bed and I'll take care of them" I told her. She thanked me and went upstairs. One down, two to go. I picked up Elanor and Gaffer and took them to bed. As soon as their little heads hit the pillow, they were asleep. I chuckled silently and then went to sleep myself.

Merry's P.O.V

I woke up with the sun shining on my eyes. I have to get curtains for those windows. I groaned and rolled over. Looking at the time, I went back to sleep. Waking up a few hours later, I got dressed and had another one of my big breakfasts but this time I was joined by Pippin. He wanted twice the amount of food I was having, for himself. No matter how much you give him, he never gets full, and he's always the same weight, I swear. It's really funny sometimes. I remember a time when Pippin...

Flashback:

Pippin: What about breakfast?

Strider: You've already had it.

Pippin: We've had one, yes...but what about Second Breakfast?

Strider stares at Pippin blankly, then turns away, shaking his head.

Merry: I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.

Pippin: What about Elvenses, Luncheon, Afternoon tea, dinner...he knows about them, doesn't he?

Merry: I wouldn't count on it.

I laughed. Pippin looked at me with a confused look on his face. I told him what was on my mind and he laughed with me. We ended up bending over, laughing like hyenas. After we'd calmed down and ate our breakfast, we decided to go to Sam's house. I locked my door and we were there in no time. Sam opened his door for us and welcomed us in.

Sam's P.O.V

When I woke up, I noticed that the house was very quiet. I hurried downstairs and I found a note on the kitchen table.

Sam,

I have taken the kids out to their babysitter. I won't be home for another few hours because I have other work to finish. I hope that you're ok. If you need anything, call me.

Love,

Rosie

I smiled as I read it. She would be gone for another couple of hours so that would leave me enough time to talk to Tom. I ate breakfast and it wasn't long before Merry and Pippin came. They were a bit early but it was okay. I opened the door for them and invited them inside.

"Did you have breakfast, Sam?" Pippin asked me. I knew where this was going.

"Yes, I did" I said, with a smile. Pippin's face turned into a frown. Merry started laughing because he knew what was going on, too. We sat down and talked about normal things like the weather, grr, food, Pippin's idea, and mostly about Frodo.

I heard a knock at my door. That must be Tom. I opened the door for him and introduced him to Merry and Pippin. He was wearing a bag this time.

"You must be " Tom told Merry, shaking his hand vigorously.

"And you must be Pippin" he said, shaking Pippin's hand even more vigorously. Pippin gave me pleading look and I almost burst out laughing. Tom took out the piece of that he had from two days ago and I saw Pippin and Merry's eyes grow wide. I almost burst out laughing again, but I was still anxious to see what was going to be mine.

"Ok, shall we start?" Tom asked the three of us. Merry, Pippin and I had a look that meant No, instead lets just wait for the grass to grow. Tom must have understood our expressions because he began right away.

"Ok, let's start with Pippin Took.." He reached into his bag and started to pull something out when Pippin gasped. It was a cookbook. (A.N. Srry these these are pretty lame. I cant think of anything else. Lol. The next few are going to be very, very lame.) Tom started reading what Frodo had said on the letter.

"This cookbook is for Pippin Took. May it help him whenever he is in need of it." Tom handed the cookbook to Pippin. Pippin took it from Tom with his eyes ready to jump out of his eye sockets. He began flipping through the pages and Merry and I leaned in to get a closer look. I could see recipes that Pippin loved that only Frodo could make, that tasted the best.

"Now for Merry Brandybuck." Tom reached into his bag, but pulled it out empty-handed. "Unfortunately, , your item is not here. It is still in house. Frodo gave you a chair". (A.N. See what I said about lame?) He started reading from the paper again.

"I am giving away a chair that Merry Brandybuck used to love sitting on. Merry, it's the one that you always sit when you read one of my books". Merry's face gleamed and he nodded.

Tom continued, "Last, but not least, Sam Gamgee". I started sweating as he continued. " left you his biggest possession. His house."

(So how is it? Don't forget to review and give me ideas. Thxxx :)
