Summary: Pippin has a question; everyone has a different answer (a drabble.)

 FAR AWAY

“Frodo?”

“Yes, Pippin?”

“Where’s ‘far away’?”

Frodo looked puzzled.

Merry chuckled. “Why do you ask, Pip?”

“All the stories start ‘long ago and far away’, and I wonder where ‘far away’ is.”

“Well, Master Pippin, I think it’s beyond the Brandywine,” said Sam.

Pippin stared. Merry laughed outright. “Beyond the Brandywine isn’t ‘far away’” said Merry, “it’s home!”

Sam blushed. He hadn’t thought how that would sound to the young Brandybuck.

Merry said “It’s over the Misty Mountains, where Bilbo went.”

Frodo smiled. “Pippin, where do *you* think it is?”

Pippin thought a moment. “I think it’s wherever we *aren’t*!”
