Merry and Pippin again! This story takes place right before Theoden, and Gandalf come riding up to the gates of Isengard and see our two favorite halflings sitting on the gate, smoking and eating. I had fun playing with the salted pork thing.... PLEASE POST REVIEW

“Well?”
“Nope.”
“How about now?”
“Nope.”
“Now?”
“Look, Pippin, if you’re so keen upon greeting them, then YOU look and I’ll eat!”
“No, no, you’re doing a FABULOUS job of looking!!”
*sarcastically* ‘Oh, thank-you. Thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome!”
*rolls eyes*
“What?”
“Nothing…”
“It IS something, I can see- Hey, was that them?”
“Nope.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. You forget the keen Brandybuck eyesight!”
*mumbling* “Keen Brandybuck eyesight…..”
*sigh* “It’s REALLY uncomfortable up here!!”
“You could’ve stayed down here, on top of the gate, but no, you had get up on that tower…..thingy….”
“I see better up here!! Besides, Treebeard told us specifically that Strider and Gandalf and the king would come HERE.”
“So you had to be the lookout.”
“YOU were the one who had to appear all nonchalant when they come, as if you weren’t surprised a bit!” *sigh* “Is it your turn yet?”
“After this…”
“Are you eating all the pork down there?”
*irritated* “No, I am NOT eating all the pork down here!!”
“I don’t believe you.”
“Come down and see for yourself!”
“Are you kidding? It took me seven tries to get up here!!”
“Then stay put and let me eat all the pork!”
“Aha! So you ARE eating all of it!”
“Maybe.”
*sigh* “Don’t make me come down there and steal some.”
“Too late. I ate the last.”
“WHAT?!!? JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL I GET DOWN THERE!!” *scrambling noises, THUD* “Ouch.”
“Why’d you go and jump? You smushed all the food!”
“It’s called FALLING, Pippin. Hey.. there’s still pork left!! You sneak! You lied to get me down here.”
“Well, I’m right. You can see just fine from right here.”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
“You can get back up now, if you’d like.”
“I just might- They’re here!!!” *ahem* “Welcome, my lords, to Isengard!”
