Conversations Concerning Hobbits by Hobbit Lass21

A Tale of Echoes

The scene where Pippin and Merry are whispering "Are we lost?" "Shh,Gandalf's thinking. "I think we're lost" always delgihts me. *as in, makes me laugh hysterically* So, I decided to play with that more, adding poor Frodo into the mix.

“Where are we?”

“I don’t know.”

“Do you think we’re lost?”

“Probably.”

*from ahead* “YOU KNOW, PEREGRIN TOOK AND MERIADOC BRANDYBUCK, SOUND CARRIES IN THIS MINE SO I CAN HEAR EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU’RE SAYING.”

“Oops.”

“Oops is right, Pip!”

“Well, I just wanted to know. I can’t see my hand in front of my face.”

“I’ve never understood that phrase. Why would you WANT to? It doesn’t help if you’re stuck in a mine or something.”

*behind them* “Merry, Pippin, you’re being very loud.”

“Frodo, We are hobbits. Of course we are loud!”

“I understand, Merry, but I think Gandalf is ready to turn you two into stones and leave you here to mark the way for any other people who might stumble into this place!!”

“Why?”

“Because he gets irritated easily, Pippin.”

“Why would he get irritated at us?”

*sigh* “Because, you are being LOUD, PIPPIN!!!!”

*from ahead* “Frodo, would you PLEASE keep your voice down??”

“Sorry Gandalf.” * to Merry and Pippin* “NOW look what you made me do!!”

*snicker* “You’d better keep it down, Frodo.”

*smiling* “Yes, or else Gandalf will turn YOU into a stone and leave you here!!”

*grumbling* “See if I ever try and give advice to YOU two again…”

“I thought you would’ve learned by now, Frodo, never try and advise a Brandybuck!”

*laughing* “Or a Took!”

“Yeah, yeah…. Move, I’m going to walk ahead with Gandalf. Maybe then I can get away from certain peoples remarks….trust a Brandybuck and a Took…”
