It was a peaceful moment in the Shire, the home of hobbits, with the birds singing and everything being just perfectly fine. Even though Sauron had just been defeated and the long-awaited peace had finally come to the Middle-Earth, there were still those who needed action in their life.

Meriadoc Brandybuck, or Merry, and Peregrin Took, shortly Pippin, were lying on a soft and fresh grass, completely satisfied in every possible way. After all, they were one the heroes who had been in the Fellowship of the Ring and been part of saving the earth from the dark. Since they were heroes, they had gotten everything they needed, like cigarettes and food for example.

The both of them were just lying on their back, enjoying the gentle breezes of the wind, the touch of the slightly damp grass, the singing of birds, the flowing sound of the river and the utterly beautiful view of the evening sunset. Those were all things they couldn’t do after they were included to the Fellowship, they didn’t know, whether they could see tomorrow or not.

Pippin sighed, ”Hey, do you remember when I touched that stupid crystal ball and in consequence we got separated for awhile?” he asked, his words sounding more like sleep-talking than normal talking. Merry looked briefly at the other fellow slightly grinning, ”Of course. I was afraid that it would be our farewell..But. I’m glad it wasn’t though!” he said happily while sitting up and ruffled Pippin’s hair.

Pippin smiled and also sat up. A silence fell upon them, but it wasn’t an awkward one, it was a silence remembering the adventure they had been trough, a serene one. ”It was quite an adventure..” Pippin said almost inaudibly, yearning could be heard from his voice. Merry nodded thoughtfully.

Then at the same time, both of them looked up. The hobbits turned to look at each other simultaneously, ”Shall we go?” Merry asked enthusiastically and Pippin nodded smiling.
