I own none of the characters involved with this story. I’m just borrowing.

The First Band of Middle Earth

Chapter 1 ~ The Idea

Merry: I’m bored… *yawn*

Pippin: Me too… *gets up and stretches* Want to go hang out at the Green Dragon?

Merry: Nah, I’m still hung over from yesterday.

Pippin: I told you pints shouldn’t be introduced to the Shire! You did more singing and dancing last night than you did at Sam’s bachelor party!

Merry: Hey! I’ve got an idea! We could start a band!

Pippin: Sounds great! Except one problem: there is no musical talent in the Shire.

Merry: What about what’s left of the Fellowship?

Pippin: Now that’s an idea! But how will we contact them? The mail service isn’t exactly speedy around here…

Merry: What about email?

Pippin: Email?

Merry: It’s my brilliant invention. I gave a computer to each member of the Fellowship before we parted so we could stay in touch. Except Boromir, that is, you know, since he sort of… departed before the rest of us…

Pippin: Computer?

Merry: *pulls out laptop to demonstrate* Here’s an email from Frodo. It’s some funny jokes.

Pippin: *reads email and laughs* Those are funny! I especially liked the one about the monkey on the bench!

Merry: Ok then. I’ll send a message saying to meet at Rivendell. It should be deserted with all the elves gone.
