very good writing, and a good story. in the movie they don't explain what happened between when they found out about the quest and when they left for it. there are only a few typos that i noticed... you spell "Pearl" as "Peal" a couple of times :-)

hm...what's up with pippin? please continue soon!

Wow! That was a wonderful insight! I love how Pippin is trying to avoid all sorts of awkward explanations and how the Tooks respond to his "queerness". Very good!

Good description about Pippin's last night with his family. I realize that he couldn't tell him that he was going away for a long time because they might try to stop him and the others from leaving.
