Disclaimer: Ok. Ya know what goes here. They dun belong to me, I'm just borrowing them for a liddle bit. ::cries::

Merry and Pippin were searching for mushrooms one day.

"See any Merry?" Pippin asked.

"Not yet, Pippin."

"What about now?"

"Nope."

"Now?"

"No." This sort of conversation went on for about ten minutes until -

"I SEE ONE!" said Pippin, and he dove at the mushroom. "Oh…it was just a mushroom-shaped rock." But the moment Pippin touched the mushroom-shaped rock, he and Merry were both whisked into a rather small and sooty chimney.

"Merry?" said Pippin.

"Yeah, Pip?" said Merry.

"I think I'm stuck."

"Why, Peregrin Took, I think you are." There was a moment's pause.

"Merry?" said Pippin again.

"Yes?"

"Don't use my full name."

"Right."

A loud HO-HO-HO was heard overhead. Both of the hobbits yelled. Falling soot and ash from the chimney walls fell on them.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" they both said loudly, which proceeded in the descending of even more soot.

"Why, I'm Santa Claus! HO-HO-HO!" said an unseen figure above them.

"But……why are you here?" said Pippin.

"The same reason you are! HO-HO-HO!" he said.

"You touched a magic mushroom-shaped stone too?" said Merry.

"No, I was delivering toys to little boys and girls! Today is Christmas, don't you know? I just got stuck in this one, since it was rather small. Have you been good this year?" said Santa.

"Oh. Well, I'm just like any other hobbit in the Shire. I smoke pipeweed, I drink ale, I eat six meals a day –" started Pippin.

"Ah….I see. Well, I don't think that's a good thing, so no presents for you!"

"NO PRESENTS?!" exclaimed Pippin. He started to cry. And then sob loudly. Pretty soon, he was bawling.

"OK! OK! Jeez…I'll give you a freaking present! You can get a new pipe, hobbit, if you can get us out of here," said Santa, finally caving in.

"Yay!" said Pippin. He stopped crying at once, and pulled out the mushroom-shaped rock from his pocket.

"Why do you still have that?" said Merry.

"It looked yummy!" said Pippin. Merry sighed and shook his head.

"OK, little mushroom-rock. Now, I want you to get us out of here. If you don't, we could possibly die from carbon monoxide poisoning, you hear? Now, let us AWAY!!!!!!!" said Pippin. There was a bright flourescent pink flash, and the mushroom-shaped rock took them out of the chimney. When they were transported from the chimney, their clothes and faces became magically clean again.

"That was odd," said Merry.

"Sure was. Now, where is San-San-Sandy Claws? I want my pipe!!" said Pippin.

"He's over there," said Merry.

"SANDY CLAWS!!!!! I WANT MY PIPE!!" said Pippin, running after him. Santa Claus attempted a quick getaway to his sleigh when they weren't looking, but tripped over a rock.

"Pipe," said Pippin, holding out his hand. Santa sighed, and conjured up a pipe.

"Thank you," said Pippin. Santa sat down in his sleigh, and mushed the reindeer.

"Uh oh," said Merry.

"What is it?" said Pippin. He was happily smoking his new pipe.

"Santa crushed the mushrooms."
