OH GOD THE FEELS! How could you do this to me? I must oneshot this now. As soon as my tears stop and my whimpers die down. I can only do a sentence at a tiime before the feels are too much and I have to take a few breaths to calm down.

Oneshot: Gandalf's Memories

"Game over," Legolas says as he holds tears at bay. The two hobbits that danced and sung upon the table reminded him of two friends he had lost long ago. Briefly Legolas caught Gandalfs eyes and the white wizard quickly looked to the two dancing hobbits. He smiled and clapped along with them."

"You can search far an wide
you can drink the whole town dry"

Hopping up and down on their one foot closest to the other they tapped their outter feet together and Pippin kicked a man's drink right into him. Gandalf laughed and his smile dimmed, why after all of these years did he have to think of those three, more specifically the youngest two.

"but you'll never find a beer so brown
but you'll never find a beer so brown
as the one we drink in our home town
as the one we drink in our home town"

Merry and Pipen had hooked arms and danced in a circle around each other, their pints splashing and spilling but neither had cared. They stopped circling each other and bounced in front of each other. But Gandalf didn't see two male hobbits dancing in circles, he saw two young male dwarves doing acrobatics. The ale that spilled wasn't ale but many of Bilbo's mothers dishes. And it Was not Merry or Pippin that danced

"you can drink your fancy ales
you can drink em by the flagon
but the only brew for the brave and true..."

Pippin began to trail off when he noticed that Gandslf's smile had begun to fade. The white wizard wasn't seeing Pippin look at him, but Kili's curious gaze with fear as the battle was about to begin.

"Pippin!" Merry called and Pippin looked back at the male who was like a brother to him. Hearing the Hobbits name Gandalf smiled again and remembered where he was. He hid the tears he wanted to shed for the two boys he'd grown to love before as close friends. Instead he pushed the memories of Fili and Kili to the back of his mind and thought of Merry and Pippin. Hidden in the depths of his mind, but the two were never forgotten and on this quest the thoughts and sorrow would quickly and easily come.

"but the only brew for the brave and true

comes form the green dragon"
