...who wanted Merry and Pippin talking about Diamond and Faramir...




“Well, Pippin, you’ve a lad, now!”

The grin grew even wider. “So I do. After three lasses, it’s very nice.” He gazed fondly at the tiny one in his arms.

“Like father, like son,” laughed Merry.

“It’s a tradition, it seems. Father had been telling us all along it would be a lad, for that very reason.”

“So now that you’ve got little Faramir, will there be any more?”

“That’s entirely up to Diamond. Not that I would ask her right now, you know.”

Merry nodded. “I *do* know. Wise hobbit.”

“She really is amazing.”

“I know she is, cousin.”

*bounces happily, amazed* *This* one came out at 100 exactly, the first time with *NO* tweaking at all! That never happened to me before, and I don't expect it ever will again!!!

Hobbits in love... :) Very nice! I never manage to get them at exactly 100 words without tweaking a lot. Either I have something longer I have to cut or I have almost enough words and the last sentence won`t come. :)

That's my normal experience as well: either over or under. That's why I got so excited!

How awesome! That's like a one in a million chance :P

I know. I don't guess it'll ever happen again.

Loved it! And bows to you for the creation of a drabble at exactly 100 words on your first try. You astound me.

So, I guess that's what you were hoping for? *grin*

I astounded myself. I've always had to either add or subtract words to equal 100, so to get it that way is truly a fluke. I certainly don't expect it to happen again.
