A/N: I've always been wanting to write about Pippin and Diamond, and I thought it would be cool to write not only about them but to expound upon what happened to all four hobbits when they returned, love-life wise. So, I hope you enjoy! ~Concetta.

So
A glass-shattering shriek rent the Shire air. It was soon followed by: "I'll get you for this Peregrin Took!"
It never failed. Each time Diamond of Long Cleeve came to Hobbiton to visit her Great-Aunt Flora, Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took were visiting their cousin, Frodo at the same time.
The recent offense that created such a commotion was a frog had been placed in Diamond's sewing basket by Pippin. The Long Cleeve lass wasn't the only one to suffer, though. Her poor friend Estella Bolger had the sugar in her sugar bowl replaced with salt by Merry. What a fine afternoon tea she had that day!
One day, while at a picnic, Estella had joked to Diamond how she and Pippin bickered like an old married couple.
"Please, 'Stella, don't be vulgar!" cried Diamond.
Pippin was in earshot and exclaimed: "Miss Bolger, I just ate!"
Fortunately, since Diamond lived in way-off Long Cleeve, and her visits to her aunt were not extremely numerous, given the distance, she did not see Pippin very often. And when word finally reached her of a rumor that Frodo Baggins had not really moved to Crickhollow, but was embarking on a secret journey with his servant Samwise Gamgee, plus Meriadoc and Peregrin in tow, Diamond was visibly concerned, until she heard the name 'Peregrin,' then she said, "Good riddance!"
