The Never Ending Quest - Episode 18043

They knew that safety in this empty room would be only temporary, but any respit from the horrid Manymouths was welcome. The place was full of dust and odd pieces of furniture. The tallest (and by the looks of it, oldest) member of the group surmised it was a nursery... but for what foul creatures he could not guess.

"Well, uh..." began Fred.

"Good show!" shouted the red-headed little man. "my name's Pipsqueak! What's yours?"

"I'm Sir Frederigo D'Honaire, Lord of Suffex, Servant of King Emry of Allaria."

"Ooooooh!" squealed another of the little men, the chubby one. "I'm Meriodicititius Brandybuckmeisterbrau! But most folk call me Doc."

"You are a doctor then?" asked Fred.

"Well, you could sorta say that if you know what I mean, nudge nudge, wink, wink."

"Doc!" yelled the tall elderly man.

"I was just playin'!"

"Well stop it right now!" yelled the tall elderly man in the grey cloak and light blue hat. "Now, now, Sir Frederigo... you have found yourself in quite a stumble, now haven't you! My name is Grandelf the HalfWizard, to my right is Acorn son of Hawthorn and to my left is Boromide, man of the south. The elf is Legoland and the dwarf--"

"Is Loin, son of Groin!" finished the proud dwarf. "My name is mine and I am proud to wear it! My grandfather was Hamstring Stretchalot and my greatgrandfather was Tendon Tightstrung."

"Ahem," coughed Grandelf. "Yes, yes, well now, let us continue. You have met Pipsqueak and Doc, they are both Hobbits of the west. Behind them are Samuel Davis--"

"But most folk call me Sam, or Sammy, or Davis, or Junior because my dah's called Samuel too, or if'n their not in a hurry, well they call me by my full length name: Sammy Davis Jr!"

"Ahem," coughed Grandelf again. "Well, yes, there you are. Anyway, the last of our party is the young--"

"Mr. Dodo!" interrupted Sammy with excitement. "He is Mr. Dodo Pockets of EndPocket in Hobb--"

"Sam," said Grandelf."

"--and he's a very fine Hobbit if you ask--"

"SAM," said Grandelf again.

"--and you better be kind to him cause he's the Bearer of the Thimbel and-- "

"SAM!!!!" yelled Grandelf. "SHUT UP!"

And the talkative hobbit did just that.

"Well now," said Grandelf eyeing Fred with distrust. "We're all of us in a pickle now. That was SUPPOSED to be our little secret and now its out of the bag." The half-wizard thought a moment while everyone shuffled their feet nervously (including Fred). Finally he said: "You have two options, man from Suffex; come with us on our quest, or die."

  1. Fred gasped at the knowledge that the little Dodo had the infamous Thimbel...
  2. Fred gasped that he had such a choice to make and didn't even know what a Thimbel was....
  3. Even before Fred could make his choice the barred door of the nursery shook grievously as something BIG hammered it from the other side...
