Tarwa: *gets up on stage* Hey everyone! January is finished! Thanks for sticking around for 31 chapters. ;) At the end of every month, I'm going to write a parody and tell you who the winner of the Reader Leaderboard is for the month! So, for the parody this month, Luthien2018 has suggested a song by Fall Out Boy! My favourite Fall Out Boy song is Centuries, so I got Pippin and Merry to write a parody for it. Here they are!

Pippin and Merry: *get up on stage*

Music: *starts*

Pippin: Some mushrooms are sold,
Some pies cost silver or gold,
But when we steal the cheese
We'll eat and eat for centuries.

Merry: With pastries and cake,
The tarts we will make.
We'll have a massive feast
And then we'll eat for centuries.

Both: Pi-i-i-izza, oh pi-i-i-i,
Pi-i-i-izza!
We'll eat and eat for centuries!

Pippin: Dinner, tea, elevensies.
I just can't find something to eat!
Merry's got it wrong,
The plan is all off,
Diamond just broke my ... heart!

Merry: Come on, come on and let me eat.
Pippin's making jokes and laughing at me.
I just made a batch
Of cookies that'll melt.
Tarwa's taking them all for herself!

Cookies: Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du...

Pippin: Some legends are told
Like the Ring and Frodo,
But you will remember me
Because I eat with Merry.

Merry: My daily intake
Is no match for cake.

Pippin: My accent's funny!

Merry: And we will eat for centuries!

Both: Pi-i-i-izza, oh pi-i-i-i,
Pi-i-i-izza!
Then we'll eat for centuries!

Pippin: And I can't stop until my Diamond knows my name!

Merry: Estella is the girl, girl of my dreams!

Tarwa: *eating cookies* I'm just gonna eat,
'cause I don't want to fight,
but I will if I have to
'Cause I, I will give Diamond a bad seizure.

Pippin: *to Diamond* And you're a cherry blossom,
You're about to bloom.
You look so pretty--

Tarwa: *pushes her off a cliff* --but you're gone so soon!

Pizzas: Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du...

Pippin: We will eat forever...

Merry: ...and here's the frozen fruit... *holds out a pear*

Pippin: I could cook forever...

Merry: *points to Tarwa* She's eating poisoned food!

Tarwa: *spits out cookies* Wait, what?!

Merry and Pippin: Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du...

Pippin: Some bread gets green mold,
Some spaghetti gets too cold,
But that won't stop me!
I'll eat and eat for centuries!

Merry: The headlines we'll make.
They will be so great.
Using our expertise,
We'll go down in history!

Both: P-i-i-izza, oh pi-i-i-i,
Pi-i-i-izza!
We'll go down in history!

Gollum: *pops out of the floor* I'll eat fishies for centuries!

Merry: What?

Gollum: Raw fishies!

Pippin: Ew...

Tarwa: Um, okay then... O_O Off you go, Gollum...

Gollum: *runs off to make a fish pie*

Tarwa: Now it's time to announce the winner of this month's Reader Leaderboard! The winner is...

*drum roll*

Luthien2018 on 70 points!

Congratulations! Please check your inbox for your prize. :)
