Misadventures of a Teenaged Took

Teenaged Hobbits always seem to cause trouble, especially Pippin. When he learns how to really get into mischeif, it is terribly hard to get out of it. Chapter six or five...whatever you like to call it is up!

Misadventures of a Teenaged Took

By Nolitari

A/N: I know this has a strange genre, but, (grin) I couldn't resist.

If you look in the timeline in the back of RotK, it will clearly state that it was 17 years inbetween Bilbo's birthday party and the War of the Ring. Who knows what our dear Pippin could get himself into in that span of time.

So, Pippin is about... 18 years old, which is still young for a Hobbit, therefore I can make him act like a 10-year-old if I wish.

I know I am updating two stories at once. Sorry! I just couldn't help myself.

Disclaimer: If I owned these characters, which I don't, I wouldn't be doing this to poor Pip.

Prologue

He looked around at his sleeping cousin. No, his cousin would never suspect it. Everyone always said he couldn't pull off a good prank, but that was about to change. He could do a good prank, no matter what anyone else said. His father always said, "If you put your mind to it, you can do whatever you want." But most fathers said that. It was like the dad motto.

The Hobbit grabbed his pet mouse - that no one knew about - and held it in position to drop on his cousin's face. He tried to calm his breathing, otherwise his cousin would wake up. But the hobbit just couldn't. Oh well, no time now! This plan had to go smoothly. Then he could blame it on one of his siblings if there were any mistakes.

Outside the wind started to howl, making the young Hobbit shiver. It wasn't that he was cold, just the lonely howl of the gusting wind made his spine tingle. The spring winds blew furiously, as they did every year. The wolf-like howls of the wind made the young Hobbit seriously reconsider his prank for a less scary night. Yet, he wouldn't admit that he was scared. He was eightteen years old, and that was old enough to not be scared...if people were looking.

Quickly he dropped the mouse on his cousin's face and dove into his bed. The sheets were no longer warm since he had left his bed about fifteen minutes ago. He tried to not fall asleep. He wanted to hear his cousin's reaction.

Ten minutes later, it came.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

He tried not giggle, he really did, but the teenaged hobbit couldn't help himself.

"PIPPIN!"

"EEP!"
