This is Sarah (not my older sister). My sister and I have to share a pen
name (lonestar236) so at the beginning of every story I write I'll
introduce myself so you will know who is writing!

The Tricks of Merry and Pippin
"Who should be our first victim?"
"How 'bout Frodo?"
"Nah. Sam won't let us near him. I think he suspects something."
"True."
Merry Brandybuck and Pippin Took were planning how to disrupt the Fellowship. Both were very mischievous and could not go long without causing chaos.
"Boromir would be a good target," suggested Pippin.
"Maybe," came Merry's reply. Suddenly he stood up and snapped his fingers. "I got it!"
"Who? Who?"
Merry leaned in. "Legolas."
*****
That evening, Merry and Pippin stayed up late, waiting for the elf to go to bed.
"Merry, do you think Legolas ever goes to sleep?"
It had been three hours since Frodo and Sam went to sleep, leaving the other two hobbits to talk with the rest of the Fellowship, who were getting suspicious.
"Merry? Pippin? Isn't it past your bedtime?" Aragorn finally asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
"Who ever said we had a bedtime?" Merry responded quickly, too quickly.
"Yeah, all because we go to bed at the same time every night doesn't mean that we have a bedtime."
"Right" Aragorn replied. A small smile played his lips. He knew they were up to something. Let them play their games; they can't do too much damage.... can they?
*****
Pippin woke up suddenly. Someone seemed to be shaking him.
"Pippin! Wake up! It's time!"
"What? Can I just go back to sleep?"
Merry saw that this would not get his cousin up, so he sighed tried a different approach.
"Hey Pippin! Look over there! Mushrooms!"
Pippin jumped up quick as a flash.
Works every time, thought Merry.
"Mushrooms! Where?"
"Shh! Not so loud! I just did that to get you out of bed! It's time to pull our prank.
"Oh." Pippin sounded a little put out.
They hurried over to where the Mirkwood elf lay sleeping. If any one of the Fellowship was awake that night, they might have been able to hear the snip of scissors.
*****
The Fellowship was roused from their sleep by the sound of Elven curses. Everyone turned to face Merry and Pippin before inspecting the damage done to Legolas. They all gasped in unison.
