A/N: Each member of the Fellowship must tell a secret about themselves. NOT NASTY OR ANYTHING! JUST WEIRD AND FUNNY!

Warning: Some of the things they say will be very AU.

Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR or any of the characters that will soon be tortured by embarassment.

Confessions

"Lets play a game!" Pippin said as the Fellowship sat by the fire. They had just left Rivendell and really hadn't travelled that far. Merry completely agreed with Pippin. "Oh, I have a good one! Good idea, Pip. Lets play Confessions! Everyone has to tell a secret!"

The rest of the Fellowship groaned. "Oh, come on, it'll bring us all closer!" Merry insisted. More groaning. "Well, Merry can start," Pippin suggested.

Merry thought for a moment. "Okay, this may sound really gross, but I like to eat strawberry jam with my biscuits and gravy."

Pippin made a face and everyone else inched farther away from Merry-The-Weird-Eater.

"You next, Sam." Merry said, looking to his right.

"I used to put dirt in my milk and drink it." He said quietly, but loud enough for everyone to hear. Frodo laughed.

"What about you, Frodo?" Pippin asked.

Frodo turned red. "I'm...ah...I'm afraid of wood, because I'm always getting splinters."

It was everyone's turn to laugh. Aragorn patted the hobbit on the head. "Ah, I wouldn't worry too much. I'm afraid of things too." Everyone went silent. Aragorn, son of Arathorn, heir to the throne of Gondor, afraid of something?

"I'm afraid of ladybugs, okay?" He said, then laughed nervously.

Gimli grunted and laughed. "Little red insects with black spots? What's so scary about them?"

"Okay, tough guy, what's your secret?" Aragorn said, poking the dwarf with a stick.

"I...umm...I still suck my thumb." Gimli said, his face turning red underneath his beard. Boromir howled. "That's hilarious!"

"Oh yeah? Well what's your secret, Mr High-And-Mighty?" Gimli grunted.

It was Boromir's face that turned red now. "Well, I, er, I used to, that is, I still...er, I still sleep with a stuffed animal." He said that last part real quietly, but everyone heard it anyway.

"No shame in that," Pippin said, reaching up and patting him on the shoulder.

"What's your secret, Pip?" Merry asked, nudging his friend because he most likely already knew what it was. But Pippin surprised even Merry.

"I like to drink orange juice and milk mixed together."

Everybody made an eeewww sound and Pippin looked sheepish. "Its not as bad as it sounds!" He protested.

Gandalf had been pretty quiet throughout the whole exchange, but he decided to say something and get it over with.

"I'm afraid of the dark."

It was real quiet for a minute before everyone cracked up.

Then everyone turned to the Elf. "What about you, Legolas? Surely you've got some secret?" Frodo asked.

"Well, its not my fault, its my father's fault." He said, already trying to clear his name. "I don't know my left leg from my right."

All the confessions over with, the nine companions giggled themselves to sleep.
