Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this fic. They all belong to their creator, J.R.R. Tolkien. I wish I owned Pippin, though, cuz then I could hug him and cuddle him til he's blue in the face and his guts are coming out. I wuv you, my cute ickle wittle Pupsy-Wupsy! Hehe…well, enough of that. Now onto the fic, which I hope you immensely enjoy!

Pippin was having a wonderfully splendid day. So far that day, he had managed to humiliate Legolas in front of the fellowship by "accidentally" letting slip out of his mouth that Legolas liked to admire himself in the mirror while wearing women's dresses, to anger Aragorn by stealing his precious sword Elendil and hiding it in horse manure, and to finally cause the mental breakdown of Gandalf by using his staff as a plunger. He had managed all of this, and it was only noontime. Yes, this had been one of Pippin's most productive days yet, and he was, needless to say, ecstatic.

Skipping merrily across the town, thinking, Now what more havoc can I cause?, he came upon an obtrusion in the path. It was small and round, yet sharply black in color. I wonder what this could be, he thought. His curiosity getting the best of him, as it most often does, he bent down to pick up the object. It was hard, yet felt unbelievably soft against his skin. He dragged his thumb across the surface, marveling at its smooth texture. Gazing at it intensely, he noticed some writing on it.

He pulled it closer to his eyes, so he could get a better look at what was written upon it. If he had known how to read elvish, he would have known that it said, "Whatever you do, don't eat me!" But he did not know how to read elvish, so he did not know that it said, "Whatever you do, don't eat me!" He was trying to decipher it's meaning, when he heard a growl near him. He jumped.

"Who's there?" he asked, timidly, looking around to find the source of the growl.

No one answered, and he did not seem to be in any danger, so he went back to figuring out what the writing on the object meant. Suddenly, he heard the growl again. This time, it was clearer. He looked around again, but he still found nothing there. By this time, Pippin was getting a bit worried, when suddenly he felt a pang in his stomach. He was hungry! That's what was making the growling sound! He hadn't noticed he was so hungry before. His stomach growled again.

He pouted, "I haven't eaten anything since elevenses and I'm really hungry now, but I don't see any food around here. What am I going to eat?"

He did not even have to think for a second before excitedly exclaiming, "Mushrooms!" He frantically searched the ground with his eyes, trying to find some mushrooms. Not finding any, he sighed dejectedly. He heard another growl emerge from his stomach. He instantly placed his hand on his stomach, forgetting about the object he was holding. It slipped out of his hand and fell onto the ground. He immediately went to pick it up again, and an idea formed in his head.

"I know!" he exclaimed. "I can eat the object!"

He stared at the object in his hand hungrily, and popped it into his mouth. He thought he would have needed to swallow it, figuring that it would be too hard to chew. Amazingly, it was very soft and chewy. He chewed it greedily and swallowed. "Mmmm…tasty…" he muttered, the lemony texture lingering on his taste buds. He felt very satisfied with his choice, feeling very proud of himself for thinking of eating the object.

However, that feeling did not last very long, and suddenly a flashing pain filled his stomach. The pain was so intense, he thought he was going to die, and he soon felt himself slipping away into darkness…

TBC…

*Gasp* What's gonna happen to Pippin? Is he hurt? Of course not! Why would anyone think I would hurt my cute ickle wittle Poopsykins? That's just absurd! Plus, this is a humor fic, so… But if he isn't hurt, then what exactly happened to him? If you want to know the answer to these questions, then stay tuned to the next chapter!

A/N: I would like to thank everyone for reading my fic! I truly hope you enjoyed it, and I would very much appreciate it if y'all dropped me a review, telling me what you think of it. Thank you all so much! I hope you have a wonderfully splendid day just like Pippin!
