[B]A hobbity bath.[/B]
this story got to me while I was having a bath… (don't get any weird ideas pals!) and I just noticed that you could actually fit in that bath with three people, but they would have to be hobbits. And so came this story :-)
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these hobbits, but I would love to! I'm a hobbit maniac! If you own one of these, can I have him them, pewees?
Ow, and they may be a bit out of character at times, certainly Frodo, hehe!
Ow, and also, no funny thoughts, they all have swimming pants on :-D
It was a fine day in Rivendell. The hobbits had been here for a few days now and Frodo seemed to have recovered of his painful meeting with the nazgûl's blade. Peregrin Took was heading for a well-deserved bath, or so he thought. He stepped in the bathroom and jumped in the hot bath.
He was just comfortable when Frodo walked in. "Frodo! What're you doing here! Can't you knock?!" Frodo looked at the hobbit, he seemed upset. "Hey! That's my bath, I filled it up, I just went out to get my towel!" Pippin straightened himself. "No, I filled the bath! I was here first! And your not getting it!" Frodo looked furious, "Peregrin Took! I need my bath! Get out of it now!" Frodo yelled. Pippin laughed and started singing "Nananananaa! You're not getting in! :-p" At this Frodo charged at Pippin and grabbed him by the shoulders trying to pull him out of the bath. (do not try this at home!) Pippin resisted by placing his huge hobbit feet to the sides of the bath; Somehow they managed to topple over and both ended up in the huge elf-bath.
…
Pippin and Frodo were both sitting in the bath, both comfortable and happy, when Merry walked in, he was carrying two little plastic duckies and was whistling, Until he saw the two hobbits… "What're you two doing in my bath?!" He cried out. "Your bath?!" Pippin and Frodo yelled out. "Yes! I filled it up myself, and what are you two doing making it all dirty!" He yelled out. "This is my bath! I filled it up!" pippin yelled. "No! I did!" Frodo repeated. The two bath hobbits jumped up and looked very angry at Merry, who threw his two rubber duckies to them in anger. "Chaaaaaaaaaaarge!" Yelled Pippin and they ran up to each other. But Frodo slipped over a piece of soap and slipped over to merry, making him fall over and Pippin managed to get under Merry and throw him upwards into the bathtub…
The three hobbits were enjoying their bath, it was just big enough for them to sit comfortable together, when they heard someone walking down the hall. "I bet that's Sam coming to claim the bath…" Frodo said. "Let's surprise him!" Merry grinned. The three hobbits climbed out of the bath and went to the door, standing ready to grab him and throw him in the bath. The door slowly opened and before the one who came in knew what happened, he was grabbed by 6 small hands and thrown into the air right into a hot bath… The three hobbits started laughing, but when they looked at the victim, they all stopped at once. In the bath was a man in a grey cloak, with a large white beard and large eyebrows that used to come from under his hat that now lay halfway the bathroom. "Gandalf…" Frodo whispered. The wizard got up, soaking wet and looked at the hobbits ready to kill them! "You fools!" he said. "You…! You…!" Pippin couldn't help himself, he saw the wet wizard, water running from his beard like waterfalls, he started giggling. AT this the other two hobbits started laughing too, and soon they were all three laughing like mad men. Gandalf stared a while amazed and angry, but soon he started laughing himself and forgot all about the accident.
Nobody ever did find out who had filled the bath, not that they cared. But this was a day they would surely always remember, a thing they could laugh at, even during the dark days that lay ahead.
