Title: Dangerous Game Show
Characters: Estel, Legolas, Elrohir, Elladan, Gandalf, Frodo, Sam, Pippin, Merry
Summary: Pippin finds some new Hobbit weed and decides to share. Little did they know it was really Marijuana! The twins and the Hobbits along with Gandalf give it a try. While they are unbelievably high, the seven decide to host a perilous game show dragging Estel and Legolas in for the ride!
Pippin was amused. He had recently finished rigging Gandalf's fireworks to explode all at the same time. It took a lot of fuse and some very witty hiding places for the task to be completed. Man would Gandalf be surprised when all of his fireworks suddenly exploded in his face!
The little Hobbit raced along the forest paths near the Shire, occasionally stopping to pick a mushroom. He had little time before the party began and he still needed to change his clothes and have his next meal.
Bending low, Pippin tried to run a little faster, but tripped over a nonexistent tree root and fell flat on his face. Getting up he saw an unusual plant growing by a large maple tree. Cautiously, he sniffed it. Then he felt the texture of it. Finding it to be just like the pipe weed that he loved so dearly, he grabbed all he could carry and raced home to tell of his discovery.
Later...
Legolas, Elrohir, Elladan, and Aragorn had arrived just as the food was being set out for the eating. It was strange food indeed! Sam had found a new cook book and decided to try out the odd foods on his friends. There were these odd shaped things call "hotdogs" that were surrounded in bread. There was something that was called a "cheese burger" that was also placed on bread and covered in cheese. But the strangest thing they had to devour was the drink. It was called "orange soda pop." None had ever heard of "Soda pop" before in their lives.
Cautiously, Legolas took the "Orange soda pop" in his hands and placed the cup to his lips. Estel, the twins, and Gandalf eyed him carefully to find the reaction that the elf had to the new liquid. Legolas took a large swing of the drink but promptly spat it out and leaped up from the table. Eight sets of eyes bulged at the Mirkwood prince's reaction.
"By Valar what is this drink that tingles the insides of your mouth!?" he shouted drawing, and notching an arrow and aiming at the devilish cup.
"Is it really that bad?" asked Sam with a bewildered look on his face.
Gandalf rose from his seat and walked to the dumbfounded elf. "Legolas, lower your bow," the wizard said. "Geez it can't be that bad," said Aragorn pouring some of the strange drink into his own goblet. All heads turned to the human to see the other's reaction to the beverage. Estel looked at the contents of the glass questioningly and then took a large swing. The orange liquid left the man's mouth almost as soon as the goblet was removed from his lips. Along with the "Soda" came a colorful stream of words that would have made even the foulest orc to blush.
"Oh just wait until Ada realizes what left your mouth Estel!" chided the twins.
Aragorn, with a fearful face replied, "You tried this utterly evil concoction and then we will see what you tell father!"
The twins took the comment as a bet and both took a moderately large gulp of the drink. Like the two before, the orange soda left the mouths of the twin elves immediately. If their companions thought that Estel's words were foul, then they were in for a very big surprise when Elrond's oldest sons let the river of language leave their mouths.
"I do believe that Sauron himself may have run in fear of what just came out of your look alike faces!" said Gandalf with a serious look on his aged face.
Merry and Pippin exchanged looks of amusement and then burst out in laughter. They fell out of their chairs and fell on to the grass. Pippin also managed to bang his head on the table with his decent.
The two non laughing Hobbits, the Elves, the Man, and the Wizard looked at the two hooligans with mirrored looks of confusion.
"What is this nonsense?!" asked Gandalf mimicking Elrond's "face" so well that it caused Legolas, the twins, and Estel to cringe.
"The" [gasp] "Look on your" [gasp] "Faces was" [gasp] "Absolutely" [gasp] "Hilarious!" Merry replied trying to stop laughing but failing miserable when he saw Gandalf's look.
Pippin how ever didn't even try to stop laughing. The four reactions to the soda replayed over and over again in his head until he was laughing so hard that he passed out from lack of air.
The other eight people watched in utter confusion as Pippin suddenly stopped laughing and went totally limp on the thick grass.
"Pippin!" cried the three Hobbits at the same time.
Aragorn immediately switched into healer mode and motioned for Elladan to assist him in reviving Pippin.
"Strider, will he be alright?" asked Sam quietly. "Of course Sam. Pippin merely passes out from laughing too hard. His brain didn't receive enough oxygen and his body shut down so that he would be forced to breath properly again," answered Estel.
Sam sat for a moment trying to figure out what the lengthy answer he had received from the human meant. Finally after a few minutes of hard thinking, he thought he had figured it out.
"Legolas, help me to get him to his bed, please mellon nin," asked Estel. Legolas complied and swiftly took hold of the Hobbit under the arm pits to haul him to the comfort of his bed, while Estel took hold of Pippin's legs.
As the two placed the unconscious body on the bed, Pippin stirred and suddenly shot up from his new resting area. "Pipe weed!" he exclaimed with a huge smile.
The eight people in the small room jumped back at the young Hobbit's sudden exclamation.
"What pipe weed?" asked Frodo.
"I found pipe weed today after I was done—"Pippin started before realizing that he was going to uncover his prank. "I found pipe weed!" he stated again reaching into his pillow and bringing out a strange leaf.
"Oh let us have a go at it!" said Elladan and Elrohir together snatching up a leaf and struggling to find their pipes.
Gandalf and the rest of the Hobbits each took a leaf also.
"Aragorn are you sure you don't want one? And the same to you Legolas?" asked Merry lighting his pipe.
"We're quite alright with out it," the two friends replied after a quick glance at each other's faces.
The seven others started to puff on their pipes not knowing what mayhem could be induced from such a simple pleasure.
