To everyone who reviewed, thank you so very much! :D Now for the next insane installment...XD


Pippin was busy eating mushrooms, as usual, when Gothmog informed him there was someone to see him. Pippin motioned for him to come in. Merry entered the room. Pippin leapt to his feet and glared at him.

"Pippin!" shouted Merry, hoping he seemed mostly normal.

"What?" asked Pippin. "Have you come to join me?"

"Well", said Merry hesitantly. "There was a rumor...well...but it couldn't possibly be true!"

"What is this rumor?"

"I heard talk that you had joined Sauron for unlimited mushrooms! If that is the case, I'm with you!" Merry hoped he sounded sincere.

"I did not join Sauron." laughed Pippin. "I conquered him! I am the Dark Lord now! And, I do have unlimited mushrooms! I forced the orcs to make Mordor a mushroom farm."

"A orc-run mushroom farm!" gasped Merry is surprise.

"They are not very good farmers." complained Pippin. "Perhaps you could be their overseer."

"What? Me? No! Pippin, everyone knows, the Gamgees are the farmers, we're the troublemakers!"

"Are you going to join me, Merry?" asked Pippin seriously.

Suddenly Darth Vader randomly popped out from under the table. "Come join us on the Dark Side!" he shouted, just like he had done to Pippin. "We have..."

"Yes, mushrooms, I know!" interrupted Merry. "Who are you, anyway?"

"Oh, don't mind him." said Pippin. "He's my father."

Merry made the O_O face.

"I am Paladin Took." announced Vader. "I joined Sauron when you all left the Shire."

Merry looked completely disbelieving. Pippin grinned. "We shall rule Middle-Earth as father and son! He's my lieutenant. You, Merry, can be my Mushroom-Overseer!"

Merry's face seemed unable to do anything but O_O. Pippin smiled creepily. He had such an overwhelming presence. Merry was looking around, desperately hoping to see the Ring. Finally he spotted it, on Pippin's finger! How was Pippin visible?

"Umm, Pippin?" he asked hesitantly.

"Yes, my new apprentice?"

Merry decided to ignore that for now. "Isn't that Sauron's Ring you're wearing?"

A expression of deep anger flashed over Pippin's face. "What's it to you?"

"How can I see you?"

Pippin shrugged. "I made myself visible with the force."

Merry was now quite terrified. He had heard of such things, but had always regarded them as legend, nothing more. He looked at Pippin with hate. How could he have done this? He had betrayed them all. Pippin's voice broke into his thoughts.

"Good, good. Let the hate flow through you."

Merry started. How had Pippin known?

Pippin handed him a lightsaber. "Use this to control the orcs. Now, go attend to your duties as Mushroom-Overseer."

Merry grasped the lightsaber with trembling hands. He did not even know what it was.

Pippin cackled evily. "Tomorrow your training will begin, my young apprentice."

"Hey!" shouted Merry. "I'm older than you!"

Pippin spun towards him faster than sight. "Do not cross me, foolish one."

Merry bowed in terror. "Yes, my master."
