Disclaimer: Is there any more need for this?
Frodo, Sam, and Merry had laid Pippin down on a bed in one of the many rooms of Bag End . Pippin yelled for chamber pot and became sick in it. Sam carried it away trying hard to smell or look into the pot.
"Um…wait a minute. I'll be right back. I have to look for something," said Frodo as he ran out of the room. Merry and Andrea were bundling Pippin up in blankets to stop him from shivering. Golly was drying his pale face with handkerchief. Pippin looked up at her. His eyes had lost their brightness and now had a gray tint.
"Golly, its so dark and cold in here," whispered Pippin. Golly, puzzled, looked at him. There were lamps everywhere and the fireplace was blazing. Then she thought of something horrible.
"Oh no," she whispered.
"What," asked Merry and Andrea in unison.
"The poison's affecting his eyesight. He's going blind. He needs help." She looked back at Pippin. His eyes had rolled back into his head and all Golly could see were the white of the eyes. Frodo came in holding a small round bottle with a clear-bluish liquid inside. He rushed over to Pippin's and opened his mouth. Before Frodo could pour anything Pippin's whole body went into spasms Sam ran over to Pippin's other side and held his head firmly between his hands.
"Open his mouth," cried Frodo. Merry came over and opened Pippin's mouth.
"Sit him up so he wont choke," ordered Sam. Merry did and Frodo poured the liquid into Pippin's mouth. Pippin felt the icy cold liquid run down his throat. It tasted like water but it had the strong essence of alcohol. The pain in his stomach was subsiding and his muscles were relaxing. His eyelids felt heavy and was extremely drowsy. In a matter of seconds Pippin fell into a deep sleep.
"What did you give him," asked Golly, looking at Pippin sleeping peacefully now and his face no longer pale.
"It's was an elixir that Bilbo was given by the elves in Rivendell awhile ago. It is a powerful and can rid anyone of even the deadliest poisons," answered Frodo. He looked towards the bed. "Good thing I remembered ol' Bilbo had it or poor Pip where would've been in serious trouble. He's out cold right now but he'll be awake by maybe noon."
Merry was at the foot at the bed and let out a long yawn. "I'm so sleepy." He noticed Andrea next to him who was also yawning. "C'mon, sleepyhead. I'll walk you home."
"No that's ok. You just go to bed. Goodnight Merry, Sam, Frodo, and Golly. If I don't see Pip tomorrow tell him that I hope he feels well." She led herself out and they heard the front door close.
"Well, I'm off to bed now. Goodnight everyone," Merry said.
"Oh, all our stuff is back in the forest," said Sam. "I'll go and fetch them. Be right back." Then he hurried off and grabbed a lamp before he got out of the door.
"Well, Golly," said Frodo, " I guess I'll walk you home."
"No…um…I would like to stay here for awhile and look after Pip, that is if you don't mind."
"Not at all. You may even spend the night here if you'd like. I'll fix up a bed for you then I'll make tea. Would you like some?"
"Thank you but no." Frodo shrugged his shoulders and stepped out of the room. Golly pulled a chair next to the bed and sat down. She took Pippin's hand which was warm and a little damp. She watched his chest rise and fall with every sleepy breath he took. Outside she heard the soft rumble of thunder far, far off in the distance and the crickets chirping in the garden. The sounds of nature made her drowsy and she was soon nodding off to sleep. She rested her head on the bed and drifted off to a land of dreams, still holding on the Pippin's hand.
Pippin's eyes fluttered open around an hour before dawn. He looked around, wondering where he was. He immediately recognized the room and fell back on the pillows. He had a headache and his eyes were a little sore when he moved them. Pippin looked down and saw Golly by his side sleeping and holding his hand. He smiled and with his other hand he brushed a few strands of her brown hair away from her face. He ran his finger lightly along her cheek trying to make her twitch. Golly did, stirred, and was still again, not letting go of his hand. Pippin tried to free his hand from her grasp but she held on tightly. He laughed softly. Then he sat up, bent over her, and kissed her lips, nothing more than a feathery brush of his own. Golly stirred again and woke up. She saw Pippin fully awake and smiled.
"Hullo love," greeted Pippin. " Sleep well?"
"Pip, you're alright," exclaimed Golly. Then very quickly she said, " I was so worried about you. I honestly thought you were going to die! You probably would've been very close if you hadn't drunk Bilbo's elf elixir. I was so worried. You were so cold and I was so frightened and I didn't want to lose you 'cos I love you so so much and then when I was asleep I had a terrible, terrible nightmare that you had died…and…I'm so glad you're alright." She heaved a big sigh and tears were welling up again in her brown eyes.
"C'mere. Clam down." Golly climbed onto the bed and lay next to Pippin with her head resting on his chest. He kissed the top of her head and caressed her hair. "There, there. I'm all right. It was a bad idea to eat those mushrooms. But you always learn from your mistakes, right?"
"Yes. Even if they are deadly. But I can't forget how cold you were. It was so unnatural for the body to be like that. And then you almost went blind." Single tears were streaming down her face. Pippin lifted up her chin and wiped away the last tear with his thumb and kissed her again.
"I'm all right. I'm not going to die. I feel spectacular except my head hurts a little. And I'm kinda hungry. Hmm…the sun's coming up so Sam should be here in awhile to fix Frodo some breakfast then to do some garden work. Maybe you could stay for breakfast."
"Oh no," gasped Golly. " Mother must be worried to death! I never came home last night! I must get over there quickly and tell her where I've been. I'll be back soon!" Golly ran out of the room as fast she could. Seconds later she ran back in and gave Pippin and firm kiss. "Don't eat any mushrooms 'till I get back," she laughed and ran back out again. Pippin laughed, sank into the pillows, and closed his eyes as the rays of sunlight burst into the room.
A/N: How sweet. Well now that y'all know that Pip's fine and not dead, you can go on with your lives. BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT YOU HAVE REVIEW!!! I live off of them….i breathe them….i feed on them….they are my life….. ô_o……*ahem* I'm coming off as desperate, aren't I? Yeah, sorry. Ok well expect the next chapter soon!!! Buh-bye!!!
PS: As a token of my gratitude for EleorCira for that free advertisement, I will allow her some free advertising space. So if you stumbled onto this story, I would advise you to read EleorCira's work. It's great and entertaining…like entertaining monkeys on a summer day!!! If that made sense, you are a sad strange little person. LIKE A HOBBIT! Ok I'll shut up now. Buh-bye!!!
