reviewed my story the most!
"Done!" Mallorn cried. She was up in a tree, and had just finished whittling a large branch into the shape of a flying falcon. Pippin grinned, as she handed him the wood. Merry attached a bit of fishing line to it and Mallorn pulled it back up.
"Are we all ready?" Pippin asked. Boromir giggled. Merry nodded.
"Shhh!" Mallorn hissed, "Take your places!" Merry and Pippin sat on either side of Boromir, smoking a pipe. Boromir tried to build a castle out of the dirt. (As if they were babysitting! Hehe!)
Fairly soon a young hobbit, barely out of his tweens, came up the road. Mallorn gave a piercing eagle call, and swung the wooden falcon forward, narrowly missing the haflings head. "AAAAHHHHHH!" he cried, running away. Pippin, Mallorn, and Merry roared with laughter.
"This is great! We should have thought of this a long time ago!" Merry said. Pippin was laughing so hard he was close to tears.
"Did. ha ha! You, hee, see the look, whoha, on his, hee, face! HAHAHAHA!" Pippin gasped between laughs.
"Careful Pip, or you might suffocate, and die of laughter!" Mallorn giggled.
Their antics continued until late after nightfall.
BACK AT FRODO'S HOUSE
"We should go look for them," Aragorn said.
"Right, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and I will go find them," Frodo said, and they strode out the door.
BACK TO MALLORN, PIPPIN, MERRY, AND BOROMIR
"Go back soon?" Boromir asked.
"We probably should. Besides, the pickings are getting scarce," Mallorn whispered.
"Wait, here come some more!" Merry shushed.
Mallorn gave her call, but Legolas caught the bird in mid-air. He examined it with sharp Elven eyes, and gave a sharp tug on the rope. Mallorn tumbled out of the tree, falling on top of Pippin, who gave a yelp, and landed face first in Boromir's dirt castle. "Oopsy!" Boromir chuckled.
"Mallorn, explain yourself!" Legolas growled, seeming very menacing in the dark. Especially when back by an angry King and menacing Dwarf. Mallorn gulped.
"It was just a little joke! We didn't hurt anybody."
"You're grounded for two months when we get home!" Legolas told his daughter. They had left the Shire that morning and, accompanied by Aragorn, Arwen, Gimli, and Boromir.
The six travelers had set up camp for the night. Mallorn could here the soft crunch of grass under the horses' feet, and for the most part listened to that rather than the Prince's lecture.
Mallorn was awake for a long time after climbing into her sleeping roll. The chirruping of crickets made her wonder at how such a small animal could make such a loud noise.
Suddenly, the crickets stopped. Leaves crunched under heavy footfalls that were trying to be silent. It's probably just Gimli Mallorn thought.
A cloth was throne over her nose. Her eyes widened in terror, before rolling into the back of her head as she passed out. Her silent stalker through her over his shoulder along with the small, unconscious form of the toddler Boromir.
A/N: Did ya all like that? CLIFFHANGERS RULE! But only when I write them. More coming soon, don't forget to review! Namari(!
