Everyone pretty much abandoned them to go talk to the Ents about keeping Saruman in line but they followed them without being heard and eventually arrived at Rohan again. The remains of the Fellowship went to see the King and told the guards to take the Hobbits to the stables and leave them there for a while, which they did. Everyone felt that any idea to keep distance between them was a good one, not this one. Merry was following Pippin all around the stables when he stopped.

"Hey doesn't this horse look a bit too perfect?" He asked.

"You mean," Pippin said turning back," too much like a statue?"

"Yea."

"So kick it and see if it's alive." Pippin had heard that if something feels pain then it will react and even if kicking a huge horse wasn't such a great idea he was too drunk to care and besides it was Merry doing the kicking not him.

"Alright." And he did. Very hard. A bit too hard because he broke its leg.

'Maybe no one will notice.'Merry thought nervously.

"Damn you idiot now we have to run." Pippin smacked his head.

They attempted to run but they could barely jog without feeling dizzy.

The next day Merry finds out it was Shadowfax's leg he broke. Gandalf officially hated him. Legolas hated Merry and Gimli never liked them very much to begin with. Aragorn was too busy, trying to avoid Eowyn and get his throne back, to care.

Gandalf had to go on ahead to Gondor to do wizard things and as a punishment for breaking the Palantir he took Pippin with him.

 

Eventually they all reunite in Gondor just before the big battle and everything was in chaos.

Denethor had been trying to kill his innocent son and Pippin, a member of the guard, had set out to save him. And he succeeded he managed to get Faramir to safety while locking Denethor inside his burning cave and frying him to death. Just as he's running out he sees Merry for the first time in forever. They have no time to talk and go off to battle Sauron's forces.

Merry saw a Nazgul running toward Arwen and decided to save her. He ran and ran till he was right in front of the beastly creature and then grabbed onto its cape so it wouldn't escape. Too bad for Merry now that it had no cape and wasn't visible in this world it left to safety. And Merry passed out. When the battle ended Pippin found him grabbed him by the wrist and dragged over every sharp rock in Gondor to take him to the Healing Houses. They meet up with Aragorn at the entrance and by now Merry is half-dead.

Aragorn looks at him and asks Pippin," What happened to him?"

"The Nazgul did this. He. He. You see was a big fight and ...and…"

Merry barely managed a whisper of," Liar." Before Pippin ran into the Healing Houses still dragging him over every rock. But Pippin wasn't done yet, as Aragorn healed Merry he took his sack and stole all the weed. When Merry woke up the next morning and went for his weed from Isengard he found a couple of ashes, Pippin didn't want to litter, and a couple of worthless leaves that broke when he touched them. He was so angry but no one would let him get up or listen to him so he was stuck.

Pippin came running in in the middle of Merry's sulking screaming "NO! NO! NO! You can't make me!"

"Come back here Pippin! You have to go fight! You're friend is injured and we need every soldier we can get. Come back!" Aragorn yelled running in after Pippin. Merry sat there very amused thinking 'maybe he would pay for the stealing of the weed.'

As he was running Pippin was caught by Gimli and put in a strategically placed catapult near a window.

"Shut up! And sit still," said Gimli while holding him down," hurry up!" he yelled at Aragorn who came and cut the ropes and sent Pippin flying into the midst of 1,000 Orcs all the while screaming. By now Merry was cracking up while anyone who could went to the window to watch him land as they laughed.

Then everyone hears a loud horn and they all watch as many, many random people come and kill all the Orcs and save Pippin who returns as soon as he can.

Back in the Healing Houses Frodo had just returned and everyone was cheering. Pippin took the liberty of borrowing Legolas' bow and arrows and went to hide in a corner. From there he took careful aim and shot an arrow at Frodo, he totally missed and when Sam nearly attacked him he turned and blamed Merry. Merry had gotten new weed from Frodo and was conscience enough to find out what was happening.

" It waaasn't mee…" He was being dragged of to jail and Legolas was taking his stuff back which Pippin had conveniently thrown onto Merry's bed and just for good measure he glared down at Pippin. After a couple of visits to the dungeons Pippin was 'convinced' that Merry should be let out. So they both agreed to accuse Gimli and have him arrested and since he didn't help out at all in the story, not even in dwarfish Moria, everyone agreed and he was arrested in Merry's place. After he was set free he met up with Sam and Frodo who were going to go back to Hobbiton and Pippin who was trying his hardest to not strangle them all.
