NO MATTER WHAT
Cool, now I know the secret of how to get people to review, just have some sort of mystery about Legolas and they try to figure it out. I promise that this is not some crappy story where the problem was that their father hurt them (There are too many of those) or one where he spends his time trying to get some lady to like him (there are even more of those). Other than that, I have no promise.
Knowing that they had to do something other than just watch their companions silently suffer, Merry and Pippin devised a plan to find out what was wrong.
"Pip, you take Aragorn. Try to find out what is wrong. Ask about Arwen. That would be my first guess if someone ever asked me, which they don't. I'll ask Legolas if there is something wrong. Meet at the edge of the small stream under the willow tree. That way they won't see us meet up. I don't want them to think that something is up. See ya soon." With that Merry departed. He soon paused for a moment. Chances were Pippin would want to know why Merry assigned him Aragorn. The truth was that because Pippin had yelled at Legolas he would have better luck with Aragorn.
"Aragorn" Pippin found the ranger trying desperately to find firewood. "Hey, when is supper and what are we having?" Pippin tried to make this seem as normal as possible. He thought that Aragorn would expect him to ask about food.
"I have no idea, now help me get some wood or you will be supper."
"Alright. What is with your mood? Normally you aren't so snappy at people. Is something wrong?"
"NO!" Aragorn shouted with such ferocity that Pippin almost wet himself. "Um… no, there is nothing wrong."
"Ah ha! There is something wrong! What is it? You might as well tell me."
"Alright, you caught me, just don't tell anyone."
"Is it about Arwen?"
"Well, kind of. Elrond is not sure that he will let me marry her. That is all. Arwen says that he will but I'm just nervous. Sorry I was so mean. Don't bother with the wood, I'll take care of it." Although Pippin didn't notice it, Aragorn was just trying to get rid of him.
"Hi Legolas!" Merry piped up as he saw him. "Nice day, isn't it?"
"Not particularly." Legolas hardly looked over at Merry and continued inspecting his bow for defects that were not there.
"What's wrong?" Merry knew, or thought he knew, that he was going to get the communications open.
"Nothing that concerns hobbits, nothing that concerns more than two elves for that matter. Why do you ask?"
"Just wanted to make sure that there is noting wrong. Come on, you can tell me."
"You want to know what is wrong?" Merry nodded quickly in agreement. "I'll tell you what it wrong. There is an annoying hobbit trying to stick his nose where it doesn't belong! Now go or that hobbit will have no nose!"
Merry, knowing that Legolas just might carry thought with his threat, ran off to where he was to meet Pippin. To add speed, Legolas put an arrow in a tree as Merry ran by it. Pippin was there waiting for him. When Merry saw the smile of Pippin's face he knew that is friend had not failed him. Pippin told his story first. They talked about it until they were sure that that was not the uneasiness that was bothering them. At first Merry was reluctant to say that he had failed to get information about what was bothering Legolas. Pippin cheered him up by telling him that now they knew that Legolas was upset. Pippin had become so accustomed to creating such excuses for himself that it was no big deal coming up with one for his cousin.
