Slowly Merry and Pippin approached Frodo, false smiles on their faces.
Frodo grinned, "Hey guys! Man do I feel good!"
"AHAHAHAHAHA" Merry and Pippin both burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Frodo asked, eyebrows raised.
"Oh. Uh. . . nothing!" said Merry, mentally hitting himself.
"Ok. . ." Frodo said, giving them an odd look. "Well, can I have the ring back?"
Again, they both burst out laughing.
"Of course you can have it back!" said Merry between false chuckles, "Cuz, ya know, it's not like oh say, we TRADED it for anything right? Because. . .heh-heh. . .I mean that would be TOTALLY idiotic right?"
Pippin started laughing, "Yah! It's not like we would EVER do something like that!"
Frodo glanced uncertainly between them, "Haha. . .well. . .er. . . hand it over"
They both started their false laughing again, this time it sounded incredibly forced.
"Well, er. . . that's just the thing! WE ACTUALLY DID do an IDIOTIC thing like that." And they laughed all the more loud.
Frodo's uncertain grin faded immediately. "YOU WHAT?" He screamed furiously.
"Please, please, please, don't throw us into Mount Doom. PLEASE." Pippin moaned.
Merry stopped laughing. "We can explain." He stuttered alongside Pippin.
Merry began, "We went into the village and I left Pippin with the Ring. . ."
Pippin continued, "Yah, and and and I thought I would get you TWO better rings than the ugly old one that was the One Ring, so I traded it with a merchant. . ."
"Then I found him and it was already to late." Merry finished. Both glanced down at their shoes, Pippin with a dumb smile on his face as he noticed a little ant on the ground.
Frodo took a deep, shaky breath, "If we don't find it I will KILL you," he muttered through clenched teeth. "Let's go find Aragorn and the others."
Frodo started walking toward the village and Pippin looked at Merry as they trailed behind, "Didja here that?" he asked, his eyes filled with tears. "He's gonna kill us!"
Merry stuck his foot out and tripped Pippin, then continued on.
--
When they reached the village they found Aragorn almost immediately. He was walking to various sales tents and looked surprised to see them. Frodo related what happened quickly, being sure to mention several times that it was all Aragorn's fault. Aragorn was tight lipped and after a moment burst out screaming a long lecture to both Pippin and Merry, filled with death threats. They sank beneath his fury and Pippin looked as if he would rather be thrown into Mount Doom than stay here and listen to Aragorn's angry bellow's.
Legolas was found again, lipstick covering his face, his hair disheveled and a misty look in his eyes. They quickly filled him in and Legolas was completely outraged. "Why'd you let them carry it? I could have done it!"
"You were off with some Elven girl!" Frodo yelled.
"Oh yah," Legolas said, grinning sheepishly. "That was far more important."
Together they searched the streets and soon found the merchant who was just packing up his tent and supplies. They talked to him quickly, stating how important it was to gain the ring. "It's the ONE ring." Pippin piped up knowingly. "We need it to destroy Sauron! It's really powerful you know-" He was cut short as Aragorn smacked the back of his head.
The merchant looked put out that he had sold the legendary Ring of Power but he described to them what the buyer looked like. They spent hours looking and looking until they found a large crowd of girls surrounding a geeky looking man. Quickly they looked and discovered that he was showing off his newly cleaned gold ring. Frodo knew instantly that it was the One Ring.
"Ladies, ladies. I know how highly attractive I am," the man snorted and preceded to choke on his own spit. After gaining his breath, he cleared his throat. "But only the most beautiful woman here can have me. For I can do magic unlike anything you have ever seen." He paused. "Observe!"
The man lifted the Ring and with much flourish and pomp placed it on his finger. He disappeared much to the distress and awe of the crowd of women.
"Hey!" Frodo muttered defensively. "That's my trick!"
"Where are those bloody Ring Wraiths when you need them?" Legolas muttered, combing his hair and grinning at five giggling ladies who became very interested in Legolas rather than the disappearing man.
Aragorn pushed through the crowd and reached the dais that the man had disappeared on. The man reappeared looking slightly ruffled but no less pompous. Aragorn roughly pulled the man back and grabbed the ring off his hand. . . "Hey! My ring!" he cried.
Aragorn snapped the chain off of Pippins neck and gave the man the two other rings. The man's eyes widened and he turned back to his crowd. He placed one of the Ring's on his fingers and, obviously thinking he had disappeared, he began picking his nose and straightening his clothing, paying careful attention to the small bump in his pants.
The Fellowship left the crowd as the women began laughing hysterically at the oblivious man.
Pippin and Merry glanced at each other and gave a great sigh of relief. Then Merry hit Pippin on the back of the head again and muttered, "Don't EVER do something like that again." Pippin just scowled.
Aragorn, Frodo, Legolas, Merry and Pippin walked back toward the forest to meet up with Boromir and Gimli. Frodo whispered into Merry and Pippin's ear, "You are VERY lucky."
Merry and Pippin smiled weakly.
"So," Legolas said, waving goodbye to a crowd of women had followed him into the forest. "Since Pippin is the one who traded it, where were you Merry?"
Merry's face lit up immediately, "Well, see there was this girl. . ." and he proceeded to tell him a detailed story of the amazing things he and this girl did.
Everyone in the company burst out laughing except for Pippin who said, "I don't get it. . ." Merry rolled his eyes.
Legolas whispered in Pippin's ear and his face went from curiosity to shock. "WOW! I didn't know you could do that Merry!"
Aragorn sighed, "I can't wait till all this is over." He began dreaming of Arwen.
Frodo and Sam rolled their eyes. "How you can you be thinking of that NOW? We have a ONE RING to destroy you idiots!!"
They stopped their fantasizing and continued on their journey.

I wouldn't doubt it if it was. *shrug* it's literally the first thing I have ever written! I have an excuse! LoL! Thanks for reading this far though! Please review!
