Chapter Number: 5
Chapter Title: Pippin vs. Frodo
Original Chapter Title: Pippin and Frodo Fight over Elle
Frodo sat on a stump and threw stones into the river. " I am such a fool to think I could be the same?" he thought to himself. "I am no match. Not with this weight on my shoulders. The ring must drive people away, or is it me?" he threw another stone into the water and he watched it sink into the depths after its splash. "No it must be me." He took out the ring from around his neck and held it in his hand. " I can not blame the ring for everything. Love is my problem, a totally different task." He sighed and bent down to scoop up a handful of smooth black stones. Rolling them around in his hand. "Self-centered." He said before throwing one of them into the water. "Blind." He threw another one. "Stupid. Unreasonable. Conceited." In went three more.
"How about brave?" Elanor said coming through the trees. Frodo jumped to his feet.
"You snuck up on me." He quavered. "How long have you been there?"
"Been where? I just came along now and I heard you cursing at the river. What harm has it brought you?"
"Uh, nothing. I just thought that..."
"Just because the river is burdened with the task of flowing in different directions at different times, doesn't affect its soul you might say. It really isn't the river's fault." She walked over to him and removed the last stone from his hand.
"Let's try good natured." She said and she threw the stone into the water so that it skipped a couple of times before disappearing. "But I also have a feeling that you usually do not go around destroying the self-esteem of innocent rivers."
He smiled sheepishly and shook his head. "No, I usually do not." At that she laughed and sat down on the stump next to him for it was quite a big stump.
"You know," Frodo began. "Hobbits do not swim very well from what I understand."
"Where would you be going with this?" Elanor cautiously questioned.
"Oh, nothing. It's just a shame. Do you know how to swim Elle?"
"Why no I don't. But where are you going with this?"
"You tell me." He dared as he leapt off of the stump and went into a shallow end of the river. He stuck his hands into the water and brought them up quickly, splashing Elle in the face.
"You are going to get hurt, that's what." She screamed as she ran in after him. They began a war of soaking each other while drops of water were constantly being thrown in the air.
"Hey Elle!" Pippin called. "Where did you go?" he smiled as he came closer. But, as soon as he saw the drenched hobbits his grin quickly faded. "Oh." He said looking at Frodo. Sensing the tension, Elle quickly spoke. "Come and join us Pip!" she laughed splashing him.
"No it's alright, I'll talk to you later Elle." He retorted turning away.
"Why can't you just say it right now Pippin?" Frodo questioned.
"Because, Frodo, it's just between Elle and I." He snapped.
"Pip, what's wrong?" Elle questioned coming out of the water.
"Nothing, not right now. I have to go."
"Pip, what is wrong?" Frodo said following Elle.
"It's just that, I don't think I should be here right now, alright?"
"Why shouldn't you be Pip?" Frodo tried.
"Because I did not want to disturb your time with Elle, that's all."
"Why are you so vexed about me spending time with my good friend Frodo here Pip?" Elle questioned.
"Our good friend Frodo gets everything. I was just making sure that cycle wasn't disturbed."
"What do you mean Pippin? I get everything?"
"That's right, you get everything."
"What have I gotten so far?"
"You have the ring, the responsibility, the girl.."
"The what?" Elanor calmly questioned.
"Oh sure, I have the ring alright. Here you go Pip, you take the ring to Mordor, you take this retched responsibility away from me, because I have had it with losing my friends to this mission."
"None of that Frodo, you know of what I am talking about. You can have your beloved ring, but you can not take her from me."
"Her? Who's her?" Elanor said raising her voice.
"If you believed she can be claimed, come and take her from me, if she is mine to give or to take in the first place." At that, Pippin shoved Frodo into the banks of the river and began to cake him in mud from the river's bottom. Frodo in return tried to take him over as well, but they were neck to neck canceling each other out. This continued till they were both thrown into the water by another force.
"Peregrin Took and Frodo Baggins!" Elanor screamed. "You two are the most insensitive beings I have ever met! How dare you fight over me as if I were some trophy!"
"Elle, I didn't mean it." Pippin began.
"Peregrin, I do not want to be referred to as an object, and frankly you boys do not know how to handle your selves around a lady or a being for that matter. Absolutely ridiculous! I can not believe that just happened!" And at that Elle stormed towards the camp and left them there. Frodo and Pippin helped each other up.
"Listen, Frodo, I'm sorry. Not just for Elle, but I'm truly sorry." Pippin said holding out his hand.
"I understand Pip, really I do. I'm sorry too, I had no idea." Frodo replied shaking his hand and wiping off some of the mud from his shoulder. They chuckled softly.
"I guess I am blind." Frodo sighed.
"We should leave her alone. For now at least." Pip suggested.
"You're right. We'll apologize later, when she's cooled down, and not near any sharp materials."
"Yeah, alright." Pippin said starting to walk away. Frodo went back to his stump and picked up a few more stones. "Uh, Frodo. You're not blind, are you?"
"Never mind Pip." Frodo sighed. "Immoral." He stated and in went in another stone.
~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~
Elle sat down next to Lauri and put her head between her hands and screamed.
"Yes, Elle. Would something be wrong?"
"Oh, no. It's just that one of my best friends and the person I'm trying to get to know better just tried to kill each other. Well I mean, it's either that or they were trying to see who could possibly cake themselves in the most mud."
"Oh, I see. One of those days. Well," Lauri said putting her arm around her shoulder, "You could have all of the small ones after you."
"What difference would it make? They would still want to tear each other apart and it would be my fault."
"_All_ of the small ones Elle." Lauri whispered. Elle's face lit up and they both broke out in laughter.
"I better go and get some more water. I have a feeling we're going to need it for them." Elle said standing up and fetching the nearest canteen of water before scurrying off down to the shore.
"It appears we both have more than we bargained for Elle." Lauri sighed.
"Lauri, something's wrong." Legolas said walking over to her.
"What, what happened!" Lauri exclaimed.
"I feel, that something's wrong. Out of place."
"Aragorn!" Frodo yelled running towards them with the blue blade of Sting drawn. Aragorn came, tailed by the Hobbits, and Boromir.
"Orcs, they're close." Boromir said gravely.
"Elle? Where's Elle!" Lauri cried and then a monstrous cry came from the woods. A screech was sounded from one of the creatures.
"Laurëaelen and Elanor! Come out so we can end your killing of our kind!!"
"Arki-hu, he's found us." Lauri whispered.
