Chapter 8
A/N~ Not funny? That was hilarious! I looked how you felt... so you felt sexy? Hehehe! I know why Merry couldn't wake me up- no kiss for Sleeping Beauty! Although seeing the Amazing Hungover Woman will also wake you up! Hehehe!
"Fireworks! Cool!" I shrieked. Then I thought "Wait... fireworks... Gandalf... Merry and Pippin have to steal the firework!" "Hey, Vanessa! Get your butt back here! I need to talk to you!"
I heard her groan and mutter something that didn't sound too nice as she stopped, turned around, and dragged a protesting Pippin back. "What?!" she asked exasperated. "I was going to watch the fireworks with my dear... sweet... hot... Pippin," she finished quickly, after a look from me.
"Remember, Merry and Pippin steal the Smaug-like firework? We have to get them to do it! ...For the sake of the party..." I finished lamely.
" 'For the sake of the party'? Right. You only want that to happen because you think Merry looks sexy after it goes off," she replied hotly.
"So? Your Point?" I asked finishing the conversation. "Hey, Merry, Pippin. Y'all like fireworks, right?"
"AYE!" they exclaimed enthusiastically.
"Let's go ste... um... 'borrow' one from Gandalf," Vanessa suggested, giving into her desire to see Pippin happy.
"OK!" they answered as we ran to the cart where the fireworks were.
"Wait, here comes Gandalf! Vanessa, Pip- hide in that tent! We'll tell you when he's gone!" I told them.
When Gandalf reached the wagon all he saw was Merry and one of the "big folk" ("From Bree," he mused) walking around and chatting about how nice the party was. As soon as he left Merry smacked the side of the tent. "Quickly!" he whispered and Pippin and Vanessa rushed out. Merry gave Pippin a boost into the cart. Pippin grabbed the first firework he saw and prepared to jump out.
"No, no! The big one! The big one!" Merry ordered excitedly. Vanessa and I grinned at each other. Pippin grabbed the big, red, dragon looking one, jumped down and bolted back into the tent. Vanessa and I ran after him with Merry following and making sure that no one had seen what happened.
While all this was happening, Bilbo was still greeting late arriving guests. "Mrs. Bracegirdle, how nice to see you. Welcome, welcome. Are all these children yours?" "Aye." "Good gracious! You have been productive!" he remarked.
"Done!" Pippin exclaimed, lighting the fuse.
"You're supposed to stick it in the ground!" Merry said urgently, pushing the firework back at his cousin.
"It is in the ground!" Pippin retorted, pushing it back at his best friend.
"Outside!" Merry shot back, along with the pyrotechnic device.
"This was your idea!" Pippin yelped. The firework went off mid-push, sending the two Hobbits flying, their hair going everywhere, and soot covering every inch of their cute faces. Vanessa and I were far enough away that nothing happened to our dresses or us. As we ran over to Merry and Pippin we quoted the next lines in the movie. " 'That was good!'" I quoted doing Merry. " 'Let's get another one!'" Vanessa replied.
"Are you angels?" Merry asked as Vanessa checked on our Hobbits. He was still a bit dazed from the blast/flight, obviously. Pippin looked out of it as well.
"No, I'm an angel; she's a devil," Vanessa said shooting me an "innocent" look, to which I replied with a nasty one of my own.
"Uh-oh! Here comes Gandalf and he looks mad! Let's get the guys outta here!" I whispered to Vanessa, our feud about who was the angel momentarily forgotten. We hurried and carried the Hobbits away from the "blast site".
"Who did this?" Gandalf wondered aloud as Bilbo calmed the excited Hobbits. "That was the signal for dinner to begin," he announced. That received Merry and Pippin's full attention, causing them to start running back.
"No, you have to get cleaned up so Gandalf doesn't know it was you!" Vanessa insisted. The guys still wouldn't leave until Vanessa and I promised to cook more food later, or at least Merry as Pippin would have to put up with Vanessa's cooking again. They went and changed and cleaned and returned to Vanessa and me and we all walked back to the party together.
A/N~ What happens at the rest of the party? Huh, Nessie? Tell me please! Sorry, I haven't had caffeine all day and I usually live on caffeine! Bye!
