A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. It's just college and exams and papers…just so busy! But I got it out, so I hope you enjoy the latest installment! On with the show! :)

The sun's rays shone through the windows, reflecting off the full-length mirror situated in front onto the pink bed beside it, engulfing the covers in its warmth. The body beneath the warm sheets began to stir. With a stretch of the arms and a yawn, Legolas rose from the bed, refreshed from his daily afternoon nap. He went to check himself out in his full-length mirror. A bright smile lit up his face.
"Ah, as beautiful as ever."
He gave his reflection a wink before making his way to the hairdresser. His eyes roamed over the surface of the hairdresser as he searched for his favorite hand-held mirror. Not being able to find it, panic filled his eyes. His eyes traveled around the rest of his room frantically. They landed on his bed, but it wasn't there. He then directed his gaze next to the full-length mirror, but it wasn't there, either. By now, his eyes were brimming over with tears. He found himself looking at the women's dresses hanging over his mirror. Forgetting about his panic for a moment, his face turned a bright crimson red as he recalled the embarrassing event that had occurred not even three hours ago. Pippin had told the rest of the fellowship about his little "gender questioning" secret! His face then turned a bright red, but not from embarrassment this time. He was red from rage.
"That Pippin! He's going to die when I see him again, he can be sure of that!" Legolas exclaimed, angrily. "But now I have to find my favorite mirror! Oh, what am I going to do without it? I won't be able to dye my hair or pluck my eyebrows or put on my makeup. I'm going to look like a mess! Oh, what have I done to deserve this?"
Legolas sat down on the chair next to his dresser, placed his face into his hands, and started sobbing. He stayed in that position, wallowing in self-pity for a few moments, until he decided that crying would solve nothing. Suddenly, he stood up, a look of stony determination of his face. He was intent upon finding his favorite mirror, and nothing was going to stand in his way! He took one confident step forward before stumbling on his other foot and falling flat on his face! Embarrassed, he stood up quickly, brushing any dirt off his clothes and looking around him to see if anybody was there to witness his fall. He let out a sigh of relief when he didn't find anyone else there. His legs feeling a little shaky, he clumsily stepped out of his room. He was back inside his room in an instant, looking over his image in the full-length mirror. Satisfied, or as satisfied as he could be considering his situation, with his look, he proceeded to leave his room and find the rest of the fellowship. Maybe one of them will know where my favorite mirror is, he thought, and then I'll be able do my hair and makeup.
With this hopeful thought in mind, Legolas entered the clearing in which the rest of the fellowship were stationed. He saw everyone standing in a circle around somebody, talking loudly and simultaneously. He couldn't discern the identity of the figure, though. He cleared his throat, making his presence known…
...
Having had an ample amount of time, Pippin was now almost completely adapted to his new body. He no longer felt dizzy when standing up from a sitting position, his voice didn't scare him anymore, no longer did his use of logic shock him every time he used it, and he forgot about the abnormally large obtrusion on his chest. He even felt comfortable wearing a woman's dress. That didn't mean that he was like Legolas, though, and would start admiring himself in women's dresses in his full-length mirror everyday. He was just man enough to admit that women's clothing had a soft feel that made it very comfortable to wear. He felt so comfortable in them, in fact, that he was even thinking it was a good idea to get clothes made of a silky material instead of the material his current clothes (not the clothes he was wearing at that moment, but the clothes in his dresser back home) were made of.
Pippin was making his way back to the place where the fellowship members were last. Whereas the Pippin before the transformation would undoubtedly have been lost and unable to find his way back, the new perfect elf-girl Pippin can use his newly found logic to lead himself to the fellowship. That was one of the many advantages he found of being such a perfect creature. Another one, which he was eagerly awaiting to put to use… and very soon, he hoped… was the ability to humiliate Legolas even further.
He found that his entertainment-filled afternoon would be arriving a lot sooner than he hoped, for he suddenly found himself in front of the clearing in which the rest of the fellowship members could be found. He rubbed his hands together devilishly before taking a step forward…
…
Gandalf and Aragorn were holding a discussion about what they were going to do when they got their hands on Pippin. They looked none too happy, remembering what Pippin had done to each of their preciouses. Gandalf recovered from his breakdown quickly after Pippin had left and started cursing him mercilessly. He was currently thinking up rather violent but pleasing torture methods he could implement to cause Pippin's breakdown, and one that was permanent. A wicked, disturbing smile slowly etched itself upon Gandalf's face. Unbeknownst to him, for he was currently absorbed in replaying Pippin's decapitation (figurative decapitation, of course) in his mind again and again, a wicked smile was forming on Aragorn's features as well. He was currently replaying Pippin's literal decapitation with the use of his one and only Elendil in his mind.
Hesitantly snapping out of his violent thoughts, Aragorn shared his suggestion with Gandalf.
"I suggest we just kill him with my sword. That way, we get to see him die and I get my revenge on him for his blasphemous stunt", he said, his eyes twitching psychotically in twisted pleasure and his hands itching for revenge.
Gandalf, finding Aragorn's suggestion to be satisfactory and his reasoning to be convincing, said,
"That's a good idea, but before doing that, I propose we hex him into a stupor with my staff. That way, we'll get pleasure from torturing him, and I'll be able to get my revenge on him as well."
Aragorn nodded, and suddenly wicked laughter filled the air. Gandalf stared ahead at Aragorn with a scared expression on his face. A few moments later, Aragorn was still going at it, and, shrugging, Gandalf joined in.
Nearby were Frodo, Sam, and Merry, who were terrified by Gandalf's and Aragorn's shocking display of psychosis. They backed away very slowly, trying to get as far away from their clearly insane leaders as possible.
Suddenly, everyone stopped what they were doing as they saw a very beautiful creature enter the clearing. They were all mesmerized by her beauty, and were frozen to the spot, unable to speak, and do much else, actually. The air around her seemed to light up with flames, and she seemed to be walking in slow motion towards the fellowship, her hips swaying from side to side and her long hair billowing in the breeze. The mouths of the fellowship members were hanging open, and they were now standing in a puddle of drool. Suddenly, a scene of them drooling over Legolas flashed through their minds, shaking them out of their stupor. Embarrassed, they quickly wiped the drool off their mouths. "Hi, Legolas", they called out, as if nothing had happened. Then they started talking to each other, trying to hide their embarrassment from "Legolas". Pippin chuckled to himself. Only in his mind. Outwardly, though, he put on a mask of confusion.
"Who is this 'Legolas' you are referring to? I am not Legolas."
The rest of the fellowship members, at the sound of the woman's voice behind them, spun around shocked. That's not Legolas?! they thought. Then who is that?
"Who are you then?" Merry asked.
Pippin panicked. He hadn't thought of a name to tell them. What name could he use?
"Umm…Mary Sue…" he said impulsively. Mary Sue? Mary Sue?! That' s all I could think of?! That's not even an elf name! he thought to himself. Why hasn't my logic kicked in? he suddenly wondered. I suppose not even perfect elf girls are that quick.
While all that was going on in his mind, his outward appearance showed none of it. His face was set in a friendly smile the whole time.
"You don't suppose you could tell me your names, could you? You're all so handsome."
Pippin tried very hard not to laugh out loud as the rest of the fellowship surrounded him and started telling him their names all at once at the same time. They're probably relieved to know that they were drooling over a girl this time and not Legolas, Pippin thought, amused. He continued to smile at them. I can't wait until Legolas gets here!
He did not have to wait soon, though, for just then, he heard a throat being cleared behind him. He turned around to find Legolas walking towards him and the rest of the fellowship. Wicked laughter filled Pippin's mind.
The rest of the fellowship turned to face Legolas, leaving the path in front of "Mary-Sue" unblocked. Legolas glanced at her and quickly greeted her.
"Hi, Legolas."
Everyone else had amused expressions on their faces.
"Wait a second. I'm Legolas!" he suddenly exclaimed after realizing what he just said. "So then who's that elf?"
"She's a girl elf, Legolas. Her name is Mary-Sue", Aragorn said, snickering.
Legolas couldn't figure out what was so funny about that. All I did was think she was myself. Ooohhh!
He just thought that a girl elf looked like him…no, was him. Legolas was extremely embarrassed, and felt his face turning beet red at this realization. He quickly tried to mend the situation by laughing and pretending that it was all a joke. He could tell no one was taking it, though.
"Don't worry, Legolas. We all thought she was you!" Aragorn exclaimed with a smile on his face. Everyone except for Legolas started laughing at this. Legolas's lips were stuck in a state of pouting.
Seeing Legolas's look of discomfort, Pippin felt extremely satisfied for being able to humiliate Legolas. And without even trying! He just couldn't believe how wonderfully splendid this day was turning out to be! It just can't get better than this, he thought.
How wrong he was! Little did he know, Pippin's Unbelievably Wonderfully Splendid Day would soon be turning into an Impossibly Wonderfully Splendid Day!
