Day 7

Pippin

            Arrived at Mount Doom, only to have Jack tell us that he had a meeting in Tortuga in two hours, so we were forced to turn around. Elizabeth has now cut her hair so it looks identical to ours. Kind of freaky, especially since she never shuts her mouth. Merry has gone so far as to get a Mohawk. Very cool. Thinking afro is more my style, Jack said he would fix my hair like his. Hurrah! Legolas refuses to change his hair, even though Will offered to do it for him. Merry and I have a plan for Legolas tonight…Gimli in huffy mood, says he wants to look like Hobbit. Offered to help, but Legolas won't let him. Getting fed up with bossy elf. Asked Jack if I could borrow pistol. Told me he only had one shot left. Told him it was for elf. Now carry a pistol…

            Aragorn ran out of rum. Somewhat back to normal. Pouting that he missed the entire mission, and that he's out of rum. Keeps mumbling something about not yet being King. Merry says if Aragorn gave everybody free rum, he'd be king. Yeah right. And I'd be Jack's wife…Will critiqued Sting today. Said since he was a blacksmith, he was fascinated by swords. When he said the color blue was most tacky, Frodo tried to slice his throat. Sam had no objections.

            Sam told Elizabeth that Gimli was actually a hobbit. He was just more hairy because he was the bravest and strongest hobbit of them all. Now Gimli has both Elizabeth and Aragorn waiting on him. If I didn't know better, I'd say he's rather enjoying it. Sam also told Legolas and Will that there was a Cost Cutters miles back. He told them that today only there was a special where you could get free haircuts, washings, and manicures. Haven't seen either of them for an hour now. Haven't seen Sam or Frodo for a while either. Huh.

            Merry found some fresh vegetables. Said he got them from Haldir…I don't believe him. Said they needed to be washed, so while Jack took a short nap, we stole his hat and used it as a sink. Unfortunately, he woke up and yelled, "Fool of a Took!" and took back his hat…I think he likes me. Merry is most upset. He went off and had a pout. When I went to find him he was conversing among trees. Decided to join him. Who needs the fellowship anyway, maybe if I find some decent pipe weed I'll meet up with them again? Although, going to miss Jack. Oh, well. At least I have his pistol to remember him by…
