It was a peaceful morning at the Fellowship's house.Aragorn sat idly on the porch.It had been a whole day since anyone had argued and he was rather enjoying the calm.None of the others were awake yet,he guessed.

But he guessed wrong.In Legolas and Gimli's room,a fight was going on.

"GIMLI!What is this?!" asked Legolas,holding up a yellowish half-moon-shaped splinter.

"Oh..that would be a toenail." said Gimli,examining it.

"Why,may I ask,were you clipping your TOENAILS in my bed?" asked Legolas,trying to keep control.

"Well,I didn't wanna do that in MY bed,obviously." explained Gimli.

In Merry's room,Pippin and Merry sat around a small fire burning in a pail on the floor,roasting marshmallows and hotdogs.Suddenly there came a knock on the door.

"Hey,guys,I think I smell something burning.Are you okay?" asked Boromir,coughing,from outside the door.

"Uh,yeah we're fine!" yelled Merry quickly,as Pippin sniggered.

"Can I come in then?" asked Boromir,suspious.He'd had enough experience with these two.

"Uh,yeah,but hold on,I'm..uh..naked!Yeah,I'm naked!" said Pippin,thinking quickly.

"Again?!" asked Boromir,incredulous.

"Yeah.Boy,do I love to be naked." said Pippin,"Put out the fire." he added.speaking in an undertone to Merry.

Merry moved to do so, but he tripped and fell,causing the pail to turn over.Soon,his pants and the carpet were on fire.

"I'm on fire!" cried Merry,rolling.

"You're naked AND on fire?" asked Boromir,mistaking him for Pippin.

Genius that Boromir was,he had never checked to see if the door was even locked.He turned the knob and to his very great surprise,the door opened.The sight that met his eyes might have been humorous,if it hadn't been their new house.

Merry was rolling around on the carpet,part of which was smouldering.Pippin was hopping on the burning carpet,and a mound of hot dogs and marshmallows large enough to feed a small army,lay forgotten.Boromir grabbed Merry and beat the fire down on his pants,burning himself in the process.He then knocked Pippin out of the way and stamped out the fire.

"Whew!" said Boromir,wiping his forehead.

"D'ya think Gandalf and Aragorn will notice?" asked Pippin,munching happily on a hot dog.

~~~~~~

Ten minutes earlier,Gandalf got out of bed.He was in the bathroom brushing his teeth when he heard wild yells from upstairs.He walked up to the second floor.

"FOOL OF A TOOK!"
