Hi everybody! I'm in a good mood today so I decided to write another
chapter!!! I made this up when I finished my test (writing TAKS) early in
school. But before I begin, I have a couple of things to say:
First of all, thanks goes to Reasonably crazy, because she is the only one who has reviewed all of my chapters for this story! Thank you!!!
Also, elfitchick (did I spell that right?) wanted to know what band I'm in. I'm in our Jr. High symphonic band and I am currently 2nd chair in the flute section! I'm kinda a band geek too. By the way, FLUTE ROCKS!!!!!
And lastly, I would like to say that I hope this chapter will be longer and please butterflyer, who asked for longer chapters!!! : )
Now that I'm done with all that, here's chapter 5!
Disclaimer: If you recognize it, chances are I don't own it.
The Tricks of Merry and Pippin
The Fellowship was tired. They had walked all day over rough terrain. Merry, who was carrying Pippin's stuff as well as his own, fell asleep as soon as they set up camp. Frodo and Sam were soon to follow.
"Looks like the little ones are all tuckered out," Gimli commented as he, Aragorn, Legolas and Boromir looked at the sleeping hobbits.
"They should be," Boromir said, "considering we walked two miles in the wrong direction because of somebody" He looked at Aragorn. "I thought you were a Ranger."
"I am!" Aragorn shouted defiantly, "It's just I was expecting Gandalf to lead but ever since he turned Pippin into a - a - a -"
"Frog," Legolas offered.
"Yeah, that. Well ever since then, he's sort of slacked off a bit."
"I've noticed that too," Legolas said, "The other day when I asked him if we should stop and make camp he ignored me and continued singing his annoying song."
"Well, I guess we'll just have to discuss this in the morning, because I don't know about anyone else but I'm going to bed." Aragorn said.
"I'll take first watch, and then Legolas can for the rest of the night." Boromir said, yawning.
The others agreed and went off to bed.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Merry awoke to the smell of bacon and eggs.
"Well Pip, I guess it's time to eat," he said cheerfully. Breakfast always made him cheerful.
He reached over to where Pippin was, only to find the fat toad was gone.
"Where could he be? Oh you've really done it this time Meriadoc Brandybuck!" he grumbled as he looked for his cousin.
Pretty soon Sam came over to see why he wasn't scarfing down food like he normally was this time of the day.
"What are you looking for?" he asked.
"I've lost Pippin."
"What?! How did that happen?"
At this point Aragorn walked over, wondering what the two hobbits were doing. When Sam told him what happened, he organized a search party. Everyone except for Gandalf began to look.
"Gandalf! Why aren't you helping?" Frodo asked after a while.
Gandalf just smiled and puffed his pipe, like he always did those days.
Frodo sighed and walked away.
Soon Aragorn told everybody to meet back and tell their results. Everyone was empty-handed.
"Legolas, come here," Aragorn said, "Why weren't you watching Pippin last night?" he inquired.
"Don't you think I have better things to do than watch a-"
"FROG!" someone shouted.
There, perched on top of Aragorn's head, was Pippin the Frog.
"ARGH! GET IT OFF OF ME!!!!!!!!!!" the Ranger yelled at the top of his lungs, "HELP! HELP! SOMEONE GET IT OFF OF MY HEAD!!!
Even if someone wanted to, none of the Fellowship could help Aragorn. They were all rolling on the ground with laughter. The sight of this so-called brave man trying to fling a frog off of his head was just too funny.
"LEGOLAS! GET OVER HERE NOW AND GET THIS THING OFF OF MY HEAD!!!"
The elf tried to stand up and failed because he was too weak with laughter. "Sorry *gasp* I *heehee* cant help *gasp* you!"
Aragorn gave Legolas a dirty look before finally flinging the frog to the ground. He then walked off and said something about finding firewood, his hair covering his red face. This only made his companions laugh harder.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Aragorn was back and ready to kill the next person to say "FROG!" in his ear. Everyone left him alone, though, after he threatened to smash Pippin.
As the sun was setting and night was falling, the Fellowship of the Ring (minus Aragorn, who was still sulking, and Gandalf, who was still acting strange) was having a conference. Merry had a tight grip on Pippin.
"I think we should demand that Mr. Gandalf change Master Pippin back into a hobbit," Sam said.
"But look at him, Sam," Frodo said, "I've never seen him so happy."
Everyone looked at the old wizard, who was singing and dancing.
"If you like Pina Coladas. Gettin' caught in the rain." He started trying to break dance, but failed, so settled for the twist instead.
The Fellowship looked away in disgust.
"Ooookay. That was kind of weird."
"Maybe we should ask him tomorrow."
"Yeah."
"I guess."
A/N: And that's the end of chapter 5! Will Pippin remain a frog forever? Will Gandalf come to his senses? Will Aragorn ever get over his fear of frogs? If you want to know the answer to these questions and more, click on the review button and type a review. Even if you couldn't care less what happens review anyway! Oh yeah, I hope that's long enough for butterflyer!!!
