Thank you to ALL my reviewers, HMC, Lady of Mirkwood, Pippin Heart. Okay well on with the dreaded DISCLAIMER!!!! (Echo)

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own LOTR or any of its characters or places.

Oh yeah I know I kind of skipped ahead on the last battle scene thing, yeah but lets pretend that it happened and this chapter is after Aragon was made King. Sorry

Fire and Glass

The wedding was a spectacular one, it took place in the gardens of the Houses of Healing, were Eowyn and Faramir had first meet. Eowyn, whose father and uncle were both dead, asked Merry to walk with her down the aisle.

"Of course Milady, it would be an honor."

Soon silver trumpets rang and all the Fellowship, and kinsmen whom had been invited, looked down to watch Eowyn wearing a simple white cotton dress flowing behind her in the breeze. Her hair, long and golden, had been braided, and hung at her lower back. Wild flowers she had in one hand and Merry's hand the other.

"There's a sight for sore eye's no mistakin" Samwise commented

The wedding went on and soon everyone was at the feast, which the hobbits had no complaint to. Everyone laughed and sang and drank. It was very late, (Or early since it was about 3:00 in the morning) when everyone went back to his or her rooms. Merry and Pippin staggered all the way down the hall, Pippin singing a little with a mug of ale still in his hand.

"Come on Merry! Sing with Me! Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go…" Merry laughed and took a hold of his cousins arm,

"Pip, I think you've had more than enough, but don't come crying to me when you get a hangover in the morning."

"Oh come now Merry, I'm not THAT drunk I'm just a little tipsy that's all."

"Right and pigs have wings."

"They do?" Pippin joked, suddenly another spasm of pain went through his back and he screamed crawling onto the floor hugging his knees.

"Pippin! Pippin what's wrong?"

"Get away! Get away!" Pippin begged half thinking of Denathor, half not wanting his cousin to see him like this.

Soon Gandalf was in the hall after hearing Pippin's screams, he took Pippin into his arms, "Follow me Meriadoc."

Merry followed Gandalfs long strides, with a quick jog. Soon they went into Merry's room, which was the nearest to them. He laid Pippin on the bed, took off the top layer, of clothing, Pippin was covered in sweat and writhing. He took off the old bandages and Merry gasped in horror at the deep cuts on his cousin's back which looked bluish-red, they throbbed and it was a very disturbing sight to behold. Gandalf put an ointment on his back, which was cool and soothing. He cleaned and rewrapped the wounds, he turned to Merry, sadness in his facial features, "I'll let you wait here until he is well enough to speak."

Merry nodded.

'Oh Pippin, who ever made you in this state, I'll kill him with my bare hands. I promise'
