Make thy enemy pay by disillusion
"Well that was OK compared to some of his other tantrums," said Elladan as he and his brother left the office, which, because it was on the ground floor, was starting to flood with water.
"Can his tantrums get any worse?!" said Elrohir who was a bit more sensitive than his brother and didn't like being yelled at.
Merry and Pippin came around the corner, struggling though the (hobbit) knee high water
Elladan waved his hands in front of him. "I wouldn't come this way if I were you! Dad's on a rampage."
"Yeah," put in his brother, "he's after your blood!"
"So he took the fact that his house has become a swimming pool pretty well then?" asked Pippin innocently.
"As well as dad ever takes things like that!"
At that moment Elrond waded out of his study door. His eyes fell on the unfortunate hobbits.
He started slowly towards them.....
"This time you've gone to far......" his voice was quiet and dangerous.
"Pip," said Merry, his voice shaking with fear and excitement, "Now if any is the time to......"
He didn't get a chance to finish his sentence. Elrond let out a sound caught between a war cry and a maddening scream. He shot after the fleeing Halflings.
Running all over the entire valley of Imladris, slipping on wet floors and drowning in the courtyards was a regular occurrence over the next few hours, but that didn't make it enjoyable for the hobbits or in fact Elrond.
Elrohir hadn't been kidding when he said 'after your blood'. Every now and again Pippin and Merry heard a shriek or a yell from behind them but they never turned around.
The reasons they weren't in the elf lord's clutches was the water, his gowns which restricted, and the small fact that he couldn't swim.
"I'm so glad I was brought up in Buckland!" gasped Merry as he dived into a particularly deep stretch of water. Pippin did a belly flop but still managed to duck-dive under the surface.
They swam across to the other side and scrambled onto dry land, shaking their curly hair free of water, like a dog.
Now, they looked back to see an out of breath, but still very angry Elrond standing on the other side.
"I'LL GET YOU! IT MAY TAKE ME LONGER TO GET OVER THERE BUT I'LL GET YOU!!!"
With that he trudged off, finding another way around the water.
"Quick Pip!" spluttered Merry, clambering to his feet, "Let's find somewhere to hide! It won't take him that long to get here!"
They sprinted off down the flooded corridor.
"Merry, Merry!" hissed Pippin, "I can't run any more! Please Merry!"
"Don't worry you don't have to any more!" said a voice.
Someone grabbed them from behind and muffled their screams with a hand. They were dragged into a side room a dumped onto the floor.
"HE'S GOT US MERRY!" yelled Pippin, "IT'S ALL OVER, WE'RE SQUISHED! I'M TOO CUTE TO DIE!"
He forced his eyes open and was greeted by the sight of Frodo doubled over, laughing. Sam was chuckling behind him. Pippin felt extremely embarrassed and he blushed deep crimson.
"Honestly Frodo!" said Merry hands on his hips, "You could have just walked up to us!"
"We wanted to punish you!" said Frodo, still ecstatic, from Pippin's little out burst, "For causing all this trouble! And to give you a shock at the same time!"
"But you guys were part of the trouble!" said Pippin, starting to recover, "You helped!"
"You're the ring leaders!" exclaimed Sam, he pointed a finger at Pippin.
"Yes but......"
"Shut it!"
Everyone went quiet just in time to hear panting, wheezing and the constant mutters of; "I can't let them win! I can't let them win!" outside the door.
Through the crack in the door they saw Elrond hurrying away.
"He'll pay for this Pip." whispered Merry, "You mark my words, he'll pay."
Elrond's splashing soon died away.
"Ok," whispered Merry, just encase someone should over hear. "We have another quest for the Fellowship of Rule Breakers. Same place, same time. Spread the word."
Elrond had been searching for them for hours. He was cold, wet, tired and hungry, because he had missed both lunch and dinner. He decided to retreat to his nice dry bedroom which was on a higher floor.
He opened the door and stumbled in. He blinked, turned around, walked out and shut the door again.
Yet again he opened his door. No, there was no mistaking it. Everything, and we mean everything, was upside down.
His bed, his wardrobe, the carpet, and everything else. He didn't know how it had happened, but Merry and Pippin had fooled him again.
If only he had been in that little room on the other side of the building, where the Fellowship of Rule Breakers were discussing the days earlier events.
"Thank for the lend of the ladders, Legolas," said the 'Prince of Pranks'. "And the superglue, Aragorn!"
True, it had been a hard four hours work, but it had been worth it!
"We've stolen another wondrous victory!" said Arwen.
"Speaking of stolen..." said Lindir, a smile fleeting across his face.
From behind his back he produced a bottle of Imladras's finest bubbly and ten crystal glasses.
This act was greeted by loud cheers.
Meanwhile, Elrond was trying to pull himself up into his bed. After several attempts, all of which evolved him falling out and onto a hard 'ceiling', he grabbed his rubber mat, snuck downstairs, and settled down for the night on his desk in his waterlogged study.
As the last star became visible in the night sky, the Fellowship of Rule Breakers raised their glasses high in a toast.
"To rule breaking!" said Merry loudly, standing on tip toes to reach the human and elves glasses, "Life's greatest attribute!"
A.N. Thorney hopes you all like sweetdeath04's quote about Pippin being too cute to die. She also hopes that there are some people out there that are as obsessed with Billy Boyd and Pippin as she is!
