Wow, chapter 5 already. I like how this story is developing! I really had NO idea how to get anywhere in this story when I started it. I only had a beginning for this one and a beginning for it's sequel. Most of this story is written on a whim, ya know. It's awesome thats people even like it! Thanks SO much for reviewing and being great readers! You guys are the best!
DewDrop Sapphire: Thanx! The title was kind of random, on the spot, ya know? I thought it would be suitable because of Pippa's personality. Did I post on Father's Day? I didn't even notice. lol.

Pippa got up late into the night and went over to her bathroom. She picked up her toothpaste tube and her shaving cream and walked back into her room where she grabbed a black pen from her bedside table. She then creeped into her friends rooms and went over to Will first. She shook up her shaving cream and drew a happy face on his chest. She then took the pen and drew a moustache and goatee on his face and covered the rest of him in toothpaste. She then moved on to Alexis. She took the shaving cream and covered Alexis's hair and then put toothpaste on top of the shaving cream. Then she took the pen and drew glasses around her eyes and happy faces on each of her cheeks. She then drew random scribbles all over her friend's body with toothpaste. By the time she was finished this, she had no toothpaste left. She stood back to view her work. It looked good and she was satisfied. With a nod she turned around and went back to bed.
Pippa got up early in the morning, around 7:00 (which happened to be early for her because she normally got up at about 9:00) and went to find Legolas. She found him walking towards the archery range.
"Legolas!" Pippa called, speeding up to catch him. He turned around and looked at her, surprised.
"Pippa!? You're up early! Why?" Legolas asked.
"Let's just say I had fun with toothpaste, shaving cream, and a permanent marker." Pippa said with a grin. "By the way, I need more toothpaste." Legolas just stared at her for a bit, then it hit him.
"Did you-?" Legolas began, but he was cut off from a scream coming from the direction of the twin's rooms. Rather high pitched and ear peircing, as well.
"I see Alexis has woken up." Pippa said with a smile. Shortly after a male voice could be heard cursing his friend. The twins spent the rest of the morning in the showers.
"Pippa, I think you're crazy." Legolas said to her as the walked around outside before breakfast. "I didn't think you'd actually DO something about them!"
"You obviously don't know me that well then. I'm usually one to act upon my words and put my money where my mouth is." Pippa replied with a wink. Legolas didn't have a chance to reply because the bell rang to signal breakfast.
Pippa and Legolas spent most of the day packing things into their cart. After lunch Will and Alexis showed up, glaring at Pippa who could only laugh at the state of her friends. She had used a premanent marker to draw on them and it was quite clear that they had had a tough time getting rid of it. Their faces were rubbed raw and the marks were only faded. Their hair looked overly washed and was rather frizzy and dry.
"That was NOT nice, Pippa!" Alexis said as she started carrying bags to the cart.
"Well neither was your little rhyme yesterday." Pippa said.
"We spent ALL morning in the showers, Pippa." Will said seriously.
"And I spent all night thinking of a suitable way to equally humiliate you." Pippa replied, continuing to load the cart. At this they just stopped talking and continued to work. Legolas could only laugh at how serious they were being over this. In his point of view, it was only shaving cream, toothpaste and a pen! And they got it off. The worst of it anyways. But by dinner time, the teenagers where joking and laughing again.
During dinner Pippa was strangly quiet and she picked at her food most of the night.
"Pippa? You okay?" Legolas asked after observing her peculiar behaviour.
"Yeah. I think. Can I talk to you later?" Pippa replied.
"Sure." Legolas said with a strange look in her direction. He went back to eating his dinner. Later that night Legolas met Pippa outside her room.
"You wanted to talk to me?" Legolas said with a worried expression on his face.
"Yeah. Let's walk." Pippa replied. They went outside and started walking through the forest in silence.
"Why did you kiss me?" Pippa said after a long time. She's spent the whole time thinking of the best way to say it but in the end she chose the obvious, straight-forward route.
"Because...over the past 4 weeks, I've become attracted to you. I'm sorry if I offended you." Legolas replied after a little thought.
"You didn't offend me, don't worry. You just...surprised me, that's all." Pippa assured him.
"I'd like to see more of you, Pippa. I hope you feel the same way as me." Legolas said. Pippa didn't reply. She just kept walking side by side with the blonde elf, thinking. After a while, Legolas began to think it was a lost cause. But Pippa stopped. She looked at Legolas and looked deep into his eyes. Then she nodded. Legolas just looked at her with surprise. When the fact that Pippa has just accepted his offer he smiled a huge grin and kissed her passionately. By the time they went back inside it was midnight. However they all managed to get out of bed early the next morning and leave for Rivendell.

there ya go! I'm sorry this chapter is so short. It just seemed like an appropriate place to end this chappie. What do you think? So-So? Moving too fast? Great? Hate? tell me what you think by reviewing!!!
