Chapter 6: Pippin and the Pope
Aragorn and Legolas worked quickly to remove the luggage from atop Pippin while discussing Arwen.
"I can't believe that she followed us here. that's like. freaky." Legolas said as he removed his green suitcase from atop Pippins head.
"She didn't follow us here." Aragorn said pulling Pippin out. "She followed the Laptop here. She is drawn to its power, every moment of every day she hears it, calling to her. She follows its power. Until this thing is destroyed, she will follow it, trying to get it."
Pippin looked at Aragorn, then Legolas. "That sounds oddly familiar." He commented. "But I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really don't know why."
"Yeah, it really does, doesn't it?" Aragorn said.
Soon they were in their room unpacking and discussing who would be sleeping on the couch, for the room only had 2 beds, and none were too keen to double up.
"You really don't want to see an uncomfortable hobbit." Pippin said pleadingly. "It wouldn't be that great to walk around Italy with a tired hobbit."
Legolas looked extremely thoughtful at this comment. After a few seconds thought he said, "Ok, Pip gets one of the beds."
Aragorn and Legolas then looked at each other.
"How do we decide between the two of us?" Aragorn asked.
Legolas snickered. "We could have an archery contest." Said he.
Aragorn snorted. "Only if we can then have a sword fight."
They stared at each other.
Pippin then piped up. "Why don't we let Aragorn have it because Legolas, you don't need to sleep." The Elf and the Man looked at Pip in awed disbelief. Then facing each other again, Aragorn asked,
"Did Pippin just say something smart?"
"I think that he did." Legolas replied.
So that ended the trouble with the beds. That night, Pippin and Aragorn slept on their rotten hotel beds, although they thought that it was better then the ground, while Legolas stayed happily watching EMN. Elvish Movie Network.
The next morning, Legolas roused his two traveling companions at the crack of 6 happily. He had watched 4 straight hours of M*A*S*H in Elvish after EMN started playing Horror movies. He didn't want to tell anyone, but Horror movies scared him.
"Rise and embrace the day my little mortal friends!" He said throwing open the curtains and kicking Aragorn out of bed.
Pippin appeared from the sheets looking highly disheveled. "Its too early to be waking up."
Legolas looked at the Hobbit disapprovingly. "Peregrin son of Paladin of the house of Took, I have already showered, brushed and dried my hair, set out what you guys are going to wear, gotten dressed myself, and ordered a magnificent breakfast, and M*A*S*H only ended 15 min. ago."
Pippin opened his mouth in awe as Aragorn rose from the ground holding his sword in an attack position. Kings of Gondor do not like being awaken in such a rude manner.
"Aragorn, if you're going to try and attack me, I'd suggest trying to be quiet." Legolas said walking out of the room. He then called, "Pippin, Aragorn, one of you shower while the other packs today's food. Whoever does it needs to remember plenty of water."
Pippin immediately claimed the right of packing their food, while Aragorn started bellowing about how he didn't need to shower. It took Legolas threatening him with a bow to get him into the bathroom, then another half an hour of shouting at the King for him to finally turn on the shower and get in. He still refused to wash his hair, but he at least got it wet.
Meanwhile Pippin was pattering around trying to pack their food. Legolas had given him 3 bags in which he would place the food and instructions not to pack malleable food. Pippin just wished that they could have borrowed Bill from Sam. A good Pony would have been useful at that time Pippin had thought.
It was around 8 o'clock when they were finally ready to leave. They were all wearing travelling clothes and their nice Lothlorien cloaks. Legolas and Aragorn had finished packing their food (just a few treats in case they get hungry,) while Pippin showered and got ready.
"Aragorn, should we bring a camera?" Legolas asked in Elvish as they began to leave.
"Why, I believe we should! I packed my digital, just hold a moment, I'll go get it!" Aragorn said sounding slightly giddy.
Pippin looked grouchily at the King of Gondor as he returned with a nice digital camera. "Why do you always get such nice stuff?"
Aragorn chuckled as they left. "Called taxes young Hobbit."
Soon they had taken the bus to the subway, and the subway to the stop near the Vatican (forgot its name). So they walked toward the entrance to Vatican City.
The thing is, when they got in line to get in, they started moving extremely slow. so slow that Pippin had time to make up a song. It went like this . . .
"We are a . . . herd of turtles, a little herd of turtles! We move so slow we're going ba-ackwards! Woah oh oh, we are a herd of turtles, a little herd of turtles, we are moving so slow we're going backwards!!! Oh woah oh these hurdly turtles are we!" Pippin belted out disturbing several nearby pigeons.
"Pippin, shut up." Aragorn said as Pippin started singing it again. Once they were inside and Legolas stopped to look at a painting.
"Yes, please." Said an elderly man nearby reading a magazine.
Pippin bowed to the man and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, sir."
The old man just shrugged it off and continued reading the magazine. Legolas looked at the cover and recognized it as a rumor mongering tabloid. he read the cover anyway. In bold letters it said,
"VATICAN RED ALERT" Under that it said,
"THE POPE IS MISSING! 'He seems to have just wandered off' says a agitated cardinal."
Aragorn was reading it too and opened his mouth. "Wow, really?"
The Elderly man looked at Aragorn and said, "No, I'm not missing."
All three travelers looked at the Elderly man and let out a yelp of surprise.
"It's the Pope." Pippin said his mouth open.
"Yeah, it is," Aragorn said.
"I thought that he looked familiar." Legolas commented.
They excused themselves to go start looking around.
(A/N: In case you people don't know, but the cathedrals in Italy are in the shape of a cross. So they have a long building with two wings off near the far side of the building. Its really cool, because the Vatican is in a square that is shaped like a key. The part where the building is, is the head of the key, and then you got a road, then you have yourself a nice little square again! Ok, back to the story!)
As Aragorn and Legolas started watching mass, Pippin wandered off to where the Pope was again. (Don't ask me why the pope is still there. It's just easier this way.)
Pippin sat down next to the Pope and said, "Hullo."
The Pope nodded.
"So, you're the Pope?"
"Yes, I am."
Pippin said, "oh" and sat staring at the picture in front of him.
After a while Legolas and Aragorn noticed that Pippin was gone.
"Dang!" Aragorn said looking around. "We have got to tell him to stop wandering off!"
Legolas stood stock sill for a moment, obviously listening for something.
"He's where we saw the Pope, I think I can distinguish the sound of his voice . . ."
Aragorn was immediately off, ready to tell Pippin that he couldn't have any treats for a while. Then he saw Pippin sitting next to the Pope telling him that orcs smell really bad.
"Uhhhh, Pippin we need to go." Aragorn said uncertainly.
"Oh, ok . . ." Pippin sadly said. He was standing up when Aragorn secretly took a picture of Pippin and the Pope.
(A/N: I'm sorry, that took an unbelievable amount of time to put up . . . Ok, where to next? Should they have dinner with my relatives that live in Italy, should they go shopping, should they find out that Elrond is having dinner with my relatives and the Fellowship receives a quest? Or what?)
