I'm going to ask once more PLEASE REVIEW!! I LIVE ON THEM!! ~~



Sam and Frodo walked up 2 hours later. "I'm sure they're fine Mr. Frodo.." Sam exclaimed.

"I know but I feel like somethings wrong..I just want to check." Frodo had this nagging feeling that something wasn't right..he just had to go see..

Mery awoke to feeling wet. "What the?" The whole bed was soaked. Pippin moaned coughing softly then curled closer to Merry. "Pip?" He touched his little cousin's face worried, "Oh God, wake up Pip come on..." He quickly looked around and saw a small bowl. Praying it was the wash basin he ran over to it. Thankfully it was, taking his last clean shirt he soaked it in the cool water then sponged Pip with it. "Come on wake up Pip..."

"Merry?" Frodo called as he and Sam walked in. He saw his second cousin hovering over Pippin. "What is it?"

"I'm going to move Pip, change the sheets, He's ill with Fever..."

Frodo and Sam nodded deciding they'd ask questions when everyone was calm.

Merry took his small cousin in his arms and brought him over to the chair while Frodo and Sam changed the sheets, "Come on..Pip..please..just open your eyes..." Merry was near tears when his cousin didn't even move. He carrassed Pippin's burning forehead gently, "Come on love, please for me..."

Pippin groaned stirring weakly. "That's it Pip come on..." Merry urged. Pippin's eyes slowly opened then took in to much light making him shut them again. Pippin opened them again slower and when they focased he saw a teary eyed Merry looking down on him. "Merry?" He croaked.

"Oh Pip!" Merry hugged his cousin fever or not he didn't care. "Let's change you into a dry shirt. You've got quite a fever."

Pippin wrinkled his nose confused, "You don't have any more shirts..do you?"

Merry sighed Pippin was right, "Sam I need a clean shirt...don't care who it's from."

Sam obeyed and found one of Frodo's shirts. Frodo was about Pip's size so it would fit him better. "Here..is he going to be alright?"

Pippin's eyes began to water, "Merry, I think I'm going to be sick......."

Sam looked around and found the 'waste' bowl. "Here Mr. Merry.."

Merry gently sat Pippin on the ground infront of the bowl. Pippin contracted and shuddered as he let out everything he'd eaten yesterday. After that Pippin's small body convusled one more time bring out bile. "It's alright baby.." Merry said soothingly holding Pippin's curls back. "You done?" Pippin nodded weakly using his cousin as a pillow.

"Here..." Frodo thrusted a large glass filled with some water, "Drink a little.."

"Is there a healer here?" Merry pondered out loud. H epulled Pippin's wet shirt off thne put Frodo's clean shirt on his friend.

"I have no idea..." Frodo put the last blanket back on the bed the turned the sheets down. "Put him in bed and I'll go see if I can find one."

Merry nodded and watched Sam dress Frodo for the trip around the gloomy wet town. He carried Pippin over to the bed covering his sick cousin up with the heavy covers.

"You sure you don't want me to come with you Mr. Frodo?"

Frodo smiled shaking his head, "I'm sure Sam, Merry needs your help with Pip. I'll be alright."

Sam sighed, "Good luck.."
