Disturbing the Council of Elrond .:. Rivendell .:.


Pippin and Merry stared out of the window into the thick and luscious forest outside the archway covering the bench they were positioned on. Frodo was still sick in bed from the stupid Ringwraiths and Sam had decided to camp out by his bed until his brown-haired friend woke, leaving the two redheads out of targets for pranks.

Giving each other a look as a group of elves passed by, they subtly shook their heads in the negative, elves were too big and they held grudges too long, seeing as they never died to bother pranking. They sighed again as a group of dwarves walked by. They may be the same size but they tended to spit a lot and not feeling like a shower, Merry and Pippin stayed away.

Their eyes lit up when some human walked by, seemingly in a daze. Giving each other a look, they both shook their heads 'yes' and got an evil glimmer in their eyes. They quickly left their bench and rushed into the bushes before the human could see them. Looking around for supplies to use, Pippin let off a squeak of joy at finding mushrooms. He took a few to his mouth, ready to eat them but Merry stopped him and shook his head.

Getting the same idea, Pippin began picking all the grayish mushrooms out of the warm soil and they each took as much as they could into their hands, stuffing the rest in their bag for later. Merry rushed across the path into the bushes on the other side behind the man and began whispering quietly to the man but making sure he was hidden away from anyone's eyes.

"You are not welcome here…this is the House of Mushmom's mushrooms and you are trespassing…" Merry began; ducking below the brush as the man's eyes quickly darted to the left where Merry was hiding. As the red haired man began moving towards the bushes, Pippin joined in, "you are not welcome! Leave now or feel the Mushmom's wrath!"

His eyes darted to the right now but Pippin was well hidden in the brush, almost being one with all the nature around. Merry held back a laugh as the man's eye twitched. "Who are you?" He yelled.

"We are the Mushmom's servants and we do not take to trespassers lightly!" they yelling in unison, confusing the poor man more at not knowing where to turn. "Turn back now or feel our wrath!"

The man gave a nervous snort and ran his hands through his long hair, there was no way he was going to run from someone when he had every right to be here. "I refuse to leave for no reason! I deserve to walk freely where I please!" When there was no answer he grinned to himself at his triumph.

"…So be it…" was all he heard before he was pelted with mushrooms from both sides. Not sure what to do he drew his sword but when one well-thrown mushroom got caught in his mouth as he opened it to yell, he decided against it and ran back the way he had come, his eye twitching all the while.

"Not bad Pip, but lets keep this going shall we?" Merry asked and they silently followed the man as he returned to his room. They hid behind more brush that was across from the room and when the man left, muttering to himself, they snuck in and left the red-haired man a little present for later.

They grabbed some carrots they had stored away for later and waited for the man to return. They didn't have to wait long as they saw him coming back towards his room not 1 hour later, still muttering to himself. They had to hit each other on head to keep themselves quiet as they heard some of the mutterings, "mushrooms…nothing wrong with…did nothing wrong…mushrooms…"

After a few minutes of baited breath they heard a screech from inside the room and burst out laughing as the man ran out of his room, covered in mushrooms and screaming his apologies to 'Mushmom' at the top of his lungs. Deciding to follow, the two young hobbits quickly and quietly followed the man at a far enough distance not to be noticed as he headed to some sort of chamber.

"Now everyone, you have been gathered here to answer the threat of Mordor…" the elf leader Elrond began and the hobbits giggled to themselves as they hid behind pillars when they saw the man had run here, clearly not ready for the meeting. He had stopped his muttering and screaming but his eye twitched almost constantly and he kept looking around nervously. Just a little bit more…

As the elf leader continued, Merry and Pippin situated themselves closer to the man, fingering the last of the gray mushrooms they had picked earlier. He seemed to be father away from everyone else and therefore the two hobbits found it possible to give one last threat before they finished the pathetic human off.

"You have angered Mushmom, she will have her vengeance," they whispered in unison before pelting the last of the mushrooms all over him. He screamed and ran out of the room yelling about Mushmom and the evil mushrooms bent on his destruction, his voice ringing down the corridors for a few minutes, the entire council looking at their leader for advice on what to do.

Elrond cleared his throat, "well, it seems Boromir is indisposed at the moment, we'll just hope he doesn't have a complete breakdown before we finish this meeting," and with that the council continued. Merry and Pippin ran away and began laughing hysterically at how well the prank had gone and how weird this man was.


A/N: I wasn't actually thinking of really continuing but since some people are actually enjoying it I shall continue it just for you D I'm sorry I haven't updated in…wow last year! I'm so sorry! My only excuse is that my computer was down and I couldn't even get it to work without it freezing up. I shall try to get another update up when I think of a good prank. Sorry if this wasn't the best, I'm having some bad writer's block.
