I would like to thank The Book Guru for the idea.

The remaining members of the Fellowship quietly crossed into the tree line. Not a single word had been spoken since after exiting the Mines of Moria. Tears had been shed and prayers sent up. However, none were more sad the Pippin. He blamed himself for Gandalf's death. Aragorn tried to explain to him that it wasn't his fault, but to no avail.

"Will Pippin get out of the gloomy state he's in?" Merry asked the 8-Ball.

Very Doubtful.

"That's a bit much. Um…" he grinned. "Will Pip walk into a tree?"

"What kind of a question is-" WHAP! Pippin fell backwards onto the ground clutching the left side of his face. "Ow! Why'd you ask it that for!"

"Wanted to see if it'd work. And it did." Merry grinned down at him.

His cousin growled and got up. He charged and both of them went running through the trees, Gimli shouting about keeping close and a sorceress, or something like that. Once again no one was paying him any mind.

"Will you stop having people ignore me?" he growled.

Sorry.

The 8-Ball slipped from Merry's hand. He slid to a stop and turned, but Pippin was already shaking it up. "What did you ask it?"

"You'll see."

"Pip, tell me n- ACK!" he bent over coughing and sputtering. "WHAT DID YOU ASK IT!?"

"Whether or not you would choke on a bug. Will Merry choke on another?"

You May Rely On It.

"You didn't…"

"I did."

"Merry! Pippin!" Aragorn called.

"Give it back!" Merry lunged. Both Hobbits crashed into the ground. They fought for a few moments before he wrestled out of Pippin's hands. "Will Legolas trip on a tree root?"

"Don't drag me into this." Legolas mumbled, just moments before his foot struck a root. He face-planted, arrows splaying across the ground. "Why is everything happening so fast now! We have time!" he rolled over just in time to find an arrow in him face. It took him a moment to realize it wasn't his. And that it was attached to a bow. And to an Elf's hand.

He glanced around noting that they all did. Haldir stepped forward. "The Dwarf breathes so loud, we could have shot him in the dark."

Gimli huffed. "Never mind the two nitwits waking the dead!"

He looked over at him, face expressionless. (shocking)

Sorry this is so short. I'm like the worlds largest procrastinator so this was all I got down.
