Here is the next chapter. Hermione Eveningfall: I'm glad you liked the story, though I will say one thing because I'm allowed to speak my opinion. ^^ I love Slash and I am a proud writer of it. But that's ok if you don't. I'm not mad!! Just glad you like this story. Pippin Pain is in this chapter. ~~
15 minutes later Pippin and Merry were dressed in their pajamas or really some they had borrowed from their cousin.
"I still don't want to do this Merry." Pippin said sniffling.
"Well if you had listened and not jumped in the snow drifts like I asked, it might not have happened."
"You're mad at me."
"No I'm not come here." Merry opened his arms holding his cousin. "Shh don't cry baby. I'm not angry with you. I'm angry if anyone at myself for not making you listen."
"Don't be mad at yourself."
"Come the Centas Mist is ready." Frodo felt sorry for Pippin. For little hobbits the mist made them feel sicker than they were along with feeling dizzy and drowsy. It also in some cases, apparently Pip's, made their chest hurt.
He had already gone and found Pippin's favorite blanket that he loved to curl up in when ever he visited. For Merry he had made the chair as comfortable as possible. Knowing full well that Pippin was going to want to sit in Merry's lap the entire time. In fact it was expected of them.
Merry nodded and stood still holding Pippin. "Lets go get this over with."
In another room Sam had put a lid over the bowl so the fumes wouldn't escape until he wanted them to. "Mr. Merry the chair is right there."
"It's alright Pip, the mist will help you. It's going to make you feel better." Pippin's arms were wrapped tightly around Merry's neck and showed no sign of moving.
Merry sighed and gently undid Pippin's arms then turned the squirming hobbit towards the mist. Pippin leaned back using Merry's chest as a pillow. Frodo handed Pippin the blanket, which the youngest held close sniffling.
Before Sam could drag Frodo out, the tweenager went over and ruffled his cousin's hair gently. "We'll be back Pippin."
Pippin pouted trying not to breathe in the smoke. After a few moments he couldn't breathe and took a huge breath only to breathe in the Centas. He looked up to Merry to see that Merry wasn't making a fuss. In fact his cousin had closed his eyes singing a song to himself. "Merry?"
"Yeh Pip?"
"My chest hurts. Badly." Pippin whimpered.
"I know sweetie I'm sorry." Merry rubbed Pippin's chest gently through the thin nightshirt, "We'll be done soon."
A few moments later Pippin stopped struggling. The fumes had made him drowsy. Tiredly he grabbed Merry's hand holding it tightly. It seemed to be the only thing that wasn't going around in circles.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't feel good. I can't see anything right anymore."
Merry sat up quickly, "What do you mean?"
"Everything is blurry." Pippin replied scared.
Merry had never heard of this stuff making people's vision blurry before. "Hang on.." He looked to the door then shouted, "FRODO!!"
Frodo came running in moments later. "What's wrong?"
"Is this stuff supposed to impair a hobbit's vision?"
"No why do you ask?" Frodo asked confused.
"Pip says everything is blurry."
Frodo worriedly knelt down in front of Pippin trying not to inhale the mist. "Pip honey, how many fingers am I holding up?"
Pippin squinted then he used his fingers and counted out loud, "One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six.."
Frodo looked down and saw he was only holding up two. "Very good Pippin." Frodo had almost corrected the little hobbit but decided against it. He didn't need to scare Pippin too much.
"Frodo is it almost done?"
Frodo turned around and placed the lid on top of it. Whether it was done or not, he didn't care at the moment. Something was dreadfully wrong with his cousin. "Yes, love it's done."
"Merry we're done!!"
"Yep you're right Pip.." Merry exclaimed with false cheerfulness. He had caught Frodo's glance and knew that something wasn't right.
Pippin yawned then groped around for Merry's neck. When he found it he wrapped his arms around and laid his head on Merry's shoulder. "I'm sleepy."
"Alright." Merry stood up and swayed slightly.
"Are you going to make it Merry?"
Merry shrugged he really didn't know. His mind was still foggy from the mist. "I'm to dizzy to carry him. I might drop Pippin."
"Let me see him then."
Merry tried to hand Pippin off to Frodo but the little one would have nothing of it. "Let go Pip, I can't carry you."
"No!"
"Yes Peregrin Took now." Merry said harsher than he had meant to. His head hurt right now and his cousin wasn't helping.
Pippin let go of Merry's neck scared. "Merry? I'm sorry."
Frodo held out his arms and let Merry drop Pippin gently into his arms. "Alright now, SAM!"
"Yes sir. Yes Mr. Frodo?" Sam came running down the hall.
"Help Merry into Pippin's room. He's to dizzy to walk and carry Pippin."
"Right this way Mr. Merry."
In Pippin's room Merry was helped into bed then let Frodo lay Pippin down in his arms. He held Pippin tightly reassuring the little hobbit that he was ok. Pippin was supposedly already asleep and Merry followed suit soon.
Frodo covered both of them up with two blankets. Before he left Pippin sat up looking around scared.
"Pippin, sweet heart it's alright."
"Frodo?"
Frodo walked over and gently helped the hobbit lay back down. "Go to sleep."
"Mum will be worried." Pippin murmured.
"I already sent a letter telling her that you and Merry would be staying for a few days."
"Is Merry sick?"
Frodo smiled caressing Pippin's forehead, "Probably not. See the mist does different things for different people. It gave Merry a headache and you a tummy ache."
"Can he stay and sleep with me?"
"He's already asleep isn't he?"
Pippin looked down and saw Frodo was telling the truth.
"Sleep little one, I'll wake you in a few hours."
"Ok." Frodo watched from the door as Pippin kissed his older cousin good night. Merry said something softly making Pippin giggle. Pippin whispered something and Merry opened his arms letting Pippin snuggle in.
Deep down Frodo hoped that it wasn't too serious.
