Now this one is cute. Pippin of all things wonder on what it would be like to be invisible, and has no clue that frodo should ask him...Frodo has a good laugh, cerious as ever is pippin

Oh my, I just love "Pippish"! But I can understand Merry, not at that time of the day, or should I say night?

I can imagine, that Frodo, now knowing the most burning question in Pippin's mind, may tell him of his own what it feels to be invisible, wrapped up in a light conversation, of course :)

Author Reply: Glad you enjoyed it. I suspect that if Frodo feels up to the challenge that he just might give Pippin a bit of information about being invisible. LOL Thanks for reviewing!

I know exactly how Pippin feels! And the idea that the list might get so long that he can't talk to Frodo at all is wonderful. I just adore the ending, though I did guess it. I would love to hear the list too! And maybe a follow-up where Frodo answers some of the questions.

Author Reply: Can you just imagine what might be on that list? After all, Pippin was known to be very curious and so I am sure that he had quite a few interesting questions. LOL Glad you enjoyed the ending and the fact that you guessed it must mean that it fits well with the rest of the story which is very good to hear. Thank you for the review and stop by anytime!

The idea of Frodo, tucked up in his blankets enjoying the conversation is a delight. He will so enjoy knowing that Pippin is suppressing his curiosity - you never know, he might just drop little snippets into what he says, just to tease the poor lad further.

Only Pippin, you could say. Like Merry, I love the image of his earnest face as he draws up a list of what not to say.

Author Reply: Yes, if Frodo really wants to he can amuse himself even further by trying to get Pippin to ask him about being invisible by dropping things into the conversation. At least it brightened his mood for one night and helped him to sleep. Pippin does have a talent for that sort of thing. Glad you enjoyed this one and thanks for the review!

I like that Frodo heard the whole conversation! Very considerate of Pippin to try not to say anything unfortunate. I'm sure it is very difficult for him to keep his curiousity to himself! Very nice little interaction between Merry and Pippin here, I loved it!

Author Reply: Thank you. I suspect Pippin did have a very hard time not asking too many questions since he is such a curious hobbit. I also think Frodo would have found it sweet that Pippin was trying so hard. Glad that you agree with me.

Excellent!!! Love the questions, love the conversation, especially love that Frodo heard and was amused. Only Pip trying not to hurt Frodo could end up making Frodo happy!

Author Reply: thank you so much for the review and I am glad that you liked this one. I did think that Frodo might be amused by Pippin's efforts.

ya got me sniffling again... Lovely piece of art, Grey Wonderer. I did get a nice chuckle out of Merry asking Pippin if he would be able to talk to Frodo at all when they return to the Shire. Awww...and Frodo getting a smile out of Pippin's list...beautiful.

See you next time...

Author Reply: I'll be right here. Speaking of which, when am I going to see a new story by you? I enjoyed your challenge story a great deal, but it has been a while since you started something over here.....HINT! HINT! LOL
Or maybe begging works better? Oh, please, please, please, oh please?
There. I've tried but hinting and begging. Let me know if either of them were effective. Thanks for the review!

I can imagine poor Frodo lying there giggling over Pippin's list, and feeling touched by it as well. And I feel for poor Merry, having to deal with Tookish logic in the middle of the night on the way home.

Lovely moment.

Author Reply: There is nothing harder than trying to make sense out of someone else's troubles when you're exhausted yourself. Poor Merry is right. At least it did give Frodo a chuckle or two. Thanks for reviewing!
