Of Merry and Pippin  by GamgeeFest 108 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 17 on 7/3/2009
Yes, it was the literal, if not the WHOLE, NAKED truth! Heh! Ah, love the naked Hobbit stories!

Author Reply: There should be a Nekkid Hobbit month. It would be a good thing. ;D

Pippin certainly did twist the truth here, but never actually lied. Good thing his parents have a good sense of humor. They're going to need it! :P

Thanks for reading!

haha i love it! It's not very often I read something isn't sam-centric, so this was a real treat!

Author Reply: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this, even though it's not your usual. If you're interested, I have a whole series centered around the Gamgee family in "Number Three, Bagshot Row".

Thanks for reading!

That was funny!

“We won’t be bored, at least,” Eglantine said, wiping tears from her eyes.

Or in other words: Always look on the bright side of life ;-)

And we should not forget that Pippin never lied to his parents! Clever lads. I'm impressed!

Author Reply: In other words: Pick your battles, lest they pick you! LOL! Paladin is right - Pippin will be punished for this plenty later once he reaches his tweens and beyond. :P

Pippin could never lie to his parents. Good thing Merry thought up ways around that, and Pippin was able to stall for questions he could answer half-truthfully. Thanks for reading, dear!

Oh, wonderful GF! I'm sure Dreamflower loved this, I certainly did! Pip-logic is so fun to read. *grins*

I wonder how they'll catch Merry and make him tell...Sequel?

Kaylee!

Author Reply: Pippin apparently got a lot of his logic from Merry! LOL! But Merry is half Took. ;)

I'm sure Merry will weasel his way out of it just as Pippin did, if his parents could even stop laughing long enough to lecture him!

Thanks for reading!

Oh that devious Brandybuck! *cackles*howls*wipes eyes* What a treat for my birthday--thank you so much dear!

“Peregrin, stop evading the question. Did Merry tell you to run onto the stage naked?” Eglantine asked.

“No,” Pippin said. What Merry had was that it would be very funny if Pippin streaked onto the stage. He had never once used the word ‘naked.’


Oh golly Moses! *snort*giggle*

“He had to hide from this older lass with grabby hands,” Pippin said. Merry had taken Opal Stonebow’s pink ribbon and she had tried to grab it back. Opal was in her tweens, which made her much older than Merry. When Pippin had asked why the lass had to be older, Merry only said that it was a good excuse, much better than if the lass had been younger, though he refused to explain why.

*sporfle* You do know you should have posted a beverage warning with this! *cackles again*

Thank you so much for this lovely birthday mathom! ((((((hugs))))))

*goes back to read and giggle again*





Author Reply: Merry is a little conniver, even at this age, and he's teaching Pippin all the tricks, even if he's not explaining them all! :D

(((HUGS))) I'm glad you enjoyed your mathom, dear!

“We won’t be bored, at least”

And neither will we! Ahhh, Pip-logic. There's nothing quite like it. What fun. :)

Author Reply: Pippin will certainly be an entertaining lad to raise! ;)

I think we discover where Pippin got his logic from! Merry is showing his own flare for Tookish thinking. :D

Thanks for reading!

This is hilarious GF. I love how Paladin and Eglantine are not too upset about the prank.

Happy Birthday Dreamflower!

Author Reply: I can just imagine their horror during the actual event, once the fact registered that they were seeing what they thought they were seeing! They took it in stride though. :) Thanks for reading!

You've given me a laugh to start the day. I'm certain Dreamflower will love this one. Oh, and the title is inspired.

Author Reply: The title just came to me in the end. ;) Glad you got a laugh out of this one. Pippin was very much insipired by your own delightful stories. :D

LarnerReviewed Chapter: 16 on 1/26/2009
Cute--and the title is MOST appropriate! Heh!

Author Reply: Thank you! I believe it was shortly after this that the term "Cheeky Took" was coined in the Shire to describe over-the-top shenanigans. Pippin though has always denied this. ;)

Now that's the way to receive an award! hehehe

Author Reply: Thankfully, this didn't become the norm for receiving an award - though the movie stars could learn a thing or two from Merry and Pippin. Would really liven up the Oscars! :P
