| Ai, Pippin! What chaos he created with his simple curiosity. I bet that's the last time he didn't listen to Merry and I'm sure Merry will be making him promise to listen from now on also. Such good luck that Frodo was there or Merry may have lost it. Great story! Author Reply: Well, Pip's going to "try ever so hard" anyway, to mind his Merry. The problem is that Pippin's eleven now (same as seven for a Man) so he wants to find out answers for himself sometimes, instead of just asking questions. But I think it will be a long time now before he makes the mistake of not obeying Merry again. It really is good luck Frodo was there. My original intention had been to do a Frodo-less story. Apparently anything longer than a couple of chapters, I can't do it. Just to let you know: a tiny little postscript at the end of the story was missing, apparently, when I posted it. | |

| Poor Merry! All that fear and anger quite overwhelmed him. You did a wonderful job of describing the emotions that someone would feel in such a circumstance. :) Author Reply: Thank you! You are right, it was just overwhelming to the poor lad. If you want to know, I just found out that a tiny little section at the very end of the story was left off. I found that out just now and fixed it. | |

| "Oh, please, please love me again!” How could anyone resist a cry like that! Merry certainly couldn't manage it. Author Reply: No, he certainly couldn't. And of course, he did still love his Pippin; but he'd had a lot to deal with over the last couple of days, and knowing that Pippin would never have been in trouble in the first place if he'd only obeyed Merry just set him off. I'm letting everyone know that I just discovered a tiny little bit at the end of the story was left off. I've added it on now. It's just a little postscript taking place the next day, and isn't very long. | |

| Uh, this Pippin will not forget so easily - his Merry angry with him and avoiding him! Probably this will make more impression to little Pippin than any scolding from the adults. But I am glad they are at peace once more - they will need each other to recover from this experience. And Frodo is there for both of them :-) Thank you for the story, I have enjoyed it, as alwasy! Author Reply: No, making Merry angry has definitely made such an impression that he will never forget it. Which is why it was alluded to later in "Conspiracy" and "The Dare"--it was just something so rare that it could be counted. But Merry can't hold his anger against Pippin for long, once he realized the little one was truly sorry, and he would never hold a grudge once they made up. And yes, Frodo is there--in spite of me, LOL! (I just could *not* leave him out!) I'm so glad you enjoyed it; I always enjoy your reviews!

| Whew. Thanks. Author Reply: Thank you! It was lovely to come across your nice batch of reviews when I got out of bed at 3AM. With the LJ still down, I was at a bit of a loss. I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. Author Reply: Just letting you know, a little section at the end of the story was not there when I posted, just in case you want to know. | |

| Poor Merry, that's the same lesson that parents have a hard time learning. You can never fully keep your little ones safe and Pip is his little one in many ways. And poor Pip, his curiosity gets too much of him. A nice story. Author Reply: Yes, in a lot of ways Merry is almost more like a parent than a friend when it comes to Pippin. His anger is from that, and the fact that Pippin has reached the age when sometimes it takes more than an answer to a question to satisfy that curiousity. Pippin had never disobeyed him before, and it hurt. Add the fear for his safety on top of it, with all the worry and misery of searching for him, and it's no wonder Merry reacted the way he did.
