Oh, GW, this was adorable!! I do love the fact that Pippin was *planning* to not really eat all that cake, but he just couldn't stand to hurt anyone's feelings! That's such a Pippish thing to do.

And Merry was perfect in this, figuring out what had happened, and giving Pippin a good excuse to be sick, and teasing him just enough to get his mind off his misery, but not enough to really upset him!

And I am quite sure that somewhere on Tol Eressea, Frodo and Bilbo were looking in a palantir, and chuckling over Pippin's birthday, and drinking his health.

*grin* I love it very much, and it's a lovely birthday present! *here's a big hug!*

Author Reply: Awww, thank you for the big hug and thank you for sparking the idea that resulted in this story. I do hope that you had a lovely birthday.
I didn't want Merry to actually admit that he would NEVER tell any of this because I can imagine him telling it to Pippin's children at some future date when they've had too much cake. I did think that Merry could be trusted to keep quiet about it for a few years though. LOL
As to Bilbo and Frodo, that is one of the many reasons I enjoy your story that inspired this; Frodo has a future among the hobbits in it! : )
