What exactly made Merry and Pippin eavesdrop on the Council? I believe it was Pippin's idea. It's amazing how many thing he unwittingly thrust himself and Merry into..... Three speakers, Pip, Merry and Elrond, regular fluff. PLEASE POST REVIEWS

“We sure are high up!!”
*nervous* “I think we should get down. Elrond won’t be happy if he finds us way up here. Where ARE we?”
“I think we’re in one of the topmost towers. Hey look! A window!”
“Oh dear. Pippin, you know how you are with windows…”
“Look at this VIEW!!! HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…!!!!! It echoes!”
“….hey you’re right…HELLOOOOO!!!!!!”
*giggling* “This is fun! HELLLOOOOOOO…..!!!!
*laughing* “HELLOO!!!!
*from behind them* “Hello.”
*in unison* “MR. ELROND!!!”
*smiles* “What are you doing. Peregrin and Meriadoc?”
*nervously* ‘Um, uh, uh….nothing, Sir. Pippin was just….”
“I was just…yeah.”
“Just what?”
“Just….making echoes?”
“I see. Well please keep it down, I’m on my way to a council and I don’t believe they will appreciate loud echoes all around them.”
“Yes sir. We’ll get down.”
“We will? OW! I mean we will! *whispering* Don’t you dare poke me again, Meriadoc Brandybuck!”
“Very good. Namarie, halflings.” *footsteps leading away*
“Why’d you go and pokes me??”
“We HAVE to agree with him, he’s some sort of a king!”
“Well, it still hurt…council…..wonder if they’ll talk about Frodo.”
“Don’t even THINK about it Peregrin Took!! We are going to go QUIETLY back to our rooms and QUIETLY wait for Gandalf to tell us what to do, which he will most likely do very shortly.”
“Of course we will. We will also take the scenic way back. More educational.”
“I’m guessing the ‘scenic way’ just so happens to go right past where that council is being held.”
“Exactly. That’s the educational part!”
“I can’t believe you…”
“Aren’t you curious? Just a little?”
“……..yes.”
“Don’t you want to figure out what exactly is going on?”
“Yes.”
“Then lets go!”
*sigh* “Okay. But just for five minutes!”
“Right. Just five minutes. We get in, watch from an inconspicuous place, then leave. Simple.”
“Fine, lets go. *to self* What’s the worst thing that could happen?”
