Oh no! LOL! Merry and Pippin just got Legolas high and they were really only trying to help this time! I don't see an end to this any time soon, at least I hope not. Poor Legolas, he should have just said now, but I imagine that couldn't have been an easy thing to do. I loved the description of Legolas though wanting to show Aragorn his new talent, this especially made me laugh "Did you know that? Elrond’s a High Elf and Gandalf is a wizard, and you are a smelly little mortal!” Thank you for the fun and I will be watching for more!

Merry and Pippin are thoroughly chagrinned. Poor hobbits. Legolas will be in a foul mood when he wakes up.
Galimeirl · 29 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
OHEHEHEHEHEHHE! I've been laughing my butt off this entire story! I love it! I can just see Legolas bouncing off the walls like a kid on a sugar high! There is no other way to discribe how laughter of this sort makes you feel! I think I'll go read some of this to my friend! She'll die! HEHEHEHEHHE! Update soon! Galimeril ;D

OOooo, not loooking good! Hope Elrond can do something about it! Update!
Author's reply
Elrond has herbs. Hopefully they'll do something for Legolas. :)
TithenFeredir · 28 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
Poor Legolas! First the exploding privy, then just as he's gotten himself all clean and serene, the hobbits get him stoned. High elf indeed. Too funny! ~TF
Author's reply
I had a friend point out that "high elf" could have a double meaning, and I've been wanting to use it since. Honestly,I hadn't thought that it would provoke a response like this. I'm glad you like it!
Lamiel · 28 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
"I think you are a high elf." Ha! This is one of the most entertaining chapters yet. I was grinning all through it. Thank you!
Author's reply
Thanks, and you're welcome! This story is turning into utter chaos. I'm glad you like it!
GamgeeFest · 28 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
ROTF! This has been the most delightful read! I love all these pranks, and seeing the noble Elves reduced to child's games. Merry and Pippin have truly torn Rivendell asunder. I can't wait to see what happens next. :)
Author's reply
Me, either! This story has firmly run away with me, it's all I can do to get it written down. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
pebbles66 · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
LOL! Oh this is just great! Poor Legolas! And I didn't even get the "high elf" part till later. This story just keeps getting better and better.
Author's reply
Thank you! Poor Legolas, I really ought to make it up to him.
grumpy · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
oh my,now Aragorn is going to think that the hobbits did that to Legolas on purpose. I bet next time, Legolas says thnak you very much and closes the door real quick. Great chapter
Author's reply
Thanks! Poor Big People, their lives will never be the same. :)
Tigger · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
"“I love you, Merry and Pippin,” Legolas announced, jumping up and fixing them with a huge smile. “My dear, darling friends. I love everybody. I love Aragorn, too. I think I must show him my newfound talent. Don’t you think so? Let’s go to him, right now!” And Legolas yanked open the door and bounced into the hallway." ROTFLOL!!! Oh my...I can so easily see this. Poor Merry and Pippin. Even when they're trying to do good, they end up tripping over their own foot hair. ;o) Oh and this... "“From Merry and Pippin! They gave it to me to apologize for helping Arwen blow the privy up on me, and they taught me how to use it when I didn’t know how!” Legolas cried, and giggled again. He jumped up and did a little jig. “And now I know something that know other Elf knows how to do, not even Lord Elrond! Did you know that he is one of the Noldor, one of the High Elves, Aragorn? Did you know that? Elrond’s a High Elf and Gandalf is a wizard, and you are a smelly little mortal!” This last was delivered in the lilting tone of a children’s song. “I think you are a high elf,” Aragorn muttered," In more ways than just lineage...ROTFLOL!!! This was brilliant!! Me thinks Merry and Pippin better be watching their backs. Oh and I so want to know Boromir's thoughts on this. He already thinks they're mad, this should seal the deal. *snicker* Wonderfully wicked chapter!!! Loved it!!
Author's reply
Thank you! The 'high elf' pun was just too good to pass up; I had a friend point it out to me a few years ago and have been waiting for an opportunity to use it. Poor Legolas. Boromir is definitely going to be in the next chapter. Merry and Pippin are hiding out with him, I think. ^_^
Larner · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
"High elf" indeed! OMG! The image of it is enough to make me roll on the floor! Hilarious! Poor Legolas--first Arwen gets him--via two stupid Hobbits--with an exploding privy, and now this! He ought to dump them all in the Bruinen!
Author's reply
Or run screaming all the way back to Mirkwood. Poor Legolas, he's really having a rough day. I must admit, though, that I too love the mental imagery of the normally serene elf dancing down the corridor. :)
Merry_the_Hobbit · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
GREAT IDEA!! The best yet, I didn't even see it coming... keep it up!
Author's reply
Thank you! I've been wondering how to play off the 'high elf' pun, and this chapter was born. Hee!
Andrea · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
So, that's why it's called pipe-"weed" ;-) “Where are we going, vanimelda?” he asked, his voice low and full of would-be seduction. Just great! A "high" elf. Merry and Pippin are absolutely innocent this time, but apparently Aragorn has a different opinion. To be honest, when I did read about Pippin being struck by an idea while he was smoking his pipe, I thought: that's the next prank. So Aragorn is not the only one who, in the first place, comes to a wrong conclusion. Poor Ranger, he has a hard time in Rivendell!
Author's reply
Pippin was totally serious in his apology, too, as Arwen rather tricked them into blowing that privy up. Aragorn will figure it out soon, though. I think. Poor hobbits. I feel rather bad for everyone in this chapter, actually. ^_^ Isn't the 'high elf' pun great? I'm still giggling over that one!
Pasha ToH · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
oh this just keeps getting sweeter,I hope this whole debaucle will end without serious injury... grins Eru bless those little muses and or plottable bunnies Pasha ToH
Author's reply
Thanks! I can just see Elrond falling to his knees and thanking the powers that be for delivering him after the Fellowship leaves. :)
Robinscat · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
ROTFL, This is so good. I have tears in my eyes. I can just see Legolas dancing down the hall way. I always thought that the pipeweed, especially Longbottom Leaf, was the "funny" type. Excellent chaper. Robin
Author's reply
Thanks! I liked the idea of pipeweed being totally innocent (as innocent as tobacco can be, really) to the hobbits and mortals, but utterly narcotic toimmortals. Poor Legolas.
Shieldmaiden of Rohan · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
Heehee... this is even better than I expected. When I saw the chapter title I thought for sure that either Aragorn or the hobbits would have their pipeweed switched out on them-- I wasn't expecting you to get Legolas high!!! Though I do feel bad for Merry and Pippin when Aragorn finds out, since they really were trying to be nice this time.
Author's reply
I wasn't certain how to make the mortals react to pipeweed any differently, but then Legolas entered the scene. Hopefully, Aragorn will figure things out fairly quickly, though.
sheraiah · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
Stoned!Legolas is a hoot! I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. This just gets better and better!
Author's reply
Thanks! Stoned!Legolas was so much fun to write. :)
frodo16424 · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
Absolutely the best chapter yet! ROFLOL! I could see the whole scene so easily. Poor Legolas! Have a feeling Merry and Pippin should just ride away - far away! Can't wait to see what is next! Thanks for the laugh.
Author's reply
If I were Merry and Pippin I would already be back in the Shire. Poor lads, even their best intentions turn out wrong. I'm glad you liked it! :)
Bodkin · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
Poor hobbitses. Even when they are not trying to get into trouble, they do! A perfectly innocuous let's-teach-the-elf-to-smoke has turned into another catastrophe. And Legolas is not going to feel very well-disposed when he stops being high. Although hopefully he will recognise the difference being their - er - accidental pollution of his noble elven person as opposed to Arwen's deliberate and vindictive fouling of the bubble-bath bandit.
Author's reply
Bubble bath bandit! I have to remember that, as it's caused me to giggle madly for the past half hour or so. Poor Legolas. He's going to be so peeved when he wakes up! As for Merry and Pippin, they've run for cover, as any sensible hobbit would. Poor lads.
Dreamflower · 27 August 2005 · Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: The Pipeweed Debacle
Oh dear! So, Aragorn put something in the lads' pipeweed? Weed-weed. *snicker* Ooh, he's in trouble now, and Elrond is *not* going to be a happy camper, is he? And Legolas--is he going to be hungover from this? I am afraid I lack familiarity with that. But Aragorn should have thought things through: Merry and Pip sober are bad enough--imagine the two of them high as a kite--what would they *not* have thought of?
Author's reply
Well, Aragorn actually had nothing to do with this one. He's still plotting his next act. I was toying with the idea that what would be normal tobacco for the mortals would be the equivilent of marijauna to immortals. Bad, I know, but I promise that I have never taken drugs and never will! I was just playing off the 'high elf' pun. :) I don't even want to think abut high!Merry and Pippin. Although you can see them in the ROTK EE features. Heh. That could be funny.
Hai Took · 24 August 2005 · Chapter 11: Chapter Eleven: Venting
LOL!! That was great! Poor Elrond! *snort* He certainly got caught in the middle! At least Gandalf has the right idea of trying to find out what is at the center of all this in finding out why Merry and Pippin are after Aragorn, at least Gandalf is still trying to keep the younger hobbits in the Fellowship! Looking forward to more and thanks for the laugh!
Author's reply
Poor Elrond is going to be sooo happy when the Fellowship finally leaves. He needs a hug. Gandalf is going to get to the bottom of things and when he does...uh-oh. Thanks for reading!
Faith · 22 August 2005 · Chapter 11: Chapter Eleven: Venting

Or they may just have to flee Middle Earth altogether. Hee! :)
Larner · 22 August 2005 · Chapter 11: Chapter Eleven: Venting
Poor Elrond. And the image of Merry having an attack of fear masked as conscience is a wonderful one. And then Pippin jealous because Merry started demonstrating remorse so openly first.... Hilarious!
Author's reply
I still can't believe this fic is funny! I had not planned for it to be so long; maybe a few chapters. Shows how these things can change on a dime. I'm glad you like it!
Flan · 22 August 2005 · Chapter 11: Chapter Eleven: Venting
Ha. This is very entertaining, please continue!

I will! Thanks!
