Well, I've got my Hershey's Special Dark chocolate, a cup of decaf coffee and my computer open to wordperfect. The plan was to write revenge!fic. It really is calling to me. It wants to be written. But, much like Strider, I haven't been able to come up with the perfect revenge, just yet. Clearly, both of us need to mull it over a bit longer. So, open ended question to all of you out there. What is the best way for Strider to get back at Pippin for the royal splashing he received in Bath Time (linked just in case, gasp, you haven't read it yet). I'd like to shamelessly steal hear your thoughts.

Now, instead of writing revenge!fic (or daydreaming about a certain young hobbit in a certain sticky situation) I'm off to watch Firefly eps and fold laundry. Ah, Mal, I do so love your Mal-ness.

Feel free to shamelessly steal adapt what I did in "Reunion in Minas Tirith" for your story -- in RMT, Frodo was positive Pippin was planning some dire revenge on him because Pippin was being extra sweet, helpful, and attentive. The nicer Pippin became, the more paranoid Frodo became.

I had to go re-read 'Reunion in Minas Tirith' cause it's such a fun fic. I absolutely adore it. You can really tell that Frodo and Pippin are related. They are both masters at scheming!

That is one of the possibilities I considered for Aragorn, having him just dangle the threat over Pippin's head and walk away. I think I may use it in conjuction with something else, have Aragorn make the threat, then let it go until after the Quest, by which time Pippin has forgotten all about being nervous. Then Aragorn can strike and Pippin will never know what hit him.

Yes, yes, I think that's the way it is going to have to go. Thanks for the idea. :)

Why, that sly Ranger!

Have fun!

I had missed the original posting of this. Thank you for the link!

As for the Revenge of the Drenched Ranger... I can just see Aragorn tempting Pippin with some kind of treat, like hanging a basket of mushrooms over a barrel. Then when the tweenager climbs up on the barrel to get the mushrooms - pow! the barrel lid goes and Pip screams he's drowning. Horrified, Aragorn rushes in and Pippin manages to drench him all over again... Er. My, that idea took off and flew, didn't it?

Somehow it seems doubtful that Aragorn will be allowed to win this game, doesn't it? The hobbits usually do come out on top, one way or another. I like your idea. I may use it in conjunction with Shirebound's. Let Strider wait a long while, until the Quest is over and they are all back in Minas Tirith and then he will pounce, pulling some delicious prank on Pippin that ulitmately backfires.

Hmm, the little grey cells are jumping now. It may be time to go write. Thanks for the help. :)
