Title: A Night at the Ball
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Genre: General
Length: Short story
Summary: When the barmaids of The Eagle's Peak Inn are invited to a royal ball by Merry and Pippin, they can't believe their good fortune. There's just one catch - they must help the hobbits play a prank on the King. Takes place during the story Distractions. Written for dreamflower02.

A/N: In my story Distractions, the hobbits discovered that Aragorn had withheld information from them regarding Arwen, namely that she would soon be arriving to marry him. Rather than tell Aragorn that they knew about his secret, they devised a scheme in which they invited some barmaids to a ball honoring the visiting Haradrim so that the barmaids could entertain Aragorn. This story takes place between chapters 24-28 of Distractions. Some of the dialogue and text comes from those chapters.
