Chapter 1- Surprises
"Hey watch it!" a girl yelled in the corridor as she collided with another student that first day of school. "Ow! I'm going to have a sore bottom for two hours!" said the second student, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, who had been riding on a skateboard until ten seconds ago. "You wouldn't get into accidents like this if you didn't ride that skateboard!" said the girl as she straightened out her brown hair and adjusted her gold boots. "I'm sorry miss. But may I know your name? After all, you look like a freshman student, just like me" said the boy. "My name is Lothiriel. What's yours?" the girl said. "Well then, my name is Eomer, and it's a pleasure to meet you" said the boy as he helped Lothiriel up. " Well then, thank you Eomer, and I have to be on my way. See you in class" said Lothiriel as she began to walk away. Suddenly, she bumped into another student. "Hey, watch it Lothiriel!" the other student exclaimed. Behind them, Eomer was trying hard to control his laughter. "Yeah, I'm sorry Arwen. What brings you here?" said Lothiriel to the other student, a tall girl with dark hair like night and wise gray eyes. "Arwen! Are you alright?" another voice came down the hall. "Aragorn, I'm okay" Arwen called to the newcomer, a slightly scruffy, dark- haired boy, also with gray eyes. "Well, look who's also here" Eomer remarked when he saw the newcomer. "Well, it's good to see you here, Eomer" said Aragorn as he slipped an arm about Arwen's waist. "You know him too, Eomer?" Lothiriel asked her new acquaintance. "Oh, I've been friends with Aragorn since March. But I've only known Arwen for a few minutes" said Eomer. Lothiriel blushed, and she formally introduced Arwen to Eomer. It was then that Lothiriel learned that Arwen was engaged to Aragorn. "Well, it's good to meet the two of you. Do you know who else is studying in the university?" Aragorn asked Eomer. "My sister is, and so are the four hobbits" said Eomer. "There were three hobbit girls in the dorm" said Arwen. "Your brothers are studying here too" said Aragorn to Arwen. "Were you talking about us?" a voice came from the hallway. Two elves and seven hobbits (three girls and four boys) came around the corner. "Hello Elladan and Elrohir" Aragorn greeted his fiancée's brothers. "Yeah, it's good to see you, buddy" said Elrohir. "So, what has been going on here?" asked Elladan. "A chance meeting, obviously" said one of the hobbit lads. "Well, it's good to see you Sam, and Frodo, and Pippin and Merry," said Eomer to the four hobbit lads. "I don't believe we know your names," said Arwen to the three hobbit girls. "Oh, I'm sorry. Guys, meet Rose, Estella and Diamond" Pippin began. Soon the three hobbit girls had gotten to know the whole company. "You said your sister was studying here, Eomer," said Arwen. "Is her name Eowyn? She's our roommate. I saw her this morning, and she went off a while ago to the Activities Office" said Lothiriel. "Yes, that's my sister, but I haven't seen her the whole morning since we parted" said Eomer. "Let's go discuss that while we get some grub" Merry suggested and then they were on their way down the hallways to grab a snack at the canteen.
An hour later, Lothiriel went across campus to get some school supplies when she caught sight of three familiar figures sitting in a garden. "Niliwen!" she called to one of them. "Well, look who's joined the company," said Niliwen, a gangly girl with brown hair and brown eyes, as she saw Lothiriel approach. "So what have you people been up to?" Lothiriel asked her friend. "Nothing much. So, the three hobbit girls I saw this morning are taking the room to your left, isn't that right?" said Niliwen. "Yes, and the two of us are getting the room to your right" said another girl, with chocolate brown hair and peach eyes, dressed in black, lying on the grass. "I guess that's correct, Irilia" said Lothiriel. "So, what new thing have you seen?" asked a gray eyed young man with dark hair, with a book open on his lap. He was dressed pretty simply in a white shirt and blue jeans and he looked intently at Lothiriel. "You would know more about those if you got around more often, Faramir. I didn't even know you were here, cousin," said Lothiriel teasingly. "I know. I've talked to Aragorn, Arwen, her brothers, and the hobbits" said Faramir as he turned another page of the book. "Okay, I also talked to them a while ago, and I almost forgot-they did mention you talked to them" said Lothiriel. "Well look who's coming" said Irilia as she sat up. "Well, good day Legolas and Gimli" Niliwen called to two figures-an elf and a dwarf, approaching them. "Well hi you four. What's the buzzing groove?" asked Legolas the elf. "Don't mind him, he's being stupid" said Gimli the dwarf. "More like somebody going to a disco" said Irilia. "Hey, I almost forgot something. Did you know that Eomer is studying here?" said Lothiriel. "You mean that cute blond dude with the blue eyes?" said another voice. All six of them looked to see a redheaded woman with flashing green eyes, clad in a skimpy mini-skirt and a top with a plunging neckline. "Yeah, it's him. What's your name?" asked Lothiriel. Legolas and Gimli almost sniggered at the girl's description of Eomer. "My name is Delilah Morgan. What's yours?" said the girl. Lothiriel promptly introduced the gang and Delilah tossed her head as she saw another boy come over. "Hey, what's up chick?" said the boy. "Shut up Greg, and get me some tea" said Delilah smoothly to the newcomer as she walked off. "Well, what's going on with you chicks hanging out with nerdy here?" asked the boy Delilah called Greg as he sneered at Faramir. "The * nerd * is my cousin!" said Lothiriel defensively. "Oh, sorry babe" said Greg as he walked off. " Thank you Lothiriel. So what's new with Eomer of Rohan studying here?" Faramir asked. "That's cool," said Gimli. "So, what does that mean?" asked Irilia. "Eomer has got a sister," said Legolas. Faramir put two and two together in his head and something dawned on him. "Eowyn is here," he said. "Well, I thought it might interest you. After all you did mention her over the summer" said Lothiriel, as her cousin got up and began walking down to the garden gate. "Who is this Eowyn girl anyway?" Niliwen asked. "A friend. A friend I should catch up on," said Faramir before he left.
After the flurry of settling in that afternoon, the campus was in a fever pitch before the Welcome Party for the freshmen. After he'd gotten all his business done, Faramir had taken the opportunity to go for a walk in the woods. It was almost sundown when he had finally cleared his head from the bustle of the busy day. A pleasantly cool breeze blew through the forest, and the smells of pine trees and mint wafted through the woods. Faramir thought that he was all alone, for all he could hear were the chirping birds and the occasional sound of leaves rustling or a squirrel running by. Then he heard the sound of a guitar from somewhere in the brush.
He followed the music until he came to a big pine tree. To his surprise, he saw a girl, sitting in the shade of the tree with her guitar. She donned a red peasant blouse and a beige skirt and green sandals were upon her feet. She had a white flower tucked in her long yellow tresses, and her slim hands strummed the guitar intently. Then, her gray eyes met Faramir's eyes, and she recognized him. He also recognized her. "Hello Eowyn" he greeted her politely. Eowyn put down her instrument, stood up and smiled. "Hello Faramir. How have you been doing lately?" she said as she shook his hand warmly. "I've been doing well, thank you. How about you?" Faramir asked before he kissed the back of Eowyn's hand. Eowyn laughed softly and replied "The same as ever, or if not better. Come on, sit on that rock over here" as she motioned to a smooth brown rock beside her. "I heard from my cousin that you were studying here," said Faramir as he looked at her affectionately. "So, Lothiriel is your cousin. I guessed so, but she didn't tell me you were here" said Eowyn playfully. "She didn't know till she saw me later this morning. Where were you the whole day?" Faramir asked. "I settled my room, and my stuff early on, so I've been exploring the whole day," said Eowyn. "I didn't know you could play a guitar. You never told me," said Faramir. "I only learned last summer. I'm sorry I forgot to write to you after I left for home" said Eowyn. She'd met Faramir only last March, during her adventure in Gondor, and since they last parted, they hadn't quite been in touch. "That's alright. I also forgot to keep in touch," said Faramir sheepishly. "Oh, it doesn't matter since we'll be classmates for around four years. Well, so I'll be seeing a lot of you, and I don't think you're prosaic, so I don't mind" Eowyn said. "It's getting a bit dark, so let's get going back, shall we" said Faramir as they both stood up and Eowyn slung her guitar over her shoulder. They walked back to the campus, chatting and laughing about all that had passed during the summer. Faramir couldn't help but notice that Eowyn was a lot happier and a good deal more passionate about life. It was honestly a huge turnaround from the miserable, grave and weary lady he'd met in the spring. Eowyn also knew that to some measure, Faramir had found a bit of peace in his life. When it came to his personality, he was still the same thoughtful, benevolent man she'd come to be friends with. That was a good thing.
Chapter 2- A Cocktail of Colors
The two students burst in through the doors of the Main Hall at High Street, the dormitory complex. People were going towards the dining room down the hall, and the hallway was bustling with activity. "I guess I should leave my guitar here," said Eowyn as she put her guitar down on a baggage rack. "I wonder who else is going to be here," said Faramir as he and Eowyn began walking towards the dining hall. "Just about everybody you met. I haven't talked to too many people yet," said Eowyn. "Now is your opportunity" said Faramir as they entered in. The hall was decked in a rainbow of colors, and it was teeming with students from all over Middle-Earth. Most of the students hailed from Gondor, Rohan, Dunland, and other places inhabited by Men as far as the nearer regions of Rhun and Harad. A considerable percentage of students were Elves, and a good number of hobbits also came to study. However, dwarves were by far the fewest in this mix of students, since many of them still preferred life in the mountains. Faramir and Eowyn recognized many of the students, and it took a while till they met up with their closer friends.
"So, what's up with that Delilah girl?" asked Aragorn as he and his friends sat around a large round table. Arwen elbowed her fiancé in the ribs and gave him a look of mock annoyance. "What's wrong with asking?" asked Aragorn. "You pay a lot of attention to girls with shape, do you" said Arwen as she sipped her drink. "What I meant was that girl has no sense of proper decorum-and of temperature. I was seriously wondering what would make her wear that on a cold day like this," said Aragorn, much to Arwen's amusement. "What disturbs me is that Greg jerk. He stuffed me and Pip into a locker this afternoon" said Merry as he grabbed a sandwich from a table. "Yeah, one minute, it was 'Hi Merry", the next it was "Ow, my larynx is broken," said Pippin as he changed his voice to match the situation. "You're telling me. That idiot keeps on yelling 'Hey baby' at any girl he sees. He's just shallow. All he thinks of is butts and legs," said Rose. "Gosh, I don't know what you people are talking about," said Eowyn. "Basically, they're both persons who will never know the meaning of the universe, because they won't bother unlike those who try" said Elrohir as he snapped his fingers. "Knock it off with that beatnik thing, will 'ya?" said Estella. "What interests me is how did Greg know Faramir is a nerd?" asked Niliwen. Eowyn stifled a giggle and Faramir glared at Niliwen. "Look who's talking!" said Legolas. "Nooo, I'm a journalist. He's poetry boy," said Niliwen. "Well, just one look at him, and you could tell" Irilia quipped. "What in the heavens is this with this whole nerd and jock complex?" said Gimli. "You may as well fathom the popularity complex, Gimli. You could, if you spent some time in the real world" said Elladan. "He does, people. He's just UNCONVENTIONAL, which means" Frodo began. "Yeah, yeah Mr. Baggins, we know the meaning of that," said Eomer. "Hey Sam, you can stop scraping the plate now. The bacteria is gone!" said Diamond. "Actually, it wouldn't matter. There's bacteria everywhere," said Faramir. "That's why I'm scraping it!" said Sam. " Now you wonder why you're branded as a nerd" said Lothiriel.
Suddenly, a disco ball was lowered from the ceiling and music began playing. "Oh yeah! That's the way I like it, uh huh, yeah I do" said Elrohir as he began grooving to the beat. "Come on, let's have some fu-n!" screeched Gimli in the most annoying manner possible. "Oh dear" muttered Diamond. "That's so ungroovy, partner" said Legolas as he began doing handstands. "Oh yeah, macho, macho man!" said Irilia. Niliwen gave her a strange look. "Why don't you and Arwen dance?" Frodo dared Aragorn. "I have two left feet," said Aragorn. "No, don't lie. You were great dancing with me under the trees" said Arwen.
"I didn't know he could dance. Let's see that," said Elladan. Arwen pulled Aragorn out to the dance floor and they began doing some rock n' roll moves. "Hey, look who's dirty dancing with Greg there," said Sam. They looked to where Delilah was busy dirty dancing with Greg. "Gross," Rose remarked. "Why don't you dance with Lothiriel?" Estella asked Eomer as she began dancing beside Merry. "I look like a convulsion when I dance disco-style," said Eomer. "Why don't you do some break dancing?" asked Pippin. "That's one thing he's good at. Come on, show us that 'wave' body-popping move!" yelled Merry. Eomer promptly began dancing, and Lothiriel clapped. "Groovy! You have to teach us that" she said as Eomer began doing backspins beside her. "Hey Faramir, I didn't know you could dance like that, " said Eowyn as she watched her friend do some disco dance moves. "I also learned last summer," said Faramir as he watched Eowyn swinging her hips to the music.
"Hey gang, here comes a lot of trouble!' said Niliwen a while later as she saw Delilah come up to the group. "Well hello there. Who's the hottie?" she crooned as she approached Aragorn. "Um, good evening, Miss Morgan" said Aragorn politely. "Yeah, whatever. Well, so what kind of man like you is doing here without a pretty lady near by?" Delilah said flirtatiously. "Actually, Delilah, my fiancée Arwen and I were just about to go for another dance" said Aragorn as he watched Arwen finish her soda at the bar. Delilah looked dejected. "Oh okay. See you, hot stuff" she said as she slipped away. "What in the blazes was she doing with you?" asked Arwen as she rejoined him. "I don't know. In my scoreboard, her decency factor has just dropped ten thousand points," said Aragorn. " Well, I see why," said Arwen as Aragorn put an arm around her waist and they began to dance. Across the room, Greg was busy picking on Eowyn. "Well, hot baby want to dance on my love boat tonight?" he said. "Um, no thanks. Maybe some other time, Greg" she declined. "Why not now?" he begged. "Do you want to talk to my brother about that?" she said sharply. "Yeah, and what are you doing hanging out with Nerdy over here?" he said as he gave Faramir the evil eye. "It takes one to know one" Faramir retorted. "And what are you going to do? Kill me with logic?" said Greg. "Perhaps. How do you want it, Elvish style or in numerical system?" Faramir said coolly. Behind them, Eomer and Lothiriel tried to stop snickering. Greg stared Faramir down for a minute until Eowyn stepped in. "Guys, maybe we should get a drink or something" she said as she stepped between them, breaking up the tension. "And I was half wishing it would come to blows" said Irilia.

The two students burst in through the doors of the Main Hall at High Street, the dormitory complex. People were going towards the dining room down the hall, and the hallway was bustling with activity. "I guess I should leave my guitar here," said Eowyn as she put her guitar down on a baggage rack. "I wonder who else is going to be here," said Faramir as he and Eowyn began walking towards the dining hall. "Just about everybody you met. I haven't talked to too many people yet," said Eowyn.

"Knock it off with that beatnik thing, will 'ya?" said Estella. "What interests me is how did Greg know Faramir is a nerd?" asked Niliwen. Eowyn stifled a giggle and Faramir glared at Niliwen. "Look who's talking!" said Legolas. "Nooo, I'm a journalist. He's poetry boy," said Niliwen. "Well, just one look at him, and you could tell" Irilia quipped. "What in the heavens is this with this whole nerd and jock complex?" said Gimli. "You may as well fathom the popularity complex, Gimli. You could, if you spent some time in the real world" said Elladan. "He does, people. He's just UNCONVENTIONAL, which means" Frodo began. "Yeah, yeah Mr. Baggins, we know the meaning of that," said Eomer. "Hey Sam, you can stop scraping the plate now. The bacteria is gone!" said Diamond. "Actually, it wouldn't matter. There's bacteria everywhere," said Faramir. "That's why I'm scraping it!" said Sam. " Now you wonder why you're branded as a nerd" said Lothiriel.

"I didn't know he could dance. Let's see that," said Elladan. Arwen pulled Aragorn out to the dance floor and they began doing some rock n' roll moves. "Hey, look who's dirty dancing with Greg there," said Sam. They looked to where Delilah was busy dirty dancing with Greg. "Gross," Rose remarked. "Why don't you dance with Lothiriel?" Estella asked Eomer as she began dancing beside Merry. "I look like a convulsion when I dance disco-style," said Eomer. "Why don't you do some break dancing?" asked Pippin. "That's one thing he's good at. Come on, show us that 'wave' body-popping move!" yelled Merry. Eomer promptly began dancing, and Lothiriel clapped. "Groovy! You have to teach us that" she said as Eomer began doing backspins beside her. "Hey Faramir, I didn't know you could dance like that, " said Eowyn as she watched her friend do some disco dance moves. "I also learned last summer," said Faramir as he watched Eowyn swinging her hips to the music.
"Hey gang, here comes a lot of trouble!' said Niliwen a while later as she saw Delilah come up to the group. "Well hello there. Who's the hottie?" she crooned as she approached Aragorn. "Um, good evening, Miss Morgan" said Aragorn politely. "Yeah, whatever. Well, so what kind of man like you is doing here without a pretty lady near by?" Delilah said flirtatiously. "Actually, Delilah, my fiancée Arwen and I were just about to go for another dance" said Aragorn as he watched Arwen finish her soda at the bar. Delilah looked dejected. "Oh okay. See you, hot stuff" she said as she slipped away. "What in the blazes was she doing with you?" asked Arwen as she rejoined him. "I don't know. In my scoreboard, her decency factor has just dropped ten thousand points," said Aragorn. " Well, I see why," said Arwen as Aragorn put an arm around her waist and they began to dance. Across the room, Greg was busy picking on Eowyn. "Well, hot baby want to dance on my love boat tonight?" he said. "Um, no thanks. Maybe some other time, Greg" she declined. "Why not now?" he begged. "Do you want to talk to my brother about that?" she said sharply. "Yeah, and what are you doing hanging out with Nerdy over here?" he said as he gave Faramir the evil eye. "It takes one to know one" Faramir retorted. "And what are you going to do? Kill me with logic?" said Greg. "Perhaps. How do you want it, Elvish style or in numerical system?" Faramir said coolly. Behind them, Eomer and Lothiriel tried to stop snickering. Greg stared Faramir down for a minute until Eowyn stepped in. "Guys, maybe we should get a drink or something" she said as she stepped between them, breaking up the tension. "And I was half wishing it would come to blows" said Irilia.
