_____________________Legolas's pov______________________________________

I lead my horse to the Rivendell stables. I was finally here! It had been quite lonely at the

palace without my father. He had gone to visit Rivendell several weeks ago for

"Business" I really wonder what's so important to have my father there, as if Elrond and

Ada could stay civil to each other for a day, let alone a few weeks. They could have just

communicated through letters as they normally did. Elrohir and Elladan came running

over from their latest project. "Ada wants to see you, He's in the big hall, Y'know with

the chairs and the table. The one that he uses for discussing things?" Elrohir said.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

"Whoops! That should be Glorfindel, we must go hide now'' Elladan said.

"Ummm, alright."

After much wandering I finally found the room they were talking about. to a room with both Arwen and my father in it. Elrond gestured me to sit down next to Arwen. Then he sat down himself.

"We have something to tell you two." Elrond said

"You two are engaged." Said Thranduil

This is how this entire ordeal began. This is my story of my arranged marriage to

Arwen Udomiel.

"WHAAAAAAAT!!!????" Screeched Arwen and I.

"If you two heard me correctly, you are getting married." Replied Thranduil.

" Surely you jest! I have no love for Arwen other than the love of a brother to a sister!"

"Father how could you do this to me! My heart belongs to Estel!" Arwen cried

hysterically.

" The decision has been made, and this discussion is over." Elrond replied curtly and he

and Thranduil left the room.

Arwen then stormed out of the room.

_____________________Later that night_____________________________

As I lay in my bed, I wonder how this could have ever had happened to me. It's not as

though I don't like Arwen, she's pleasant and pretty, but she's very dull, she always has to plan everything, she always has to be in control, and if she's not she completely freaks out. A soft nock interrupted my deep and troubled thoughts. I then heard a soft voice.

"May I come in?"

"Sure.' I answered

It was my father, curse him.

"What do you want?" I asked a little more than rudely.

"I'd like to explain why I want you to marry Arwen."

"Want? Force is more like it."

"Fine. I'd like to explain why I force you to marry Arwen. If you let me, Mr. Angry."

"Well then shoot, you're not going to change my mind that easily." I said.

"She's a wonderful lady, and if you married her Mirkwood would have an unending truce

with Rivendell. And you two would make quite a cute couple, and you'd have super cute

kids! Y'know you mother and I didn't like each other very much when we first met, but

gosh after about one hundred years of being married to her I truly realized how foxy she

was and…"

"Ada!" I exclaimed, "Too much information!"

"It's very rude to interrupt, Legolas" my darling father nagged.

"Whatever just let me sleep." I said as I pulled the covers over my head like a small child.

Not really my proudest moment there but it was affective nonetheless. My father eased

himself out of the room. Finally I can sleep.

You're marrying Arwen.

Curse my ever-remembering brain!

_____________________________Arwen's POV______________________________

Oh Valar! How could my father do this to me! I love Aragorn, I care for him with

all my heart. How shall I tell him! Maybe I can break up the wedding, or run away! But

Ada's probably locked me in! I walked over to my door and jiggled to handle, no luck,

windows? Nope. It's not like I really hate Legolas that much, He's just so flighty, he'll go

somewhere on a seconds notice, not telling anyone at all. He is always making up stupid

poems and songs, he's very talented thinking them up quickly and rhyming very cleverly.

Oh, if only he'd use his powers for good! He's handsome and sweet; I'll give him that

much. But looks and adorableness a couple does not make.

WACK!!!

Ohmygod! A bird just broke my window! I need to help it!

_________20 minutes later, a roll of bandages, and some elven magic later___________

That was random. But birdie only suffered mild injuries and is fine. At least now I'm tired. As I roll into bed a most miserable thought hit me"

You're seeing Aragorn tomorrow."

Damnit!

________________Legolas's POV the next day________________________

The light! It burns! My eyes! Stupid sun, I just want five more minutes. Yes five more minutes of sleep…

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would be the twins welcoming Aragorn back from his most recent ranger adventure. I might just as well get up and help Aragorn kill the twins. And I most desperately want to see what the twins did this time. Elladan and Elrohir never grew up, and thank the Valar they didn't or Rivendell would be terribly dull. But Elrond would be less stressed. ELROND! Oh god my engagement! It all came rushing back in a most miserable rush. Arwen, my father, my fathers story about how foxy my mother was. That's going to haunt me for a while now.

I got up and dressed, and slid down the banister to slide into none other than my dearly betrothed.

"LOOK WHERE YOU"RE GOING, MORON!!! Oh it's you Legolas, I want to talk to you." Arwen said.

"Ummmmm Okay…"

"Listen were in this together and if we're going to stop this wedding we're going to have to use our wits, our skills, and my brothers sheer joy of messing things up. But for now let's tackle telling Aragorn about our fathers' "brilliant" plan."

"Oh valar! This is going to be bad. Think we can get him drunk before we tell him?"

"No, stupid" She retorted.

"High off of markers?"

"NO!"

"Tell him and then knock him out?'

"FOR GOD'S SAKE NO!"

"What about…"

and then she slapped me.

___________________________Arwen's POV________________________________

How shall I ever tell this to my beloved Estel, I love him, but I'm engaged to another. He'll be soooooooo angry. And then he'll be sad, and hen he'll be angry again. Oh Valar how should we break this to him?

I didn't realize that Legolas and I had been walking all this time to find Aragorn, and there he was in all of his purple glory. Wait purple? So THAT'S what the explosion earlier was. He looked so silly! And angry. Maybe this wasn't the best time to tell him.

"YO ARAGORN!" Legolas screamed, "ARWEN AND I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO TELL YOU!"

"Legolas I'm three feet away from you, you don't need to yell." Aragorn said "And what did you want to tell me?"

"STUFF!!!!!!"

"Legolas."

"YESSSSS…"

"BE QUIET!"

"Meany."

"What did you want to tell me anyway, and I'm still purple." Aragorn said, while at the same time being annoyed.

"TAKE IT AWAY WEN-WEN!!!!!!!!!!!" Legolas screamed right in my ear, is he retarded?

"Wen-wen? And, uh, Aragorn, umm, Ada and Thranduil, kind of, completely against our will, mind you, have made an arranged marriage for Legolas and I. We're trying our best to stop it."

Aragorn just stood there, mouth hanging open. Wow, my brothers even got his mouth purple. I don't know how they do it.

Finally he spoke after SECOUNDS of tension!

"Aaaa gaaaa uhhhh." And then he promptly fainted.
