Hello once more. Just wanted to let you know that we will not be updating very frequently. We will try to have a chapter up on Thursdays, though final weeks are here and exams and work are raining on so if we fall behind it's because of that. We'll see if next week we can post twice, but we can't promise anything.

We would love to thank all of you who read Reasons why and are now reading this. Windy-sana and I love it when we see people we recognize. To all of you who are new, Welcome! And thanks for taking your time to read this fic.

Chapter two

Alexandra's pov

So, uh, I bet you're all wondering how we got to this situation. Haha, funny story. Um, how do I explain this? I mean, it didn't really plan any of this. Actually I never really plan anything… you get my point! The thing is, after the breaking of the fellowship, things got boring at Gondor. I spent a year there while Legolas and Gimli went to travel to see caves and forest and all that shit. I was told I could tag along. Sleeping in the dirt? Not showering for weeks? Eating whatever thing you could whip up from under the ground? Hell no! After all I've been through I wanted to stay away from Mother Nature for a while. So I politely declined.

"FUCK NO!" I yelled in their faces after they invited me to accompany them.

So I spent a long and dull year at Gondor, mostly alone. Eowyn came to visit once in a while, Faramir (still as handsome as ever) stayed clear of me, but after a while I managed to show him that I was not as perverted as I had appeared to be. That was actually thanks to Eowyn who did her best to put me in good light in his eyes. Also, the fact that I knew Boromir and the fact that Aragorn told him I had done all I could to save his life made me warm up to him.

But their visits were not frequent and Aragorn was too busy running a kingdom and fixing the rest of Middle earth to give me any attention, plus Arwen is still keeping a close eye on me *cough cough* possessive b*tch *cough*. Anywho, I ended up becoming friends with a ton of little kids from Gondor. I believe that it was the child inside of me that made me befriend these adorable little kiddies, that, or the fact that no respectable adult even looked at me without their faces scrunching up in disapproval. But that's okay, it feels great being looked up to by all these little kids. It's like having my own little posy and they do everything I say with eagerness. Being a parent must be great! I don't know what everybody complains about all the time, especially my mother. She would often moan to herself and ask what she had done wrong to deserve such punishment. I was a great kid! Anyways, back to our story, was bored, so when Legolas and Gimli returned from their trip, I was actually pretty excited to see them again.

"Legolas!" I yelled as I ran towards the elf and jumped at him, put my arms around his neck and gave him a tight squeeze. "I'm so happy you're back!" I did not realize that Legolas was stiff as a stone. Only when I felt arms slowly begin to touch my back did I realize what I had done. My eyes widened and I jumped ten feet in the air. "Ew, ew, ew! You can't just hug me like that, Legolas! I am a lady! And what's wrong with your face? It's all red! Even your ears are red!"

He looked at me for a moment and I could see the wheels in his brain turning. "You were the one who hugged me, Alex," he said, plainly as if there was no joy in seeing me after a whole year.

"No I did not!" I said, defensively. "Gimli, tell him!"

"Eh, you did hug him, lassie."

"Pft, your eyes must be broken," I said as I stomped away, ignoring the heat on my cheeks from the embarrassment and mentally kicking myself for putting myself on that position.

Gimli's Pov:

"You know, lad, you could have shown a little more excitement at seeing her. She looked quite happy to see you," I said in a teasing tone, nudging the elf a bit.

"This is Alex that we are talking about. I hardly believe that she would be excited to see me."

"But you were excited to see her. She was all you talked about for the past week. Were you not saying about how you plan to invite her to travel with you to Eryn Lasgalen?"

I could see the lightest shade of pink on his face as he tried to wave it off and walked away. "I did not do such things. Now stop it with your foolish bantering and let us get going, Aragorn is waiting."

"Oi, you are even starting to sound like her," I teased as I chuckled and followed the elf up the city.

So, what do you think? It was probably not the funniest, but this was mostly an informative chapter that was necessary for you to get the idea of what's been going on and what will happen. We are taking ideas like last time, so if you have an idea about an event that involves Alex and any character in Middle earth, let us know. Nothing is too crazy, well, you saw the first chapter so you can see that crazy is what we want.
