I own absolutely nothing to do with LOTR
I would just like to thank everyone for all of the follows, favourites and reviews, they mean so much to me :)
Enjoy!

"I can't believe it is finally time, can you?" Kate squeaked as we hurried down the hallways.

"I know, It's not like you haven't mentioned it or anything" I mumbled under my breath as I struggled to suck in enough air to not pass out. I knew corsets were supposed to be tight, but I will be surprised if any of my ribs are intact after this, I feel as though I am going to pass out!

"I know I may have been a little overexcited-"

"A little?" I looked at her incredulously

"Okay...I have been very excited, but it isn't every day the man that you love is crowned King of a supposedly fictional land" she rambled with a distant look in her eyes.

"I know, and I am very happy for you" I said for what seemed like the millionth time that day. The first few times we had this conversation was fine, but if I have to say that same sentence one more time I may scream, tear my hair out, and then scream some more.

I love Kate and everything, but quite honestly, she has gone completely nuts.

I am dreading her reaction when Aragorn proposes. If she is like this now...oh gosh, she will never shut up! I don't know how long the engagement is meant to last, but it will drive me insane!

Various guests have been arriving over the past few days, Lord Elrond and his three children included.

We had yet to meet his two sons, Elladan and Elrohir, but Legolas has already had a bucket of dirty washing water tipped over his head since their arrival, so I am looking forward to that moment. It took just the look on the Prince's face when I walked into the room to see him pulling a bucket off his head, with his normally gorgeous hair hanging over his shoulders in rat's tails for me to know I liked the twins.

Not to mention I almost died laughing.

I am sensing a few prank wars in the future, if they have the imagination for it.

If not, it will be a very one sided prank war, as I will do it anyway.

Needless to say Kate has been skilfully avoiding Arwen, but I have run into her more times than I can count! That elleth seems to pop up all over the place!

I have to say she isn't anything like I imagined her to be. I guess now that I know her and Aragorn are just like siblings, and she has no intention of destroying Kate and Aragorn's relationship, I am steadily allowing myself to like her.

Let's just say that if I can convince Kate to stop being so stubborn and say hello, the three of us along with Eowyn could form quite a friendship, one that will most likely cause havoc, and the males will have no idea what hit them.

Quite literally hit them if what I am planning works.

Still, I digress.

Kate and I walked down the stairs and into the courtyard, where the majority of Gondor were already assembled. We were to stand with the royalty and Gimli. Neither of us is of a Royal family, obviously, but apparently being a part of the Fellowship makes you as good as.

We stood with Eowyn, who had in turn taken her place next to Faramir, who in turn stood next to Boromir. I smirked when I noticed the two of them holding hands discreetly, smiling at each other in regular intervals.

Eowyn and Faramir, I mean...not Faramir and Boromir. That would just be...let's not even go there.

Oh, they did it again!

They've got the love bug...and bad!

I looked over to the side of the gathering, locking eyes with Legolas, who stood with a few elves from Mirkwood. Thankfully, King Thranduil had been unable to attend, and had sent some of the court members instead, leaving Legolas to take his place.

Needless to say I find Legolas a hell of a lot less scary than his Father, and I haven't even met the bloke yet! The mere thought actually makes me slightly queasy, as I know I am going to say or do something wrong, and basically condemn myself into an eternity of his hating my guts.

Legolas smiled at me gently, his eyes silently asking me if I was alright.

I gave him a small nod and a smile, before letting my eyes wander over the rest of the crowd. They all stood with relative ease, apparently completely comfortable with the stares they were receiving from the citizens of Gondor. Honestly, it is like they have never seen another human being before!

Then again, apart from Legolas and me, they have most likely never seen an elf before in their life. Heck, I'm not even a proper elf, I was born human!

I sighed almost silently, before pulling my body up to my full height, as suddenly, the trumpets began to blare, and the huge gates were tugged open. Immediately, everyone ell silent and turned to face the doors, just as Aragorn stepped down gracefully. For such a large man, his footsteps are very light. I guess years of being a Ranger do that to you.

I heard Kate gasp from beside me, and I fully agreed with her. Never have I seen Aragorn look so powerful and regal.

Although to be fair, as much as I hate to admit it, he needs a shave.

We watched in complete silence as he knelt down on the steps, his back facing towards us. Gandalf approached, reciting the oaths that Aragorn would have to swear to fulfil. I know that some people would agree and be done with it, but something tells me that Aragorn will do everything in his power to abide by them.

He is just that sort of person, and I have a never ending supply of respect for him for that.

Gandalf slowly took the crown off the cushion that Gimli held out to him, his face flushed. I have never seen that dwarf look as proud as he did in that moment.

The entirety of Gondor held its breath as Gandalf lowered the crown onto Aragon's head; its form fitting around Aragorn's finally brushed head of hair perfectly.

Gondor was made for Aragorn and his future heirs to rule, that much is obvious.

I suppressed my wild urge to cheer as Aragorn stood slowly, turning towards us as the newly crowned King of Gondor.

I gripped hold of Kate's hands tightly as I realised she was crying silently, perfectly formed tears rolling down her cheeks as she looked up to her love. She clung onto my hand tightly, so tightly I thought she would break it, but I didn't bother complaining, only stared up at Aragorn, who seemed to be bathed in the golden light of the sun.

Slowly, he began to sing.

Et Eárello Endorenna utúlíen.
Sínome maruvan ar Hildínyar
Tenn' Ambar-metta!

I smiled proudly as several other people burst into tears around me, and bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from doing the same. It is a strange feeling, being so happy for someone else that it feels like your own success, but it is one of the nicest feelings I have ever experienced.

I felt Kate's hand slip out of my own as she weaved her way behind the front row, making her way over to Lord Elrond's party that were to follow Mirkwood.

Oh, I see, so she really can't contain herself for much longer.

I curtseyed low as Aragorn passed, noticing that he gave me a look as if to say 'are you serious?' as I caught his eye. I winked at him on his way past to show him that I hadn't been properly brainwashed quite yet, before jerking my head over to where Kate had disappeared. He frowned in confusion, before having to turn forward again in order to greet others.

I looked on as the congregation of elves came forward, Legolas leading them. He placed his hand on Aragorn's shoulder, before nodding in reply to something the King said. I couldn't hear what it was, but by the look on Legolas' face, it was well received.

Next were Lord Elrond and Arwen. I watched as to what they would do intently, before relaxing completely as Aragorn greeted the Lord in a formal fashion, before giving Arwen a gentle, friendly hug, and moving on.

Good, no kissing followed by slapping from several people then. I have to admit I would be straight in there if that did happen. As to who I would face my definite fury first will have to be left undecided, as luckily, it hasn't come to that so no one needs to do anything.

I felt an arm around my waist and looked up to see Legolas staring down at me, a small smile on his face. I smiled back and allowed him to lead me away, following after Aragorn.

I honestly have to keep reminding myself how lucky I am to have him.

The crowd seemed to part as Kate suddenly appeared in front of Aragorn, looking ridiculously beautiful. Then again, I did do her hair, so you know.

In case you didn't get that, I was being sarcastic. If I did her hair, she would look like she had been run over by a pack of orcs.

Twice.

I barely contained an 'aggh' as Aragorn forgot all Kingly postures and half ran towards Kate, before picking her up off the floor and spinning her around, kissing her passionately.

I guess she had taken Arwen's place without even meaning to.

Then again, they haven't seen each other for about thirty seconds, so they have every right to be all emotional in seeing one another again.

I am not being serious, why they need to share saliva like that right now goes beyond me, but it is rather cute and the people are loving it, so who am I to complain?

"Stop thinking so hard" Legolas murmured into my ear as he pressed his lips to the top of my head.

He knows me so well, it is quite worrying.

"I just can't believe that is my best friend. A year ago this was all fictional. A year ago I didn't even know you existed. Hell, and Kate wasn't halfway to becoming Queen of Gondor, a place that we didn't even know existed." I whispered back. He chuckled, probably remember the bumbling idiots we used to be.

Ha, who am I kidding? We are still those bumbling idiots.

"Yes, it does seem many, many lifetimes ago that we fell through your television, you threatened to stab us with a nonexistent knife and then made us run around your garden waving plastic flags" Legolas said as we walked along with Aragorn and Kate still greeting people ahead.

"When you put it like that, you make us sound mad" I said, elbowing him lightly.

He just looked at me.

Point taken.

"You love me for it" I shrugged. He smiled fully, looking down at me fondly.

"Aye, that I do" he replied softly, causing me to almost melt into a puddle on the floor.

I love my life.

I squinted against the sun as we gradually came to a halt, thinking back through the movie as to why this could be happening, before smiling happily as I came to a conclusion.

"My friends, you bow to no one" I heard Aragorn say, before he dropped down onto one knee.

The rest of us followed suit, me silently cursing how tight the dress was around my middle.

However, that could easily be ignored, as I know no four people more worthy of such respect, Frodo and Sam in particular.

Because at the end of the day, it is them we have to thank for this. Those brave Hobbits from the Shire, going against everything they had learned to secure our futures.

I knew similar thoughts were running through everyone's minds at that moment, and I smiled.

And Aragorn finally made it! :)
That scene does genuinely make me want to cry when I watch it. Am I the only one? I don't know what it is, but I guess I am just very happy for them! Plus I love the films, so I could probably cry at anything to do with it if I am honest.

I really hope you enjoyed it, and I would really appreciate it if you let me know what you think!

I should probably start replying to the reviews properly too, so I will do at the beginning of every chapter from now on, I promise! :)
