Author's note: It seems like I'm always apologizing for taking forever to do these chapters, but this time I have a very legitimate excuse. My computer pretty much died, and I lost my fan fic stuff. Until now I haven't had the motivation to retype them. Now that my computer lives again, and I've gotten a small shred of inspiration, I'm updating. ^^ Enjoy this next chapter. ^^
Arwen awoke in a really good mode. She was feeling great. She stretched, got out of bed, and dressed herself. She then threw open the shutters to her window and gazed out at the bright blue sky. The day was nice, and held the promise of fun. Once she had had her fill of the scenery, she decided that she should wake Jessica and Liz. They started out being really mean, but once she had gotten to know them, Arwen decided that she was rather fond of the two of them. With her mind set, she walked to her ornately carved door and opened it. She stepped outside and proceeded down the hallways to the girls' rooms.
Jessica awoke, stretched, and got dressed. Today was the day that she'd find out if the 'shampoo' had done its trick. She picked up the piece of paper that had been placed under her door the day before. The paper gave a list of colours and the emotions that they represented. The shampoo was supposed to take effect once one stepped into the sunlight. Jessica didn't know if the hair would go back to its original shade once the person stepped inside or not, but the day was still going to be rather amusing. Jessica opened her window and looked outside. It was bright and sunny. The perfect weather for the chaos to ensue. She let out a small giggle, when there was a light knock at her door.
"Jessica, are you awake?" Arwen's voice came from the other side of the door.
"Yeah, I'm awake. Just a minute and I'll open the door for you." Jessica replied with a slight smirk as she walked over to the door of her room. She opened it, and was greeted by a very happy looking Arwen. Her hair wasn't in any strange colours yet, so either the shampoo hadn't worked, or Arwen hadn't walked outside yet.
"I thought I should wake you and Liz up, so that we could go down to breakfast together." Arwen cheerily replied.
"Sounds like a fun idea to me, lets go wake Liz." Jessica said as she walked out of her door. "Oh, we should probably wake Adam up too." She added as an afterthought.
Arwen and Jessica walked the three steps to Liz's room, and knocked. "Hey Liz, time to wake up." Jessica said loudly. She and Arwen heard some rustling and sounds of movement coming from the other side of the door. A few minutes later a sleepy looking Liz poked her out the door.
"Mord ging." Liz incoherently said between a few yawns.
"What?" Arwen asked.
"She says good morning Liz isn't all that coherent when she first wakes up." Jessica explained.
"Oh, I see. Good morning Liz." Arwen greeted. Liz took a few seconds to register the words, then smiled.
"Lets wake Adam up now." Jessica said as the trio walked another few steps to Adam's door. Jessica knocked, "Adam, wake up."
"Hold on, I'm already up." Adam replied through the door. There was a few seconds long pause, then he opened his door and stepped out. "Good morning. Did you get my sentences, Jessica?"
"Yeah, I got them. Don't stir up any more trouble okay." Jessica replied. Adam looked at her suspiciously, but didn't ask anything.
"Iey, ham yungr." Liz incoherently said.
"Care to translate that for the rest of us Jessica?" Adam asked.
"She says ' hey I'm hungry.' " Jessica supplied.
"Breakfast should be about ready. Let's head to the balcony and eat." Arwen said with a beautiful smile. Adam saw the smile and was walking on clouds until Jessica nudged him to move.
"Alright, lets get some food into these two before they decide to fall asleep her in the hall." Jessica teased.
"Aim eakew." Liz confidently said.
"Liz, you're only half awake." Jessica disagreed.
The quartet walked through Rivedell's various halls, and were talking animatedly when they heard a familiar voice greet them.
"Good morning ladies." The blonde haired Legolas warmly said. Arwen glared at him and continued walking.
"Morning." Adam hurridly said and went to catch up with Arwen.
"Good morning, Legolas." Jessica happily said.
"Mord ging." Liz incoherently smiled.
"What did she say?" Legolas asked.
"She said good morning. She's not quite awake yet." Jessica explained, and Legolas nodded. Legolas, Jessica, and Liz hurried to catch up with the other two.
Once they did Arwen kept her eyes averted from Legolas. "Liz, Jessica, I know how much you favor a certain elf, but I think you might want to reconsider hanging around him. His personality might begin to rub off on you." Arwen warned.
"Don't worry about us Arwen." Jessica relplied. She thought Arwen was being rather childish, but she didn't expect much more from the wench who had stolen Glorfindel's roll.
"Meah, nodt yorwh outus ba." Liz insisted. Legolas and Arwen looked at Jessica for a translation.
"She said 'yeah, don't worry about us'." Jessica supplied.
The five of them walked down the hall aways, and were greeted by a chorus of good mornings. They turned to see Glorfindel, Suradulinion, and Dunathion walking up behind them.
"Good morning guys/" Legolas and Jessica greeted.
"Mord ging." Liz smiled.
The three elves looked at her funny and Jessica explained what Liz was saying.
"I'm surprised to see Arwen walking with Legolas." Glorfindel teased.
"I'm not walking with this self absorbed elf because I want to." Arwen retorted.
"Self absorbed? Don't you mean self loving?" Glorfidel teased Legolas.
"How many times must I explain that I just try to look my best, and since my best is perfect, how could I look any less?" Legolas sighed.
"Whatever Legolas." Suradulinion cut in.
"Shall we move forward and get breakfast, or are you planning on playing in the hall all day?" Dunathion suggested. The others looked at him for a second, nodded and moved on.
The group walked for awhile, and came to a set of glass doors. Legolas and Glorfindell held them open for everyone to walk through. The doors led to a balcony on which there were several tables and lots of food. The best part about the balcony was that it was in direct sunlight. The group let Arwen pass between them and head to the table first. This way everyone would get a clear view of her hair.
The moment she stepped into the sunlight her hair turned a bright crayon yellow. As Arwen walked down the rows of tables to the head table, everyone stopped their conversations and stared at her. Arwen, who thought that they were staring at her beauty, began to prance. As she approached the head table, she saw a person who delighted her. As soon as she caught sight of Aragorn, her hair turned a bright nearly neon green.
