So, you guys would think that this is the last chapter? Well, you're wrong! In this chapter you will find: some making out between Lizzy and a certain 'pony boy', Aragorn's coronation, and a twist involving Cat and Lizzy (as you would imagine). So please R&R, and enjoy!

legolasgreenleaf14: Thank you :D I did try ;) good to see it paid off. Yeah, I don't think I'm going to write a sequel, because there's a massive twist coming up (like I said above), and after that it kinda all plans out nicely to an end. Sorry :/ anyways, enjoy!

Spottedmask12: Thank you! Sorry this wasn't very soon, but enjoy!

The Coronation

Lizzy's POV

*a few days before the Coronation*

I sighed. The healers had forced me to wear a sling after they had discovered a massive gash down the side of my left arm. I hate slings. Anyway, after they had forced me into the sling, I was wandering down the corridors of Minas Tirith, sighing. So engrossed was I in my sighing, I rounded a corner and thwacked into someone. Expecting them to move, I stood there, but looked up when I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders.

"Are you alright?" Eomer asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. I'm good." I tried to move past Eomer, but he wouldn't let me.

"What did you do to your arm?" He asked.

"Cut it." I replied shortly. I really just wanted to go to my room at the moment. And lie down, visiting the world of dreams. Omg, I'm beginning to sound like Cat. No! Eomer released me.

"Oh. Well... sorry for bothering you." He began to walk off. I sighed, and spun around.

"Hey, Eomer, I'm sorry. I'm just in a bad mood at the moment." Eomer turned to face me again, smiling slightly.

"Everyone has their days." He said. I smiled hesitantly back at him, and together we continued to stroll through Minas Tirith, talking. I found out that Eomer was now King of Rohan, which I found particularly cool. We eventually ended up outside my room. I hesitated, but then asked:

"Would... would you like to come in?" I gestured to my room. Eomer went in ahead of me, and I closed the door behind us. Eomer looked around.

"Nice place you got here."

"No it's not." I said. Eomer grinned. We sat down on the bed, and continued our friendly bantering back and forth. I found it very easy to talk to him, despite the fact that yes, I had a crush on him.

After a while, our conversation lapsed into companionable silence. I kept sending darting glances in his direction, but stopped once I saw him looking at me, puzzled. After a few minutes, I looked at Eomer again just to find him already looking at me. I looked away, embarrassed. But Eomer gently took my chin in his hand, and turned my head to face him. Slowly, he bent down towards me, and our lips touched softly. Eomer drew back almost immediately. I smiled, and kissed him harder.

I can't remember much of what happened during that time, but the next thing I knew I was on my back with Eomer above me, and we were both breathing hard.

"Well, that was fun." I said, smiling up at Eomer. He grinned down at me, and we kissed again and again.

Cat's POV

*day of the Coronation*

I was in my room, getting ready for Aragorn's Coronation. I was wearing a beautiful light blue dress that went down to just above my knees, with a matching pair of pumps. I was dressing to fit the old saying: Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue. I had my blue dress, and I had gotten ('borrowed') a pair of dark blue leggings from Hollister back on Earth. Now for something old and new.

Just as I thought that, I felt a presence in my mind. I entered my mind to find my Naneth standing there.

"Naneth!" I cried. Galadriel smiled.

"Hello daughter. I have come to confirm that I am leaving for Valinor." I nodded. This, I already knew. "And also to tell you that Celebrain has already sailed."

"What? Why?" I asked.

"She was... ill the last time you saw her."

"What? She looked fine. Elves don't get ill, Naneth." Galadriel sighed.

"Yes, I know. She had been attacked by a band of Orcs a few weeks before you arrived. She left almost immediately after you had."

"Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"Because I knew you would want to come back to Lothlorien to see her, and I couldn't allow that." I nodded, understanding. "But the main reason why I have contacted you is to tell you that you must rule over Lothlorien when I have departed." I stood, shocked.

"W-What?" I stuttered. I had always secretly longed to be queen when I was younger, but now, I didn't want the responsibility. I was more of a warrior than a queen.

"But before that, you must go back."

"You've said that before." I said. "Back to where?"

"To Earth, daughter." I stood in shock for the second time.

"Back to Earth? Why?"

"Otherwise it will disrupt the natural balance of the two worlds. You know how Earth time seems not to be moving?" I nodded. "Well, it will start moving tomorrow, at exactly the time you arrived here first. You must go back, or Earth and Middle Earth could face destruction."

"Wow." I said, taking all that in. "I guess I don't have a choice. Does Lizzy have to come too?" My Naneth nodded. "She's not going to like that." I grinned.

"Before I leave your mind, I have your crown to give to you." Galadriel held out my circlet, and placed it on my head. When she did so, my hair somehow arranged itself into the Lothlorien princess style. I smiled at my Naneth.

"Thank you." My crown fulfilled both the something old and new categories, as the band itself was old, but the gems in it were relatively new. "Will I ever come back?"

"I do not know. I hope so." We embraced, and then Galadriel disappeared, leaving me alone in my mind. I left my mind to find that it was time for the Coronation. I put on a bit of eye liner, left my room and made my way to the courtyard.

After quite a while, everyone was gathered in the courtyard. I was milling around, chatting with various people. Later, I spotted Legolas through the crowd. We smiled at each other, and I began to make my way towards him. I was intercepted by Legolas' father, Thranduil.

"Your Majesty. To what do I owe this pleasure?" I really liked the King of Mirkwood. He was quiet friendly.

"I just wanted to check up on you." Thranduil always acted like a father to me. "I heard you and Legolas had a bit of trouble with Sauron." I nodded.

"Yes. But we're fine now, I think." I smiled hesitantly at him. What I said next was as much as a surprise to me as it was to Thranduil. "Your Majesty... w-w-would it be alright if I... if I..." I couldn't believe I was about to say this. "WoulditbealrightifIcourtedyourson?" I said in a big rush, blushing madly. Did I just say that? Oh god. Thranduil looked at me with an unreadable expression, but then smiled.

"Of course you can, my dear. What took you so long to ask?" I frowned at Thranduil, but saw that he was laughing. "Of course you can." He repeated. "Go with my blessing." I smiled at Thranduil.

"Thank you, my Lord." Stepping past him, I continued my search for Legolas. I found him not ten feet from where I had had my awkward conversation with Thranduil. I smiled at him, taking his hands. "Your father has given us permission to be together." Legolas smiled slowly.

"Well that's good." He said, kissing me gently on the forehead. He took my hand, and we walked to the gap in the crowd, where Aragorn would walk. "It's time."

Aragorn stood on the steps to the hall. Gandalf was standing in front of him, holding the crown. He lifted the crown high, and then placed it on Aragorn's head.

"Now come the days of the King. May they be blessed." Gandalf moved back and Aragorn stood up and walked up the steps. He turned to us. Everyone around me clapped and cheered.

"This day does not belong to one man, but to all. Let us together rebuild this world, that we may share in the days of peace." The people began to cheer and clap again. Petals began to fall down upon us. Aragorn began to sing. "Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta." (Out of the great sea to Middle Earth I am come. In this place I will abide, and my heirs, unto the end of the world.) It was the song of Elendil. Aragorn began to walk down towards the people. I watched as Faramir and Eowyn bowed low to him. Eomer, who I heard from Lizzy was now the King of Rohan, and Lizzy who was standing next to him also bowed. Aragorn reached us, and put a hand on Legolas' shoulder. Legolas repeated the action. "Hannon le." (Thank you.) He said. Legolas smiled, and indicated behind us with his eyes. Aragorn looked past us. I took hold of Legolas' hand once more, and we turned to see Arwen approaching with a banner. Aragorn went towards her, and took the banner gently from her. Arwen lowered her head to the King. Aragorn lifted her face towards him, holding her chin. Arwen smiled. They then kissed passionately, Aragorn lifting the elf up and turning around with her as they did so. Everyone clapped and Elrond smiled. The couple kissed again. Arwen laughed and clasped Aragorn to her.

The two then proceeded to walk, hand-in-hand to the Hobbits. The Hobbits all bowed to Aragorn.

"My friends." The Hobbits looked at him. "You bow to no-one." Aragorn knelt in front of them, and the whole courtyard followed suit. I knelt, glancing up at the Hobbits. They looked very embarrassed.

Next, was the feast. There were endless tables, filled with an enormous amount and range of food. I think we had most of Middle Earth in Minas Tirith that day. The hall and courtyard were filled with shouts and laughter. Even the elves were having fun, exchanging jokes and stories with the enraptured children. I was mostly lost in thought throughout this, thinking over what my mother had said. It seemed that Lizzy and I had no choice but to go back in two days' time. That was the easy part. The hard part was convincing Lizzy to come too. It seemed that her and Eomer had now established a relationship between them.

"Are you alright?" Legolas asked from my side. I leant against him.

"I don't know." I sighed. Legolas touched my cheek.

"Now is not the time for worrying." I smiled slightly, nodding.

"I know." The tables had begun to be cleared away, and it was time for the dancing. Finally. I grabbed Legolas and pulled him into the space that had been cleared away so far. The musicians had struck up, and we began to dance.

After a few dances, I went to find Lizzy. I needed to tell her that we had to leave sooner rather than later, or she would be a lot more mad at me. I found her, and dragged her away from her partner.

"I have to talk to you." Was my excuse. I pulled her to a more secluded place, and proceeded to tell her what I needed to. She looked at me when I was done.

"Are you serious?" I nodded. Lizzy grimaced.

"Well this sucks."

"It sure does. But I'm afraid we have to go back. You have tonight, and all of tomorrow. Have fun." Lizzy glared at me, but then smiled and gave me a quick hug.

"See ya." She went off to find Eomer, probably.

I lost track of time that night. I think I danced with everyone in the room, children and old men alike. I was having so much fun. Soon, by request of someone, there was a 'just elves' dance. A large space was cleared for us, and all the elves present found a partner and moved to the middle of the space. I was dancing with Legolas, of course. I saw Haldir out of the corner of my eye, and nodded to him. The music started up, and all the elves began the opening steps.

"I haven't danced this in ages." I remarked to Legolas as I passed him.

"Neither have I." This dance was basically a test of speed and agility. Elves danced it when they came of age. Since Legolas, Arwen and I hadn't come of age yet, it was highly irregular for us to be dancing it, but we danced anyway. We had been taught the steps a long time ago. What the dance did, was sped up and sped up and sped up until you could barely see the couple dancing. If you couldn't keep up with the music or made a mistake, you were out. It was a test, as I said before. Some of the elders stayed out, watching. These were mainly Elrond and Thranduil. I grinned at Lizzy as I spotted her in the crowd. She raised an eyebrow at me, and I did the same as I spotted Eomer by her side. She glared at me, and I smiled again. Legolas and I completed the first round, and the music sped up fractionally. I frowned as I saw Haldir and Arwen stopping. Haldir smiled wryly at me. I shrugged and concentrated on dancing.

I saw many open mouths at the music continued to speed up, wondering at our grace and poise. There were only a few couples left by the time we got to the fifth round. This dance was surprisingly hard, as there was a lot of pressure on you to get the steps right. Legolas and I had practised this dance together before, so we were pretty much perfectly in sync, despite our age. Soon, there were only us and a couple who must have been in their 4000's. We were going pretty fast now, so we had to concentrate harder on the right steps.

Suddenly, I slipped on - I think it must have been some spilt beer or something - and I faltered. I tried to regain the rhythm, but failed. Legolas slowed, stopping our dance.

"Are you alright?" He asked, for the second time that night. I didn't reply, and we stopped. "Iva?" I squeezed his hands, trying to reassure him. The music died down, and the other couple came to a halt too. Elrond came to congratulate them. I just looked down at the floor, not meeting anyone's gaze. The couple came over to us.

"Well done." The man said. I looked up at him reluctantly. "That dance is very difficult, and you two have done exceptionally well for elves of your age." Legolas nodded.

"Hannon le." He said. The couple moved off, and Legolas directed his look to me.

"Would you excuse me for a moment?" I muttered, not waiting for an answer. I 'excuse me'ed my way through the crowd, finally finding a quiet space near the end of the parapet. I sat down, my back to the small wall. I drew my knees up to my chest, looking out over Gondor through the small gap in the ledge. I sat for ages, wondering how I would tell Legolas that we were leaving, but my mind refused to process that conversation. I started to cry if I even thought about it.

I heard light footsteps approaching me, and I glanced back to see Legolas looking at me with quiet concern in his eyes. I looked away. Looks like I'll be having that conversation sooner than expected I thought to myself. Legolas settled myself opposite me, in much the same position I was at the moment. I carried on looking out through the gap. Legolas was obviously waiting for me to speak first. I obliged him after a while.

"It would be so easy..." I said. Legolas didn't interrupt. "Just to... fall." I began to lean out through the gap, proving my point.

"But you wouldn't." I sat back. "You wouldn't leave us." I didn't meet his eyes. "Wouldn't you?" I could hear the confusion in his voice. I sighed sadly.

"But what if I had to?" I finally looked up into Legolas' handsome face. "What if I had to go... and not know if I would return?" Legolas leant towards me slightly, anger evident in his bright blue eyes.

"I would say you were lying."

"But what if I had no choice but to leave? What if I had to?" I leant forwards, begging Legolas to understand. He sat back, hurt replacing the anger.

"Do you want to leave?" He asked carefully. I frowned.

"No! No, that's the last thing I want to do. I want to say here with you. But I have to." I could see Legolas didn't believe me. I recounted my conversation with my mother, silently pleading with him to understand. When I was finished, Legolas was silent. I watched him, but when he showed no sign of replying, I put my face between my arms. He didn't believe me.

We stayed like this for many minutes, myself despairing, and Legolas mulling over what I'd told him. Eventually, I felt a soft hand on the top of my head. I looked up to see Legolas' dazzling cerulean eyes right in front of my hazel ones.

"How long do you have?" He asked quietly.

"Tomorrow." Legolas' hand moved to my cheek.

"Then let's make it count." Legolas stood up, extending his hand. I looked at it for a moment, and then took it. Legolas pulled me up close to him, and held me there. I pressed my lips softly to his. "Come on. Let's find somewhere more... private." I pulled back, grinning at him.

"I like the sound of that."

Third person's POV

The two young couples did a lot of things that night; Eomer and Lizzy quite a bit more violent than Cat and Legolas. The two girls were trying to make the night as memorable as possible, so that they would never forget it when they left.

Lizzy hadn't told Eomer; she didn't plan on it until the last moment. Then, she reasoned, it would be too late to try and stop her. Though Eomer would try, she thought. Her thinking was interrupted by Eomer distracting her.

Cat and Legolas were lying together, talking about everything and anything apart from Cat leaving. At one point, Cat broke down crying, but Legolas comforted her until she was ready to talk again. They didn't do much kissing, more chatting. But when they grew tired of talking, they had other methods to communicate.

But, despite the couples staying with their partner for the next day, the fated day soon arrived. Lizzy told Eomer, who tried to stop her, but failed, just as she'd planned. The two pairs made their way to the end of the courtyard, where Cat and Legolas were sitting two nights before. The girls faced their partner, each saying their own goodbye:

"Don't forget me. And don't do anything stupid with your newly established kingdom."

And:

"I swear I'll come back. Hopefully, it won't take me 2000 years this time. My mother wants me to rule Lothlorien if- when I get back. Until then, could you take care of it?"

Their goodbyes done, the girls stepped back after one final kiss. Linking arms, they turned to the edge of the parapet, where a kind of portal had opened up. The two friends looked back once, and then strode through the gap, as it closed behind them.
