Lady Anck-su-namun- Well, that was a lot of 'YAY's that I got from you. I appreciate it. I am very happy that you liked the conversation between Anwanir and Thal, or at least the little bit that you pointed out. As for the 'Maranwë/Nolofinwë' part, I will be the first to admit that I love seeing couples that have been married for many, many years be loving with each other, so I wanted to do something like that. I am glad that you thought it was sweet because that was what I was going for. With Thal and Faramir, I figured that they still would be a little weird around each other, having just met and all, so I am happy that you approve. I'm sorry that I only have a few more chapters left, so I am just as excited and upset as you. It's nice to know that you feel that way.

LOTRlover1066- Yay, I'm not hated... At least by you. I will be sad when this story is over, but it's also a happy ending because I achieved a lot with this story. I have enjoyed working on this story and it is nice to know that other people have enjoyed the end products. After this story, I'm not sure if I will do anymore Lord of the Rings stories... I don't want to do anything that is too overdone, you know. I like to be as individual as possible. Thanks again.

HuntressoftheMoon- First of all, thanks for the review, I appreciate all input. I am glad that you thought that the last chapter was sweet, I did try hard on it. As for Éomer being married to someone else in the book, I know this. I mentioned earlier that I didn't think that I was going to have her in this story. I would like to thank you for mentioning her, because if I hadn't known about Lothiriel, I would have wanted to. Thanks again!

It was the day before Aragorn was to be crowned king and Frodo had yet to wake from his slumber of exhaustion and injury that he had sustained in Mordor. Sam was awake and, just like in Rivendell, he barley left his best friend's side. At the moment, however, he was sitting with Faramir, Thal, and Anwanir in the Throne room watching Aragorn pace back and forth. The three tried to keep their laughter from bursting out while Sam sat on the floor and glanced towards the door nervously. Thal noticed this and sighed, getting Sam's attention.

"What?" He asked.

Thal shook her head, "Do you want to go and see how Frodo is doing?" She asked. Sam nodded timidly, "Well, then lets go." Sam immediately jumped to his feet and raced towards the door, "Is anyone else going to come?" Aragorn nodded and followed Sam out the door, "Anwanir, Faramir?"

"I think that it would be best if I stayed." Faramir replied.

"I'll keep him company." Anwanir said, thinking of an excuse that would let him move as little as possible as his injury was still apparent and still caused him a fair amount of pain. Thal nodded and left the room, hoping that Frodo would be awake this time. Every time that Sam left the room and returned to see that Frodo was still asleep, he became very gloomy. Even more then he had been before.

Thal walked up to the room and saw that the door was open. She also heard laughter coming from inside the room and one of those laughs was Frodo! Quickening her pace to the best of her ability, Thal raced towards the door and practically threw herself inside. All of the Fellowship was reunited in that room, Pippin and Merry jumping on Frodo's bed, Gandalf was at the foot of the bed and laughing, Gimli and Legolas were on the left side of the bed and smiling while Aragorn was on the right, Sam was nearing the bed, Thal walked over to Frodo with a smile on her face as well, and she knew beyond any doubt that Boromir was watching what he helped achieve because they would have been lost without his help.

"Thal." Frodo said, "You're alright?"

"Well, I was the last time I checked." She replied.

"But Sam and I saw you fall." He said, "Everyone did. You fell into the river and sunk under."

"I am well, I promise." Thal reassured the small hobbit, "It is you that is the one that you should be worried about." She said, "You destroyed the ring, but at a price. So rest."

Frodo laid back, but sat up again, "Can you really do magic?" Thal smiled and chuckled as she raised her hand and muttered under her breath. What looked like blue snow flakes fell from the ceiling to the amazement of the four hobbits in the room. Their smiles, so childlike and carefree, made Thal realize that everything was worth was she and her comrades had gone through. She also noticed a deep emptiness behind Frodo's eyes and knew that nothing would ever be the same for him again.

All of the people of Minas Tirith and others from various places around Middle Earth crowded into the courtyard in Minas Tirith. Aragorn was kneeling in front of Gandalf as Gandalf reached over to Gimli and took the crown that Gimli was holding from the dwarf. "Now come the days of the king." Gandalf called. He muttered something under his breath, but only Aragorn could hear him; not only because of Gandalf's whispering, but because of the cheering of the people.

Aragorn stood as the cheering began to fade. He turned, but paused to catch his breath. As he finished turning and Thal could see in his face that this he knew that he was facing the idea that he was destiny at last. Aragorn raised his hand to quiet down the rest of the cheering, "This day does not belong to one man, but to all. Let us, together, rebuild this world that we may share it in days of peace." The cheering began again and Thal smiled as she looked over to right and saw Faramir and Éowyn gazing lovingly at each other before turning there attention back to Aragorn. Thal leaned closer to Anwanir, who was on her left, and continued to listen to Aragorn as he sung.

Finishing his song, Aragorn walked down the aisle between the people. Thal smiled more broadly as Aragorn made his was past Éomer, Ireth, Éowyn, Faramir, Anwanir, and herself. They all bowed or curtsied to him, but he stopped in front of Thal and held out his arms. She chuckled and hugged him, "You saved us all. Including me." Thal said. She pulled back and added, "I'd still be lost if you hadn't found me."

"We would be just as lost." Aragorn replied. He turned to Éomer and Ireth and congratulated them on there marriage before continuing on. He stopped again in front of a large group of elves who were being led by Legolas. They placed a hand on the others shoulder and Aragorn thanked Legolas, who was trying his best to hold back his smile. Moving out of the way, Legolas revealed Elrond, who was standing in front of a white banner. He, in turn, stepped out of the way and Aragorn stood in shock as Arwen was revealed. She bowed to him and an amused twinkle played in her eyes as Aragorn's expression stayed the same. He soon began to stroke her face and pulled her into a deep and passionate kiss.

The crowd cheered even louder as Aragorn and Arwan pulled away from each other and laughed joyfully. The walked hand in hand passed the people until they came upon the hobbits. The looked around at each other and the bowed before the king and queen, "My friends." Aragorn said, "You bow to no one." With that he kneeled, followed by the rest of the people in the courtyard, overwhelming the little hobbits.

Back down the aisle, Thal looked over to Ireth and smiled to her. Both of them had the same idea, and Thal nodded to Ireth to show that they did. Raising their hands and muttering under their breath, they called for something that would truly show the peace that had been bestowed upon Middle Earth. Seconds later, white petals fell around them. The children called and pointed in surprise and the adults stood still, dumbfounded. Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf, and the hobbits smiled towards the cousins as a petal stuck to Pippin's nose.

It had been several months since the hobbits had returned home to the Shire. There had been no news from them to the other members of the Fellowship, nor had there been any the other way around. Thal rode down dirt roads towards the Shire to an event that she wouldn't have missed even if rabid Orcs had stood in her way. The event in question was Sam's wedding to Rosie Cotton.

One night, several nights before, Thal had not been able to sleep. Early in the morning, she had been hit by visions of a hobbit wedding and a hobbit women, the bride, with ribbons on her hair. Before Sam had left to return to the Shire, he had described Rosie to her, so Thal knew exactly what was happening.

Stopping just outside of the Shire, Thal tied up her horse and muttered, "Stay here, I'll be right back." The horse caught her sleeve in it's mouth and pulled her back, "This won't take long." She persisted, pulling her sleeve away. He whinnied, but complied, "I'll be right back." The Shire seemed abandoned, but Thal knew that everyone must be at the wedding. She walked along the road, but stopped when she heard music playing behind the trees. Thal made her way through the trees and stopped behind one, so that she could see everything, but no one could see her.

The wedding was more then beautiful. Flowers floated around, falling off of trees, and Sam looked happier then Thal had ever seen him. Pippin, Frodo, and Merry were sitting in the front row smiling for their friend. Thal sat under the tree as Sam and Rosie said beautiful things about each other and kissed, cheers meeting them when they parted. Rosie threw her bouquet of flowers into the crowd and Pippin, of all people, caught it. A hobbit women next to him sent an impish smile and wink his way. Pippin nodded to her and turned back with an innocent look on his face.

Thinking that she should give something to Sam and Rosie for their marriage, Thal thought about what Gandalf had said about Bilbo's birthday. He had had a lot of fireworks that night. But, then again, it wasn't night. Thal thought hard and smiled when something finally popped into her head. When she was a child, faeries had lived in the woods that she had lived in. She had saved one who had gotten her foot stuck in a knothole in the wood and they had been grateful to her ever since, considering that the faerie had been the princess.

Thal closed her eyes and whispered, "Honeyleaf. Clearberry." In no time flat, two faeries emerged in front of her. The realized who she was and fluttered over to hug her face, "It's nice to see you two again, as well." Honeyleaf, the princess, looked triumphant over Clearberry, her older brother. Thal immediately noticed and furrowed her eyebrows, "What?" She asked. Honeyleaf shrugged it off and Thal sighed, "Anyway, do you see that?" She pointed to the wedding. The nodded, "Well, my friend, Sam, just got married and I was wondering if you could help me." Yet again, the faeries nodded and flew over towards the wedding.

Thal stayed behind the tree and watched and Honeyleaf and Clearberry sprinkled their magic over Sam and Rosie. The two hobbits were startled as they began to float in the air. Then the faeries sprinkled magic over the other hobbits, causing them to float. Thal shook her head, knowing that hobbits were not particularly pleased with heights, and she used her own magic to place them all safely on the ground.

Giggling, Clearberry and Honeyleaf flew back over to Thal and landed on her shoulders, "You two knew that hobbits don't like heights."

"Yes." Clearberry replied, "We do know."

"Yet you did that?"

"You asked for help." Honeyleaf said, "We made your presence known to your hobbit friends."

"They will come and find you soon." Clearberry added.

"Here they come now." Honeyleaf said, pointing towards the wedding ceremony, "And we must leave. Perhaps we will see more of you." Thal nodded and the faeries dissipated.

"Thal!" Pippin called as he entered the trees and saw her, "You're here?"

"That I am." She replied as she kneeled down and hugged the hobbits, "Congratulations Sam."

"Thanks Thal." Sam said, "How did you know that I was..." Then he remembered that Thal was magical, "Never mind."

"We didn't think that we would see you again." Merry said, "But your here."

"I missed you all and when I found out that Sam was getting married, I couldn't miss it. Not even rabid Orcs would have kept me from seeing this." She assured them, "And I saw that you got a young hobbit lass' attention, Pippin." Pippin shifted his weight from one foot to the other.

"How long can you stay?" Frodo asked.

"Not long." Thal admitted, "But I will be around when ever you need me." She pointed towards his heart, "Here." She said. "And here." She added, pointing to his head, "Just call if you are in trouble and I will come to your aid."

"Promise?" The four hobbits asked in unison.

"I promise."

Okay, I know that it may seem a little childish adding faeries (or, if you prefer, fairies) to this story. But, come on people, this is more then likely going to be the second to last chapter in this story (I have to have Legolas and Tarí be reunited), so I think that I am entitled to a little bit of childishness. If you think that I am wrong, then feel free to tell me, but I'm not changing anything. Plus, I like faeries...
