We stood at the bank and Aragorn called, "You will go no further! You will not enter Gondor!"

The captain of one of the ships barked, "And you will deny us passage?"

Aragorn said quietly, "legolas, shoot an arrow past that man's ear."

Legolas took aim and Gimli said, "Mind your aim." And nudged the bow. The shot went wide and hit the man beside the captain. Legolas looked at Gimli in annoyance and Gimli said in shock, "Oh!"

I laughed as he said, "Right we warned ya, preapare to be boarded!"

The pirates laughed, "By you and what army?"

Aragorn grinned, "This army."

They nearly shit their pants when the army of the dead came at them from behind us and we happily took over their ships.

I helped put some things away as we sailed down the river and nearly fell on my butt when a ghost appeared in front of me, "Your Brother is looking for you."

I stared and then slowly smiled and said, "Thank you. Um where is he?" The ghost, looking about 30-ish when he had died pointed to a ship next to us. Boromir was scowling at the rail and I laughed, "I got on the wrong ship! How silly."

I turned to the ghost and said, "Thank you, um?" He bowed his head and said, "Glicyn." I smiled and bowed back, "I'm Ariana. And thank you." He gave a nod and I turned, grabbed a roll of rope and ran to the mast and started climbing.

I heard men whispering but ignored them as I came to the crows nest. I grinned at the Ranger there and tied the rope to mast and looked over at the ranger over on the other ship. I called, "Tie this to the mast!"

At his nod I tossed the rope and he caught it and tied it tight. I grinned widely and cautsiously stepped onto the rope. I heard Boromir yelling and smiled down at him and crept over the rope. He started climbing the mast and yelled, "young lady, you get down from there right now!"

I looked at him, smirked and fell. I heard gasps as I grabbed the rope and swung around before letting go at the right moment and shot up and landed on the railing of the crows nest. I motioned to the ranger on the ship I just left and he untied it and I did this side and rolled it up.

I handed it to the man next to me and saw Boromir's head peek over the edge and he growled, "You are in so much trouble!"

I grinned and fell back. He gave a shout and I grabbed the yard of the mast and then dropped. I landed on the rail next to the steering wheel and called up, "Only if you can catch me dear brother!"

He shouted angrily and I hopped down to the deck, bowed to the elves, "My lords." Then I bolted.

By the time Boromir got back down to the deck, I was hidden and hidden well. He scowered the ship for over two hours before giving up and sitting tired next to Gimli and joined him next to the rail, "I can't find head nor tail of her."

Gimli said, "She'll come out when she's hungry."

I raised my head from the box I was in and called, "Still angry Boromir?" He gapped in shock as I unfolded myself from the cramped box and rubbed my back, "I'm not as flexible as I used to be."

I stretched until my back popped and waved cheerfully at Boromir, "Hi!"

He growled and was after me before I could blink. I ran away screaming and he roared, "Your not getting away!" I turned the corner and saw Aragorn and Legolas talking dead ahead, and blocking the way. I gave a shout and they turned in surprise. I grabbed their shoulders and flipped over them and called, "Heads up Boromir!"

I looked back as Aragorn managed to catch Boromir before he fell from stopping so fast and I jumped up onto the upper deck where Hal directed the ship and hid in a pile of rope behind him, "Don't tell him where I am."

He shook his head and Boromir ran up looking and said, "Have you seen my sister My Lord."

Hal shook his head and Boromir stomped back down to look for me. I crept out of my hiding spot and hugged Hal, "Thank you!" He smiled and I decided to go find Boromir before he killed someone trying to find me.

I hopped onto the deck and sat on the rail as Boromir came from below deck and saw me. I held up my hands in defeat and said, "It was just a bit of fun."

He roared angirly, "FUN! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOUSELF KILLED!"

I winced and rubbed my ears, "I've done this before, I know what to do. I'm sorry for worrying you." He nearly pulled out his hair, "And then you run! Do you know how worried I was?"

I grabbed his arm and said quickly, "Look I'm sorry. Really. I didn't mean any harm."

I gave him my best puppy dog eyes and he scowled and growled, "Don't do something like that again!"

I saluted with a loopy grin and he stormed off, mumbling about turning gray early and needing a smoke. I sighed in relief and turned to the Twins as they walked up. Elladan asked, "Where did you learn to do things like that?"

I shrugged, "For fun mostly." I stood and easily stood on my hands and walked around them, "I get bored so I try different things."

I flipped upright and grinned. Elrohir smiled and said, "Can you do anything else?"

I looked and found my pack and pulled out some apples and started juggling, "Just about anything. I'm rather good I think." I flipped them both an apple and bit into mine, "I have to be in shape for all the crap I do."

Elladan nodded, "We have no doubt about that." I whapped him and heard someone call them and waved as the left. I turned and stared out at the water, hoping Cloud was ok. And Amberfire. They promised to meet me once the White City was saved.

I sighed and groaned, "Now I'm bored." I looked around for something to do and saw Glicyn appear nearby. I waved and he came up and asked, "What are you doing, My Lady?"

I sighed mornfully, "Being bored. You?"

I saw him shrug and an idea came to me, "Hey, if you had to fall down a cliff or a ravine, which would you pick?"
