Sobs wracked Arwen's body, causing her breathing to become irregular and difficult. Weeping slowly subsided, blue eyes staring at the ground before she attempted to stand. Her question had been answered. Aragorn did not love her anymore. Perhaps he had a reason, but Legolas was now the one who she longed to be with. Her heart had been torn by the human, yet she somehow knew that it would always end this way. He still held the Evenstar. It would be his gift to remember her for all of his life. His life would end, but the lives of Legolas Greenleaf and Arwen Undomiel would continue.
Arwen walked back to the gazebo, eyes searching for Legolas. He was nowhere to be found. She sat down where she had been only an hour ago and began to weep again. She had lost both the elf and the human. The she-elf was unsure if she would be able to survive this sorrow.
A throat cleared again. It was once again a male's voice. Arwen suspected it to be Aragorn, coming back to cause her more pain. Her eyes traveled to the face, framed in blonde hair. Legolas walked forward, holding a single yellow rose. He bent before her slightly, one hand reaching up to brush the tears from her eyes. The other handed her the rose.
"Mani marte?" [What happened?]
Arwen did not need to speak. Her eyes told of everything as they looked at the elf in disbelief that he had returned. Did he not know that he was the one with whom she had cheated on Aragorn? He must have known. Aragorn's actions told of everything, as did her own. Her voice rang in the air, asking a simple question.
"Mankoi?" [Why?]
Why did he return when he knew that she had been unfaithful before? Why would he still talk to her, even, when she had led him on to believe that she was single? Legolas looked at her, no deceit in his eyes.
"Amin mela lle." [I love you.]
Arwen gasped, not expecting such a declaration. They had only just met, yet both felt a strong connection. The she-elf leaned forward, capturing his lips in a short kiss before looking into his eyes once more.
"Amin hiraetha." [I'm sorry.]
They both understood the reason, yet the two elves made a silent pact to forget what had happened before. Legolas' hands reached forward, drawing Arwen to him as his lips gently pressed against hers once again. The brunette returned the kiss with fervor, allowing herself to give him her heart. It was broken and torn, yet with each subtle movement of his lips, it was being mended.

Elrond looked out across the garden, viewing two figures kissing in the gazebo. His acute Elven vision looked closer, identifying the male and female to be Legolas of Mirkwood and Arwen. This encounter would explain why Aragorn had been aggravated and short with the Elf lord when he had come in.
The elf would not admit openly his relief that his daughter had chosen the prince of Mirkwood. Now she would not know death. Both would travel to the Grey Havens, where they would live forever. Aragorn would find another human woman to by queen of Gondor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aragorn held in his hand the Evenstar pendant, eyes fixed upon it. He had been harsh with Arwen, yet he could not believe that she had betrayed him. The man had given her many opportunities to lead the life of immortality, yet the she-elf had remained adamant in her love for him. Now, with the arrival of this new elf, all of that had been cast away.
He walked toward the balcony, leaning on its rail as his eyes searched the garden. Two figures were in the gazebo again, lips locked. One had hair of a golden color and the other was a brunette. His breathing stopped for a moment, realizing it was Arwen and that elf. His face contorted in a mixture of anger and grief, hand cradling the Evenstar brought to his head. Aragorn had truly lost her.

A/N: Alright. I first intended this to just be a one-shot fic with one chapter. But, that obviously didn't happen. Please review. Flames are accepted, although constructive criticism is best. Please also tell me if I should continue or leave it at this. Thanks to all my reviewers!
steph-h, Beautiful Elven Princess, C_Y, leggylover, Precious Jewelle, blah, and MoNkEyPeRsOn456: alright, it's Arwen/Legolas then! Lol, thanks for reading and reviewing!
IMTrinity: hmm, I don't know how I would include Aragorn. Any ideas? And thanks for reading and reviewing!
Cat: eep! I wasn't thinking about that, but she does have blue eyes. Hrm, I'll try to get that changed.
OrliFanatic: Sorry it was so short, but I needed to know whether to make it AA or AL, and Legolas just didn't seem to fit in that chapter.
Cerridwen-Evereven: Thanks for the great review!
