Chapter Four: In which we attempt to solve the problem.

To my reviewers (as of 29.12.2003):

I'm From Tookland: Yes. 23. I added about 8 after seeing "Return of the King". What a great movie. But watch it if you get anymore - It was hard with 9. Now it's chaos. :-D

DoomedQueenAnne: Thank you, thank you. Hope you like t'rest.

Scene: Lorien

Galadriel sighed. Everyone except Aragorn was present, and Arwen was having a lot of trouble contacting him. She kept acting like Aragorn and rushing off to get dirty, then going back to Arwen and going off to wash. It was really getting annoying, so finally Galadriel said, "Arwen. Stop. I am going to contact Aragorn. Stay there with your father. Ok?"

"Fine," Arwen said huffily. She flounced over to where Elrond was seated and sat down next to him, pouting.

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, Arwen, you are going to see Aragorn again. For a minute," Elrond said to his daughter.

"Really?" Arwen said, incredulous. Elrond glared at her. "What?" she demanded. Elrond sighed. How, how had he gotten a daughter so stupid? By the Valar.

"Nothing, sweetheart. Nothing." Elrond glanced at Galadriel. Good. She was already contacting Aragorn.

Mindspeaking -

"Aragorn."

"Dude, I'm like, sleeping here! I need my beauty sleep, so if you'll kindly go away now."

"Aragorn, son of Arathorn, Isildur's Heir, Estel, Strider, Elfstone, Elessar, and whatever else your names are you will answer me now." Galadriel said bossily.

Aragorn sighed. "Oooo kkk. But let me put my make up on."

"No!"

"Fine, fine. What do you want?"

"You're coming to Lothlorien. Now." Galadriel informed him.

"What?" Aragorn was confused, but it didn't matter as a second later he vanished in golden, elven magical light.

"Wwwwooooowwww." Aragorn said. Then he saw Arwen. "Arwen!"

"Aragorn!"

"Like, hey babe!"

"Hello sexy." Arwen said, fluttering her eyelids at him

"So like, what are we here for, babe?" Aragorn asked.

"Umm, see, I like, gave you some of my feminine side and like, vice versa with you." Arwen told him.

"Fascinating."

"Aragorn, you sound like Spock." Elrond said.

"Oh, he's a distant cousin of my mother's uncle's great-aunt's sister."

"Oooookkkk."

"Can we please get started?" Galadriel demanded.

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

"Celeborn, we're ready!" Galadriel called. Her husband entered, carrying a beautifully decorated chest.

"Here," he said. "It's in there."

"Thanks, honey!" Galadriel winked at him. Celeborn grinned and exited.

"Ok, repeat after me, you two." Galadriel commanded.

"Ok, repeat after me, you two." Aragorn said obediently.

"No, Estel! Wait!" Elrond said, exasperated. He smacked his foster son.

"Very sorry Elrond."

"Hmph."

"Anyway, Arwen, repeat. I, Arwen Undomiel, Evenstar of my people, take back my gift of immortality to Aragorn."

"But I don't."

"Just say it!"

"Fine. I, Arwen Undomiel - but you aren't me."

"I know that, girl, just say it!!"

"Right. I, Arwen Undomiel, Evenstar of my people, take back my gift of immortality to Aragorn."

"Good. Now, Aragorn. I, Aragorn, son of Arathorn, give back the gift of immortality to Arwen Undomiel, Evenstar of her people."

"I, Aragorn, son of Arathorn, give back the gift of immortality to Arwen Undomiel, Evenstar of her people." Aragorn repeated.

"Did it work?" Elrond inquired.

"We'll see," said Galadriel.

"When?"

"Next chapter."

"Right, then."
