A/N: This takes place about one or two months later in Rivendell since if I
wrote what happened between the time of the destroying of the ring and
their journey to Rivendell it would be pretty boring. So, here's the next
chapter!
**
Aryante woke up in a large bed in Rivendell and almost thought it had all been a dream. After all, she had woken in the same place many times in her life. She opened her eyes and looked across the room where Pippin was gazing outside from the balcony. Though no sound came from her, he immediately turned around and ran to her side, greeting her with a rather friendly kiss.
"You slept in, you know," Pippin said as he pulled away. Aryante shrugged.
"I was tired," She said. "That quest really took a lot out of me."
"Well you've woken up so now you have no choice but to get up," Pippin said, grabbing her hand and pulling her out of bed before she had any time to argue. Aryante laughed a little.
"All right, all right," She said yawning. "Just let me get dressed and I'll be right out." Pippin left the room and waited outside for her. Aryante went over to a chair where a red Elven dress was laying and put it on. She walked out of the room where Pippin was waiting.
"Come on," Pippin said as he grabbed her hand. "Everyone is waiting!" He pulled her quickly down the hall and she felt that she was likely going to trip on her dress at the speed he was going, especially since she was still a bit tired. He led her outside to the area where the Fellowship had been joined together. Everyone was sitting in chairs next to each other as they once had, though no unhappiness was in the air as it had been before. They were all cheerfully talking to one another and all looked up as Aryante and Pippin entered the area. Aryante felt a little embarrassed that she was late and wondered how long she had kept them waiting. She and Pippin sat down in chairs next to each other and looked over at Elrond, who had just got out of his chair and stood facing everyone.
"As you all know, there are many reasons as to why we are meeting here today," He said. "One of the reasons is that after today you might not all gather together again, though your paths will most likely cross once more. You all, of course, are welcomed to stay here at Rivendell for as long as you need. In the mean time, I suggest you all make this last day a pleasant one, unlike the last time we had gathered here."
"Oh! Oh!" Aria raised her hand, almost jumping out of her chair.
"Yes?" Elrond slightly raised and eyebrow at her.
"I wrote some songs! Can I sing them for everyone?" Elrond nodded. Aria got up and picked up a guitar from next to her and stood facing everyone. [A/N: It would be an acoustic, not electric for those out there that considers a guitar automatically electric]
"OK, this is my first song and it's called The Fellowship," Aria cleared her throat and started singing. "Frodo. His name sounds like doe, but it's not. Remember what Bilbo said, Frodo. It's a dangerous business going out your door. Especially to get the mail. My cousin died that way. Frodo has a bunch of friends, squishy Samwise and the Brandybuck Merry. The fool of a Took Peregrin with his faithful companion, the other elf lady, who appeared out of know where." Someone muttered a bit loud "Aryante," Aria took no notice of the remark and continued singing.
"And Aragorn, son of Arathorn, son of no one cares, and the Legolas boy with his arrows so ready, and Gandalf who could never die. Then Isabella, she has a cool name. Julia; her name begins with a J. Isn't that great? And that is the Fellowship, la, la, la, la, la!" Everyone politely clapped for her, though there were a few amused looks on some of their faces. Some others were just plain confused while others were trying to think of what to make of the song.
"My next song is called Legolas," Aria said. "Legolas, he is an elf. Legolas, look at him run, look at him run. Where does he get his hair done? When our hair is full of tangles, his is very. Unmangled. He is friend of Dwarves and he is single, and loving it. Legolas, our friend! La, la, la, la, la!" There were a few quiet amused laughs at the question of where does he get his hair done. "My next song is about you, Aryante.
"Aryante, it's like my name, only it's not. She is an elf, like I am, only she's shorter. Her best friend is Pippin," Aria winked at the two of them. "And Frodo and Merry too. And with them together, they'll destroy evil too. La, la, la, la, la!" There were a few less claps than before as they seemed to be getting a bit bored of her short songs. Aryante and the hobbits, on the other hand, were being very amused by them.
"This one is about Aragorn," Aria said. "He's Aragorn, son of Arathorn, King of Gondor. He's really cool, has a cool haircut and is married to a cool elf. Boy is he lucky, la, la, la, la, la!" A few clapped and Aryante started to notice that Aria had been only playing one chord the entire time. Also, her songs sounded very much alike. "Here's one about Frodo!
"Frodo, Frodo, he's a nice guy who lives in Bag End. He's pretty wealthy, he's a very eligible bachelor and so am I. Oops, I really just messed that up, but who cares? I'm still gonna play! And Frodo, he has nice eyes, which you can get lost in for a while. Have you tried?? La, la, la-" Aria strummed the guitar a little too hard and dropped it.
"..."She blinked before picking it back up and continued playing. "La, la, la!"
"Any requests? Anyone? OK then, I'll keep singing!" A few people groaned, but, like most things in life, she took no notice.
"This one is called The Land of Mordor Where the Shadows Lie," She cleared her throat and continued playing. "Mordor is really bad. There was evil there that does not sleep. Were they insomniacs? We will never know. Unless we go back. To the gift shop! La, la, la, la, la, la!" She bowed, letting everyone know that she was finished. She got a loud applause from bowing as a lot of the people had gotten tired of her songs a while ago.
It was night now and Aryante had long since snuk away from the others and was walking around outside by herself, listening to the faint voice of elves singing some where behind her with the sound of the voices of everyone inside. She shortly returned back inside and walked into the room where everyone had gathered in. Aragorn, Arwen, Elrond, and Gandalf were talking to each other in a corner while Julia and Isabella were laughing at some jokes Aria was saying. Frodo and Sam were talking with each other while Merry and Pippin were talking to Legolas. Aryante talked for a while to various people before she felt tired. She then walked to her room and closed the door behind her. A few minutes later the door opened and closed again. Aryante turned around and needed no explanation as Pippin lightly pressed her up against the wall as he kissed her passionately. All she knew then was that they were alone together and this time there would be no one to interrupt.
A/N: I am SOOOOOO sorry that it took me this long to get this chapter out! I've been WAY loaded up on homework lately, so there's my not-so-good excuse. Anyway, credit for those. *ahem*. Lovely songs sung by Aria are copyrighted by my friend Ariana. I'm going to be uploading her singing them some time soon (hopefully), so more to come soon! You know the drill if you want to be updated.
