nope, still don't own LOTR, although two certain sons of a steward would be
mighty nice...
Chapter 3: A plan
Gandalf approached Aragorn and Jade , looking the girl over. He smiled wide
and took the girl in a warm embrace.
"It's wonderful to see you again, Thalion, after all these years. Look how
you've grown!", Gandalf said.
Jade blinked, surprised that Gandalf still remembered her, and to hear the
name that she hadn't been called in a long time.
"It's just as good to see you, Gandalf! I'm sure it's been a task keeping
my brother out of trouble", she said, grinning mischeviously at Aragorn.
Gandalf then looked over to Raven who stood next to the bar with her arms
crossed. She wasn't sure how to handle all these men. Especially Strider,
or whatever his name was. He was so mysterious and unlikable, but there was
this strange attraction…
Just then, Gandalf called to Raven and asked her to sit with Jade and the
other men. She did so, and sat there, uneasily, as the story of the Quest
for the One Ring was told. The Fellowship of Nine had just set out from
Rivendel, and were unaware of the dangers that lay ahead.
Gandalf was silent for a few moments before looking at Jade and Raven.
"I now request the presence of you two on our quest.", he said, then looked
directly at Jade. "For two can be more powerful than one".
Raven immediately shook her head no in protest. She did not like this idea
at all. Jade, always one for adventure was bouncing in her seat.
"I'm going, definitely!", she exclaimed as a huge smile spread across her face.
Aragorn, however, was very unhappy. So unhappy he spit his drink everywhere
when he heard Jade's acceptance of the quest.
"I be dead before I see my baby sister put in direct danger", he said,
crossing his arms and pouting like a baby.
~*~
Boromir just sat there, staring at Jade. He couldn't believe his ears! She
was coming along! He was so giddy!!
*Ahem. Can we get back to my pouting?*
Oh, sorry Aragorn.
*Grumble*
~*~
Against the doubts that Raven and Aragorn had, it was decided that there
were to be two extra companions on the quest. Of course, Raven and Aragorn
were the only two who seemed to be that unhappy about it, and promptly took
it out on each other.
"Why the hell are YOU here again?", Aragorn growled to the elf. All she
had done since they left Brant was complain and complain.
"I didn't even want to COME on this quest, so zip it Shaggy.", Raven shot
back, angry that she had let her friend talk her into coming along.
"Hey, can't we all just get along?" came the voice of Gimli, who was quite
happy to have females to look at.
"My thoughts exactly, Master Dwarf", Jade said. She sat atop the same
horse as Aragorn, and was getting tired of hearing her brother and her best
friend bicker. But none the less, they continued going at each other's throat.
"Can't you tell when you need a bath, Master Strider? I'm surprised even
the flies haven't fallen over from the foul stench", Raven said turning her
nose up.
"Raven, put a sock in it, alright?", Jade quipped, but to no avail.
Aragorn pondered for a moment, then laughed.
"I didn't think it was possible to be any worse than that stupid bitty
Arwen. However, Raven, you take the cake! I'd hate to know I had to spend
the rest of eternity with you…you Ice Queen of a…", he started before Jade
cut him off.
"Both of you are in time out!", she screamed.
*Birds chirping*
Jade sighed with relief as silence came over the group. Aragorn was pouting
once again (jeez, I never knew a grown man could pout so much), and Raven
looked slightly perterbed at having been put in time out. The hobbits were
too involved with their stolen veggies, Legolas hadn't muttered a word the
whole time, Gimli stared lovingly at Raven, and Boromir smiled shyly at Jade.
Jade couldn't help but notice how handsome this Boromir guy was. His eyes
danced when he laughed, he was tall, lean and muscular, his reddish blonde
hair fell messily to his shoulders and his goatee was cut close to his face.
She smiled back at him, and wondered why he seemed so troubled.
~*~*A/N: Oh, by the way...in case we forgot to mention before, this is fan-FICTION. What are you Tolkien purists gonna do about it???
