Disclaimer: I own nothing here.It all belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien. Except for Iraliante (Jade), Casey and Aerandir and the idea for this story. Suing me will get you nothing, well...maybe lint..

Summary: Frodo's daughter lives through the times from Middle-Earth to today to tell of her parents and events before, during and after the War of the Ring. But is she really who she claims to be and know all she tells, or simply making up her own work of fiction?

Casey: :: lounges back and yawns:: About time you started to work on the next chapter.

Moonstarr: Hey, give me a break. I've had a bit of writing trouble and.. I've been busy.

Casey: ô.o Busy? I wouldn't call sleeping and watching tv 'being busy'.

Moonstarr: H-hey! That can take a lot of concentration!!

Frodo: I must agree.

Moonstarr: Thank you Frodo.

Frodo: o.o I meant I agree with Casey..

MoonStarr: \ What?!

Frodo: O.o Legolas, where are you? Help!!

Legolas: ::steps out of bathroom with towel wrapped around his waist:: Do you think I should use the Freesia scented shampoo or the Cucumber Melon scented one?

Casey & Frodo: -.-;

Sorry this one's a bit short. My ideas for this story is all set in my mind, just seeming to have trouble putting it into words on paper and make sense.

************************

"Anything?", she asked while leaning back into her chair, folding her hands across her flat stomach. "I'm sure you are familiar with the works of a man named Tolkien? Mostly the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series?"

At this Casey's eyes light and he nodded happily. "Of course I am. He's one of my favorite authors. And the movie that's out rocks.." One of Jade's eyebrows lifted at the mention of the movie, while Casey babbled on about it. " The effects were awesome, the music great, they followed the storyline quite close.."

"Well, yes they did to a degree..", Jade tried to tell him but, Casey seemed to not hear her and kept on about it. She just tilted her head, staring at him as though he was the one who had gone mad. 'He's starting to remind me of Uncle Sam when he speaks of meeting Elves for the first time.', she thought, shaking her head, letting the young man continue with his excited chatter, since there was really no use to stop him.

"The actors, wow, what can I say about them? Brillant!! Wonderful!!! Best casting I ever saw in a film before. They really brought the characters to life. Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf, truly believable, and Saruman, that Lee man, a true villian. Liv Tyler played a very good Arwen,wish there was more to her in the books now. And and the Hobbits! They looked so real, I was really blown away. I would have to say though, by far my favorite of them all, is the one that Elijah Wood played. You know right? Frodo Baggins, the Ring-Bearer person. Really dark brown hair, almost black, bright big blue eyes, pointy ears. Maybe I have a magazine in here with a picture.."

Jade bent her head over in giggles, nodding at all he said, "Yes, yes I know him. I've seen the movie. It was quite good. They did look just as they should. Acted, as well, especially this Elijah and Ian. Too well it was almost eerie, yet..a comfort." Slight, contented smiled showned itself on her lips, while her right hand came up and fingered at the pendant on the chain around her neck.

Casey stared at her, smiling that she saw the movie, to then blush to think she wouldn't know of it. He followed her lowered gaze to her necklace before remembering why they were here in the first place and mentally slapped himself. "Oh geez, listen to me. Going on and on about the movie like a fanatic instead of letting you start your story. I'm sorry, we can start now if you wish."

The girl blinked, as if she were in a trance,until he spoke, and looked over to him. "What? Oh yes, think nothing of it. I enjoy hearing what others think of that story. Be it from book or the movie. I suppose I should start mine now. Least I know it will make a bit more sense to you now. Since you already know most of it."

"What do you mean? Since I already know most it? I don't understand.", Casey questioned, eyebrows knitted in curiosity. "What does Tolkien's writings have to do with you? Are you a relative of his or something?"

She placed her hands back onto her stomach and nodded, "Something". Taking a pause, staring at the table where the tape recorder is, wondering on how to start. ' I certainly can't tell him it was all true. He'll think I'm crazy and leave and this will all of been in vain'. She took a deep breath and began. "What, if I told you that the stories were..incomplete. Things were left out. Another romance, well, two actually. One that would never be fullfilled and the other, that would be looked upon as a great, forbidden love to outlast most, yet end in the heartbreak of death".

"Incomplete? More romanace? Heartbreak?", He asked, moreso to himself then to her. " I think it should be heard. I want to hear it. But who else had a romance besides those mentioned? Like Aragorn and Arwen, Faramir and Ewyon? Was it Legolas? But then, who? Elves are a bit hard to read. Seems like they only care mostly for nature then anything. Sorry if that sounds rude. I take it back."

She simply shook her head. "No, Elves.. are not as perfect as they claim or seen to be. They have their faults". Her deep blue eyes looked up to his pale ones. "Aragorn was not Arwen's first love".



Author's Note: Cliffhanger!! Who was Arwen's first love before Aragorn? Who does the other romance belong to? Does Casey have a thing for Jade? Why does Jade feel the need to get this story out so bad? Will Legolas ever choose a shampoo? R/R!!!
