(Two days before band camp)
Artemis was glad she was getting off grounding tonight. The only person that had been allowed to spend the night was Pippin. Her dad happens to understand that Pippin needed to get away from his parents when they fought. Often they had to take him and his sisters, so they wouldn't get hit from the flying chairs. Now Pearl, at eighteen and moved out and was going to adopt them. If she wasn't able, Archie said he would. Archie always took in people that needed help or a safe haven. Artemis couldn't figure out what her dad did as a job, being that a student teacher didn't get a paycheck, but they always had enough money to take in the outcast. Artemis hoped that each person that came in would know her mother. No one ever did. BC knew, and her dad did but neither would talk about her. It seemed her mother was some sort of goddess that was forced back up to Mount Olympus leaving her and her brother behind.
Artemis groaned She and Nimardie was up in the huge attic searching for her old mini archery set for Pippin. They wanted to teach him archery, but the bows they owned were too big.
"Does your dad ever clean this place out?" Nimardie gasped, throwing around some random things.
"It wouldn't be over there. That was from the most recent person that was here. It would be farther back."
"Why were you wearing Lindir's shirt and BC was wearing just pants?" Nimardie went back into the area of the attic, which was covered, in a thick layer of dust.
"We fell into a mud pile." Artemis turned bright red. "On accident."
"Arty, why don't you just ask her out?" Nimardie threw a piece of clothing at her. Artemis picked up the shirt and looked at it, it was a nice little corset with flowers embroidered on it, in Rivendell fashion. Artemis went behind an old room divider and tried it on. It fit her perfectly. She came out and showed it off to Nimardie.
"Dude, there is a whole bunch of clothes that size. Do you want them?" Nimardie laughed. Artemis and Nimardie went through the clothes laughing. Some of them had a name in elfish script embroidered on them.
"These must have been your moms." Nimardie fingered the script. "You were named after her, ne?" Nimardie stood up and stretched.
"I frankly don't know. I might have been named for an aunt." Artemis picked up a Lorien style silk dress, and twirled around.
"Well, most likely these were who ever you were named after...Doesn't Pippin call you Celeby some times?" Nimardie figured an old baby blanket.
"Yes, or sometimes he accidentally calls me mommy." Artemis smiled. She picked up a corset, that had blood spilled on it. "Hey, look my archery set!"\"What is that?" Nimardie picked up leather bound book, which was near the bow. She opened it. "It's pictures! Awe, Joel looked so cute as a baby."
"Let me see." Artemis giggled. Whoa, that is one hot chick!" Nimardie pointed to a woman who was sitting near Archie laughing at something out of frame.
"Do you know who it is?" Artemis asked her. Nimardie just shook her head. Artemis smiled, and turned the page. There was the lady holding Joel kissing Archie.
"Well...looks like we found your mom." Nimardie turned red. "She's a babe…it this one she looks sort of like Arwen."
"Thanks…"Artemis rolled her eyes. "Anyway…that woman looks way better." She pointed to a blonde woman hold a sleeping baby boy.
"Of course, she looks like BC." Nimardie rolled her eyes. She took out the picture and read the back. "It is. Do you know anyone named Westron?"
"Yes…the co-trumpet leader. He is one of my brother's many crushes. You know Joel, a regular man's…man?" Artemis snorted at how weird that sounds. Nimardie and Artemis took down the clothed archery set and she hid the album under some clothes. BC was down in the kitchen talking to Archie. Artemis and Nimardie stopped three steps before they would enter the kitchen, and closed the door.
"She is going to cut you out? How could she? You're her son!" BC shook her head.
"She thinks we are living in sin…Hell, she doesn't know that Joel and Arty isn't yours! If Celebrian would give me the proof I need I wouldn't be in this mess." Archie calmly sipped on his coffee.
"The fuck she won't! I almost killed her when she went crawling back to Elrond…I will kill her if she denies you of your birth right!" BC nearly yelled. Artemis could tell, from experience, that she was holding back as not to alarm the kids. Artemis Went down and looked through a crack in the door.
"Don't worry, we have ways to prove she is the mom, not you. Elrond will help us there. My mother can't ruin it, now she gave the official word." Archie smiled coldly. Artemis hadn't ever seen her dad smile like that.
"Archie, what about..." BC sat down. "IF she ever found out about …"
"She thinks it is Elrond, and Brightlen confirms it." Archie went over and hugged BC.
"Brightlen? She can't even remember you're her brother!" BC dryly commented.
"The fuck she don't BC, she pretends she always have. She pretends she always have. She doesn't like to think about unpleasant things, so she pretends they never happened. You can tell she remembers, Brightlen still lets me call her Aimee, and no one else." Archie smiled.
"Your family has a thing for nicknames. Your mother would let only certain people call her mom, you and your full name, Joel only let's Celeby call him Jo-Jo. And of curse Celeby with Celeby." BC smiled.
"Lets not forget about you and Linny." Archie laughed. "And what was that name I heard someone refer to you as…Dragon?" Archie laughed finishing his coffee. BC turned a bright shade of red.
"No one has ever called me that!" BC stuttered.
"I know what goes on in my household, Araelin." Archie left smiling.
"Dragon?" Nimardie giggled slightly. "That's interesting."
"Shutta up!" Artemis laughed. Nimardie pushed on Artemis and they both fell, bursting opened the door,
"Celeby, Nymph. Was sup?" BC laughed.
"We found my archery set." Artemis giggled. "And some old clothes,"
Nimardie sat there giggling. Artemis elbowed her and she stopped.

(Band office, same time)
Elrond paced back and forth in his office. He was glad he was retiring. Of course, his bratty no good wife was still going to be here…he wasn't. In ways he was glad, but mainly he was sad. He would miss Ameliee. Ah his forbidden love. Ever since last year he had loved her. She was his wife's cousin…He had wanted so much to divorce his wife and marry Ameliee. But elves mate for life, not for love, Galadriel had this marriage arranged since both of them were born. Elrond sat down and sighed. He knew his wife had never been faithful, but her last request is amazing. Celebrian wanted to find some kids she had with the man she once loved. Elrond just let her try, but if it came to it, he would hide the kids from her. They probably have a better life with their dad. HE had a strong hunch that the new intern happened to be the guy. They hanged out when they were younger, then Mr. Argurth went to Northwood academy. Now he had gone back to school and was a senior in the local music school, unlike his best friend, BC. She had been in the ninth grade since Elrond had been in it. She hadn't moved up since then. She had been absent a lot and when she was there she slept. Oddly enough she happen to get decent grades. But skipping for nine weeks at a time they wouldn't let her past.
The phone rang waking up Elrond from his train of thought. He picked up the receiver. It was his supposed wife.
"Is Archie there?" Celebrian asked sounding a bit rushed.
"No...he is at his house, I would guess. Why?" Elrond almost laughed.
"Screw that." Celebrian hung up. Well, that was his bloody wife for you. He yawned noticing Gandalf in his corner.
"Celebrian is very cursed." Gandalf blew smoke from his pipe, into a house.
"My whole household is." Elrond laughed. "My sons enjoy each other's company. My daughter doesn't notice that she isn't hiding anything…"
"Hiding what?" Gandalf gave his all knowing look. "Elrond, don't make assumptions."
"Gandalf, how do you find out all this gossip?" Elrond asked through a yawn.
"The stupid kept their eyes close and ears too, Elrond." Gandalf pointed outside the window to two guys making out,
"The smart uses both, and doesn't tell." Elrond looked closer and saw one of them was Westron.
"Bloody hell." Elrond spitted into the garbage. "Does everyone with my chromosome enjoy men except me?
"Who says it's your chromosome?" Gandalf looked toward the door. There was Bilbo standing there.
"Elrond, the pink Flamingo opens in an half-an-hour. If we want good seats for the concert, we better leave now." Bilbo shook his keys. Elrond got up and left. Gandalf looked back out the window, and saw the other guy was Joel. Well, now he had something to kept his mind off his mother…even if it was his half brother.

An: Hehehe…Just r/r…oh yes, I don't own anything, and it would be a shame if you took it from me. *Runs off thinking of ways to torture Mrs. Dixie*
