Ariwen's Visit to the Shire
Part 4
Disclaimer: You know the drill
StarwarsFREAK: I have two other fics that I'm going to put on FanFiction.Net after this one, but neither have room for Frodo. I'll do a one chapter fic about Frodo after this fic is done, though. Anyway, thanks for reviewing!
When the farmer reached Bag End he knocked loudly, and almost at once Rosie answered it. When she saw the position that Elanor and Ariwen were in, she quickly invited the farmer inside so their ears would be free.
As she quickly got out the teapot, Rosie asked, "So, what happened here? I was quite startled by your sudden appearance, begging your pardon."
"These two young lassies were on me land after some mushrooms" growled the farmer.
"Elanor! Ariwen! Is this true?"
Elanor slowly nodded. At that moment, Arwen came from her room. "What happened?" she asked curiously.
Ariwen gulped. When provoked, her mother could be worse than an army of Uruk-Hai. This would certainly provoke her.
Rosie looked at Ariwen. "Would you care to answer that?" she asked.
Ariwen slowly nodded. "Elanor and I sort of...well...we sort of...we tried to steal some of Farmer Maggot's mushrooms!" she ended quickly, as to get it over with.
It took a moment for Arwen to register the facts. Then she started. "Ariwen Telcontar! YOU JUST WAIT UNTIL YOUR FATHER HEARS OF THIS! YOU HAVE SOILED THE FAMILY NAME AND THAT OF MINAS TIRITH!" she went on like that for what seemed like hours, when Aragorn entered.
At once from the adults flushed faces and the girls' hanging heads, he could tell that something was wrong. "Has something gone amiss?"
"AMISS?" Arwen shouted. "WHAT ELSE COULD HAVE HAPPENED? OUR DUAGHTER WAS WITH ELANOR AND SO SUDDENLY, THE TWO DECIDED THAT THEY SHOULD GO STEAL A FEW MUSHROOMS FROM THIS FARMER!" Aragorn winced. She was screaming so loudly he was sure that they would have no trouble at all hearing her if they were in Rohan.
Then Sam entered. He could tell by the look on Farmer Maggot's face, and by the fact that he was there at all that someone in Bag End had been in his crop. Then his eyes fell on Elanor and Ariwen. There was the answer. He stepped up next to Aragorn and seeing his wife suddenly open her mouth as if to explain, he cut her short. "I know what happened, Rosie. No need to explain anything."
Sam and Aragorn glanced at each other. It didn't need to be spoken. The two fathers strode up to their children and took their own by the ear.
Ariwen grumbled. This was the second time in one day that someone had her by the ear. She was getting rather tired of it.
When they were back at the campsite, Aragorn started the yelling. Thankfully, he wasn't nearly as loud as his wife. "YOU HAVE DISHONORED YOURSELF, THE FAMILY NAME, MINAS TIRITH AND GONDOR. IF YOU HAD BEEN A PEASANT GIRL, THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT. BUT ALAS, YOU ARE NOT! YOU ARE THE PRINCESS OF GONDOR AND ARNOR! WHAT HAVE YOU TO SAY TO THAT?"
"I have nothing to say, Father." Ariwen answered quietly.
"Then perhaps you shall show a little more regard when in a foreign country!" the king raged on. Finally he stopped and sighed. He then spoke in a soft voice. "When we return to Minas Tirith, you shall help the royal gardener for two weeks and no less. Perhaps you shall then learn what hard work it takes to grow crops."
Ariwen then realized that he was more disappointed than angry. She then stood up and performed a small curtsy. "Yes, Father."
The king then gave her leave to return to Bag End. Ariwen soon found out that Elanor's punishment was not much more satisfactory than hers.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME FOR WHAT I DID!!!!!! *dodges rotten tomato thrown at her*
Author's Note: I edited Ariwen's punishment a little here, so if you want to read the original one, it's on TolkienOnline.Com, but trust me, you won't like it!
