Ariwen's Visit to the Shire Part 5

Disclaimer: I don't own The Lord of the Rings...I'm just obsessed with it.

StarwarsFREAK: Thanks for reviewing! I originally made Aragorn angry but then a friend told me that it wasn't really his nature, so I changed it.
As she walked slowly back to Bag End, Ariwen was thinking about Eldarion. He didn't know yet, but once he got wind of this, she would never hear the end of it.

Quite suddenly, she found herself inside Bag End., with her mother in front of her berating her with questions about her punishment. "I have to help the royal gardener for two weeks when we get back to Minas Tirith." Ariwen said quickly and left her mother's presence in search of Elanor.

Ariwen found her sitting on the edge of her bed sulking. "I've got three weeks helping Farmer Maggot with his crop, you?" asked Elanor as soon as Ariwen entered.

"Two weeks helping out the royal gardener" Ariwen replied.

"Our mother's have been talking. You leave tomorrow for Minas Tirith."

"WHAT?!" screamed Ariwen, "tomorrow?"

"Yes, tomorrow" Elanor replied impatiently.

They both complained long into the night in Elanor's room until they finally fell asleep together on the bed.
The next day, all was ready to depart. Aragorn, Sam, Merry and Pippin were trying hard not to cry in front of the children, likewise with Arwen and Rosie. Elanor and Arwen felt like they had lost half of their selves and Eldarion was saying good bye to all the boys, Faramir in particular.

"Elanor, I want to see you sometime in Minas Tirith, alright?" Ariwen spoke her words of parting.

"I'll come sometime, when Papa has a mind to visit your father again" Elanor did the same.

The company was leaving. Ariwen jumped on her horse, "Namarie, mellon nin"

"Namarie, mellon, namarie"

With that the company rode off and left the Hobbits staring after them until they were out of sight.
*Namarie, mellon nin: Farewell, my friend

*Namarie, mellon, namarie: Farewell, friend, farewell
