*~*~*~Chapter 4: I dunno!~*~*~*

Legolas had never been himself since Serenity had left. He was never quite as happy or cheerful. It had been so long since he had seen her he almost forgot what she looked like (tut tut!). He wanted to see her again. He needed to see her again.

"Serenity, please come back soon" He murmured.

*~*~*~Serenity~*~*~*

It had been months after she had met Gandalf and at that moment she was travelling with him. As she was she was expecting someone to 'ambush' them. And as it happened, she was right.

"Gandalf, prepare to meet a new friend" she told him, slightly confusing the wizard. "Three, two, one" As she said 'one' a man with black appeared from the trees.

"Hello Aragorn" She said, confusing both of them.

"You know this man?" Gandalf asked her.

"Not entirely but I know who his parents are, who his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather is, and who his soul mate is."

"And that is?"

"Isildur" She said, grinning.

"Okay, first things first," Aragorn began to speak. "How do you know about me?"

"I have been to Rivendell so many times, yet you never noticed me, Estel." She answered.

"Fine, secondly, who are you?"

"I am Serenity, daughter of… and this is Gandalf the Grey."

"Daughter of who?"

"I never knew who my farther is."

"What of your mother?"

"Why do you wish to know?" She asked Aragorn, curious as to why he wanted to know.

"Well, you seem to know all about me, so I decided to even things out a little."

She sighed. "Serenity" She said softly.

"Now Aragorn son of Arathorn" He began "It is Arathorn isn't it?" he asked Serenity. She nodded. "Yes, I have some errands…"

*** (About 3017, 3rd age)

"Now, remind me again why I let you drag me into this?" Serenity asked Aragorn as they trampled through the Dead Marshes.

"I didn't, you said you were in need of a hunt, and then I told you where I was going, and you came with me. Why do you blame me anyway?"

"Men!" She said. "They'll never learn how a woman's mind works!" Aragorn smiled

"Shh, there's something over there" she said, pointing straight a head.

"Do you know what it is?" he asked

"I'm not sure, it looks kind of slimy, a greyish colour. It's mumbling something… 'My precious, he stole it from us but we'll getst him. Cheated he did, what is in my pocket…' I'm not really sure."

"That's Gollum, and what we're looking for. Can you confuse him?"

"How?"

"You can speak telepathically, right?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Confuse him. Make him think… I don't know something"

"I know!" {I have your precious! Come and get it!}

"Whose there? Give it backs, give it backs! It's mine I foundsed it!"

{Come and get it!}

"Coming precious!!!"

"Aragorn, he's coming now, whatever you were planing, its time to do it!"

"Do you have the net?"

"Yes!"

"Good, when he comes, throw the net on him."

{Over here!}

"Wheres precious?"

"HERE!" She said as she threw the net on top of him

"Yous tricked us! You liesd! You'lls pay!"

"Am I good, or am I good?"

Aragorn ignored what she said. Gollum continued cursing. " We need to get him to Thanduil. Do you have rope?"

"Only the best there is!" She said, handing him a bundle of elven rope. Aragorn used it to tie Gollum up.

"AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! It burns! It burns!"

"Smeagol-"

"Why do you call him Smeagol?"

"Something I know. Smeagol, I'm sorry, but we have to do this. If you promise to do as we say-"

"Never!!! Never shall it trust lyersd!"

"Your loss, not ours. Actually we do have to put up with all your carrying on… So, where did we have to meet Thranduil?"

"In Mirkwood, of course."

^^^^^^^^^^

Images of Serenity's time in Mirkwood came flashing back. All of her arrival, her nightmare, of when Legolas got a drink, the archery, seeing her mothers death, healing and a lot more, all flashing in her memory

"Serenity, come back!" she could here Legolas say "Serenity! Serenity!"

^^^^^^^^^^

"Serenity? Serenity?" Aragorn asked after Serenity suddenly went blank. He put his hand on her shoulder and lightly shook her. She closed her eyes tight and then opened them, as if coming out of a trance.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened."

"Are you sure? You don't seem as happy" (yes, Gollum is still ranting on. "It burns! It burns!")

"Positive."

"As I was saying, we have to go to Mirkwood."

"No! I'm not coming with you!"

"Why not?" (It Burns! It burns!!! ::throws hard rock at Gollum:: Author: Shut ya yap!)

"It's just… something happened there a long time ago"

"Are you going to tell me?"

"No, its something I don't wish to talk about it"

"If that is what you wish, I will abide to it."

"Good. I will come with you, but not enter Mirkwood; I will wait outside."

"Well first we have to get there. Do you remember where you left your horse?"

"North-west of here"

(I dunno, an hour, two, maybe three later aka, when they reach Mirkwood.)

Serenity stopped at the edge of Mirkwood. (Mhm, still lots of 'it burns!" coming from Gollum)

"I'm not gong any further, the rest is all yours from here, including the credit," She said, making "including the credit" sound sarchastic.

"Are you sure?" he asked her.

"Believe me I'm positive!"

"Are you going to be okay?"

"Aragorn! You should know better, after all i've been travelling with you for then past something-or-other years! You should know I'm not a mere woman! I can speak most languages, can wield most weapons and can definitely fight!"

'And can yell' he thought.

"Ah, you forget I can read those who are close to me's mind!" (close as in friends or something similar, not close as in physically)

"And since when am I close to you?"

"Since you saved my life, hmm, something-or-other times"

"Once."

"Only once? When?"

"I can't remember…"

"Ha! Aragorn, you haven't yet but you will, very soon"

"And you know this… how?"

"You better go now, Thranduil is waiting and I'm sick and tired of Gollum ranting on! 'It burns it burns!' SHUT UP!"(Finally) Gollum stopped ranting. He and Aragorn looked at her quite scared. Serenity had never been so annoyed in her life.

"You going?"

"Yes." He said riding on into the woods. Serenity waited until he was out of sight, when he was she jumped up into a tree (levitating, really) and jumped from treetop to treetop after him.

Hey! I know that took me a while but hey I can't help that! :'( Tell all your friends about this fic and make them read it! Please :( ::makes sad puppy eyes:: 1221 words!
