Disclaimer: I do not own it. I know better than to claim I do. Last time I
claimed I owned Lord of the Rings, I was sued. So now I own negative stuff.
Waaah!!
And to my dear reviewers:
Lou: I am so glad to have made some one happy. Eowyn has a small role in this chapter, but oh boy I have plans for a few later ones. . .
Leggy Stinks: Then again, who would want to sniff an Elf? Ew. . .I most surely will not tell you what happens! You shall simply have to read and find out, of course! Why would I ruin the story? And exclamation points are fun, there is no such thing as too many.
Faithful Beyond Fear: Well, I decided to skew the story a bit because I am having so much fun. Okay, I skewed it a lot. But it is funny! If making people laugh is a crime? Lock me up. Anyway, just pretend it is accurate.
Trintula: Sharp, pointy objects, eh? Like, for example. . .a paper clip?? An origami sword?? Sorry to disappoint, but I think you make sense. Oh, is this soon enough or ought I craft an origami shield?
Dragonlet: Thank you for the translations, I was so confused! So I skewed the ages. It's just meant to be humor, okay? Laugh a bit, people!
Duck Sorceress: More is never a question. Updating is just so fun!
Cleo-Chan: Well, I thought of her a very funny sort of lady. In the movie, she was a little frightening, but in this she is not quite so scary. Oh, and will keep writing. . .**makes mental note**
Ewen: I pity the demons. Glad you like my story, thanks for reviewing!
Smeagol: Ah, but the twins do not yet know. And I think of Galadriel as a funny sort of lady, as I stated earlier.
Mirkwood Princess Melnoleiel: Well, Aragorn is about thirteen. I stated in the first chapter that Arwen had left eleven years before, and that was when Aragorn, age two, was brought to Rivendell. I already saw the Two Towers--I got to see it early! Ha ha ha ha ha!!
Dream Catcher: Actually, yes, I am assigned to a seat near Matt in History and I usually sit near him in homeroom. You know, we have a little cluster of IHP kids--me, Lili, Jacob, Matt, Michael. I would never be mean to you, dear Maiden of Shields.
Snake Eyez: Aragorn is Estel, don't you know, so he is already in it! And yeah, sure, I'll tell you when I update.
Haloration: Um. . .okay.
Oh, and this chapter is not exactly my best work, but. . .hopefully a few of you readers will smile.

"Welcome to Rivendell, Eowyn of Rohan."
The girl rolled her blue eyes. Show was of average height, but imposing and made the most of her thirteen and a half years, and pale complexion, with unruly blonde hair. Her sun-burned face had a look of sarcastic nonchalance. "Thank you, Lord Elrond. But you know I hardly chose to come. Theoden just wants me away from all the action."
"I think he wants to keep you safe," Elrond corrected.
"Yeah? And what's action? Danger. So it's really the same thing. But thanks for being polite and everything. Is Estel about here anywhere? All I heard was that there would be a kid my age called Estel, so I'd like to meet him." She spluttered all this out, hardly pausing at all. It was clear that Eowyn was a person of conviction and noteworthy intelligence.
*****
"Legolas!" Arwen exclaimed, catching sight of him as she pulled away from Estel. Legolas sidled up to her. "All right, listen. You saw me kissing Estel. But you cannot tell my brothers, or Galadriel, or my father."
"That's no fun! Now I only get to tell Glorfindel!" Legolas whined. He immediately saw his mistake.
"Tell no one," Arwen amended.
"Aw, but Arwen--"
"No one, got it?" She asked, waving her fist menacingly. Legolas gulped and nodded. Arwen continued in a sugar-sweet voice, "Then we have an arrangement! Ta-ta!" and with that, she flounced off, leaving two staring boys.
*****
"Estel, this is Eowyn, the Lady of Rohan," Elrond said cordially. The two shook hands. Estel noticed that with all her calluses and thundering steps, and pants instead of dresses, she hardly acted like a lady. He said so. "Estel!" exclaimed Elrond.
"It's all right, Lord Elrond," Eowyn said with a smirk. "After all, Estel is more of a lady than I am." This left Estel flabbergasted, as well as Elrond.
"That's hardly difficult," Estel said. Eowyn burst out laughing. "Oh shush up, you hooker." Eowyn stared angrily at him. "What are you going to do, slap me?"
"No, Estel. A lady might slap you. But this is what a shield maiden does." With those words she drew back a fist and rammed it into Estel's stomach. He fell onto the floor, clutching his intestine. Eowyn smirked.
****
Despite their rough meeting, Eowyn attached herself to Estel, and that is hardly a surprise. If she did not spend time with him, Legolas, and the twins, she would have to spend the time either with Arwen, a true-blue LADY, or with Elrond and Galadriel. So, the decision was natural.
"Eowyn, go away," Estel whined.
"Why should I listen to you?" She asked.
"You see, that's just it," Elladan said. "He knows you won't listen to what he says."
"Estel and Eowyn, sittin' in a tree, k-I-s-s--I-n-g," Legolas sang sweetly.
"You have such a nice voice!" Exclaimed Eowyn. In the same tone of compliment she said, "It would be such a shame if I ripped out your vocal chords!"
"Eowyn, while we enjoy the pleasure of your company, we four are heading into the woods to do some very masculine things. Things girls can't do," Elrohir said. Eowyn giggled.
"Actually, Elrohir, girls can do that, too!" Eowyn informed him, then walked off. She kicked pine cones as hard as she could, shattering them against trees. The boys glanced at each other, sickened. Only Estel was left confused by Eowyn's comment.
*****
Arwen was walking along singing when suddenly--WHAM! A pine cone hit her, hard, on the head. Now, we all know that a thing has as much velocity at the same point coming down as it did going up, even those of us who got a thirty-one per cent on the Physics final, and Eowyn packed a strong kick. So when this pine cone hit Arwen on the head, she suddenly thought some very odd things.
"I love Estel so much! Why, I would give up my immortality for him!" she exclaimed.
*****
The boys were discussing Eowyn. "I can not believe that she wanted to do such a guy-like thing!" Estel exclaimed.
"I know! Girls have no place at picnics!" Legolas said in concurrance, sitting down on their picnic blanket. The blanket was hot pink with pictures of horses on it. "Especially not with such masculine picnic blankets!"
"Yes, wonderful embroidery, Elrohir."
"Why thank you, Elladan."
"Say, it looks like rain," said Estel.
"It's going to rain. I can smell it," Legolas said. Estel sniffed.
"I only smell skunk," said Estel.
"Well, stop sniffing your armpit!"
Before Estel could think of a good come-back, it started to rain. The boys shriek in high-pitched voices, then gathered up their things and ran back to Rivendell. They all fell into a heap on the floor. Legolas picked himself up. "Well, I'm going to go take a shower," he commented, wringing water from his hair.
"But," Estel said, confused, "You've just had one."
"Nasty little chicken," Elladan said, shoving Estel off his stomach and standing. "Well, that's some rain storm. It ought to be going on for a while."
