A/N: Thanks for the reviews! Well, here I am again, and I promise, this fic
will be half as short as my first fic. Okay, so here's where it gets funny.
I don't own anyone except for Niliwen-everybody and everything else belongs
to Tolkien!
Starting out ungracefully
After having slept late last night, I ended up waking up a lot later than I wished to-and only because I heard some knocks on my bedroom door. When I eventually opened my door, I saw Lady Eowyn looking quite cross from having to wake me up. "Good morning, my lady. What time is it?" I asked drowsily. "It's about eleven o' clock in the morning. Come on, get some breakfast. It's going to be a long day," she said. I instantly regained full consciousness when I heard her mention the hour of the day. "Oh by the Valar.what do we have to do today?" I asked. "There's a meeting at court in two hours, but I think that you'll probably have to help Beregond out with some matters concerning this place. I'll go ask Faramir what's really going to happen today," Lady Eowyn replied. "Alright, so I'll be on my way to get some food, my lady" I said courteously. "Please, we're just at home. Call me Eowyn" Lady Eowyn said to me before I hurried off to the kitchen.
About an hour later (according to Faramir and Eowyn, it was an hour, but I still insist that I only took thirty minutes to eat) I finally got out of the house and met up with Beregond and Bergil at one of the many crossroads in this side of Ithilien. (it's going to take me a lifetime to get used to these people) After a slight argument with Beregond on my punctuality, we finally followed Faramir and Eowyn down to Minas Tirith.
Needless to say, I got into some trouble just on my first morning of work alone. No wonder why sometimes Ioreth used to doubt my sanity when I still lived with her. Okay, first mistake number one was really losing my way in the city-to the point that I ended up halfway out on the Pelennor Fields, and Bergil had to find me. Then there was that little incident involving Faramir's papers, and my way of filing things. Well, the result was that I had to arrange the papers again and I nearly lost one important paper. It's really beyond me how he can manage to keep his office in order. By this point, the only two people who had patience with me were Eowyn and Bergil.
But the one I still can't quite live down happened around mid-afternoon of the same day. I'd finally managed to apologize to everyone and I was allowed to take some time off and go out. So I was passing by a fruit stand and I was thinking of buying some fruit to appease my hunger. So I dug around in my pocket for some change and a coin fell out of my hand. Naturally, I bent down to get my money, and some cart hit me from behind. Well, I came flying through the air and I crashed right into the fruit stand! Apples were everywhere as the stall owner, the cart driver and I tried to get up from the sticky mess of mushed apples and juice. Needless to say, the King Elessar came upon the scene, and there were queries everywhere on what really happened. Then the people I did not want to meet (Faramir, Eowyn, Beregond and Bergil) also arrived, and I was hard-put explaining what really happened. (the cart driver swears that I stood in his way, the apple-stall owner doesn't really know what happened-he was drunk). Anyway, they believed me after a few by-standers gave their version of the incident, and I was able to return to Emyn Arnen, smelling like an apple and attracting flies.
After a long bath to get cleaned up, I went down for supper, and I was really praying that none of my two friends would mention the incident at all. It's bad enough being the talk of the town for about the next two days. Well, I believe that the past few weeks are earning all of us a lot of publicity; starting with Faramir and Eowyn's wedding and ending with today's mishap. After eating and helping out a bit with chores and all, I was only too glad to retreat to my room and sleep.
A/N: Gosh, she's such a klutz, isn't she? Hehe, sometimes people really do doubt my sanity but I haven't experienced anything like Niliwen's accident. not yet that is. Send a review please!
