You only live once

Disclaimer: I own the calendar (this year and last year), Legolas posters, the extended DVD, the music cds and lots more. I don't own any of the characters apart from Gemmell and Taliesin. Thanks KitKatGirl. Summary: This is an AU. It starts before the fellowship. Way before. This is also an A/L probably leading to a Mpreg as this is inspired by the greats.

Thank to my beta reader Shourtsnout.

Please read and review. Flame will be ignored you have been warned. They are also quite funny.

If you don't like you can always hit the back button.

If you don't like the pairing you can go and find a nice Mary-sue to read.

'Elvish'

/thoughts/

If anyone has any funny disclaimers I would love to read and use them as it gets rather boring reading the same thing.

Ok I lied there will be no wedding this chapter. There might be one next chapter.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. We have be doing our GCSEs and I still have a week to go so don't expect anything before next Tuesday.

On with the story.

Chapter 5

Time leap 4 days to the engagement party

It had been four days since the official announcement that the heir of Gondor and the Golden Prince of Greenwood were going to marry. It was also the day of the engagement party.

Legolas' grandparents had arrived safely and the royal family were very relived.

Legolas and Aragorn had been spending a lot of time together in the gardens, walking, talking and kissing. They had got to know each other quite well and were growing deeper in love with each passing day.

'Gemmell! Taliesin!' Yelled Legolas.

The yell could be heard echoing around the palace.

Legolas was standing in his dressing room with clothes scattered all around the room.

His two brothers came in running.

'What's the matter?' inquired Gemmell a bit out of breath, for he had ran from his room on the other side of the palace.

'I have nothing to wear to the engagement party tonight!!!'

'Is that all?' sighed Taliesin who was now leaning up against the doorframe.

'Is that all? Is that all?!' Yelled Legolas again.

'Ok. Ok calm down' Taliesin said.

'Lets see what we can so. Huh?' Gemmell said calmly.

For about an hour the brothers tried to find something suitable for Legolas to wear. Eventually they came up with light blue leggings and a creamy shirt, which had, leafs embroidered on the sleeves, around the neck and on the hem. They then went about sorting Legolas' hair. Taliesin brushed and braided it and Gemmell put little blue and white flowers in it, which he had found in the garden whilst Legolas was getting dressed.

After they were finished they left to get themselves ready.

Legolas made his way to his father's room. When he got there he knocked on the door and went in. He saw his father waiting for him and gave him a smile.

Thranduil went up and gave his youngest son a hug and said

'You look so much like your mother. You do know that?'

'Yes. As you tell me all the time.' Legolas laughed.

'No seriously. You do. You are as beautiful as she was if not more. It breaks my heart that you will be leaving soon. Thranduil said through a few tears.

All Legolas could do was hug his father again.

'Father!' Yelled Aragorn as he paced around his room.

'Yes?' Elrond asked as he poked his head round the door.

'Can we go. I can't wait to see him.'

Elrond smiled at his foster son and nodded.

'Did I tell you that Arwen (A/N Booooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) is going to be here tonight?'

Aragorn shock his head as they walked out of the door.

Father and son walked down the corridor and met up with the twins and Legolas' brothers.

'Where is Legolas?' Asked Aragorn.

'He is already in the hall. Come on. We are going to be late.' Replied Taliesin.

When Aragorn entered the great hall he didn't notice the decorations. All he saw was his beautiful golden prince standing next to his father on the dais. He gasped as he saw his love. It was as if time stood still as Legolas met his eyes and smiled. That smile made Aragorn feel warm in side and weak at the knees.

/He really is the most beautiful creature in the whole of Middle Earth/ Aragorn thought to himself.

A hush went through the gathered crowd of elves and men as Aragorn stepped up the Legolas. Legolas extended his hand for Aragorn to hold.

Legolas thought Aragorn looked extremely handsome in his black leggings and dark blue tunic. The outfit hugged his body showing off all his muscles. Aragorn pulled Legolas towards him and kissed him with much delight from the crowd. The crowd was cheering and the family of the couple were smiling, all expect one, whose eyes were burning with anger.

When the couple pulled apart breathless the music began. Elrond beckoned for the couple to join him. Besides him stood a she-elf.

'This is my daughter, Arwen.'

'Tis a pleasure,' 'This is an honour' both Legolas and Aragorn said at the same time. They looked up at each other and smiled, love shinning in their eyes.

/Excuse me. I am the most beautiful creature in all of Middle Earth and I am standing right here, waiting for attention. I am the evenstar/ Arwen thought to herself tapping her foot as she watched the couple move of and begin the dance. Everyone seemed to be ignoring her and it wasn't fair!

By the end of the evening Arwen was seething. She had tried to get Aragorn by himself several times and each time she failed (A/N Ha Ha poor Arwen NOT! By now you should see that I don't like Arwen one bit!)

As the couple kissed each other good night, she thought about what she had planed for them in the coming months. With one last look at the couple she walked off to her chambers to plan some more so everything would be perfect.

To be continued..

Next chapter will be the wedding!

I just need a few more ideas.

Thanks again to my beta reader the all mighty Shortsnout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(All hail the almightly shortsnout Hear me roar!)

Ok, Ok I know in this chapter Arwen has just been mentioned by her father. Lets just say that she was there all the time only Aragorn hadn't met her as A) she came from Lothlorien and B) Aragorn was too involved with Legolas Yay!!!

Read and Review please

I will write more soon. XX
