***It's a rather short chapter but I didn't have time for a long one.....so you'll just have to make do...***

MEANWHILE SOMEWHERE OUT IN NOWHERE----while Legolas looks longingly out the window for his....erm....*love*

"Aragorn I'm tired, can we please sit down?" Frodo whined for the millionth time. Aragorn gritted his teeth and turned around quickly to keep from beating the shit out of the annoying bastard.

"If I told you once Frodo I told you a hundred times. We are NOT stopping. I want to get to Mirkwood as fast as possible so it remains a surprise for Legolas, otherwise someone might see us and tell him. Do you understand?" he asked angrily. Frodo sighed, and continued trekking on without answering. Aragorn took this for a yes and kept walking. He couldn't wait to see Legolas again, it had been to long, and he missed him like crazy. It was going to be great.

"Aragorn...." Frodo began again. Aragorn forgot all pretence of trying to be nice to Frodo and whipped around.

"If you speak one more time Fatty, I'm going to gouge your eyes out.......Get it?" Aragorn threatened. Frodo nodded meekly and continued the rest of the way quietly, only stopping to comment on the spot that Aragorn chose to camp that night.

"It's very.......homey." Frodo said weakly, looking around at the cold and cruel looking cave that Aragorn had brought him to.

"It's not *homey*....it's practical, and no amount of bitching from you is going to keep us from staying here." Aragorn said, and promptly fell to the floor in exhaustion.

"But I never-"

"Shut up Fatty." Aragorn growled, and then proceeded to fall asleep, and dream sweet dreams about his blonde haired love, who was so near, yet so far.

***Stupid angst, it's just beginning to fade.......hmm....I wonder what Melda will do. Maybe Frodo and her can......well anyways that's my job.....YOUR job is to review.....and so far no one is!!!!!!!!!!! Please review....and I promise to put new chapters up as fast as I can..***
