Chapter 11
Disclaimer: bah.
This chapter goes movie verse. Well, we shifted the scene forward one day, tho.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The girls, after being dismissed, decided to hold a conference of their on out in a pavillion a fair distance away from the main building. It was a nice, peaceful place, surrounded by forest, with a small branch of the Bruinen flowing by. There was the smell of wild roses, honeysuckle, and lavender in the heavy night air. Somewhere in the woods, a bird called. All around was the faint, inescessant chirping of cicadas.
Polinn and Shuwen set the lanterns they were carrying on the ornately carved stone table in the center of the pavillion. The others settled on the chairs or on the thick railings.
"Wonderful." Silei sighed. "I just hate responsibility."
"Challenge the evil nine. Huh, we'd most probably end up as mincemeat."
"We'd need horses if we're going to outrun them."
"I guess that's why Sara and Diana are here."
"Yeah. To train the most hopeless lot of riders there ever was. The Valar will soon regret their choice."
"I don't get it. What Middle Earth needed talents do we have anyway?"
"Apart from elf-annoying...."
Sara let out a soft cry as she spotted who had just passed through the trees nearby.
"Look!"
"Come on. I think some fun is in order before we end the night."

Aragorn and Arwen, having sneaked off, strode slowly through the moonlit forest hand in hand. They were making for a quiet little pool sprung from a stream that issued from the Bruinen. It was set in one of Rivendell's less crowded, less well-known places, so they were quite sure they would be granted some privacy.
Mist arose from the pool's surface that was covered with water lilies. There was a primitive stone slab bridge across the water. Pushing aside the weeping willow strands that seemed to form a circular curtain around the place, Aragorn led his love out onto the bridge.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The girls peered through the trees.
"Aww...... Lookie! Two star crossed lovers having some quiet time to pledge their love....." Shuwen sniggered.
"Would you *giggle* just *snort* listen to *snigger* what they're saying?!"
Polinn, who knew Elvish, caught their words and translated for her friends.
".....Renech I lu I erui govennen?......"
"Do you remember when we first met?"
"Aw. Sweet memories."
"......Nauthannen I ned ol reniannen......"
"I *snort* thought I had strayed into a dream."
"We're having nightmares."
"......Gwenin in enninath. U-arnech in naeth I si celich......"
"Long years have passed. You do not have the cares you carry now."
"Duh. Living thing can *change*! See? I learned my science!"
".......Renech I beth I pennen?......"
"Do you remember what I told you? Who doesn't? You announced it for the whole world to know."
"Ewww! Don't look!"
Aragorn ran his fingers over the pendant on Arwen's neck. The girls fake- vommited into the bushes.
".....You said you'd bind yourself to me. Forsaking the immortal life of your people....."
"......And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone......."
The girls, suppressing laughing fits, mouthed the next few words along with them.
"......I. Choose. A. Mortal. Life......"
"....You cannot give me this!......."
More sniggers and giggles.
"........It is mine to give to who I will........Like my heart......"
"Uh-oh."
Then the girls cringed and turned away as the looog, looong kiss came.
"Uhh....."
"Aragorn an' Arwen, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I----"
Diana had to duck a swipe from Shuwen.
Sara grinned.
"Blackmail, anyone?"
There was a mini stampede as they rushed back to their rooms, leaving the lanterns behind on the table. Who cared?
