A\N: Here I am again! Hope you enjoy this chapter! Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing!-Becky Greenleaf

OH and I'm so sorry I didn't leave the translation in Chapter 16. Lye hiraetha-we're sorry.

And now the moment you've all been waiting for. CHAPTER 17: THE MIRROR OF GALADRIEL IS DEDICATED TO LILY OF THE SHADOW. Three reviews from you! Woo- hoo!

WARNING: Contains spoilers from The Return of The King book.

This is part movieverse and part bookverse. I have had to change up the bookverse a bit as I wanted it as much movieverse as possible and Sam isn't viewing the mirror with Frodo.

Oh and I know Lurtz has an accent in there somewhere. Could somebody please be so kind as to tell me where? (I'm always lost when it came to accents.)

Chapter 17: The Mirror of Galadriel

DAYS AFTER THE HUGE 'CELEBRATION' IN LOTHLÓRIEN.

The Fellowship was in their resting place and the air was filled with the song of fair Elven voices.

Legolas stopped for a moment to listen to them, a water jug in one hand and wearing this cute little blue-silver pajama looking garments.

"A lament for Gandalf," he said.

"Oh you look so cute in your little blue silk pajamas!" Becky shrieked and she and Missy giggled hysterically.

"What do they say about him?" Merry asked, ignoring the cousins.

"I have not the heart to tell you," Legolas said. "For me the grief is still too near."

"MY SWEET!" Becky dove at him and hugged him tightly. "I can't bear to see the look of sorrow upon your fair lovely Elven features. Come! Let's walk!"

"I don't want to walk anywhere with you," Legolas said, gearing up to run for his life.

"You don't mean that," Becky said and then beckoned to her cousin. "Come on Missy. Let's go for a walk with Leggy."

"Ooh and Haldir!" Missy said, grabbing Haldir who was innocently just walking by.

Legolas and Haldir got shoved in the middle to be prevented from running away. The cousins grabbed their hands and dragged the two Elves off for a nice long walk.

The 'walk' led them to be dragged behind several statues on the other side of the resting area to spy on Aragorn and Boromir, who were talking.

"Take some rest. These borders are well protected," Aragorn said.

"Why are we here?" Haldir asked but Becky clamped a hand over his mouth.

"SHH!" Becky said rather loudly. "HOT RANGER DUDE IS A HOT RANGER DUDE. HE CAN HEAR US!"

"Yes I can hear you. Rather loudly in fact," Aragorn said impatiently. "Now if you don't mind, I would like to get back to this 'heartfelt' conversation in which I am supposed to look, according to Missy, gorgeous and sympathetic!"

"Go ahead darling," Missy said, making a continue motion with her hands.

"I think he meant for you to leave," Boromir pointed out.

"I'm not GOING ANYWHERE," Becky pouted but slunk further behind the statues till she could no longer be seen. "Better?"

"It shall have to do," Aragorn sighed. "The rest of you move further back please."

Legolas, Haldir and Missy shuffled back further behind the statues.

"I will find no rest here. I heard her voice inside my head. She spoke of my father and the fall of Gondor. She said to me, 'Even now there is hope left.' But I cannot see it. It is long since we had any hope," Boromir said as Aragorn sat next to him.

"DENETHOR IS A LOONY OLD MAN!" Becky hollered from the bushes. "HOW IN THE WORLD COULD HE TRY TO KILL FARAMIR?!!!" Missy had clamped a hand over Becky's mouth to keep her quiet, a little too late.

"WHAT?!" Boromir leapt to his feet, a horrified look on his face.

"Good Elbereth," Aragorn buried his face in his hands. "When will she ever learn to SHUT UP?"

"Er, nothing Boromir dear," Becky said, clapping a hand over her mouth.

"My father is a noble man, but his rule is failing. And then our... our people lose faith. He looks to me to make things right, and I, I would do it. I would see the glory of Gondor restored. Have you ever seen it, Aragorn? The white tower of Ecthelion. Glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver. Its banners caught high in the morning breeze. Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets?" Boromir asked.

"I have seen the White City. Long ago," Aragorn said.

"You know it's a really funny story. Do you know that another one of Aragorn's names is-" this time Legolas had clamped his hand over her mouth. Becky screamed into his palm and half-fainted.

Aragorn shot her a dangerous look but Becky just giggled into Legolas' hand.

"One day, our paths will lead us there. And the tower guard shall take up the call that the Lords of Gondor have returned," Boromir said and Aragorn just nodded.

"I THINK THAT WAS A PEACE OFFERING RIGHT IN YOUR UNWASHED FACE YOU SILLY RANGER DUDE!" Becky hollered.

"That's it!" Aragorn yelled. "You better run!" Aragorn dove after her.

"AHHHH!" Becky shrieked. "Aragorn is trying to kill me!" She ducked behind Legolas, Haldir and Missy.

"Aragorn!" Missy called and threw a Milky Way bar at him. "FETCH!"

Aragorn grabbed the Milky Way bar and tore into it.

"Hey! Why's he the only one that gets candy?" Boromir asked and with that he grabbed the rest of the Milky Way bar and took off giggling.

"YOU GONDORIAN THEIF!" Aragorn howled and chased after him.

"MWAHHAHAHHA!" Becky giggled maniacally and then jumped. "OMYGOSH! We have to go see Frodo and Galadriel now!"

"Huh?" Legolas and Haldir looked at her oddly.

"Never mind," Missy said and the cousins began tugging them along.

On their way back to the other side of the resting area they suddenly saw the Lady Galadriel beckoning to Frodo from among the trees.

"What the heck is she doing?" Missy asked, looking relatively lost.

Becky knocked her cousin on the back of her head with her hand. "Think back to the movie, sensible!"

Turning aside, she led them toward the southern slopes of the hill of Caras Galadhon, and passing through a high green hedge they came into an enclosed garden. No trees grew there, and it lay open to the sky. The evening star had risen and was shining with white fire above the western woods. Down a long flight of steps the Lady went into the deep green hollow, through which ran murmuring the silver stream that issued from the fountain on the hill. At the bottom, upon a low pedestal carved like a branching tree, stood a basin of silver, wide and shallow, and beside it stood a silver ewer.

Galadriel went to the fountain and began to fill the ewer with water.

Becky, Legolas, Haldir and Missy scattered down the stairs at lightning speed and dashed behind several statues before Galadriel turned around.

"Will you look into the mirror?" Galadriel asked Frodo who had come down the stairs behind her.

"Oh no!" Becky said. "I'm fine. I brushed my hair only an hour ago. I don't think it's messed up. Yet."

"Shh!" Haldir clapped a hand over her mouth.

"That's a mirror?" Missy asked, incredulously. "I thought that was a birdbath!"

The little hen from earlier, appeared and perched itself on the edge of the birdbath, eh mirror and began to drink.

"Hey! Shoo!" Galadriel made shooing motions to the chicken with her hands. "Stop drinking my magic water!"

"Like Blue Magic Kool-Aid?" Becky asked. "The one that's blue but really tastes like cherry?"

"It doesn't taste like cherry!" Missy said. "It tastes like what blue stuff tastes like. And I thought no one was supposed to touch the water!"

"I think that's Galadriel's private supply of bath water," Haldir suggested.

"I wanna taste some blue stuff!" Legolas whined, sounding very much like Becky.

"Here you go. Have blue gum," Becky tossed a pack of blueberry-centered gum at Legolas and Haldir and they began fighting for it.

"What will I see?" Frodo asked, pointedly ignoring the two Elves and two girls.

"Even the wisest cannot tell," Galadriel said. "For the mirror shows many things."

She gave the Evil eye to the hen who hopped off the edge and went to the safety of Becky's ankles, clucking in fear. "That's better."

She began emptying the jug into the bird, em, mirror. "Things that were, things that are, and some things that have not yet come to pass."

She finished pouring the water and stepped back.

Frodo came forward and peered into the mirror. What he saw made him gasp.

"Oh so you now realized there was a little bit of dirt on your face," Becky commented.

"Do I have dirt on my face?" Legolas and Haldir asked simultaneously.

"No, no," Becky said, grinning and hugging them both. "You look absolutely yummiful."

Finally Frodo falls backward on the ground, clutching the Ring at his neck. The water in the mirror is steaming.

"I know what it was is you saw. For it is also in my mind," Galadriel said out loud. And then in Frodo's head she said, "It is what will come to pass if you should fail. The Fellowship is breaking. It has already begun. He will try to take the Ring. You know of whom I speak. One by one it will destroy them all."

"It's gonna destroy someone?" Legolas asked loudly.

"Who's it gonna destroy?" Haldir asked.

"No one told me it was supposed to destroy someone!" that was Missy.

"Ooh! I'm not the only special one! YAY!" Becky cheered. "You all heard her."

"Actually you were saying her lines all by yourself," Missy said.

"Oh," Becky pouted. "But hey I'm the only special one! Woo-hoo!"

"If you ask it of me, I will give you the One Ring," Frodo said.

"What the fuzzy does she want another ring for?" Becky asked. "She already has Nenya. She has no need for any more."

"Shh, child!" Galadriel said, turning round and motioning for Becky to be quiet. And then she turned back to Frodo; "You offer it to me freely. I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this."

She began walking to Frodo with her hand outstretched. "In the place of a Dark Lord, you would have a QUEEN!"

She began to give off an odd blue glow. "NOT DARK, BUT BEAUTIFUL AND TERRIBLE AS THE DAWN! TREACHEROUS AS THE SEA! STRONGER THAN THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH! ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR!"

Suddenly she was normal again and breathing heavily. "I pass the test. I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel."

"Eh what test?" Missy asked. "Was it like a History test? Or a Geography test?"

"You were gonna change your name?" Becky asked at the same time.

"West?" Haldir and Legolas said at the same time.

"I cannot do this alone," Frodo said.

"Oh don't worry sweetie," Becky said. "You don't have to do it alone. S-"

This time the chicken pecked her on her foot for her to be quiet.

"You are a Ring-bearer, Frodo. To bear a Ring of Power is to be alone. This task was appointed to you. And if you do not find a way, no one will," Galadriel said solemnly.

"Then I know what I must do. It's just, I'm afraid to do it," Frodo replied, pointedly ignoring Becky.

"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future," Galadriel said.

"And you sure are small," Becky commented helpfully.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ORTHANC

"Do you know how the Orcs first came into being?" Saruman asked.

"Em, well first the Daddy Orc asks the Mummy Orc out on a date," Lurtz said. "And then they went on many other dates. And then Daddy Orc asked Mummy Orc to marry him and Mummy Orc did and I can't say the rest because this is PG. Let's just say she had many Baby Orcs and those Baby Orcs in turn had more Baby Orcs and then-"

"SILENCE!" Saruman said. "I'll just tell you then. They were Elves once. Taken by the Dark Powers, tortured, and mutilated. A ruined, and terrible form of life. And now, perfected. My fighting Uruk-hai. Whom do you serve?

"Becky and Missy!" Lurtz replied.

"No, no, no! You're supposed to say Saruman," the wizard said. "Now repeat after me: Saruman."

"Now repeat after me: Saruman," Lurtz said obediently.

"No you idiot!" Saruman said, exasperated. "SARUMAN."

"SARUMAN," Lurtz repeated.

"Good," Saruman said and stalked off, mumbling something about defective Uruk-hai.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Orcs and the Uruk-hai are preparing for battle, putting on armor and gathering weapons.

"Hunt them down! Do not stop until they are found. You do not know pain, you do not know fear. You will taste man flesh!" Saruman said.

"And some dirty man flesh at that," Random Uruk-hai Forty-Eight said to his friend, Random Uruk-hai Two Hundred. "I hear there's one particularly greasy one among them."

"I heard he hasn't bathed since 2980 of the Third Age," Random Uruk-hai Two Hundred replied. "That's just disgusting!"

"One of the Halflings carries something of great value. Bring them to me alive and unspoilt. Kill the others," Saruman said to Lurtz.

"You have got to be joking," Becky said, suddenly appearing with Missy close behind.

"Yeah. You can't kill my Aragorn!" Missy said.

"And if you touch that gorgeous Elf. Grrr," Becky said.

"Oops!" Missy said. "I think we gotta go now! Bye!" She disappeared.

"STAY AWAY FROM MY ELF!" was the last thing they heard before Becky disappeared too.
