A/N two chapters in one day...aren't you special! Partly to make up for that few days that you got NO chapters, and partly because that last chapter was MEGA short.

A few days later.... Late afternoon in Rivendell. Legolas and Aurora haven't seen each other since their riding experience. Why is this? I leave you to guess.

"Au-roooooora!" Someone called from far behind me. I was dangling my feet over a riverbank. "Where are you?"

"Here." I called half-heartedly.

Valiane came puffing into view.

My wedding was starting in....exactly eight days. Tomorrow we left for Mirkwood. Ick. The only person I know who was going with me was (besides Legolas, who I hadn't talked to for several days.) Valiane. I think that she was the only one really happy about my marriage.

"Unhappy, Aurora?" She said, settling next to me with some difficulty.

"No," I replied, but I knew she didn't believe me.

"'Tis natural for a bride to have pre wedding jitters. Don't worry- either about the day or the night after."

I nearly was sick. Ew.....just the thought made me sick. With Legolas- EW!

She reached over and gave me a hug around the shoulders.

"I'll always be there."

I nodded.

"Now, you've got to go get some rest. It's a big day tomorrow. We won't stop until quite late."

She laboriously got to her feet and motioned for me to follow. I got up, and taking her hand, walked back through the woods.
