Legolas and Alede stood outside the door of Deollyn's home.

Arwen had stayed behind with Aragorn while Legolas and Alede went to see Gwen.

Legolas raised his hand, and knocked on the door.

They could hear movements from inside the house, and minutes later the door opened and revealed a maiden who held a striking resemblance of Arwen.

Her deep blue eyes widened as she remembered who they were. But then her gaze suddenly hardened, and she pursed her lips.

"May we speak with you a moment?" Legolas asked from beneath his hood.

"One moment." Gwen said, disappearing back inside the house, but then coming back out moments later, her coat wrapped around her.

"What have you done with him!?" Gwen asked, as she firmly shut the door behind her.

"We have dealt him no harm, if that is what you mean." Alede said shifting her light blue eyes so she could meet Gwen's piercing gaze.

"Who are you?" She asked.

Alede let out a sigh, she had hoped to avoid this but that was no longer a option.

"I am Alede daughter of the Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn of the elven realm of Caras Galadhon. And this is Legolas of the woodland realm." Alede said making a hand gesture to where the prince stood.

Gwen nodded Alede's words held a ring of truth to them, and she believed the elf maiden.

But she had only ever herd of such things in stories her father had told her when she was a small child.

She had thousands of questions for the elves, but she put her questions aside, and focused on why they had come in the first place.

Her eyes softened and her tone did not hold an edge to it any longer.

"But why are elves in Gondor? I have herd only of such beings in stories when I was younger." Gwen asked.

The cloaked being had pushed his hood back, and his pale golden locks spilled over his strong shoulders.

Gwen unintentionally starred at Legolas's pointed ears, and she shifted her gaze back to Alede who had idly pushed a strand of her dark tresses behind one of her pointed ears.

She starred at the maiden a moment before shifting her deep blue eyes back to Legolas.

Her gaze studying the prince's pale face.

"We are here to take our friend home, the one you have called Thorongil. His *real* name is Strider, and his family wants him back, and so do we." Legolas said, raising one eye brow at the human girl before him.

"What do you want with me then?" Gwen asked.

"We need you to help us." Alede said simply, "Will you?" Alede asked.

Gwen nodded, and brilliant smiles came over the elves's faces.

"Come with us." Legolas said, motioning Gwen to follow them as they passed threw the crowd. Gwen hurried after them, trying to catch up to them.

They walked for some time in silence till they came to a establishment called "The Night Cap".

Legolas, Alede, and Gwen entered the bar, but the two elves quickly led Gwen down the hall and to the room where they were keeping the ranger.

~~~~*~~~~

Aragorn watched the elf maiden closely, his head still ached and his hand hurt almost unbearably.

"What are you thinking?" He asked, it hurt to even speak, it felt like the room was spinning.

Arwen noticed the pain etched on Aragorn's face, and worry entered the depths of her deep blue eyes.

"Shh.....meleth nin [my love]." Arwen soothed, as she gently brushed the ranger's cheek with the back of her hand.

Aragorn raised his grey eyes and looked straight into Arwen's deep blue eyes.

He felt a love there for him, which he could not understand, for he had never before met this elf maiden. Or at least as far as he could remember, but that was not much considering he had no idea who he was, or where he had come from.

~~~~*~~~~

Elladan and Elrohir looked upon Minas Tirith, they were less then half a mile from the city.

It had not been hard to track Legolas, Alede, and Arwen. For the three had left a pretty clear trail.

They nudged their horses forward to full run, the brisk wind blew against the twins as they rode towards the city.

They pulled the hoods of their cloaks over their heads, concealing their faces, and their dark hair. The guards of the city admitted them.

A stable was near to the gates, and they asked to board their horses for a week at most.

When that was taken care of, they started to move threw the city. Trying to find anything about where the three might be staying.

~~~~*~~~~

Aragorn and Arwen looked up as the door opened, Gwen stood in the door, Alede and Legolas behind her.

Gwen's deep blue eyes narrowed with rage as her gaze landed on Arwen who had yet to pull her hand back.

"You." Gwen ground out, her voice driving a cold edge.

Arwen's deep blue eyes also narrowed with anger as the day before when she had seen Gwen and Aragorn flashed through her mind, and she stood swiftly from her chair.

By this time Gwen had fully entered the room, and Alede and Legolas had entered also shutting the door behind them and moving away from the enraged women.

"You." Arwen said, her eyes flashing dangerously. "How dare you." Arwen ground out.

"How dare you!" Gwen fired back. Arwen had crossed the room to where Gwen had been standing.

Gwen gave the elf maiden a push, and Arwen stumbled back slightly. But quickly regained her balance, and returned the shove with one of her own, making the human stumble and fall.

Although Gwen swiftly stood to her feet and let her fist fly, hitting Arwen hard in the stomach.

The elf maiden doubled over from the pain. But recovered and sent a fist flying in return that hit Gwen in the jaw.

Gwen cried out in pain bringing her hand to her jaw, and rubbing it to sooth the ache.

She reached out and struck Arwen across the cheek. Arwen's head turned from the impact.

Alede had had about enough of this, and she tried to brake up the fight that had begun but ended up being pulled into it.

Legolas had crossed to Aragorn who had risen to his feet. Watching the fight that was going down.

Legolas looked over at Aragorn, as if to say: 'You want to stop this?'

Aragorn vigorously shook his head.

"No way." Estel said, turning his silver eyes on Legolas.

"I agree." Legolas said.

"How much do you want to bet Arwen wins?" Aragorn asked, cocking one eye brow in question at the prince.

"You're on." Legolas said, a grin on his face.

Legolas and Aragorn turned as the door opened and Elladan and Elrohir entered.

Stopping dead in their tracks as they saw the fight that had ensued.

Elladan and Elrohir leapt out of the way as the women came to near to them.

The twins quickly crossed to Aragorn and Legolas who stood a safe distance from the fighting maidens.

"Whats going on?" Elrohir asked, his gaze slowly working it's way back over to the angry women before turning back to Legolas and Aragorn.

Legolas explained all that had happened quickly and the twins cocked their heads slightly.

"Who's betting on who?" Elladan asked when Legolas finished, seating himself in a chair near to where the others stood safely away from the maidens.

"I am betting that Arwen wins." Aragorn said.

"And I am betting Alede gets out of there soon." Legolas said.

"How much?" The twins asked in unison.

"How about..." Legolas paused a moment, in thought. "If I loose I come, and stay in Rivendell for a year." The prince said finally. The twins laughed.

"Your on," Elrohir said around his laughter. "Though I think father will die of a heart attack when he hears of it."

Legolas's bet that Alede would get out of the fight soon, won out first.

She was able to escape with just a bloody lip, and only a few bruises and scratches to her arms.

But Gwen and Arwen kept at it, punches were thrown back and forth, slaps every so often echoed of skin.

Cries of pain came from the maidens every so often, as hair was tugged, and nails dug into soft flesh.

"Guys! Stop placing bets and get in there and pull them apart NOW!" Alede cried, her eyes flashing with anger at the men who were just sitting there placing bets on who would win the fight.

She swiped at the blood that trickled from her lip, wincing from the pain that her touch caused.

Aragorn, Legolas, Elladan, and Elrohir immediately stopped their chatter and looked at Alede a moment.

"NOW!" Alede half screamed half evenly said.

All four jumped to their feet and Elladan and Elrohir went to pry their sister away from Gwen while Legolas and Aragorn went to get Gwen away from Arwen.

Alede rolled her eyes, "Men." She said, shaking her head, and rubbing her weary eyes.

Elladan and Elrohir struggled to keep their sister back. One of Arwen's eyes was black, and blood ran from her own lip.

She had scratches on her neck, and the arms of her dress were torn a littler and blood stained.

Gwen was in no better shape with her one black eye, scratches decorated her arms and the tattered sleeves of her dress were a little crimson from the injuries.

Blood ran from her mouth from when Arwen had slapped her.

"Look at yourselves! You are acting like a bunch of toddlers!" Alede cried, rubbing her own sore jaw from when she had been punched.

"While you are pulling each other's hair out, the men are placing bets on which one of you will win!" Alede cried.

"You what?!" Arwen and Gwen cried at the same time, both wriggling out of their holder's grasp. Gwen turning on Aragorn, and Arwen on her brothers.

Legolas backed away from Aragorn and Gwen, half running into Alede.

He turned around, and Alede's eyes narrowed as she grasped his forearm tightly.

"Oh no, you are not getting away that easily." Alede said, her voice carrying a edge to it.

The prince grimaced and tried to back away. 'This is going to be a long night.'

TBC~

Ok, so that was about 5-6 pages. Short I know and obviously they got nothing important accomplished accept Arwen and Alede got to try and kill each other.

Barely any Aragorn once more, but that is definitely not my fault. All these chapters are written by Linwen. If it were me, I never would have had a cat fight in it. But Linwen had to do it.

So! No flames please and I am going to answer the reviews at the end of the story now so that if something that you asked about happened in the chapter, I can actually tell you.

Hope that made sense, anyway, PLEASE R&R! But keep it kind. Do not flame us!!! Please!!!

Well, I hurried as much as I could BabeyRachey. I hope it was fast enough. I have been so busy lately. Stress is really buildin' high. Hope you liked this chapter. J

Yes grumpy , they got Aragorn back and now, he must get his memory back. Thanks for reviewing!!!

Get in line Lady of Nimrodel, we all want his for ourselves. Hehe. I do to, well Linwen would rather have Legolas, but that is fine, more chance of us getting Aragorn. And I know 'he hit your baby.' and I am sorry, well not really, since I am sick minded and relish in pain. *shrugs* I am so weird. Anyway, Oh yes, there is me and then Linwen, that makes two. But actually, I am a modern day Gollum. Hehe. I am creepy and weird (as I have already said) though I do not bite people or try and strangle them so I can get little round pieces of yellow jewelry. LOL. Yes I believe there is more in my other stories, the current one will have LOTS, I think. Anyway, gotta go! Thanks for reviewing and I hope you review again!!!!
