A/N: I'm home sick today so a lot of this has been typed out. There is almost 10 pre-written chapters, so after chapter 10 updates will be slower 'sob, sob'.

Thanx 2: The Hobbit ivy: I'm glad you like our fic. Please keep reading.

Karsha (ahsrak): Although I knew you were going to review, thanx anyway, and I do try with the spelling.

Hellooo: Thanx for the review!

Here we go.

" Okay Ari, truth or dare?" " Dare" she replied " I like to live dangerously ". " Hmmm. Got it. Ari, I dare you, when we go shopping, to buy a little denim mini, boots and a boob-tube and it has to be seen by the whole school". Ari gulped. She'd never worn anything like that before. " Oh, by the way, you have to get up on a table in the mess hall and sing"

" What!!!!" " In your outfit too" Vanaali added. Ari poked her tongue out at Vanaali. "I'll get you"

" Okay, here we are, lil' skank, the shop where you're gonna buy your slutty outfit for the dare" " Can we just get this over with? I don't wanna be seen here. I am a skater girl". They entered the shop. " Look, there's Arwen and her group. She look's horrible in those hotpants" " Hey this micro-mini would be good" 'Ria pointed out a really small skirt. " And this top" " And these boots" " Tiria". Arwen had spotted them and come over " seeing you here isn't a shock but every-one else- puh-leeze" " Actually, we're here for Ari" was 'Ria's mild reply. Arwen burst into fits of giggles "yeah right". " What Arwen. Haven't heard of people wanting a change. You need one" " Ari need more attention from guys that aren't from Mirkwood". "Shut-up Thorne". Arwen's gang had come over. "You're just jealous that you don't date a prince". Arwen gave them a bitchy look and walked off.

'Ria had already left for school when Ari emerged from her room wearing the dare clothes plus a long black coat and black beret over her hair, which was up in a weird bun style, courtesy of 'Ria. She walked down the hall, receiving weird looks from people trying to figure out who she was. She had chemistry first and she was still Aragorn's lab partner. She walked into the chemistry classroom and went to her seat. ' Good, he's not here yet' she thought, and then ' oh great'. Aragorn had come into the room, laughing and joking with his friend's, until they split and went to their seats. " Uh, this is Arielle's seat" Aragorn told her. " Is it so unobvious who I am?" she asked " red hair, purple-blue eyes, use your brain for once Aragorn, you know, the thing your skull protects". " Ari, are you okay?" " Fine, perfect, never been better". Aragorn sat down on the edge of the seat " if you say so".

"-Kay, honey everything's sorted for your song" "Legolas, I can't believe you're helping my friends shame me out like this" "Why, honey? It's really fun". Ari stuck her tongue out at him. Legolas continued as though he hadn't seen her " anyway, we'll do the intro (Legolas is in the band) and then you get up and sing, here's the mic by the way". Ari stood and the song Stuck, by Stacey Orrico, began to play. Ari sang " I can't get out of bed today or get you off my mind, I just can't seem to find a way to leave this love behind". Ari walked down the table she was standing on, but when she got to the last line she crouched down in front of whoever was sitting there "I'm stuck on you". She was crouched in front of Aragorn. She turned bright red, jumped off the table, and ran out of the hall. Ari could hear Aragorn's friends congratulating him in the background. Great, she thought, just what I need, people spreading rumours about Aragorn and me. Legolas followed her out. " Why did they have to do that to me? My life is ruined" She told him " Don't worry Ari" Legolas told her " I still love you".

(Hi, originally this next part was going to be a new chapter but it was really short so I added it on to this one. Bye.)

(Holidays, I'm going by n.z holidays which means that they are in Rohan at Christmas and I changed the holidays to winter ones so they get 2 weeks off)

"- And this is the place I grew up" Ari told her friends, looking out the carriage window at Edoras" Rohan" a minute later she added " and it looks like we've got a welcoming party. How shameful" " Hey, Arielle, at least people care about you" Haldir told her. " It's Ari, Haldir" " Sor-ry, Ar- I". Ari rolled her eyes. The carriage stopped and they all stepped outside. Every one came forward and for a moment, Ari was enveloped in a crowd hugging her and telling her how great it was to see her.

" I wish I had better cultural clothes," Ari said as they changed for the welcoming banquet. " You'll be fine" 'Ria assured her.

Ari stood with Legolas at the edge of the ballroom. She scanned the room "oh great" she muttered. She had spotted her ex, Karl (he was so covered in spots he was nearly unrecognisable just ignore me I'm weird). " Hi Arielle!" he called. " Obviously no hard feelings about you two breaking up" Legolas muttered in her ear. Karl stood in front of Ari " wanna dance?" he asked " uh okay" she replied. Karl whirled her around the dance floor for one song and then returned her to her friends. " So Ari" Shadae said " dancing with your ex, leading him on?" " Shut-up Shadae, we're friends only".

So can you please review people? Thanx.
