Thank you to all the reviewers: Elfobsession2931 for your MANY reviews!!!!!
Thanks!!!!, Tiger, Nadia Greenleaf, and merrymagic26; thank you all so
much!!!!! I really appreciate it; it's my first time posting on ff.net
(Michele has her own separate account- go check it out, she's a BIG Potc
fan- WhiteWave6621-go check it out!) But it's my first time, so thank you
all!!! And, to the anonymous flame, I'm deeply aggrieved that you thought
our characters were... out of character. They are simply using modern
technology (as Michele said) to make things go a little quicker. And the
new character was only in the story for about five minutes, so I'm very
sorry that you don't like it, but we're not changing a thing. On with the
story!
"Arwen, melamin," Aragorn pleaded with his wife. "I just need to use one piece!"
"Well, it's very special paper! Do you realize it was my mothers? MY MOTHERS Aragorn! It's very special. It's one of the only things I have left from her," Arwen got a little teary eyed at thinking about her mother, Celebrian, so much.
"I'm sorry melamin, I shouldn't take advantage of your paper," Aragorn wrapped his arms around his wife and gave her a kiss, sorry that she was sad about her mother.
"Is it important?" Arwen felt bad for denying her husband paper. She didn't think he would give in so easily.
"Well... I guess it's not," Aragorn had an idea.
"No, what do you need it for?" Arwen was curious at Aragorn holding something back from her.
"Well... no, it's silly..." Aragorn hoped his plan would work.
"No really sweetie, what is it? I'm sure if it's important I could spare a piece," Arwen wanted to be a generous wife. And anyways, not sharing paper seemed a little obsessive.
"I was just going to send Legolas a letter telling him to meet us at the Gap of Rohan and we could travel together to the Shire. I figured, if he was here to watch the kids, we could have some alone time..." Aragorn winked at his wife and gave Arwen's waist a squeeze. Please Valar, let this work...
"Well then, when you put it that way, I'm sure I could spare a peace," Arwen smiled back lovingly at Aragorn.
Yes!!!! His plan had worked. "Thank you love, you're so generous!" He ladened his wife with compliments because he felt bad for deceiving her.
"Oh Aragorn! You're welcome sweet."
Aragorn began to write Legolas the note.
Greetings from Gondor! Legolas, it's Aragorn. Arwen and I have been extended an invitation for a party quite out of town. Don't worry, we wouldn't dream of asking you to baby-sit, not after last time! Anyway, Frodo asked us to come to his birthday party. So I'm assuming you've been invited too. Arwen and the rest of my family are coming as well. I was wondering if you wanted to travel together. That way you wouldn't have to travel alone. If you'd like to accompany us, send back a reply and we'll meet you at the Gap of Rohan!

'Well, that looks pretty good.' Aragorn thought to himself. 'Now, to find a bird. Ah, there's one. Well, I just have to catch it.' Aragorn lightly stepped over to the bird. It slowly turned its head as if sensing his presence. He smiled and began to say some soothing elvish words to it. It hopped closer, and closer, until Aragorn could reach out and pick it up. He inched his hand closer and closed it over the bird. It crooned happily as he tied the note around the birds ankle.
"Ada! Can I hold the bird?" Eldarion bounded over to where his father was sitting. "Actually, Eldarion, this bird has to go to Uncle Legolas. We're going to meet him on our way to the Shire. Isn't that exciting?" Aragorn tried to take his son's attention away from the bird, unsure of what would happen if he got his hands on it.
Eldarion screwed his face up as if he was eating sour lembas. "Uncle Leggy is like naneth. He likes to wash his hair too much... He never wanted to watch us because he was always busy looking at himself in the mirror. Then he tried to give me groo-ming lessons. He tried to give me a fash-al. It was icky. He said I take after my ada!"
Aragorn chuckle, yet realized why his children always ended up with scars, cuts, and bruises after being baby-sat by Legolas. "Yes, well Legolas is a little superficial."
"What's soo-pur-fish-al?" Eldarion asked. "It means Legolas loves himself waaav more than most people do," Aragorn could believe what his child was telling him. When they stayed in Lothlorien, he had spent six hours washing his hair and another seven 'working on his complexion'. Aragorn couldn't for the life of him understand how Legolas would help them with the quest if all he ever did was wash his hair... no wonder Aragorn was the leader. Legolas had always cared more for his hair more than most people.
Now that the bird was sent, Aragorn and his family had spent the last three days traveling waiting for news. At around sunset on the third day, the bird had arrived, looking bedraggled and a little worse for the wear...
"Lovely, it says he can make it! Jolly good, I guess we better step up the pace then. He should be there by sunset tomorrow."
Sorry this is so short!! Next chapter, Legolas and Aragorn meet!!!!! It might be a while, Michele is leaving for FLORIDA (curse her... we hates her... precioussss) Saturday. So keep checking. I might post a chapter with a little more of Aragorn and his family... hmmmm...
