(a/n) Thanks to my reviewers! I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I actually have to thank my little brothers for convincing me to write this. If they hadn't been fighting and driven me to find an escape you all would simply have to wait! HEHEHE! Just Kidding. So here it is…..

Pleading with Parents

The feast slowly died away, with only die-hard gluttons still attacking the remaining food. Aragorn was talking with Faramir, Eowyn, and a very late Eomer. Arwen was listening to the conversation with disinterest. Gimli and Gimia were still nibbling away at some roast venison while talking to some of the older hobbits. Jamiel had left to sulk in her tent after Rosie and Maris refused to let her get to Legolas. Rosie was building up the courage to tell her father that she wouldn't be home until much later because she was going on the walk and canoe ride with Maris and Legolas.

            "The worst he can say is 'no'" Maris reasoned.  "And we'll be with you. Sam can't say that you won't be safe."

            The trio moved over to where Sam was sitting with Merry, Pippin, and several of the older hobbits. "Mae govannen Sam," Rosie bowed. "With your permission, Legolas and I would like to take Rosie on a walk and canoe ride in the moonlight. I assure you she will be very safe."

            Sam hesitated. "You're sure she'll be safe? And don't keep her up too late. Alright, she can go."

            Maris smiled. "Thank you. I promise we won't be back too late." She bowed again and left with the others.

a/n- yeah yeah I know, really short. I will update again soon-possibly another one up with this one….please review…
