Note : Thanks for the reviews. Sorry I did not update yesterday but I was really busy with my finals and now I am done with them so. I still need ideas on the next chapter for my next story. Let´s begin.

It was the grey hours before sunset when Aragorn, Legolas, Joyce and Gimli met for breakfast.

Everybody was well rested. Gimli had caught something that was suposed to look like rabbit, but Joyce decided to only ate some bread.

After that they took the ships towards Minas Tirith.

Legolas was still restless, so close to the sea, but not as much as last night. Gimli had stopped shouting at him and sending him mad look, when Joyce said that if he did not stop, she would toss him out of the boat and into the river.

She was now standing next to Aragorn, who was looking out the river.

"Joyce, can I have your opinion on something?" Aragorn asked softly.

Joyce looked at him before she said. "Of course you can, Aragorn."

"I know I will be known as the king when we come in Minas Tirith, but can you stand by my side when they crown me? I am kind of scared of such a crowd only coming out for me."

Joyce laughed out loud before clapsing him on the shoulder and said. "I will do that, Aragorn. You will make a great king with a beautifull queen on your side."

"I think so. And what are you going to become? Will you become the princes of Mirkwood?" He asked while looking at her.

Joyce blushed before she answered. "I don´t know. Legolas asked me if I would like to come with him to Mirkwood after this war is over. But I don´t know what he has planned. You must ask him."

"I will do that. I need to speak with him anyway. Can you keep watch? Warn me if you find anything."

Joyce nodded and looked out towards the lightening horizon.

Legolas was standing in the back of the ship, looking out towards the sea.

Aragorn tried to sneak up on him.

"Estel, even trough I am distrected does not mean you can sneak up on me, Mellon-Nin." Legolas said without turning around.

Aragorn cursed and then walked over to stand next to the Elf. Legolas grinned before looking out at the landscape again.

Aragorn was silent so Legolas asked him. "What is it that you want to talk about, Aragorn?"

The man smiled before saying. "You know me well, friend. I was merely making sure that you were okay. Are you now?"

"Yes, I am. The sea longing is a part of me now. It is not that bad when you are used to it. I guess."

Aragorn fell silent before asking the question he wanted to ask in the first place. "Will you leave?"

Legolas looked at him, before thinking and saying. "No, Elessar. I will not leave until the time is right. I have enough reason to stay here."

Aragorn smiled before asking the next question. "I heard you will take Joyce to Mirkwood when this is over. What are you planning on doing?"

Legolas eyed him again before answering. "I do not know yet. If I did not need my father´s blessing and concent I would have married her right now. I love her and I know that I will have to fight for her. I am just not so convident that my father will like her."

Aragorn petted Legolas on his shoulder. "I am sure that he will. He only wants for you to be happy even that is little bit hard to see sometimes."

"I know that my father wants that for me. But that still is not going to mean that he will let me marry a mortal. Aragorn, I am the crown prince of Mirkwood. I am suposed to marry some pretty Elf- Maiden. Not a mortal and a warrior. You know better then anybody how Elves think about one of them falling for a mortal."

Aragorn nodded. Oh yes he knew. "Well, I will help you in any way we can. Shall we go to the front?"

Legolas nodded.

Joyce was standing next to Gimli. Both of them were talking.

Joyce nearly jumped when two arms slid across her waist. Looking over her shoulder, she looked right into Legolas´s smile.

Elbowing him softly, she still managed to get a soft yelp from the Elf. A moment later his arms tightent around her, and she heard him growl in her ear. "You will pay that when we get in Minas Tirith, Meleth."

Joyce smiled and wispered back. "I would like to see that first, princeling."

A couple of hours later, all of them croushed down to mis guide the orcs. Aragorn nodded to them.

Jumping out, Joyce loved the look on the faces of the orcs. When they moved in to kill the orcs, the army of the dead is right behind them.

Joyce slashed trough the neck of the orcs that stand in the way. She can hear Gimli and Legolas counting again. Shaking her head, she proceded in killing the orcs.

She can see Legolas on top of a Mûmak. He used all his skills in bringing the mighty beast down.

"Well, well. Look what we have got here. A very pretty girl. She will make a good slave." Joyce heard behind her.

Turning around, one of the men of Harad is standing there. She smiled before her grin turned into a wicked one. "Come and claim me then."

The man grinned and runned at her. Using her speed, she slashed her sword trough him faster then lighning.

Turning around, she said. "I already belong to somebody. And besides slave clothes are bad for my tan."

Looking around her, she can see that the army of the dead have moved in the city. They have won.

"Joyce, Joyce." Somebody is shouting her name.

"Joyce, over here." Looking around, she notice that it is Pippin who is calling her.

Running over, she can see that he is holding somebody.

"I am so glad that you are here. Please you must help Merry. I don´t know what is ailing him. Please you can help him right." Pippin asked, fear in his voice and on his face.

Joyce smiled at him before saying. "I can do nothing for him here. Let us get him to the houses of Healing." With that she took Merry from Pippin.

The Hobbit moaned softly when she picked him up. Looking in his face, she saw his was awake. "Are you going to help me?" He asked

Joyce nodded before saying. "You will be fine again. I promise. Go to sleep now. Pippin is right besides you. Don´t worry."

Pippin gave her his cloak to wrap around Merry. "Pippin, I need to take a horse into the city. Go to Gandalf and tell him I am in the houses of Healing with Merry. Now make haste."

Pippin nodded and went in seach of Gandalf.

Joyce took a horse that was walking lose and galloped to the city.

Getting there, she asked one of the guard if he knew where the houses of Healing were.

Following his direction, she got where she needed to be.

Running into the house. She was soon led into a empty room. Putting Merry on the bed, she asked for Athalas from the healers.

In the mean time Legolas was searching for Joyce. After he had heard from Pippin that she was in the houses of healing, he was scared that she was wounded. Aragorn found him and took him with him to the trone room of Gondor to discuss plans.

It was evening and Joyce was still sitting with Merry. Hearing a moan coming from the bed, Joyce stood up and walked over.

"A you are awake. How are you feeling?" Joyce asked him while helping him drink something.

"I have been feeling better. Is Pippin here by the way?" Merry said while trying to look around.

"He was until a hour ago. I send him to bed seeing as he was sleeping on his own feet."

Merry nodded.

"And you better get some sleep to, My dear! In two days we will leave for Mordor. And if I am correct we will need you more then ever." Gandalf´s voice sounded from the doorway. "And don´t worry for Merry. I will stay with him."

Joyce nodded before grabbing her sword and walking outside. She followed the direction that Gandalf gave her and came to a room in the castle.

Knocking, she waited for somebody to open.

A couple of minutes later the door opened, revealing Legolas without a shirt. The Elf prince smiled when he saw her.

Stepping aside, he waited for her to come in. After Joyce had closed the door, she felt two arms wrap themselves around her waist and turning her around, so she was facing Legolas.

The Elf smiled at her, but it soon faited when he saw the tears streaming down her cheeks.

Pressing her close, he asked. "Meleth, we won. What is it that makes you cry?"

Resting her head on his shoulder she answered. "I know we have won. But so many people died today. It is just that it is so hard. We also could have died."

Gentle kissing her, Legolas then wiped her tears away with his tumb. "I know Meleth. But we did not die. You look very tired, how about a nice hot bath and then I will rub your shoulder. And tomorrow we will see all our friend again. Even if it is just for a little while."

Joyce nodded and let herself be led away by Legolas to the bathroom.

After they were both clean, Legolas did what he promised and gave in her opinion the most wonderfull masage ever.

Joyce was soon asleep after that.

Joining her underneath the blankets, Legolas smiled before drifting off into dreams of the future.
