Note: Thanks for the reviews. I think the title for my next story will be Heart´s obstacles. Tell me what you think. Let´s begin.

Joyce smiled when she saw Merry, Pippin and Sam hugging and laughing with Frodo.

"Well, Frodo, you must be hungry now." Pippin said while smiling.

"No, Pippin not really. But if you want to go and have second breakfast, you are free to go." Frodo answered while smiling back.

Shrugging Pippin said. "Well then suit yourself. Who will join us?"

Merry jumped up as did Gimli. The rest exchanged a look with Frodo.

"Go, I will get ready and if it is okay with Gandalf. I would like to go for a walk." Frodo said.

Smiling Gandalf said. "Yes, Frodo. But don´t overwork yourself is that understood. Now the rest can do what they want. Aragorn I need to speak with you about the crownation."

Aragorn signed and said. "I was hoping it could wait at least a couple of days. Or maybe months. I guess not."

Joyce grinned at him.

Seeing this Aragorn added. "You will get your share, Joyce and then I will laugh at you. I swear."

Shaking his head, Gandalf took Aragorn by his shoulder and guided him out of the room. After that he came inside to say. "Frodo, I want somebody to stay with you when you go for a walk. Just pick somebody. We will join you shortly."

Frodo looked over at the room. "Who will go for second breakfast?"

Merry, Pippin and Gimli raised their hand. Sam was looking at his feet. "How about you Sam?" Joyce asked.

Looking up, Sam said. "I would like to, but I don´t want to leave Frodo."

Frodo smiled at this and said. "Sam, you can go. I am sure Legolas or Joyce will stay with me. I am fine now. The quest is over, you don´t have to worry about me anymore."

"Fine, then I will join you guys for second breakfast." Sam said.

"Frodo, I am sorry, but you have to excuse me for a couple of minutes. I need to do something. I will join you for the walk in about a half hour, is that alright?" Legolas asked.

Frodo nodded and then said to Joyce. "It seems that I will be you burder then for today. I hope that you do not mind."

Joyce smiled at the Hobbit and said. "I do not mind at all Frodo. I will wait outside until you are ready."

Everybody left the room. Legolas smiled at Joyce, before kissing her on the cheek and left.

Gimli was shaking his head and sending mad looks towards the Elf´s back. The Hobbits smiled at him. Joyce grinned before pushing them towards the breakfast area.

She then waited for Frodo.

A couple of minutes later the door opened and Frodo stepped outside. He smiled at her, before asking. "What way shall we walk?"

"Maybe we can just walk over the grass field. It is big enough and the rest can find us easily."

Frodo nodded and they were on their way.

The first couple of minutes were spent in silence, until Frodo asked. "Joyce, what happened to Boromir?"

"I am sorry Frodo, but he has died. The day when the Fellowship broke, we were attacked and the Uruk-Hai took Merry and Pippin captive. They killed Boromir."

Frodo looked beaten by this news. "That is a sad thing to hear. He wanted to take the ring from me, I am sorry that he had to pay with his life."

Joyce shook her head. "No, Frodo. He died defending Merry and Pippin. That is an honorable death. Don´t be sorry. The ring is destroyed and it will not be coming back."

The Hobbit smiled before taking a good look at her. "Joyce, you changed. But I cannot put my finger on it what it is precisely. Tell me what has happened to you."

Joyce smiled before she sat down underneath a tree. "I will tell you, but let us sit down. It is a long story."

Frodo went to sit down by her and then said. "Does it have something to do with Legolas? You two were very close on the quest."

Joyce smiled again before she said. "You are very good at guessing Frodo. As is Sam. But before I tell you my tale, you have to answer me this. How did you know of the closeness from me and Legolas?"

Frodo smiled at the memory." It was in the way he looked at you and talked to you. Gandalf told me he was usualy more silent. But when I saw the two of you talk so much, I tought that there was something going on between you two, but I was and still am not sure what it is."

Joyce smiled and leaned back against the tree and said. "I will tell you then. Well, if it hard to say but also quite easy. I love him. And he said he loved me back. Well okay it went the other way around but who minds the details right."

Frodo gasped before laughing. "Wow, This is something I never expected. But then again things change. But this still does not explain why you changed so much."

Joyce smiled and told Frodo everything that had happened between Legolas and her. Without the things he did not need to know. The last thing she told about the transformation.

Frodo smiled when the story was done and said. "Well, I see a lot of things have happend. Now I will tell you what has happened when we left the Fellowship."

Joyce listened intensely to Frodo´s story. When he was done, she said. "You have earned my respect Frodo. If there is anything I can do for you, all you have to do is send for me and I will come."

Frodo smiled before saying. "Thank you, Joyce. I will remember it."

"Want to walk ahead?" Joyce asked Frodo. The Hobbit nodded and stood up.

They were talking on all sort of things. Joyce had told Frodo about that Gandalf was her grandfather and the Hobbits reacted very suprised at that.

Frodo was talking to Joyce, when he saw Legolas sneaking up at them. The Elf put his finger to his lips, indicating that he wanted to scare Joyce. Frodo smiled and continued to talk to her.

Joyce smiled as Frodo told her about the things that Merry and Pippin used to get into when they were smaller.

Joyce nearly jumped when two hands encircled her waist and pulled her back. Looking over her shoulder, she was met by Legolas smiling widely at her. Signing softly, she elbowed him again. Legolas only grinned widder and tightened his grip.

"Legolas, as much as I like to feel you arm around, it will be hard moving. Is there any way of you letting me go?" Joyce told the Elf.

Legolas grinned again and said. "I can think of a few things. But those are better left in private, how about a kiss? But not a normal kiss, a real kiss."

Joyce rolled her eyes, before she said. "Fine, but remember I am only doing this because I love you, normally you would be death, keep it in mind. Now if you would loosen up some I could acutally move."

Legolas loosened his grip some, but did not let go.

Joyce exchanged a look with Frodo before she said. "I am sorry Frodo, but he is kind of determend."

After that she turned around and kissed Legolas full on the mouth. The Elf tightened his grip and deepened their kiss.

Frodo was watching the trees and the bird, but after a couple of minutes he coughed idicating that he was still here.

Joyce broke the kiss, but Legolas still help onto her.

Sending him a look, she said. "Legolas, honey, come on, let go of me now. It has been enough. Or you can sleep outside tonight."

Legolas locked her gaze, and Joyce saw that love shone in his eyes but also a part of the sea longing still lingered there. His eyes were getting stormy and he wispered in a horse voice in her ear. "Does that mean you have a suprise for me tonight?"

Joyce grinned and whispered back. "That is something you will have to find out for tonight, that is if you let go of me now."

Legolas let go of her in an instance. He smiled at Frodo. Frodo smiled back, before asking. "Will Gimli like it?"

Joyce laughed out loud and Legolas said. "He does not got anything to do with this. But no, I don´t think he will like this."

A couple of minutes later the others joined them. Joyce smiled at seeing the Hobbits so happy to see each other again.

Soon she felt Legolas´s arm going around her waist again. He pulled her against him and rested his head on her shoulder.

"They seem happy, Joyce there is something I have to tell you." She heard him say to her.

Joyce nodded and turned her head to look at him.

"My father send me a letter, he will not be able to make Aragorn´s coronation and so I have to act as the prince of the Elves of Mirkwood. I take it your place is with Aragorn that day?"

Joyce nodded before she said. "Yes, he asked me to stand by him when he will be crowned."

They had to break up their conversation because Frodo needed to be saved from Merry, Pippin and Sam lying on top of him.

The rest of the afternoon was spend in fun times between friends. As was dinner and the evening.

When Joyce walked to the room she shared with Legolas, she was suprised to find Legolas gone as were the blankets on the bed and the pillows.

There was a note on the table again. It said: "follow the direction on this note and it will lead you to me."

Shrudding Joyce left the room and followed the direction, soon she was walking on the grass towards a tree by the river. The tree was out of sight unlesh somebody was looking for it.

Stepping up to the tree, she colapsed her hand over her mouth in sheer suprise.

Legolas had made a bed underneath the leaves and the stars. He was lying on the blankets, he smiled when he heard her coming.

Getting up, he then took her by the hand and while sitting down again, he said. "You said I had to sleep outside tonight if I did not let go, so I figured why not sleep outside the both of us. Unlesh you mind." Love was shining in his eyes.

He was silenced when Joyce kissed him and let her tongue explore his mouth. Legolas answered the kiss by playing with her tongue.

The rest of the evening was spend in bliss.

Aftermaths Joyce was lying against Legolas. She was smiling and said. "Don´t worry about me getting pregnant I took the potion."

Legolas smiled and kissed the top of her head, before he looked up at the stars.

"They are beautifull, are they not?" He asked her.

Joyce nodded and said. "Even though I am from there, I feel more at home on Arda. I would not want to leave this place for the world."

Legolas smiled before he said. "But someday you have to. You are mortal. But I will follow you, not matter what."

Joyce answered with. "No, Legolas you won´t. Death is not your path, I believe there is another path for us and not only us two but for all of the Fellowship."

Legolas yawned, causing Joyce to smile. "How about we get some sleep? We will go back to Minas Tirith tomorrow and it will be a couple of long days after that."

Legolas nodded before crawling underneath the blanket and pressed her against him again. For some reason, he could not sleep anymore without having Joyce next to him or in his arms.

Joyce smiled before she fell asleep.
