A/N: I beg of you, don't kill me for the evil horrible-ness of me not updating for such a horribly evil unbelievable amount of time! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry! Well, anyway, lets go, so you don't have to listen to my pathetic apologies anymore! (im sorry!)

Disclaimer: Well, as you all hopefully are aware of, I don't own any Lord of the Rings characters. I don't really own any of my relatives. (they own themselves!) but I must say, I came up with this idea all by myself.

Chapter 7: A Very Late Chapter

As they were walking around Rome, pretending not to be lost, Aragorn's cell phone rang.

"Yello?" He said, trying to sound cool, but not quite succeeding. "King of Gondor speaking."

Pippin and Legolas tried not to laugh. Deciding that they could use a rest, they went into a store while Aragorn was on the phone. They listened in half interest as Pippin picked out postcards to send his family and friends.

"Oh, heeeey, Frodo, my little man! Whats up? ............ oh, you're in Italy too? Wow, that's weird! I thought that you and Sam were in France................... Oh, I see, you backpacked with Bill down to Italy because the French people were laughing at you..................... So, how'd you know we were here? Glorfy told you? Wow, that's sweet!......................... oh, you know someone who has relatives over here ............. They want to invite everyone you know to dinner at their house? Sweet, man! What's the address? .... Yeah .... Yeah..... ok ..... Got it man! See you guys later!" Aragorn hung up the phone and turned to Legolas and Pippin. "Yo, dudes, that was Frodo!"

Lego and Pip nodded interestedly.

"He knows someone who has relatives out here in Rome! We're invited to dinner at their house at 7:00!"

Legolas just nodded (he was preoccupied with staring at himself in a mirror (ever since his hair was cut and spiked, he's been a little vain)) but Pippin stared at the king wide eyed.

"We have to wait 'till ... 'till 7:00?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!" unable to contain himself he burst out into gut wrenching sobs, threw himself on the floor pathetically, and started moaning about how he was going to starve to death.

Aragorn, not having kids and also being an only child, had no clue what to do. "Hey, Leggy, how 'bout some help here?"

Still preoccupied with the mirror, Legolas waved a hand and said, "Just a minute, I'm busy."

"BUSY?!?!?!" Aragorn cried, "You're staring at yourself in a mirror! I don't really consider that busy!"

"Oh go polish your sword!" Legolas snapped, never taking his eyes off the mirror.

"BUT WHAT ABOUT PIPPIN?!" Aragorn yelled over the racket Pippin was making.

At about that moment, a young, dark haired girl came into the shop. She perched her orange sunglasses on her head and knelt down next to Pippin.

Aragorn watched expectantly as the teenage girl took a deep breath. He figured she was going to do something to calm the Took down.

"SHUT UP!" the girl screamed in Pippin's ear. The volume of the scream was amazing. Legolas held his ears and tore his gaze away from the mirror and stared at the girl in amazement. Pippin stared up at her, teary eyed.

"You can yell louder than me." He whispered.

"Yep!" The girl stood up and helped Pippin to his feet. She wasn't very tall, but obviously not a Hobbit. She appeared to be half-Elvish and half oriental human.

Aragorn looked amazed. "I would have never thought to have done that. You're amazing. Who are you, if I may be so bold to ask?"

The girl bowed to Aragorn, then Legolas, "My name is Kitsune, and I just so happen to be the authoress of this fic."

Legolas took her hand and kissed it, "Lady Kitsune, I feel as if I was in the presence of one of the Valar themselves!"

Aragon sighed, "I was hoping we wouldn't have to hear about the Valar anymore."

Kitsune grinned, "Thanks, there, Leggo... I think. Well, I've got to be going now, my family is waiting." She turned to leave. "Bye bye!"

"I hope we shall meet again!" Legolas said.

"I'm sure we will!" Kitsune called back, and then was gone.

Aragorn stared at Legolas and Pippin staring after the half-Elvish teenager. It was an event. Someone could yell louder than Pippin and pull Legolas away from a mirror to stare at someone else. That was something, indeed.

A/N: I was meaning to do the dinner scene in this chapter, but I'm home sick today and I need all my strength to write the next chapter. I await your reviews! Please don't be angry with me.

Pippin: Is Kitsune pretty?

Me: Sure, why not?

Legolas: To me she is as a sea, sparkling in the sunlight.

Me: Wow, thanx for the compliment, Leggo.

Legolas: You typed it, not me.

Me: Watch out buster, I could make them give you a pink Mohawk and
hang you upside down off the railings of the Domo.

Legolas: I did not mean to offend you, my lady.

Me: *grins*

Pippin: NOT FAIR!!!!! I DIDN'T GET TO SAY MUCH!
