Here it is- the last chapter to the story. Again, it has been a terrific journey writing with all my reviewers. I hope that if I ever get a new fanfiction idea, you guys will be there constantly as you have been for this story. Thanks again, it has been purely wonderful. .::Meggin::.

Chapter Eleven- Ever After
It was a beautiful day in the Palace of Mirkwood- a very breezy day, but beautiful nonetheless.
The lithe, blond elf opened his mailbox to a single letter. He flipped it over to see who it was from, and smiled. Arwen had kept her promise. Legolas sat himself below his favorite tree and began to read ravenously.
My dear friend Legolas:
I'm sorry it took me so long to send the first letter, but everything here has been chaotic. I'm sorry to say I'm also kind of in a hurry, so I will try to pack everything that has happened into this note.
My father Lord Elrond came back a few days ago. My heart literally leaped to see him again, since it has been such a long time. I kind of embarrassed myself as I gave him a katrillion hugs that day, jumping on him all of a sudden like a toad. He says the hobbits are fully healed, and they are in such good condition he presumes they won't need his help for a very long time.
It will please you to hear my father and Lady Uggalflaed have- ALAS- divorced. It was dramatic, and at the same time, funny, to watch. As soon as I told father what they have been doing to me he barged into my stepmother's room right in the middle of a make-up application lesson with Delia.
"I DEMAND A DIVORCE," he yelled, slamming the papers right into the blush powder. His face was so red, and Uggalflaed looked so scared, she would have done anything he told her to do. So she signed the papers, and with shameful tears, left the palace with that disgusting Delia. Of course they are so selfish and ignorant that they did not realize they had left Primrose behind (she was down in the servant's headquarters having a chat with the girls there). So when Primrose found out about it she just laughed her head off, saying how utterly glad she was. The next day we received a phone call from Uggalflaed, asking bitterly if Primrose wanted to come home. Of course, Primrose said no.
And then you know what happened. I called you up, and you agreed to have Primrose as one of King Thranduil's royal advisors. I am sure she is enjoying the job right now. I also hope as a result of her residing where you live, you two will grow to be fonder of each other.
"Prince Legolas?" Primrose stepped gingerly into his little forest area. "Um, your father is calling for you."
Legolas raised his eyes, and smiled. "Tell him I'm coming."
"What is that?" Primrose asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
"A letter from Arwen."
"Oh." Primrose fidgeted for a moment, and blushed. "Um, I'm sorry about that time when I spat in your hand. You know, at the ball. That was very rude of me."
Legolas laughed. "Don't mention it."
"And- I don't think you're stupid."
"Thanks."
Primrose coughed, and turned around. "Well, I must be leaving. See ya." She fluttered her hand, and made a move to depart.
Legolas jumped to his feet. "Primrose! Wait!"
Primrose took a deep breath, and turned around.
"Well, you know how father's having his birthday party tomorrow night, and I was thinking…well, if you would like to be my date."
"Uh- of course," Primrose nervously replied. "Are you sure? There are plenty of other girls out there…"
Legolas smiled, and sat back down. "The heck with them. I'd like to be with you tomorrow night. But only if you agree."
Primrose blushed. "Of course. Namárië." With a wave of her hand, she was gone.
Satisfied, Legolas picked his place up in the letter and continued.
Also, as a result of the Pig and her selfish daughter leaving, I can now reclaim the clothes Delia has stolen from me. I am no longer a servant working in my own household, and I am now dressed in a more appropriate attire. I can wake up not at 6:00, but whatever time I want. I no longer have to sleep beside the fireplace and wake up with sickening ash all over me. The servants are now taking care of the chores, but now that I know the annoying pain they go through everyday, I try and help them with the simple chores whenever I am bored. They thank me for it, but I thank them in return for teaching me a valuable lesson.
You will see me at King Thranduil's birthday party. It has been a long time, so I am very eager to see you and Primrose again. I hope your father does not fall asleep on his throne as he did once before, so tell him to cut down on the wine.
I nearly forgot to tell you about Aragorn. He had to leave for a while to take care of some errands, be he came back the same day as Father did, so it was twice the joy. He has asked me out a couple of times, and I have enjoyed myself a lot. I have been thinking profusely, and tonight I plan to meet him, and give him something highly precious of mine, something that is far more beautiful and important than what it seems on the outside. Tonight I plan to give him my love, my heart, and my immortality. I don't know what Father will say about this, but I shall have no regrets on doing it.
That is all. I've never really had a real penpal before, and I don't write letters very often. I promise to write a longer letter, but for now I wish to spend more time with my father. Things have started very badly, but I do believe all stories have a happy ending…and if not, at least a moral or two is learned. So I guess it's appropriate to say that everyone involved in this tale now lives happily ever after.
Please write soon, or I shall tear my hair out.
Sincerely,
Arwen

FINALLY! THIS STORY IS DONE! FINISHED! Please write a review on what you think of this chapter, the whole story, everything. I love to hear compliments and feedback (very long reviews appreciated…ah! I love it love it love it)!
Also I plan to give some thanks to some reviewers who have been there constantly for this story and myself. I'm only thanking those that have reviewed since 8.9.04, but if any other people happen to stop by and read, I'd like to thank you as well. I thank the following…
Bumtiggerbum07: Hello sister! Thank you for your reviews. You are very special to me because you proofread each chapter I write before I actually upload it, and you usually catch little errors and grammatical issues. Thanks, it means a whole lot. Plus you were the first one to leave a review, which means a whole lot as well.
Philippa: You are honestly one of my favorite reviewers. First of all, you were one of the first people to read my story- you can't imagine how happy I was when I opened my mail and saw your review alert inside! I love how you first compliment what you liked about the story, and then add in a very nice way any errors you caught, anything that could improve the way I write…for example, the issue of putting the dialogue and action in the same paragraph. I know that I have a bit of trouble with that, and I am working to improve. Thanks a whole lot for your reviews, they make me happy and at the same time, really improve my writing.
Jewli Demoine: Hey there! You know me as Kylee from the guild, right? Hehe! You are also one of my first reviewers, and one of my favorites. It makes me happy to know that I still make you laugh, even with parts I don't really mean to be humorous. I'm glad we don't only get to talk through reviews, because you're really a great person. Neomail me!
Rana Ninque: Hey there! I love how you give specific examples in your reviews about parts you liked, and disliked. Also, like Philippa, whenever you spot something, you always say how I could improve. I'm also happy you didn't underestimate my story, as you said in your first review: "Most stories like this aren't always so good." Thank you for being one of my constant reviewers, I thank you a whole bunch!
Hannah: "i know that arwen is cinderella and legolas is prince charming and all that jazz but could u make it arwen/aragorn pleez. tell me in ur next chappi. thanx." Hehe! Now do you like the way the story ended?
Aldawen Eldartari: Your reviews made me laugh. I was pleased to find out that I made such terrific evil characters- so evil that it drove you to the point that you actually wanted to kill them! Ha! Thanks for your reviews- they cheered me up a lot.
Mata: I'm glad you thought this was a great idea! I was a little unsure of how this story would end up at first, but your review really built up the confidence in me. I'm glad you enjoyed the first chapters of this tale, and I also hope you like how I concluded it.
Mercury Gray: Your reviews were encouraging and very helpful, I always look forward to reading them once I found out they were submitted by you! I also noted how much you wanted to have Primrose and Legolas get together. Although I totally did not intend anything like that to happen in the end, I gave a little hint. Thanks a whole lot for your reviews, I hope to read some more of your stories another time!
Ximena: You liked my story! Yay! And now you know who ended up with whom!
Satara: Your first review nearly made me cry! I'm glad I pleased you that much. I'm glad that you loved it, loved it, loved it! I rarely ever get such great compliments with my pieces of writing at school (I guess I write better when it's about Lord of the Rings, haha!). You are definitely one of my favorite reviewers. All hail the dreamers! Keep dreaming, Satara!
Elf of Rivendell: Thanks a bunch for your reviews. It seems like EVERYONE wanted Arwen and Aragorn to be together…it's a good thing I decided from the beginning that THAT was going to be the twist- it would hurt me so much to displease my readers!
