A/N: Ok, we're done with the invisibible spiders. (Twitches) I hate spiders.

And now, without further ado, the chapter.

There were three days left until the wedding. Elenna and Astoldominien had not yet arrived in Mirkwood, which only added to Maqueden's already heavy amount of stress. Currently, she was trying on her wedding dress one last time to give Kyriana something to do.

She came out of her room and into the kitchen, wearing her dress. Kyriana smiled. "You look great." She said, flipping the veil back so that Maqueden's face was visible.

"Thanks." Maqueden said shakily, sitting down on a chair beside the table. "I'm nervous." She blurted out suddenly. "I mean… What if this doesn't work out? What if… What if Thranduil finds out? He'll kill me! I think I'm gonna die an unmarried elf…"

"Breathe." Kyriana commanded, placing her hands on Maqueden's shoulders and shaking her a bit. "My father's coming back today, how do you think I feel? I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat."

"Sorry… I like my position now, thank you. If you're scared of him you can come spend a couple of days with me… And Elenna, if she makes it home in time…"

"Thanks, but he'd know I was running from him. Listen, I found a glitch in our plan. Everyone still thinks you are me, and it is customary for the bride's father to walk her down the aisle…"

Maqueden groaned. "He'd kill me if he knew I wasn't you!" She put her head in her hands and groaned. "Now I KNOW I'm gonna die an unmarried elf!"

"Yeah… He would… But Thranduil told me yesterday that Ada is no longer allowed to walk me down the aisle… So now you get Thranduil!" Kyriana exclaimed happily. "I just said that to see how you would react."

Maqueden groaned inwardly. "WHY?!" She squeaked. "Thranduil's worse!"

"No he's not. Now go change. I promised Legolas we'd meet him before Ada comes home." Kyriana ordered, shooing Maqueden out of the kitchen and into her room.

The two arrived at the castle at the same time as Kyriana's father. Alaklain dismounted his horse and slung his bow over his shoulder. He did not look very happy at all. For one, he had lost about 20 pounds, which was a big deal, because he had already been rail-thin. His hair was tangled and knotted, and great pieces of it hung in his eyes. His clothes were torn. He no longer wore shoes and there was a wad of something sticky on his shirt, not to mention the several stains. He growled as he passed Kyriana, who glared back at him with an attitude that said, "I am not afraid." If time had taught her only one thing, it was to not fear her father. He could do her no harm now that Thranduil was keeping him under close surveillance.

Legolas appeared behind the two girls. Laughing inwardly, he gave Kyriana's shoulder a reassuring squeeze and slipped his hand into Maqueden's. He knew they were both scared out of their wits, but for separate reasons. Long after everyone had gone inside, the famous trio remained.

A/N: Super short. I'm really sorry! But there was nothing to put in this chapter besides Kyriana's father coming home. There is lots of fluff coming up! In… ummm… 2 chapters! Yay! Cuz that's the wedding! Sorry I haven't updated in forever… I got sidetracked with other stuff… And in a week I have band camp again so I won't be writing any more until after school starts because it's from 8 AM to 9 PM. I have an obsessive band director. SIGH.

(Does happy dance)

Goodnight, all you lovely people! Muahahahahahahahahahahaha (hit by some random orc sword) (author) (ARGH! MY LEG!) (dies) Oh rats. Not you can't have any more story. And I have a high powered peanut shooter… SO I can shoot peanuts at you from all the way from Seattle. Unless you happen to live there… And if you do and you've noticed the heat, it's because I'm here. My family always brings the heat with us. It just sorta… follows us. Hehehehehehehehehe. (grins) Tootles!

THANK YOU'S!!!

Saraline-elven-fair – thanks!

Maveri [reachforthesky] estel- I think this one focused more on Kyriana. I'll try to write a sequel once school gets started… But I'm currently on chapter 4 of a 24 chapter story about code Lyoko, so… Yeah. If I can handle it I'll start on the sequel, but it might take a while. Especially with marching band and everything… (Sighs) I hate band. AUGH!!! STUPID BAND CAMP!!!

Crecy- Nope. I'm not getting married. I'm too young! I'm only 40! (in elven years…) I forgot my human age years ago…

Ok… That's only three reviews… C'mon, you guys can do better than that! I predict a thousand reviews when I get home… You have three days! Start writing!

I'm gone!
