Chapter 6- another competition
A couple weeks passed by and Gimli and Legolas healed perfectly. They stayed around the palace, helping Aragorn and Faramir with whatever they needed.
There was some tension between Legolas and Gimli, but not the bad kind. This tension was something like I-don't-know-what-to-say or Maybe-we-should-talk-but-you-first sort of thing. Aragorn decided not to interfere, tolet this work its own way out.
One night after going to bed after an extremely long day of paperwork and meetings Aragorn was awoken out of a deep sleep. He didn't recall what had woke him up so rudely but he got out of bed anyways. He stepped softly as to not wake Arwen and came to the door connecting his room to another room. He heared the voices of Legolas and Gimli chatting away softly.
Aragorn pressed his ear up to the door. For a fleeting second he felt nine years again eavesdropping on Glorfindel and Elrond. He managed to catch snipets of their conversation.
"...in haste. We could do it..."
"No, Master Dwarf....like surprises much."
Aragorn felt confused. Surprises? Haste? Shaking his head he went back to bed. At least those two had made up.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Aragorn opened his eyes when he felt Arwen's soft kiss on his lips. He kissed back and she smiled as they broke apart.
"Legolas and Gimli need to see you in a hour. They said it was urgent."
Aragorn sat up and scratched his head.
"How urgent? Is something wrong?"
Arwen patted his shoulder. "You'll have to wait. They told me nothing."
With that said Arwen gracefully left adn Aragorn stretched. He saw breakfast on a silver tray and ate while he dressed. To pass time he looked over some paper work. When the time had come he realized that Arwen never told him where they were at.
Aragorn left down the hallway checking in the bedrooms. No sign of anyone which was odd. He went to the sitting room and again was surprised to see the doors had been shut. The doors were never shut. Aragorn reached out and pulled open the door.
He was greeted by a colorful sight and the sound of everyone in the room saying in unison," Happy Name Day, Aragorn!"
Aragorn smiled. He had totally forgot his own Name Day. He bowed his head a little and laughed with all those in the room. He took a look around and saw Gimli and Legolas beaming. Both the dwarf and the elf wore colorful clothing as did the others.
"You two planned this, didn't you," Aragorn said remembering their conversation from last night.
"Yes, although I didn't think you'd like it that much. After all you were never one for surprises," Legolas said cheerfully. Aragorn smiled back, relieved the elf was returning to his self again.
For the next few hours they talked and ate and of course drank merrily. Aragorn was in a conversation with Faramir when Gimli's voice rang out ver the crowd.
"Hey Elf, I challange you to a contest."
Legolas laughed. "What kind Dwarf?"
Gimli raised his glass and Legolas' eyes narrowed. Gimli smiled and put his glass back down and instead pick up a plate of food.
"An eating contest. Whoever eats the most, wins."
Legolas grinned again. He picked up another plate and a twinkle appeared in his eyes as he looked at Aragorn.
He said," Bring it on Gimli."
Aragorn slapped a hand to his face and couldn't help but to laugh. Those two were like having Elladan and Elrohir all over again, and Aragorn enjoyed every second of it.
Hope you like it. THE END!!!!!!
