A/N: thank you to everyone who reviewed! It makes me get all happy inside when people like and review my stories!

Disclaimer: I own nothing regarding the characters...the ghost of Tolkien was keen on ignoring my shameless begging.

Chapter 3: Cruel Intentions

Still standing in front of her closet at 9 o'clock knowing her husband would love her no matter what she wore; Arwen was still looking for the perfect outfit- to fit the perfection in her seductive plans. She sighed and looked through her closet one more time. As she was about to choose her second best, she saw a box at the bottom corner of her closet. Remembering the contents of the box, Arwen chuckled gleefully and rushed to prepare for her "meeting" in the gardens.


At 10:54 and 13 seconds, one of King Elessar's advisors, Gaelin, was furiously kissing his wife, Aerna, under a bush in the gardens...


Approximately 2 ½ minutes later, Queen Arwen came gliding out from under the balcony; dressed in a long black cloak, and almost invisible in the darkness of the garden.


Exactly 5 minutes and 47 seconds after the time quoted concerning Gaelin and Aerna, King Elessar stepped out from his royal chambers and into the garden, intent of meeting his wife...


And here, as the author, I find it to be the most wonderful time for me to step in and say a few words: many things happen that the majority of us would like to pretend never occurred. Unfortunately, in the worst of times, things tend not to work out the way we want them too. So, while the rest of you are cringing in your seats, preparing yourselves for an encounter of the most uncomfortable sorts with the two couples in the spotlight of the story, I (as the author) am pleased to either disappoint you or relieve you by telling you that just as things usually don't work out how we want them...sometimes they do.

And this time just happens to be a sometime. So...just as Aragorn steps out into the garden, his wife covers his mouth with her hand and covers his eyes with a blindfold, leading him to a secret door on the outside of the garden.

And as the secret door exiting the garden slams shut, Gaelin raises his head from the bushes to scout for signs of anyone out at 11:01 at night to admire the royal rose bushes.

Finding no one, he ducks down to finish the game...
