Chapter 67
Disc: I do not own LOTR
A/N: Er...heh heh, here's a chapter! Almost done!!
They rode through the woods with a comfortable silence surrounding them. No one questioned why they were there or why Tricia and Legolas were often left alone while the other slipped away to let them be alone .
"It's very beautiful here. It must have been nice, growing up here." She smiled and let her wide eyes look at the woods that surrounded them. Yet Tricia found herself thinking of her own home, and how in a lot of ways, it had been nice to grow up there as well.
"Yes, it was nice to be able to go into the woods and be able to be alone." He looked at her and smiled softly. Wishing that she could know how much nicer the woods were now that she was there as well. Their companions had seemingly gotten "lost" and had left them alone.
They continued walking and talked sometimes, of their families and their childhoods. Though Tricia was still facing hers in a lot of ways, and this was what kept him from telling her how he loved her. If he was but younger, or she older this may yet work, but it was an impossibility. Even if he were to go with her to this, Earth (if it was even possible) he may yet remain immortal, and then he would still be stuck in his dilemma. They reached the end of the forest and found a comfortable spot to sit. Feeling a warm breeze they both smiled, only wishing that this could last forever.
off in the woods
"It still seems strange, the fact that we've been from home for so long." Holly watched Merry and Pippin try to reach some apples.
"Do you think that we will ever go back?" Rachel hit the stick in her hand against the ground in a bored and lazy way.
"I'm not sure. It would be nice, I miss everyone, a lot actually." She looked sadly at Merry and sighed, "But I'll miss him too much. I don't want to ask him to leave all of this."
"Same here. Pip seems to suited to the Shire, and how could we ever prepare them for what Earth has in store? We'll probably be shocked when we go back by how much has changed."
"Yeah.."
"Hey! Stop looking so gloomy and help us will you!" Merry smiled and motioned for the girls to join them. Holly smiled and got up, kissing Merry on the cheek as she walked up to him. "What was that for? Not that I'm complaining."
"Just because I could." She smiled and helped in retrieving apples for them to eat.
The next day
They said their goodbyes once again. Sad that Tricia and Legolas had still with held their feelings, but glad for the small thrill of seeing Legolas's home. The ride back to the Shire was a nice one by most standards. They were in no hurry to end it and reveled in the relaxing pace and the comfort of one another's company. Yet the two couples refrained from being to cuddly with each other, as Tricia would think of Legolas, as she often did, and sigh.
Back at the Shire they fell back into their old habits. Only thinking of the present and enjoying their time together. None aware of the separation that fast approached that would tear them apart, and put them through their hardest trial.
