Disclaimer: Jeez you already know what this is why do I have to explain it?
AN: I am SO SORRY that the last chapter was so short but I really wanted to get something out! But I have decided I should just take my time and write longer chapters, then you guys can enjoy them more, what do you think? Good idea? No? Review and tell me please.
Also, I'm afraid currently Eowyn may be using poor, poor Faramir currently, CURENTLY. Remember that. She only is right now, hopefully later she won't be. Trust me; she'll warm up to him. Well R&R everyone, it would be much appreciated! Thanks (ppsstttt isn't that face so cute!?) Oh and I have 31 reviews, lets try and get it up to 40! That'd be great! Oh, and in the next few chapters Glorfindel is going to be quite rude, so I am saying now that I am sorry to all of you who like Glorfindel. But he is only like this in THIS story; in my other ones he is very nice.
Chapter 18 A dance, a song, and a fight
"Aragorn, may I ask exactly what it is that you are doing?" said a voice from behind Aragorn and Arwen. They stopped dancing and turned. Elladen was standing there.
"Why, I'm dancing with the most beautiful woman in the room of course." Aragorn said smiling at Arwen. Elladen looked at them suspiciously.
"Uh-huh…" he said raising an eyebrow.
"What do you want Elladen or can I get back to dancing?" Arwen said staring at her brother.
"Arwen I'm just being the over protective brother you always accuse me of being." He said. Arwen sighed.
"Alright, alright I'm leaving." Elladen said.
"Thank you!" Arwen said. Elladen then rolled his eyes and walked away.
"He is so odd." Aragorn said. Arwen giggled and snuggled her face into his neck. He wrapped his arms around her as a slow dance started.
"I am very happy that you said yes my lady." Faramir said as he led Eowyn to the dance floor.
"It's Eowyn." She said distantly. She was looking away at the other side of the dance floor.
"Alright Eowyn." Faramir said pulling her towards him. She looked up at him and smiled. Faramir thought she had a beautiful smile. Then a slow song started to play. They each started to move across the floor with Eowyn stepping on his feet quite a bit.
"I'm so sorry Faramir, I am just not a very good dancer I'm afraid." She said. He smiled at her.
"It's alright. What are you good at?" He asked her as they continued dancing.
"Sword play, singing, and I think I'm pretty good at cooking." she said.
"Cooking, really? Perhaps you can cook for me sometime." He said. Eowyn blushed, but was flattered that anyone would want her to cook for them. Then she realized that really she should be flattered that he has asked her to dance.
She looked up at him. He really was quite handsome. He had light brown hair that went to his chin, and his face was clean shaven. His eyes were a bright blue that sparkled every time he smiled. He smiled a lot, every time she said something in fact. She thought that was nice.
Then she looked over Faramir's shoulder. There was Arwen and Aragorn. They were slow dancing while they whispered things into each other's ears. This made Eowyn want to scream. She slowly danced her way with Faramir over to where they were.
Aragorn saw Eowyn and a man moving their way over to him and Arwen. HE rolled his eyes. Would she never give up? Arwen saw him roll his eyes and asked him what was wrong.
"Eowyn." He said nodding his head to the couple. Arwen smiled.
"She is just infatuated with you. And I can see why." She said reaching up and brushing some hair off his face.
He said "You are wonderful," to her just as Eowyn and the man made their way over to them. As they were dancing Eowyn smiled at them. Aragorn politely nodded his head towards her. Faramir said something to her and she started laughing, probably a little loudly and a little too much. She was obviously showing off. Arwen sighed.
"Poor girl. Doesn't she realize is only embarrassing herself?" she said quietly to Aragorn. He shook his head.
"I guess not." He said.
Faramir looked at Eowyn. She was laughing really loud. What in the world was going on with her? Oh well it must just be her laugh. He didn't care if she had a weird laugh, she was nice and beautiful. He kept dancing with her.
Aragorn and Arwen tired of dancing and went and sat down at a table where Telepriel, Eomer, Lothiriel, Elladen, Elrohir, Legolas, and two hobbits, Merry and Pippin, were. The humans and elves were laughing at a song the hobbits had begun to sing as they stood on the table arms link. The audience clapped along with them as they sang, taking turns singing the verses.
"A dragon has come to our village today
now, we have asked him to leave, he will not go away
Now he has met with our king and they worked out a deal
No homes will he burn and no crops will he steal
Now there is but one catch, we dislike it a bunch
Twice a year he invites him a virgin to lunch
We have no other choice so the deal we respect
But we cannot help but wonder and pause to reflect
Do virgins taste better than those who are not
Are they salty or sweeter, more juicy or what?
Do you savor them slowly; gulp them down on the spot?
Do virgins taste better than those who are not?"
They paused at this letting the crowd laugh. Then Pippin said "This is the dragon's side."
"Now we would like to be shed you and many have tried
But no one can get through your thick scaly hide
We hope that someday some brave knight will come by
'Cause we cannot wait around till you are too fat to fly"
"You have such good taste in your women for sure
They are always pretty and they are always pure
But your notion of dining, it makes us all flinch
For your favorite entrée is barbecued wench
We have found a solution, it works out so neat
If you insist on nothing but virgins to eat
No more will our number ever grow small…"
The hobbits said letting that last line hang before saying together…..
"We shall simply make sure there are no virgins at all!"
Everyone at the table roared with laughter.
"Where in the world did you come by that song?" Lothiriel asked between gasps as she held her side from laughing so hard. Merry and Pippin only smiled, pleased with themselves. Elladen and Elrohir looked at each other and then grinned at the hobbits.
"I have a feeling we are going to be great friends." Elrohir said to the hobbits. Arwen rolled her eyes as she and Aragorn's at down with Telepriel.
"Just what we need, more trouble makers." Telepriel muttered under her breath to the couple.
"Hey, I heard that." Elladen said.
"Yeah? And what are you going to do about it?" she asked giving him her best defiant stare.
"Force you to dance with me of course. I have been asking you all night and all you have done is say no. And now that your so called boyfriend had gone off with some maiden form Mirkwood, and you've just been rude to me, I'd say you owe me a dance, isn't that right Elrohir?" Elladen asked his brother.
"Yes it is my lady." He answered.
"Oh goodness you will never give up will you?" Telepriel asked putting her head in her hands.
"No I will not." Elladen said walking up to her and putting his hand out for her. She eyed it warily.
"Oh go on Telep." Arwen said. Telepriel rolled her eyes and sighed, but took his hand none the less, and went off to dance with him.
"It's about time she let herself give into me brothers charm." Elrohir said.
"Oh you hush." Arwen said, and then turned to Lothiriel. "Have you been enjoying yourself so far?"
"Oh yes, very much." She said. Eomer sat next to her and his arm was around her shoulders. Arwen smiled, they looked nice together.
"Here you all." Elrohir said. He handed Aragorn, Legolas, and Eomer a glass with a drink in it.
"What is it?" Eomer asked.
"Wine." Elrohir said simply, drinking his own down. "My special wine. It's very good."
"Elrohir, why is it that you never let me have any wine?" Arwen asked.
"Because it is very strong wine."
"So?"
"And you are a woman. Arwen we've been over this many times before already!" Elrohir exclaimed. Arwen then hit him on his shoulder.
"Elrohir, if I can spar with you and WIN, I'm sure that I can handle you wine. Now, me and Lothiriel demand some, isn't that right Lothiriel?" Arwen asked her expectantly.
"Uh, sure." She answered. Elrohir sighed but went and got both the women his wine anyways.
When he came back, he handed them the wine. They took a sip and their faces puckered a little but they drank it down nonetheless.
"See I can handle strong things, can't I Aragorn?" Arwen said turning to him, the only problem was he wasn't there. "Wha- where did he go?" she asked, but her questioned was answered as the party heard loud voices coming from outside the tent. Two voices, belonging to two people Arwen knew very well.
"Oh goodness…" she muttered before standing up and heading to the entrance of the tent. Her friends followed her.
Outside stood Aragorn and Glorfindel.
"Just tell me, are you courting her?" Glorfindel yelled at Aragorn.
"I don't see how that's any of you business."
"ARE YOU?!?" Glorfindel yelled stepping closer to him.
"Yes." Aragorn said staring back at Glorfindel, not breaking the gaze. Glorfindel grunted and glared at Aragorn.
"Well women are only useful for one thing you know?" he said giving a horrid wink. "So I'm afraid Arwen won't be any use to you now. I "deflowered" her long ago." He said and Aragorn swung at him.
AN: Well what do you think? Did you like the song? It isn't mine it is J.R.R. Tolkine's of course. I know the ending was sort of lame, sorry about that. But please still REVIEW!! I love you all! J
