Disclaimer: Check out all my other chapters.

AN: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!! OH MY GOD! In a few days it s going to be my 6th month anniversary on this story! Can you believe that? AND this is the 20th chapter! So I am TOTALLY expecting a whole lot of reviews! I want to get to 60! And…. (this makes me a 'lil upset) I found out that lots of people read this story but don't review! What is the point of reading a story if you aren't going to review it? I mean besides the whole entertainment part. But still… Oh! And I am going to rewrite the first chapter over because when I wrote it, it had been going to be a comedy/parody type thing of a story but then it turned out that I didn't want it that way. Yeah…

So anyways! Please review. It really would make my day. Also I want to apologize profusely (is that the right word? I think it is. And be soo proud of me because I spelled it right and there wasn't even a red line under it! J) for how long it took me to get this chapter up. I know I know almost a whole month. But my computer is broken so I have to write this on my mom's blasted lap top, plus I have had HUGE writers block. And actually I still have it and the only reason I am writing this now is because the darling, oh so clever Tinuveil Undomiel and Nerwen Aldarion, authors of 10 Left Rivendell, have said that if I don't update this, they wont update theirs either. So I guess I have too….

SO IF THIS CHAPTER SUCKS BLAME THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT FORCED ME OUT OF MY WRITERS BLOCK EARLY!!!

:deep breath: Okay, I'm better now. LOL just kidding I love you guys! Oh by the way, you know the summary for this story and how much it sucks? Yeah, well I want it to be good. So could you all try and think a really good one? And I will use it. Thanks! Oh and I will send you the next chapter earlier than when I post it so you can have it first. If I choose yours I mean. Okay! Now onto the story (finally!)

P.s. You two (and you know who you are because I don't feel like writing your names ((I know I'm lazy and technically this whole thing is longer than both your names)) had better enjoy this)! Love you both!

Chapter 20 Before Class

Arwen felt so nervous walking out of the hall. Though she was amongst many of her friends, she still felt this way. She was about to enter the school for the first day. Sure that was enough to make her feel nauseous but on top of that this was also the first day everyone would see her and Aragorn as a couple. Since the fight last night, word had spread about the two and she knew everyone was talking about it.

Aragorn sensed Arwen's nervousness and slid his arm around her waist. She looked up and gave him a small smile. It was minimal but at least it reached her eyes, Aragorn thought.

"Excuse me."

Everyone turned. Elrond was standing there, looking closely at the couple.

"Arwen, I need to speak with you." He said. Arwen took in a shaky breath, fearing what it was he had to say to her. She nodded and stood by him.

"You all go on ahead. Tell Mr. Baggins I will be there shortly." She said regaining her composure.

Aragorn didn't move. He didn't want to leave her alone. He caught her eye, looking concerned. She gave him a small nod. He creased his brow but walked along with Eomer and everyone else anyways.

"Yes father?" Arwen asked. He sighed.

"Come with me." He said. Arwen didn't like his tone. He sounded disappointed, angry and then his usual calm manner all at the same time. He brought her into a cozy looking room. There was a desk with papers scattered all over it and a few chairs with books stacked on them. It looked like how her father's office did back at home, so she guessed that this was his office here. She took a seat on a chair in front of the desk and he sat behind it. They sat there for a few minutes in silence, him staring at her and her shifting uncomfortably under his gaze. Finally she decided to break this awkward moment.

"I suppose I am here because you have heard about Aragorn and I." Arwen said. Elrond's eyes flashed but then regained an unreal calm.

"Yes. I have." He said. Then, after he didn't say anything else, Arwen again started the conversation.

"Well? What do you have to say?" she asked him impatiently. He looked up at her, clearly angry.

"How about, how could you Arwen?! He is a mortal! You cannot spend the rest of eternity with a mortal! He will die eventually! And Arwen, they are lower than us. So much lower! You deserve better. What happened to Glorfindel? He tells me you have broken up with him. He is such a wonderful lord, definitely worthy of your beauty." He said.

"How can you say Men are lower than us? That is so prejudice Ada, I never expected to hear such a thing from your mouth. And Glorfindel may be a wonderful elf, but he is just not someone I want to spend the rest of my life with!"

"Oh and Aragorn is?" he asked her. She considered this for a moment.

"Quite possibly. If he will have me." She said with more bravery in her voice than she felt. She had never talked to her father this way before.

He made a disbelieving sound. "Arwen! Come to your senses. You have always been the bright one out of you and your brothers. You know this won't work." He said.

"It worked for Luthien and Beren."

"You call dying as a mortal working!?" he asked her standing up quickly.

"She loved him!"

"And how would you know?"

"I'm her latest descendant! And I know what she went through. I love Aragorn." Arwen said.

"How can you?" he asked warily. "You've only known him for a few months."

"Luthien loved Beren the moment she saw him!"

"Why do we keep going back to her?" He asked shaking his and walking over to a window that faced the East.

"Because it is important."

"Arwen, you can't do this. I won't let you."

"This is not you choice!" Arwen said standing up as well.

"You are my daughter! You are Arwen Undomiel daughter of Elrond lord of Rivendell and Celebrian of Lothlorien. You are the princess of Imladris. You deserve better. And what if you do spend the rest of your life with him? You wont come over to Valinor ever. You will never see your mother again."

"Don't you dare bring her into this!" Arwen said, her eyes flashing. " And what if I don't want your better? What if I want Aragorn, who to me is the best there is?" she asked him angrily. Elrond remained silent, saying nothing and staring out the window.

"Ada?" she asked him timidly. When he still didn't reply, she just sighed annoyed, grabbed her bag, and sauntered out of the room.

Aragorn walked with his friends to Language Arts. He was worried. Elrond hadn't exactly given him a friendly look when he saw him. And now Arwen was with him. He was scared as well. What if Elrond convinced her to go back to Glorfindel and not be with him anymore? Valar, he didn't know what he would do if that happened. He cared for her so much his heart hurt just thinking about it.

"Are you alright Aragorn?" Eomer asked him.

"Yes." He said.

"Liar." Elladan said. Aragorn looked at him. His foster brother knew him so well. Telepriel walked up and linked her arm with his.

"I'm sorry about earlier Aragorn. I'm just worried about Arwen. But now I'm worried about you. Are you alright?"

He sighed. "Honestly? No, not exactly. It's not exactly great falling in love with someone and not having their parents agree with it."

"You love her?" Telepriel said with a grin. Aragorn looked down realizing what he has said. Wow, he did love her. And he finally had said it out loud.

"Yes. I do." He said, blushing despite of himself. Telepriel shrieked with joy, Elladan smiled and Eomer patted his friend on the shoulder. Then they reached the classroom. The entrance was a big wooden door way with red drapes tied to the side to reveal a class room. Bilbo stood outside with a giant grin on his face.

"Bilbo!" Merry and Pippin yelled together as they reached their friend.

"Hello lads!" he said embracing them in a hug. Aragorn, Telepriel, Elladan, and Eomer bowed politely to their teacher.

"Oh come on now, no need for that nonsense! Come on inside! I'm very excited, it's my first class you know." He said leading them in.

There were tables sat out in no particular order, and plain wooden chairs with them. Shelves lined the walls with books and bottles of paint and pain brushes on them. There were objects there as well that were obviously foreign, as they were all very beautiful or very odd looking. The 6 friends all took seats. The hobbits took seats near the front of the room by Bilbo's desk so they could be nearer him. The rest of them sat at a round table to the side of the room.

"Well I think that I nearly everyone." Bilbo said. A bell rang. "Ah and there is the bell to start. Welcome everyone, to your very first language arts class! Here you will be learning the art of the common tongue, as well as how different cultures have changed and molded it to fit themselves. You will learn proper grammar, spelling, how to write captivating stories, and learn much about our world through literature." Through all of this he had a huge grin on his face.

"I know all of this sounds dreadfully boring, but I promise you it will be most enlightening and I will do my best to make it as entertaining as possible." He said as he hopped up on a stool. "Now everyone, if you will all please go choose a book from one of the shelves, that would be wonderful. You will be reading that book and writing a report on it in 3 weeks."

Aragorn got up and went over to see what books there were. There were history books, sciences, fables, romances, many things. He looked through lots of them, looking for one that interested him, while others who found a book that they wanted to read, went and sat down and started to read it. He chose a book on the building of the White City and went and sat back down.

Telepriel and Elladan were already there, with their books in front of them not open. They were leaning very close to each other (Elladan had his arm around her waist) and talking. Elladan said something and giggled, then looked up when he noticed Aragorn joining the table. He cleared his throat and Telepriel and him each picked up their books and began "reading".

"Elladan, your book is upside down." Aragorn whispered to his friend, hiding a smile. Elladan face turned slightly pink and turned the book the right way.

"Boo."

Aragorn jumped slightly and turned. Arwen stood behind me with a small smile playing on her lips. Despite that, she looked slightly rattled and she was doing her best to hide it, but not enough for him not to notice. Arwen sat down next to him.

"What'd I miss?" she asked.

"Go choose a book from off the shelves to read and write a report on." Telepriel said to her friend. Arwen nodded and went to get one.

"Is it just me or does she look a little paler?" Telepriel said. Elladan said and his eyes hardened.

"Ada." He muttered. "If her upset her, in anyway…"

"I got a book on Ents. Should be interesting." Arwen said as she joined the table again.

"How'd it go?" Telepriel asked Arwen, who sat her book on the table. Arwen looked at her friend, begging her with her eyes not to press the subject.

"I got a book on old runes." Telepriel said changing the subject. Arwen sighed and thanked her with her eyes. Aragorn and Elladan however, did not see this exchange and still wanted to know what happened between Arwen and her father.

"Arwen, what happened with you and Ada?" Elladan asked. Telepriel kicked him under the table. "What?"

"Nothing happened. We just talked." Arwen said, picking up her book and attempting to read it.

"Talked about what?" Elladan said.

"What do you think?" Arwen said not looking up.

"Was it about you and Aragorn?"

"YES! Now will you please be quiet? I am trying to read."

"Fine, fine." Elladan said.

They spent the rest of the hour reading and then learning the 'I before E' rule. Then the bell rang and they went off to their next class. As they walked out the door, Aragorn put his arm around Arwen's shoulders. She stiffened.

"Are you okay?" he asked her.

The truth was, Arwen wasn't okay. Everything her father had said was still running through her mind. She knew it wasn't true, or at least she thought she did. Sher eally loved him but… a lot of the things Elrond had said made sense. Maybe she would have some time to think in her next class.

"Yes, I'm fine."
