Chapter 35

A Little Help

I was bored. I mean really. Everybody had like a best friend, or was married, and then there was me. Totally unfair. Well, I thought maybe I would just wander around aimlessly for a while. I walked into the library, and Faramir was in there. He didn't notice me due to the fact that he was talking to himself.

I took a seat and watched him sort of mutter, and wave his hands around, until he noticed me.

"How long have you been there?"

"Long enough to know that you talk to yourself."

"I wasn't talking to myself…" then it looked as if an idea had dawned on him, I half expected a light bulb to turn on, but more than likely that would happen to Aragorn if he had an idea.

"You know Eomer right?"

I knew what this was about.

"No! I don't meddle in the love affairs of my friends, or even strangers! Trust me; it doesn't work out too well." I was thinking about when Emily and I had tried to get J.D. (juvenile delinquent) and Alyssa back together.

"Please? You just have to put in a good word."

I thought for a second. But just a second.

"Fine. This is the only time. But remember, I warned you, I'm no match maker."

"Thank you!" he ran up to me and gave me a hug.

He gave me a hug.

I practically floated around Minas Tirith, just trying to find Eomer.

When I found Eomer, Eowyn was pleading with him.

"He really is a good person, Eomer."

"He's a Gondorian, you should marry one of the Rohirrim."

"Aragorn is of Gondor, but yet you would let me marry him."

"Aragorn is different."

"How so?"

"I said so Eowyn, and you have to listen to me."

Eowyn stomped her foot, and looked like she would smack Eomer, I was half hoping she would, but she just turned and walked out.

He sighed and shook his head.

"Eomer? I mean, King Eomer, I am not going to get over everyone becoming kings and princes at once." I said

He sort of laughed, and then asked me what I wanted.

"Well, I am hear to talk to you about…"

"Faramir, right?" he sighed. "I will never hear the end of this."

"Then, why don't you just let Eowyn marry him?"

He glared at me.

"That's not what I mean."

"Faramir is a good guy."

"Eowyn isn't going to marry a Gondorian."

All of a sudden something in my mind clicked.

"I know why you won't let her marry him."

"Really? Enlighten me."

"You don't want to lose your sister. It's so simple! You think that if Eowyn marries Faramir, and lives in Ithillien, you won't ever see her again. And the fact that you and Théodred had been the only boys in her life, and you don't like the fact that Eowyn's growing up."

"So what?"

"Have you even talked to Faramir?"

"…"

"I thought so, look, if you just talk to him. I'm sure you'll like him."

He snorted.

"Please? Just one conversation, that's all I ask. I will quit bugging you, and I'll talk to Eowyn and Faramir. Just one CIVIL conversation, okay?"

"Fine."

"Good."

"Tonight, one conversation. That's all. And we can't talk about Eowyn."

"Fine, I'll tell him."

And then I walked back, wondering if Faramir would give me another hug for this.

Lookie for the next chapter, now that my books and CDs are rescued!
