EVERYONE MUST READ THIS NOTE!!!!!  Ok, sorry about that but I had to get everyone's attention somehow.  I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in practically forever but I was in the Grand Canyon for a week on a school trip, and then right when I got home I got sick, and it was Easter weekend and I had a lot to do for church, and a small problem with one of my best friends.  And now on top of all that I'm leaving tomorrow for Virginia.  Which means no internet.  Which means no posting.  I apologize profusely for that and I'm giving y'all a little preview of what's to come in the next chapter.  It's the very beginning of what I've already got written, just to keep everyone happy until I can get you up a real chapter.  I'm taking me computer and working on the story so I hope I'll get a lot done.  For now though I desperately need some advice.  I kinda sorta know where I want this to go, but I'm a bit at a lost as to how to get there or even exactly how I want it to turn out.  So I have some questions I would love for people to give me their opinion on.  I can't say I'm going to do precisely what everyone says but I would like to know the general opinion.  I don't have enough readers that I can afford to just completely disregard their wants because, well let's face it, if I love one or two I'm down to like 8 people who actually read this.  My goal is to keep everyone happy here.  Please, tell me what you think about these subjects:

1) How many of you REALLY do like Ana?  Does anyone seriously want her out of the story and someone new in her place or should I make sure that she ends up with Legolas at the end?

2) Does Ana need some competition for Legolas's affections or should it just be her alone?

3) I think I want to have Legolas and Ana move apart (just for a while so far!) and I need to figure out which of them decides to cool it.  I have an idea so far, but I'd like to know what everyone else thinks.

4) Is anyone seriously opposed to AU (and I mean REALLY REALLY AU-ness) because that has a major bearing on some new characters I want to bring in.

All right, I'll give whoever I think contributes the most helpful suggestions a part in my story if they so desire so I hope that spurs everyone on to review.  I love y'all, thanks for sticking with me through all this!  Without further ado, here is the preview!!!

Ana snorted haughtily at Aragorn and said, "Sulking doesn't become you, Estel.  Jealousy's really not your emotion."

The man looked taken aback at the fact that she had just read his mind.  He spluttered incomprehensibly, "You… you… I can't… Oh!"  He started off muttering under his breath, "Can't even think around here without someone prying into your mind."

Legolas was struggling not to burst out laughing at the scene that had played out before him.  Unfortunately it wasn't enough, because strangled gasps of laughter escaped through his lips.

Aragorn whirled back around to face his best friends and caught the look in Legolas's eye as he watched Ana giggle softly at the two of them and her little trick.  A smirk crossed his face.  He knew how to get revenge.

With all the dignity he could muster he swept over to Ana and bent over to whisper in her ear.  This made Legolas suspicious, but he couldn't help feeling admiration at her beauty.  The way her body shook when she laughed was so graceful, and her mirth brought the spark back to her eyes.  Against his will his eyes traveled down below her face and lacked on her chest.

Suddenly Ana's voice filled his mind and said sarcastically, "Come on, your highness, control your hormones.  My face is a few inches above where you're looking."

He felt himself blush a deep pink all the way to the tips of his ears as he slowly dragged his eyes up to meet hers.

Ana's breath seemed to be stuck in her lungs as the brilliant sapphire eyes met hers.  The world seemed to stand still around them as elf and sensor stared at each other, Aragorn completely forgotten.  Sparks seemed to fly between them.  Their souls joined, not being separate feelings or emotions, but blending into one mix of feelings.

Aragorn could practically feel the electricity charging through the air around him.  Obviously he had stumbled across them at the wrong time.  He slipped away as quietly as he could, although he doubted either of them would have noticed an earthquake.

The connection lasted for another minute before Ana was able to look away from the deadlock her eyes were trapped in.  It hit her then like a ton of bricks what was happening.  She was letting someone in; there was someone who might know as much about her as she did about herself.  This was exactly what her father had warned her about and told her not to do. 

Quickly she stood up and walked away, hurrying into the trees around her…

Remember everyone, review!  I know this was just a preview but I have those questions that desperately need answering unless you want this fic to wander aimlessly through Middle Earth going absolutely nowhere.  Please, please review!
