Gimli and Galadriel's Journals
By Sashi Mizumoto
A/N: Well, I decided. I'll add one extra chapter to this story, and it will still be a journal entry. However, it won't be Gimli's or Galadriel's! It will be someone else who sees the behavior of these two little lovebirds. X3 I guess you could maybe call it a bonus chapter. For now, we'll see how it goes.
Chapter 3: Gimli's Journal
Gimli sat against a large oak tree, a warm breeze blowing ever so lightly. He closed his eyes for a few seconds, inhaling the sweet scent of the morning dew and the leaves. He realized now was the best time to write in his journal, while his memories and mind were still clear. Also before he fell asleep. He was that comfortable.
Dear Journal,
I cannot do it. Its morning, the sun has risen, and I am the second one to wake from my deep sleep. Galadriel was the first. She was standing in front of the large lake, and the sun gave it a beautiful and serene glow. I slowly walked over to the angel standing before me, gave her a grin, and waved enthusiastically. Galadriel gave me a warm smile as a hello and I could feel a small blush come to my cheeks. I quickly brushed it off, feeling incredibly stupid. Galadriel must have noticed it though, as she let out a small giggle. Her giggle stabbed my heart and my ears; the noise was so harmonious and divine. I felt my face redden and I started to walk away, for I did not want her to see me like this. However, Galadriel made a small movement of protest by reaching out to grab my hand. I moved rather abruptly to talk to her, yet I accidentally pushed her into the lake. Immediately, though not really wanting to, I started to laugh. Not a small giggle or chuckle, but a large and booming chortle. Galadriel was looking at me as if I was an odd creature, yet I was not bothered by this! I continued to laugh, and Galadriel finally joined in. Feeling bad about pushing her in, I walked over to help her out of the lake. Instead, with a smirk and glimmering eyes, she took my rough hand and pulled me in! I flipped over her, and fell head first into the glittering water. When I swam back to the top, Galadriel had already gotten out and had tried to calm her laughing. I let out a chuckle as well, and walked out, looking like I had elephant skin, my clothes were hanging off me so much. Galadriel, however, looked perfect, with tears of water falling down her cheek gracefully. As we sat under a nearby tree, trying to get dry and watching the lake, I talked to Lady Galadriel, and snuck in the fact that I would be leaving today, to see if she cared. I think she did, for her eyes flickered ever so slightly...
Gimli closed his journal and let out a sigh.He felt regret weigh heavily on his heart at not being able to tell her his real feelings, but perhaps it was for the best. If he were leaving today, he would never see her again. Then, he would be able to forget about her. Eventually…
End of Chapter 3: Gimli's Journal
A/N: Well, the story is almost completely reedited. This didn't take that long actually. Moreover, I can't wait to write the bonus chapter! Be prepared!
