Chapter 9 The Party

Buffy was woke up by the door opening. She smiled when she saw Arwen and Arwen smiled back. "It is good that you are awake so I did not have to wake you. For I am here to help you bathe and dress for the party tonight. My name is Arwen and I am the daughter of Arwen. I understand that you are the granddaughter of Gandalf."

Buffy nodded and sat up on the side of the bed. "Yes, that is right. My name is Buffy. It's really nice to meet you Arwen." Buffy got up and walked around stretching her legs for better movement.

Their was a knock on the door and it was open to let two male elves bring in a tub and a herd of girls bringing in buckets of cold and hot water. Once they were done they left asking if they needed anything. "No, thank you, we shall not need of your service for now." Arwen said in elvish. She turned back to Buffy. "Get in the tub and I'm going to get your dress from my room and I shall help you get dress and do your hair for you if you like." Buffy nodded and Arwen walked out the door.

Buffy got in and sighed at the warm sensation that washed over her. She grabs the soap washed her hair and body quickly before Arwen got back. She got out, dried off with the towel and put on the shift that Arwen left on the bed for her.

Arwen came back in. "Well that was fast." She held up a gone of a soft light blue. "Gandalf had this made for you when he showed up. Knowing that you're probably needed a gown for parties." Two other elves came in carrying what looked to be a lot of undergarments and hair things to Buffy.

The elves organized the articles out on the bed. Arwen grabbed the corset and held it up. "Hold up your arms so I can put it on you."

Buffy looked at the corset like it was an alien. "Do I have to wear that? I mean I never wore a corset before at home."

Arwen looked at her. "Yes. You have to wear it because it goes with the dress and it is the fashion here. It would wrong if you didn't and even scandalous to others if someone doesn't."

Buffy nodded, turned around and held up her arms. Arwen put the corset up and started tightening up the strings with a great effort. After about ten minutes of being tortured by being squeezed to death by the corset strings, Buffy had the underskirts and the gown on. "How do you guys breathe in these?" She asked taking a deep of breathe that she could. She looked down at herself. "This gown is really pretty. "

Arwen nodded. "It is. It suits your complexion. Now sit down so I can do your hair up." Arwen got started on her hair. "Did Gandalf tell you that you are to dance with only the people who are wearing your same color? It's kind of like a game seeing who how many people are wearing the same color as you."

"Nope" Buffy said watching the in the mirror as Arwen put up her hair in an erratic design on top of her head. "He just told that I was going to attend the party tonight. No details what so ever."

Arwen nodded. "Well you probably would have figured it out after awhile I bet. My dad did that to me once not really telling me about the party. I was shocked when I was herded by all the people in green."

Buffy laughed and they talked for awhile.

Later that evening.

Aragorn and Legolas were standing in the corner. Aragorn wearing red and Legolas wearing a light blue. They were both looking for two girls that haven't showed up yet.

"So what colors do you think that they are wearing?" Aragorn asked looking about.

"Knowing our luck they are wearing pink and green." Legolas said looking around also.

There was a great silence as two beautiful women walked in. One in red and the other in light blue, the royal colors. There were murmurs around the room of who the blonde woman was. Only very few people knew who she was.

Gandalf walked towards the door and turned towards the crowd. "This here is my Granddaughter, Buffy Summers. I hope you all will welcome she just came out of a great ordeal yesterday. And Gentleman do not wear her out." He walked away allowing other elves and humans that were visiting for the council step forward.

Buffy smiled at all the guys and looked at Arwen. "I see what you mean by shocking." They giggled and looked over looking for two people and saw them coming forth. Buffy gave Aragorn a hug when he came back. Heya there big guy. You hurt her, I hurt you." She pulled away a grinned at his expression. She then turned to Legolas. "Lord Legolas it is nice to see you again."

He smiled at her. "Well it is definitely a nice pleasure to see you again, Lady Buffy. "

Buffy blushed slightly at his look. "It's just Buffy. No lady or anything like that. Hmm Arwen told me about the dancing rule, and since we are wearing the same color would you like to dance?" Buffy looked up at him.

"Aye, I would love to dance with." Boldly he leaned down. "But how do you want to dance." He whisper in her ear and smiled when he saw her blush. He took her arm and followed Aragorn and Arwen on the dance floor.

The couples danced for hours before Gandalf approached Buffy. "Buffy, dearest, I would like to talk to you if that is alright?"

Buffy looked at him and nodded. "Excuse me." She said to Legolas and walked with Gandalf towards Elrond's office. "Granddad what's wrong you look worried."

"Buffy I need to ask and explain some thing to you if that is alright with you, I'll wait a little longer if you are not up to it."

Buffy nodded. "I'm fine but what is this about. I will not tell you what is going to happen I already told you that."

He sighed. "I wish it was that because this is going to be hard to explain and maybe for you to under stand. My first question has your mother ever told you about your father."

Buffy raised an eyebrow. "No. She didn't tell me because I knew Hank all of my life."

"I'm sorry to tell you this but Hank was not really your father. Yes, he was there when you were born because your mother met him while she was pregnant. He thinks that you are his because he didn't know she was pregnant with you when he meet her. The only reason he thinks that you are his is because you were born nine months after him meeting your mother. So the math worked out nicely."

"I don't get it. If I was born after nine months of their meeting wouldn't that be about right for me to get conceived." Buffy turned red at that thought and shook her head clear.

"When elves conceives it takes about twelve to thirteen months to bear a child. When your mother went to earth she was two months pregnant with you." Gandalf waited for Buffy to think this over.

She gasped. "Are you saying that my real father is an elf? Because if you are then why am I so short and tiny in structure I thought elves were suppose to be tall."

"Yes, I am saying that your father is an elf. I do not know who it is. This means that you are half-Elvin."

"What does it mean to be half-Elvin?" She asked thinking how her life could be so screwed up.

"Being half-Elvin gives you a choice in what you want to be. You can choose the mortal life and become human or you can choose the immortal life and live throughout the ages. The only way you could die was to be mortally wounded or from unbearable grief."

"When do I have to choose these decisions? This is kind of hard to understand and to make a decision right away." She said swallowing.

"You don't have to make a choice right this moment. Take the time to think over what you want to do. There is no rush. Oh but there is one thing your ageing will slow down gradually until what you decide to do."

Gandalf went over to a tray that had been sitting there and poured both of them some tea. Buffy accepted the tea and stared at it, wondering what to do. "Is this all you want to talk to me about?"

"What do you think of Prince Legolas? I saw you staring at him earlier. I thinks that he is taken with you also."

Buffy grinned thinking about Legolas. "He's definitely something to look at. I mean major hottie. Orlando Bloom didn't even look that good."

"Orlando Bloom? Who is that, if I may ask?"

"What? Oh he played the part of Legolas in the movies that are being made. They are working on the third part of the film right now when we left. I'm definitely going to see that when it comes out to see how much they changed. They didn't put Tom Bombadil in the first movie and that sucked because I thought he was awesome."

"I thought you said you weren't going to tell me anything on what happened."

"What? Oh… Well that's already happen so it won't be affect the flow of time." She said with the shrug of her shoulders.

"Okay I have another question for you. Who was suppose to take the sword in the should up on Weathertop? From what Aragorn saw that they were heading towards the far corner and you ran in front of the wraiths."

"Frodo was supposed to be stabbed by the blade of the enemy. Now don't look at me like that. I know that I screwed up that part of the history, but that is what I do. I save people without thought. I f I would have thought about the consequences I might not have done it but I was in slayer mode. When I am in slayer mode, I just make sure that nobody gets hurt and do what ever it takes to make sure that they won't. In Sunnydale, I took punches and scratches for all my friends even though I was hurt then. It's the way my mind takes things. If someone dies on my watch then I failed. I no one dies then I passed."

Gandalf nodded in understanding. "Okay. I understand that. Well let's get back to the party. I'm sure Legolas is absolutely bored with out you there. For he hasn't left your side since you walked through the door. All of the available maidens are jealous of you for holding his attention. There are even gentlemen that are jealous of him for keeping your attention all evening."

Buffy laughed as they walked in the door. She was surrounded by men, as honey attracts bees. Boromir was one of the admirers. She walked over to him to talk but Legolas was at her side in an instant. He got glares as he tried to pull her onto the dance floor.

"I think that it is our turn to dance with the lady, elf. You danced with her most of the night already." Boromir said grabbing her other arm. "It's someone else's turn with her."

Legolas glared at him. Yanking Buffy's arm away from Boromir, he pulled her against his body to get her away from him. "And you think that the next someone should be you. Ha… why would she dance with you, a mere mortal and a son of a steward, when she can dance with me, an elf and a prince?"

Buffy eyes widened at that. She couldn't believe that they would actually fight over a silly dance. She pulled away from Legolas and stepped away from him. When he looked at her, she glared. "Lord Boromir is right. I have danced with you plenty. I for one don't want to dance with someone who scorns others and thinks he better than everyone else." She turned to Boromir and held out her arm. "I for one would love to dance with you." She smiled when he took her arm. She ignored Legolas as touched her arm.

Legolas sighed. Damn it. I screwed that one up. He looked up at the touch on his shoulder, Gandalf was standing there.

"Don't worry, Prince. You will still have a chance but you have to stop looking down on others. Buffy is form a land were all are equal in the same way. They still have their feuds but it as not widespread there as it is here. She doesn't understand the differences in people, let alone different types of people."

Legolas nodded and started to wonder were Buffy was from where so many people got along in a equal way. He watched as Boromir swept her across the room. Angered at the thought of anyone trying to take her form him. He stopped, wondering when he started to think of her as his.

For the rest of that night he just watched her and glared at everyone. He walked her back to her rooms after the dance to make sure she got there safely. He was wondering what was going to happen. He liked her and he also knew that his father would not approve of her because she was a mortal and of the race of men, even though she was the granddaughter of Gandalf.

I hope you all like this. Sorry about taking awhile to update. I'll try to update my others soon. Please r\r. Please let me know if there are any mistakes and if there is anything that you see wrong. I will also like suggestions on to how you think some of the things take place.

Thanks,
