A/N: Hey people! This is my second fanfic, I didn't think I would be writing any more, but I guess I am, I coudn't help it! I have a new character! Her name is Menelwen ( Mehn-ell-wehn). I had to tell you how to pronounce it because I hate when I can not pronounce the characters name, especially if its one of the main characters. And guess what it means? Celeste! haha Which means Heavenly. Well, hope you like it!
Chapter One:
The sun was shining through the curtains hitting Arwen's light face. Arwen hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran herself a warm bath. She was so excited she thought the morning would never come. She placed some oils in the bath, which filled the room with heavenly fragrances. The hot water against her skin made her relax. She wish she would relax her nerves. Today was the day Legolas returned, from his long trip. Arwen dearly missed him. She had no one to talk to except for Menelwen. They were close friends, Arwen could tell her anything.
She washed her body and climbed out of the bath. Arwen searched her closet for a light color dress to wear on the wonderful spring day.
Legolas and Arwen were best friends. She couldn't remember how long they've been friends, but it's been for a very long time! She was so excited; she was finally going to see Legolas, after his absence of almost six months. Arwen finally finished putting on her light blue dress, and started making her way out her door. Arwen went to Menelwen's room to pick her up also. Menelwen is also a great friend of Legolas. They haven't been long friends like Arwen and him, but they were close. Menelwen came from Rivendell to Lorien to live with her father two years ago. Her father was a personal guard of Elrond. Elrond introduced Arwen to her and they became best friends since then. Menelwen was thin, slim and average height. She had long blonde hair that flowed to the middle of her back, and gray eyes. Her father always called them heavenly. Her skin was pale, and she was a very fragile elleth. . Menelwen was a lot younger then Arwen and Legolas, but not as if she was child, but close to it.
Arwen knocked on her door.
"Coming!" Yelled a small voice from inside.
"Menelwen, hurry!" anticipated Arwen.
Menelwen opened the door, and Arwen stepped in. Arwen saw she was half dressed.
"What are you doing? Your not fully dressed," asked Arwen.
"I'm sorry, Arwen." said Menelwen rushing to pick out a dress.
Arwen walked over to her bed, noticing all the dresses she owned sprawled all over the bed.
"I'm guessing you didn't know what to wear." said Arwen moving her stuff aside so she can sit down.
"Oh yes, I'm sorry for the mess." yelled Menelwen coming from the other room.
She now had on a light green dress that made her look much older. Her light hair was still wet from her bath.
"I cannot wait to see Legolas! To finally hear his voice again." Laughed Menelwen.
Arwen looked at her in fustration. She wanted to hurry and be on her way to see Legolas.
"Lets hurry!" said Arwen, grabbing Menelwen's hand and pulling her out the door.
Arwen and Menelwen hurried to the front gates of Lorien. There she saw Lord Elrond, and Menelwen's father, and many other important elves.
"Where is he?" Asked Menelwen tugging on Arwen's dress, as if a child begging to be carried.
Arwen looked out at the distance and saw his shining glow. Arwen's countenance changed into mere happiness. Menelwen waved to Legolas. He spotted them and waved back. Arwen saw Legolas' face expression and broke out in laughter. Aragorn was beside him. His face was hard, and what looked full of sadness. They both trotted on their horses to the gates. They hopped off and everyone cheered for their safe return. Legolas shook Elrond's hand' and was lead off to the hall. As he was being lead to the hall, Legolas looked back at Arwen who was becoming smaller, and gave her an apologetic smirk.
"I guess We'll have to see him later then." Said Menelwen.
"Not If I can help it." responded Arwen.
