She stared out the window onto the beauty that was Minas Tirith. She paced her room, her breath slowly inhaing and exhailing as she opened the door slowly. She was about to step out into the hall when someone slightly shorter than her ran into her. Vardahir was knocked to the ground, and as she stood up, she saw the warm face of her mother's handmaiden Elanor.

"Terribly sorry, Mi'Lady! I did not know you were there! Oh, my! Your dress!" She frantically tried to unruffle it.

"NO no, it's fine, Elanor," she said soothingly. "Why were you in such a rush?"

"You don't know?" Elanor seemed slightly shocked, but straightened herself and suddenly seemed like someone with a secret to be well kept.

"What?" Vardahir said amused. "What is father hiding?" Her elvish intuition was strong that it was her father, King Aragorn hiding something.

"Nothing...nothing," The Hobbit said in true Gamgee fashion, "But I will warn you, my Dear." she looked at her dress, "I would put something...fancier..on." WIth that she started to leave.

"Wait! Wait! Elanor!" Vardahir cried, but she was already gone downstairs. She tried to catch Elanor by meeting her at the foot of the steps, but when she hit the last stair, her father was waiting for her.

"Hello, darling," He said slightly stiffly, but with a hint of softness she rarely saw of him in public.

"Father," she said shyly. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"Nothing," He said softly. "Only my happiness for you."

She stared at him. 'Wha..what?"

"It's been decided that you are to wed Berenthomir of Gondor, your engagment effective in three days." He smiled at her.

Vardahir wanted to scream in protest, but as she started, the doors of the castle flew open and there stood, on two gorgeous horses, Brandy and Danny, both smiling at Vardahir.

"Vardy!" Brandy smiled. "How are you?"

Vardahir made a fake smile and turned to stare at her father, who was looking slightly embarrassed but still kingly nonetheless.

"Brandy, I don't know what I'm to do. I want to marry him, yet I don't. I'm only 17, and your what 17 as well. I don't see you and Danny getting married anytime soon." Vardahir said, she was pacing back in forth in her room. Everynow and then she would stop and look out her window and make sure Berethor wasn't coming up the steps.

"Vardahir, just take it easy hun. Everything will be fine. Just tell him...you don't want to wed yet. That simple. I'm sure he'll understand." Brandy said stanidng up and stoppin Vardahir, he pacing was driving Brandy up the wall. Danny just leaned up against a corner wall, playing with his hat. Vardahir, just shook her head.

"No, Berethor might understand, but dad won't. I don't see what his problem is?" she said sittting down in the chair by the open window. She slumped down and rest her head in her hands. "I just don't want to get married. Yes, I love Berethor, but it's just to soon." Brandy smiled and sat on the bed. There was nothing more she could do to help her friend. Danny came and sat down next to her. He gave Brandy a smile and then paused. Just as he looked towards the door, it came flying open.

"M'lady..Lord Berethor is here to see you. Should I tell him your coming, or send him up here?" Elanor said nervously. Vardahir looked at her.

"Send him up here I guess." she said faintly. Brandy ran and closed the doors and the small hobbit left.

"Are you going to fix yourself up..you're a mess." she said helping her up. She then drug Vardahir to the bathroom and fixed her hair, quickly. Just as they came back into the room, a knock came from the door. Brandy motioned for Danny to answer it. He got up and put his hat on. Then, he opened the two giant doors. Sure enough, there was Berethor. He smiled and nodded to Danny. Danny then closed the doors back and locked them. Making sure Vardahir's lil brother Theodor didn't come bardging in. He was a couple years younger than her and very annoying. Danny then came and sat back down on the bed. Vardahir stood there smiling at Berethor. Brandy moved towards Danny and held his hand.

Sorry it was kind of short, but the next chap will be longer! See you then! RB and Auzzie K!
