More and more fanfare builds up until Aragorn steps on Carpet and floats down to step in front of Elrond. Saruman slams the door shut And Glorfindel stands not to far away just watching and listening.
"Splendid absolutely marvellous" Elrond applauded Aragorn.
"Ahem. My Lord Elrond, I have journeyed from afar to seek your daughter's hand." Aragorn said while shaking Elrond's hand.
"Prince Estel Elessar, of course I'm delighted to meet you. This is the Captain of my guards and close friend Glorfindel and my royal adviser, Saruman." Elrond said.
"Ecstatic to meet you" Saruman said dryly. "I'm afraid, Prince Elessenet"
"Elessar." Aragorn corrected him.
"Whatever. You cannot just parade in here uninvited and expect t-" Glorfindel interrupted him.
"By vala, this is quite a remarkable device." He said looking at carpet.
"Yes this is carpet. I almost forgot to introduce my cousin and adviser Legolas Greenleaf." ignoring Aragorn's cousin Saruman continued with his questions while Glorfindel studied carpet.
"Just where did you say you were from?" Saruman said.
"Oh, much farther than you've travelled, I'm sure." Aragorn smiled at him.
"Try me." Glorfindel stopped the conversation to ask Aragorn about the mechanics of Carpet.
"This is a very impressive youth and a prince as well." Elrond whispers to Saruman. "If we're lucky, you won't have to marry Arwen after all."
"I don't trust him, sire." Saruman sneered back.
"Nonsense, One thing I pride myself on Saruman, I'm an excellent judge of character."
"Oh, excellent judge, yeah, sure...not!" Grima murmured under his breath.
Arwen slowly walked in without anyone noticing her.
"Arwen will like this one!" Elrond said enthusiastically.
"And I'm pretty sure I'll like Princess Arwen." Edward replied.
"My Lord, no I must intercede on Arwen's behalf." Arwen hears this and gets mad. "This boy is no different than the others. What makes him think he is worthy of the princess?" Saruman asks.
"Your majesty, I am Prince Estel Elessar! Just let her meet me. I will win your daughter!" Aragorn said confidently.
"How dare you!" Arwen yells making her self know. They all look at her surprised. "All of you, standing around deciding my future? I am not a prize to be won!" She storms out of the room without even looking at Aragorn or Legolas.
"Arwen is right she is a person not something to be won, like at the fair." He shook his head in disapproval. "I'll go check on her." Glorfindel says and leaves.
"Oh, dear. Don't worry, Prince Estel. Just give Arwen time to cool down." Elrond leads Aragorn and Legolas out the room leaving Saruman alone."
"I think it's time to say good bye to Prince Elessenet…"
Days past and Arwen still refused to speak with Aragorn. "What am I going to do? Arwen won't even let me talk to her. I should have known I couldn't pull off this stupid prince wish." Aragorn mumbled to himself then looked over to see Gandalf playing chess with Carpet and Legolas sitting on the side reading a book.
"So move!" Gandalf yelled at Carpet being impatient. Carpet moved knocking a black piece off the board, much to Gandalf's surprise. "Hey. That's a good move. I can't believe it… I'm losing to a rug."
"I need help." he muttered. Gandalf popped in front of him.
"All right, here's the deal. You want to court the little lady, you got to be a straight shooter, do you follow me?" He said
"What?"
"Tell Her The Truth!" Legolas yelled from his corner. Gandalf looked amazed.
"The prince finally speaks!" Aragorn rolls his eyes at the wizard and looked at Legolas.
"No way If Arwen founds out I was really some crummy street rat, she'd laugh at me." he told them truthfully.
"A woman appreciates a man who can make her laugh!" Gandalf said completely serious.
"All jesting aside, you really need to be yourself." Legolas said.
"Hey, that's the last thing I want to be. Okay, I'm going to go see her. I got to be smooth, cool, and confident. How do I look?" he asked them.
"Like a prince." Legolas replied sadly. Aragorn hoped on carpet and up to her balcony. She was sitting peaceful rapped in a blanket on a chair in her room reading a book. He almost didn't want to disturb her.
"Princess Arwen?" Then two dark haired Elves walk out
Arwen sat lost in the book she was reading until she heard a noise from the balcony putting the book down she look over to her brothers, who both pulled out their knifes
"Who's there?" She asked cautiously.
"It's me… Prince Estel. Ahem." He cleared his voice. "Prince Estel Elessar." "I don't want to see you." she told him firmly.
"No, no, please princess. Give me a chance." He looked at Arwen with soft grey pleading eyes. Elladan advances at him while Elrohir stood in front of Arwen. Elladan was pushing Aragorn back towards the edge of the balcony.
Aragorn looked over the edge of the balcony to see Gandalf and Carpet watching him and talking. "How's our beau doing?" Gandalf asked Carpet. All Carpet dose is cuts his neck with his finger. Aragorn looked back at the Elf in front of him.
"Umm, well met" he said running his fingers though his hair. Then looked over at Arwen who was looking at him strangely.
"Wait, wait. Do I know you?" she asked moving around Elrohir to get a better look.
"Uh, no, no." Aragorn told her quickly
"You remind me of someone I met in the marketplace." she stepped forward placing her hand on Elladan shoulder to stop him
"The marketplace? I have servants that go to the marketplace for me. Why I even have servants who go to the marketplace for my servants, so it couldn't have been me you met." Her eyes slowly got sad and tilted down.
"No, I guess not." She looks disappointed. Aragorn looked over his shoulder where Gandalf was.
"Enough about you, Casanova. Talk about her! She's smart, fun, the hair, the eyes. Anything. Pick a feature!" Gandalf told him.
"Um, Princess Arwen? You're very…" I looked Gandalf.
"Wonderful, glorious, magnificent, punctual!" Gandalf called.
"Punctual!"
"Punctual?"
"Sorry."
"Beautiful." He told her.
"Nice recovery."
She looked at him with a twinkle in her eyes. "Hmm. I'm rich too, you know."
"Yeah…" he looked at her sighing.
"The daughter of a Lord" Arwen started walking towards Aragorn.
"I know." He said looking at her
"A fine prize for any prince to marry"
"Uh, right, Right. A prince like me" Aragorn said nervously.
"Right a prince like you. And every other stuffed shirt, swaggering, peacock I've met!" She pushed his shoulder and backed away.
"Just go jump off a balcony!" she yelled at him walking away the two Elves slow following her
"Stop her! Stop her!" Gandalf was muttering into Aragorn ear
"Buzz off." he told him.
"Okay, fine. But remember. Bee yourself!"
"Yeah, right!" Aragorn yelled at him.
"What!" Arwen yelled at me.
"Uh, you're right. You aren't just some prize to be won. You should be free to make your own choice." Aragorn looked at her Arwen and the two elves looked at each other in confusion. "I'll go now." he stepped up on the ledge and drop off.
"NO!" Arwen Yelled.
"What? What?" Aragorn called poking his head up from over the edge. Looking at each twin Arwen was just as stunned.
"How-how are you doing that?" she walked over to the edge and saw him standing on a carpet.
"It's a magic carpet." he told her.
"Its lovely." the carpet took Arwen hand with a tassel.
"You, uh, you don't want to go for a ride, do you? We could get out of the palace, see the world." he stumbled over his words looking unsure.
"Is it safe?" she asked him.
"Sure. Do you trust me?" he reached out. She froze where she was standing.
"What?" he extends his hand the same as before
"Do you trust me?" She looked at his deep grey eyes.
"Yes." she said. He gave Arwen a heart braking smile taking his hand Arwen got up on the carpet. It zooms into the sky, knocking us both into sitting positions. Arwen look back and saw her brothers looking up at her questioningly. Arwen when gave them a winked and a small wave. She gasped as the carpet flew over the palace wall and into the sky and held Aragorn tighter. He looked at her in a endearing manner and pointed out under them. They were over the town. She held on tighter
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid.
Tell me princess, now when did you last
Let your heart decide?
Carpet zooms down through the town, stopping slightly to pick a flower than carpet gives the flower to Aragorn who gives it to Arwen. She smiles.
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways, and under
On a magic carpet ride
Carpet flew into the clouds and the palace disappeared from under them.
A whole new world!
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
Arwen looks back and watches Rivendell disappear from sight. carpet flies in and out of the clouds.
Arwen:
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you!
Aragorn:
Now I'm in a whole new world with you!
Arwen:
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, free-wheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
They join a flock of eagles in the sky. One of them looks terrified and squawks. Carpet does somersaults and flips, at times putting Aragorn and Arwen in free-fall, but catching them. They then zoom above the clouds where a starry night awaits them.
Arwen:
A whole new world!
Aragorn:
Don't you dare close your eyes
Arwen:
An hundred thousand things to see
Aragorn
Hold your breath-it gets better!
Arwen:
I'm like a shooting star,
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be!
They zoom down over mountains as they fly pass they see Dwarfs digging into the mountain they wave to them, shocking the Dwarfs who drop there tools
Aragorn:
A whole new world!
Arwen:
Every turn a surprise
Aragorn:
With new horizons to pursue
Arwen:
Every moment, red-letter
Both:
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
They fly through Fangorn Forest, where Aragorn grabs an apple from a tree and rolls it down his arm to Arwen, who is now sure she is dealing with Aragorn, not prince Estel
Aragorn:
A thrilling chase
Arwen
A wondrous place
Both
For you and me!
