A/N: New chapters for both my stories! Huzzah! I'm an evil, evil person, who probably subconsciously introduced the concept of writing in varying degrees of Sue-speak simply because I'm too lazy to spell check. I do know how Warg is spelt.

Aragorn's eyebrows shot straight up He stared at the strange woman for a long moment, then tore his eyes away from her and reluctanlty turned to Legolas
"I don't remember you mentioning a sister."

"How could I not have mentioned her? My people consider my sister to be more fair than the living land of the Greenwood, and above all the jewels that lie beneath the earth."

"Quote stealer" Gimli muttered.

Aragorn beamed, "Of course, how could I forget about the beautiful..."

Legola's sister smiled "Lorielai"

Aragorn's smile grew wider. "Lorielai. A beautiful name for a beautiful lady." He strolled forth and kissed her hand gently.

"Alright, that does it!" River was furios. She marched over to Gimli. "Do you ever, ever remember him" She pointed at Legolas, "Mentioning her" she pointed at Lorelai "even once?"

Gimli frowned. "Nay, I do not actually."

Legolas was angry now, "How could you not remember my sister, whom I have mentioned even more times than you do your stomach?"

Gimli drew himself up to full height, looked Legolas straight in the shoulder and growled, "I suggest you take that this instant back, elf!"

"Don't 'elf' me, Dwarf!"

"Okay, that's enough of all that." The Doctor steped between the fighting duo. "You say you do remember, you say you don't, let's just agree to disagree, and River-" He made a stabbing gesture, and jerked his head in Lorielai's direction. She was sitting on the grass beside Aragorn, and laughing at something he had said. River nodded, grimly.

She slowly pulled one of several sporks out of her belt, and edged carefully towards the elf, who was now listening open mouthed to Aragorn's tale of his fight with twenty worgs. He somehow neglected to mention that it was actually twenty fights with one worg each time, but that obviously was'nt important.

River raised her fist with the spork in it, but as she did so the sunlight hit her sleeve and reflected into Aragorn's eyes, causing him to blink and look up. "What are you doing, Daughter of Song?" he asked.

"Oh, er... I was just going to ask Lorielai if she wanted something to eat. This white thing is for eating with. Very popular where I'm from."

Lorielai smiled. "Nay, I do not require such a tool. We are in the wild, we therefor eat lembas with our hands."

"You are very wise my lady" said Aragorn.

"Wait, hang on," The Doctor came up to Aragorn, who looked confused.
"What do you wish me to hang on to?" he asked.

"Oh that's funny, very funny. Anachronistic phrases, always good for a laugh." The Doctor wasn't laughing. "Weren't we heading into the Forest to look for some friends of yours?"

"That is indeed true. We must not abandon Pippin and Sam."

"Don't you mean Pippin and Merry?" asked Gimli with a snort.

"Yes, thats what I said." Replied Aragorn. He looked at Lorielai. "I am afraid we must part ways, this is no place for a lady."
River coughed loudly. Aragorn did not seem to hear as he continued. "Take my horse, and go whither you will with my heart."
River mimed vomiting. Gimli chuckled, Legolas glared at them.

Lorielai smiled (again). "Fear not, I am capable of defending myself." She pulled out her bow, and faster than you can say "Oliver Barton Everdeen" she had shot four arrows into a nearby tree in an 'L' shape. A rumbling noise came from the tree, and it swung a branch at her. To River's disappointment, she ducked and the branch knocked over Gimli.
Aragorn clapped, Gimli groaned as he rose and Legolas smiled and said, "You always were the better archar, were you not?"

As the group of 6 make their way through the forest, River walked behind with the Doctor.

"I completely agree with you. These Sues are evil." River muttered.

"Jealous much?" he asked. "It's probably affecting you too. I can't be too sure, you might not need any help for that."

She glared, but continued. "It seems rather differrent from the last one though, don't you think?"

"It is actually. That one had far, far more raw power, but this one is clearly more skilled."

"How can you tell?"

"Look at the three of them. One looks and sees a sister he's spent his whole, very long life with. That takes up nearly all she has, and what's left goes into charming Aragorn."

"That doesn't require much does it? What about the short one? He doesn't seem to know, or care forher"

"That's the brilliance of it. She can't use him, so she doesn't try. Instead he can be the one who doubts her, making the other two defend her even more."

They moved on some more. Gimli found orc blood on some leafs.

"Stop!" Aragorn called from the front of the group after a while.
He frowned for the first time in over an hour, having had nothing but a goofy grin on his face since Lorielai had started holding his hand.
"I hear someone crying"

Sure enough, the sound of someone weeping could be heard from behind a nearby tree.

"Careful, it could be a trap of Saruman's" said Gilmi.

The group slowly moved around the tree. A young woman was huddled up, head in knees, crying. Though everyone else did not, the Doctor and River realised what she was wearing: black jeans, and a purple T-shirt with the logo of a popular 21st century earth band on it.

The woman, who couldn't be any older than 20, stood up as they approached. She looked directly at Aragorn and no one else as she said, "Hello, my name is Emily Jade Merryweather. I was at home, and I dont know ho I got here. Please helpme!" She proptly swooned into Aragorns arms, causing him to look around helplessly.

"Oh no" River muttrd. Now there are 2 of them."
