Choosing "Confess your eternal and undying love to..."
By Saki and Elena Halfelven


You blink, and idea ocurring to you. "Let's play a fun game!" you cry. You look around at the group, making your decision. Finally, you aim to throw your arms around Frodo's neck, but Aaragorn stops you so you hug him instead (gag) and yell, "Darling, do you love me?!?!?!"

Your question is met with silence, but this may be partly due the fact he is having trouble breathing. And the eternal laws of the universe dictate that he would say his only saving grace, "Frodo, I swore to protect you...by my life or death," before Arwen woke up.

"Get off of him!!" Arwen cried, glaring at you with that I-can-and-will-kill-you look.

"But um...he's been cheating on you! With...um...damn it, who did I say he was having an affair with...? Oh, right! Legolas," you finish, nodding proudly (while still hugging Aaragorn, which doesn't look quite right).

Arwen glares at you, and then breaks your argument into pieces by saying, "Then why are you still hugging him?"

You:

Explain 'Darling, do you love me?' (the game)

Remove yourself from Aaragorn and hug Arwen instead.

Use your wonderful drama skills (?) to make Arwen believe you've fallen in love.
