Author's Note: Well…I suppose this story is for "trixie", who reviewed one of my original stories and told me I should write Aragorn/Legolas fanfiction. I haven't really read all of the LOTR books, but it's going to be kind of AU anyway, so please bear with me! The title is a working title, and so I apologize for its suckiness. Also, the whole magical-spring-turns-a-boy-into-a-girl-with-a-splash-of-water thing belongs to Rumiko Takahashi, from her Ranma ½ series. And so it begins…

Looking Past the Surface
Chapter One
Legolas sighed as he tread lightly on the leaf litter on the Mirkwood Forest floor. Little light trickled in between the densely leaf-laden trees, but, being an elf, Legolas had no trouble avoiding treacherous roots and pits. Or at least, he wouldn't have, had he not been preoccupied. His duties as a prince were beginning to take their toll, and he needed an escape.
*The banquet is this Friday…I must write that welcoming speech,* Legolas thought, deftly avoiding a rather pointy-looking branch. *I need to be fitted for my banquet attire, as well…oh, when will I get this all done?* The elf knew that he would accomplish everything if he was working right now, but he couldn't let the thought bother him. He like the forest much more than the royal tailor, anyway…it didn't poke you with pins, or snap at you to stand up straighter, or—
SPLASH!
--it did, however, place large pools right in the middle of your path. Legolas groaned at his inattentiveness and clambered out of the water, feeling rather odd. It took him some time, as he was rather flustered and was wearing man-made clothes. The wool became heavy and unwieldy when wet, something the elfin prince was unaccustomed to. He finally reached land again and stood up straight, trying to wring out his garments and smooth them at the same time. He paused a moment and then looked down at himself uncertainly. He almost screamed, but suppressed the sound; elves—particularly princes—don't scream. Legolas had turned into a girl.

Author's Note: Yes, I know it's short, and I'm sorry. This is just the first chapter, really more of an introduction, and I want to get some feedback to see if I should continue. So, everyone, please review!
