A/N: I think I mentioned in one review reply that I had some ideas and scenes that either wouldn't fit the Call Me Maybe storyline or were cut down because the chapter was already long enough. Well this is a collection of scenes that I thought y'all might like to see. No spoilers for the actual story, as these can be looked at as AU drabbles. They're in no certain order, just whenever I run across one and check it for grammar, etc.

"You have not been teaching our daughter our native tongue?" Haldir was not angry with his wife, but he was surprised to learn this bit of news.

"Dear, we have spent well over a century in this realm, where there were no others of our kind that spoke the language. Teaching Ithilwen to speak fluently in our language before now would have been about as productive as putting a halfling on a diet." She sighed, lifting her mug of tea to her lips. "If it will make you feel any better, I have taught her some."

"How much?"

"She knows the basics and can formulate simple sentences, but to carry on a full conversation would be a struggle."

"We should correct this," He stated, staring at the table. "I do not blame you. Given the circumstances of your arrival here, your reasoning is justified. Our daughter should be able to walk proudly through Middle Earth with her people as if she had never been taken."

Haldir's wife nodded, and was about to open her mouth to agree, when the two heard a commotion coming from the den.

"Now you are just being mean, Legolas!"

"How is that being mean?"

"You know very well that I am just starting to pick the language back up! Giving me a long note to decipher is not what I would call a beginning lesson!"

The two looked up from their gaze on the table top to hear a crash come from the den. Abandoning their drinks, the couple ran to the source of the sound, only to be met with an interesting scene before them. The noise of the crash came from the leather loveseat being tipped over during a struggle, and the cause of the struggle was tossed about the floor. Ithilwen was straddling Legolas' chest, stretching and groaning in frustration as she tried with one hand to reach the book that he had held out of her grasp. Her other hand was fighting with the elf's other hand, slapping at it in an attempt to lean forward more.

It was the giggling from her mother that caused Ithilwen to stall her actions and look up to see both of her parents watching from the doorway with mixed expressions. Her mother was amused, but her father... she could not tell if he was baffled or furious. "What is going on, and are the two of you alright?"

"We are fine, Nana," Ithilwen began, slapping once more at Legolas' straying hand. "Or at least I will be when Legolas gives me back my book."

"Why do you have Ithilwen's book?" she asked the prince kindly.

"My Lady, I was merely teasing Ithilwen by telling her to solve the note I had written her without the book's assistance," he answered politely, but could not hide the cheeky grin or glimmer in his eyes as Ithilwen attempted to make another grab at the book.

Haldir had said nothing thus far, and neither Ithilwen nor Legolas were sure if that was a good thing. He simply stood there and stared while his wife talked. "Well, I am relieved to hear that the two of you are well. You should be more careful," she said, turning to direct her husband back to the dining room. "Oh, and Legolas," she added, "There are plenty of other ways that you can tease Ithilwen besides taking her book."

The innocent statement seemed to carry a heavy innuendo that the other three elves caught on to, and interestingly enough, left all in some level of sputtering.

A/N: What'd you think? :) Chapter 36 of the actual story is moving along, at this point I'm just about at the reunion bit where all the OCs will make a guest appearance. I've got finals this coming week, along with the last of my course assignments, four art commissions, and my sister driving down from Kansas City. Daylight's spent cleaning up but at night it's either art, school, or fanfic, and believe me I've been doing my best to squeeze some time in. In the meantime, I fixed the link to my tumblr on my profile, so now it ACTUALLY goes to the tagged page of Call Me Maybe art. I also added a sketch of Ithilwen and Legolas, so there's that. Hang tight, lovelies – it's just been apocalyptically insane at my house right now. ;)
