Everywhere he walked, his name was always heard. Others in Mirkwood would constantly talk of his work in the fellowship. He was always stopped in town by the citizens congratulating him. But he was getting sick of it. It was too much for him, he wanted to get away from it all. He walked into his house, and then to his bedroom and slammed the door.
"Son, what's the matter?" his father asked coming into his room.
Legolas was packing his stuff. He stopped and looked at his father.
"I'm leaving for awhile. I need to get out of this town," Legolas said.
"And where are you staying?" his father asked.
"I've already talked to Aragorn and I'll be staying with him and Arwen," Legolas explained.
"But...are you sure you...," his father began.
"Yes dad, I'm sure. I'll be safe, don't worry," Legolas reassured his father.
"Well then... if you really want to, I can't stop you," his father said. "Just be careful."
"Don't worry dad, I will," Legolas smiled.
The two said their good-byes and Legolas started on his trip.
It was late at night and the sky was dark. Legolas had it all planned out. If he left when it was dark, nobody would spot him. Traveling throughout the night, Legolas finally made it to Aragorn's place. Legolas knocked on the door.
"Legolas, it's good to see you," Aragorn said opening the door.
"It's good to see you too," Legolas said walking into the house.
Aragorn and Arwen had twins and Arwen was sitting in the room holding the baby girl.
"Oh wow, she's beautiful," Legolas said.
"Thank you Legolas," Arwen said.
Aragorn then put the twins in the nursery so he, Legolas, and Arwen could talk.
Legolas looked at Arwen and Aragorn and smiled.
"You have lovely children," he said.
"Thanks Legolas...," Aragorn began to say when there was a knock on the door.
"Stay, I'll get it," Legolas said.
"No, no you won't. You're a guest in this house," Aragorn said.
"Now, now, I can answer the door," Legolas said walking over to the door. He couldn't believe what he saw in front of him. She had blonde hair and blue eyes and was beautiful.
Aragorn walked over to the door.
"Legolas, meet Vanima. She's the babysitter for the kids," Aragorn said.
"Vanima.... It means beautiful. Just like you," Legolas said.
"Why thank you Legolas," Vanima blushed.
"Alright lover boy. Break it up. We're going out for dinner, remember?" Aragorn said.
"Dinner? Oh yeah. Why don't you and Arwen go instead? I'll stay here and help Vanima baby-sit," Legolas suggested.
"But you just came here," Aragorn said.
"And when was the last time you and Arwen had time alone?" Legolas asked.
"Alright. You got me there," Aragorn laughed.
"And sat out as late as you want," Legolas laughed.
"We will. Thanks Legolas," Aragorn said.
"Anytime friend," Legolas said.
After a few minutes, Arwen and Aragorn left. Legolas helped Vanima give a bath to the twins and then out them to bed. The two of them sat at the table to talk.
"So where are you from?" Legolas asked.
"Rivendell, but originally from Mirkwood," Vanima said.
"Mirkwood? That's where I'm from," Legolas said.
"Really? That's cool, "Vanima smiled. "I didn't live there long. Moved to Rivendell when I was young."
"I really wish I could move out sometimes," Legolas said.
"Why don't you then?" Vanima asked.
"Well you see. I'm the king's son," Legolas responded.
"You're princes Legolas! I thought you looked familiar," Vanima said.
"Yep that's me," Legolas said laughing.
Vanima laughed with him. Legolas found himself holding Vanima's hand in his. He looked into her eyes.
"You have beautiful eyes," Legolas smiled.
"Thank you," Vanima blushed.
Legolas leaned in to kiss Vanima just as the door opened.
"Whoa, hope I didn't interrupt anything," Aragorn said seeing what was going on.
"No you didn't. Don't worry about it. I have to go home anyways," Vanima said grabbing her things and running out.
"Wait! Vanima don't," Legolas said running after her until Aragorn pulled him back.
"Legolas don't," Aragorn said.
"But, why not?" Legolas said confused.
"Legolas tell me, have you ever been in love?" Aragorn asked.
"Well, no. That's why I came here, remember? To find love, outside my city," Legolas responded.
"Yes but Legolas, you don't just start holding hands and kissing girls. It may scare them," Aragorn explained.
"But she is just so beautiful." Legolas said.
"Yes Legolas, but get to know her better first. You don't know her for more than five hours yet," Aragorn said.
"I know Aragorn. But how much longer should I wait. I'm not getting any younger you know," Legolas said.
"Give it time. It'll happen soon enough," Aragorn replied.
Legolas started to feel a pain in his head. He never felt nay pain before and didn't know what to do. Aragorn helped him sit down.
"Legolas, what is it?" Aragorn said concerned.
"I...I don't know. My head, it's hurting I think," he said putting his head in his hands.
Aragorn knew this wasn't normal for Legolas and as he looked over, he saw Legolas's face loosing color.
"Legolas lay down. You need to rest," Aragorn said.
Thanks, I think I will," Legolas said lying down and closing his eyes.
Aragorn got nervous, since he's never seen Legolas like this before. He ran upstairs to Arwen for help.
"Aragorn, what's the matter?" Arwen said noticing her husband almost crying.
"It's Legolas. He's sick I think. He's downstairs sleeping," Aragorn explained.
Arwen went downstairs and felt Legolas's hand.
"He's cold," Arwen said looking worried.
There was a knock on the door. Aragorn opened the door and saw Vanima.
"What's wrong? I came because I forgot something," Vanima said.
"It's Legolas. He's not doing too well." Aragorn explained.
"I think I have an idea," Vanima smiled.
She went over to Legolas and held his hand. She leaned over and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"That's the kiss we would've had earlier," Vanima whispered.
She kept holding his hand, hoping he would wake up. Nothing. Legolas still had his eyes closed.
"Please Legolas, wake up. I had a great time being with you tonight," Vanima said crying.
Then, Vanima felt something. It was Legolas's hand, moving while still holding her hand.
"Legolas?" Vanima said wiping her eyes.
Legolas started to open his eyes. He blinked a few times.
"Vanima? Where am I?" Legolas said becoming confused.
"Shh...it's ok. You're still at Aragorn's. Nothing to worry about now," Vanima said smiling.
Legolas sat up. He was back to himself. The color in his face was back. Aragorn and Arwen were relieved. So was Vanima, if not more.
"But...you. It was you that woke me up," Legolas said.
"Yes, I guess it was," Vanima smiled.
Legolas smiled back. Aragorn and Arwen went upstairs to leave Vanima and Legolas alone.
"Vanima, I don't want to sound too forward. But I like you, a lot," Legolas blushed.
"Really Legolas? I like you too," Vanima said hugging him.
Legolas hugged her back. He never felt happier in his life.
Aragorn was watching from the top of the stairs.
"Aragorn, leave them alone," Arwen said.
"I will, but I don't know. I guess I'm just worried that she may hurt him or something," Aragorn said.
"Vanima is so sweet though. She'd never hurt Legolas," Arwen said.
"How can we be so sure? She might use him because he's a prince," Aragorn said.
"Aragorn, you're thinking crazy. She won't hurt him. They want to be alone. So stop watching," Arwen said.
Arwen dragged Aragorn into the bedroom, because she knew he wouldn't stop watching Legolas and Vanima.
"It's late. Just get some sleep," Arwen told him. Aragorn listened and went to sleep.
Legolas walked Vanima to the door.
"So it's a date. Tomorrow for dinner," Legolas said.
"Yes it's a date," Vanima said smiling and then walking home.
Legolas stayed downstairs. He couldn't wait for tomorrow. He would be going on a date with the most beautiful elf girl he ever saw.
