Disclaimer: I own none of the Harry Potter characters. Sadly. So do not sue me.

It is my last day in Mirkwood. Tonight my parents are taking my to the train station. So I'm enjoying my time at the creek while I still can. I love the creek. Legolas and I come here every day after school, it's been this way since school started.

I sat down on a rock and let my feet hang into the water. It is a nice day, weather wise. The surrounding trees just don't seem as green as they usually do. The clouds don't seem so fluffy. It's nice and warm though. If I weren't leaving in an hour I'd go swimming.

"Hey Tanrothien." Legolas greeted me as he joined me on the rock.

"Hey Greenleaf." I smiled as best I could while feeling sad. Lately I've been noticing him more. Like the way his blond hair seems to glow when it's night. Like the way you almost lose yourself in his blue eyes. The way the tips of his ears turn pink when he blushes. And the way he sounds so innocent when he sings or laughs. I can't help but notice.

"So you're leaving in an hour?" He asked although he knew the answer.

"Yeah. I'm actually going to miss you." I grinned.

"Oh. Then I guess it's ok for me to miss you too I guess. Even though you're a sell (girl in Sindarin)." Legolas smirked.

"Taur raug!" awful creature I teased.

"Balch raug!" cruel demon He teased back.

"Barad limlug!" doomed sea serpent I laughed.

"Amlug ast!" dragon dust He pushed my shoulder.

"Nawag!" dwarf I pushed.

"Lathron!" eavesdropper He hissed.

"Um!" evil I barked.

"Cabor!" frog He laughed.

"Hwand!" fungus I giggled.

Soon we couldn't stop laughing. This was the stuff I was going to miss. I could only hope that someone there would be able to make me laugh just as much. We did stuff like this all the time. Maybe someone there would do this with me. But only in the friendly way Legolas and I do.

"It's almost time for me to go Greenleaf." I sighed, knowing our fun was coming to an end.

"It's been an hour already? Wow. Oh! Before I forget, I got you a going away present!" He handed me a beautiful lead box. I opened it, and inside was a letter, a picture, and a bracelet. The bracelet was green and had little leaves dangling from it.

"Thank you. It's beautiful. I also have something for you." I handed him a wooden box. Inside is a green leaf pin, a picture, and an address so he can write to me.

"Bye Tanrothien. See you. when I see you I guess." He shoved his hands in his pockets.

"I guess so. Bye Greenleaf. I'll write as soon as I can." I hugged my best friend and ran off towards home. I was late as it was.
