Sometimes I need some alone time. Everyone goes to a special place to just sit and think. My place is a little clearing in a forest with the most beautiful flowers and waterfall. I mean this place is the best. But of course on the day I need this place the most, I get a visitor.
I run to my clearing in tears because I find out my parents are thinking about divorce. Perfect way to end the worst week ever. I sit on a big rock and take off my shoes and dip my feet into the water. I just sit there crying my eyes out
"What is wrong, milady?" I scream and jump up. My clearing has been discovered. And I am super scared to see who is behind me. I slowly turn around and find only the hottest guy in the world. Long blonde hair, blue icy eyes, the muscles, and those beautiful pointed ears. Wait a minute!
"Why you have pointed ears?" Yeah, I know bad grammar, but hey that's how I talk. He must have noticed my grammar failure because he turned his head at an angle with a questioning look.
"I am an elf of course. Why are you here and why were you crying?"
"This is my place where I come to think and just be by myself. And it's none of your beeswax to know why I'm crying." He looks confused again and says, "Why, I have no beeswax. I just wanted to see if I could help." His one comment makes me smile. Seeing his progress he starts to bow.
"My name is Legolas Greenleaf of Mirkwood," he says.
"I'm Ally of Maine."
"I have never heard of Maine," he replies.
"Well I never heard of Mirkwood."
"Everyone in Middle Earth has heard of Mirkwood," he says, laughing.
"What the heck is Middle Earth?"
"You are in Middle Earth." This Legolas dude looks crazy confused. Then, I remember. Bilbo. Gandalf. Lonely Mountain. Middle Earth. Eighth grade reading project…
"I'm in a book?" I scream. Legolas steps back slowly and says, "No, Middle Earth is real. I have heard something about our land being in stories though." I stare at him. This guy was not it the Hobbit, but I never read or saw Lord of the Rings. But still, there is no way possible that my little clearing is in Middle Earth. I guess I can play along though.
"Well why are you here then, Legolas?" He stops and pauses, and then he says, "This is where I sit and think as well. I like to call it my clearing." My jaw drops. This elf dude Legolas is just like me. I smile at him and he returns it.
"You know what Legolas? This could be the start of a new friendship." Legolas nod and smiles. I smile back and almost slip off the rock into the lagoon, but Legolas runs over and grabs my arms.
"That was close," I say.
"I will never let you fall," he whispers in my ear. I get this wonderful feeling and then I realize that I'm blushing! I can't believe that I'm blushing! Woah, major embarrassment there.
"Well I have to go, Legolas. My mom will be so mad if I go home any later," I quickly say. Legolas seems disappointed then nods, "I don't want you to get in trouble. How about we meet here tomorrow afternoon?"
"Sounds awesomesauce. I'll be here tomorrow then."
"Goodbye, Lady Ally."
"Bye Legolas."
