Disclaimer: Hmm, these are only fun in my other story. Oh well, I don't own LOTR or anything related.
Okay, Hello from THE Cheese Turkey! This is my sorry attempt at a serious fanfic. Its going to be a mystery cause I just love a good mystery. There will be some humor, I couldn't write a story without any humor!
Its not going to be a romance, although it may have a little romance.
I know this story probably won't be that good, so I don't need nasty reviews saying how stupid it is or about how its not true to canon. I know this. Okay? Thanks.
Now on with the story.
Of Rings and Thieves: chapter 1
Nia was embarrassed.
She locked herself in her room and had refused to come out, despite her friends attempts.
Come on Nia! You can't stay in there forever! Atarawen yelled at the closed door
Well I can try, Tara! Nia replied
He wasn't even mad! Tara insisted At least let me in!
The door opened slightly, Are you alone? Nia asked through the crack
No, I have a whole hoard of Orcs with me!....Of corse I'm alone! Tara said and pushed her way in
Nia quickly shut the door and flopped down on her bed, Of all the Elves in Mirkwood, why did it have to be him!
Well, now you know why King Thranduil has the rule of no loose animals in the palace. Tara scolded
Do you think the King will know it was me? Nia asked
Probably. You have broken that rule before! Tara replied
Nia wined and sat up.
Tara started laughing, It was pretty funny, you have to admit.
There is nothing funny about tripping over a cat and spilling soup all over the prince! Nia exclaimed
As if on cue there was a knock on the door.
Nia froze, she said quietly
Who is it? Tara asked smiling knowing perfectly well who it was
came the reply
Nia gasped loudly and grabbed Tara's dress in an attempt to stop her from opening the door. However, it didn't work.
Nia ran and hid in her closet.
Tara rolled her eyes and opened the door.
Legolas was standing there smiling and holding a small kitten.
Tara bowed respectfully and laughed quietly.
Is this yours? Legolas asked and held out the kitten
No, that would be Nia's. Tara said and motioned to the closet
Legolas looked in the room, Why is she hiding in the closet?
I really don't know. She is making a fuss over nothing. Tara said as she took the cat from Legolas I told her that you weren't mad but she won't believe me....NIA! Come out of there!
There was no response.
Tara sighed and looked back at Legolas, I know how to get her to come out. Shhh.....NIA! HE'S GONE!
The closet opened quickly and Nia fell out in an ungraceful heap. She got up and brushed herself off.
Then she turned around and gasped, Um, oh! Tara!...I'm sooo sorry! I didn't mean to! Nia said quickly
Legolas smiled, I'm not mad at you. Really.
Well, that's good. See Nia, I told you so. Tara said and gave the kitten to her
Nia cuddled the kitten , I suppose I have to let him go.
Only if my father find out, Legolas said and I don't plan on telling him.
Thank you. Nia said and smiled
Are you going to Lord Elrond's party? Legolas asked Nia
Every fifteen years, Lord Elrond held a huge party where all the Elves in Middle Earth were invited.
Yes. I hope I don't trip on any more cats and spill soup on the Lord of Rivendell! Nia replied with a laugh
Well, since you are, I was wondering if you would like to go with me. Legolas said
Nia blinked several times and Tara's eyes went wide, Yes, I would love to. she said
Legolas smiled and was about to say something but stopped when someone called his name.
Ne sighed, Sorry Nia it seems my father did find out about the soup incident.
Legolas waved goodbye and quickly walked down the hall.
The second he was out of ear-shot Nia squealed. Tara's mouth fell open and she gasped loudly.
I don't understand it! She exclaimed
Nia replied
You spill soup on him and he asks you to go with him Lord Elrond's party! I'm going to have to try that. Tara said
Now who's making a fuss over nothing? Nia asked
Tara exclaimed This is not Nothing' .
Nia didn't understand how big of a deal this really was. For Tara anyway.
Nienna! You are going to Lord Elrond's party with the prince! Tara practically screamed
Nia stared at her and blinked, Yes Tara, I am. I've gone to other parties with him.
Tara stopped ranting and sat down on Nia's bed. This was not good. Not good at all but Tara would have to deal with this... Somehow.
All right then...You are so lucky! Tara exclaimed faking happiness
Nia smiled again but then remembered something, What I am I going to wear!
Tara sighed and shook her head, The party is at the end of this month. You have till then to decide.
I don't care! I must decide. Now. You have to help me! Nia said
Nia, I can't. My mother wanted to meet me in the gardens. Tara said hesitantly
But...you have to help me decide! Nia protested and held up two dresses
Tara sighed, Wear the green one. It matches your eyes.
Nia smiled, All right, that's my favorite anyway. You are going too. aren't you?
Tara forced herself to smile, Yes Nia. I am.
Although, she would be going under very different circumstances.
Tara left Nia's room and headed out to the gardens.
Tara had a meeting, but it was not with her mother.
No, that was not even possible.
Well! I like this story!
I like writing mystery, its fun and makes shifty eyes mysterious....
