Okay. I just realized I made an ENORMOUS ENORMOUS ENORMOUS mistake. I can't believe I did this! Ugh! I put Gimli in the beginning when I wasn't supposed to! I'm so sorry for this humongous mistake! I hope I will never do this again in the future. If I don't fix this now, The entire story will be all jumbled up, so I am going to take Gimli out of the beginning. There will be more Gimli in this and the future chapters though! Again, I am sooooo sorry.

STABBYTHINGS –Lol! A party girl. Hmmmmmm. Maybe :-D. You'll see in this chapter. It's not as dramatic as it seems. I couldn't help the Elrond part! They really did remind me of spider legs. Haha! Ugh. School all over again….:-)

OHVALAR95 –I have to agree with you that I kind of made the mother really weird. Hehe.

ALQUA –You'll see! I really like your idea though! I might do that in one of my stories one day. Thank you! I was really confused with the story line when I started it, but now I have a clearer idea of how this is going to end! Yeah! :-D

BETHOLLY –Haha! I love how you said that! Some said that the story was very dramatic while others said it was dark! Lol! Awesome

NOFATE2608 –Thank you! I have made a couple of changes to the story. Read the note below this. I hope you're not extremely upset over the changes. I was kind of confused with the story line when I started this. It's clearer now. The changes weren't drastic, but tell me if you really don't like the change.

PUPPET WHITE –Thank you for taking the time to review my chapters with so much detail. I really wish elves had flaws! Gosh! I really envy them. Lol!

My last chapter was the longest chapter at the time! Lol! This one is a bit longer though. I hope you like it. Read my note below. I had to take Gimli out of the beginning. I made an enormous mistake. I hope I'll never make another one that big again. I know you liked Gimli, but there is more Gimli in this chapter and there will also be more in future chapters. Sorry.

Again, thanks for your reviews! They've really helped me think more about my writing!

ARANEL MERENETH –Haha! Thanks for your review! I have made my changes in my last chapter! Gosh. I feel like a horrible person. I recently just made a large change to my story (read the note below). Well…..this is my first story, so I'm going to learn from these mistakes I've made! Again, thanks for your review! It was really nice! :-D

Sorry for the inconvenience! On with the story!

-Gollum!-

I HAVE MADE CHANGES IN THE OTHER CHAPTERS! IT WOULD PROBABLY MAKE MORE SENSE IF YOU READ THE BEGINNING CHAPTERS AGAIN. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO, I WILL JUST TELL YOU THE CHANGES I HAVE MADE: ADLANNIEL DOES NOT KNOW GIMLI ANYMORE :-(To find out why, read the message at the very top of this page. I made a huge mistake!). EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME. I KNOW MANY OF YOU WILL BE ANNOYED. I AM TOO. AGAIN, I AM SOOOOOOO SORRY.

Adlanniel knocked on the door.

"Come in," Glorfindel replied, his voice muffled by the sounds of rustling paper. Adlanniel entered silently, but cautiously. Glorfindel looked up from his work. Instantly, his eyes brightened and he smiled.

"Adlanniel!" he exclaimed with surprise. "How is the Lothlorien guard?"

"They are in the grand hall at this moment….eating…..drinking…talking….combing their hair….."

"Do they need any extra supplies?"

"No." Glorfindel nodded. They both became silent. Adlanniel stood there awkwardly, fidgeting with her fingers as she always did whenever she was nervous. Glorfindel stared at her. Slowly, his right eyebrow rose like Elrond's usually did. Adlanniel's hand started constantly gripping onto each other and falling out of the grip.

"Valar! Spit it out, Adlanniel! What would you like to ask me?" Adlanniel froze her mouth partially open and her eyes wide. Her hands fell to her sides.

"Uh….well…I have a question." Glorfindel rolled his eyes and raised both of his eyebrows this time.

"I figured that out," he said with a low voice and a hidden smile behind his eyes.

Adlanniel frowned and took a deep breath. "Whatiswrongwithmynaneth?"

"Huh?" Both of his eyebrows shot up.

"Stop with the eyebrows!" said Adlanniel, her hands held out, pleadingly. Her eyes were wide open and she started breathing heavily. Irritation was clear on her face.

"Fine! Now repeat what you said….I truly could not hear you."

"Um…..every ellon that I meet seems to know my naneth. Is she…..Is it because she is…..you know…..with the ellons?"

"I have no idea what…..you know….is, however, I can tell you why many ellons got along with her."

Adlanniel smiled and plopped herself into a seat in front of Glorfindel.

"You naneth…she was different from all the other elleths." Adlanniel raised her right eyebrow and bade him to go on. Glorfindel grinned. "She was never…girly or ladylike. Aeroniel was not good at the many things elleths were taught so that they could keep a house. She couldn't cook, she couldn't dance, and she could clean, but she'd mess up her own work in a second. She sparred with other ellons. The only ladylike things she could do exceptionally well were dancing, singing, playing instruments, and sewing. Your adar completed her. He could do all the things she couldn't do and more." Glorfindel laughed at this. "Many other ellons took her in as their own sister. She had an enigma that spread a certain joy to almost everyone, though many refused to admit it since she was not…perfect."

"If they felt as if she was their own sister, then why did King Thranduil kiss me, thinking I was my naneth?"

"What?"

"Never mind…..that explains everything though," Adlanniel said quietly. "Naneth and Adar, they never liked talking about their past or anything like that. They never talked about their friends, and they said that most of their family had already crossed the sea." Glorfindel watched her intently as she spoke. "My naneth was extremely good at gardening, and she would hunt with my adar whenever he'd let her. However, my adar never let my naneth cook," Adlanniel said with a laugh. "He always told her to play with me and stay out of the kitchen while he cooked."

Glorfindel started laughing loudly. "I am guessing that is why you burned my lembas bread last week while trying to warm it up in the stove. You got the talent of destroying food from your naneth."

"I did not burn it!" Adlanniel exclaimed. Glorfindel grinned and held her hand.

"Adlanniel," he said, "I—

"You did too burn it!" a muffled voice said from around the bookshelf.

"Who's there?" Glorfindel called out. Adlanniel stood to find out what was going on, but Glorfindel held onto her hand even tighter to stop her from walking towards the voice.

"Ouch! You're hurting me! You're sitting on my hand!" the voice suddenly cried out.

"Well you're just fat! I have no room right here and you're able to rest your hand somewhere?" another muffled voice exclaimed.

"If I'm fat, then you're fat too, fatso!"

Glorfindel and Adlanniel silently walked towards the bookshelf. Adlanniel cautiously lifted a book. Glorfindel looked at her questioningly. Adlanniel simply shrugged. Suddenly, all the books started pouring on top of her. "Ow! Glorfindel!" She became aware of his grunting next to her as books also fell on him. Adlanniel's foot slid on a book, and she fell, grabbing Glorfindel on her way down. "Ooof!"

Elladan's head stuck out from behind the left side of the bookshelf. "Um…that was meant for Glorfindel only, Adlanniel," he said.

Elrohir's head stuck out of the right side of the bookshelf, "Aaaw, look! They're holding hands! I guess Glorfindel actually does like blonds!"

"ELROHIR!" Glorfindel screamed as he stood up, shaking furiously.

"Hey! What about my name?"

"ELLADAN!"

-Later….…-

"An alliance once existed between men and elves," Haldir said with a blank expression. Adlanniel discreetly smirked at the king of Rohan's expression on his face. "We have come to honor that alliance and fight with you." (A/N: I do not know whether or not Haldir truly said this in the movies. I just remember him saying something like that in one of the stories I read. I know there was something about the existence of an alliance and honor. Sorry :-)

"Haldir!" a voice suddenly called out. All of the elves' heads shot up to see the infamous Estel running down the stairs. Adlanniel noticed how haggard and tired he looked and she wondered if the rest of the fellowship looked as tired as he did. She was told little about the fellowship from Arwen, only that Estel was going with them with a band of others to fulfill a quest, vital for the future of many. He suddenly gave Haldir a large hug. Haldir froze as Estel hugged him before hesitantly patting him on the back.

A stout figure followed by a long and lanky figured ran down the stairs towards Estel.

He started laughing loudly. At first, Adlanniel's face had twisted to disgust when she first saw the dwarf, but she soon started laughing with him as she saw his light hearted character as he laughed almost barking laughs. His mustache vibrated against his chest.

"Adlanniel," Glorfindel said in a tone that made Adlanniel silent instantly. Her eyes suddenly widened as she saw the lanky figure behind the dwarf. His hair and bright eyes seemed so familiar. She knew he was instantly.

"Legolas," she breathed. He had a hard expression on his face. His eyes were on Estel, but she saw his head jerk slightly as she said his name. Elves were dispersing all around them. "Legolas," she said more loudly this time. "I know you can hear me."

Legolas sighed and looked at Adlanniel. "Hello Adlanniel."

"It has been a long time since I last saw you. How are you?" Adlanniel asked lightheartedly even though the sounds of swords being sharpened could be heard from almost every angle.

"I am fine. And you?" asked Legolas timidly.

"I am fine," Adlanniel said mockingly.

"You seem to be much happier than when I last saw you." His face was hard.

"Well….things were a lot harder to deal with back then," Adlanniel said tensely. They both became silent.

"Why did you not meet me during the Council in Rivendell?" Legolas suddenly asked harshly, all softness gone from his voice.

"Council? What are you talking about? I was not aware of a council taking place in Rivendell."

"Do not lie to me," Legolas said angrily, hurt clear on his face. "I saw you with Glorfindel! He was there at the council, and then you two immediately met."

Quickly, he walked away, leaving Adlanniel buried in his dust.
