~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Victoria squirmed nervously in her chair. Looking out the window, She could see that it was already getting a bit dark. The celebration would begin in a little while, much to Victoria's dread. The girl wrung her fingers nervously and let out a sigh and tried once again to read.

Victoria had been attempting to read her book for the past hour, but it lead to nervous glances out the window. Finally out of frustration, Victoria threw the book down with an angry scream. She was not in the mood in the least to go to a big party, especially in the dress that she wore.

"Maybe I'll go outside but when nobody is looking, I'll sneak away and have a secret bonfire in the forest while roasting this dress to a black crisp.." Victoria said outloud with a smirk. As Victoria laughed menacingly, her door was then opened.

"Victoria? are you all ready?.." Rialan asked popping his head into the room. Victoria let out a surprised yelp and hid behind her bed.

"I ought to shove my foot up your ass for sneaking in like that!" Victoria hissed from behind her bed. Rialan just laughed mockingly.

"Come now..I desire to take a look at you.." Rialan said trying to come around to the other side of her bed. Victoria glared and drew up one of her blankets and wrapping it around her body. Rialan just smirked.

"Hell you won't weaponsmith boy! I do not think I'm coming to this wing ding." Victoria snapped with a glare. Rialan just laughed again.

"Of coarse you are coming.." Rialan said devilishly as he tried to pry the blanket from around Victoria.

"NO!" Victoria cried. Rialan then grabbed the end of the blanket and gave it a tug. Victoria glared and wrapped her arms around herself embarrassingly. Rialan studied for a moment.

"Why do your cheeks flush, when you look stunning?.." Rialan asked softly. Victoria just glared coldly.

"I look like a moron." She said a matter of factly.

"I would rather see Sauron dressed in a tutu skirt while doing the cancan then go outside looking like a bimbo.." Victoria added crossing her arms stubbornly. Rialan just heaved a sigh.

"Do not think so negatively about yourself.." Rialan said gently. Victoria just gave a huff. Then the sudden sound of trumpets came from outside. Rialan grinned.

"Let the celebrations begin!" He cried. Distant singing could also now be heard. He then grabbed her hand and pulled her out of her chambers. Victoria tried desperately to pull her hand away, but had no avail.

"If only I had pepper spray.."Victoria muttered to herself and glared up at her friend who was grinning like a child at Christmas.

The two of them soon arrived outdoors. Victoria attempted to hide behind Rialan but he gently pulled her out so that she could be seen. Victoria could see that all the she-elves wore the exact kind of dress she did, except that each one seemed to be in a different color.

"I want to go back to my room." Victoria complained trying again to hide behind Rialan's lean back.

"Enough wailing Victoria.." Rialan said with a smile. Victoria just stuck her nose up in the air.

All the people of Mirkwood headed eagerly to the Dining hall. Victoria felt totally helpless.

Coming into the Dining hall, Elves galore lingered about, singing, rejoicing and playing instruments. Rialan pulled her over to the large table and sat down. Victoria slumped down into a chair and wrapped her arms around herself.

"Remind me to kill you, when this is all over.." Victoria hissed to Rialan. He just smirked at her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the grand dinner was over, the elves sat peacefully at the table until the sounds of trumpets began again. All got up from there seats with cheers.

"What's going on now?.." Victoria asked Legolas quietly. He looked down at her with a smile.

"We are heading into the forest.." He explained. He grabbed her hand and pulled her outdoors where the crowd was heading. Upon stepping onto the grass, the crowd of celebrating elves grouped together into a line. Legolas along with his father lead the pack. All was silent...

"Now we will sing.." Rialan whispered to a very curious Victoria. She glanced at him and could see the excitement clear in his silver eyes. A few elves down the line each held up an elvish lantern. They silently began to walk silently through the grassy land. The moon was full above there heads..fireflies glowed like gold embers in the air..the slow and soft mumble of the waterfalls filled there ears.

That's when King Thranduil suddenly gave a cry..his voice sung beautifully and strong over the silence. The elvish flowed from his mouth perfectly. Victoria could feel a sense of awe come over her. The song was fast yet soft and and could of been compared to Irish Gaelic according to Victoria's opinion. A smile crept onto her lips as she listened. The footsteps of the elves seemed to give a perfect beat to the song.

Buts that's when The king stopped and Legolas took in place. His voice was beautiful and strong like his father yet it rose powerfully over. Victoria's eyebrows arose and she jabbed Rialan in the ribs.

"The Barbie boy is good.." She commented, nodding her head. Rialan smiled. Legolas' eyes were closed as he sung perfectly in his elvish tongue. A smile was graced upon his lips and Victoria stared at him. But she had to roll her eyes when she heard the distinct sound of several she-elf sighs come from the line. The words rolled off his tongue in one last strong chorus before when suddenly the whole large group of elves joined in. Victoria's eyes trailed around her. They sang in unison and Victoria could make out glowing aura's from each of them. Even Rialan who walked beside her, sung perfectly.

Victoria let her eyebrows knit together. The sudden urge of wanting to know elvish came to her. Seeing that she was the only one not singing nagged at her. Rialan looked down at her momentarily to see her scowling while gazing at the ground. With a grin, but not stopping from singing, he gently took her hand. She looked up at him and smiled assuringly.

Victoria's round ears were lost in the music. Different solos were being sung by the elves while keeping the same melody and tone. Light and loud singing was also being added to the song. Victoria could not help herself when she began to hum to the music. That's when instruments began to softly play. It was almost like distant drumming and flute playing.. Forever would she remember there sweet melodic song..forever would she long to listen to it..forever would she love it..

That's when the song came to a slow end. Victoria almost was going to ask for them to do it again but shut her mouth with a slight snort.

"I would surely be the first customer to purchase an elf CD any day.." Victoria thought in her mind. The sudden image of Legolas and his friends all dressed up in baggy jeans with a sports jersey and a backwards caps on came to Victoria's mind. That particular images was also included with them rapping along to one of Eminem's hits. That sudden image made Victoria clamp a hand over her mouth to stifle a particularly loud snort and guffaw of laughter. Rialan glanced at her quizzically.

Victoria looked around. The elves of Mirkwood were now standing in a clearing in the forest. Most parts of the wood were considered dangerous but this spot seemed to have a sense of peace and joy to it in the air.

"Be ready..they approach.." Rialan said with a mysterious smile. Victoria looked to him with a confused expression.

"You speak in riddles Weaponsmith boy.." Victoria hissed to him. That's when she noticed that each elf was now looking up to the sky in silence yet a smile played on there lips.

"Is there going to be a blimp that flies across the sky that says happy midsummer's or something?" Victoria thought in her mind. That's when she felt something on her nose. A drop of liquid. More and more droplets of rain began to fall. Victoria was about to start laughing about how it happened to rain oon there little holiday when she stopped in mid breath. The rain..it was somehow different..

Victoria raised a confused hand to the shower of rain that began to fall. Her suspicions were confirmed true......the rain........it was warm...not cold like all rain..but warm..

"Warm rain?..how is this possible?.." Victoria whispered. Rialan gave her hand a small squeeze.

"Every midsummer's..We come out to this very spot where it rains the warm rains..but only on this day.." Rialan explained as he began to get soaked under the warm liquid. Victoria let her eyes close for a moment as the rain poured down the length of not only her body but all the elves.

A loud cheer erupted from the crowd and then then clapping. Then all was suddenly silent as King Thranduil spoke.

"Let the singing and dancing begin! and let us find joy around us not only in the nature and sprits but also in our loved ones..!" Said the king. As more cheers erupted so did also the sudden burst of music. Elves settled on the wet grass while most of them went out and began to dance merrily. Rialan grabbed a she-elf's hand and the two disappeared in the throng of elves. Victoria sat down alone of the grass as she continued to get wet by the never-ending warm rains.

The elves moved in perfect sync. They glided across the grass in the rain in great time and never let the smiles from there lips fade. They moved fast yet graceful and almost seemed to fly as if having mighty wings spring from there backs. But yet they did not cease from singing and laughing.

Victoria felt the rain pour down her head yet she watched them with a smile. The partners then held eachothers hands and spun in various graceful circles, water flying out in beads from there head as if part of a show.

The moon shined down on them, making there aura's ever brighter and even more beautiful. Victoria could see the familiar faces. The king, Rialan, Isil..everyone..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Legolas stopped his dancing to swig down a small cup of ale. He then turned, a joyous smile still upon his lips to see Victoria sitting down in the grass alone while watching everyone else. Legolas put down his glass and made his way over there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why are you not dancing?." Legolas asked curiously when finally coming up to her. She snapped her head up to face him.

"First of I don't know how to dance..second of all I don't think I would like dancing." Victoria admitted rather sheepishly. Legolas laughed and then sat in the grass next to her.

"Everyone knows how to dance..dancing is just graceful movement.." Legolas stated as he watched his fellow elves with a smile. Victoria turned to him with a doubtful smile and then snorted.

"Well, that's easy for you to say Barbie boy..and when it comes to me when I dance..I don't call crashing around like a rhinoceros actual dancing..." Victoria said with a smirk as she made fun of herself. Legolas looked at her curiously for a moment before grinning widely. He then got to his feet.

Leaning down, Legolas gently took her hands with his and pulled her to her feet. She looked at him questioningly. He then plucked off a white flower from a tree branch that hung above there head. The elf prince leaned over and slowly entwined it into Victoria's wet mass of dark locks. When he leaned back, Victoria's face was full of surprise. Legolas with a friendly smirk then grabbed her hand and pulled her into the dancing group of elves much to Victoria's dismay and horror.

"Barbie boy..what the hell are you doing?.." Victoria hissed as he lead her.

"I am going to dance with you." Legolas said simply. Victoria had to fight to the urge to smack the elf.

"Barbie boy..I can't dance.." Victoria said in an almost panicky tone. Legolas said nothing but grinned to himself. He then stopped and pulled her to be infront of him. The she-elves then stood stood away from there partners in straight lines. Victoria followed and watched there every move. Doing the best she could, poor Victoria followed every move she could catch glimpse of. Legolas stood in the line of male elves opposite them dancing in perfect sync.

Victoria closed her eyes for a moment to fall into beat. When doing so, she followed there moves. To her joy she was able to catch on quite good for a beginner. Though she was not as graceful as the she-elves, Victoria still followed every move to the best of her ability.

"I cannot believe I'm doing this.." Victoria grumbled to herself. Catching sight of Rialan who was dancing like the other males in perfect unison, he cast a knowing smile at her. Victoria just stuck her nose up determined to not let him have final say. Legolas then softly grabbed one of her hands and twirled her around.

"You catch on quick" He commented with a smile. Victoria just shrugged her shoulders. Victoria felt her being lost in the music once again..the beat.. the tone..the voices...the instruments..it was like even the elves added all the more beautiful factors to it. They had a gift like that..these high wise beings..

Victoria was unaware that she began to move in sync to the other she-elves. It was like the steady music controlled her movements. It even surprised Legolas.

Victoria let her eyes face heavenward to the sea of stars. Where the warm rains fell...where the night filled jewels twinkled like rays of burning light. Victoria could not help but smile wistfully as she raised her arms up as if trying to grasp the heavens.

Legolas could see in the pale moonlight that Victoria glowed of her own aura. It was if she showed something new to all that night. True feeling..true passion..true being....Legolas could also feel as he gazed upon Victoria in her new form of light..

Victoria's eyes opened again, afraid that she might of dazed out but found that she was still moving. The moving of her arms gracefully. The steady sway of her hips. The light movement of her feet.

"I am impressed." Legolas admitted twirling her again before dropping Victoria into a surprising dip which made her gasp.

"Why is that?" Victoria asked, now looking up at him with wide eyes. Legolas grinned his cheeky grin.

"You have not messed up as you claim you would." Legolas said simply, still holding in her in the dip whilst he looked down upon her. Victoria could feel a light blush on her cheeks. Just the warm rain she thought to herself merrily passing the thought away. Legolas slowly brought her up from the somewhat dramatic dip with a grin before all the elves stopped there dancing to applaud to the end of the song. Victoria applauding once getting her footing.

As another song came on, Victoria danced wildly through the crowd occasionally doing an air guitar. Some elves stared at her unusual style of dancing for it came from our world. Victoria's sense of being nervous died away as she danced like a free sprit.

The girls long locks of hair swung out gracefully with beads of water falling away like a water show. Clapping and cheering, singing and rejoicing rung out in the air. Birds chirped, fireflies buzzed.

That's when Victoria came to a stop midway through the dancing. A large grin came onto her face as she thought of a wild idea. Running over to a group of dancing elves and whispering her idea they looked at her curiously for a moment before eagerly agreeing.

Victoria let one elf put his hands on her shoulders while it continued down the line. Soon enough, her idea was brought out through the whole crowd until Victoria had a whole Congo line of elves behind her. They thought it strange until she began to move along the grass, the line of elves connected to her. Victoria only wished there to be some Spanish music to match with the Congo line.

(A/N: I'm sure all of you know what a congo line is. Its when theres an never ending line of people. each person puts there hands on the shoulders on the person in front of them while moving to the beat. Its a spanish dance in which you usually have moraccas or sombreros lol. But im sure you know what im talkin about)

Even Legolas and the king joined in near the front of the line. It was quite a sight in which would be remembered for all times..Victoria started to laugh happily. It was certainly a sound not heard by much. But a nice sweet laugh it was...

and like that..during the night the merrymaking continued.....all to make laughs..all the make wishes..and all to keep memories..
