Princess Circe: He he, Okies, I continue! Yay hooray and all that good stuff!
Anyway, thanks so much **hands a choco chip cookie (or whatever kind you like best) and a strawberry laughy taffy thing to each of the reviewers and grins... now on with the story…and like my crazy band director says, I am my worst chipmunk…uh, critic…I meant critic… ((This is what happens when you give me caffine, a word program, a keyboard, a computer, and an idea for a semi plot late at night…be afraid…be very afraid…))
Disclaimer: Must I do this? Oh yeah, I kinda have to…all right, you should know this already, but all Tolkein characters, the city of Lothlorien, and anything else you recognize from the books is not mine, so don't sue me…you'll lose money, trust me…a lawyer costs more than I have…I do own Ania, Gabby, the semi plot, and this blueberry muffin **waves it around**…. And I wished I owned Frodo/Elijha Wood…but that's beside the point, so I shall stop rambling now…cheers!
"Legolas?" said a small voice outside the prince's door. He got up and opened the door, and smiled down at Ania. "You wished to speak to me?"
"Yes, of course!" he said, and grinned, stepping out into the hall. "Would you like to take a walk through the gardens, or have you tired of that for today?"
"I would never tire of the gardens, if I spent every hour there, I would never find any less interest in them. Come, I am sure you have much to tell me!" she said, then hugged him. "You have no idea how glad I am you are home!"
"I do know, because I am just as glad to be home!" said Legolas, "Many times I thought I would never get to see you again…or Gabriella…"
The corners of Ani's mouth twisted into a smile. "Gabby has waited for your return." She said and looked up at her tall brother. "Ever day she told me you could come home, and I kept saying, 'Gabby, you are crazy!', but here you are!"
"Alas, I cannot stay." Said Legolas, looking at the floor. "Though it pains me to leave you again, I am afraid we must, we are on a quest, and we can't just stay here forever and forget about that."
"I supposed that it was too good to be entirely true!" said Ani, but she smiled at him. "The important thing is, you are here for a time."
"And I am glad of that." He said as the walked into the large gardens around the palace.
"Now, brother, tell me of all your adventures!"
He told her everything, starting with the Council of Elrond and ending with entering Mirkwood.
"And from Lorien, I brought you this." He said, drawing a silver necklace from his pocket. The rose shaped pendant shimmered in the moonlight as she put it around her neck.
"Oh, Legolas, It's beautiful!" she exclaimed, smiling at it. "But I could not accept such a gift!"
"It was made for you." Said her brother, smiling. "You must keep it, baby sister. Though, you are not a baby any longer, are you? My friend Frodo has taken quite a liking to you, though he seems reluctant to show it."
Her mouth hung open, and did not close until Legolas pushed it gently shut and waved his hand in front of Ani's face. "Shall I tell him you feel the same?" he asked with a slight smirk.
"No! I don't…NO!" she exclaimed, blushing brilliantly. "Legolas, you wouldn't! I don't like...AH!"
"Of course you don't like him!" Legolas said sarcastically, trying to keep a straight face. He then dropped his mouth open, and stared straight ahead, imitating her.
"I did NOT look like that!" she said, hitting him in the arm.
"You did too, because you are deeply and madly in love with my friend!" he said, laughing and trying to duck another punch.
"Gabriellaaaaa…" Ani crooned, causing Legolas to hit her that time. She ducked under his arm, but her caught her, and picked her up. Spinning around with Ania dangling upside down, Legolas didn't notice Ani grabbing his ankle until it was too late. He fell over and she got up, running. He was soon back on his feet, and chased after her through the gardens.
The next morning, Ania stood on her balcony, watching the sunrise. She heard footsteps behind her, and turned around. Two big blue eyes watched her from the darkness of her room. Turning back to the sunrise, she smiled. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Frodo smiled and stepped closer to the door, not into the light yet though. "Yes, but only a mere shadow of your own beauty." He said, and she felt his eyes on her.
"You flatter me, Frodo Baggins, for I would never be that beautiful. The sunrise and the sunset, and nature's beauty is more than anyone, even the fairest of elven maidens, can compete with." She said, and turned around. "Are you a poet, writer, or simply a charmer to put maidens in his trance with those blue eyes of yours, and your flattering words?"
He laughed, and stepped onto the balcony. "I am none of those, milady. I simply am inspired," he said, and smiled at her, "by your beauty."
"Then come with me, if you do not plan to put me in a trance and steal my heart, then break it by giving it back." She said, and smiled. "Let us watch the sunrise from the best place in the Palace."
She leaned against the rail and played with a charm on her necklace absently, sneaking glances at Frodo when she could. She was definitely falling for him, but was he falling for her, too? She didn't know, and wasn't sure she wanted to.
While watching Ania, Frodo saw her turn to look at him, and felt the color rise to his cheeks. He noticed a slight tinge in her face too, but shrugged it off. "Well, I have to say that with you here, I find it hard to watch the sunset, for my gaze is drawn to you, Frodo." She said, cocking her head and looking at him.
"I do not need to watch the sunset, because I see it reflected in your hair and eyes, but being made ten times more beautiful." Said the hobbit, looking down at her. She had forgotten the sunset, and was staring at him intently.
"You truly are a charmer, but I hope that if you take my heart away, you do not break it." Said Ania, and she took Frodo's hand. "You have been through much, too much for your few years, more than I have in all of mine."
He said nothing, but they drew closer and their faces were inches apart, when there was a banging on Ani's bedroom door, and it burst open. "Ani, breakfast is almost ready, so you should get dress-," said Gabriella, but she stopped in mid-sentence when she saw Frodo embracing Ania on the balcony. "-ssed…"
"Well, I'll just be leaving now…" he said, and walked out the door. Ani watched him, then glared at Gabby.
"Gabriella Shaine, today of all days you get up like a normal elf!" exclaimed Ani, throwing her hands up in the air. She seemed to regain her composure, and said in a very calm voice, "Now, what were you saying?"
"Breakfast is going to be ready…so you should…you now, get dressed…." Gabby said, and then grinned widely. "And then you have to tell me EVERYTHING!"
"There's nothing to tell! We watched the sunrise!" said Ani, her cheeks going red.
"Yes, you just watched the sunrise, holding hands and staring at each other! And I bet you kissed!" she said, giggling.
"No, I…we didn't!" Ania said as she pulled a gold colored dress over her head. "We only watched the sunrise and talked a bit."
But we would have kissed, if Gabby hadn't come…she thought, and shook her head.
Gabriella shook her head with a smirk. "Sure, you weren't even thinking about it…" she said sarcastically, and caused an earring to go flying from Ania's hand toward her.
As the two girls walked to breakfast together, giggling, they got many strange looks from other elves, but ignored them. Ani felt like she was walking on air until they entered the dining hall. Frodo was sitting at the table, talking to her brother and waiting for breakfast. Their eyes met, and Ania froze for a moment. Gabby pushed her gently, and she continued walking, looking away, and feeling her cheeks go red.
This is going to be awkward…she thought as she sat down. She found that through breakfast, she was staring at her plate through most of the meal. Her eyes met Frodo's a couple of times, and they turned away quickly when this happened. Gabby sat, watching them, and looking like she was about to burst out laughing, as Frodo and Ania had pointedly taken seats as far away from eachother as possible.
