Author's note:

Hello on this beautiful Sunday morning! It's nearly winter in the Southern Hemisphere, New Zealand to be exact, it's FREEZING. If you call eleven degrees celcius freezing, like me. So I'm sitting here in my pink jacket and cute pink beanie fervently wishing it was summer already and school was out so I could be on a beach somewhere windsurfing, swimming and working on my tan. But unfortunately it's not summer so I'm sitting here writing and revamping this story... fanfic... thing. Yes. My friend Steph is looking into tickets to the Austrilasian premiere of The Two Towers which is going to be held here. I'm leaning on her, I so want to go!! It'd be a blast! If not, I'll be happy just bribing my friend William with an amount of money to get me a job at the Vault gift wrapping as that's where all the LOTR stars hang out and buy Christmas presents and get tickets at the Embassy the day after the premiere. It would be cool to meet Orlando Bloom because he rocks. And if I can't get a job at the Vault, I'll just go surfing at Lyall Bay cos it's the easiest and cheapest option. But anyway. Disclaimer: It is an unfortunate fact that I don't own Legolas or LOTR, but I don't. However, Alice is my own creation from my insane brain.

Chapter 8 – All is revealed.

It was a beautiful Saturday morning and Alice sat on the patio reading the Twelfth Night for speech and drama. She had first encountered it when she was fourteen and was spending time reading it now for her exam after her speech and drama teacher had requested it. As usual, she had a song in her head and as usual, she was humming it, to stop boredom from setting in. The early winter sun beat down upon her face and she couldn't help but lie down on the deck and soak it up. That was until Shari handed her the phone. It happened to be Beth, the one who'd conjured Legolas there in the first place wanted to go shopping with her, Gina and Carry. Beth's real name was Elizabeth but preferred to be called Beth or Liz. mainly because she hated the name Elizabeth. As of late though Elizabeth had chosen to be called Beth as she had recently become a Goth and mainly wore black and Beth sounded more well... gothic. Beth wanting to go shopping with Alice, Gina and Carry was a rare event in recent times. She was usually off with her Gothic friends. Alice agreed willingly.
"Mum, Beth wants to go shopping," She called up the stairs. "She wants to meet me in town. I'll take the train."

"That's fine," Her mother called back. "Be careful!" So Alice went and caught the train into town and met her friends in a little street that came off the Terrace.

"Hey guys," She said on her arrival.
"Hey," Said Beth dully

"Hiya Ali!" Gina chirped brightly. The contrast in tone between her two friends was unreal. Typical. "Carry will be here soon. She's trying to figure out how to parallel park." Alice giggled. Carry had just gotten her restricted licence and was having parking trouble. Soon Carry appeared all frustrated.
"I hate parking," She complained. "Why was it invented?"
"Yeah don't you wish they had valet?" Alice teased. Carry glared at her. The group toured off to Jay Jays, one of Alice's all time favourite shops along Lambton Quay, which considering there had been a huge earthquake there around 150 years earlier, it wasn't any where near a dock or the ocean for that matter. As they were walking down the alley, Alice realised her shoelace was undone as she nearly tripped over it. Beth realised her shoelace was undone too and untied it. Gina stood practising her pirouettes for ballet while Carry re-applied her lippy. While Alice was doing her shoe, she looked up to see someone who resembled her insane friend Rosaline who currently was over in Australia on an exchange. It took Alice about thirty seconds to realise the person was talking to her. She caught very little of what the woman said except for the words "tying of shoelace" And it being "Bad on public streets".

"That woman was talking to us you know," Beth remarked. "Oh my god and goddess she's telling off Carry for putting on lip gloss!" They dragged Carry and Gina away, all of them staring at the neo-nazi feminist woman with bemused expressions.

"What did she say?" Alice murmured walking away.
"If you want to be childish and start a fight you can be that way you bloody kids! I'll come down and hit you!" The woman called after them. The four girls couldn't contain their mirth any longer and burst out into giggles before realising they had angered the woman and she was running after them.

"Quick!" Alice gasped. "Into Jay Jays!" The four ducked into Jay Jays and grabbed things to try on so they could hide in the dressing rooms.
"Um can we try these on?" Carry asked the cute, male sales person. He nodded and they ducked into 4 separate changing rooms. Alice, being the tallest, looked over the door of her dressing room to see if the woman had followed them. She had. The man asked them if she was waiting for someone. The woman described the girls and her desire to kick their lily asses. The man called in shop security and the woman was taken out of the shop.
"Oh my god!" Gina hissed. "What the hell was that woman on?"

"Speed, Weed, Ecstasy, Fantasy, LSDs, Magic Mushrooms..." Beth and Alice recited. The giggles returned to the four resulting in strange looks from the customers and a bemused expression from the cute salesperson.

Legolas awoke to find that Alice had left the house to go shopping. He was relieved at this discovery, as it would most likely cure any resentment Alice had for him by entering her bedroom. Shopping, which Alice called retail therapy, always deleted any anger that was flowing around her system. He had a quiet morning reading one of the books he had found in Alice's room. It was a rather strange story about the most confused being he had ever heard about and her friends. The confused being who he found out to be called Josephine Alibrandi had issues because she was from Italian descent and living in Australia. Legolas found the writing and characters very strange and hard to read. He also didn't understand the plot, but the story was funny and good-humoured in most places and by the time Alice walked through the door with another females, he had finished the book.
"Oh my god. Alice, your elf is reading looking for Alibrandi," One of the girls, someone whose name he recalled to be Gina, giggled. Alice raised her eyebrows so high Legolas thought they would pop off her head.

"Looking for Alibrandi?!" She spluttered. "That's a total girl book! It lets men totally into the female mind! This is a TERRIBLE day for girls world wide!" The girls giggled at her blonde theoretic.

"It was not a bad piece of literature," Legolas remarked. "I just did not understand what being something that they called an Italian had anything to do with someone living in a place called Australia. Although I was quite disgusted at what this Josie got up to with her male friend. The author wrote it in graphic detail." The two girls burst into hordes of laughter.

"Legolas," Alice finally said between bouts of laughter. "It's what happens." Suddenly there was a sound of a car in the driveway.

"That'll be Carry and Beth," Gina stated. "How Carry manages to get off with passengers on her restricted without getting caught is beyond me." Legolas stared bug eyed at Gina. More females that giggled as much as Gina and Alice? He hated to think.

"We're back," Carry said entering first. She smiled flirtatiously once she saw Legolas. "Hel-lo Legolas."

"Good afternoon Lady," He replied. Beth followed after Carry. Beth's eyes widened in surprise.
"So... hot..." She mumbled, seeming to be dazed by Legolas's hotness.
"Beth, you remember Legolas, our elf Prince in residence," Alice said introducing them. "Legolas, I don't believe you actually got Beth's name. It's Elizabeth Brown also known as Beth."

"It is a pleasure to meet another one of Lady Alice's fair friends once more," Legolas replied politely while his insides screamed at all of them but Alice to disappear.

"Ok, please fill me in with information," Beth said flatly, still dazed by Legolas's presence.

"Yo Legolas. Sorry about my friend," Alice apologised. "I'm going to take her away now." Legolas watched as she dragged Beth away by the arm.

"So what happened?" Beth hissed.
"Ok, don't laugh," Alice began. "I've been teaching him everything he needs to know about the twenty first century, including Wicca or other wise he's just not going to get you, or me. Anyway don't tell anyone about this."

"Swear on the pentacle," Beth replied. "He's so hot! Alice, how on earth can you live with the guy and not be throwing yourself at him?"

"Oh yeah sure Beth," Alice replied sarcastically. "Do the words completely immoral mean anything to you?" Beth looked at her with a bemused expression. "Don't answer that."

The three girls ended up crashing at Alice's house for the night. They watched Moulin Rogue, which as usual ended with Beth muttering about how pathetic it was and all three girls bawling their eyes out. Alice was much aware of Legolas sitting beside her. Mainly because Alice was crying buckets of tears and Legolas was squeezing her hand gently and whispering words of comfort while she was trying to convince him that yes, it was fine, and that the floods of tears were due to the movie, which was really sad. The four ended up having a girly slumber party, which Legolas was excluded from. At about 2 a.m. they managed to finally get to sleep. At around 3:15 a.m. Alice awoke bathed in sweat. That nightmare again. She switched on the lights outside by the switch next to the glass doors and walked out the glass doors on to the deck instantly regretting it. The cold late autumn air was freezing and she was only wearing her satin pyjamas. She would go back in very shortly, she just needed to catch her breath. Someone tapped her on the shoulder. Alice froze, trying to remember all mechanisms of self-defence she'd learned only to see it was Legolas, to her relief.
"What are you doing out here?" She asked, shivering.
"I felt in need to see the stars," Legolas replied. "Alice, when I saw into your dreams I was greatly intrigued by the one where you were lost in the forest."

It took Alice awhile to figure out what he was on about. "What? Oh yeah."

"It was much like the place I used to visit back home, Rivendell," Legolas remarked. "In fact it was Rivendell."

"Rivendell? In my dream?" Alice was puzzled. "What significance does that have?"

"I mentioned Lindelë to you, Elrohir's daughter, did I not?" Alice nodded. "You see I think I have found her whereabouts."

"Oh?"

Legolas gulped. "You see Alice, I think you are Lindelë, daughter of Elrohir."

Duh duh dum dum... Ok, that was also a pretty crap ending, but none the less. I'm going to get it up before the Te Papa concert! Yay for me! Anyway notes. Here you have to get 2 licences to drive before you get your full licence. At 15 you can go and get your learners and you have to wait until you get your restricted.
