A/N: Yet another chapter in my fic. I have no idea how many pages this story takes up, but it's the longest story I've ever written, so I hope you've enjoyed it so far. I want reviews, so please review the story, and if you want, read my other fic or some of my poetry. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own what Tolkien doesn't.

I decided to follow my heart, for once. I didn't waste any time looking for Legolas, and I found him sitting by the Celebrant. I was a little bit nervous, but I knew what I had to do.

He looked up in surprise, and answered with a bitter hatred. What do you want? I thought you didn't trust me to tell you the truth.

I didn't know what I was saying! I listened to what my head was telling me instead of what my heart was telling me. I want to hear what you have to say in the matter, and I promise, I will not pass judgment so quickly this time.

All right, I will tell you, but I still can't figure out why you always listen to your head instead of your heart. I was trying to sleep, but I could not that night, because something was troubling me. Then I heard you talking, and I figured out that you were saying out loud was what you were writing in your diary, so I did not disturb you from writing, and then what you were saying intrigued me. I just didn't know how to tell you after that that I had been listening to what you were saying. I felt obligated to tell you, though, because I did not want to be living a lie. Do you understand?

I sighed heavily. I knew that this would not be easy, especially since he did that, but I understood why he did it. I understand, and although my mind does not completely forgive you, my heart does.

As soon as those words left my mouth, his lips were pressed softly against mine. I knew that I loved him, and that he did not care that I was not a noble woman. I shattered the barriers that had built back up, and I let my emotions flow freely throughout my body as I kissed him, now passionately, and we went to my room. I wasn't ready to go further, and I knew that he would understand. He always had understood. I decided to tell him when he started to undo my dress. Legolas, wait. I know that you want to go further, but I'm not ready yet. I don't want to do something until I'm completely ready, and I'm not right now.

I understand. I am just so in love with you that I didn't want to wait. I wanted you, heart and soul and body.

For now, you will have to deal with just my heart and soul. My body you will get on our wedding night.

Wedding night?

Don't tell me that you have changed your mind and do not want to become betrothed with me. I said slyly. With that he picked me up and swung me around.

I wouldn't dream of taking it back. With that he swung me around, and kissed me passionately again. I knew that we would love each other until the end of time.

Someone knocked on the door. I answered it, to find Aragorn looking surprised and pleased that Legolas was there with me. It's good to see that you have taken the advice of the wise. But I have more pressing matters at hand. I have come to a conclusion that we must depart this fair city in two day's time. If we do not, I fear that we will not be able to reach our destination in time for the ring to be destroyed.

Very well. Have you told the others yet?

Yes, they were the first ones to know. We could not find the two of you, because you had snuck off, and I know that you must want to be alone. so I will leave you two. Good night.

Good night, old friend. I will see you tomorrow. Now, where were we?

I believe that you were kissing me, dear Legolas. I fear, though, our betrothal must wait until after the journey's end. I do not want it to be, I want to be as soon as possible, but I fear it must be at a later date than we would have planned.

Oh, how my heart pines to be vowed forever yours, I wish not to be near you but to be part of you.

Oh, but you are, Legolas, you really are. You have broken the barriers that I had kept up over my heart for so many years, and you have shown me that it is possible for me to love, and for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I never felt so free to express my emotions, so I had to express them in the way that I could best explain them, though words could not describe the ecstasy that filled my heart. I was, for the first time, truly happy.

Just then, there came another knock on my door. Come in, I said, wondering who it could be this time. I gasped when I saw that it was one of my former tormenters, the most beautiful Elven maiden in Lôthlorien, and she was standing right in front of me.

Well, well, well. If it isn't Celena, my old friend.

Hello, Airedel. I didn't know that you knew that I was in town, or else I would have left sooner.

I see that you have found some fool to make your pathetic self happy.

You would do well to not speak so flagrantly about royalty, I shot back, now irritated.

Like a royal would even dream of liking you, although he is quite handsome.

Hello, Lady Airedel. I am Legolas Greenleaf, son of Thranduil, King of Mirkwood.

She dropped her mouth in surprise, anger, and horror. I am sorry, Prince Legolas. I did not know it was you. I would not have behaved so poorly if I had known.

It would not matter, you should not treat anyone with such disrespect. I believe that you owe Celena an apology.

You actually like her, when you could have someone as beautiful and irresistable as me?

I am waiting to hear your apology. I do not find you irresistable, because you are outright rude, and cold, heartless, and cruel.

I refuse to apologize to that *thing*, because she is horrid, and she is ugly.

For your information, she is wonderful, and she happens to be the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen. Either apologize or be gone from my sight, because the sight of you disgusts me.

Fine, it is your loss. With that she stormed out of the room. I was grateful to Legolas, and I stared at him in wonder.

I meant it when I said that you were the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen. I get sick of girls chasing after me, and I also get sick of girls like her who think that they can push anyone aside to get what they want. I want to be with you, and you alone. I do not want a girl who is *supposedly* the prettiest girl in any place, because they are normally the ones who want to push people around, and they are not normally as pretty as everyone believes they are.

And you are the only prince I've ever met who does not see eye to eye with the rest of the noblemen in that.

Of course, I'm the only prince you've ever met in your lifetime.

A/N: I had to leave it there, because I wanted to see if that chapter was any good. Sorry it was a bit short. I also had a lot of sap in there, and that was influenced, unintentionally, by the fact that I'm reading Romeo and Juliet in English class. I will be away from computers on the 17th to the 21st, because I get to go to Disney World! Yeah! I am going for a band competition, so if you are in the competition, I might actually see you there! Anyway, wish me luck, I have a feeling I'm gonna need it with the visual that our instructor has created for us. Don't forget to review!

P.S. Anyone know of something I could do to this guy in one of my classes to get even with him for being an asshole? If you do, just send me an e-mail at LegolasALS@aol.com. Thanks!
