Okay

A week later Legolas (who *still* hadn't left) entered the indoor training courtyard. Haldir was sitting cross legged beside Ademia who was doing sit-ups. (You know, I really hate sit-ups and I have to take one of those tests, so that's why I'm doing that. Oh, and did you ever notice how elves have a really flat stomach? I hate that!) "You know, you really should be training more slowly."
"Haldir, I am perfectly able of telling when I should stop training. And you-" (insert some odd number here) "are just my protector, not my baby-sitter."
"Mia, you could open up that gouge on your back if you keep going."
The female elf rose. Her face flushed red from the (insert some really high number here) sit-ups. She took her bow from where it sat. "I'll be fine, Haldir."
"I worry for you, you're just like... a little sister or something."
"'Or something?' Gee thanks."
Haldir laughed. "There's a feast tonight."
Ademia shot the bow. "Yes? So...?"
"Prince Legolas will be there."
Ademia shot again. "Yes?"
"You need somebody to escort you."
Ademia shot. "Yes?"
He took her bow from her a flung her in the small stream that ran through the practice yards. She gasped in shock, the water was cold, but not freezing. "Oh! Haldir!" She grabbed his arm and threw him in after her. The two of them dragged themselves out of the water looking like drowned rats. Legolas sniggered. He offered his hand to Ademia. She grabbed it. "Legolas, I wish to apologize for the way I acted. I was not in the best mood."
Then without waiting for an answer she flung him into the stream. Haldir laughed. Ademia burst out laughing at the look on her prince's face. He pulled himself out and wrung out his golden hair. Ademia got a look at his face and she stopped laughing and ran. Legolas took off after her. Haldir followed the two of them, still chuckling. Rumil and Orophin jumped sideways as they saw the golden-haired princess followed by the golden-haired prince followed by their golden-haired brother. All three of them with drenched hair, clothes, and skin. Orophin laughed. The two of them followed. They tried to shout out that Legolas's father was in the flet where her mother and father met visitors. Ademia skidded to a halt, her bare feet sliding on the slick floor. Legolas followed and Haldir, but Rumil and Orophin weren't so lucky. Both of them hit and they all landed at a tumbled heap. "Ooof! Get off! Getoff!" Ademia yelled.
"Ouch! Whoever is laying on my arm, get off!" Legolas yelled, his voice somewhat muffled by being smashed into Ademia's back.
"Rumil move off!"
"Ouch! I can't! Orophin get off my arm and I'll move off!"
"I can't! Legolas move off my hair!"
"Ademia's laying on my leg!"
"Haldir's laying on my feet!"
"Whoever is laying on my wrist, kindly remove yourself or I will hurt you badly!"
Eventually they all got themselves untangled. Ademia looked up at the five faces looking down at them. "Ooops."
Galadriel, Celeborn, Thranduil, and Legolas's two brothers stared down at them. Haldir rose and was brought back down by Rumil and Orophin using him as a stone to get up. They were all standing unsteadily on the wet floor in a matter of minutes. "Ademia!" her mother scolded. "I thought you were well into your 2000th year, not just on your way to your 500th!"
"I'm sorry, mother!" Ademia said. "We just got... involved with the... uh... interest of... uh... finding out about... uh...?" she looked to the other four. No one answered. Finally she sighed and hung her head. "We were in the practice courts and Haldir threw me in the water, and I threw him and Legolas helped me out and then I threw him in the water and he chased me and we all went splash! here." She spilled all this very fast and talked rapidly with her hands. Then she clasped her hands in front of her stomach.
Galadriel attempted to remain serious throughout this, but she laughed. Celeborn began laughing as well. Legolas's father joined in after a minute and his two brothers. Ademia breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay, there. I changed this chapter, I was going to have Ademia marry Haldir, but oh, this seemed so much better.
