Willow twirled one of her arrows around in her fingers as she waited for Legolas to show up. She had changed into a dark blue tunic and leggings. Most more comfortable than that dress! Willow thought.

"Are you ready?" Legolas asked walking up carrying his bow.

"Totally."

Legolas raised his eyebrows. She speaks strangely not like any of the other maidens. He shook his head and smiled at Willow.

"Aim for that target over there," he pointed to a target not too far away.

Willow sighed and fitted an arrow to her bow. The arrow hit dead center. Willow smiled.

"You turn, Your Highness."

Legolas aimed his arrow and hit the target dead center as well.

Willow shrugged and turned to walk away.

"Willow."

She turned around.

"Yes?"

"Your lessons start tomorrow morning, my father told me to tell you."

He smiled.

"What lessons?"

Legolas looked a bit shocked.

"Didn't anyone tell you?"

Willow shook her head.

"Lessons how to learn to become a lady. I understand that it was father's idea."

Willow didn't move.

"He thought that since you were going to be here you might as well learn to be a Lady."

Willow picked up her bow and walked off to her room very quickly.

Willow was fuming! Lessons to become a Lady? How dare he! I am no Lady and I never wish to be one!

*~*~*

A knock on the door woke Willow up the next morning. A maid walked into and pulled back the curtains.

"Willow you must get up! Once you have dressed please report to the hall."

The maid left and closed the door behind her. Willow got up and had a bath and then discovered what she had to wear. Grumbling to herself she put the long white dress on with the white slippers and brushed her hair. Then she walked quickly to the hall.

"There you are Willow!"

Willow smiled at the head maid who was working towards her.

"Why are you walking so slowly?"

"If I walk any faster I am going to trip over this dress and land flat on the floor!"

The head maid smiled trying not to laugh.

"Well I assume you are eager about having these lessons?"

"You have to be joking."

Willow sat down in a chair.

"No. The lessons start now. Can you not even sit down properly?"

Willow felt confused. There's a special way you have to sit down?

"No."

The head maid sighed.

"Let's start with walking right."

She put a book on Willow's head.

"Now walk over to the door and back again. Back straight."

Willow walked over to door and started to walk back. Hey this easy! Her foot caught on the edge of a tablecloth and fell forward taking the tablecloth with her.

The head maid walked over to her.

"I can see this is not going to easy. Lets start again. We will do this until you get it right!"

Willow groaned.
