E/N: OMG-ess!!! I went to the barber the day before yesterday, and she cut
me hair really short, and the next day i painted it brownish, and now i
have the same hairdo as Elijah Wood!!! And yes, I'm a girl… Something went
terribly wrong… I wanted the same hairdo as Orlando Bloom… : ( I love
that cute little mohawk-kinda-thingy…
Disclaimer: I don't own any LotR characters, only Endomiel and the rest, oh, and count out the ones I've borowed from other writers!! So, no I don't own Legolas Greeleaf, nor Orlando Bloom, but then again, orlando's not in this story. Will the one who owns either of them e-mail me? I'd pay a lot to borrow them for a few days…ot longer… : )

Chapter 7; Finnaly, WEEKEND!!! A musical chapter
Halimath 6th, 1384 (Shire reckoning)
Hi readers!!!
Weekend has finnally arrived!! It sure beats school!
Anyway, I set my alarm clock for 8:00 last night, well, not really my alarm clock, it's more Éowyns then it is mine, but she let me borrow it, and therefor I got up early this morning. (Yes, in my eyes 8:00 is very early, I usually sleep 'till 9:30 in the weekend!) I took a shouwer and got dressed in another pair of baggy jeans, but these are of the worn-off kind, you know, with all the lighter coloured pad-kinda-thingys on the knees and behind. Makes me wounder if I actually packed other types of jeans. Took a look in my bag, and found out I had packed other kind of jeans. I'll see if I'll wear them. Thought about it, and I don't think so! Worked myself into a tight top, white with red ¾ sleeves, and a sign across my chest saying 'Famous kisses, 100% garuteed' (E/N: you know, I'm actually wearing that shirt right now!! And yes, I do have that shirt!! (otherwise I wouldn't be wearing it, don't you think??) Would I lie to you guys? ).
Okay still 17 minutes to go… 16 ½ … 16 ¼ … 16 1/8… Oh man, can't the time go any faster?? Yee! Only 16 minutes… I started pacing around through my room. The others were still fast asleep. I could hear Rosie giggle in her sleep. 'No, c'mon, don't do that…' She giggled some more.
What did she just say? Did she say what I think she said? Okay… I walked over to the door.
"I could go over to the guys and wake them up." I thought.
"Don't be silly, they're up already! They're prbably taking a shouwer or something."
"O, right, better not go there then."
"Am I talking to myself?"
"Yes you are."
"Cool!"
"Or scitzo."
"Cool!"
I paced through the room. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. I turned aroud and looked at the clock. Another 15 minutes 'till they're supposed to show up. I opened the door. Legolas was standing behind it.
'Hi Legolas. You're early.'
'I am? I tried so hard not to be late…'
'You're not late.'
'Then it worked!'
'Hey, come in man.' I said as I let him in.
'Is that okay with the others?'
'Well, they're still asleep, so you have to be very quite.'
'Okay.' We walked into my room. 'It looks like you cleaned you room.' (he was in my room a few days ago, remember??)
'Yeah, Arwen made us do that yesterday.'
'Pretty mean.'
'No, she helped too, but I thought our room wasn't really a mess yet.'
'It was.'
'You think? Well, it wasn't a mess, it's art.'
'Sure Endomiel, sure.'
'13 minutes and counting…' I said.
'What?'
'They'll be here in 13 minutes!'
'Your exited, aren't you?'
'Yeah! I want to see the valley! I bet it's beautiful…'
'I bet it is.' Legolas said as he sat down on a chair.
'12 minutes…'
'Stop it.'
'What?'
'The countdown.'
'Why?'
'You're anoying me!' Legolas whispered. 'What are you doing?'
'I'm tumb-wrestling agains myself.'
'Agains yourself?'
'Yeah.'
'Isn't it a two persone game?'
'Wanna play?' (The game, you sick minded readers!!)
'Sure.' We locked our hand together and started tumb-wrestling. You do know what tumb-wrestling is right? (Well, doesn't everybody?) For those who don't, I'll explain it to you. It'when you lock you hands together, it doesn't work is you used both of you own hands, with the tumbs straight up. Count down 1…2…3… and start! The first one to get the other persons tumb suck between a hand an their tumb wins! Of course, I won every time… NOT! The first game, he won, second too, third too… and so on. With another 3 minutes or so left, we started another game of tumb-wrestling. Our hands locked and he counted down. 3…2…1…Start! This time, it actually looked like I had a chance of winning!
I moved our hands sideway to avoid losing. Then, suddely, I lost my balance, fell over and pulled Legolas with me. He landed right on top of me. Well, not right on top, but you know, leaning over me, 'cause our hands were locked together.
'Oh, I'm so sorry…' I managed to vaguely whisper as my head turned slightly red.
'That's okay…' He leaned over towards me.
On that exact moment, he lost his balance and did fall right on top of me. It didn't hurt, for we elves way as much as a pebble, or even less, but still, it was a very weired situation, about to get even weirder…
Someone knocked on the door. I knew who it were. Boromir and Estel walked in. I pushed Legolas off me and sat up.
'What's happenin' here?' Boromir laughed softly.
'We were, uh, tumb-wresling.'
'Yeah, sure.'
'Yeah, come on, we have to be leaving now!' I said as a walked toward the door. 'Do we have to get food, or are we coming back for lunch this afternoon?'
'Uh, we might as well bring some food, I guess.' Estel said.
'We'd better pack some stuff then.' I said I tried to walk out of the room.
'Endomiel, what are all those people doing in our room?' Éowyn was waking up. I shoved Boromir and Estel out of the room.
'Wich people?'
'Well, uh, Legolas for example. What's he doing, sitting on your bed?'
'Uh…'
'There's a guy on her bed?' Suddenly, Arwen was wide awake too. 'Endomiel!' she said in an accusing tone.
'What? I didn't do anything!' I saw the look on their faces. 'Really, we were tumb-wrestling!'
'Sure, sure you were.'
'Arg! Legolas, we're leaving!' I said as I dragged him out of the room.
'Bye Legolas, come back soon!' Éowyn shouted to Legolas.
'I'm sure he will…' Arwen giggled.
'Those girls…' I said to Legolas. 'Sometimes…'
'I understand, or at least I think I do.'
'Trust me Legolas, you won't understand them, ever, just like I'll never understand them, neither them or guys.'
'Guys aren't that complicated.'
'I know, I understand them most of the time, but sometimes…' We walked into the mess.
'Ah, there you are! Finally made it huh?' Boromir said. I threw a superball at him. I always have a few of them in my pocket. I have a really big collection of superballs. You know, the bouncy little rubber balls that bounce all over the place when you drop one? Well, Boromir got an orange one soaring at his head.
'And it's a hit!' Estel cheered.
'Thank you, thank you! Thanks for your aplause!' I said as I bowed to the very few people in the mess. (yes, there actually were people in the mess at this insanely early hour)
'Nice throw Endomiel!' A She-elf shouted.
'Thanks Erel!' Erel's a friend of Kiarrah. They're not in the same class, Erelen's in F:b and Kiarrah in F:a, but they're from the same village or something like that.
'Endy, what do you want to bring?' Estel shouted across the mess. I walked over to him and had a look.
'I'd like one of these, and one of these, and one of these, and a bottle of this and some of these…' I packed the food and beverages in my bag, and also bought some of the candy from the shop. 'I would like some cinamon- pillows (dutch candy), sweet wood, uhw, chewing gum…'
'Stawberry, banana or original?' the sales-person asked.
'I'll take some of everything. Oh, and also some lollypops.'
'Wich flavour?'
'Throw some of everything in there.'
'Is that all?'
'Yeah, that will be all.'
'That's 9 Avosir.' I handed her the money. 'Thank you, here is your stuff.'
'Thanks.' I said and I walked back over to the guys, who were waiting for me at the exit of the mess. They were obviusly talking to Legolas. As I came in hearing range, they stopped talking.
'What were you talking about?' I asked them.
'Nothing in petikular, something about him, you, and tumb-wrestling.' I softly punched Boromir in the arm. 'Hey! cut that out! It was a totally innocent quistion!'
We walked outside. The weather was great! The sun was shining brightly and there weren't any clouds as far as I could see.
'Does anyone need to do anything before going to the valley?' Estel asked.
'Nope.' I said. The guys didn't need anything either, so Estel lead us to the cliff.
'We have to be very carefull not to fall down.' He said. 'I have two ropes, so we must climb in pares. Legolas, you climb with Enomiel, I'll climb with Boromir.' He trew us a rope. I tied it around my waist and gave the other end to Legolas. He tied that and around his, and we started climbing down. It was a really long climb down, but that was not what I was worrying about. I was worrieing about the way back up… a really long way back up…
We reache the bottom in a few minutes, and I walked into the open space on the plateau. The view was… stunning… beautiful… I was struck spechless.
'And, what do you think?' Estel whispered as he walked up behind me.
'It's beautiful…' I stumbled.
'You like?'
'I love…'
'Good.'
It was truly beautiful. From the plateau, I could see a little clear river some 10 metres down, and a heard of deer, around 100 metres away on the other side of the river, in the middle of a meadow… I felt like I could stand like this forever, but I sat down. Enjoying the view was a lot easier this way… I sat there for more than 10 minutes, and I could hear the guys talking behind me. I didn't quite chatch what they were talking about, but then again, I didn't really pay atantion to them, the view was too stunning… sigh…
'It's beautifull, isn't it?' legolas said as he sat down next to me.
'Yeah… really beatufull…'
Boromir and Estel walked down the trail next to the plateau. I could see the throwing rocks and pebbles into the stream. I layd down on my stomach, looking down over the edge. Legolas started singing a song.
'Ea-ta er titta n'sanya, ta feuya mi amin,
uin mine a uuva loomir
sinta-nyë n'ea-ta limbe, ea-ta i anmaar uin ana umin,
Amin anna ea-ta amin lindele, a sine ea-ta lyaa.
Lle nyarin oi-er, tana si ea-ta nai lindele.
Ta taura anwa naan, sii ta ea-ta car-ta,
Mere-nyë car-lyë'n ista, mere car-lyë'n ista,
Ta teke-nye mi quentli,
Ta vanima ea-koire,
Iire ea-lyë mi Palurin Amin.' He sang.
'Wauw, that's beautifull…' I said.
'Do you know what it means?'
'The most of it, I do.' Legolas blushed. 'I think it's a beautiful song, please, sing more.'
He sang on.
'Haara-nyë no minë tolla, a ea-nyë I litse,
Nan lin-re matholi, hein edonna amin athrado
Nan i aur-ea maar, iire teke-nyë sina lindele
Ea-ta an lie ve lle ta, ta tamba ta querna no
Ta en ea-nyë n'sinta, hanya ta natli ea-nyë
Lle sinta, amin n'sinta, toi laiqua an ninwa
Ea-nyë anwa maaloo-lyë
Lyaa henli toi i vanya henli kil-nyë
Lle nyarin oi-er, tana si ea-ta nai lindele.
Ta taura anwa naan, sii ta ea-ta car-ta,
Mere-nyë car-lyë'n ista, mere car-lyë'n ista,
Ta teke-nye mi quentli,
Ta vanima ea-koire,
Iire ea-lyë mi Palurin Amin.
Mere-nyë car-lyë'n ista, mere car-lyë'n ista,
Ta teke-nye mi quentli,
Ta vanima ea-koire,
Iire ea-lyë mi Palurin Amin.' (2)
'What a beautiful song!' I whispered.
'Truly Legolas, you have a talent for singing.' Estel said. He had climbed back up to the plateau too to enjoy the view. 'What's the song about?'
'Uh, well…' Legolas said.
'It's a song about how beautifull nature is.' I said.
'It's a nice song.'
'I know…' I said as I dreamily looked farther through the valley.
'Who were you singing to?'
'Uhm, Endomiel I guess…'
'Does she speak Quenya?' Estel whispered as he sat next to Legolas.
'Yeah.'
'Well, do you speak Quenya?'
'Yeah, of course.'
'Then we all know that song wasn't over how beautiful nature can be.' Estel said. Legolas blushed. 'Hey, I don't mind you two getting along, really I don't, but some other people may.' He looked at Legolas in a accusing way. Legolas turned away and layed next to me.
'What was that about?' I asked Legolas.
'Nothing.'
'Nothing?'
'Nothing.'
'If you say so.' We layed there silant for a minute or 10, until I spoke. 'Want a lollypop?'
'Sure.'
'What kind?'
'What kinds do you have?'
'Strawberry, lemon, peach, apple, banana, berrys, orange, I love orange, tangerine, pear, cherry, I don't like cherry, grape, kiwi, lime, pineapple, and many more.'
'Uhm, I'll take a kiwi.'
'Okay, here you go.' I gave him the lollypop.
'Hey, can I have one too?' Borimir had come up to eat something a few minutes ago. He had been staring at us ever since. It looked like Estel and Boromir were taking turns in waching us, waiting until something happened. Nothing was going to happnen, unless if Legolas lost his balance again and fell of the cliff. But he didn't, and all was silent once again. I threw Boromir a srtawberry lollypop, and started chewing on a orange flavoured one myself. Yes, I chew on lollypops, I chew on everything that enters my mouth. Well, maybe not everthing, but I do chew on lollypops.
A few hours passed, and the sun was now high up in the sky. As the day was coming, it turned out that Boromir and Estel wouldn't let us have a moment of privacy. Not that I needed any, I'm not planning on doing anything you know. But it would be nice to not have someone waching me by everything I do. Legolas and I had walked down to the river about 10 minutes ago, and to took my shoes of and started wading through the river. The water was neither warm nor cold, it was really nice, like a pool, but then streaming.
'Hey, I've got an idea! Let's go to the other side!' I suggested.
'How?' Boromir asked.
'Swim.'
'It looks cold.'
'It's not, it's pretty warm actually.'
'It is?' Boromir asked as he felt the water with his hand. 'Hey, it is!'
'Let's swim to the other side!' I said.
'How do you want to do that?' Estel asked.
'Uh, well, maybe with my arms and legs? I dunno, but isn't that how you're supposed to swim?' Legolas and Boromir laughed.
'What I mean is, how do you want to get your stuff to the other side whithout getting wet?'
'Oh, right, well, if one of you guys swims to the other side with a rope and ties it to a tree on that side, and we tie the other side to a tree here, Legolas and I will be able to walk over, and the other one of you two will have to climb over.'
'And who's the swimmer?' Boromir asked.
'The two of you have tho fight that one out.' I said.
'I don't think it's a good idea, we could stay on this bank today, and come back here tomorrow with our swimming stuff and waterproof bags and swim across.' Estel suggested.
'And there is also that idea…' I said.
'I'm for Estel's idea.' Legolas said.
'So am I.' Boromir stated.
'Okay, we'll be here tomorrow at, uhm, 9:00.' I said. 'That way, we still have enough time to get some food and stuff to bring.'
'Deal.' They all agreed with me. I silantly desided to be in the valley at 8:30, wich gave me 30 inutes for myself, but you guys probably got that part already, for you can all count, right?
'Hey,…' Estel said. 'Shall we bring Faramir and Éomer too tomorrow?'
'Sure.' I said. 'But no more, or it will get to crowded in the valley.'
'Okay. This will be our secret valley. Now everybody, shake on it.' We put all our hands toghered and swore to never ever show anybody into the valley, unless someones life depended on it, exept Faramir and Éomer, that is. They could enter too. A few hours later, we were running out of food, maily because of me and Boromir, and the sun was setting in the west, or was it east? Anyway, the sun was setting, and we found it time to return back to school for dinner. As Estel said that word, my stomach started to rumble… oops… well, what can I say, I'm just always hungry!
When we returned to our mess, most people were already eating dinner. We got our dinner and sat at our table with the rest of our class.
'Were have you been?' Arwen asked me. 'I haven't seen either you or Legolas the whole day.'
'And if you would have been looking further that you nose is long, you would have noticed that Estel and Boromir were missing too.' I said.
'I know that.' Arwen said.
Dinner was actually pretty boring, exept for that little thingy. After dinner, Legolas and I took a walk through the schoolyard.
'I liked the song you sang this uhm, morning I guess. Where did you learn it?'
'I heared it back in mirkwood, a girl from my class used to listen to it all day.'
'I like it.'
'Can you sing?'
'A little bit.'
'Can you sing for me?'
'Now?'
'Yeah.'
'I don't know any Quenya songs…'
'That's okay.'
'So lately,
been woundering,
who will be there to take my place,
when I'm gone,
you'll need love,
to light those shadows on your face.
If a great wave shall fall,
And fall over us all,
Then between the sand and stone,
Will you make it on your own?
If I could,
Then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go
When up high,
Or down low,
I'll go wherever you will go'
Legolas was silant.
'I know, I suck at it.' I said.
'No, no, I liked it.'
'Sure you did Legolas, and I've got big hairy feet.' We laughed.
The sun was now completely under, and the stars were blinking in the blue sky. Not dark blue yet, but not light either. We stood there for a while, looking at the stars.
'Look, that's the big dipper.' He said.
'Where?'
'Over there, in the sky.'
'Yeah, I kinda figuered the sky part, but where in the sky is it?'
'Right there..' he said as he took my hand and pointed it out to me.
'Now I see…' He moved slightly closer to me, and looked me in the eyes. Then, I could see a change in his eyes. He moved back and walked away, towards the rooms.
'Bye!' I shouted.
'Bye.' He said.
I walked to my room. I rushed in and slammed the door. I ravaged through my bag and threw stuff al over the place. I felt bad, but I didn't do anything. Why do I feel this way? I don't know. I truned the lights off, and sat on my bed. Arwen entered the room. She hardly looked at the ravaged room.
'What was that all about?' she asked.
'Not now Arwen, not now.' I said as I put my PJ's on. I craweled under my blanket and curled up into a ball.
'You like him, don't you? You can tell me, really. Your secret's save with me.'
'There's no secret Arwen, he's a nice guy, and I like him, but not in that way.'
'Than what was it that just happned back outside?'
'Have you been spying on me? You've all been spying on me, haven't you?'
'We just want to be sure that you're okay!'
'I can take care of myself, thank you. Now keep out of my life, okay?'
'If you want to talk, I'll be there for you, okay?'
'I'll think about it.' Someone knocked on the door. 'If it's for me, tell him or her I'm not here.'
Arwen walked over to the door. She slightly opened it. I could hear someone say my name.
'I don't know, I'll have a look.' She closed the door and walked over to me. 'It's Legolas.' She wispered. 'Do you want to talk to him?'
'No.' I said. 'Tell him I'm out having a midnight snack or something.'
'I'm sorry Legolas, she's not here. She's probably outside somewhere.'
'Okay, I'll go look for her there.'
That was yesterday, now, it's 6:57, and I'm wide awake, preparing for what may come. I know that what happned yesterday was probably just an exident, but somithing felt wrong, and if there's something I've learnd over the years, it is to follow my feelings. Nowonly if other people would do so too…
The feelings from yesterday-eve, they're still here, I don't know what to do with them yet. I don't want to get all sentimental over a guy, especially since I promised myself to stay away from guys in that way for a while, until I had things sorted out. Better sort them out soon, 'cause this is not working… I'll keep you guys up to date.
Namarië!!!
Endomiel
= 'It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside,
I'm one of those that will easily hide.
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do,
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
and you can tell everybody, that this is your song
it might be quite simple but, now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, hope you don't mind
that I put down in words,
how wounderfull life is, now you're in my world.
I sat on a hilltop, and kicked of some sand.
Well some of these forces well they, they got me quite cross.
But the sun has been shining, when I wrote this song
It's for people like you that, keep it turned on
So it seem's I'm forgetting, about these things I do,
You see, I'm forgetting if they're green or bright blue
Well, the thing is, I really love you,
You've got the sweetes eyes, I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody, that this is your song
it might be quite simple but, now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, hope you don't mind
that I put down in words,
How wounderfull life is, now you're in my world
I hope you don't mind, hope you don't mind
that I put down in words,
How wounderfull life is,
now you're in my world'
(E/N: Yes, it's that song, but slightly altered to the occasion. And yes, it's real quenya)
E/N: Hi hi!! Thanx for reading? You like? Or you hate? Tell me all about it in your reviews!!! Ba-bye now! : ) Endy (don't you dare call me that, or else…)
Disclaimer: I don't own any LotR characters, only Endomiel and the rest, oh, and count out the ones I've borowed from other writers!! So, no I don't own Legolas Greeleaf, nor Orlando Bloom, but then again, orlando's not in this story. Will the one who owns either of them e-mail me? I'd pay a lot to borrow them for a few days…ot longer… : )

Chapter 7; Finnaly, WEEKEND!!! A musical chapter
Halimath 6th, 1384 (Shire reckoning)
Hi readers!!!
Weekend has finnally arrived!! It sure beats school!
Anyway, I set my alarm clock for 8:00 last night, well, not really my alarm clock, it's more Éowyns then it is mine, but she let me borrow it, and therefor I got up early this morning. (Yes, in my eyes 8:00 is very early, I usually sleep 'till 9:30 in the weekend!) I took a shouwer and got dressed in another pair of baggy jeans, but these are of the worn-off kind, you know, with all the lighter coloured pad-kinda-thingys on the knees and behind. Makes me wounder if I actually packed other types of jeans. Took a look in my bag, and found out I had packed other kind of jeans. I'll see if I'll wear them. Thought about it, and I don't think so! Worked myself into a tight top, white with red ¾ sleeves, and a sign across my chest saying 'Famous kisses, 100% garuteed' (E/N: you know, I'm actually wearing that shirt right now!! And yes, I do have that shirt!! (otherwise I wouldn't be wearing it, don't you think??) Would I lie to you guys? ).
Okay still 17 minutes to go… 16 ½ … 16 ¼ … 16 1/8… Oh man, can't the time go any faster?? Yee! Only 16 minutes… I started pacing around through my room. The others were still fast asleep. I could hear Rosie giggle in her sleep. 'No, c'mon, don't do that…' She giggled some more.
What did she just say? Did she say what I think she said? Okay… I walked over to the door.
"I could go over to the guys and wake them up." I thought.
"Don't be silly, they're up already! They're prbably taking a shouwer or something."
"O, right, better not go there then."
"Am I talking to myself?"
"Yes you are."
"Cool!"
"Or scitzo."
"Cool!"
I paced through the room. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. I turned aroud and looked at the clock. Another 15 minutes 'till they're supposed to show up. I opened the door. Legolas was standing behind it.
'Hi Legolas. You're early.'
'I am? I tried so hard not to be late…'
'You're not late.'
'Then it worked!'
'Hey, come in man.' I said as I let him in.
'Is that okay with the others?'
'Well, they're still asleep, so you have to be very quite.'
'Okay.' We walked into my room. 'It looks like you cleaned you room.' (he was in my room a few days ago, remember??)
'Yeah, Arwen made us do that yesterday.'
'Pretty mean.'
'No, she helped too, but I thought our room wasn't really a mess yet.'
'It was.'
'You think? Well, it wasn't a mess, it's art.'
'Sure Endomiel, sure.'
'13 minutes and counting…' I said.
'What?'
'They'll be here in 13 minutes!'
'Your exited, aren't you?'
'Yeah! I want to see the valley! I bet it's beautiful…'
'I bet it is.' Legolas said as he sat down on a chair.
'12 minutes…'
'Stop it.'
'What?'
'The countdown.'
'Why?'
'You're anoying me!' Legolas whispered. 'What are you doing?'
'I'm tumb-wrestling agains myself.'
'Agains yourself?'
'Yeah.'
'Isn't it a two persone game?'
'Wanna play?' (The game, you sick minded readers!!)
'Sure.' We locked our hand together and started tumb-wrestling. You do know what tumb-wrestling is right? (Well, doesn't everybody?) For those who don't, I'll explain it to you. It'when you lock you hands together, it doesn't work is you used both of you own hands, with the tumbs straight up. Count down 1…2…3… and start! The first one to get the other persons tumb suck between a hand an their tumb wins! Of course, I won every time… NOT! The first game, he won, second too, third too… and so on. With another 3 minutes or so left, we started another game of tumb-wrestling. Our hands locked and he counted down. 3…2…1…Start! This time, it actually looked like I had a chance of winning!
I moved our hands sideway to avoid losing. Then, suddely, I lost my balance, fell over and pulled Legolas with me. He landed right on top of me. Well, not right on top, but you know, leaning over me, 'cause our hands were locked together.
'Oh, I'm so sorry…' I managed to vaguely whisper as my head turned slightly red.
'That's okay…' He leaned over towards me.
On that exact moment, he lost his balance and did fall right on top of me. It didn't hurt, for we elves way as much as a pebble, or even less, but still, it was a very weired situation, about to get even weirder…
Someone knocked on the door. I knew who it were. Boromir and Estel walked in. I pushed Legolas off me and sat up.
'What's happenin' here?' Boromir laughed softly.
'We were, uh, tumb-wresling.'
'Yeah, sure.'
'Yeah, come on, we have to be leaving now!' I said as a walked toward the door. 'Do we have to get food, or are we coming back for lunch this afternoon?'
'Uh, we might as well bring some food, I guess.' Estel said.
'We'd better pack some stuff then.' I said I tried to walk out of the room.
'Endomiel, what are all those people doing in our room?' Éowyn was waking up. I shoved Boromir and Estel out of the room.
'Wich people?'
'Well, uh, Legolas for example. What's he doing, sitting on your bed?'
'Uh…'
'There's a guy on her bed?' Suddenly, Arwen was wide awake too. 'Endomiel!' she said in an accusing tone.
'What? I didn't do anything!' I saw the look on their faces. 'Really, we were tumb-wrestling!'
'Sure, sure you were.'
'Arg! Legolas, we're leaving!' I said as I dragged him out of the room.
'Bye Legolas, come back soon!' Éowyn shouted to Legolas.
'I'm sure he will…' Arwen giggled.
'Those girls…' I said to Legolas. 'Sometimes…'
'I understand, or at least I think I do.'
'Trust me Legolas, you won't understand them, ever, just like I'll never understand them, neither them or guys.'
'Guys aren't that complicated.'
'I know, I understand them most of the time, but sometimes…' We walked into the mess.
'Ah, there you are! Finally made it huh?' Boromir said. I threw a superball at him. I always have a few of them in my pocket. I have a really big collection of superballs. You know, the bouncy little rubber balls that bounce all over the place when you drop one? Well, Boromir got an orange one soaring at his head.
'And it's a hit!' Estel cheered.
'Thank you, thank you! Thanks for your aplause!' I said as I bowed to the very few people in the mess. (yes, there actually were people in the mess at this insanely early hour)
'Nice throw Endomiel!' A She-elf shouted.
'Thanks Erel!' Erel's a friend of Kiarrah. They're not in the same class, Erelen's in F:b and Kiarrah in F:a, but they're from the same village or something like that.
'Endy, what do you want to bring?' Estel shouted across the mess. I walked over to him and had a look.
'I'd like one of these, and one of these, and one of these, and a bottle of this and some of these…' I packed the food and beverages in my bag, and also bought some of the candy from the shop. 'I would like some cinamon- pillows (dutch candy), sweet wood, uhw, chewing gum…'
'Stawberry, banana or original?' the sales-person asked.
'I'll take some of everything. Oh, and also some lollypops.'
'Wich flavour?'
'Throw some of everything in there.'
'Is that all?'
'Yeah, that will be all.'
'That's 9 Avosir.' I handed her the money. 'Thank you, here is your stuff.'
'Thanks.' I said and I walked back over to the guys, who were waiting for me at the exit of the mess. They were obviusly talking to Legolas. As I came in hearing range, they stopped talking.
'What were you talking about?' I asked them.
'Nothing in petikular, something about him, you, and tumb-wrestling.' I softly punched Boromir in the arm. 'Hey! cut that out! It was a totally innocent quistion!'
We walked outside. The weather was great! The sun was shining brightly and there weren't any clouds as far as I could see.
'Does anyone need to do anything before going to the valley?' Estel asked.
'Nope.' I said. The guys didn't need anything either, so Estel lead us to the cliff.
'We have to be very carefull not to fall down.' He said. 'I have two ropes, so we must climb in pares. Legolas, you climb with Enomiel, I'll climb with Boromir.' He trew us a rope. I tied it around my waist and gave the other end to Legolas. He tied that and around his, and we started climbing down. It was a really long climb down, but that was not what I was worrying about. I was worrieing about the way back up… a really long way back up…
We reache the bottom in a few minutes, and I walked into the open space on the plateau. The view was… stunning… beautiful… I was struck spechless.
'And, what do you think?' Estel whispered as he walked up behind me.
'It's beautiful…' I stumbled.
'You like?'
'I love…'
'Good.'
It was truly beautiful. From the plateau, I could see a little clear river some 10 metres down, and a heard of deer, around 100 metres away on the other side of the river, in the middle of a meadow… I felt like I could stand like this forever, but I sat down. Enjoying the view was a lot easier this way… I sat there for more than 10 minutes, and I could hear the guys talking behind me. I didn't quite chatch what they were talking about, but then again, I didn't really pay atantion to them, the view was too stunning… sigh…
'It's beautifull, isn't it?' legolas said as he sat down next to me.
'Yeah… really beatufull…'
Boromir and Estel walked down the trail next to the plateau. I could see the throwing rocks and pebbles into the stream. I layd down on my stomach, looking down over the edge. Legolas started singing a song.
'Ea-ta er titta n'sanya, ta feuya mi amin,
uin mine a uuva loomir
sinta-nyë n'ea-ta limbe, ea-ta i anmaar uin ana umin,
Amin anna ea-ta amin lindele, a sine ea-ta lyaa.
Lle nyarin oi-er, tana si ea-ta nai lindele.
Ta taura anwa naan, sii ta ea-ta car-ta,
Mere-nyë car-lyë'n ista, mere car-lyë'n ista,
Ta teke-nye mi quentli,
Ta vanima ea-koire,
Iire ea-lyë mi Palurin Amin.' He sang.
'Wauw, that's beautifull…' I said.
'Do you know what it means?'
'The most of it, I do.' Legolas blushed. 'I think it's a beautiful song, please, sing more.'
He sang on.
'Haara-nyë no minë tolla, a ea-nyë I litse,
Nan lin-re matholi, hein edonna amin athrado
Nan i aur-ea maar, iire teke-nyë sina lindele
Ea-ta an lie ve lle ta, ta tamba ta querna no

Mere-nyë car-lyë'n ista, mere car-lyë'n ista,
Ta teke-nye mi quentli,
Ta vanima ea-koire,
Iire ea-lyë mi Palurin Amin.' (2)
'What a beautiful song!' I whispered.
'Truly Legolas, you have a talent for singing.' Estel said. He had climbed back up to the plateau too to enjoy the view. 'What's the song about?'
'Uh, well…' Legolas said.
'It's a song about how beautifull nature is.' I said.
'It's a nice song.'
'I know…' I said as I dreamily looked farther through the valley.
'Who were you singing to?'
'Uhm, Endomiel I guess…'
'Does she speak Quenya?' Estel whispered as he sat next to Legolas.
'Yeah.'
'Well, do you speak Quenya?'
'Yeah, of course.'
'Then we all know that song wasn't over how beautiful nature can be.' Estel said. Legolas blushed. 'Hey, I don't mind you two getting along, really I don't, but some other people may.' He looked at Legolas in a accusing way. Legolas turned away and layed next to me.
'What was that about?' I asked Legolas.
'Nothing.'
'Nothing?'
'Nothing.'
'If you say so.' We layed there silant for a minute or 10, until I spoke. 'Want a lollypop?'
'Sure.'
'What kind?'
'What kinds do you have?'
'Strawberry, lemon, peach, apple, banana, berrys, orange, I love orange, tangerine, pear, cherry, I don't like cherry, grape, kiwi, lime, pineapple, and many more.'
'Uhm, I'll take a kiwi.'
'Okay, here you go.' I gave him the lollypop.
'Hey, can I have one too?' Borimir had come up to eat something a few minutes ago. He had been staring at us ever since. It looked like Estel and Boromir were taking turns in waching us, waiting until something happened. Nothing was going to happnen, unless if Legolas lost his balance again and fell of the cliff. But he didn't, and all was silent once again. I threw Boromir a srtawberry lollypop, and started chewing on a orange flavoured one myself. Yes, I chew on lollypops, I chew on everything that enters my mouth. Well, maybe not everthing, but I do chew on lollypops.
A few hours passed, and the sun was now high up in the sky. As the day was coming, it turned out that Boromir and Estel wouldn't let us have a moment of privacy. Not that I needed any, I'm not planning on doing anything you know. But it would be nice to not have someone waching me by everything I do. Legolas and I had walked down to the river about 10 minutes ago, and to took my shoes of and started wading through the river. The water was neither warm nor cold, it was really nice, like a pool, but then streaming.
'Hey, I've got an idea! Let's go to the other side!' I suggested.
'How?' Boromir asked.
'Swim.'
'It looks cold.'
'It's not, it's pretty warm actually.'
'It is?' Boromir asked as he felt the water with his hand. 'Hey, it is!'
'Let's swim to the other side!' I said.
'How do you want to do that?' Estel asked.
'Uh, well, maybe with my arms and legs? I dunno, but isn't that how you're supposed to swim?' Legolas and Boromir laughed.
'What I mean is, how do you want to get your stuff to the other side whithout getting wet?'
'Oh, right, well, if one of you guys swims to the other side with a rope and ties it to a tree on that side, and we tie the other side to a tree here, Legolas and I will be able to walk over, and the other one of you two will have to climb over.'
'And who's the swimmer?' Boromir asked.
'The two of you have tho fight that one out.' I said.
'I don't think it's a good idea, we could stay on this bank today, and come back here tomorrow with our swimming stuff and waterproof bags and swim across.' Estel suggested.
'And there is also that idea…' I said.
'I'm for Estel's idea.' Legolas said.
'So am I.' Boromir stated.
'Okay, we'll be here tomorrow at, uhm, 9:00.' I said. 'That way, we still have enough time to get some food and stuff to bring.'
'Deal.' They all agreed with me. I silantly desided to be in the valley at 8:30, wich gave me 30 inutes for myself, but you guys probably got that part already, for you can all count, right?
'Hey,…' Estel said. 'Shall we bring Faramir and Éomer too tomorrow?'
'Sure.' I said. 'But no more, or it will get to crowded in the valley.'
'Okay. This will be our secret valley. Now everybody, shake on it.' We put all our hands toghered and swore to never ever show anybody into the valley, unless someones life depended on it, exept Faramir and Éomer, that is. They could enter too. A few hours later, we were running out of food, maily because of me and Boromir, and the sun was setting in the west, or was it east? Anyway, the sun was setting, and we found it time to return back to school for dinner. As Estel said that word, my stomach started to rumble… oops… well, what can I say, I'm just always hungry!
When we returned to our mess, most people were already eating dinner. We got our dinner and sat at our table with the rest of our class.
'Were have you been?' Arwen asked me. 'I haven't seen either you or Legolas the whole day.'
'And if you would have been looking further that you nose is long, you would have noticed that Estel and Boromir were missing too.' I said.
'I know that.' Arwen said.
Dinner was actually pretty boring, exept for that little thingy. After dinner, Legolas and I took a walk through the schoolyard.
'I liked the song you sang this uhm, morning I guess. Where did you learn it?'
'I heared it back in mirkwood, a girl from my class used to listen to it all day.'
'I like it.'
'Can you sing?'
'A little bit.'
'Can you sing for me?'
'Now?'
'Yeah.'
'I don't know any Quenya songs…'
'That's okay.'
'So lately,
been woundering,
who will be there to take my place,
when I'm gone,
you'll need love,
to light those shadows on your face.
If a great wave shall fall,
And fall over us all,
Then between the sand and stone,
Will you make it on your own?
If I could,
Then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go
When up high,
Or down low,
I'll go wherever you will go'
Legolas was silant.
'I know, I suck at it.' I said.
'No, no, I liked it.'
'Sure you did Legolas, and I've got big hairy feet.' We laughed.
The sun was now completely under, and the stars were blinking in the blue sky. Not dark blue yet, but not light either. We stood there for a while, looking at the stars.
'Look, that's the big dipper.' He said.
'Where?'
'Over there, in the sky.'
'Yeah, I kinda figuered the sky part, but where in the sky is it?'
'Right there..' he said as he took my hand and pointed it out to me.
'Now I see…' He moved slightly closer to me, and looked me in the eyes. Then, I could see a change in his eyes. He moved back and walked away, towards the rooms.
'Bye!' I shouted.
'Bye.' He said.
I walked to my room. I rushed in and slammed the door. I ravaged through my bag and threw stuff al over the place. I felt bad, but I didn't do anything. Why do I feel this way? I don't know. I truned the lights off, and sat on my bed. Arwen entered the room. She hardly looked at the ravaged room.
'What was that all about?' she asked.
'Not now Arwen, not now.' I said as I put my PJ's on. I craweled under my blanket and curled up into a ball.
'You like him, don't you? You can tell me, really. Your secret's save with me.'
'There's no secret Arwen, he's a nice guy, and I like him, but not in that way.'
'Than what was it that just happned back outside?'
'Have you been spying on me? You've all been spying on me, haven't you?'
'We just want to be sure that you're okay!'
'I can take care of myself, thank you. Now keep out of my life, okay?'
'If you want to talk, I'll be there for you, okay?'
'I'll think about it.' Someone knocked on the door. 'If it's for me, tell him or her I'm not here.'
Arwen walked over to the door. She slightly opened it. I could hear someone say my name.
'I don't know, I'll have a look.' She closed the door and walked over to me. 'It's Legolas.' She wispered. 'Do you want to talk to him?'
'No.' I said. 'Tell him I'm out having a midnight snack or something.'
'I'm sorry Legolas, she's not here. She's probably outside somewhere.'
'Okay, I'll go look for her there.'
That was yesterday, now, it's 6:57, and I'm wide awake, preparing for what may come. I know that what happned yesterday was probably just an exident, but somithing felt wrong, and if there's something I've learnd over the years, it is to follow my feelings. Nowonly if other people would do so too…
The feelings from yesterday-eve, they're still here, I don't know what to do with them yet. I don't want to get all sentimental over a guy, especially since I promised myself to stay away from guys in that way for a while, until I had things sorted out. Better sort them out soon, 'cause this is not working… I'll keep you guys up to date.
Namarië!!!
Endomiel
= 'It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside,
I'm one of those that will easily hide.
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do,
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
and you can tell everybody, that this is your song
it might be quite simple but, now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, hope you don't mind
that I put down in words,
how wounderfull life is, now you're in my world.
I sat on a hilltop, and kicked of some sand.
Well some of these forces well they, they got me quite cross.
But the sun has been shining, when I wrote this song
It's for people like you that, keep it turned on
So it seem's I'm forgetting, about these things I do,
You see, I'm forgetting if they're green or bright blue
Well, the thing is, I really love you,
You've got the sweetes eyes, I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody, that this is your song
it might be quite simple but, now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, hope you don't mind
that I put down in words,
How wounderfull life is, now you're in my world
I hope you don't mind, hope you don't mind
that I put down in words,
How wounderfull life is,
now you're in my world'
(E/N: Yes, it's that song, but slightly altered to the occasion. And yes, it's real quenya)
E/N: Hi hi!! Thanx for reading? You like? Or you hate? Tell me all about it in your reviews!!! Ba-bye now! : ) Endy (don't you dare call me that, or else…)
