E/N: Here it is, chapter 11. Amanfalathiel finally got her ability to post
back, so here I am, posting my next chapter. I don't know what to put in
my E/N, for the first time in my life I'm actually practically speechless!
Miracles do happen! Anyway, I'll get to the real writing, before I think of
something to write about :)
Disclaimer: I don't own any LotR characters; neither do I own any characters except the not LotR-related ones in F:c. O wait, I also have this cinema ticket and a train ticket from last night. But I don't think you'll care.

The 12th of Halimath, 1384 (Shire Reckoning)
Hi there!
Sorry for not writing a few days, but nothing happened, except that Legolas and I got a bit more, uh, attached to each other. :) Today was quite more interesting. Not a lot more, but nice enough to write about. And that's exactly what I'm going to do now.
Woke up early, and I saw the light! Well, that only means someone had opened the shades before I woke up and because my bed is next to the window, the sun was shining in my face. I turned around and tried to get some more sleep. And I turned… And turned… And turned… This wasn't working. I got up and took a shower. Stuck my hand out of the shower-cabinet-thingy and tried to grab my shampoo. Where was my shampoo? I stuck my head out of the shower. There it was, I guess *someone* had used my shampoo. Whoever it was, was in for big trouble. This is the last tube I have, and it is a special Shire shampoo. Someone will pay dearly for this, because I was already cranky when I got up this morning, and I this didn't make me any happier.
After the shower, I quickly got dressed in, what else could it be, baggy jeans, my sneakers, and instead of a T-shirt, I decided to wear a blouse today. Blue with long sleeves.
I walked out of my room, face like a thunderstorm.
'Good morning beautiful.' Legolas greeted me from his room across the hall.
'Are you wishing me a good morning, or are you stating that it is a good morning?'
'Uh, both I think.'
'It's not a good morning.' I grumbled.
'What happened to you?'
'Nothing. I'm perfectly normal and fine today.' I stomped to the mess, grabbed a tray, smacked food on my plate, threw my plate on an empty table, sat down and started poking my food. Legolas sat down next to me.
'Hiya, what're you eating?' He asked me.
'Food.'
'O. You're looking pretty happy today.'
'Buzz off twerp.'
'You know, there's this Quenya saying, it totally relates to you.'
'Please, go bug someone else with your smart-talk.'
'It goes like this:
Lyaa anta uuye lyaa luur,
Iire yeeta-lye minna I heyelle,
Kil-lye lyaa timpe.'
'Good for you, now shut up okay.'
'It means:
Your face is like your personal weather forecast,
When you look in the mirror,
You can see the bad weather coming.'
'Great, just great. Could you go and leave me alone for a sec?' Okay, so I am cranky, but I don't have to be happy every day, do I? Some people just don't get it, I'M CRANKY OKAY!!! He put his arm around my shoulder. 'Okay, that's it! I've had it with you!' I threw his arm off my shoulder, threw my stuff back on the tray, picked it up and stamped over to an other empty table. If he'd just leave me alone to get over my morning-crankiness (I'm sure there's another word for that), all would be fine, but nooooo, he had to stick around me and cheer me up. Damn boyfriend. I continued poking my food again. I didn't take a bite yet, because I wasn't really hungry. Come to think of it, I wasn't hungry at all. I heard the sound of someone sitting next to me. Don't tell me its… yep, it's Legolas again.
'Can I sit here?'
'If you promise not to say anything.'
'Promise.'
'You just said something.'
'Oops.'
'Did it again.'
'Sorry.'
'Oh, shut up already.'
'You got up on the wrong side of the bed, didn't you?'
'My bed's against a wall Legolas, there's only one side I can get up on.'
'Oh. That must be the wrong side then.'
*Sigh* 'If that was so, then wouldn't I be like this every day?'
'You got a point there.'
*AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!* He doesn't know what shut up means, does he? I clenched my fists. Seriously, I he'd say one more word, I'd punch him. Luckily, he didn't.
'Hi guys!' Faramir sat down on the other side of me. 'How're y'all doin'?'
*Sigh* Another guy that can't stop talking. And this one's even worse…
'Fine.' Legolas said. 'But Endy here is being a bit cranky.'
'Oh, It's that time of the month, isn't it?'
'IT'S NOT THAT TIME OF THE MONTH!!! I JUST WANT TO GET SOME REST!!! SOME PLAIN OLD TIME ALONE!!! PLEASE SHUT UP!!!' I yelled. Seriously, I'd almost cast a spell on them. Some kind of "help, I can't talk anymore" spell. *Grins evilly* 'AND MY NAME IS NOT, I repeat NOT, ENDY!!!'
'Do you see those flames in her eyes too? And what's with the grin?' Faramir said. Oops, I kinda forgot the flames I get in my eyes when I'm mad…
'I see them too, and the grin, well, it looks evil…'
'Oh, we'd better shut up now…'
'Yeah…'
'Yeah…' Oh finally, I get a chance to poke my meal in peace. Thank god-ess.
*Some 3 minutes later…*
'Hey!' Éomer and Boromir said as they sat across the table. I glared at them. Even more people… Does the hurting ever stop? (E/N: Any of you watch Eek! The cat? I do…)
'SSSTT!' Faramir said.
'Why?' Boromir whispered. Faramir pointed at me. 'Oh.' He smiled his "I know what you mean" smile. I hate when he does that.
'Hey guys, I'm going. I'm gonna help Elvea with her books.'
'We don't have class today Éomer.' I said.
'So?' That guy was in love. I could smell it from here… Not the love that is, but the overdoses of deodorant. Yeach. Boromir grinned his "I know what you're up to" grin. It's really getting annoying now…
'To all freshmen, at 12 'o clock there will be a class-picnic outside. We expect everybody to be there.' Gandalf's voice said over the speaker. 'All you have to bring is your self and your appetite.' Oh no, more time I had to spend with other people who insist on talking to me…
'Uhm, are you going to eat that?' Éomer asked.
'No.'
'Can I…'
'Take it.' I shoved my food across the table.
'Thanks.'
'Don't mention it.' I mumbled. I stood up and walked back to my room. Éomer and Elvea walked into the mess. Almost bumped into them, just missed them. Walked into my room and sat on my bed, back against the wall. Nobody was in the room, thank Eru. *Knock Knock* Who could that be? Wait, let me guess…
'Can I come in?' Yep, yet again, it is Legolas.
'If you want to.' He walked into the room.
'Hey.' He greeted me with a cheer.
'Hi.'
'How're you doing?'
'Fine.'
'Okay.'
'You?'
'Okay.'
'Oh.' He sat next to me and put his arm around my shoulders. I put my head on his shoulder.
'You're not okay.'
'I feel like shit.'
'How come?'
'I dunno, I just woke up this morning and everything went wrong.'
'Like…'
'Someone had used my shampoo!'
'That's terrible. I know what you mean, I hate when they do that.'
'Not funny!' I said, kind of laughing while doing so.
'Made you laugh.'
'No you didn't!'
'Yes I did.'
'Did not!'
'Did too!'
'Did not!'
'Did too!' he kissed me.
'Cut that out! I'm trying to make a conversation here!'
'Are not!'
'Am too!'
'Are not!'
*ARG!* I pushed him over and he fell on the bed.
'Not fair!' He pulled me down too.
'Of course it's fair.' I whispered. We kissed again. That moment, Arwen walked in. She already knew about us, but still, we were in an awkward position. I was practically laying on top of Legolas, we were kissing, and on a bed…
'OMG! I'm sorry, didn't mean to interrupt anything…' We sat up.
'That's okay Arwen. Do what you have to do, you're not interrupting anything.' I said.
'Sure I'm not. I'll just grab my stuff and I'll be gone in a sec.'
'That's okay, just take you time.' She quickly grabbed her stuff and walked back to the door.
'Have fun you two!' she said. I threw a pillow to her head. 'Hey, stop that!' She threw it back.
'Ha! You missed!' I cheered.
'No she didn't…' Legolas rubbed his head.
'Awww, poor baby.'
'Hey, I'm not a baby!'
'Sure you aren't…' I kissed him on his nose.
'I'll just leave you two alone…' Arwen said as she left the room.
We spent some time hanging in my room. Just talking and sitting on my bed, kissing every once and a while. I actually almost fell asleep at a certain point! Eventually, we just laid on my bed, my head on his chest, his arm around my shoulders, and my arm around his waist, looking out of the window, telling each other what we saw in the clouds.
'Hey, that one looks like a dragon!' I said.
'That one looks like you…' he said with a dreamily look on his face.
'I think I'll take that as a compliment…'
'Yeah, you do that.'
'What're you thinking of?'
'I'm thinking about what I'm going to do when I get out of high school.'
'What're you going to do?'
'I dunno, assuming I've told my dad I'm in love with you instead of what's- her-name, I think we'll be moving in together.'
'Oh.'
'Where do you want to live? Mirkwood, Lothlorien, here in Rivendell, maybe even the Shire…'
'Dunno, I want to travel first. I don't see myself settling down any time soon.'
'Not even with me?'
'Especially not with you.' Legolas looked at me with his deep blue eyes, disappointed look on his face. 'Just kidding. But I'm not settling down quite yet.'
'No kids any time soon?'
'Nope.'
'Oh.'
'Why're you asking?'
'No reason.'
'C'mon, you can tell me, I won't laugh.'
'That's not what I worried about.'
'Then what's your problem?'
'Nothing I guess... Here, I want you to have this.' He handed me a silver necklace with a turquoise green stone hanging on it.
'Wow, where did you get this?'
'I found it in the ruin, that day we went there. Somehow, it reminds me of you.' He put the necklace around my neck.
'Wauw…' I said as I looked into my mirror. 'It's… It's beautiful…' I could feel the evil magic aura hanging around it. That's probably the thing that reminded him of me… Probably one of those magic stones people, and elves, used to sacrifice to us, gods and goddesses. I could feel the aura grow as I wore it.
'It brings out the color of you eyes.'
'Yeah…'
'I noticed you don't wear any jewelry.'
'No, I usually don't. Somehow, jewelry gives me the feeling I'm committed, or even captured, like somebody tied me to something and I can't get loose.'
'Oh…'
'Hey, I don't feel anything with this one.' I said. But I did. I felt even worse with this necklace. I felt stuck to Legolas, like we now were bound together. Also, I didn't like the sound of that "moving in together" story… I don't like to be committed… Never did, never will. 'What time is it?'
'11:27.No, 11:28'
'Almost time for the picnic.'
'Oh right, almost forgot.'
'Hey, could you…' I made some kind of waving movement with my hands in the direction of the door.
'Why?'
'I need to change clothes.'
'So?'
'Shoo!'
'Hey, you watched me after I took a shower.'
'So?'
'I think I've got the right to sit here while you do whatever you want to do.'
*Ugh* 'Fine, be like that.' I grabbed my towel and walked into the bathroom. After a relaxing shower, I wrapped a towel around my body and stuck my head out of the bathroom. 'Can you hand me my clothes?'
'Why didn't you take them in before you took a shower?'
'They might get wet.'
'Oh. Well, get them yourself.'
'Ah! You *******!'
'Hey! Now I'm certainly not going to give them to you.'
'Damn.' I tried to walk over to my closet, but I wasn't quite working… I can hardly walk in a dress, not to mention a mini-skirt sized towel… All the way, Legolas was laughing at me. 'You could at least hand me some of my clothes!' I said.
'Hmhm, I guess I could do that.' Oh, what was he up to now? He walked over to the chair where I had hung my clean clothes. 'Here you go.' He handed me my bra and underwear. Damn, did he have to do that? *sigh*
'Thanks, I guess…' I said as I walked back into the bathroom. I closed the door and started to get dressed in the few 'clothes' he gave me. I opened the door and did a few steps towards the closet. Now, it was his turn to drop his jaw to the ground. I could see he was pretty overwhelmed by my appearance. I was pretty muscular, ever for an elf, and especially for a girl. I almost had a 'six-pack' stomach, and well, let's just say I'm I form. That's what you get if you do a lot of sports.
'What're you staring at?' I said as I put on my newest pair of baggy jeans.
'Nothing…'
'Sure.' The door opened and Arwen walked in.
'Oh my…'
'Arwen!?! Oh, this uh, this is not what it seems!'
'Sure it isn't…'
'No, we just took a shower…'
'WHAT?'
'I took a shower! I, I took a shower! Not him, I!' Legolas almost rolled on the floor from laughter.
'Shut up you!' I yelled to Legolas.
'Okay okay, I believe you!' Arwen said.
'I took a shower, it was me, I was the one that showered, the shower was taken by me…' I started with talking and ended with muttering.
'It's okay.' Legolas said as he put his arm around my shoulder. 'Just get dressed, I'll see you outside, okay?'
'I took the shower, it was I, I took it, the shower was mine…' I muttered. (E/N: don't you just love Townsville favorite villain, Mojo Jojo?)
'I'll take that as a yes… Bye!' Legolas walked out of the room.
'Bye!' Arwen said. I put the rest of my clothes on and fixed my hair. I made a ponytail and stuck it up or whatever you call that. Arwen left the room. I did my hair again, for it didn't look good at all. It didn't look good now either. OH NO! I'm having a bad hair day! Oh well, I'll just wear my baseball cap. I fixed my eyes with some make-up, don't know why, usually hate make-up, but my eyes looked too small, like I hadn't slept all night. I fixed that with white eyeliner. (Yes people, whit eyeliner makes you eyes look bigger! I know, I tried it :o) Another miracle happened, I actually looked quite normal, almost good, for a change. I unpacked my bag, in the way that I dumped my books on my bed, and I took it with me outside. I need the bag, it has the candy :o) Walked down the stairs, over to the lawn, and sat down with the guys.
'Hey guys.'
'Hi, how're you doing?'
'Fine, why?'
'Cause you looked pretty bad this morning.' I shot Faramir a glare.
'Like you're looking good. Is it me, or does your hair have a greenish glow?' The guys started laughing as maniacs, but Faramir didn't seem too happy. 'What?' I didn't know what I'd done.
'This morning…' Boromir laughed. 'This morning, we sat with Éomer and Elvea… and Faramir…Faramir said "Be careful with your girlfriend, Éomer" and… and Éomer said "she's not my girlfriend" and Faramir said "sure she isn't, and my hair is green" and then… like magic… Faramir's hair…' They all started laughing again.
'What? What happened?' I asked
'His hair…'They all started laughing again.
'C'mon, what happened?' I asked Legolas
'I don't know.' He said. 'I was with you remember.'
'Right, Faramir, what happened?' I asked Faramir, since he was the only one not rolling over the floor laughing.
'It's not funny! Stop laughing, all of you!!' Faramir shouted. Everyone turned around and faced Faramir. 'Uh…' He blushed. 'Go on, continue with whatever you were doing…' He said to the rest of the class. Boromir and Estel started to laugh even harder.
'Can somebody tell me what's going on?'
'Myhairturnedgreenthismorning.' Faramir whispered.
'Your hair what?'
'It turned green okay!'
'Oh.'
'C'mon, laugh already. It was really funny, as you can see.'
'I guess it's one of those "you had to be there" moments I don't see what's so funny…' Okay, I did… And I started laughing.
'Okay, laugh! Just laugh!' Faramir said. 'I'll get you all for this!'
'Hey Faramir, how come your hair turned green?'
'Elvea's stupid elven Magic.'
'Elven magic isn't that strong, it can't be.'
'She said…'
'How did you get it out?'
'She told me to wash my hair.'
'Did it work?'
'Yeah, but I guess you can still see it a little bit…'
'It's not that bad, girl just notice those things.'
'That's a comforting thought.'
'How do you mean?'
'Now all the girls will think I'm some kind of strange moron that paints his hair green.'
'It's not that bad really, it kinda looks good on you. I think it's cool.'
'Sure you do.' Hey, I really did. I like strange hair-colors. I've tried to paint my hair to, but instead of red, it turned pink, so I magically made it go away again.
Elvea and Éomer came walking over from the building. Either they were late, or we were early. I took a look at the sun. We were early.
'Hey Elvea, what happened to you crutches?' Arwen asked Elvea.
'I'm healed' She said.
'Yeah, Rían almost thought that there were higher powers at work' Éomer added laughing.
I immediately turned around, a puzzled look on my face. Higher powers? There's something not normal with that girl… They sat down with us.
I could hear the dwarves, Gimly and Lar, laughing in the corner of the field. Suddenly, Gimly stood up and walked over to Elvea.
'Hey Elvea, keep the smell down will ya? I could smell you on the other side of the field.' He said and he tried to turn around and walk back to Lar, but Éomer was up before he got the chance. He punched him right in the face. Gimly's nose started bleeding like, well, really bad. Blood dripped all over the place. If Gildor weren't standing a meter away, they would've gotten in a real fight. Well, not without me joining! I'd love a good fight, especially against such a stupid dwarf. Éomer sat back down, protectively close to Elvea.
'Don't take it personal Elv…ea. He didn't mean it. He's just a stupid Dwarf' he said. What's with the Elv…ea? Can't he just say her name? He put his arm around her shoulders. O come on! Oldest trick in the book! We grinned.
'Whoa, down boy!' Elvea said. Éomer took his hand back. Awww, shot down.
'Sorry 'bout that, I didn't mean it.' Elvea said. That was weird! What's her problem? First he touched her, she said no, now she's saying she doesn't mind. Yeah, whatever.
'You didn't?' Éomer said.
'No, I was joking'
'Oh right…' Now, that didn't make sense at all! She obviously doesn't know what she wants. 'So I really don't mind, I guess…' That confirms what I just told you, she doesn't have a clue about what she wants. Éomer put his arm around her shoulders again. We grinned again. She did that whole "What?" thing with her eyes again. Like she didn't know!
About an hour later, Gildor announced the groups for Freshman's-camp. I was in group two, Elvea, Arwen, Estel, Boromir, Faramir, Legolas (yee!), Éomer, Vebor (oh no!) and I. Only three girls, oh well. Elvea put down Éomer's arm, and laid down in the grass. She didn't look too good. I could feel the Magic in the air. What the **** was going on?
'Elvy, are you alright?' Éomer asked.
'I'm…Fine…' She mumbled. Elvy? Did he just say Elvy? No they're not dating, but they do have pet names for each other? Why don't I believe this? Hmhmhm…
Elvea stood up and ran away. Now what's the matter with her? Éomer ran after her. Now why did he do that? I could see them talking in the distance, but I couldn't hear them. They were standing pretty close to each other. Suddenly, Éomer put his arm around her shoulders. I couldn't see what happened next, but she ran off into the woods, looked pretty upset. Éomer walked back to us.
'What was that all about?' I asked him.
'Nothing…' He rubbed his cheek. It looked a bit reddish…
'Did she hit you?' I shouted.
'No, no, she didn't hit me…'
'Then what happened?'
'Nothing…'
'She hit him alright!' Faramir said.
The rest of the picnic went by pretty fast. Legolas and I talked a little when no one was watching, but that was like three words during the whole day.
'Hey, you're wearing the necklace.' He said.
'Yeah.'
'It doesn't make you feel stuck?'
'No, it doesn't.' It really didn't! I think I'm making progress here! For the first time in my life, I could wear a necklace and not even notice it. Go me!!
'Cool.'
'Yeah.'
'What're you two talking 'bout?' Boromir asked us.
'Nothing.' I said.
'Sure.' He continued his conversation with Éomer and Faramir.
After the picnic, around 5 / 5:30, we all grabbed our swimming-stuff and went for a swim in the valley. Just like Legolas is, oh and said, all those guys were, uh, well divined… Oh, that's just rude! Staring at those guys like that… I shouldn't do that…
The water was getting cold, in other words, I was getting cold. I walked over to my bag, to see I'd forgotten my towels… Damn. Just sat there for a moment, thinking of what I could do next. I couldn't just sit here, I might catch a cold. Oh, wait, Elves don't get sick. Lucky me. (E/N: in other words, the writer's got the flu…)
'Hey, whazzup?' Legolas sat next to me.
'I'm cold.'
'Get your towel.'
'I forgot to bring one…'
'Oh.' He turned around and grabbed his bag. 'Here, take mine.'
'No, no, then you won't have one.'
'That's okay, I brought two.'
'Oh.' He wrapped the towel around my shoulders and held me close.
'You are cold.' He said.
'Yeah, I know.' We just sat there for a moment. I could have sat there for the rest of eternity, completely happy. Okay, maybe not completely… But at least almost completely. I don't know what, but something was bugging me in the back of my mind. Like someone was poking me in the back with a finger, trying to tell me something. Oh well, I'll just ignore it for a while.
Some half an hour later, the other guys came out of the water.
'Hiya guys! Why did you go out?' Boromir cheerily said.
'Endomiel got cold.'
'Aha.' He winked. ARG! I hate when he does that!
'Time to go back.' Faramir said.
'What time is it?'
'19:00 or something like that.'
'Oohh! Dinnertime!' I cheered. I quickly put my clothes on over my swimsuit. 'Come on, hurry!' I ran to the cliff, dragging Legolas along with me. I climbed up as quickly as I could.
'You sure are hungry!' Legolas said as he reached the top of the cliff.
'Yeah, I am! C'mon, hurry!' We ran to my room. 'Wait here…' I said as I grabbed my clothes and ran into the bathroom. I quickly changed into some clean clothes, again.
A pair of low-hanging baggy-jeans and a short tight 'flaming' top, you know, one of those with a flame-print on it. The necklace looked really good with it. I walked out of the bathroom again.
'Hello there…' Legolas said.
'Like what you see?' I said as I did my hair. Tied it up in a knot-kinda- thingy and put my baseball cap on.
'I do.'
'Do I look good?'
'O yeah.'
'Okay then Time for dinner!!'
'Wait a sec, I can't walk in there dressed like this.'
'Hmhmhm, you're right.'
'Hey!' We walked to his room. 'Shall I wear this, or this?' He showed me two pairs of jeans. One baggy type, and a Skate type.
'Ooh, the skate one!' I said as I took a look in his closet. He took his pant and shirt off and put the skate jeans back on. 'Oh, and this shirt.' I threw him a shirt.
'Hey! Stop that! Get your nose out of my closet!'
*Evil grin* 'No…'
'Then I'll make you…' He wrapped his arms around my waist.
'Not fair!' I said. He kissed my neck. 'St… stop that…' I giggled.
'Why?' He whispered in my ear as we fell on his bed.
'We'll… We'll miss dinner…' I giggled.
'And that's really that important to you?'
'Ye…Yeah… Hungry…'
'Oh, sure…' I managed to work myself out of his arms.
'C'mon, put your shirt on, we're going to dinner.'
'Do I have to?'
'Well, we you could stay here…'
'We could…'
'No, you could, I'm going to have dinner.' I walked out of the room.
'Wait for me!' Legolas came running after me. 'We're going to have dinner together.'
'Oh, you decided to come anyway?'
'Yeah, might as well. Staying there alone isn't quite as much fun as having dinner with the guys. Oh, and you of course.'
'Gee, thanks.' We walked into the mess and sat down with the guys.
'Where were you two?' Faramir asked. 'What were you two doing? You didn't really …'
'NO!' I said.
'He, let me finish! You didn't really take that long to change, did you?'
'Oh…'
'What else did you think?' Oh, right, I forgot he doesn't know yet… Faramir shot me a "you didn't…" look. O Eru, got myself into a messy situation now…
'I dunno, let's eat!' I hoped that worked… We all stood up and walked to the kitchen.
'Oh no, you're not getting out of this that easily!' Faramir said as he took my arm.
'Out of what?'
'What's the matter with you and Legolas?'
'Nothing! We're just friends!'
'Really?'
'Yeah, what else? You don't think that him and me…'
'Well…'
'Oh, come on! You don't believe that, do you?'
'It's pretty absurd come to think of it…'
'Exactly. Come on, let's eat!' Phew, saved my self… that was close… Thank Eru these guys are that gullible. :o)
We ate our meals and all went our own separate ways. Boromir went for a walk, Faramir went to his room to do whatever he was going to do, Éomer went to look for Elvea, I doubt if he'd find her, Estel, I don't know what he was going to do, Legolas, well, he and I also went for a walk in the woods. But we walked in the woods behind the school. We found an open spot in the forest and laid there, in the grass, to look at the stars.
'Can you se the big dipper?' Legolas softly said.
'Right there, right?'
'No, that's the little dipper. The big dipper's over there.'
'Oh.' We just laid there, my head on his chest, his arm around my shoulders, my arm around his waist, just like we always lay. It must have been almost 23:00, because I could hear the teachers close the gates. 'We have to go back soon.' I said.
'We could sleep out here.'
'We'll get cold.'
'I'll keep you warm.'
'I don't think that's a good idea…'
'Why not?'
'Because… And besides, the ground isn't as comfortable as it looks you know, I've tried it before.'
'Nothing will happen…'
'I'm sleeping in my room Legolas, that's final.'
'We must go back then.' I stoop up. He stuck his hand out to me. I grabbed it and pulled him up. 'I'll walk with you.'
'You'd better!' I said as I ran to the front of the building, pulling him with me. I leaned against the door as I tried to push it open.
'Wait a sec…' Legolas said as he kissed me.
'Why…' I whispered.
'Just for that.' I opened the door and we ran through the mess. We walked to the rooms and leaned against the door.
'I guess this is goodnight.'
'I guess so…' We kissed again. Sure did a lot of that… :o) I leaned against the door some more, and one way or another, hit the doorknob. The door opened and we fell in. Luckily, nobody was in there, or was there? Oh no, Elvea was in her bed, awake, since she sat up. I could see Éowyn, Rosie and Elanor already asleep in their beds, Arwen wasn't there yet. She probably slept in her own house in the weekends, or something like that. We were pretty much laughing, while still laying on the ground. Legolas rolled on his back and laughed some more. I rolled over and laid practically on top of him, and then I kissed him. Legolas stopped laughing.
'Hey, she isn't supposed to know, remember?'
'She won't tell anyone, I'll make shore of that.' I could always erase the memories of tonight from her mind. 'See you tomorrow…' I said as I got up. Legolas got up too and walked out of the room.
'Bye!'
'Bye!'
'Oh my… what was that all about?'
'Nothing, we're in… uh…' I couldn't say it… I still can't…
'Yes…'
'We uh, like each other.'
'And you want to keep it secret.'
'Exactly. We'd appreciate if you can keep it that way.'
'Okay.'
'Okay.' I changed to my PJ's. We went back to sleep. About an hour later, when I was sure she was asleep, I walked over to her bed and held my hand over her head. I searched for the good memories. And again. Strange, either this girl has a magic shield, or she doesn't have any memories. Aw, man, who put a shield on her? Damn, now I couldn't alter her memories. Sh*t, now she knows too! If it keeps going like this, everybody will know in no time!
Oh well, might as well go asleep. I can also tell her she dreamt it. She might believe it, if she's as gullible as the other people I know. :o) Have to go to sleep now,
Namarië!!

The 12th of Halimath, 1384 (Shire Reckoning)
Hi there!
Sorry for not writing a few days, but nothing happened, except that Legolas and I got a bit more, uh, attached to each other. :) Today was quite more interesting. Not a lot more, but nice enough to write about. And that's exactly what I'm going to do now.
Woke up early, and I saw the light! Well, that only means someone had opened the shades before I woke up and because my bed is next to the window, the sun was shining in my face. I turned around and tried to get some more sleep. And I turned… And turned… And turned… This wasn't working. I got up and took a shower. Stuck my hand out of the shower-cabinet-thingy and tried to grab my shampoo. Where was my shampoo? I stuck my head out of the shower. There it was, I guess *someone* had used my shampoo. Whoever it was, was in for big trouble. This is the last tube I have, and it is a special Shire shampoo. Someone will pay dearly for this, because I was already cranky when I got up this morning, and I this didn't make me any happier.
After the shower, I quickly got dressed in, what else could it be, baggy jeans, my sneakers, and instead of a T-shirt, I decided to wear a blouse today. Blue with long sleeves.
I walked out of my room, face like a thunderstorm.
'Good morning beautiful.' Legolas greeted me from his room across the hall.
'Are you wishing me a good morning, or are you stating that it is a good morning?'
'Uh, both I think.'
'It's not a good morning.' I grumbled.
'What happened to you?'
'Nothing. I'm perfectly normal and fine today.' I stomped to the mess, grabbed a tray, smacked food on my plate, threw my plate on an empty table, sat down and started poking my food. Legolas sat down next to me.
'Hiya, what're you eating?' He asked me.
'Food.'
'O. You're looking pretty happy today.'
'Buzz off twerp.'
'You know, there's this Quenya saying, it totally relates to you.'
'Please, go bug someone else with your smart-talk.'
'It goes like this:
Lyaa anta uuye lyaa luur,
Iire yeeta-lye minna I heyelle,
Kil-lye lyaa timpe.'
'Good for you, now shut up okay.'
'It means:
Your face is like your personal weather forecast,
When you look in the mirror,
You can see the bad weather coming.'
'Great, just great. Could you go and leave me alone for a sec?' Okay, so I am cranky, but I don't have to be happy every day, do I? Some people just don't get it, I'M CRANKY OKAY!!! He put his arm around my shoulder. 'Okay, that's it! I've had it with you!' I threw his arm off my shoulder, threw my stuff back on the tray, picked it up and stamped over to an other empty table. If he'd just leave me alone to get over my morning-crankiness (I'm sure there's another word for that), all would be fine, but nooooo, he had to stick around me and cheer me up. Damn boyfriend. I continued poking my food again. I didn't take a bite yet, because I wasn't really hungry. Come to think of it, I wasn't hungry at all. I heard the sound of someone sitting next to me. Don't tell me its… yep, it's Legolas again.
'Can I sit here?'
'If you promise not to say anything.'
'Promise.'
'You just said something.'
'Oops.'
'Did it again.'
'Sorry.'
'Oh, shut up already.'
'You got up on the wrong side of the bed, didn't you?'
'My bed's against a wall Legolas, there's only one side I can get up on.'
'Oh. That must be the wrong side then.'
*Sigh* 'If that was so, then wouldn't I be like this every day?'
'You got a point there.'
*AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!* He doesn't know what shut up means, does he? I clenched my fists. Seriously, I he'd say one more word, I'd punch him. Luckily, he didn't.
'Hi guys!' Faramir sat down on the other side of me. 'How're y'all doin'?'
*Sigh* Another guy that can't stop talking. And this one's even worse…
'Fine.' Legolas said. 'But Endy here is being a bit cranky.'
'Oh, It's that time of the month, isn't it?'
'IT'S NOT THAT TIME OF THE MONTH!!! I JUST WANT TO GET SOME REST!!! SOME PLAIN OLD TIME ALONE!!! PLEASE SHUT UP!!!' I yelled. Seriously, I'd almost cast a spell on them. Some kind of "help, I can't talk anymore" spell. *Grins evilly* 'AND MY NAME IS NOT, I repeat NOT, ENDY!!!'
'Do you see those flames in her eyes too? And what's with the grin?' Faramir said. Oops, I kinda forgot the flames I get in my eyes when I'm mad…
'I see them too, and the grin, well, it looks evil…'
'Oh, we'd better shut up now…'
'Yeah…'
'Yeah…' Oh finally, I get a chance to poke my meal in peace. Thank god-ess.
*Some 3 minutes later…*
'Hey!' Éomer and Boromir said as they sat across the table. I glared at them. Even more people… Does the hurting ever stop? (E/N: Any of you watch Eek! The cat? I do…)
'SSSTT!' Faramir said.
'Why?' Boromir whispered. Faramir pointed at me. 'Oh.' He smiled his "I know what you mean" smile. I hate when he does that.
'Hey guys, I'm going. I'm gonna help Elvea with her books.'
'We don't have class today Éomer.' I said.
'So?' That guy was in love. I could smell it from here… Not the love that is, but the overdoses of deodorant. Yeach. Boromir grinned his "I know what you're up to" grin. It's really getting annoying now…
'To all freshmen, at 12 'o clock there will be a class-picnic outside. We expect everybody to be there.' Gandalf's voice said over the speaker. 'All you have to bring is your self and your appetite.' Oh no, more time I had to spend with other people who insist on talking to me…
'Uhm, are you going to eat that?' Éomer asked.
'No.'
'Can I…'
'Take it.' I shoved my food across the table.
'Thanks.'
'Don't mention it.' I mumbled. I stood up and walked back to my room. Éomer and Elvea walked into the mess. Almost bumped into them, just missed them. Walked into my room and sat on my bed, back against the wall. Nobody was in the room, thank Eru. *Knock Knock* Who could that be? Wait, let me guess…
'Can I come in?' Yep, yet again, it is Legolas.
'If you want to.' He walked into the room.
'Hey.' He greeted me with a cheer.
'Hi.'
'How're you doing?'
'Fine.'
'Okay.'
'You?'
'Okay.'
'Oh.' He sat next to me and put his arm around my shoulders. I put my head on his shoulder.
'You're not okay.'
'I feel like shit.'
'How come?'
'I dunno, I just woke up this morning and everything went wrong.'
'Like…'
'Someone had used my shampoo!'
'That's terrible. I know what you mean, I hate when they do that.'
'Not funny!' I said, kind of laughing while doing so.
'Made you laugh.'
'No you didn't!'
'Yes I did.'
'Did not!'
'Did too!'
'Did not!'
'Did too!' he kissed me.
'Cut that out! I'm trying to make a conversation here!'
'Are not!'
'Am too!'
'Are not!'
*ARG!* I pushed him over and he fell on the bed.
'Not fair!' He pulled me down too.
'Of course it's fair.' I whispered. We kissed again. That moment, Arwen walked in. She already knew about us, but still, we were in an awkward position. I was practically laying on top of Legolas, we were kissing, and on a bed…
'OMG! I'm sorry, didn't mean to interrupt anything…' We sat up.
'That's okay Arwen. Do what you have to do, you're not interrupting anything.' I said.
'Sure I'm not. I'll just grab my stuff and I'll be gone in a sec.'
'That's okay, just take you time.' She quickly grabbed her stuff and walked back to the door.
'Have fun you two!' she said. I threw a pillow to her head. 'Hey, stop that!' She threw it back.
'Ha! You missed!' I cheered.
'No she didn't…' Legolas rubbed his head.
'Awww, poor baby.'
'Hey, I'm not a baby!'
'Sure you aren't…' I kissed him on his nose.
'I'll just leave you two alone…' Arwen said as she left the room.
We spent some time hanging in my room. Just talking and sitting on my bed, kissing every once and a while. I actually almost fell asleep at a certain point! Eventually, we just laid on my bed, my head on his chest, his arm around my shoulders, and my arm around his waist, looking out of the window, telling each other what we saw in the clouds.
'Hey, that one looks like a dragon!' I said.
'That one looks like you…' he said with a dreamily look on his face.
'I think I'll take that as a compliment…'
'Yeah, you do that.'
'What're you thinking of?'
'I'm thinking about what I'm going to do when I get out of high school.'
'What're you going to do?'
'I dunno, assuming I've told my dad I'm in love with you instead of what's- her-name, I think we'll be moving in together.'
'Oh.'
'Where do you want to live? Mirkwood, Lothlorien, here in Rivendell, maybe even the Shire…'
'Dunno, I want to travel first. I don't see myself settling down any time soon.'
'Not even with me?'
'Especially not with you.' Legolas looked at me with his deep blue eyes, disappointed look on his face. 'Just kidding. But I'm not settling down quite yet.'
'No kids any time soon?'
'Nope.'
'Oh.'
'Why're you asking?'
'No reason.'
'C'mon, you can tell me, I won't laugh.'
'That's not what I worried about.'
'Then what's your problem?'
'Nothing I guess... Here, I want you to have this.' He handed me a silver necklace with a turquoise green stone hanging on it.
'Wow, where did you get this?'
'I found it in the ruin, that day we went there. Somehow, it reminds me of you.' He put the necklace around my neck.
'Wauw…' I said as I looked into my mirror. 'It's… It's beautiful…' I could feel the evil magic aura hanging around it. That's probably the thing that reminded him of me… Probably one of those magic stones people, and elves, used to sacrifice to us, gods and goddesses. I could feel the aura grow as I wore it.
'It brings out the color of you eyes.'
'Yeah…'
'I noticed you don't wear any jewelry.'
'No, I usually don't. Somehow, jewelry gives me the feeling I'm committed, or even captured, like somebody tied me to something and I can't get loose.'
'Oh…'
'Hey, I don't feel anything with this one.' I said. But I did. I felt even worse with this necklace. I felt stuck to Legolas, like we now were bound together. Also, I didn't like the sound of that "moving in together" story… I don't like to be committed… Never did, never will. 'What time is it?'
'11:27.No, 11:28'
'Almost time for the picnic.'
'Oh right, almost forgot.'
'Hey, could you…' I made some kind of waving movement with my hands in the direction of the door.
'Why?'
'I need to change clothes.'
'So?'
'Shoo!'
'Hey, you watched me after I took a shower.'
'So?'
'I think I've got the right to sit here while you do whatever you want to do.'
*Ugh* 'Fine, be like that.' I grabbed my towel and walked into the bathroom. After a relaxing shower, I wrapped a towel around my body and stuck my head out of the bathroom. 'Can you hand me my clothes?'
'Why didn't you take them in before you took a shower?'
'They might get wet.'
'Oh. Well, get them yourself.'
'Ah! You *******!'
'Hey! Now I'm certainly not going to give them to you.'
'Damn.' I tried to walk over to my closet, but I wasn't quite working… I can hardly walk in a dress, not to mention a mini-skirt sized towel… All the way, Legolas was laughing at me. 'You could at least hand me some of my clothes!' I said.
'Hmhm, I guess I could do that.' Oh, what was he up to now? He walked over to the chair where I had hung my clean clothes. 'Here you go.' He handed me my bra and underwear. Damn, did he have to do that? *sigh*
'Thanks, I guess…' I said as I walked back into the bathroom. I closed the door and started to get dressed in the few 'clothes' he gave me. I opened the door and did a few steps towards the closet. Now, it was his turn to drop his jaw to the ground. I could see he was pretty overwhelmed by my appearance. I was pretty muscular, ever for an elf, and especially for a girl. I almost had a 'six-pack' stomach, and well, let's just say I'm I form. That's what you get if you do a lot of sports.
'What're you staring at?' I said as I put on my newest pair of baggy jeans.
'Nothing…'
'Sure.' The door opened and Arwen walked in.
'Oh my…'
'Arwen!?! Oh, this uh, this is not what it seems!'
'Sure it isn't…'
'No, we just took a shower…'
'WHAT?'
'I took a shower! I, I took a shower! Not him, I!' Legolas almost rolled on the floor from laughter.
'Shut up you!' I yelled to Legolas.
'Okay okay, I believe you!' Arwen said.
'I took a shower, it was me, I was the one that showered, the shower was taken by me…' I started with talking and ended with muttering.
'It's okay.' Legolas said as he put his arm around my shoulder. 'Just get dressed, I'll see you outside, okay?'
'I took the shower, it was I, I took it, the shower was mine…' I muttered. (E/N: don't you just love Townsville favorite villain, Mojo Jojo?)
'I'll take that as a yes… Bye!' Legolas walked out of the room.
'Bye!' Arwen said. I put the rest of my clothes on and fixed my hair. I made a ponytail and stuck it up or whatever you call that. Arwen left the room. I did my hair again, for it didn't look good at all. It didn't look good now either. OH NO! I'm having a bad hair day! Oh well, I'll just wear my baseball cap. I fixed my eyes with some make-up, don't know why, usually hate make-up, but my eyes looked too small, like I hadn't slept all night. I fixed that with white eyeliner. (Yes people, whit eyeliner makes you eyes look bigger! I know, I tried it :o) Another miracle happened, I actually looked quite normal, almost good, for a change. I unpacked my bag, in the way that I dumped my books on my bed, and I took it with me outside. I need the bag, it has the candy :o) Walked down the stairs, over to the lawn, and sat down with the guys.
'Hey guys.'
'Hi, how're you doing?'
'Fine, why?'
'Cause you looked pretty bad this morning.' I shot Faramir a glare.
'Like you're looking good. Is it me, or does your hair have a greenish glow?' The guys started laughing as maniacs, but Faramir didn't seem too happy. 'What?' I didn't know what I'd done.
'This morning…' Boromir laughed. 'This morning, we sat with Éomer and Elvea… and Faramir…Faramir said "Be careful with your girlfriend, Éomer" and… and Éomer said "she's not my girlfriend" and Faramir said "sure she isn't, and my hair is green" and then… like magic… Faramir's hair…' They all started laughing again.
'What? What happened?' I asked
'His hair…'They all started laughing again.
'C'mon, what happened?' I asked Legolas
'I don't know.' He said. 'I was with you remember.'
'Right, Faramir, what happened?' I asked Faramir, since he was the only one not rolling over the floor laughing.
'It's not funny! Stop laughing, all of you!!' Faramir shouted. Everyone turned around and faced Faramir. 'Uh…' He blushed. 'Go on, continue with whatever you were doing…' He said to the rest of the class. Boromir and Estel started to laugh even harder.
'Can somebody tell me what's going on?'
'Myhairturnedgreenthismorning.' Faramir whispered.
'Your hair what?'
'It turned green okay!'
'Oh.'
'C'mon, laugh already. It was really funny, as you can see.'
'I guess it's one of those "you had to be there" moments I don't see what's so funny…' Okay, I did… And I started laughing.
'Okay, laugh! Just laugh!' Faramir said. 'I'll get you all for this!'
'Hey Faramir, how come your hair turned green?'
'Elvea's stupid elven Magic.'
'Elven magic isn't that strong, it can't be.'
'She said…'
'How did you get it out?'
'She told me to wash my hair.'
'Did it work?'
'Yeah, but I guess you can still see it a little bit…'
'It's not that bad, girl just notice those things.'
'That's a comforting thought.'
'How do you mean?'
'Now all the girls will think I'm some kind of strange moron that paints his hair green.'
'It's not that bad really, it kinda looks good on you. I think it's cool.'
'Sure you do.' Hey, I really did. I like strange hair-colors. I've tried to paint my hair to, but instead of red, it turned pink, so I magically made it go away again.
Elvea and Éomer came walking over from the building. Either they were late, or we were early. I took a look at the sun. We were early.
'Hey Elvea, what happened to you crutches?' Arwen asked Elvea.
'I'm healed' She said.
'Yeah, Rían almost thought that there were higher powers at work' Éomer added laughing.
I immediately turned around, a puzzled look on my face. Higher powers? There's something not normal with that girl… They sat down with us.
I could hear the dwarves, Gimly and Lar, laughing in the corner of the field. Suddenly, Gimly stood up and walked over to Elvea.
'Hey Elvea, keep the smell down will ya? I could smell you on the other side of the field.' He said and he tried to turn around and walk back to Lar, but Éomer was up before he got the chance. He punched him right in the face. Gimly's nose started bleeding like, well, really bad. Blood dripped all over the place. If Gildor weren't standing a meter away, they would've gotten in a real fight. Well, not without me joining! I'd love a good fight, especially against such a stupid dwarf. Éomer sat back down, protectively close to Elvea.
'Don't take it personal Elv…ea. He didn't mean it. He's just a stupid Dwarf' he said. What's with the Elv…ea? Can't he just say her name? He put his arm around her shoulders. O come on! Oldest trick in the book! We grinned.
'Whoa, down boy!' Elvea said. Éomer took his hand back. Awww, shot down.
'Sorry 'bout that, I didn't mean it.' Elvea said. That was weird! What's her problem? First he touched her, she said no, now she's saying she doesn't mind. Yeah, whatever.
'You didn't?' Éomer said.
'No, I was joking'
'Oh right…' Now, that didn't make sense at all! She obviously doesn't know what she wants. 'So I really don't mind, I guess…' That confirms what I just told you, she doesn't have a clue about what she wants. Éomer put his arm around her shoulders again. We grinned again. She did that whole "What?" thing with her eyes again. Like she didn't know!
About an hour later, Gildor announced the groups for Freshman's-camp. I was in group two, Elvea, Arwen, Estel, Boromir, Faramir, Legolas (yee!), Éomer, Vebor (oh no!) and I. Only three girls, oh well. Elvea put down Éomer's arm, and laid down in the grass. She didn't look too good. I could feel the Magic in the air. What the **** was going on?
'Elvy, are you alright?' Éomer asked.
'I'm…Fine…' She mumbled. Elvy? Did he just say Elvy? No they're not dating, but they do have pet names for each other? Why don't I believe this? Hmhmhm…
Elvea stood up and ran away. Now what's the matter with her? Éomer ran after her. Now why did he do that? I could see them talking in the distance, but I couldn't hear them. They were standing pretty close to each other. Suddenly, Éomer put his arm around her shoulders. I couldn't see what happened next, but she ran off into the woods, looked pretty upset. Éomer walked back to us.
'What was that all about?' I asked him.
'Nothing…' He rubbed his cheek. It looked a bit reddish…
'Did she hit you?' I shouted.
'No, no, she didn't hit me…'
'Then what happened?'
'Nothing…'
'She hit him alright!' Faramir said.
The rest of the picnic went by pretty fast. Legolas and I talked a little when no one was watching, but that was like three words during the whole day.
'Hey, you're wearing the necklace.' He said.
'Yeah.'
'It doesn't make you feel stuck?'
'No, it doesn't.' It really didn't! I think I'm making progress here! For the first time in my life, I could wear a necklace and not even notice it. Go me!!
'Cool.'
'Yeah.'
'What're you two talking 'bout?' Boromir asked us.
'Nothing.' I said.
'Sure.' He continued his conversation with Éomer and Faramir.
After the picnic, around 5 / 5:30, we all grabbed our swimming-stuff and went for a swim in the valley. Just like Legolas is, oh and said, all those guys were, uh, well divined… Oh, that's just rude! Staring at those guys like that… I shouldn't do that…
The water was getting cold, in other words, I was getting cold. I walked over to my bag, to see I'd forgotten my towels… Damn. Just sat there for a moment, thinking of what I could do next. I couldn't just sit here, I might catch a cold. Oh, wait, Elves don't get sick. Lucky me. (E/N: in other words, the writer's got the flu…)
'Hey, whazzup?' Legolas sat next to me.
'I'm cold.'
'Get your towel.'
'I forgot to bring one…'
'Oh.' He turned around and grabbed his bag. 'Here, take mine.'
'No, no, then you won't have one.'
'That's okay, I brought two.'
'Oh.' He wrapped the towel around my shoulders and held me close.
'You are cold.' He said.
'Yeah, I know.' We just sat there for a moment. I could have sat there for the rest of eternity, completely happy. Okay, maybe not completely… But at least almost completely. I don't know what, but something was bugging me in the back of my mind. Like someone was poking me in the back with a finger, trying to tell me something. Oh well, I'll just ignore it for a while.
Some half an hour later, the other guys came out of the water.
'Hiya guys! Why did you go out?' Boromir cheerily said.
'Endomiel got cold.'
'Aha.' He winked. ARG! I hate when he does that!
'Time to go back.' Faramir said.
'What time is it?'
'19:00 or something like that.'
'Oohh! Dinnertime!' I cheered. I quickly put my clothes on over my swimsuit. 'Come on, hurry!' I ran to the cliff, dragging Legolas along with me. I climbed up as quickly as I could.
'You sure are hungry!' Legolas said as he reached the top of the cliff.
'Yeah, I am! C'mon, hurry!' We ran to my room. 'Wait here…' I said as I grabbed my clothes and ran into the bathroom. I quickly changed into some clean clothes, again.
A pair of low-hanging baggy-jeans and a short tight 'flaming' top, you know, one of those with a flame-print on it. The necklace looked really good with it. I walked out of the bathroom again.
'Hello there…' Legolas said.
'Like what you see?' I said as I did my hair. Tied it up in a knot-kinda- thingy and put my baseball cap on.
'I do.'
'Do I look good?'
'O yeah.'
'Okay then Time for dinner!!'
'Wait a sec, I can't walk in there dressed like this.'
'Hmhmhm, you're right.'
'Hey!' We walked to his room. 'Shall I wear this, or this?' He showed me two pairs of jeans. One baggy type, and a Skate type.
'Ooh, the skate one!' I said as I took a look in his closet. He took his pant and shirt off and put the skate jeans back on. 'Oh, and this shirt.' I threw him a shirt.
'Hey! Stop that! Get your nose out of my closet!'
*Evil grin* 'No…'
'Then I'll make you…' He wrapped his arms around my waist.
'Not fair!' I said. He kissed my neck. 'St… stop that…' I giggled.
'Why?' He whispered in my ear as we fell on his bed.
'We'll… We'll miss dinner…' I giggled.
'And that's really that important to you?'
'Ye…Yeah… Hungry…'
'Oh, sure…' I managed to work myself out of his arms.
'C'mon, put your shirt on, we're going to dinner.'
'Do I have to?'
'Well, we you could stay here…'
'We could…'
'No, you could, I'm going to have dinner.' I walked out of the room.
'Wait for me!' Legolas came running after me. 'We're going to have dinner together.'
'Oh, you decided to come anyway?'
'Yeah, might as well. Staying there alone isn't quite as much fun as having dinner with the guys. Oh, and you of course.'
'Gee, thanks.' We walked into the mess and sat down with the guys.
'Where were you two?' Faramir asked. 'What were you two doing? You didn't really …'
'NO!' I said.
'He, let me finish! You didn't really take that long to change, did you?'
'Oh…'
'What else did you think?' Oh, right, I forgot he doesn't know yet… Faramir shot me a "you didn't…" look. O Eru, got myself into a messy situation now…
'I dunno, let's eat!' I hoped that worked… We all stood up and walked to the kitchen.
'Oh no, you're not getting out of this that easily!' Faramir said as he took my arm.
'Out of what?'
'What's the matter with you and Legolas?'
'Nothing! We're just friends!'
'Really?'
'Yeah, what else? You don't think that him and me…'
'Well…'
'Oh, come on! You don't believe that, do you?'
'It's pretty absurd come to think of it…'
'Exactly. Come on, let's eat!' Phew, saved my self… that was close… Thank Eru these guys are that gullible. :o)
We ate our meals and all went our own separate ways. Boromir went for a walk, Faramir went to his room to do whatever he was going to do, Éomer went to look for Elvea, I doubt if he'd find her, Estel, I don't know what he was going to do, Legolas, well, he and I also went for a walk in the woods. But we walked in the woods behind the school. We found an open spot in the forest and laid there, in the grass, to look at the stars.
'Can you se the big dipper?' Legolas softly said.
'Right there, right?'
'No, that's the little dipper. The big dipper's over there.'
'Oh.' We just laid there, my head on his chest, his arm around my shoulders, my arm around his waist, just like we always lay. It must have been almost 23:00, because I could hear the teachers close the gates. 'We have to go back soon.' I said.
'We could sleep out here.'
'We'll get cold.'
'I'll keep you warm.'
'I don't think that's a good idea…'
'Why not?'
'Because… And besides, the ground isn't as comfortable as it looks you know, I've tried it before.'
'Nothing will happen…'
'I'm sleeping in my room Legolas, that's final.'
'We must go back then.' I stoop up. He stuck his hand out to me. I grabbed it and pulled him up. 'I'll walk with you.'
'You'd better!' I said as I ran to the front of the building, pulling him with me. I leaned against the door as I tried to push it open.
'Wait a sec…' Legolas said as he kissed me.
'Why…' I whispered.
'Just for that.' I opened the door and we ran through the mess. We walked to the rooms and leaned against the door.
'I guess this is goodnight.'
'I guess so…' We kissed again. Sure did a lot of that… :o) I leaned against the door some more, and one way or another, hit the doorknob. The door opened and we fell in. Luckily, nobody was in there, or was there? Oh no, Elvea was in her bed, awake, since she sat up. I could see Éowyn, Rosie and Elanor already asleep in their beds, Arwen wasn't there yet. She probably slept in her own house in the weekends, or something like that. We were pretty much laughing, while still laying on the ground. Legolas rolled on his back and laughed some more. I rolled over and laid practically on top of him, and then I kissed him. Legolas stopped laughing.
'Hey, she isn't supposed to know, remember?'
'She won't tell anyone, I'll make shore of that.' I could always erase the memories of tonight from her mind. 'See you tomorrow…' I said as I got up. Legolas got up too and walked out of the room.
'Bye!'
'Bye!'
'Oh my… what was that all about?'
'Nothing, we're in… uh…' I couldn't say it… I still can't…
'Yes…'
'We uh, like each other.'
'And you want to keep it secret.'
'Exactly. We'd appreciate if you can keep it that way.'
'Okay.'
'Okay.' I changed to my PJ's. We went back to sleep. About an hour later, when I was sure she was asleep, I walked over to her bed and held my hand over her head. I searched for the good memories. And again. Strange, either this girl has a magic shield, or she doesn't have any memories. Aw, man, who put a shield on her? Damn, now I couldn't alter her memories. Sh*t, now she knows too! If it keeps going like this, everybody will know in no time!
Oh well, might as well go asleep. I can also tell her she dreamt it. She might believe it, if she's as gullible as the other people I know. :o) Have to go to sleep now,
Namarië!!
