The 17th of Halimath, 1384 (Shire Reckoning)

Hi again!

Today was another of those 'that's not what I mean!!' days. People (and hobbits, and elves) don't seem to get my point these days. Very confusing… Anyway, to the diary part.

After writing in my diary this morning, I walked to the mess to get something to eat. (Hungry!! Hungry!!) Everybody was up and having lunch. The thought that I missed breakfast alone is enough to make me hungry… I got myself a bowl of cereal and sat down in an empty spot at the table. I sat between Faramir and Éowyn.

'Uhm… Endomiel… I uh…. We uh… well, it's like this…' Éowyn started. Now, what's she trying to say?

'Look, I, uh, I mean, we uh… well… look, we uh…' Faramir started. I looked from Faramir to Éowyn, and back. AHA! Now I get it!

'With whom do you want me to switch places?' I asked. Faramir quickly got up and we switched places. I started eating my cereal.

'Are you at it again?'

'At what Legolas?' I said as I took another bite of my cereal.

'The cereal.' Oh no, he's not going to take it away again, is he? I quickly ate what was left of my cereal.

'What about it?' He looked at me with those big blue eyes, doing a "you know what I mean…" look. 'I was hungry okay!' I pushed my bowl to the side and laid my head on the table. 'So tired… need… sleep…'

'You didn't get much sleep last night, did you?' Estel grinned. Huh? Did I miss something? Nothing happened, right? RIGHT? Legolas' face flushed. LEGOLAS… I've got the feeling *someone* didn't tell the whole truth…

'How do you mean, Estel?' I asked while glancing at Legolas. Legolas looked down at the table.

'You left the party early and didn't return until, like, 11:30 this morning…'

'Your point is…?'

'I'm not stupid you know.'

'Neither am I.'

'I know what you two have been doing…' He obviously doesn't.

'Are you sure?'

'Pretty sure yes.'

'Uhm… well, Estel, I think there are a few things I forgot to say earlier…' Legolas said.

'Like what?' Estel asked.

'Like, we did spend the night together, but we kept our clothes on all night.'

'Then why weren't you wearing your shirt hen you came back?'

'She was cold and borrowed my shirt.'

'That makes more sense then what I thought happened.' Estel said.

'I never said something happened, really.' Legolas said to me.

'You probably didn't say nothing happened either.' I said.

'Not really…'

'And how many people think something happened?' His face flushed again. This was going to be bad…

'Well, Faramir, and Éomer, and the Hobbits…' I hope that's all… '… And Vebor, and I think the dwarves know too, Elrond and Galadriel might have heard me talking, and uh…'

'Enough! I don't want to know!' I said. This was bad… Now what would they think of me? An easy lay? I mean, they didn't know we had been dating for quite a while, and they'll just assume… Oh no… this sure was going to cause a lot of trouble… FOR ME! He wasn't going to have any trouble, he'd be the 'cool' guy, but I… He was so going to pay for this!

'Sorry…' He whispered. I stood up and walked to the lawn. I sat down with the hobbits.

'Hi, uh, Endy…' Pippin said.

'Hi pip, hi guys.' The all looked at me with big eyes. 'What?' Now they looked at me with big, accusing eyes. 'Oh that…' I laid down. How was I going to explain this… 'Nothing happened.' Okay… and you think they're going to believe that?

'Sure, nothing happened. That's why you're the main gossip around here. The Legolas fan club is ready to kill you! They're so pissed! One of them actually envies you for "having" Legolas, as they call it.' Frodo said.

'I'm the what?'

'The gossip, everybody's gossiping about you, the wildest stories are going round.' Oh god no… why does life insist on humiliating me?

'Okay, let's set a few things straight, for one, nothing happened, and for two, what kind of gossips?'

'Well, there's the one about you and Legolas uhm, having a nice night together, and then there's one that says it was a great one, and then…' Pippin said.

'Never mind, I don't want to know…' I said.

'What really happened?' Merry asked.

'Nothing happened!' I said. 'That's the whole problem! Legolas told you guys something, didn't he?'

'Yeah, he did, he was so happy this morning, we asked what was his problem, and then he told us something about spending the night together.'

'And the thing Legolas forgot to mention every time he told it, is that we were still dressed, all night!'

'So nothing happened?' Fordo said. Finally, someone got it!

'NO! Nothing happened!'

'That's not what's going 'round...'

'I know… that's the problem…' The next hour and a half, I spent setting things right. I convinced almost everyone, except the dwarves and the Legolas-fans that is. They thought it was just to trick them or something like that. Some people… and dwarves… and elves… *sigh* Totally exhausted, I sat down in a seat at the table again. I put my head on the table and closed my eyes.

'Poor girl.' Legolas said as he started rubbing my back. 'You look exhausted.' I sat up.

'I… am… exhausted!' I grumbled while I tried to keep my anger in.

'How come?' He doesn't even have a clue how come? *Sigh*

'Well, maybe, just a suggestion, but, it could be because I didn't have much sleep tonight and I ran around campus for one and a half hour trying to set things right.'

'You poor thing.'

'You do know this is all your fault, don't you?'

'Punish me.' OKAY! THAT'S IT! I AM SERIOUSLY GOING TO KILL HIM NOW!! I sat up and turned around. Legolas saw the anger in my eyes, or at least I think he did, 'cause he did a few steps back. 'Hey, I'm just kidding, really, it's okay!'

'Okay? OKAY? Do you know what people are saying about me?'

'Uhm… well, I've heard a few things and uhm, some parts sounded pretty good.'

'How do you mean?'

'Well, there's one story, where you…'

'DON'T!! Don't even go there! What is with you today? I've never seen you like this before! What happened?'

'I'm just very happy that it's in the open now. Think of all the things we can do…'

'I'd rather not…' Thinking of all the stories I heard, I didn't want to think about that right now…

'Not in that way, I mean, we can hang out without keeping an eye on everything, and we can just sit on the lawn next to each other without people thinking things of us.'

'I guess you have a point there…'

'Hey, it's not that bad! The whole thing will be yesterday's news before you know it.'

'If you say so…'

'Yeah, I say so, but back to why I came looking for you anyway, the guys and I wanted to go to the valley, want to come?'

'Yeah, okay, I'll go get my stuff first.'

'Okay.' We walked to my rood. Just before I stepped in, Legolas kissed me.

'See, this whole this has advantages, I never could have done that if I hadn't written that letter.' He smiled. We stepped into the room. Up against the wall were Elvea and Éomer, ready to kiss… oops?

'Uhm… I see this room is occupied…' I said. 'Well, I just got to grab my bag, and we'll be gone, okay?'

'It's okay, I was just leaving.' Éomer said.

'Sure you were, and we just had the most amazing sex in the whole wide world.' Legolas said. Éomer's chin dropped to the ground. Right, I forgot to tell him about the rumours being not true… Elvea's chin dropped too. I guess I forgot her too… oopsy…

'It was a joke guys, really!' I said as I glared at Legolas.

'I thought you set things right.' He whispered.

'I guess I forgot a few people.'

'We are in deep shit.'

'Wrong, I am in deep shit, you'll be okay.' I grabbed my bag. 'Okay, we'll be leaving now, don't mind us, just go on with whatever you two were doing!' I walked out of the door.

'Or were planning on doing!' Legolas said with a big grin on his face while he left the room too. Guys… Can't live with them, can't live without them. We ran to the valley and climbed in. Estel, Faramir and Boromir were already there. I unpacked my bag. Candy, more candy, even more candy, it sure is nice being a goddess and being able to make things appear out of nowhere. Now, where were my honey-syrup-stix? Ah! There they were! I unwrapped one and stuck it in my mouth. As far as that was possible. The things look like really big, yellow-ish sticks, witch I usually stick in my mouth as far as possible, which means there'll be about 15 centimetres of stick, still wrapped in the wrapping, sticking out of my mouth. Honey-syrup-stix are soooo good… :o) The guys stared at me.

'What?' I said, the stick still in my mouth making it hardly impossible to understand what I was saying. The guys went O_o. 'What?' I mumbled again.

'Uhm, it is a charming pose you strike right now.' Estel finally managed. What was their problem?

'What is your problem? I am just sucking… Oohh, now I get it…' I said as I took the stick out of my mouth. 'Stop looking already!' They all started looking in different directions. Boromir and Estel stared at the clouds, while Legolas was trying to count grass leaves or something like that, and Faramir was running sand though his hands. I carefully stuck the stick back in my mouth. I could see the guys carefully look at me from the corner of my eyes. A diabolical plan popped up in my head. Hehehe… I slowly pulled the stick out of my mouth again, and back in, and back out… I could see their eyes grow big. No, not big, HUGE!

'Mmmmm…' I moaned. Some mouths slowly opened. This was soooo much fun… :o) I bit on the stick. They all pulled faces like they were in great pain. I cracked. I just fell backwards, laughing my brains out. 'God, you guys… you are soooo… soooo funny…' I laughed.

'What?' Faramir said.

'You should have seen your faces! First there were dreamy looks, then, looks like you were in very great pain. Man, soooo funny!' I rolled on the floor laughing.

'You like that, don't you?' Legolas said as he pinned me to the ground.

'What?' I laughed.

'Seeing us in pain.'

'Yes, more then anything!'

'Evil creature, you!' He kissed me. I opened my eyes in shock. What? He didn't know, did he? 'Hey, what's wrong?'

'Nothing, nothing.' I pushed him off and sat back up. I bit another piece off the stick and started chewing. More painful looks from the guys. I chewed. This sure is sticky stuff! Anyway, when I finished the stick, I laid back down. Legolas took my hand and laid next to me.

'Look at them.' Estel whispered as he nudged Faramir.

'What about them?' Faramir whispered back. They probably thought we couldn't hear them. Silly humans.

'Nothing, they just seem so happy.'

'You can say that again.' Estel opened his mouth to say something. 'It's a joke Estel, don't say it again.'

'Oh, okay.' They fell silent, but then again, so did we. After a while, Boromir got up and walked to the river. Estel and Faramir followed. We were alone. Time alone was rare. Well, not really rare, but at least we won't be disturbed here. I hoped. Half an hour passed, nothing happened. Neither of us moved. I think we were both waiting for the other to make the first move, because then we both started at the same time.

'Hey, we gotta talk…' We both said.

'Oh, you go first.'

'No, no, you go first! I insist!'

'Ladies first.'

'That means you go first Legolas.'

'Haha, very funny.'

'Go on, spit it out already.'

'Well, uhm, you know, I wrote my parents about us being together and me wanting to break up with Lutetia…'

'Yeah, what about it? You parents didn't approve?'

'I haven't heard anything of them yet, it will take a few days before we do, and I'm sure they don't approve, but that's not what I wanted to talk about.'

'What is?' I could feel this was some serious matter. Too bad, I liked it better when we weren't saying anything… This whole thing sounded pretty bad…

'Well, do you approve of it?'

'How do you mean?'

'Is it okay with you that everybody knows? I mean, you're stuck to me now, there's no way I'll just let you go now, and there's more complicated matters.'

'Like what?'

'Like, I'm allowed to switch fiancée once a life, but it is highly un honour full.'

'Once a lifetime? How generous of your parents.'

'Still, this isn't the point. If I break up with Lutetia, that automatically means that you're my fiancée.' WHAT? I AM WHAT?!? He obviously saw the look of terror on my face. 'That doesn't mean we have to get married or something like that, really, we could just stay engaged for ever.' Yes, that's what bothers me, for EVER… 'But we can still break up, it's just that I'll lose everything if I do that.'

'How do you mean, lose everything?'

'I lose my fortune, my kingdom, my title…'

'And that means more to you then I do?'

'No, of course not!' Sure, and why don't I believe this? 'Of course not! It's just that…' I'm stuck… stuck to him for ever… oh god no…

'And there's no way to stop this? To give me my freedom back?'

'How do you mean?'

'I don't want to live like you, in a golden cage! It may be beautiful, but I need my freedom!'

'But we'll be together…'

'Very nice of you to put that on the first place, but that's not how it works. I *NEED* my freedom!'

'How do you mean?'

'Like I said, I need my freedom, I'd die if I wouldn't be able to do what I want to, whenever I want to.'

'I think you're over reacting, it's not that bad really.'

'That's to you, you're used to it, and I'm not.'

'We'll drag each other through, really.'

'Legolas, love doesn't last forever. After a few years, it dies. Like fire, it needs something to burn on, and you can't make a fire burn for ever, can you.'

'Have you ever tried to make it burn for ever?'

'No… but, I just know it can't… it can't…' A tear ran down my cheek. And another, and another. Before I knew it, I was crying in his shoulder.

'You worry too much girl. You shouldn't. What does it matter is we break up? We'll live. We're elves, we'll live.'

'You forget that an Elf can die of a broken heart.' I whispered in-between sobs.

'You won't break my heart, and I won't break yours, I promise.' He whispered.

'One of us will die.'

'Then let it be me.' I sighed.

'I'll give it a try.'

'As look as you keep on dragging in the wood, it will do fine.'

'We could use a barrel of gasoline once and a while.' I whispered. He laughed.

'Okay, and a barrel of gasoline every once and a while.' He kissed me. I slowly leant backwards, pulling him to the ground. He was kinda on top of me, when the guys returned.

'Okay… I think we'll be leaving again…' Boromir said as he turned around and headed in the other direction.

'No, you guys can stay, you've already ruined the moment, no need to leave.' I said.

'And you're welcome.' Faramir said. I ran my hand through Legolas' hair.

'Don't! Do that. You're messing up my hair.'

'Legolas, your hair is totally messed up the way it is.' I said.

'You'll mess it up even more.' I sighed. This was the absolute end of the romantic moment. How come guys always find a way to destroy nice moments? I sighed again. I opened my bag, and grabbed some cinnamon-thingies. These are soooo good…

'Hey, I think it's time to go back.' Estel said.

'Why?' Legolas asked.

'We had to be back on time because of some research the teachers were going to do with the students or something like that.'

'Okay…' Legolas said. I got up and walked to the cliff. 'Wait a sec!'

'What Legolas?'

'Nothing, just wait a sec.' I started climbing up the cliff. Legolas, Boromir and Estel followed. For some reason, Faramir stayed down.

'Are you coming up any time soon?' Boromir shouted down.

'I'll be up in a sec!' Faramir said.

'What did you say?' Boromir didn't hear him.

'He said he'll be up in a sec.' Legolas said.

'Okay.' He turned back to the cliff. 'Do we have to wait here or can we leave?'

'I'm coming up already!' Faramir yelled. He climbed up.

'What is it with you? Why did you stay down there?' Boromir said as he softly punched his little brother in the arm.

'I thought I saw something.'

'What did you see?'

'A red light, like bright flames, but in a straight line.'

'Sure you did.'

'I did! I really did!'

'Where did it come from?' Estel asked.

'It looked like it came form the ruins.' The ruins he? Pretty strange. What would a beam of red light do in those dusty old ruins?

'It's probably nothing.' Legolas said. 'Let's go back.' We walked back to campus. I walked to my room and threw my bag on my bed. Nobody in the room. They're probably all in the mess or outside or something. I walked into the mess. Everybody was in the mess. Galadriel and Elrond were on the stage, telling something about the dance last night.

'Ah, miss Mornië, how nice of you to join us.' Elrond said as I entered.

'Hi.' I said.

'Could you have I seat so I can continue my talk, or not?'

'Oh, sure.' I sat down with the guys. 'Hey guys, what's up?' I whispered.

'Someone spiked the punch last night.' Legolas whispered. Uh-oh… was that what the fuss was about? Really uh-oh…

'Uh, they did? How, uh, not nice of them…' I stammered.

'Something tells me you know more about it.' He whispered back.

'Of course not!'

'Miss Mornië, just showing up is not enough, I would like it if you could keep your mouth shut for a few minutes.' Elrond said.

'But he…' He glared at me. 'I wasn't the only one who…' Another glare. 'But…' And another glare. Stupid teacher. Just blame it all on the girl. Yeah, why not? Why was he so hard on me today? O, wait, I know, he knows *it* too. This is so annoying! Why do people judge me on what they think to know about me? Anyway, where it all came down on, is that *someone* spiked the punch and the teachers were going to question everyone to find out who did it. Uh-oh… the bad thing is, that the teachers decide who was going to question you. The people they suspected the most were questioned by Galadriel. Everybody knows she can read minds and is not afraid to do it…They put me in Galadriel's line. What? Do I look like someone who would spike the punch? I mean, even the hobbits were in Elrond's line! I mean, he's bad to, but Galadriel's so much worse! I am so lucky I can shield my thoughts from her… When it was my turn to be questioned, I walked up to her.

'Hello Miss Mornië.' What is it with the "Miss Mornië" today? I have a name! EN-DO-MIEL! Is it that hard? 'I see you want to be called by your first name.'

'Yes please.'

'So be it, Endomiel.'

'Thanks.'

'I assume you know something about the whole 'spike the punch' happening.' Now shielding thoughts. Lets see what she'll think of that.

'Why would you think that? I have better things to do then spiking punch.'

'Endomiel, you and I both know that you are not the most innocent person in middle-earth.'

'How do you mean?'

'We teachers aren't deaf, we hear the rumours too. And that means not only the one about last night.'

'Are there more?'

'There are, and they describe eviller things then what is said to have happened last night.' Is that what she thinks happened last night evil? Kewl!

'Like what?'

'A certain drawing on your shoulder blade, perhaps.'

'Who told you that?' If they told anyone, they are in deep shit, very deep shit!

'Do not forget I can read minds.'

'Right…'

'Back to the main subject, did you spike the punch?' Now, stay calm, she can't do anything to you if you just stay calm.

'No. I didn't spike the punch.'

'Do you know who did?'

'I do not know who did.' Now it's time to start messing with her mind. :o) I started sending out some thoughts. *I do know who did, but she doesn't have to know! I mean, I don't like Gimly and Lar at all, but telling on them would be a bit cruel…* Hehehe, I hope she caught that…

'If that is what you say…' Galadriel said. 'You may leave.' Yes! It worked! Some teachers are so gullible!! I stood up and walked out of the mess. The hobbits were already outside.

'Did you survive?' Pippin asked.

'I did Pip, I'm right here aren't I?'

'I mean, did you tell her anything?'

'Of course not!'

'Did she read your mind?'

'Nope.'

'Are you sure?' Frodo asked.

'Totally.'

'Hey, you're done already!' Legolas said as he came out of the mess.

'Yep.'

'And? How was it? Did Galadriel ask you annoying questions in you mind?'

'Nope.'

'She didn't? But I thought you were suspected?'

'Well, she didn't do anything to my mind.'

'Okay, well, the guy and I are sitting over there, want to come sit with us?'

'Uhm, well I was talking with the guys over here and uh…'

'It's okay, you go sit with them.' Frodo said.

'Okay! See you around guys!' I walked to the spot on the lawn where the other guys were sitting.

'Hey, back so soon.' Boromir said.

'How do you mean?'

'You were with Galadriel, weren't you?'

'Yeah…'

'She usually questions people 'till they confess, guilty or not!'

'Well, she asked me a few questions, and then said I could go.'

'Lucky you! Even my questioning was worse!'

'Who did you have?'

'Elrond.'

'Ooooh, I guess you were suspected too.'

'I didn't do it!'

'Well, neither did I.' We sat on the lawn for about an hour, until all the students were questioned. That's when we could go back inside. We walked in and came past Galadriel.

'Miss Endomiel, can I speak to you for a moment?' Uh-oh… again…

'I guess you are very suspected…' Legolas whispered.

'I'm an evil girl.' I grinned. He did a step backwards. 'It's a joke Legolas, a joke.'

'Oh…'

'Miss Endomiel, would you come with me, now?' Galadriel said. 'Before I have to hear more of this… talk.' Our faces flushed a bit as we walked to Galadriel's office. We stepped in. 'I'm sorry young prince, only Miss Mornië can come in.'

'Oh… I'll be right here outside if you need me okay?' He said to me.

'Okay. I'll be back in a sec.' I stepped in.

'Have a seat please.'

'I think I'd rather stay on my feet.'

'Sit.' Okay, okay, no need to pushy! I quickly sat down. 'I want to talk to you about…'

'I didn't do it, really!'

'About your reputation.'

'Oh. Okay, shoot.' She glared at me. What?

'You haven't been here for too long, and yet almost the whole school knows you.'

'Including the higher classes?'

'Including the higher classes.'

'Cool.' Another glare. What is it?

'Don't you want to know why?'

'Oh, sure. Why?'

'Because you have done things which are considered honourable by fellow students and therefore often discussed.'

'Nothing happened.' She looked at me with a 'What the Mordor are you talking about?' look. 'Last night… you know, the thing everybody has been talking about…'

'That is not what I mean.'

'It isn't?'

'No, it isn't. I wanted to discuss that with you later, but I think I know enough about the particular incident right now.' Why did she have to use all those expensive words? Can't she speak English I can understand without having to think about what she's saying? Wait… Maybe she wants me to think about what she is saying… Hmhmhm…

'Then what is it you mean?'

'What I mean is the things in camp, taking care of your fellow students…' How did she know that? She wasn't spying on us, was she? 'And your fellow students think it is very… honourable of you to break the rules and do what you like all day long, and they respect the air of evilness that constantly hangs around you.' What is it? I didn't do anything! Okay, so I broke a few rules, is that so special? I mean, doesn't everyone? Air of evilness? What's that supposed to mean? 'I see you are not listening to me at all. You may go now, but remember, we'll be keeping an eye on you.' See! They're spying on me! I knew it! I know everything! I know I know everything!! Okay… never mind that… anyway, I walked out of the room and Galadriel closed the door behind me.

'And?' Legolas jumped up from the floor he was sitting on.

'And what?'

'And how did it go?'

'Well…'

'What did she ask you? Did she mess with you mind? Did she discover anything she's not supposed to know? Did she…'

'Whoa… down elf!'

'Well? Did she?'

'She didn't really ask me stuff, she told me more, and no she didn't mess with my mind, and she didn't find out anything she's not supposed to know.'

'Okay. That's cool. Hey, wanna go outside?'

'Why are you acting all hyper like that?'

'Oh, Faramir and Éomer walked by and they gave me a few of these!' Legolas held out his hand and showed me a tiny part of a honey-syrup stick and a lot of wrappers. 'I saved some for you!'

'Okay… how many have you had Legolas?'

'4 and a half.'

'Have you ever had them before?'

'No…' O no… everybody knows you don't just start eating those things! You have to start with a little bit, and slowly work your way up!

'You know, I really like those things. They're good and sweet, just like you.' He said so fast I almost couldn't hear what he was saying.

'Legolas, can you walk up and down the hall for me?'

'Sure.' He stood up and started walking down the hall while drumming on the walls, an occasional skip, and a jump every now and then. Yep, sugar high.

'Okay Leg, you can stop now.' I walked towards him. 'How many fingers am I holding up?'

'Uhm… 8.' A really bad sugar high.

'I'm sorry, I only held up 4 fingers.'

'I saw 8, really.'

'Sure you did. Come on, let's go outside where you can sit down.'

'I don't want to sit down, I want to do something exiting like… uhm… horseback riding right next to a cliff, or uh… tree climbing in a dead tree or something like that.'

'You're going to sit down and drink a lot of water Legolas.' I dragged him outside and sat him on the ground. 'Now stay here, I'm going to get some water okay? If you move one inch, you will not be immortal anymore.'

'Okay.' He sat there, rocking back and forth, looking at people, saying hi and waving and stuff. Oh no… how long is he going to stay this way? When I returned with some water, Legolas had disappeared.

'Legolas? Hey, Leg? Where are you? Legolas?' No response. Dammit, where could he be? I walked over to the spot where he had been sitting. No trace of Legolas. I looked around. The guys were sitting over there. I walked over to them. 'Hey guys, have you seen Leg?' They gave me strange looks. 'Legolas.'

'Oh, yeah, he said he went to get some more candy. He told us to tell you he'll be right back.' Estel said.

'He went to do WHAT?'

'To get some more candy.'

'O no he isn't!' I dropped the cups with water and ran off tho the shop.

'Hey! I'm sitting here! Damn, now I'm all wet…' I could hear Faramir curse. Oopsy… I stormed into the mess. Legolas was just about to stick the candy in his mouth.

'DROP THE CANDY!' I yelled.

'NO!' He yelled back.

'It's for your own good! Now, drop it!'

'NO! I need it! It if my life source…' He drew the stick closer to his lips.

'DON'T! Or else…'

'Or else what?'

'There will never be a barrel of gasoline, and I will stop dragging in the firewood!' I hoped that would scare him. He hesitated a few seconds.

'See if I care!' I guess it didn't quite work…

'See if I care!' I yelled back. The people in the mess were staring at us with wide-open mouths. Behind me, Estel Faramir and Boromir had entered the mess. I walked over to Legolas. 'Give me the candy. It's not worth it, trust me.' He looked into my eyes and slowly stuck the hand with the candy towards me. Yes! I was winning! He pulled his hand back in, stuck the stick in his mouth and ran off. Damn! 'YOU GET BACK HERE!!'

'MAKE ME!!' He yelled as he stormed past the guys, out of the mess. I ran after him.

'Get your sorry little ass over here, RIGHT NOW!!' I yelled.

'You can't catch me anyway!' He shouted as he turned his head around and stuck his tongue out at me. Why, that little… I increased my speed. He ran over the lawn, running through groups of people and elves, and I followed. Okay, time to use some magic… I suddenly could run a lot faster then a few seconds before. I soon caught up with him. He was so dead!

'It's not to late to give up yet!' I shouted. 'I will catch you eventually!'

'No you won't!' He shouted while slightly turning his head around. Suddenly, there was a rock in front of us… Legolas tripped… and fell. O SHIT! Where are the breaks? Someone, hand me the breaks! Anyone? Okay, a seatbelt then? HELP! Before I knew it, I was soaring through the sky…

'O SHIT!' I yelled. Then I hit the ground, or, not really the ground, for I dropped on Legolas.

'Auauauauwww…' He moaned.

'Auauauauwww…' I moaned. I hurt everywhere. My poor muscles… Legolas pushed me off him. I rolled on my back. 'Hand… me the… candy…' I said.

'Never…' He whispered.

'Give it, or I'll take it!' I said, still gasping for breath.

'Make me.'

'I will.' I crawled back over his chest, to his right hand, where the candy was. I reached out for the candy. Almost… just a little bit farther… He grabbed my hand with his left hand. 'What the?!? Let go of me! Let go of the candy!'

'Never! It's mine!'

'You little…!'

'Never mind the candy any more.' He said as he reached to my face with an empty right hand, and kissed me.

'Miss Mornië and Prince Greenleaf, in my office, now!' Elrond's voice boomed. We quickly sat up.

'Uh… we were just uh…' Legolas stammered.

'You were just what? Running over the other students? Shouting ugly words at each other at the top of your lungs? Here in Imladris, we like peace and quite.' We slowly stood up. 'My office, now. Both of you.' This was the second time today I had to go to someone's office… uh-oh… We walked to the office. Elrond opened the door and let us in. 'I'll be right back, you two wait here, and don't break anything. And try to stay off each other, this is my office, not a bedroom.' Elrond left and locked the door. What? Not like we'll run away again. I smiled.

'What's with you?' Legolas said, his sugar-high obviously just wore off.

'Nothing.'

'Then what's with the smile?'

'Nothing.'

'Yeah right.' He sat down in a chair while I took a walk through the office. Pretty nice office actually. Not too big, not too small, just about right. There were all kinds of certificates on the right wall, and bookshelves on the left. The wall with the door had a painting on it, and the one across the room a window. I walked over to the desk and sat on the big chair behind it. 'What are you doing?'

'I'm testing the chair.'

'What is wrong with you? Get out of that chair before he comes back!'

'Why?'

'You'll only be in deeper shit if he finds you in his chair.'

'We're not in shit anyway, I mean, like, come on, what have we done? We ran a circle over the lawn, so what?'

'This is high school Endomiel, you are now in shit.'

'Sure, if you say so.' I stood up from the chair and walked over to the window.

'Hey, Endy, what are you doing in there?'

'Pip? Is that you?' I said.

'Yeah, down here.' I looked down.

'Hey Pip! And Elanor, and Merry, and uh… you guys.' Who were those other guys?

'Hey.' They said.

'What are you doing down there?' I asked. Pippin showed me a bag of mushrooms. 'Oh…'

'What are you doing up there?'

'Elrond caught me and Legolas causing trouble on the lawn.'

'Ooooh… bad.'

'Oh, it's okay. I'll tell you all about it when I come out of this room okay?'

'Deal.' The door behind me opened. I quickly turned around.

'Miss Mornië, where do you think you're going?'

'Nowhere, I was just looking out of the window.'

'Sit in the chair please.' Elrond entered, With Gandalf. Why was he here? Wasn't he the principal? Had we done that bad stuff? That couldn't be. I walked over to the chair and sat down.

'That will be all Elrond. I wish to speak to these two alone please.' Gandalf said.

'O, Okay.' Elrond said as he walked to the door. 'I'll lock the door if I were you, these two are not to be trusted.' I have the feeling Elrond doesn't really like me… or Legolas… or both of us… Hmhmhm…

'I trust them.' Gandalf said. 'They won't run away. They've done enough running for one day.' I smiled. Luckily, Elrond couldn't see that, or I'd be in even deeper shit. Elrond left the office and closed the door. 'Okay, will one of you tell me what happened?' We explained everything to him. Until the part where Legolas tripped over the rock. 'And then you two just ended up kissing?'

'No, that happened later.' Legolas said. 'First, she tried to grab the candy from my hand, and then I kissed her.'

'Because I do not see what the big deal is in this incident, I've decided to let you two go with a warning, but don't think you'll get away this easy next time.'

'Thanks.' I said as I got up. Gandalf walked towards the door and opened it.

'One more thing.' He said. 'Next time, save the romance for your own time.'

'This actually was our own time, you know.' I said.

'Then try not to do it in public. You should know not to do that Legolas.'

'Sorry.' Legolas whispered.

'Anyway, run along now young ones, I've got more important business to do.'

'I'm not that young.' I said.

'How old are you again?'

'16.'

'You're still fairly young.' Gandalf laughed. I skipped of.

'Bye!' I cheered. Somehow, I felt pretty happy. Dunno why, just happy.

'Uhm, bye…' Legolas stammered as he ran after me.

'No running in the school!' Gandalf shouted.

'Sorry…' Legolas shouted back as he ran around the corner. 'Phew, that was close.'

'How do you mean?'

'We almost got ourselves detention.'

'So? What's so bad of detention? I'm sure it can be fun.' I grinned.

'I'm sure you'll make it fun. He leant in to kiss me.

'Ahem!' Elrond walked by behind us. Legolas quickly did a step backwards. Elrond glared at me. Now what have I done? I didn't even do anything! He was the one about to kiss me! Not the other way around! Annoying teacher. When Elrond was around the corner, Legolas gave me a swift kiss on the nose.

'Let's go outside, this place gives me the creeps.' He whispered as he took my hand and dragged me off. We sat outside with the guys.

'So? Did you get detention?' Boromir asked.

'Nope.' I replied.

'Not? How did you do that?'

'Gandalf didn't see the problem.'

'I thought Elrond dragged you too his office.'

'Yeah, he did, but Gandalf came to punish our actions, which he didn't.'

'Lucky bastards.'

'Thank you.' I smiled. We sat there and talked for a few hours, and then it was time for *dumdumdum* DINNER!!! I am like, soooo hungry! We walked over to the mess. I quickly grabbed a tray, threw some food on and sat down in an empty chair. I started shoving my food in. A few minutes later, Legolas sat next to me. My meal was almost gone already.

'I guess you were pretty hungry.'

'I have an never dieing need.'

'You do huh.' He grinned.

'For food.'

'Oh…' Shot down! Hehehe…After dinner, a.k.a.: a few trays of food later, we sat outside again. It was beautiful weather, and the sun was going down in the horizon. We laid down on the lawn again, his hand stroking my hair. Yeah, he could stoke mine, but I couldn't even come near his hair. How vane. Anyway, we laid there, and so did Arwen and Estel, Faramir and Éowyn and Boromir alone. Alone? Aww, poor guy. After it had gotten dark, the couples got up one by one, until only Legolas, Boromir and I were left.

'Shall we go inside too?' Legolas whispered.

'That's okay with me.' I whispered back. I got up. 'Bye Boromir.'

'Bye.' He said back, still staring at the sky. Something was bothering him, I could tell. I'll talk to him. Later. Legolas wrapped his arm around my waits. Okay, make that tomorrow. We walked inside. We crossed the mess, and walked over to my room. Legolas tried to kiss me, as I stepped into the room. O shit! Doorstep! I fell. Flat on my face.

'Auauauauwww…' I moaned.

'Are you okay?' Legolas said between laughs.

'Fine.' I rolled over, blood pouring from my nose. Great, why do these things always happen to me?

'Wow, watch it! You'll cover the whole room in blood!' He pulled me up and carried me to the bathroom. He rinsed my face with cold water and told me to hold a piece of toilet paper against my nose and bend my head down. My face started to swell. A few minutes later, the bleeding still hadn't stopped. The door opened and several people walked in. Someone obviously saw the light shining in the bathroom.

'Who's in there?' Arwen asked.

'It's just us.' I moaned.

'Who are you?' Estel replied. 'Endomiel and…'

'That's a stupid question!' Arwen said. 'Legolas of course, am I right?'

'Yeah.' Legolas called.

'What are you two doing in the bathroom?' Estel asked. I stepped out. 'Wow! What happened to your face?'

'I tripped over the doorstep…' I managed to say, face still hurting like Mordor. By now, the whole right side of my face was swollen.

'Auw…' Estel said.

'Yeah, really…' Legolas stepped out of the bathroom too, holding a wet facecloth.

'Here, hold this against the swollen parts.'

'It's not big enough.' I said as I tried to fit the cloth over the right half of my face.

'Poor girl.' He hugged me and kissed me on the cheek.

'Auw…' I moaned.

'Sorry.' I walked over to my bed and let myself fall on it. 'I guess I'll be going now…' Legolas said. 'See you tomorrow!'

'Bye!' I said.

'Bye!' Arwen and Estel managed to say in-between kisses. I grabbed my diary and started writing. By the time I'm here with writing, Estel and Arwen are still at it. No, wait, they just stopped. Estel is heading for the door… no, not, he walks back in and kisses Arwen again. And again… is this ever gonna stop? Are leg and I that bad too? Neeh. Well, I think it's about time to stop now, I gotta get some sleep. Yes Arwen and Estel, I gotta get some sleep! Don't expect me to sleep when you two are in this room slobbering all over each other! Wait, he's walking to the door again! He's opening the door… he's turning around again. Damn…

'Cut that out!' I shouted. 'You either leave, or you don't!'

'I think I'll be leaving then…'

'BYE.'

'Bye Endomiel, bye Arwen!' He blew her a kiss. O come on! Act your age already! Get out! Leave! Finally, he's gone! Thank Eru! Time to go to sleep, it's pretty late now, so, see you tomorrow!

Namarië!!

Endomiel

E/N: And? Did you like? I hope so! This is better, isn't it? A little less mushy, and a little more humour, I hope. Anyway, in a few minutes, I'll have my new fic, Life, my P.O.V, uploaded and you people will have more to read about. You can probably guess what it's about… :o)
