E/N: Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii Everyone! How're you all doing? The coming chapters are going to be a bit confusing, for you as well as for me. I'm now writing 3 stories at the same time and it's a lot of fun, but I've got work, training and the school newspaper too, so updates may take a while to appear on the net. Anyway, I'll get back to writing now before Elvea kills me in class tomorrow… God, you know she sings during class? My ears! My poor ears!!! (Yep, I'm in the same class as Elvea in real life, I'm actually sitting next to her, how drunk was I when I agreed on that???) Not only that, but she talks like, all day long! Okay, I'll stop this rattling. Defiantly going to be murdered the day after Elvea reads this… oh well, I'll just tell Bertram I'm mad at him, as a last wish, just so he'll know I do :o) (never mind, inside joke). I'll get to writing now, I promise.

Disclaimer: no shit! I still don't own LotR!! What a surprise! BTW, owner of Orlando Bloom, wanna trade him for an Elijah Wood poster?

21st of Halimath 1384 (S.R.)

Hi readers! Or reader, or whatever/whoever you are…

Today was a humiliating day. Geesh, probably heard that before. Oh well, today was one of those days again.

The day started out bad. As in, the night started out bad. As in, Eru wanted to have a talk with my sister and me… In the middle of the night, I was dreaming a nice dream (don't ask :o) when suddenly, everything got bright white and my soul, as far as I have one, was sucked up to the heavens. My 'soul' looks like a big, dark, black mist with red eyes. I can take any form I want to while in my original form and I am way more powerful as in my elven form, for I now don't have a body witch would limit my powers. I've never felt so free in… well, 16 years.

'Good day ladies.' A voice said. I knew it was Eru, I recognised the voice. I couldn't see him tho, all I could see was a bright white light. I don't like to look at it, it's too bright, too good. I slid of to some shadows nearby. Ah, that's much better.

'Good day father.' Another voice said. I looked into the direction the voice came from. It was my sister. A light, bright, white/blue light, you know, one of those lights you see in the corner of your eye but when you turn your head to see what it is, it's gone…

'You here too sis?' I said. She turned towards me.

'Good to see you, Raukotári (1).' The light… so bright…

'I wish I could say the same, Meneltári (2).' I said. I have to keep up an evil appearance, don't I?

'Ero Míri (3), calm down. Especially you, mir-e-fuin (4).' The light turned to me. I crawled farther into the shadows. The light… it totally fades out my shadow. I might even get wrinkly shadows from it! 'I want to speak to you two.' The light continued. 'First things first. Mir-e-Mantur (5), you know, that as goddess of good, you're not allowed to feel hatred towards anything or anybody.' My sister moved backwards. The shadows on my side grew bigger. I stretched myself out and laid on the floor. 'You had better control yourself, or suffer the consequences.' I laughed. The goddess of good, hating someone! This was just so funny!

'Oh come on!' I said. 'She? Hating somebody? Truly…'

'I wouldn't laugh if I were you.' The light said, shining on my ever so bright. I crawled away in the farthest corners of the shadow. 'For you, you are much worse.' What is he talking about? 'She may hate somebody, but not nearly as much as you love somebody else.' I made myself as small as possible. How did he know I… Nobody was supposed to know! I never said I… 'I know more then you think.' The light suddenly said. 'You can not shield your thoughts from me, nothing can shield it's thoughts from me.'

'So no privacy?' I mumbled.

'This is no time to be funny Mir-e-fuin. You had better act the way you should, or he will suffer the consequences.'

'You leave him out of this!' I yelled as I stepped out of the shadows and into the lights. 'I do whatever I like, if I like him, I like him!' Meneltári looked at me with pity in her eyes. She had no idea what I was going through… she could love without consequences… 'I'll give up all my powers if only I can be with him!' I screamed, desperate for the sake of… the sake of us.

'That is not an option.' I didn't know what to say. I couldn't say what I felt… a goddess of evil isn't supposed to feel these feelings…

'It must be part of your great plan!' I said. 'How else could this have happened?' I had no explaining for this. It was just… too much.

'Sometimes, some things don't happen according to plan.'

'Sure, you must have experience with that!' Meneltári laughed at me. I glared at her. She'd just have to wait… Some day, I'll rule middle earth. My time will come, soon.

'Mir-e-Mantur, enough.' The light said. She was silent right away. 'As I was saying, you have to get rid of him, or I will…'

'How do you mean?' No answer. 'Do I have to kill him?' I felt myself falling back to the ground. 'I'm not going to kill him!' I yelled. I landed back in my body. 'I'm not going to kill him!' I yelled again as I sat up in my bed. Éowyn was standing over my bed.

'Are you okay?' She asked. I looked through the room. Everybody was gone, except Éowyn and I.

'I… I'm fine…' I said as I laid back down. A knock on the door.

'Who is it?' Éowyn called.

'Legolas.' The voice answered. My face grew white of terror. Éowyn looked at me with question marks in her eyes.

'Tell him I'm not here.' I whispered.

'Okay…' she turned around. 'Endomiel isn't here!' she called.

'Do you know where she is?' She turned to me again.

'Outside.' I whispered.

'Outside!'

'Okay. Thanks!' He left again. I sighed.

'What's the matter?' Éowyn asked again.

'Nothing.' I said as I jumped into the bathroom. After a quick shower, I got dressed in a pair of baggy jeans, my newest shirt saying 'I leave bite marks' (Hehehe) and wanted to make my way to the mess. Éowyn closed the door when I tried to open it.

'What is wrong?' She said while looking me in the eyes. 'And don't say nothing, I can feel something's wrong.' I didn't say anything. I couldn't tell her about Eru… And especially not about… 'Why didn't you want to see Legolas?'

'I wasn't dressed.' I quickly said.

'I think he has seen you with less clothes on before.' I blushed. How was I going to save myself from this…? My stomach grumbled.

'I uh... I got to eat something.' I said as I shoved her to the side and walked through the door.

'Don't think you're getting away this easy!' She yelled. I stuck my tongue out at her. Some people… I walked into the mess.

'Hey! I've been looking for you!' Legolas said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck. I pushed him away. He looked at me. 'What's wrong?' he asked.

'I'm cranky. Stay away.' What else could I say? For all I know, as soon as he tries anything, or I try anything, he gets killed! What would happen? Would he get some kind of awful disease and die after a long period of illness? Would he start to hate me? Would he just explode? I hope he'd die, 'cause I don't think I'll be able to live with the thought of him hating me… If he died, at least I could kill my mortal body and choose to live forever with him in the afterlife… Eru would let me do that, right? If that would work, why not kill him now then? I could get it all over with! How could it be so easy? How come I never thought of that before! If I'd just kill us both, everything would be okay! I sat next to Legolas and made an energy-ball in my hand under the table. Just a few more seconds, and the ball would be strong enough to kill. Now, all I had to do was… I couldn't do it. I can't kill him! I may be evil, bad, cold-hearted…no, not even cold-hearted anymore. What has happened to me? Why is this happening to me? I never asked for this!

'Sometimes, things don't happen according to plan…' The words echoed through my head. I absorbed the energy-ball and put my hands above the table. It's not fair… it's just not fair… I slammed my fist on the table. Everybody stared at me. I stared at the table and started to eat the cereal Legolas had put in front of me. What's he eating anyway? Some kind of… pink stuff. Looking around the table, I could see everybody had about the same thing for breakfast, except that Legolas had it pink, Faramir yellow, Boromir brown, Éomer brown-yellow-ish and Estel even had white. What the Mordor was that? It kind of looked like something between custard and yoghurt…

'Leg, what's that?' I asked.

'It's vla. Don't ask, it's some kind of strange desert from a far away country.'

'Oh. What does it taste like?'

'Mine tastes sweet, like strawberries.' He said.

'And yours?' I asked the other guys.

'Vanilla.' Faramir said.

'Chocolate.' Boromir said.

'I've got caramel.' Éomer said with a smile.

'Vanilla, but white.' Estel said.

'Want to taste it?' Legolas asked.

'Yeah, sure.' I said as I took his spoon and took a, uh... bite I guess. As far as you can bite such a gooey thing. About half a second later, the taste exploded on my tongue. SWEET!!!!!!!! I lowered my head to under the table in and effort to get the stuff off my tongue. That, and not everybody had to see the crazy face I made. I took a few deep breaths, my body going up and down with every breath, trying to get the taste out of my mouth. Too… Sweet…

'Don't be such a bitch, just swallow it already.' Legolas said as I slowly lifted my head above the table. A few seconds, everybody was silent. Then, mixed chants filled the air around our table.

'Too gross!'

'I sure hope he means the vla!'

'Swallow…!?!' the table burst out laughing. I have the feeling this was going to haunt me for a very long time…

'I guess that wasn't the smartest thing to say…' Legolas whispered.

'Not quite…' I whispered back. That's when I saw it again. The bracelet. It was still on there? No way! With a little help of my magic, the thing should come right off. I concentrated on the bracelet, and tried to open the lock. The first time failed. So did the second. The third… *KABOEM!* Oh! Not that again! I went sailing through the mess, causing several tables to fall over. Vla, cereal, and all kinds of breakfasts were all over the place. And the students. Oopsy… As I tried to get up, I bowl of vla hit my in the chest. And another against my foot. And another against my back. Before I knew it, somebody screamed 'FOOD FIGHT!' and bowls of breakfast were flying all through the mess. I grabbed the nearest bowl and threw it at one of my offenders, but they were just with too many… I tried to make my way out off the mess as fast as I could, hoping that I'd be safe then. In the distance, I could see Elvea walking to the doors of the mess, not a single drop on her. Hah, this should be easy, I thought as I threw a full bowl of pink vla in her direction. With my magic powers, it should hit her right in the face. It missed by like, 2 inches. How could that be? Maybe Eru was punishing me for liking Legolas and was taking my powers from me one by one… oh well, I ran for the exit myself, followed by several bowls. As soon as I exited the mess and closed the doors behind me, I was safe indeed. No more bowls of cereal, vla, custard, and whatever people eat for breakfast being thrown at me. Legolas came walking through the door too, laughing. He too had his share of breakfast over his body, but not nearly as much as I had. That figured.

'You look great in that new shirt.' He said, grinning widely, while gesturing to me new black shirt. At least, it used to be black…

'Thanks…' I said as I tried to wipe the vla of the print. Everybody should be able to read it! :o) He walked over to me and wiped the food of my shoulders and back. On the floor, a big icky pile of gooey stuff was starting to take form. I started to wipe the vla of my face, it was almost dripping into my eyes and I could feel it running down my neck, into my shirt.

'I'll help you with that…' he said with a mischievous grin on his face. Now what was he up to? He softly kissed me in my neck, going up the trail of vla there.

'Don't do that…' I giggled. It kind of tickled, but that could just be me coz I've always been sensitive for those kind of things.

'Why not?' he said when he reached my mouth. He tried to kiss me, but I pushed him away.

'I said don't do that.' I stepped back. He gave me a questioning look.

'How do you mean?'

'How do you mean "how do you mean?"? There's only one way to interoperate it, isn't there?'

'You mean you actually want not to kiss you?' He asked. I could see this was very confusing to him. I sighed.

'I'm sorry Leg, but yeah, that's what I'm trying to say.'

'I don't get it…' He said. Neh, I figured that much.

'I can't explain it to you now Leg, maybe some other day okay?' I did a few more steps back. He stared at the floor, opened his mouth, and then closed it again. I turned around and started to walk to my room.

'Are you seeing somebody else?' he asked, almost whispering. My eyes grew big. Had he seen me yesterday? I can explain! I … it thought it was him! Really, I thought it was Leg! I turned around again.

'Of course not!' I said, a little to confident I guess. I ran a hand through my hair. He looked at me. 'Of course not!' I repeated. 'I would be able to explain that, wouldn't I?' He sat on the floor.

'If you say so…' I ran over to him and sat next to him. I wrapped my arms around him.

'You know I'd never cheat on you, right?' He looked into my eyes.

*****************************************************************************************************************

Legolas' P.O.V.:

I looked into her eyes. How could she be saying that, after what I'd seen the other day? I saw her kissing… kissing… *him*… I saw it with my own eyes! She can't deny that! And she'd better have a very good explanation for it…

'I'd never cheat on you… I can't cheat on you' She continued. 'I like you.' She smiled as she rested her head against mine, looking into my eyes. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly. She sure has a lot power for such a petite girl…

'Ah… yuck…' I said when she released me from her grasp.

'What?' she asked, not understanding what I was talking about.

'You covered me in the gooey stuff!' She looked down to my shirt, witch now also was covered with vla. She smiled, no grinned, while moving closer to me.

'Don't worry.' She said. 'You'll get your share of me sooner or later…' My eyes widened in shock, I sure didn't expect her to say that! Then I moved in to kiss her, closing my eyes. That's when it hit me. The gooey vla I mean. She was rolling over the floor, laughing of course. The vla was dripping over my face, it must have been a great site.

********************************************************************************************************************

Endomiel's P.O.V.:

I was rolling over the floor, laughing, for several reasons. 1: you should have seen the look on his face when I said that he'd have his share of me sooner or later! Those eyes… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Truly, guys… too funny. 2nd, there was the fact the there's vla dripping down his face. He has this big 'splatch' shaped puddle of vla on his face. And combine that with the death glares he's sending me… I don't think I can EVER stop laughing… after several minutes rolling around, laughing, I got myself to stop and was lying on my back in the hallway, trying to catch my breath.

'You think that's funny huh?' Legolas said as he crawled towards me.

'Uh-huh…' I said, still panting. He crawled on top of me and sat on me, a leg on each side. He tickled my stomach with his right hand.

'Really?'

'Yeah…' I softly said while I saw him moving up and down on the rhythm of my breathing. He moved his face closer to mine. I tried to get away, but he was just too strong. When his face nearly touched mine, he said something.

'Gotcha!' He said as he stuffed the vla he had gathered from… my stomach, I guess, in my face.

'Iwww…' I said as I reached up to wipe the stuff from my face. He started to laugh, and then I rolled over. Now, I was on top, and I pushed him down, wiping my shirt on his face, covering him with breakfast. We started to wrestle there, on the floor, creating a big puddle of junk, covering the floor and nearby wall with breakfast too. After a while the doors opened and some people from our class walked out of the mess to their rooms, staring at us. Eventually, Éowyn, Arwen, Faramir and Estel walked by. They stood there, looking at us, as we continued to cover each other with the vla. As we rolled over (each other), we bumped into Estel, covering his shoes with vla.

'Oh, hi Estel.' Legolas said as he looked up.

'Uh… hi…' He said. I crawled out from under Legolas and hid behind Faramir, trying to escape from Legolas.

'What are you two doing?' Faramir asked.

'Struggling to survive!' I answered.

'It's not that bad.' Legolas said.

'Ah!' I said. 'It so is! You're feeding me strawberry vla! The terror…!'

'Like I said, not that bad…' Legolas, while he was chasing me around Faramir and Éowyn. Eventually, he tackled me, and we ended up on the floor again.

'Okay….' Arwen said as she stepped away from the pile of us on the floor. 'I hope you two remember that class starts in like, 20 minutes, and you can't go to class like… *that*.' I looked at Legolas and myself. She kind of had a point there… I don't think Círdan would appreciate it when we would sit in his classroom covered with food…

'Hmhmhm… you got a point there Arwen.' I said. 'I think I'm gonna take a shower.' I said as I got up. A shower would be the best solution, for I don't see an other way to get everything out of my hair…

'A shower huh…' Legolas said as he got up, a wide grin on his face. 'Lead me the way!' I looked at him. 'Surely you're going to let me come with you, right?' He doesn't really think that that's an option, right? OF COURSE NOT! I would never be able to wash my hair and stuff if he'd be in there too! I stood there a while, pretending to be thinking. The longer I stood there, the wider the eyes and the lower the jaws of Faramir and Estel sank. They obviously thought I was actually thinking about it. Arwen just smirked, she knew what I was up to. 'Are you actually considering?' Legolas asked after a few moments silence.

'Uh, no, but I'm thinking of the most cruel way to say no.' I turned around and walked to my room.

'Ahh… come on! I'll be a good boy, really!' Legolas pleaded as he followed me to my room. I opened the door and walked in. 'Just this once?'

'Oh come on!' I said as I took off my shoes. 'You actually think that I'd take a shower with you? No way in Mordor, buddy!' I grabbed a towel, took off my shirt, threw it in my laundry basket, and stepped into the bathroom. I closed the door behind me.

'Hey, I'm gonna change, don't go anywhere okay?' Legolas said. About 5 minutes later, somebody knocked on the door.

'Who is it?'

'Uh… can I come in now?' I guess it's Legolas then…

'No Leg, you can't come in. let me take a shower in peace please!'

'It was worth a shot…' He mumbled from outside the door. When I was almost done showering, there was another knock on the door.

'I AM NOT COMING OUT AND I AM NOT LETTING YOU IN LEGOLAS!' I yelled from the shower.

*Ahem* uh-oh… something tells me this wasn't Legolas… 'Miss Mornië, I would like to speak with you and your… fiancée before you attend class.' The familiar voice or Elrond said. Double uh-oh…

'Okay…' I said. I was so embarrassed... I could hear somebody laugh on the other side of the door. That got me really pissed. Nobody dares to laugh at the goddess of Evil! 'Don't laugh at me!' I yelled.

'What ever…' Legolas started to laugh even harder. Stupid twerp. A few minutes, I calmed down enough to turn the shower off and wrap a towel around my body. Again, I forgot my clothes, but I guess since Legolas was the only one in there I could come out of the bathroom, I mean, he has seen me wrapped in only a towel before. I opened the door and stepped out. I jumped back in with a yelp. Not only Legolas was there, also Elrond… God, every time I step out of the bathroom I get something completely different from what I expected… and it seems to be getting worse every time…

'Legolas…' I said with a shaking voice. 'Could you please grab a shirt, underwear and a pair of jeans for me?' Oh god… could life get any more embarrassing…? Another knock on the door. I opened the door. Legolas handed me the clothes he had picked for me. Ah, yes, life could get more embarrassing… Just take a quick look at what Legolas picked out for me. Baggy jeans, so far so good, but I think he only picked those coz my skirt's being washed, a push up bra, I only have one and I never wear it, I only have it for parties and stuff, but I guess I'm forced to wear it now… To top it all off, he had given me the smallest shirt he could find. It was a very cool shirt, I must say, it said "I'm not your type, I'm not inflatable" on the front, but still… I think I'll just change as soon as everybody was out of my room… I got dressed and stepped out of the bathroom once again.

'I'm sorry for waiting for you here, Miss Mornië, I thought you'd get dressed in the bathroom…' Elrond said when I stepped out.

'Never mind…' I said as I sat on my bed next to Legolas.

'Looking fine…' Legolas whispered. I kicked him. 'Hey!'

'As a was trying to say…' Elrond started. 'I wanted to talk with the two of you. Especially you miss Mornië. You know that, in this school, be do not tolerate disobedience. If you break the rules, you get detention. I assume you know the rules…' He looked at Legolas. Legolas stared at his feet. 'It might be hard, but try to control yourselves.' He turned to me. 'That means, no flying through lunchrooms, and no running through hallways, no sticking all over each other in public, and certainly, no heavy magic. Especially not if you're not experienced with it.' Now it was my turn to stare at the floor. Okay, so I didn't have all of my powers under control, but still… It was my call to do magic or not! 'I can't stop you if I don't see you, and I can't do anything about it, but until you get you fathers permission, Prince Greenleaf, I can not allow you to be with Miss Mornië, do you understand?' Was that a hint to just stay out of his way and do what we want?

'Yes sir…' Legolas said.

'That is all.' Elrond walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

'I think we have to go to class now…' Legolas said.

'I'm going to change first.'

'Don't like the clothes I picked out for you?' He grinned.

'It's not funny Legolas.'

'I'm just joking.'

'Enough with the jokes already.' If I could just get him to be mad at me, maybe he would break up with me and then he'll never want to see me again, and I won't break his heart so he won't die…

'How do you mean?'

'Quit fooling around Legolas. I don't like your sexist jokes and I don't like the way you treat me. You're a spoilt little brat, you know that? I'm not your girlfriend for the soul purpose of entertaining you. I have my own life, I make my own choices and I do what I want, capish?' He was quite startled by what I said there and then. This was most defiantly new for him, but it had to be said. He kind of was a spoilt brat, and I'm certainly not his toy.

'Oh… okay…' He walked to the door. 'I'll wait outside, you can stay in here as long as you want.' What does he think he's doing? I'm not his servant! I don't need him to be allowed to be in my own room! What kind of bullshit is this?!? I changed my clothes, as in, only the bra actually, grabbed my bag, and climbed out of the window. I would walk to the school building without Legolas. Running late, I made my way to class as fast as I could. When walking around a corner, I bumped into a guy from one of the higher classes.

'I'm sorry…' I said as I got back up.

'It's okay.' He said as he helped me up. He patted me on the shoulder. 'It's okay girl.' He smiled at me as he brushed his long blonde hair from his face. I just stood there a sec, staring into his eyes. There was a strange look in his eyes. Kind, but there was also something else… I couldn't quite define what it was… Suddenly, someone wrapped and arm around my shoulders. Legolas. Could have guessed. He sent the other elf a dirty look and dragged me off.

'Did he do anything to you?' Legolas asked.

'Uh… no… I bumped into him when I walked around the corner and uh…' What was this all about? I don't need him to follow me around and check my every move!

'Stay away from the higher class guys okay, they're only after one thing.' I looked into his eyes. I didn't quite get his point. I don't have much experience with guys you know, Legolas is kind of my first real boyfriend, I have had friends before, but not a boyfriend. 'Sex.' He said as he turned around and dragged me off to the classroom.

'Not only the guys from higher classes…' I said, kind of to myself. Legolas nudged me in the shoulder.

'I heard that.' He said.

'Good.' We walked into the classroom and sat down in our seats. Westron from Círdan. Oh well, can't be that bad right? Think again. It's pretty boring actually. Another stupid language… Why can't we just all speak Quenya or something like that? *sigh*

After that, we had Geology from Haldir. Boring as always, I have the feeling I slept through class. No, wait, I remember something! I was writing something in my notebook, when Legolas bumped into my elbow with his elbow. As I probably already told you, Legolas sits left of me. What I haven't told you yet, is that I'm left handed, and he's right handed. If I'm not really paying attention, I tend to take up huge amounts of space with my left arm, and like I just said, Legolas bumped into my arm. Still desperate to get him mad at me, I got mad at him.

'Watch it will you!' I hissed.

'What? You are on my table you know! You should keep your arm on your own desk.' Okay Leg, get mad at me! Please get mad at me…

'Well, you could watch it anyway!' I said.

'What's your problem?' he asked.

'YOU are my problem.' I answered.

'What's that supposed to mean?'

'You annoy me.'

'What ever.' He turned back to his work. Isn't there any way to get him mad at me? There must be some way to get him mad!

'That doesn't mean anything to you?' I said in a last effort to get him annoyed.

'Of course it does, but you're cranky and you probably just want to piss somebody off, so I'm not really paying attention to your ramblings.'

'What? You're not even listening to what I'm saying?' I whispered.

'Of course I am…'

'No you're not! You never listen! You only care about yourself!' I paused for a moment. 'You don't love me, you are just using me!'

'You listen missy! I am not using you! I haven't done anything to you that you didn't want…'

'Who said that?'

'You never said anything about it…'

'So?' Now he was confused, I could see it. But, my plan was working, he was getting mad at me. If only he could understand why… I'd rather just tell him the truth, but I don't think he'd make it to tomorrow if I did. If only he'd know what this is doing to me… Every time I reject him… every time I feel like kissing him, instead of pushing him away, but that's not an option. I don't want to know what will happen if I do… in my mind, I see this image of a little badly drawn boy, looking similar to Legolas, walking around and suddenly exploding, blood and guts and stuff flying all over the place… that's not what I want to happen to Legolas.

'How am I supposed to know you don't want something? You expect me to just know?'

'Yeah. You are the high-and-mighty stuck-up prince of Mirkwood, aren't you?' He shot me a nasty look. 'What? Are you going to tell me you're not as great as you tell everybody you are? No magic powers, nothing?' Now I had him, I could see it. If I could only attack his pride a little, he'd most defiantly be mad.

'What do you think I am? An all-knowing boyfriend? You have to tell me when you don't want something, or when you do want something! I am no miracle-boy!'

'No, I sure noticed that!' he looked at me, not knowing what I meant. Now, it was time to put up the biggest lie of the whole conversation… 'I've had better ones you know.' I said. I hoped he'd fall for it…

'What?!?' Legolas said. 'I thought I was your first…'

'Whatever girlfriend.' I said. 'Even if you were, I've had better.' Arwen gasped. I guess she had been listening to the whole conversation from her seat in front of us. And okay… I shouldn't have said that, I know, I'm kind of pushing myself in a corner now…

'WHAT!?!' Legolas said. Haldir turned around and glared at us.

'Miss Mornië and Prince Greenleaf, this is a classroom, not the office of a relationship-counsellor. Your private business is not to be discussed in this here.'

'Fine, we'll take it outside then.' Legolas said as he got up. 'Move it Endomiel.' Now I've got him mad! Finally! Man, if he could just dump me, and get it all over with, we could move on with our lives! I mean, not that I actually want to break up with him… he's a nice guy, gorgeous, good kisser, soft touch… 'HELLO? Middle-Earth to Endomiel!' Legolas said.

'Huh? What?'

'I'm talking to you!'

'What were you saying?'

'I was saying, what the hell did that mean? How do you mean even if I was your first, you've had better?' I knew I'd be stuck… 'Have you been cheating on me?'

'No! I'm cheating on you with Faramir just as much as you've been cheating on me with Elvea.' Oh god… I just had to say that didn't I! How stupid… how stupid can you be!

'I never said you were cheating on me with Faramir…'

'Uh… well… neither did I.'

**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~*

Legolas' P.O.V.

'I never said you were cheating on me with Faramir…' I said.

'Uh… well… neither did I.' She said. Yeah right, and what was that I heard her say? Like, what was that I saw her doing yesterday? She opened her mouth to say something. 'Don't speak, I know what you're saying…'

'I can explain! I meant nothing! I was set up! I thought it was you! Really!' She yelled. Like yelling was going to help. I could hear her perfectly well if she just talked. Besides, there's now explanation for what she had done…

'Please, stop explaining, can't you see it hurts? You've caused enough damage for one day, leave me alone.'

'Legolas…' I turned around and walked back into the classroom. I tried to close the door behind me, but she held it open. I walked to my seat. 'I can explain, just hear my out! I…'

'Shut up Endomiel! I don't want to listen to your crappy excuses anymore! We'll discuss it some other time, now shut up please.'

'FINE! Have it your way!' she turned around and slammed the door behind her. The entire class was staring at uh.

'Okay people, the show's over!' I said as I turned back to my work.

You and me, we used to be together, always stick together, always. I guess that was over now. Maybe, I could hear her out in the lunch break, and maybe she does have a good explanation for it… I mean, she wouldn't actually cheat on me, right? Maybe she really thought it was me, I was walking in that direction, and Faramir walked around that corner like he had appeared out of nowhere…

This really feels, like I'm losing my best friend. We only know each other for like, two weeks, a little more, but still, she thought me so much. Like how unpredictable women are… I can't believe, this could be the end… Why is she letting this go so easy? Wasn't she the one desperately trying to keep us together? It looks as tho, she's letting go, and if it's real, well, I don't want to know… if it's true, I'll surely have to go back… maybe, if she's really seeing Faramir now, that's what she wants… maybe she wants me too leave? Or, this is just her way of getting over me… But that means she already gave up… Suddenly, the door opened with a bang. Endomiel stormed in. It looked like she had been crying, her eyes were a bit red, but that couldn't be right. Endomiel doesn't cry, she only gets terribly mad. She looked at me, stared into my eyes. Please, don't make a scene… Don't speak, I know just what you want to say, so just stop explaining, don't tell me 'cause it hurts… She glared at Faramir, a deadly glare indeed. She turned back to me. Don't speak, I know what you're thinking, and I don't need your reasons, don't tell me 'cause it hurts…

'Faramir, outside, now.' She said with a shaking voice. My eyes grew big. What was she going to do? There were only like, two options. She was either going to snog him, or going to punch him… She glared at him again. Okay… I am betting on the punch part. Go Endy! I mean… uh… Poor Faramir… Yeah, that's what I mean. Faramir slowly got up and walked towards Endomiel.

'What's wrong Endomiel?' He asked. She didn't reply. She took his arm and dragged him out of the classroom. Now what's she up to? Wait, already discussed that. Never mind, I'm not really at it today… I'm sinking away in memories. Our memories… They are so inviting, but some are altogether mighty frightening… like that day Éomer and I found out about her tattoo… creepy…still don't know why the tattoo is there tho… It's all ending. I've got to stop pretending, that you love me like I love you… You and I, I can see us dying, are we?

After a little while, Faramir calmly walked back into class, his left eye was starting to swell. He sat down on his chair. I guess she did punch him. She must be pretty mad at him. Or maybe not… she punched me too one time, and I don't think she hated me then. Endomiel didn't come back in for the rest of the class. And she didn't come to art either. During art, we had to paint something, emotions or wherever. Elvea got in a paint-fight with a few people, Éomer, Estel, Faramir and I don't know who, while I dipped my paintbrush in the dark paints (don't ask) and kind of painted the whole paper dark, but I only found out I did after the class, coz I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing.

'Why did you use such dark colours?' Celebrían asked when everybody had left and I was the only one in the classroom staring into nothing, absently moving the brush over the paper.

'Hm?'

'Your choice of colours is… sad.'

'How do you mean?'

'The dark colours, is that how you feel?'

'Uh…' I looked at the paper. That's when I actually noticed the dark colours. 'No… I uh… I just like dark colours.' I said as I quickly cleaned up my mess and got out of the classroom.

'If you want to talk…' She called after me. I ran around the corner. The last thing I wanted were teachers who would be getting on my case all day…

I walked to the mess and looked around. No Endomiel. A very annoyed Faramir, but no Endomiel. That sucks. Where could she be? We really needed to talk, but I can't talk to her if I can't find her. I walked outside, to the lawn. She wasn't there either. What did she do? Vanish? I peeked into the forest. I saw something moving there. I snuck over there. I could hear a familiar voice singing. I didn't know she sang for fun.

'I just want to rock you. All night long…(6)' She sang. Hmhmhm… that's not the typical elven music… she reached into her pocked and moved her hand around. She began humming to another tune. Probably changed the song or something. 'These are twenty one things, that I want, in a lover.' She sang. 'Not necessarily needs, but qualities, that I prefer.(7)' I snickered. Well, at least she knows what she wants… She turned her hear around with a jerk. Uh-oh… I guess she heard me laugh… she pulled the plugs out of hear ears and jumped up. She looked around. I'm lucky I'm so good at hiding… She probably didn't see me, because she sat back down and put one plug back in her ear. I got up and turned around. 'Bye Legolas.' She said. How did she know I was here? I'm sure she didn't see me… Or did she?

'Uh... Endomiel, I wanted to talk to you…'

'I figured that much…' She mumbled. I walked over to her and sat next to her, leaning against the tree.

'What's up with Faramir?' I asked.

'Nothing.'

'I think you broke his nose.' I said, exaggerating, trying to get a reaction out of her.

'Good for him.'

'How do you mean?'

'Suits him well, the bastard.'

'What's wrong?'

'Nothing.' Uh-oh… here comes trouble… whenever a girl says nothings wrong, there's a hell lot wrong…

'Well, I need to talk to you anyway.'

'Whatever.' She put the other plug in her ear too and turned up the volume. I'm guessing she doesn't want to talk to me… well, though luck.

'I don't care if you want to talk or not, I need to talk to you.' I said as I pulled the plugs from her ears.

'Can we talk some other time?' she said, kicking some twigs on the floor in front of her.

'No. We are going to talk now, if you like it or not.' She sighed, but turned of the music.

'Yes dad…' she muttered under her breath. She's probably not used to having people around with elven hearing, or she wouldn't have said it that loud. Or maybe she wanted me to hear it…

'How are things between us?' I asked. She shivered when I said us. She shrugged. 'What's that supposed to mean?'

'How should I know?'

'Well, you're half of us.'

'So?'

'So you must have an opinion on things.'

'I don't.' Come on! How impossible can you be?!? This was going to be harder then I thought.

'What's your problem?' I said, raising my voice.

'What's *your* problem?!?'

'You are my problem!'

'So now I'm your problem?' She yelled. 'First comes love, then comes engagement, then comes the time where you call me your problem?!?'

'That's not how I meant it…' Yep, I knew I was going to be in trouble…

'Noooo, of course not. Everything to keep me, or you'll lose your kingdom, am I right?' I sighed. 'Yep, I'm right. I knew it! I knew it all along!' She got up and started pacing. I slammed my head against the tree behind me. Shouldn't have done that… She turned around and looked at me. 'Are you okay?' She asked.

'Depends what you think is okay…' I moaned. My poor head… the poor tree… She sat back down against a tree opposite of me. She stared at the ground. 'Endomiel…' I said. She looked up. She looked so… sad…

'What Legolas?' She asked.

'What's next?'

'How do you mean?'

'Well, obviously, I'm not the only guy in your life.'

'You are.'

'What about Faramir?'

'I already told you, I thought it was you! You were walking in my direction, and I hadn't seen you in a long time, and I thought I'd surprise you and jump out from behind the plant, but it turned out to be Faramir who walked by…'

*~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**

Endomiel's P.O.V.

'I already told you, I thought it was you! You were walking in my direction, and I hadn't seen you in a long time, and I thought I'd surprise you and jump out from behind the plant, but it turned out to be Faramir who walked by…' I said. Okay, so I wanted to argue with him, but I don't want him to feel miserable. Tell me again, why am I doing this? Right… exploding boyfriend scenario…

'And you expect me to believe that?' Legolas said.

'Well, yeah.'

'I am not as stupid as I look you know.'

'Neither am i.'

'You don't look stupid.'

'Why do you have to be so nice! You are only making things harder for me, and for yourself…' I said before I knew what I was saying.

'Making what harder for myself? Is there something you are not telling me?'

'Legolas…'

'You want to break up don't you?'

'That's not it…'

'How do you mean?'

'It's way deeper…' I might as well tell him, he has a right to know…

'What…?'

'I don't want to break up, I have to. For my own health, but especially for yours.'

'I don't understand…'

'Don't try to understand it Leg, it goes way over your head.'

'But, why do you have to break up? I thought you said we could stay together if we wanted, and you want to stay together, right?'

'Of course, more then anything…' I said. 'But we can't.'

'Why not?'

'Legolas…'

'Why not?' he raised his voice.

'Because…'

'Is it another guy…?'

'No…'

'Is it… another woman?' my eyes widened in shock, and then I laughed.

'No.' I laughed. I don't anything against lesbians, or gay people in general, but I'm not one myself.

'Is it because you don't love me?' God, not this question… If I say no, I say I do love him, and something bad will happen to him, and if I say yes… well, you know what will happen then. Bye-bye Legolas, have fun in Mirkwood…

'That's not it, but we still can't be together.' I said as fast as I could so Eru wouldn't get a chance to make him explode.

'Why not?' Oh come on…

'Because we can't. We can't be together, I can't be together with you, I can't be with Faramir, and not with any other guy on the god-damn-planet!' I screamed. 'It's not fair! Not fair! You hear me!' A tear dripped down my face. And another. And another. And then, I was officially crying. Legolas just stared at me. I think he didn't quite know what to do. I got up and turned around, now facing the tree. He didn't have to see me cry like that. I drew a few deep breaths, and tried to calm down, but it didn't quite work. Instead, I cried even harder. 'It's not fair.' I whispered as I slammed my fist into the tree. 'Not fair!' I slammed my hand into the tree again. 'NOT. FAIR…!' I lifted my hand up again. Legolas grabbed my hand. I didn't even notice him getting so close to me…

'It's not the tree's fault…' He said as he hugged me. 'And I don't care whose fault it is, we can make it work.'

'You can not meddle with the ways of Gods Legolas…'

'Then I'll die trying.' Oh god, not the die trying thing again… What is it with elves and doing stuff they can't and then die trying? Suborn elves.

'That's exactly what's going to happen, and that's what I'm afraid for…'

'Hey, I love you, and I don't care if you can't love me, or say you love me, I know you d-' I covered him mouth with my hand.

'Don't say that.' I said. 'Don't ever say that, if your want to live.' I turned back to the tree. I could feel the tears coming back, and I didn't like it… Yep, there was the first one… drip... drip… drip…

'Stop that…' Legolas said. 'Stop crying… come on, don't be sad…'

'I'm sorry… I can't help myself…' I said. He turned me around and wiped the tears of my face.

'Hey, it's okay, I'll lay off you for a while.' No… that's not what I want either… *sigh* 'Okay?'

'Well…' he grinned.

'Not okay huh?' he said.

'Well… I have needs to…' I smiled. I kissed him on the nose. Lust is a sin right? And sins are bad things… I kissed him. Well, I'll go for that sin anytime. :o)

'You do huh?' he said, in between kisses.

'Yeah…'

'You know?'

'Hm?'

'You taste salty.' I sighed.

'A real turn on Leg, a real turn on…' That's when the bell rang. 'Oh, shit, I still have to get my books…' I ran to my room.

'Endy! We have gym!' Legolas said as he ran after me. I slowed down.

'Oh.' I stood still. 'We could skip that…'

'We could, but I don't think that's a good idea tho…'

'Why not?'

'My dad would certainly make me go back if I started to skip classes.'

'Ah, drat.'

'Yeah.' We walked to the changing rooms, and with a last kiss we parted.

'Everything is back to normal between you and Leg, isn't it?' Arwen said. I smiled. 'What's with Faramir?'

'Uh…'

'He has a black eye, what did you do to me.'

'Self defence.' I said.

'Self defence?'

'Yeah.' I sighed. I guess I'd better explain it to her. Nobody else in the changing room, so I started to tell the story. 'Yesterday, I saw Legolas walking through the hallways, and I wanted to surprise him so I hid behind the plant and jumped out when he passed and kissed him.'

'So what's the problem?'

'Let me finish. I thought it was Legolas, but it turned out to be Faramir. Legolas saw the whole thing, or I think he did, and he didn't like it, to say the least. So today, Legolas was kind of pissed at me, and we got in an argument. You saw a part of that. Well, after that I talked to Faramir, and he…' I paused. 'He kissed me again.' Arwen's eyes widened in shock.

'Isn't he seeing Éowyn?' she asked.

'That's what I thought. I told him to stop that, I didn't want him to do that, I'm happy with Legolas, and he's seeing Éowyn. He didn't listen. He only said "You know you liked that". That was too much for me. "You arrogant bastard!" I said and then I hit him. Not hard, and not a real punch, but those mortals bruise so fast…'

'Are you okay?'

'I'm fine…'

'And I'm guessing Legolas forgave you?'

'I explained everything, he didn't quite believe it, but he forgave me anyway, I think.' When we were changed into our gym clothes, I grabbed my bow and some arrows from the closet and walked outside. Archery was kind of boring, coz I had been shooting for as long is I could remember, and my shot was perfect, like with every trained elf. The second hour we had fencing, but I'm not too good at that. I fenced with Legolas, but he's a lot better at it then I am.

'You're dead.' He said when he stabbed me for the kazillionth time.

'Yeah yeah, I know the routine.' I sighed, 'Why don't you just let me win for a change.

'Because you suck at fencing.'

'I don't suck at fencing!'

'I beat you every time!'

'I am letting you win.'

'Yeah right.' He turned around and walked away. I poked him in the back.

'I'll beat you right now.' I said.

'Fine.' So, we started another game. Attack, defend, attack, defend, attack, attack, defend, to late… Ah! Almost got me… Attack, over his head, defend my right side, left side, head, and poke him.

'I got your arm buddy!' I said.

'You haven't won yet.' He said.

'You just wait…' Defend again, attack his head, side, head again, defend! DEFEND!! Help! Aaahh… I fell on the floor. Legolas pointed his sword at my neck.

'Got you.' He said.

'I'm not dead yet.' I said. I rolled over and kicked his legs out from under him. He fell to the ground. I got up as fast as I could, but I wasn't fast enough. Legolas kicked away my sword, and I threw his away too. I crawled to my sword, when Legolas pulled my leg and I couldn't reach the sword.

'I'm not letting you win that easily…' He said.

'I won't let you win at all.' I said, stretching out as far as I could to reach the sword. That's when Glorfindel blew his whistle. The lesson was over. We didn't stop our fight. Not before we had a winner.

'Prince Legolas, miss Endomiel, would you stop rolling on the floor and clean up your mess?' Glorfindel said on a demanding tone.

'First we finish this fight.' I said, pulling my leg into the direction of the sword, dragging Legolas along. Glorfindel walked over to the sword. He grabbed it and hung it in the closet.

'Hey! Not fair!' Legolas called. 'We weren't finished yet!'

'I do not want to see what happens when you are, sir.' He locked the closet. 'Now, get out of the gym please.'

'I demand you give our swords back.' Legolas said.

'I'm sorry, but I'm a prince too, you can't demand me to do anything.'

'Well… then we… we uh…'

'We won't get off the floor before we have our swords back.' I said.

'Miss Mornië, get out of the gym this instant.'

'Or what? You'll give me detention?'

'I'll get you grounded.' What? Not fair at all! I want detention, I don't want to get grounded! That probably means I can only leave my room to go to class, and can't go anywhere else… that would suck big time. I got up and walked out of the gym.

'Endomiel…' Legolas said.

'I don't want to get grounded Leg…'

'It's probably not that bad.

'If I get grounded, and you get grounded, we both can't go out of our rooms and can only talk to each other by yelling to the other side of the hallway.'

'I see your point…' Legolas grinned as he got up and walked out of the gym. Now it was lunch break again. And I was hungry. What a coincidence! We walked to the mess, got our food and sat down with the rest of our class. I looked at my hand. Was that a ring around my finger? I looked more closely. No, it's not. Must have been a shadow or something… This reminds me of the dream I had before Eru picked me out of it. I can see two people on the beach, near the water, holding hands. The sun is setting, they're silent, and look happy. I know that boy, coz it is Leg. He smiles at her, she looks like me, but that can't be, coz I've wrecked every relationship I've ever had. I can never be that girl, so calm, so loving, not like me. But why does it see so right? I like him, he knows that, but somewhere something's terribly wrong. I'm wearing a ring, but I never married him… She turns around, they have to leave, I look into her eyes, I can see the pain. Those two people, committed to each other, they're both stuck, but don't want to be. That cannot be me. I would never let it come to that… let it be the sun. Let it be the beach. Let it be the ocean, please, never want to see me again… let it be the salt… let it all be my fault… but never ever let me forget this… never forget this (8). This cannot be me. That is so not me… I am so glad it's only a dream, I would be so screwed if it were real… if that was my future… the ring only makes me upset. I never had a good look at the ring… maybe it's THE ring… *grins* if only I could get that ring back…

'Hello? Endomiel?' Éomer said.

'Hm?' I looked up.

'I was asking you what happened?' I stared at the table.

'Ask me some other time, okay?'

'Uh… okay…' In the corner of my eye, I could see Faramir sit down on the other side of the table. I got up, grabbed my food and walked to a table at the other side of the room and sat down there. Legolas looked at me form the other side of the mess, and then joined me.

'Avoiding him huh?'

'I don't feel like being near him right now.'

'He's only on the other side of the mess.'

'Don't remind me of that.' We ate our food and went to my room, or actually, I went to my room and he followed me. I flung myself on my bed and stared at the ceiling. He layed next to me.

'What are you thinking?' he asked.

'Nothing.' Also known as that jerk Faramir…

'You have a worried look on your face.'

'I'm tired.'

'How come?'

'I slept bad last night.'

'Bad dream?'

'You could call it that.' I closed my eyes. Breathe in…. breathe out… in… out… in… something touched my face. Something warm. Two fingers ran a circle around the side of my face. It tickled… I smiled. Back on my fore head, he ran his fingers straight down, over my nose, lips, then I bit them.

'Hey! What did you do that for?' He laughed.

'What did you do that for?'

'So I would remember the way you looked if I never see you again.'

'Oh.'

'I always try to remember things I like.'

'Like what?'

'Like, when Sauron was defeated, I still remember the great party my father gave when he came back.' A party? For the defeat of Sauron? They should be mourning!

'A party huh.'

'Yeah, didn't you celebrate the fall of evil?'

'No.' Of course not! I am the fallen evil! The freak Isildur cut of 4 of my fingers! *sigh*

'Oh.' I sat up against the wall, knees pulled up to my chin. Legolas still laid in my bed, looking at me, a smile on his face.

'What are you smiling at?'

'I'm happy, so I smile.'

'Happy huh?'

'Yep.'

'Couldn't get any happier?'

'Hmhmhm… could be a little happier, but it's fine how it is.'

'What would you like to change?'

'Well, we could stop talking and…' The bell rang.

'…Go to class.' I said.

'We could skip it.' He said.

'I thought you couldn't skip class?' he sighed.

'I know I can't, but we can still pretend we are going to skip class and think about what we would do if we wouldn't have to go to school.'

'True.' I said as I climbed over him and grabbed my bag. I stuffed my history and chemistry books in my bag. Chemistry huh? We haven't had that before… That could be fun… We crossed the hallway and Legolas packed his bag. I bumped into Frodo on the way out and then walked we to the classroom. In the hallway, we passed the guy I bumped into earlier. He waved. I shyly waved back. Legolas put his arm around my shoulders and glared at the other guy. The other guy gave Legolas the finger. Legolas was about to walk over to the other guy and try to punch him in the face or something like that, but I held him back.

'Don't Leg, just ignore him.' I just saved his guts. Everybody could see that that other guy was a well-trained elf, probably good at fighting and stuff like that. Legolas is strong to, but I don't think he'd win that fight… certainly not alone, the other guy was hanging near the door of his classroom with a few equally strong-looking guys.

'If you'd ignore him, there wouldn't be a problem.' I sighed. Are all guys that jealous? We walked into our classroom and sat down. Elvea was already in her seat, come to think of it, everybody was already on his or her seat. Oh well, the second bell hadn't rang yet. Right? *TRIIIIIIIIINGGG!!!!!* Nope, but now it had.

'Good day class.' Gildor said. Something about his tone of voice told me we weren't really going to discuss a lot of history today. 'I have to talk to you about your behaviour, especially the behaviour of some of you.' He glared at me. 'I hope you all know, that this is a calm school. The students hear, as well as the teachers, like their rest, and would like to keep this place peaceful. Especially during dinner or breakfast.' Oh, is that what he's aiming at… Hehehe… the food fight this morning… 'This morning, Endomiel here started a food fight.' I waved at the class, my head bright red as a tomato. The rest of the class started to laugh. 'I never want any of you to try that again. This one time, we'll pretend it never happened, but next time, expect a severe detention.' What? Does he mean I don't get detention now? Why not? I want detention! You know what, tomorrow I'm going to get myself some detention. If Elvea can get detention, I can get suspended. It can't be that hard, can it? 'Endomiel, do you have anything to say regarding the incident this morning?'

'Uh… Oopsy?' I tried. Hey, I'm not going to say sorry! I'm the bloody goddess of evil! I don't apologise!

'Anything else?'

'Uhm... Not really, except, next time, either hit or don't throw because otherwise it's just a waste of food.'

'Okay… that will be enough miss Endomiel…' Gildor said. Obviously didn't see that answer coming. :o) The rest of the class passed quickly, and then it was time for the next break.

I really looked forward to making magic potions and all kinds of stuff and making the classroom explode, but that wasn't quite what I got… We entered the classroom. It was just an ordinary classroom, so we all sat down on our seats.

'Hello, and welcome to Chemistry.' The man in front of class said. I had seen him before, walking through the school, but I didn't know who he was. 'I am Aegnor.' He introduced himself. 'And I will be your chemistry teacher for this semester. I don't know all your names yet, but I will try to learn them as soon as possible. I do have a map with your names and places so I will be able to call you by your names.' He doesn't know our names huh? And he has a map huh… Hehehe. Maps are very nice things. Easy to put a spell on too… I grinned. With a soft snap of my fingers, the names on the map were all switched. This should be fun. 'Okay. Let's get started. Does anybody know any chemicals and their atomic formulas?' Elanor stuck uh her hand. 'Yes Éowyn?'

'Uh, sir, I'm Elanor.' Elanor said.

'Then who is Éowyn?' Éowyn stuck up her hand. 'No, that can't be, on my map it says that you are… wait, that can't be right either.'

'How do you mean sir?' Éowyn asked.

'On the map it say's your Boromir, but I'm quite sure that Boromir is a boy.'

'I am Boromir sir.' Boromir said.

'No, you are Legolas!'

'I am Legolas.' Leg said.

'But, it says here that you are Vebor…'

'I think your map is wrong sir.' Estel said.

'I guess so…' he looked at his map. 'Well, I'll draw a new one.' He asked everybody's name and drew another map. A few seconds later, the names were screwed up again. 'Faramir, could you tell me the atomic formula of water?'

'H2O.' Faramir said.

'I'm sorry, but are you Faramir?' Aegnor said with a sarcastic undertone.

'As a matter of fact, I am.' Faramir said.

'Then who is he?' Aegnor asked, pointing at the person he was talking to, Vebor. 'Elladan. Could you go get your dad? I would like to figure this out once and for all.' Of course he knew the names of Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen, they are Elrond's children.

'Okay sir.' Elladan got up and walked out of the classroom. A few minutes later, he returned with a pissed Elrond, but then again, when is Elrond not pissed? Elrond explained to him how the map worked, and then looked at it. We could all see the surprised look on his face. How do you mean the names are not on the right places? Lol :o)

'Okay, who changed the maps?' Elrond called through the class.

'Somebody changed the maps?' Vebor asked.

'Apparently.'

'Kewl.' Elrond glared at him. 'I mean, like, how childish of him. Or her.' After that, Elrond fixed the map and put a spell on it so it couldn't be changed anymore. Ah, drat! I was having so much fun! The rest of the lesson was kind of boring, so I won't go into the details. After class, I went to my room to dump my bag. When I did that, I went out to the lawn and sat with the others. Somehow, I was so tired… probably because of the emotional stuff earlier today. Thinks like that always exhaust me… *sigh* I laid down, closing my eyes.

'Thinking again huh?' Legolas said, towering over me.

'Hm.' He nudged me in the side with the tip of his shoe. 'Stop that.'

'Why?'

'Coz it tickles.' I smiled.

'It does huh?' he did it again.

'I meant it Legolas, stop that.'

'Okay.' He sat down next to me, legs crossed, elbows resting on his knees, head resting on his hands.

'Stop staring at me.' I said.

'How did you know I was staring at you? You didn't even look.

'I just knew you did.'

'Weird.' What can I say, I just am weird. And then there's the fact that Legolas tends to stare at me a lot when I'm not looking. Legolas laid next to me. 'What are you thinking of this time?'

'Nothing in particular.'

'So this time you're actually thinking about something?'

'Yeah.'

'Scary…' I softly punched him in his chest. 'Hey, stop that!'

'Then don't be such a funny guy.'

'I can be funny whenever I want to.'

'Can't you be something else now?'

'I can be your boyfriend now.'

'What's that supposed to mean?' I opened my eyes. He leant in to kiss me. I rolled over. He went face-first into the grass. 'What are you doing?' I said, loud enough for everybody to hear. Everybody turned around to look at Legolas. They laughed. Legolas' face turned red as a strawberry.

'I uh… well, I tried to kiss her but she rolled over and I uh… well, the grass didn't roll over.' Another laugh, then everybody turned back to whatever they were doing. 'What did you do that for?'

'I was being a funny girl.' I said, a wide grin on my face.

'Funny girl my ass…' he mumbled. I knew he was going to say something like that!

'Not funny huh?' I crawled on top of him. 'I'll make you laugh.' I started to tickle his sides. Nothing happened. Huh?

'I'm not ticklish.' Legolas said.

'That can't be. Everybody's ticklish somewhere, I just have to find the right spot…'

'Well, search.' He grinned.

'You wish.'

'You know me to well.'

'I know more then you think I know.'

'I want to know more of you.'

'Ooh, smooth talker.' I said.

'Smooth as can be.'

'Well, you're not *that* smooth buddy.'

'Yes I am.'

'What ever.'

'That never.'

'What kind of reply is that?' I said, rolling of him again.

'Well, it's a-' *KABOEM* 'What was that?'

'I don't know.' I said. 'But it came from our rooms.'

'What could it be?'

'Let's check it out!' I jumped up and ran towards the dormitories, Legolas close behind me, and others closely behind him. I arrived in our hallway and looked around. Nothing seemed wrong. I looked at the doors of all the rooms. Our room had nothing, but what was that coming out from under the door of Leg's room? It was light blue and… I walked over to it. Sticky... gooey… gross. I opened the door. Legolas stepped in before I could tell him not too.

'Leg don't…' *Ahhh!* 'go in there…' Legolas slipped because the blue stuff was very slippery, and landed on his back. He carefully got back up. I started to laugh.

'What?' He asked, a bit pissed.

'You… your back… your whole backside…. Head to toe…'

'What about it?'

'It's covered in the blue sticky gooey stuff!' I laughed. This made him even more pissed.

'Ha ha, very funny. Could you get it off now?' He carefully walked out of the room and turned his back to me.

'Yeah, okay…' I said, still laughing. I tried to wipe it off, but somehow, it had dried. 'Uhm, Leg, it's all in your hair…'

'Then get it out.'

'Yeah, it dried and now it's kind of stuck…' I said while picking the big dry blobs out of his hair and from his back.

'Ah man…'

'What happened here?' Elrond asked, quite angry.

'We were sitting outside sir.' Estel said, who had been behind Legolas the whole time. 'And then suddenly we heard a loud bang and we ran inside. Legolas stepped into his room but he slipped and now he's covered in whatever it is that covered everything in the whole room.' Elrond looked in.

'Who did this?'

'If only I knew…' Legolas grumbled. I continued picking the stuff out of his hair. 'Ouch, my hair is attached to my head, you know…'

'Sorry…' I said. Elrond started an investigation to find out who did this, and what the heck the stuff was. The stuff was so strongly attached to whatever it landed on, that it wouldn't even come off with elven magic. Poor Leggy… oh my goddess… did I just think Leggy? This is getting bad… this is getting worse with the minute… if I don't watch my moves, I might even get attached to that semi-mortal… Neeh. 'Come on Leg.' I said. 'I'll get the stuff out of your hair and off your back.'

'Thanks.' I dragged him to the bathroom in my room and closed the door behind us.

'Take the shirt off.' I said.

'Okay…' he grinned.

'The back is covered with the blue stuff.' I said. 'Besides, I'm going to use some water.'

'Sure you are.' His grin grew even wider. 'Hey, the back of your shirt is all covered in blue stuff too!'

'What? Really?' I turned my head around as far as I could but I still couldn't see the back of my shirt. I took the shirt half off. Wait a minute… There is now way that it could have gotten onto my shirt… and in order to see I have to take my shirt off… 'Very funny Legolas.' I put my shirt back on.

'You almost fell for it.'

'No I didn't.'

'Yes you did.'

'No I didn't.'

'Yes you did.'

'No i… ah, just take off your shirt already.' He took his shirt off and threw it on the floor. 'Okay, now sit here please.' I pointed at the side of the tub. He sat down. I turned on the water and aimed the shower at his head. The stuff on his head got a bit softer because the shower was quite warm, but that only made it drip through his hair and get stuck even worse… it probably came in contact with the skin on his head, because at a certain point…

'Ah! Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!'

'What's wrong Legolas?' I asked.

'THE STUFF! It feels like it's burning a way through the skin on my head!'

'Does it hurt that much?'

'Yeah! Now get it off!' I rinsed his hair as fast as I could, but the stuff just wouldn't come out.

'It's not coming out that fast Legolas…' I said.

'That's okay, it doesn't really hurt anymore, it only itches like hell now.'

'Oh, okay.'

'Could you uh…'

'What?'

'Scratch the back of my head? I have a terrible itch there, and if I do it myself I'd probably mess up whatever you're doing there.'

'Okay… this good?'

*~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**

Arwen's P.O.V.

I walked into our room. Estel said that Endomiel would be in here, but that I'd better not disturb her coz she'd probably be busy. Well, I wanted to know some things about what happened today and stuff like that. The bathroom door was closed, but not locked and inside I could hear Legolas talking. The shower was running.

'No, a little lower… a little to the left… a little more… yeah, that's the spot… yeah, that feels good…'

'You like that huh?' Endomiel said. What were they doing in there? They weren't… were they? If they were, she'd probably not want me to disturb her. Maybe that's what Estel meant with "she's busy"… Does that mean he already knew what they were going to do? How did he know that? Maybe Legolas told him… Maybe Legolas lured Endomiel in there so he could brag to his friends…

'Yeah, I like that.' And a few minutes later: 'While you're at it, could you do my back too?' WHAT? What were they doing? Maybe I should leave… but I want to know what they're doing… oh, the choices I have to make in life!

'Yeah, sure. Leg, your shirt's kind of in the way here, could you move it?'

'Sure.' Did she just ask him to take his shirt off? 'Auw! Auw auw! Stop that! That hurts!'

'Sorry…'

'That's okay, just be careful okay? Sensitive area…'

'Okay.'

'By the way, your shirt is in the way too.' Legolas said. Okay…

'Very funny Legolas.'

'It was worth a shot.'

'It was your third shot today.'

'My aim is off today.'

'So I noticed…' What does she mean by that? Did I miss something?

'Just wait, I'll get you…'

'You already got me.'

'Oh my god…' I said, a little to loud. Yep, most certainly time to leave now…

**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~*

Endomiel's P.O.V.

'No, a little lower… a little to the left… a little more… yeah, that's the spot… yeah, that feels good…' Legolas said as he leant back against my hand. Must have been a very annoying itch.

'You like that huh?' I said while I kept scratching.

'Yeah, I like that.' He grinned and closed his eyes. Yeah, he was enjoying this, while I was doing all the hard work, cleaning his hair out! 'While you're at it, could you do my back too?' Ah! He sure has the guts!

'Yeah, sure.' I said. I softly massaged his shoulders, plucking the blue stuff from his neck and back, for it had dripped onto his back from his hair when I heated it. Leg had tied his shirt around his waist, and when I tried to pull the stuff off his back, it was kind of in the way. 'Leg, your shirt is kind of in the way, could you move it?'

'Sure.' He loosened the shirt, and unwrapped it. I pulled it off his back. I guess the blue stuff really stuck to his skin, because he wasn't to happy when I did that… 'Auw! Auw auw! Stop that! That hurts!'

'Sorry…' I said.

'That's okay, just be careful okay? Sensitive area…' so his lower back is his sensitive area huh… must be ticklish there too… Hehehe…

'Okay.'

'By the way, your shirt is in the way too.' Legolas said. Okay…

'Very funny Legolas.'

'It was worth a shot.'

'It was your third shot.'

'My aim is off today.'

'So I noticed…' I smiled.

'Just wait, I'll get you…'

'You already got me.'

'Oh my god…' somebody outside of the bathroom said. It sounded like Arwen. Had she been listening the entire time? What did she think we were doing? *blink*blink* uh-oh… the shower was running, we were both in here… and the discussion we had this morning, about taking a shower… and the things we had been saying… pretty suggestive, I bet. The door of the room opened and closed, I think she left. (Mental note to self – talk to Arwen about bathroom-incident a.s.a.p.)

'Who was that?' Legolas asked.

'Arwen.'

'The whole school will know we're in here in no time.'

'I think she'll be able to keep this a secret. Besides, nothing's happening here.'

'Except for some making out…' Legolas said as he kissed me.

'They're in here!' Arwen said.

'Arwen, I'm sure there's nothing going on in there…' Estel opened the door and stepped in. 'See!' he turned around. There we were, Legolas only wearing his jeans, partially lying on top of me, both lying in the tub, because we had slid off the side, lying in a puddle of water, soaked, kissing… 'Oh my god…'

'I told you not to go in there…' Arwen whispered. Our faces flushed as Legolas got up from me and climbed out of the tub. I sat up and climbed out as well.

'We're sorry…' Estel said. 'We didn't mean to disturb you…'

'Disturb who?' Éomer said as Elvea and he showed up behind Arwen and Estel. Oh, good, even more spectators… Estel pointed at us. 'Ooh…' Éomer said as he gave Legolas thumbs up. Legolas stared at the floor.

'Okay people, I guess we have some explaining to do.' I said. 'Nothing happened. I was picking the blue stuff out of Leg's hair when I slipped and fell backwards into the tub. Trying to keep my balance, I grabbed Legolas's shoulders, but he fell too. Then you guys walked in. There's nothing going on, really.'

'Sure.' Estel said. 'You don't have to make excuses to us, we won't tell anybody. And we'll leave now, so you can continue… cleaning his hair.' He pushed the others out. 'Come on guys, let's give them some privacy…'

'They'd like that.' Éomer said. Guys… Legolas sat back down on the rim of the tub, and I sat behind him, just like we were sitting before they walked in. I looked into the mirror, I could see Legolas, his face was red as can be.

'What's wrong Legolas?'

'Nothing.'

'You're breathing's fast, your face is bright red, you're tapping your foot, you're obviously nervous.'

'No I'm not.'

'Why did Éomer give you thumbs up?'

'I don't know.'

'Are you sure?'

'No. I mean, yes.'

'What is it Legolas?'

'You make me nervous.'

'What does that have to do with it?'

'Well, Éomer, Estel, Boromir, Faramir, Elladan and Elrohir were hanging out the other day, and we were talking about girls and other guy stuff, and then the subject "girlfriends" came up, and Elladan asked how it was to have a girlfriend. Estel said it was great, Faramir said it had it's ups and down's, and I said it made me nervous.'

'I still don't get it…' I said. Why did I make him nervous? He wasn't afraid of me, was he? That couldn't be! I'm not mean or anything! At least, not to Legolas.

'Well, being around you, it makes me nervous, I want to be at my very best, and I'm afraid I'll make a fool out of myself, or out of you, or that you'll reject me.'

'Like this morning…' I said, while fingering a lump of blue stuff, staring at it.

'Yeah, kind of. I'm pretty insecure. You know, back home, everything I did was cool, everything I did was great, but that was all because I'm the prince. Here, if I do something stupid, people will just say "hey, don't act so stupid!". I'm not used to that you know, it makes me nervous.'

'I think I understand…'

'And around you, I'm as nervous as can be. I act cool, but that's all because if I don't I make a fool out of myself again. I don't really care what the other people think about me, I couldn't care less, but if I make a fool out of myself in front of you, or go to far, and you never want to see me again, I don't know what I'd do… Especially since you just do everything what you want to do, reckless, not caring about what other people think about you, I'd love to be like you.'

'You could never embarrass me Legolas. I've been through pretty embarrassing things, I don't think you could do anything worse.'

'Like a few minutes ago in the bathtub…'

'I've had much worse moments. Like when I stole my dad's pipe weed and smoked it all, but my lungs didn't take it that well and I couldn't talk anymore, and we had the première of the school play that afternoon, and I had one of the leads, and I had to go because otherwise my parents would find out I had been smoking all the pipe weed, and then I got up on stage and I couldn't say my lines…'

'Well, it could be worse…'

'The whole shire was there.'

'I guess not.' Legolas said. 'Well, anyway, Éomer said I should just act the way I wanted, because you liked me for who I was, and not for my title. He said that if I wanted to do something, and I thought that you uhm… wouldn't mind, I should just do it. You'd say something if you didn't want me to do that.'

'I guess you could see it like that…'

We sat there a while, not speaking, while I was plucking the blue stuff from his hair and back. After about another half an hour, I was done.

'I'm done Leg.' I said. 'Only your shirt and jeans are covered in the junk now.'

'Okay, thanks.' He got up and we walked out of the bathroom, through our room, to his room. It was still covered in blue stuff, and there was a crew there cleaning everything up and investigating.

'Did you find out what happened yet?' I asked one of the elves there.

'Yes.' He answered. 'It was a bomb, quite harmless, it works like a paint bomb, but instead it of paint it was filled with this blue glue.'

'Glue?' Legolas asked.

'Yes, very strong, blue super glue.'

'How long until it's all cleaned up?'

'At least until tomorrow afternoon. We're working our way through the room from the door on.'

'Oh. Can I get some clean clothes from my closet?'

'You're the kid that walked in and slipped huh?'

'Yeah…' Legolas's face flushed a bit.

'Well, the closets were all wide open when the bomb went off, so all the clothes were sent to our lab in the village to get the glue off.'

'Oh man…' Legolas sighed.

'Maybe your girlfriend here could lend you some.' He smiled. 'Well, it's back to work for me, good luck finding clothes.'

'Maybe you can borrow clothes from Estel or Boromir.' I said.

'We could try that…' Legolas said. He was now wearing his shirt and jeans, and moving wasn't easy, since the glue had all hardened and his clothes wouldn't bend anymore. We walked to the other guy's room. Boromir was inside.

'Hey Boromir.' I said.

'Hi Endomiel, Legolas.'

'Uhm, could I borrow some of your clothes?' Legolas asked.

'Why?' Legolas turned around. 'Oh, I see.' He walked over to his closet and threw Legolas a pair of jeans and a shirt.

'Thanks.' Legolas unbuttoned his jeans. 'Do you mind?' he said, nodding in the direction of the door.

'No, I don't mind.' I said, sitting down on one of the beds. Boromir laughed. 'Oh, you want me to… I get it…' I walked out of the room and closed the door behind me. I sat down, back against the door. I think I fell asleep, because a little while later somebody must have opened the door, but I didn't notice.

'Endomiel?' Legolas asked stepping out of the room. He fell over me, making me fall over causing him to step on my chest. 'Oh, I'm sorry…' he said as he stepped off. I'm lucky that he's an elf, now it only hurts a bit, I don't want to know how much it would have hurt if a human stepped on me…

'Ow…' I moaned. 'Thank you for the massage…' I sat up, rubbing my chest.

'Why did you go and sit against a door? You know we are supposed to enter and exit rooms through doors, right?'

'Yeah…' I got up. 'Of course I know that.'

'Good.' He put his arm around my shoulders. 'I didn't break anything, did I?'

'Not that I know of… as far as I know, my ribs are okay.'

'Never mind the ribs…'

'What did you say?'

'Nothing.'

'Right…' Right around now, it was dinnertime. We walked over to the mess, and sat down. 'Why are we sitting down?' I asked.

'Uhm… I don't really know.'

'Our food's not going to fly over to us! Stupid stupid stupid…' I said, whacking my head with my hand as I got up and walked over to the kitchen. We grabbed some food, don't ask what it was, I don't quite know, but it was something with potatoes, I think… Anyway, We grabbed some food and then we walked back to the table.

'Legolas, look out!' Vebor yelled. 'Or you might slip! It's so slippery here!' I guess everybody has heard the story of Legolas slipping over the glue, because they were all laughing. Legolas's face turned bright red yet again, this sure was a bad day to him…

'Shut up Vebor.' I said.

'Endomiel, I'd watch it if I were, you, or maybe he'll take you with him when he falls.'

'I don't care, I already fell for him, I don't mind to go down again.' I wrapped my arm around Legolas. Bad move… The tray fell from my hand, and in my effort to catch it, I knocked Legolas's tray from his hands. Both the trays of food plummeted to the ground. Everybody started to laugh. *sigh* That's really like me, trying to look cool, and then make a complete fool out of myself. 'See.' I whispered to Legolas. 'I make a fool out of myself all the time…' The cafeteria woman walked over with two rags and a bucket of water.

'It's cleaning time girl. You make a mess, you clean it up.' She said. She handed me the rags and put the bucket on the floor, and walked back to the kitchen. The people in the mess started to laugh even harder. I could see that the guys and all my other friends had all entered the room and gotten their food, so they'd probably seen the incident too. Oh well, they already know I'm clumsy, that's no news. I started to clean up the mess, when Legolas took the other rag and helped me. Together, we cleaned up the food. When we were done, we walked over to our table as fast as possible, making sure not to slip or drop anything. We sat down wit the others.

'What just happened?' Boromir asked.

'Vebor was making fun of Legolas, and I stuck up for him, but I forgot that I was carrying a tray of food and dropped it, and when I tried to catch it I knock Legolas's tray out of his hands, and it fell too.'

'And we had to clean it up.' Legolas added.

'Yeah, that too.' Boromir laughed. 'Stop laughing Boromir.' I said as I started to laugh as well. 'It's not funny…' we all started to laugh. 'Who am I kidding, it is funny…'

'You clumsy girl…' Legolas said.

'You clumsy guy.' I said. We ate our dinner and walked around outside, looking at the stars, trees, and whatever there is too see in and around a forest at night. Holding hands, we walked around a while. 'Look, Legolas, over there!' I said, pointing into the forest.

'What?' he turned around. I tackled him.

'Haha, got you!' I laughed as we rolled over the ground.

'No you haven't! I won't let you win!' he pushed me off him and reached for a long branch 'Hah! Died fiend, die!' He pointed the branch at me. I rolled over and grabbed a branch myself.

'Never!' I said, raising my "sword" above my head. We started a sword fight, again, right there, on the lawn. I was losing, when Elvea and Éomer walked by.

'Come here!' Legolas said as I ran to the other side of the lawn. 'I'll chop you into little pieces!'

'You'll have to catch me first!' I called to him.

'Just wait, I'll get you!' Elvea and Éomer looked at us for a while, obviously not getting what we were doing, then they walked along. Legolas chased me across the lawn for a while, then I made my way to the window in my room, hoping I'd be safe there. When I reached the window, I climbed in and hid under the desk. Legolas walked by the windows.

'I know you're around here somewhere Endomiel.' He said. 'I will find you, so come out and fight like a real warrior!' he turned around and saw the curtains moving because of the wind. The window to my room was open, while the others were closed. He walked over to the window of my room and climbed in. he leapt over my bed and landed in between Éowyn's bed and mine. He got up and looked around. He didn't see me. He walked to the door and opened it. I shot out of my hiding place, jumped on my bed and was about to jump out of the window when he tackled me. 'I knew you were under the desk.' He said as he put the tip of his branch against my neck.

'Alas, please spare this young damsel, for she surely is no match for a great warrior as yourself.' I said.

'I know, but still, it is her given right to finish this battle for life and death.'

'Is there anything she can do to save her puny life?'

'Indeed, yes. She should drop her sword this instant.' I dropped the stick.

'I did as you please, not let be, o great prince.' He grinned.

'These were not all my demands.' He said.

'So I thought.' He brought his face close to mine.

'I would like to know something from this damsel.'

'Ask what you like prince, I will answer your question.'

'Three questions I wish to ask.'

'Then choose wisely, for I will only answer one.'

'I guess the damsel is not to fond of her life…' he pressed the stick against my neck a bit harder. I swallowed.

'As you wish. I will grant you three questions, but no more.'

'Good.' He removed the branch from my neck and sat next to me on the bed. I sat up too.

'What is your first question, great prince of distant lands?'

'Well, fair lady, let me think, for this is a hard decision I must make.'

'Take your time, but I won't answer after sunrise tomorrow morning.'

'Alas! A time limit! I must hurry and make a good decision soon.' He sat there, staring at his feet, thinking. 'Am I a good kisser?' he asked. What kind of question is that? Does he really want me to answer that?

'Sir, I can not tell.' I said.

'Why not?' I smiled. 'Do you need an example?'

'I am sure that would help me in my judgement.' He kissed me. He ran his hand through my hair, while the other hand was on my waist. I shot backwards and grabbed the branch he had been holding against my throat a few minutes ago. I held it against his chest, exactly where his heart is. 'Never let your guard down, for it will get you killed, dear prince.' I said.

'So I have noticed…' he sighed.

'I guess I have won the battle.' I said.

'I guess so. Tell me, would you use this strategy while fighting against an orc?'

'If it would be my only way to survive, yes.' But that will never happen, for one, all orcs sever me, and for to, if I were to be trapped by a bunch of orcs, I'd make them all explode or something gruesome like that. 'But a mere orc will never get me trapped like this, unless he'd be as charming as you.'

'Yes, all ladies fall for my charms. It is all in a day's work.'

'One could say you have a nice job then.' I said.

'One could say that.'

'If one has a job so nice, why commit thyself to one other?' I asked.

'If that other is everything to you, you do crazy things.'

'Ah, yes, love is an crazy illness indeed.'

'You find love an illness?'

'A foul illness indeed. It crawls up when you're not looking, and before you know it, you're in its grasp and it is not likely that you will ever get out. Most of us do not mind, but sometimes it is not what you were counting on, and it doesn't completely fit in with the rest of your plans.'

'Do you love me?'

'Ah ah ah! This is your fourth question prince, I do not have to answer.' I grinned.

'What? My fourth question already? That can not be!'

'Tho it is so. You asked if you were a good kisser, if I would use my tactics on an orc, and if I thought of love as an illness.'

'You never answered my first question, my beloved lady, and I hereby give you the choice to answer either the first or the fourth question.'

'I never kiss and tell.' I said.

'Then the fourth question it is.' I kissed him, hoping he'd forget about the question. If I were to answer with yes, he'd explode, if I were to answer with no, he would be greatly disappointed in me… 'As hard as you try, you will not be able to bail yourself out of this question.'

'Legolas…' I said. 'I can't answer… I am sure we will come to a good price to buy my free.'

'It's a simple word Endomiel.'

'You can sat the bail as high as you want.' I said, trying to get myself out of this mess.

'No.'

'As high as you want Legolas, just imagine…' I kissed him as I pressed my body up against him and laid him on the bed. He didn't say anything for a while. 'As high as you want…'

'No.' He said. Well, I guess it's a good thing that he won't use me to get information, but I think I'd rather not answer the question… 'You have until sunrise.' He said as he got up and walked out of the room. 'Until we meat again.' He said as he walked out of the room. I laid there, face down, on the bed, thinking of how to get myself out of this. He didn't even fall for the "anything you want" thing… I couldn't think of anything else.

'Rough day huh?' Arwen said. I rolled over.

'Hm.'

'How are you doing?'

'Okay I guess.'

'I thought you'd be in here, I saw Legolas walk out a few minutes ago.' I didn't answer. 'What happened?' Again, no answer. 'Is anything wrong?'

'Nothing you can fix.'

'If he's…'

'It's not something he did either. It's my own fault.'

'Look…'

'I can't talk about it Arwen.' I said as I sat up. I walked to the bathroom and turned on the water and splashed some in my face.

'Okay. Well, I was looking for you, because there's a meeting for everybody from our class in five minutes, and my dad asked me to get everybody together. It's in his office.'

'Okay, I'll be there.'

'Okay.' She walked out again. 'If anything…'

'Thanks, but not now Arwen.'

'Okay…' About 4 minutes later, I got up and walked to Elrond's office. I knocked on the door and stepped in. Everybody was already there, and it had already started.

'Sorry I'm late.' I whispered.

'Sit down miss, you're going to be in here for a while. Legolas gestured me to sit next to me, as he made room on his chair. All chairs were taken, sever couples were already sharing a chair. I sat on the floor, on the opposite side of the room of where Legolas was sitting. I think everybody, including Elrond, was expecting me to sit with Legolas, because most of them looked like they didn't understand what was going on. 'As I was saying…' Elrond said. 'Somebody placed a glue bomb inside of one of the rooms. It is the room of Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Meriadoc Brandybuck, Peregrin Took, Éomer Éadig and Legolas Greenleaf. All their stuff has been covered in glue, for whoever put the bomb there, opened all the closets before it went off. My question to you was, if you had seen anybody from another class enter your private hallway, or come out of it.' Nobody had seen anyone. 'Then it must be somebody from this class. I ask for the one who did it to tell me this week, for if you turn yourself in, the punishment will be lightened. Keep in mind, that you may skip a class project and pass it with an "A" if you tell who did it.' Like anybody would rat on his or her friends. 'This is not rating, this is helping to solve a crime, for this paint bomb is a crime indeed.' This lecture when on like this for a while. Then, everybody could ask questions concerning the "bomb".

'Where do we sleep tonight?' Sam asked.

'Uhm…' Elrond said, obviously, nobody had thought about that yet. 'We are going to allow you to sleep in other rooms for tonight, and tonight only.'

'Does that mean I get to sleep on the girl's room tonight?' Legolas asked.

'No.' Elrond said.

'Why not?' Éomer asked.

'Because the girls wouldn't want that.'

'Who said that?' Rosie giggled. Elrond was stuck now.

'Well… if none of the girls mind, I guess you could sleep with them…'

'You will never fit enough spare beds into their room' Legolas said. 'We will have to share beds.' Elrond thought for a moment.

'I will arrange a supervisor.' He said after a while. I could hear the guys softly curse under their breath. After that was settled, we could all leave.

'I hope you don't mind me staying with you?' Legolas suddenly asked, standing behind me. I spun around as fast as I could.

'Don't creep up on me like that.' I said. 'You scared me.'

'Sorry…' He said. 'But, you don't mind right?'

'Hm.' I said. 'I guess not.' I don't want to ruin it for the others, Rosie in general, they seemed to like Legolas's idea.

'You sound enthusiastic.'

'I am.'

'Nothing to worry.' He said. 'Nothing will happen, I promise.'

'That's not what I'm worried about.' I said, slightly glancing up. This is not what I asked for! I thought as loud as I could. Don't kill him for this, he doesn't know better!

It was now about ten thirty, and everybody was… eager, to get to bed. We, all the girls, got into the bathroom and changed.

'I can't believe they'd let us do this…' Arwen said.

'Neither can I!' Rosie said. 'I bet I'll sleep extra good tonight, don't you think so, Endomiel?' My face flushed.

'Uhm, no, not really.'

'Is it that you don't like Legolas's idea, or is it… something else?'

'I don't like his idea.' I answered, a bit to quickly. I put on my sweatpants and shirt.

'You never sleep with pants on…' Arwen said.

'I do now.'

'High expectations huh?'

'No, I don't want to get the supervisor mad before we even get into the bed.'

'Who is the supervisor tonight anyway?'

'I don't know.' I said. Then, somebody knocked on the door of our room.

'Is everybody decent in there?' A familiar voice asked.

'It's Glorfindel…' Eleanor sighed. Oh no… not Glorfin-geek… When we were all changed, we stepped out of the bathroom. The guys were mostly changed too. Estel still had to put his shirt on, but that wasn't anything I hadn't seen before. I threw my clothes onto the big pile of clothes that had already developed there, I think it's time to throw some things in the wash soon… Legolas was folding his clothes and he put them on the floor next to our bed in a nice pile. Hello Mr. Neat…we all got into our beds and then Glorfindel turned off the lights. It didn't quite fit, two people in a one-person's bed, but it wasn't un-comfortable. We laid close to each other, Legolas had wrapped his arms around my waist and was kissing the base of my neck.

'Don't Leg…' I whispered.

'Sorry… I can't help it…'

'Get a grip.'

'I have a grip…' He tightened his arms around my waist. My breathing quickened. 'Nothing to worry about.' He whispered. 'Just kidding around here.'

'It's okay.' I whispered back. It wasn't the fact that he touched me that worried me, or actually, it was…

'Have you been thinking about the answer to my fourth question lately, beloved one?' he asked after a while of complete silence. My muscles tensed. I turned around.

'Yes I have, sire, and have not yet come to an answer.' I said.

'It can't possibly be that hard.' He said. 'I ask of you one simple answer, milady.'

'My offer still stands…' trying to buy it of was still my only idea… how else to convince a guy? I kissed him.

'One simple word…' He whispered in between kisses.

'I can't say it…' I whispered back.

'*One* word…'

'No.'

'Is that your answer?'

'Stop it Leg…'

'Is that your answer?' I didn't say anything. 'Is it?' He said, so soft I could barely hear him.

'Decide for yourself…' I said as I kissed him softly. This way, he might think I do, but I never said I did. On the other side of the room, I could softly hear something. It sounded like one of the couples in this room was doing something, and that couple wasn't Leg and I…

'Elvea and Éomer, stop that this instant.' Glorfindel said. The sound stopped. If they want to keep "it" a secret, they had better cut that out… I was distracted from what was happening in the rest of the room by Legolas's hand witch crept up my back. I moved a little.

'I have to move my arm.' He said.

'Hm.' I said.

'I hope you don't mind…'

'Hm.' I closed my eyes. That way, I couldn't sleep, but I could rest. I couldn't sleep anyway, because if I kept my eyes open, I kept looking at Legolas. Then I remembered something from earlier today. He said he wasn't ticklish, this was my chance to test that. I put my arm around his shoulders, and slowly moved my hand down. When I came just above the base of his spine, I started to make little circles with my fingers. Legolas's breathing quickened, started to shock a bit, when my finger went down.

'What's wrong Legolas?' I asked on a mocking tone. 'Ticklish?'

'N… no…' He whispered.

'Are you sure?' I said. I kept moving my fingers around. He rolled onto his back. I pulled my hand back.

'Yes.' Legolas said. I laid on his chest, now ready to go to sleep. When I was dozing off, Legolas said something. 'You still have to walk the dog.' He said.

'Ah man…' I got up out of bed.

'Endomiel, where are you going?' Éowyn asked. I thought for a moment. Wait a minute…

'We don't even have a dog!' I said. Legolas started to laugh.

'What is going on with you two?' Éomer asked.

'Nothing.' I said.

'Endy isn't that bright at night…' Legolas laughed.

'Shut up and go to sleep Legolas.' I said as I climbed back into the bed. I laid down with my back to him.

'Come on Endy, don't be cranky, it was just a joke…' He wrapped his arm around my waist again. 'Just a joke…'

'Very funny.' I sighed.

'Would you two shut up?' Éowyn asked. 'And Éomer, stop that will you? It's too gross… I don't want to see my brother doing that while I'm laying in bed.'

'Then look the other way.' Éomer said.

'They're even worse.' She sighed.

'All of you stop it.' Glorfindel said, very irritated.

'Sorry…' Legolas and I said at the same time.

'Go to sleep already.'

Right after that I fell asleep. I slept very well, and I slept long too. I woke up around quarter to 8. I woke up, rolled over and then saw Legolas.

'Ah!' I yelled as I rolled over and fell out of bed.

'Good morning to you too…' Legolas grumbled.

'Why so grouchy?'

'Maybe, just an idea, because when you woke up and saw me you yelped and fell out of bed.'

'Is that all?'

'No. Remind me to never sleep with you again.' Arwen laughed.

'I'm sorry...' She said. 'But that came out quite funny.' She laughed again. 'Never sleep with her again… What a joke…' She mumbled.

'Why never lay in the same bed with me again?' I said, glaring at Arwen.

'Because you can't lay still. The whole night long, you were kicking, tossing, rolling on top of me, and off again. Very, very annoying.'

'I did that?'

'Yeah…'

'I'm sorry…'

'Never mind.' He got up out of bed. 'Where do you put your towels?'

'In the closet, over there.' I said. Legolas grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom. A few minutes later the shower went on. Arwen had just left, and I grabbed my diary. And I'm still writing now. The shower just stopped, so I have to stop writing now, before Leg walks out.

Namarië!

E/N: and did you like? I'm sorry it took me so long to update, I promises it won't take me over three weeks to write the next chapter! If Elvea hurries, I can start writing soon. I painted my hair the other day, now it's white/blond with a blue streak running over my head from front to back. The head-scratching scene actually happened, two friend of mine, Marleen and Liselot, painted my hair blonde but the stuff was extremely aggressive and it hurt like hell and they had to keep on scratching my head because if they didn't do that I would scream it out from pain. When the paint was working in, Marleen massaged my back and shoulders. I waterpoloed the day before, and lets just say the guys weren't gentle with my arms, and my muscles were all stretched and twisted and stiff, and the worst part, they hurt like hell… but I'm better now :o) and I'll keep writing as fast as I can, Elvea, Majin Aussy, Scarlet and Arezo will take care of that…
