A/N: Yea! I got reviews! to Pheonixqueen- I'm soo glad you like it! The
reason she sees pink until she meets someone is she has to get to know
them. It's kind of like when you first meet someone and then ya'll start
hanging out slowly you learn things that make them stand out in your mind.
Am I making sense? I'm thrilled your adding me to your Fav. List. I have
ideas for other fics so hopefully I won't disappear. To Lady Katanya -I
never heard of a neice going either. It is usally a Mary Sue like character
who is ment to save the world. I'm trying to keep Serenity unMary Sueish
but if I slip and she turn Mary Sueish let me know! To Figure- I plan to
follow through ROTK so I will keep up the work. Hopefully you will continue
to enjoy it!

The Fellowship had entered to woods of Lothlorien after leaving the Mines and were taken captive by the elves that inhabited those woods. They were now on a platform high in the trees trying to be allowed to continue their journey through the woods. Legolas was talking to the head elf, Haldir, trying to convince the him that they were not trying to bring evil into the woods. Serenity was sitting down resting on a tree branch watching the two elves speak. She did not know elvish and had no clue what was being said but she needed something to take her mind off of what happened. When she got bored with watching them she looked around her. The rest of the Fellowship was looking at Frodo like they were scared of him. Serenity looked at Frodo too not with fear, but with motherly affection. The hobbit looked so scared and hurt, he blamed himself for Gandalf's death. Serenity stood up, walked over to Frodo, and sat down next to him. He looked at her with such sadness she felt her heart breaking. She placed an arm around his shoulder and stroked his cheek with her thumb like her mother use to do when she was sad. The two said nothing but the others looked over in shame. Here was someone who barely knew Frodo and was comforting him when his own life long friends could not.
Finally Legolas turned to the group. "Their taking us to the Lady of the Woods." He reached over and helped Sam up. The others who had been sitting got up too and the made their way down the platform to the ground. Once they started to walk Serenity felt a small hand grab hers. She didn't have to look to see who it was, she gave Frodo's hand a gentle squeeze and walked with him in silence. After what seemed like hours they reached the glass tower where the Lady was to be found.
What she spoke of Serenity did not know. She was tired and wanted to sleep. She was starting to think again of how she failed to save Gandalf when she heard a voice in her head. "Princess, you have not failed. You know not what part you will play in the future." Serenity stared at her. She did not like this elf taking a stroll through her head. Her mind was hers and hers alone. She turned and left the tower. No one tried to stop her. She did not need someone making her even more confused than she was. Suddenly an older she-elf appeared.
"Hello my Lady. My name is Saladril and The Lady has choosen me to aid you while you are here." She explained as she took Serenity's hand and led her up another tower.
"Wait. Aid me? How? I need no aid." Serenity tried to pull her hand free but the Saladril had a tight grip on it. They had entered a room that had a bathtub filled with steaming water, a large bed, and a nightdress laid out on a chair in front of a mirror. Before Serenity could ask what was going on the she-elf had stripped her and placed her in the tub.
"Now, now. Just relax and soak in the water. You need a bath and to rest." she told Serenity as she began to wash her hair. Serenity was going to protest but it felt so good to have someone washing her hair that she just sighed and gave in. "There you go. Things are much simpler when you don't fight it." After about twenty minutes and a full body massage later Serenity was sitting in front of the mirror in the nightdress while Sal, as she wanted Serenity to call her, began to braid her hair into many small braids. During the bath Sal informed Serenity that the Lady knew she would react the way she did with the mind talking stuff and sent Sal to take care of her. Once she finshed the braids she led Serenity to the bed.
"Wait! Where are the guys? I should be with them." Serenity said trying to head to the door. Sal blocked her path.
"Absolutly not! You are a lady. You do not sleep on the ground with the guys. It's not proper." She pushed Serenity back on the bed and began to tuck her in.
"I'm not proper. Now let me go to them." She said trying to get up. She was arguing and about to lose her temper when Sal beat her to it.
"Your HIGHNESS you will not sleep out there with them and that is final!" Serenity stared in shock.
"What did you call me?" she asked quietly.
"Your highness. Your a princess and will act like one."
"I'm not a princess. Aragorn is not King and his daughters will be princesses, not me."
"I never said you were a princess because of Aragorn. There are other ways to be a princess you know. Now go to bed." She turned and headed to the door. Something clicked in Serenity's head.
"Galadriel called me Princess earlier. They say she can see the future, is that true?" Sal simply said, "Perhaps" and left the room. Other ways to be a princess...what did she mean? Serenity wondered as she slowly drifted to sleep.

Serenity awoke to sun shining through the window at the foot of her bed.
"Good morning Princess. Did you sleep well?" Sal asked as she laid out a lavender dress for Serenity to wear.
"Yes. Don't call me Princess." Serenity mumbled sitting up with her feet dangling over the side of the bed.
"I will call you whatever I wish. Maybe if you hear Princess enough you will start to act like one." Sal pulled Serenity to her feet and took off her nightdress. She put the lavender dress on and sat Serenity down in front of the mirror. She undid all the braids, which cause her hair to become curly and pulled back two side sections of Serenity's hair and secured them with lavender jewled clips then left a trindel down to frame each side of her face. Finally she placed a lavender jewel hanging from a silver chain across her forhead like a crown. "There!" sal said stepping back to admire her work. "You look like the beautiful princess your are ment to become." Serenity had to admit she did look beautiful. "Now let's go eat."
The two headed down the tower and came to a clearing where tables were set up for everyone to eat. Everyone turned and stared when Serenity walked up. She blushed and started to fidgit with the waistline of her dress.
'Serenity you look beautiful." Aragorn said kissing his niece's cheek. Boromir nodded in agreement.
"Thank you." She turned to Leoglas.
"Never before have I seen such beauty and grace. My lady would you do me the great honor of sitting beside me during breakfast?" He pulled out the chair next to his and she bowed then sat. All through the meal he kept glancing at her through the cornor of his eyes with a smile on his face. After the had finished eating he asked to take a walk with her.
The were walking taking in the beauty that surrounded them when they came to a stream. Legolas turned to Serenity and brushed his thumb across her lips. This sent a shiver down her spine. She saw him lean towards her and she closed her eyes. His lips gently grazed her's then locked on with a passion she had never known. Her knees started to shake and his arms wrapped around her to support her. Her mind raced as did her heart, but time stood still. All there was in the world was him and her nothing else mattered. Finally the two broke away.
"I love you Serenity." Legolas said still wrapping his arms around her.
"I love you too, Legolas." She didn't care what part she played in the future as long as he was part of that future.
"When we finish with this quest will you do something for me?" Legolas asked reaching behind his neck and removing the necklace he wore.
"Sure anything."
"Marry me. I have never loved anyone the way I love you. I want my life to be your life."
"Marry you? But how? Your an elf and I'm a human. Your immortal." She took a step back.
Legolas removed the small silver ring from the chain. "This was my mothers ring. I chose to be mortal and live my life with you and to die with you." He slipped the ring on her left ring finger. It was silver with a heart that reflected every color of the rainbow. "If nothing else good comes from this journey then I want it to be our love. Please say you will marry me."
Serenity looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Yes. I will marry you. I would follow you to the ends of the earth. I want my life to be your life too." They kissed again. Serenity knew from that moment on that Legolas would be the last person she would ever kiss for as long as she lives.
