Disclaimer: I own Peridot Mist, Dew, Amy, and Kaci, and all the horses, and the plot. Everything else is Tolkien's.

A/N: Hey, so glad to be back! I've posted two other stories, "Crazy Ideas" and "LOTR in the Fourth Grade". Enjoy! Also, we're doing a play, "Something's Rotten in Denmark", which is a ridiculously funny parody about Hamlet. And I, a female, get to play Hamlet! Alright! I get to kill my friend and she gets to kill me (in the play, of course) Walter- O_o, and I get to die off and come back to life some four times! Go me! Wish me luck...

Hall of Fame (which I messed up on in the past): Shiaka, Rayne Maker, Chima, Peridot, CCC, and Amin Mella. I apologize severly for the delay, especially to Amin Mella(thankx!) and Rayne Maker(hi!), who are so far my only completely faithful readers/reviewers. Yeah. Now, go congratulate them! Thank you sooo much, please continue to review!!! Also, Amin Mella, I am not quite sure if Peridot means anything... All I know is that it is also the name of a real pretty apple green jewel; I think it's now October's birthstone or something like that. Seeings how you asked, if you come up with anything, I will use it.Thanks for bringing it up!

Peridot wasn't very worried about the threat; she was, after all, half asleep when she heard it. And besides, who could hurt her when Legolas was around? (A/N: Oh, how foolish she is... why am I doing this to her? Why don't I make her realize... "when he was around..." oh, no, too terrible...)
Peridot, Erianwen (A/N: I gotta think up a nickname for her, typing it every time is tough...), and Legolas were walking around, trying to find yet another dusty old library, when they heard the horn blow for company. 'Oh, no, I hope it's not that cart again,' Peridot thought. It wasn't though. It was worse.
It was a familiar she-elf, one with long raven-black hair that was slightly scraggly from the trek. Her eyes fumed a neon (A/N: just kidding, 'bright') hazel. Suddenly her face grew grim as she caught sight of Peridot. She glared. 'Yeah, well, right back at ya, creep.' It was Amy, the so-called best friend of the past. Erianwen, who was almost in the way of the daggers flying betwixt them (A/N: Like the word choice?), pulled Peridot away from the small crowd. Not before Amy could get in a good punch though.
Legolas gave Peridot a confused look. "That's Amy," she growled. "If there was any doubt in my mind that she's an evil elf-" "There's no such thing as an evil elf." "Whatever. If there was such thing as an evil elf, she would be it." (A/N: Oh, if only she knew-wait, if only YOU knew. Mwahahahaha! I love being an author!)
Yet another party. The scene would be even better, at least in the eyes of our main character, if she could dash over and slit Amy's throat without anyone noticing. Kind of like some Shakespere thing.(A/N: In case you were wondering, I did not get this from a life experience. I have no iris daggers prepared for anyone, nor do I 'strongly dislike' anyone enough to want to hurt them. This is just for dramatic effect for my boring story. Please continue sleeping...I mean, reading...)
Unfortunately, Amy was planning something that would destroy Peridot from the heart-from the inside out, without ever having to touch her. Peridot first began to notice something odd about her former friend at this particular party (A/N: I know-sounds all Sherlock Holmes-y, doesn't it?).
The party began at noon and lasted well into the night. The elven guests dropped off when they were tired. Amy glanced at Legolas a lot, checking him out from across the room. Only a few hours into the afternoon, Peridot, Legolas and Erianwen were seated around a small table sipping a sweet drink that reminded Peridot of orange soda.
Amy walked by, and Peridot didn't hesitate to use her toe to trip her foe. Amy gave a rather whimpy cry, twisted around, and landed on Legolas. Peridot's eyes flashed (A/N: Funny, didn't she start it?), Erianwen held Peridot back, and Legolas nervously helped Amy up as she flailed about and pretended to be heavy and fall back.
Peridot was mad that Erianwen held her back, and furious at Amy. 'I would have shoved her off, stomping on her a few times for good measure. How dare she? She has absolutely no right to even come near me, and especially Legolas! If she so much as thinks about him I'll...' She went on creating evil plots in her head to shred Amy to pieces.

Peridot and Legolas had gone off into the woods, laughing and talking. They stopped at a stone bench carved wih beautiful curves and other designs. Peridot was in the middle of explaining a hilarious play she acted out back "home", when Amy came tearing through the trees. She looked around and said, "Lord Elrond wants you, Dawn! He said it was a matter of great importance, and he wants just you to come!" Peridot gave Legolas a goodbye kiss and was off without question.
Legolas stood up and was about to leave when Amy asked, "So...you're the Prince of Mirkwood, right?" He turned and nodded. He couldn't be rude an leave the lady talking to herself, but he refused to sit down. "And... are you good at the whole bow & arrow thing?" He paused, then nodded slowly. "Could you teach me?" He answered carefully, "It is very difficult... I have been teaching Peridot lately...and I cannot work with both of you." "Oh..." she looked disappointed, but Legolas still didn't trust her after what Peridot had said.
A few moments of awkward silence followed. He turned to leave but she stood up and placed her hand on his arm firmly. He winced; she wasn't hurting him, but it was a dishonest touch. "Legolas...," she began. But she heard footsteps. Assuming it was Peridot, she did something she would not have done on Earth (A/N: because they were friends then).
Amy forced Legolas into a deep, rushed, and bitter kiss just as Peridot came into the clearing.
