A/N: I decided to write a new story. However, I will still be writing "Ally". I just need another way to spend my extra time. Disclaimer: I only own Katylyn for now. However, later in the story, I will own someone else.

Rhiannon looked around. She crept on the forest floor, looking this way and that. 'I hope he doesn't find me,' she thought. Finally, she reached a clearing and stopped walking and looked around. 'I don't think he can find me now,' she thought triumphantly.

Suddenly, from her left, a body hurled itself onto her. She gave a yelp of surprise and fell on her back with someone on top of her.

"Ah!" she screamed with delight when she found out that her friend Legolas had found her in the game of hide and seek.

"Ha! Did you really think I couldn't find you, Rhia? Your footsteps echoed through the forest!" he said as he picked himself up.

Rhiannon dusted her dress as she stood up herself. "Well, Legolas, you might have won this round, but I assure you, you will not win again!" she shook a finger at him.

"Lady Rhia! Prince Legolas!" a voice called through the forest. Both elves looked up to see Rhiannon's handmaid Kaylyn rushing through the dense forest and reaching the clearing. "Oh, I'm so glad I have found you, milady," she gasped as she slowed to a stop. "By the way, my prince, your father would like a few words with you in his study, if you do not mind," she added, looking at Legolas.

"I shall be on my way. Good day, Lady Rhiannon," he said and kissed Rhiannon's hand, eyes twinkling with merriment. With a quick bow to Kaylyn, he made his way back to the palace.

Rhiannon stared after his retreating form. "Milady, are you alright?" Kaylyn asked, her voice full of concern but her eyes watched in amusement.

"Hmm? Oh, I am fine," Rhiannon said absentmindedly.

Kaylyn shook her head. "Milady, you and the prince are too old to be rolling around here in the forest. You are almost 3, 500 years old while the prince just celebrated his 3,000th birthday. And yet the two of you are found wandering and laughing in the forest like a couple of 20 year olds!"

Rhiannon fingered her hair warily. "Kaylyn, we have been friends since we were 3 years old. Not many friendships last as long as ours. Besides, I heard Father talk about my marriage and Legolas speaks of his. We want some more time together before we go our separate ways."

At this, Kaylyn looked at her charge with amusement. "Oh? I heard your father and the king talk about your marriage arrangements also. It seems that they are thinking about wedding you to the prince himself!"

Rhiannon snapped her head up to this. "Impossible! Why would they think of doing something like that?"

Kaylyn shrugged her shoulders. "It is not my place to wonder about something like that. Although. you and the prince spend an awful amount of time together. I had a talk with the prince's maid and found that many rumors are that you do more than just talk and play with the prince on your daily walks through the forest," Kaylyn added wickedly.

Rhiannon looked at Kaylyn sharply. "We do nothing but talk and play," she insisted. "I do not know what goes on in the minds of others in the palace but never mind what they say. Legolas and I are just friends, and nothing more." Rhiannon changed the subject. "Now, what is it that you wanted me for?"

Kaylyn suddenly remembered. "Oh! There is a big feast tonight and you are to dress your best! Oh, come, come! We must hurry and get you prepared," she cried in distress, grabbing Rhiannon and pulling her towards the palace.

Rhiannon sighed and shook her head, then followed the troubled maid back to the palace.
