A/N: Well, I did not get many reviews yet but I hope that they will keep
coming!
Legolas was stunned. Never had anyone dared to stick anything into his face! He jumped up and ran toward the archery fields. He saw Rhiannon and Elihor chatting merrily. He ran up to them and shouted, "Where is Beth?"
Rhiannon and Elihor jumped back and looked at him in surprise. Rhiannon quickly covered her mouth to hide her laughter. Elihor looked at Legolas with a What-did-you-do? look. Rhiannon quickly answered, "I do not know where she is. She hasn't come by yet."
Legolas growled then ran to his room. On the way, he bumped into Naleese, making them both fly onto the ground. Unfortunately, some of the pie on Legolas' face landed on Naleese's dress. "Ugh, you imbecile! Watch where you are going! You ruined my best dress!" She stood up then realized who she was talking to. "Prince Legolas! I am sorry! I thought you were someone else! Please forgive me!" she said before starting flutter her eyelashes.
Legolas was not in the mood for her so he quickly brushed her aside and hurried to his room. Naleese, angry that she did not receive the attention she wanted, grunted in disgust.
As soon as Legolas was in his room, he cleaned himself up. As he sat in the bathtub, he replayed his conversation with Beth in his head. 'What does she mean Rhiannon doesn't love me?' he thought. One side of his head said, 'Let her be. She just wants to be friends, nothing more.' The other side said, 'Do you not remember what Eli said? Go after her. Woe her!'
Legolas sighed and sank deeper into the water. Then another thought came to his head. 'Why did Beth get so angry when I said, "You have never felt real love"?' **************************************************************************** ************** As soon as Legolas left the archery ranges, Rhiannon quickly bid farewell to Elihor and ran toward Beth's room. On the way, she knocked into Naleese.
"Hey watch it! What is it with everyone running around today?" she said, angrily.
"I am sorry, Naleese. I did not see you. I must leave now. Good day," she said hurriedly.
Naleese grumbled as she watched Rhiannon's retreating form.
Rhiannon burst into Beth's room without knocking. "Beth, what did you do to Legolas?" she panted between gasps.
Beth looked up from the book she was casually reading at the time. "Why, what do you mean by that?" she asked coolly.
Rhiannon frowned. "You know very well what I mean. Why did Legolas have pie all over his face and why was he anxious to find you?" she said.
Beth sighed. "Oh, that. Legolas said that I had no idea what true love was. How can he assume that? He doesn't even know me!" she yelled bitterly, remembering every word in that conversation in the kitchen.
Rhiannon sighed. "Oh, Eru! What did you say to him before that? Why would he say that? I know him well, and I know he will not just come right out with that!"
Beth bowed her head then looked up. "I kind of told him that you did not love him and to leave you alone," she answered meekly.
Rhiannon groaned. 'This is just what I need,' she thought. "Beth you must keep your tongue still!" She looked at Beth who looked ashamed. "Beth, I must punish you. You know that, right?"
Beth looked up. "What? Why should you punish me? I am not your child!" she said in astonishment.
"Yes, well it is my business. Okay, you must go to Legolas and apologize. I believe he is in his room right now," Rhiannon proposed.
Beth groaned. "Do I have to?" Beth asked.
"Yes, you do. You owe me," Rhiannon folded her arms across her chest.
"All right. But what do you what me to say? 'Hey, Legolas! I'm sorry that I said Rhiannon does not love you even though it is the truth!'?"
Rhiannon shook her head. "No, leave that part out. Just say, 'Legolas, I am sorry that I threw the pie into your face. You did not deserve that no matter what you did.'"
Beth sighed. "All right. I'll go after lunch," she said, hopeful that Rhiannon might forget about it after lunch.
Rhiannon shook her head again. "No, you go now," she said sternly.
Beth nodded her head in agreement and started out the door. "Just a minute," Rhiannon said. Beth turned around. "I will walk you to his door and make sure that you go in," Rhiannon said.
Beth sighed. It seems like Rhiannon knew exactly what she had in mind. The two walked through the halls silently. Finally they reached the oaken door to the prince's room.
Rhiannon turned to Beth and said, "All right. Remember what to say?" Beth nodded. "Then, in you go!" and opened the door to push Beth inside.
Beth opened her mouth to protest but turned around to face the oaken door again. She sighed then turned back around to look at the prince's room. 'It's beautiful,' she breathed as she looked around the well-furnished bedroom.
She looked at the huge bed. 'Looks like it can sleep two people!' she thought to herself. 'It's supposed to fit two people!' she snapped at herself.
She shook her head then stood on the balcony. The view was breathtaking. She saw the small villages and the little children elves playing their games. She looked at the beautiful forest and the beautiful flowers. She sighed. 'I could sit here all day,' she thought dreamily.
Then, the prince's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "Elysia?" he called from somewhere. She went back into the room, trying to find the source of the voice. "Elysia?" it called again. She heard a sigh and a splash of water. Then the door at her right opened.
There stood the Prince dripping wet with nothing but a towel wrapped around his torso. Beth's hands quickly flew to her eyes. "I'm sorry!" was all she could say.
The prince eyed her angrily and asked, "What are you doing here in my room without knocking?"
Beth, still hiding her eyes behind her hands, answered, "I was pushed in here. I have come to apologize."
The prince stared at her haughtily. "And you say that you do not like me?" he asked suspiciously.
Beth's hands dropped in surprise. Her mouth dropped open into an 'O'. "What are you talking about? I merely come here to apologize and you accuse me of wanting to catch you naked, is that what you mean?"
The prince rolled his eyes. "Whatever," he said.
He went to the drawers then turned back to Beth. "I suggest you turn around so I can change in private."
Beth obliged without question. While her back was turned to him, he took off the towel and started dressing. Beth broke the silence and said, "I am very sorry for throwing that pie in your face. I know that you did not deserve it no matter how much you infuriated me. It is my fault. I hope you can accept my humble apology," she recited.
The prince finished dressing and said, "You can turn around now." Beth turned around.
The prince said, "It seems as if you are reciting it. You had no feeling in your voice as you said it."
Beth glared at him. "So what if I am?"
"I just think that 'humble' means sincerest. And you did not sound sincere to me."
Beth was becoming anxious now. She wanted Rhiannon to forgive her so she had to make Legolas accept her 'apology'. She quickly walked up to Legolas and whispered in his ear so Rhiannon, who was probably at the door listening, would not hear. "Listen, princey. You must accept my apology. I will do anything. Just say 'Apology accepted' please!"
Legolas turned around so that his lips were just a few inches apart from Beth's. A plan formed in his mind. "All right, I will accept. If you promise me this: You will let me escort you to the next 5 balls," he whispered.
Beth's eyes grew wide and stepped back. "What are you insane? I will not promise that!" she whispered defiantly as she crossed her arms across her chest.
"Fine, then I don't accept your apology," Legolas said coolly as he repeated her actions.
Beth sighed. "All right, I promise. Please, just say it!"
"I accept your apology," he said a bit too loud.
Beth sighed in relief. Without thinking she went up to him and put her arms around his neck. "You are my savior!" she cried then pecked his cheek lightly. Then, she scrambled out of the room.
Legolas shook his head. He heard hushed voices on the other side of his door and recognized one of them to be Rhiannon's. Legolas smiled as he thought of Rhiannon. But, mysteriously, another face floated into his mind. Beth's. Legolas shook himself as he prepared to go down for lunch.
A/N: Well, that's it for now. Yes, I know it is short. I'm sorry. I'll try to make up for it!
Legolas was stunned. Never had anyone dared to stick anything into his face! He jumped up and ran toward the archery fields. He saw Rhiannon and Elihor chatting merrily. He ran up to them and shouted, "Where is Beth?"
