Song For None
~
Elrond was telling Estel to go and find some other elfes to play with while he taught his lessons to the students. Estel was just about to make an argument as Legolas walked in followed closely by Elladan and Elrohir.
"You really need to start talking around the girls. They are going to start thinking you can't talk or something!" Legolas nodded to Elrond and rustled Estel's hair as he exited the room.
"I know but I just don't know what to say in front of them!" Elrohir took a seat near Elrond.
"Good afternoon boys. Have you seen any of the girls?" Elrond sat at the front of the circle. They were all seated outside in an area surrounded by beautiful trees full of blooming flowers.
"Nuquer was with us this morning practicing archery." Elladan got a slightly far off look in his eyes when he said this.
"Well it's nice to know she has a interest in elfin finer arts." Elrond had just said this when all three of the girls showed up.
"Are we late? Did we miss anything?!" Maik immediately started to get a little stressed about missing something. She had paper and ink to write with piled in her arms. She sat in the seat closest to Elrond.
"Excuse her, she gets a little stressed out when it comes to learning." Nuquer sat down next to Legolas and Ven sat next to her.
"Well then let's begin our lesson." Elrond started telling the six about their intricate elfin history.

A few hours later the lesson was over and Elrond dismissed them all telling them he'd see them later at dinner.
"It's really hott out today!" Nuquer fanned her face with her hand.
"You're always hot Nuquer! Don't start complaining now, you'll never stop!" Maik set her papers down on the railing.
"I know a great way to cool down." Elladan leaned on the rail next to Nuquer.
"Hey you, we are not taking our clothes off!" Legolas gave Elladan and joking look of horror.
"It's hot enough to! But what's your idea?" Nuquer tried to secretly study Legolas delicate features while Elladan explained.
"We could all go down to my secret pond. Only Elrohir and I know where it is." Elladan noticed Nuquer looking at Legolas and felt a little pang of jealousy in him.
"I'm in." Nuquer was quick to answer.
"Me too." Maik and Ven both agreed to go.
"Count me in too." Legolas caught Nuquer looking at him and smiled.
"I'll go too." Elrohir finally spoke in front of the girls.
"Come on then, let's go before Estel wants to join us." Elladan lead the group down to the pond and they all looked at the little waterfall filling the medium sized water. The water had little ripples illuminating the water and it looked absolutely inviting.
"I don't know what you guys are waiting for but I'm getting in!" Nuquer slipped of her soft slippers and her over robe. Elladan couldn't help but stare at Nuquer when she dropped her over robe onto the ground. All she was wearing now was a light red colored under robe.
She tied her hair back with a small piece of ribbon and walked into the water.
"I'm getting in too." Legolas also slipped of his shoes and his tunic. He climbed a nearby tree with much grace and jumped into the water. The water splashed both Ven and Maik who were standing near the edge of the water.
Soon Elladan, Elrohir, Maik, and Ven were all out of the their over clothes and in the water.

Elrond was sitting in his room going over some important papers when he heard the giddy laughter of young elfes coming from the pond his two sons thought only they knew about. He smiled to himself and tried to concentrate on his work. Slowly his mind drifted to the summer he had spent learning about elfin history and origins. He learned more about himself that summer than history and that was also when he meet his first love. He hoped that his sons and their friends' summer would be as memorable as his was.

At the pond the young elfes were growing exhausted from their play. Ven had given up in the game of under water tag and collapsed in the soft grass at the side of the pond. Elrohir noticed her watching the rest of them play and thought it would be a good time to try to talk to her. He had thought she was pretty from the first time he saw her but never had the courage to talk to her.
He sat on the grass next to her.
"You tired too?" Ven looked over and Elrohir, "Your Elrohir right?"
Elrohir was surprised that she knew his name and quite pleased.
"Yes."
"That's good. I thought I could tell you and your brother apart." Ven rung out her wet hair.
"I'm glad you can tell us apart. It gets very annoying being called by your brother's name. Unless they are accusing him of something I did." Elrohir found that it wasn't so hard to talk to one girl alone as opposed to many girls and in front of other people.
Ven laughed at Elrohir and smiled. She had never really noticed how cute he was up close.
"Why are you so quiet all the time?" Ven had to know.
"I get shy in front of a lot of people, especially pretty girls. That's why I haven't talked to you before." Elrohir couldn't believe he had said that but it was too late to take it back.
Ven blushed a little and was unsure of what to say.
"I know how you feel. I get shy a lot too." Ven and Elrohir were just starting to get into their conversation when Elladan came flying out of the water followed very closely by Legolas.
"Get back here!" Legolas called after Elladan and the two disappeared in to the trees.
Nuquer ran out of the water and grabbed Elladan's and Legolas's clothes.
"Come on you guys let's go!" Nuquer started running back towards Elrond's house and Maik was following her.
Elrohir stood up and helped Ven get to her feet and the two took off after Nuquer.
