Song For None
~
Legolas, Elladan, and Elrohir were walking back towards their room and discussing the night's events.
"I can't believe I didn't get to dance with Ven. I really wanted to, but she was dancing with that Nan guy the whole night and I didn't want to interrupt!" Elrohir told Legolas and Elladan with a saddened look on his face.
"None of us got to dance with our girls! They were all to busy dancing with other guys. Dancing really close to other guys. Dancing so close you'd have to pry them off each other! Dancing so close they might as well be one elf!" Legolas was obviously still jealous of Nuquer's dancing partners and none to happy about his own partner who he had never really cared for.
"I can't believe neither of us got to dance with Nuquer. That Telyave guy really ticks me off too. I never did like him!" Elladan kicked a leaf out of the pathway as they walked into Elrond's house.
"Now, what would really make me mad is if Nuquer and that stupid orc of a guy Telyave started dating! That's just the kind of thing that Telyave would do too! He's always trying to show me up!" Legolas stopped by the door of his room to say goodnight to Elladan and Elrohir, "See you guys in the morning."
Legolas retreated, in a bad mood, into his room. Elladan and Elrohir also retreated to their rooms in similar tempers.
~Nuquer's point of view~
I can't believe Legolas would dance with that girl! She is so annoying! He just did it to make me jealous. Then he had the nerve to bring her to dance over by me! Who does he think he is?! I should go out with Telyave just to tick him off! That would serve him right for pretending to like that orc of a girl! Then we'll see who's jealous!
~Legolas's point of view~
I can't believe that girl, she danced with more elfes in one night than I've ever danced with in my entire life! I know she was doing it just to make me jealous! Then she has the nerve to dance with that stupid Telyave guy and try and pretend she's having a nice time with her "friend" when I come over there! I can't believe her!

The next morning everyone awoke a little tired and groggy eyed. The six young elfes made their way to the dining area to eat breakfast.
Nuquer and Legolas refused to look at each other while they sat at the table and said not a word to each other.
"Good-morning, Elrohir." Ven sat down next to Elrohir giving him a warm smile. Elrohir couldn't help but smile back at her.
"How are you feeling?" Elrohir had forgotten the resentment he felt last night and felt sure that nothing would happen between Ven and Nan.
"I'm a little sleepy, how about you?" Ven had hoped that Elrohir wouldn't be upset. She had had a nice time dancing with Nan but she really like Elrohir.
"Me too. Did you have a nice time with Nan last night?" Elrohir was trying to show he had no hard feelings from the night.
"It was nice. What about you?" Ven also wanted to show she wasn't upset.
"Same. Do you want to go riding this afternoon?" Elrohir had somehow gotten the nerve to ask her to go riding and didn't want to miss an opportunity to show no hard feelings.
"I'd love too!" Ven agreed whole-heartedly.
Maik noticed that Legolas and Nuquer had not said a word to each other the whole morning.
"Hey, Legolas, how was your evening?" Maik looked at Legolas who had not looked up from his bread at all.
"It couldn't have been worse." Legolas said with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Oh, that's sad to hear. What about you Nuquer?" Maik didn't really want to get in the middle of the two, especially knowing Nuquer's temper but she felt it was her duty as a friend to try and do something.
"Well, it was fine until certain people felt the need to make things bad." Nuquer let her fork fall onto her plate with a loud 'clink' and got up to leave.
"Well maybe some people should not be so skanky." Legolas mumbled under his breath as Nuquer left.
If Nuquer heard she showed no sign.
"Well then, have a nice rest of the morning." Maik felt it would be an appropriate time to exit now.
The rest of the group finished eating their breakfast and when Elladan came in it was just as quiet as before. The group then separated to go their different ways.

That afternoon, Nuquer returned to the house after being gone since breakfast that morning.
"Where have you been pouty face?" Maik commented when Nuquer walked in Maik's room where her and Ven had been talking.
"Around town." Nuquer sat on the bed and tried to look innocent.
"What were you doing?" Ven asked politely.
"You know, just, around." Nuquer was obviously hiding something.
"You're hiding something." Maik accused Nuquer.
"OK, ok I'll tell you-"
"Oh! Sorry, Nuquer, but I just realized the time and I have to get ready to go riding with Elrohir!" Ven jumped up from the bed and started shifting through Maik's robes.
"Ugh, goodness. Miss Perfect gets to be all happy-go-lucky with her little boyfriend after spending the night with another guy!" Nuquer rolled her eyes and finished what she was saying, "I went to visit Telyave."
"What!?" Maik couldn't believe what she had just heard.
"Yea, we are now dating and we are going on a moonlight ride tomorrow night." Nuquer smiled.
"I can't believe you! I thought you didn't want to date him!?" Maik was still in shock.
"Well, I changed my mind." Nuquer stood up to help Ven find an outfit to wear riding.

Legolas, Elladan, and Elrohir went into town that afternoon to look at new arrows. While they were in the shop looking at the different styles they could buy Telyave walked in.
"Hey, Legolas!" Telyave walked up to Legolas.
"Oh, hey Telyave." Legolas rolled his eyes and put down his arrow.
"How are you doing with Pil-Gania?" Telyave nodded to Elladan and Elrohir.
"Who? Oh! Um, I don't know. We aren't doing anything together or anything like that." Legolas really wanted to stuff the arrow down Telyave's throat and walk out but Legolas stood there.
"Really, you guys looked happy. Nuquer and I are going on a moonlight ride tomorrow night!" Telyave said with a smile.
"What? You and Nuquer?" Legolas thought his ears had deceived him.
"Yea, we are kind of together now. She's really hott, don't you think?" Telyave elbowed Legolas and winked.
"Um, yea, she's nice looking. Not the best I've seen though." Legolas had his right hand in a fist at his side.
"Well, tell me where you've been seeing those girls because Nuquer is definitely the hottest girl I've ever seen!" Telyave laughed.
"Oh, you know, when you get out more you see hotter elfes." Legolas was trying desperately to keep his cool.
"Yea, well. I'll let you know how the date goes! See you around!" Telyave waved to Elladan and Elrohir and left.
Elladan and Elrohir walked over to Legolas, "What was that all about?" Elladan asked.
"Telyave, is dating Nuquer." Legolas shook his head and looked at Elladan who was just as shocked as he was.
