Full of Surprises

Chapter 5

DISCLAIMER: Don't own LOTR, don't sue me, I'm still heavily in debt to my mom for buying me 2 new CD's. (Suuuure I had to cover the parental warning but hey)

A/N: Okay, ya I know that Elrond has one daughter, but I had to make her the daughter of someone, and I kinda thought it would be fun to torment Elrond.

Azulina rolled her eyes. This was the fifth time that their teacher had explained the correct way to mount a horse.

"Okay, does everybody understand?" The teacher asked.

Some elf raised his hand. "Why do you mount on the left side?"

Azulina couldn't help herself. "Because, jackass, if you got on from the right side, you would whack your horse's ass with your knife or sword or whatever, thus dumping you on your sorry ass."

"Oh."

Azulina rolled her eyes. "Look, we all know how to ride. Can we actually do something now?"

"Okay, we don't have much time, we'll just do a little race. I'll throw in some hurdles to make it more interesting. Just make sure you jump the small side of everything." Their teacher agreed.

As it ended up, Azulina and Legolas were the anchor riders on their teams. Azulina's team was behind until their turn.

"Go!" Samuil yelled, crossing the line.

"Go Az!" Lorin yelled, crossing the line a nose behind him.

Azulina took off, gaining fast. She couldn't help but notice that the highest fences were the most direct route. She made up her mind.

Swinging off to the side a bit, she steered towards the five foot hurdles.

Over, stride, over stride stride, over... She thought as she began to draw even with Legolas.

This is gonna be one helluva tight turn. She thought, eyeing the turn that would get her back the fastest. I can do it though.

She sat her horse down on his haunches, wheeled him around, and took off again, drawing up to Legolas' horse's neck. Legolas increased his pace as they approached the final hurdle.

Azulina lowered her body to her horse's neck, kneaded her hands forwards, and as they landed, urged her horse forwards as hard as she could. She flew by Legolas, winning by a neck.

"Young lady! I said to take the smallest hurdles!" Their teacher yelled.

"Oh, sorry, I must have misunderstood." Azulina lied.

Legolas was just considering walking up to her when Lorin trotted past.

"Ya baby!!! We win!!" Lorin yelled, high fiving Azulina.

"Damn right girl!!" Azulina agreed.

Lorin laughed, and the two girls walked off together.

"Dude, why do you keep staring at that girl?" Samuil asked, coming up behind Legolas.

"Uh, no reason." Legolas lied.

"Right." Samuil said, raising his eyebrow. He knew his friend didn't want to talk about it. "So, wanna go fight or something?"

"I can't, I got a dt." Legolas said.

"Ya, why did you do that anyway?" Samuil asked.

"You know how boring that class was. I just, uh, cracked." Legolas lied.

"I see." Samuil said.

"See ya, I got to go to dt." Legolas said, walking off.

"Bye."

***********************************************************************

"Geez Az, it's so totally obvious you're crazy for the guy, just ask him out already!" Lorin told her friend, rolling her eyes. The girls were sitting on Lorin's bed.

"Ya, but he's such a good friend, I want to keep it that way." Azulina replied, hugging her knees to her chest.

Lorin rolled her eyes. "Whatever. So, what was this favor he did for you?"

"Oh ya, he caused a diversion so I could sneak out-" Azulina looked at the clock. "SHIT!!!"

"What is it Az?" Lorin asked as her friend grabbed her stuff.

"I was supposed to be in dt fifteen minutes ago!" Azulina yelled, running out the door.

Lorin laughed and rolled her eyes again. Yep, that was Az for ya.

***********************************************************************

Legolas rolled his eyes for about the fifteenth time in a minute. Detention was boring. Plus, Mrs. Leemin was handling it, meaning that sneaking out was impossible. Damn.

He resisted the strong temptation to bash his head onto the desk until he passed out. At least that would be more exciting than this.

The door began to open. Pleas let it be someone to save me from this boredom. He thought.

***********************************************************************

Azulina ran into the dt classroom. "I'm sorry I'm late!" Then she realized that Mrs.Leemin was at the desk. "Oh shit. You again."

"Oh, suprised to see me?" Mrs. Leemin asked.

"No, most people suffer a brief shock when they look upon a new state of ugliness." Azulina told her.

There was a cough that sounded like it was really a laugh from across the room. Azulina looked over at Legolas. Oh ya, he got dt too. She thought.

"Sit down!!" Mrs. Leemin yelled.

Azulina rolled her eyes and sat down. No hope of escape. She thought. "I'm doooooomed!!!!"

Legolas and Mrs. Leemin both looked at her.

"I just said that out loud, didn't I?" She asked.

Legolas nodded.

"No talking!!" Mrs. Leemin yelled.

"Sorry." Azulina apologized sarcastically.

They were once again being bored out of their minds. Azulina was back to trying to pull her hair out, and Legolas was gripping the sides of the desk so hard that his knuckles were white.

"Okay, you may both leave now." Mrs. Leemin said.

"WOOHOO!!!!" Azulina yelled, bolting out of the classroom.

Legolas followed her, wondering how she kept getting more attractive by the second. Hormones. Gotta be the hormones. He thought.
