Song For Nought
~
Nuquer tossed and turned in her bed that night, she couldn't help but think of Legolas, it was like she was starting to like him again.
~
The next morning didn't come soon enough for Ven and Maik, the two were hoping everything would go smoothly between Legolas and Nuquer today.
"Maik!" Ven stood outside Maik's door pounding on it.
"My goodness Ven, what is it?!" Maik opened the door expecting the poor elf to be dying.
"You're taking to long to get ready." Ven smiled back at her, holding a towel.
"I'm coming! Hold on a moment!" Maik grabbed her towel and followed the nearly running Ven down towards the infirmary.
Elladan and Elrohir had just finished breakfast and were headed towards Maik's room when Ven nearly plowed Elrohir into the ground as she came bounding around the corner.
"Whoa there Ven!" Elrohir exclaimed as he steadied her from falling over.
"We're going to get Melde-"
"She's on her way." Elladan answered, "We were just coming to get you girls."
"Well, here we are." Maik smiled as she caught up with Ven.
"Where's Legolas?'
"Where's Nuquer?"
The two questions came from Ven and Elrohir at the same time. The two laughed.
"We were also going to get him." Elladan concluded.
"We were going to get Nuquer after Melde." Maik looked up at the bright sky, it was going to be a nice day.
"Well let's go then." Melde had come up behind the group.
"Morning Melde!" Elladan greeted her and moved over so she could join the group.
"I believe we were going to get those crazy love-crossed friends of ours!" Melde smiled around at the group.
"Yes, we were!" Ven smiled and hooked her arm around Melde's.

Nuquer was sitting in front of her fretting about what she should do with her hair. A knock on the door forced her to make a quick decision and she left it loose.
Nuquer opened the door and found Maik staring back at her, surrounded by the rest of the group. Nuquer smiled and grabbed her towel, "Ready."
"Hey, you left your hair down! You never leave your hair down!" Melde smiled at Nuquer.
"How'd you know that? I thought you lost your memory?!" Nuquer exclaimed at Melde.
"Oh my Valar! You're right, I don't know, I just.remembered!" Melde looked very pleased. It was true, Nuquer rarely, if ever at all left her hair loose, Legolas had never seen her with her hair like that and felt that all to familiar knot in his stomach again.
"Well that's great! Maybe more will come back to you in time!" Nuquer closed her door and the group started off down the hall.

Waenmetiel was sitting next the young elves' pond when she heard their footsteps coming from down the hall. She stood and ran to the bushes and hid herself deep among them.
~
"It's so pretty." Melde smiled as the group reached the pond, they all dropped their towels on the rocks that made a small pathway into the trees and headed towards the cool water.
"Can you believe, only two weeks left of this summer?" Elladan sighed as the rest of his friends settled themselves around him in the water.
"Don't remind us, it's to sad to think about." Maik frowned at him, "I'm going to miss you guys so much."
"Have I been here all summer?" Melde asked.
"No, actually you just got here a day or two ago." Nuquer laughed.
"Well, then I wish I could remember and I wish it was longer." Melde shrugged.
"We have to keep in touch with one another!" Legolas looked around at the friends he had made and the friendship he had strengthened with the twins.
"Of course we will, it'll be like we never left."
