Disclaimer: I own none of the nine guys in the Fellowship, Elrond, Galadriel, Haldir, Or Celeborn. Just the nine girls in the Fellowship. I do not own some of their lines or the settings. (Hey I'll trade the nine girls for the guys..Tolkien?)

Author's note: This chapter will start out funny but end in a slightly (only slightly) serious situation. Sorry in advance. Also, if you like Haldir (I do), I'm extra sorry to you but someone had to be the bad guy/elf in this story (and I'd rather it wasn't Gimli for obvious reasons if you read the story). Also, I use a lot of elvish in this chapter, but it is translated in parentheses beside the phrase.

Chapter Five: Haldir's Mistake

"Stay close, young Hobbits! They say that a great sorceress lives in these woods. An Elf-witch of terrible power. All who look upon her fall under her spell and are never seen again. But here's one dwarf she won't ensnare so easily.", said Gimli.

"And if she does, I'll give her the beating she deserves!", said Jydda. Both dwarves laughed loudly. All of a sudden they were all looking at very pointy arrows. Legolas had just enough time to pull out his bow, but he was greatly outnumbered. Belaramiel had been able to duck under the bow and sneak up behind who appeared to be their leader. He was a tall, blonde elf, with pointy ears and..oh, sorry back to the story.

"The dwarves were so loud-", said Haldir, but Belaramiel interrupted.

"Hello Haldir.", said Belaramiel, still unnoticed by Haldir. This startled him, which is rare in an elf.

"Hello, Belaramiel, long time no see, eh?", he said.

Legolas wondered at this, "What does he have to do with Belaramiel?" By the smile on Haldir's face, he had more to do with Belaramiel than Legolas wanted. Haldir and Belaramiel talked for a while, like good friends. Although when he mentioned their past meetings, Belaramiel just mumbled something and looked away before changing the subject.

As Haldir led them back Legolas put his arm around Belaramiel's waist. Haldir gave him an icy glare. Legolas knew what his meant, it meant war.

They went in to talk to Galadriel. She kept saying things in the hobbits' minds that made them laugh. She laughed with them. I think she was telling jokes. Jokes? Galadriel? Go figure. Then she got serious.

As she welcomed the rest of them, she said softly into Legolas's head, "Watch out for Haldir, he's one grabby elf.", as she said this, she nodded towards Belaramiel. Legolas understood. Then she said something in Fordo and Lobelia's heads that made them cry. I wonder what she said? Maybe she just looked really creepy, like she does from time to time.

"Enjoy your selves.", she said, then to Celeborn, "Make sure they're comfortable here, slave boy, err, I mean Celeborn."

They all went out to explore the city. Legolas made sure to stay with Belaramiel. So did Haldir.

"Legolas this is Haldir, he's an old.friend.", said Belaramiel.

"A pleasure meeting you.", said Legolas clearly not meaning it.

"It's been so long since I've been here. I am going to go ahead, I'll see you when you get to the gardens.", said Belaramiel.

Legolas waited until she was out of earshot and said, "Auta miqula orqu, Amin feuya ten' lle!", (Go kiss an orc, you disgust me!) said Legolas to Haldir.

Haldir just laughed and said, "I would, but Belaramiel isn't an orc, is she?"

Legolas punched Haldir. Haldir fell unconscious to the ground.

"Oops!", said Legolas just before he ran to catch up to Belaramiel.

The day before the Fellowship left, Belaramiel was walking with Legolas.

"Haldir said that he has some important things to discuss with me before we leave, I'll be back soon.

That's when Galadriel came from behind Legolas and told him, "Follow her."

"But what do I do when Haldir tries something?", said Legolas, hoping for an obvious answer.

"Kill him, he's prettier than me. If he's dead, then I'll be the prettiest elf in Lothlorien again!", said Galadriel. That was the answer Legolas had hoped for.

When he caught up with her, she was already with Haldir. They were in one of the gardens, most of the Fellowship was there, too.

"Well, he won't try anything while they're all around.", Legolas thought.

That's when Aragorn said, "Quel du, Haldir, Belaramiel, lye anta kaim." (Good night, Haldir, Belaramiel, we need to sleep.)

"Quel kaima, mellonea.", (Sleep well, my friends.) said Haldir.

Legolas was worried. They were now alone. (or Haldir thought so anyway, heh heh) Would Haldir try something now? Yes.

He began by whispering things in her ear that even Legolas couldn't hear.

She would say things like, "That was a thousand years ago, you still remember that?", or, "That was your idea.", and sometimes even, "If Galadriel knew you did that she would have banished you! And me too!"

After a while Haldir kissed her. When he tried to back away he just grabbed her and pulled her back. That's when Legolas came out if hiding. He came out from behind the tree and pointed a well aimed arrow at Haldir's throat.

"You move, you die. You speak, you die. You ever, EVER, look at Belaramiel again, you die.", said Legolas. Haldir ran off and Legolas and Belaramiel joined their companions in sleep.

The next morning, before they left, Belaramiel went to "take care of unfinished business". The entire Fellowship knew what had happened. On their way out of the woods, they saw a very bruised Haldir hanging from a tree by his pants. They all just laughed and went on their way.

Sorry again to those who like Haldir. What did everyone think?
