chapter two
"So what did you think of the council?" Lilly and Gabby were sitting in Lilly's room that Gandalf had shown to them a few hours ago.
"I don't really know yet, but that one blond elf is really hot." Lilly replied smiling slightly.
"Which one? There was like twenty billion blond elves there!!" Gabby said laughing.
"The one with the green eyes" Lilly replied "What do you think of the council?"
"Well I don't like the way that Elrond guy and the other dude were looking at you. They had really strange looks on their faces, like they had never seen two teenagers fall out of the sky before!" Gabby said the last bit sarcastically.
"Yeah I know it was creepy" Lilly said. "Well anyway, besides the creepy guys, I'm happy to be here aren't you?"
"Yeah but what happens when we have to go home?" Gabby asked her.
"Oh well I'll just send you home no big deal" Lilly told the shorter girl while walking over to the window.
"You mean 'we' right, you'll send us home?" Gabby asked quickly.
"Hmmmm..??? oh yeah of course us" Lilly said distractedly looking out of the window "Hey I'm gonna go have a look around. I'll see ya tomorrow. Kay?"
"Ummm....sure... I'll see you tomorrow." Gabby said uncertainly"But no running away on us okay?" she added only half-jokingly.
"No problem no running away on ya. Scouts honor." Lilly said with a mock salute.
"Were you ever a girl scout?" Gabby asked with a raised eyebrow and a grin.
"Well....no....but that's not the point. It's the principle of the saying." Lilly said also grinning.
"I know I know. Okay I'll see you later then." Gabby said walking towards the door.
"Kay. Bye." Lilly replied going to grab her cloak from the back of a chair that she had laid it on earlier. After she had grabbed her cloak she walked out of her rooms closing the door behind her. She then walked down a long hallway and out into a pretty garden. She did not stop there however but kept walking past it towards the small lake that she had seen from the window in her room. When she finally go there she sat down on a rather large rock and looked out across the clear waters of the lake. Lilly had been sitting there quietly for about an hour just thinking when she suddenly heard almost silent footsteps from behind. As the footsteps came closer she turned and watched for whoever it was that was coming to come. 'I wonder who would be coming out here this late at night? There wasn't any path that I noticed so they couldn't have walked off of another path' Lilly thought while she was waiting. Suddenly a blond elf walked through the trees. He looked up and seemed suprised to see Lilly sitting right there in front of him.
"Oh! Hello. I was unaware that anyone was here. Would you like me to leave?" He asked her 'HEY!!! It's that really hot elf from the council.' Lilly thought recognizing him after he had spoken. 'I wonder why he's looking at me like that? Ohhh yeaaah he's probably waiting for me to answer his question.'
"No that's okay. As long as you don't mind a little company." Lilly said finally answering him with a small smile.
"Not at all m'lady especially if the company is as beautiful as you" he said as he sat down next to Lilly on the rock that she was still sitting on.
"I'm Lillyanne Leigh but all of my friends call me Lilly" she told him holding her hand out to shake hands with him.
"Legolas Greenleaf at your service Lady Lillyanne" he replied taking her hand, but instead of shaking it he kissed the back of it.
"Please just call me Lilly." she said grinning.
"Lilly then. If you do not mind my asking, What are you doing here?" Legolas asked her.
"Here in Middle Earth or here by this lake?" she asked smiling.
"Both." Legolas said laughing.
"Well I'm not sure what I'm doing here in Middle Earth really. Gandalf just showed up one day and told me how to get here, then he left again. After a few days I decided to come here. When I told Gabbrellia what I was doing to do she insisted on coming along" Lilly said quietly.
"And the reason that you are out here?" Legolas asked after a few moments of silence.
"The reason that I'm out here is actually much simpler then why I'm here in Middle Earth, I just saw this lake from the window in my room and it looked so peaceful I decided to come out here and sit for a while, ya'know think about things. How about you? Why are you here?" Lilly asked of him looking at the elven prince curiously.
"I am here to represent my fathers kingdom, Mirkwood, at the council of Elrond. I am afraid that I also bring bad news for the council," he said sadly, "and the reason that I am here by this lake is that it is my favorite place to come and just sit for a while when I am in Imladris because it is so beautiful here." Legolas said looking out across the lake.
"Imladris?" Lilly questioned.
"Rivendell, here." Legolas explained.
The two sat in silence for a while before they began to talk again.
"What is it like where you come from?" Legolas asked Lilly looking at her curiously.
"Well it's a lot different then here for starters. The way everything is here, the way people act and think and dress and the way nature is, it is like it was about five hundred years ago in my world. It is very different now, in some aspects it is better but in others.." Lilly trailed off thinking for a moment "it's much worse than anything you could ever imagine."
"How so?" Legolas asked looking at her questioningly.
"It's really hard to explain. There is so much pollution it practically smothers you when you step outside in some places it's horrible. There are weapons of such distruction it's terrifying, they can kill thousands of people in one hit." Lilly said shuddering. "It's really depressing to think about. That's part of why I came here. But then there are some of the things that make it a wonderful place to live in, with the technology, sky diving, and bunge jumping." She continued more cheerfully.
"And all of these things are fun?" Legolas asked curiously.
"Yeah they're great " Lilly said looking up at the sky."Oh shit!!!!" Lilly exclaimed standing up "I should get going, Gabbs will never shut up if she knew that I didn't go back to my room last night."
"If that is the case and you truly must go, may I escort you to your room?" Legolas asked while holding his arm out for her. Lilly smiled and accepted with a nod of her head and a "sure". With that the two began to walk back towards the house of Elrond arm in arm. When they reached her room Legolas stopped at her door to say goodnight.
"Thank you for your company tonight Lady Lillyanne I enjoyed talking with you ." He said quietly.
"It was no problem I'm glad that you showed up and that we were able to talk also. I had fun tonight" Lilly said smiling up at him and looking into his green eyes. They began to inch towards each other neither seeming to realize it when suddenly they heard a loud crash from inside Lilly's rooms.
"What the hell!!" Lilly exclaimed turning towards her door and reaching out to open it. "I better check this out."
"Nay m'lady let me. It could be someone who should not be in there." Legolas said stepping forwards to the door and grabbing Lilly's hand that was almost on the doorknob.
"Oh?" Lilly said raising an eyebrow at him. "Are you saying that just 'cause I'm a girl I wouldn't be able to handle someone if they attacked me?" Her tone of voice would have told even the stupidest of people that their answer had best be 'no'.
"No, Lady Lilly I merely meant that-" Legolas began to try and explain to her.
"Good I'll be right back" and with that she threw open the door and was about to step in the room when she saw what or rather who had made the loud crash.
"What the hell are you doing here?!?" Lilly demanded of the person.
"LILLY!!! Your okay! I was worried when you didn't come back!" Gabby said standing up from her position on the floor.
"Gabby! I told you that I was going for a walk besides when have you ever known me to sleep much? Lilly asked her exasperatedly. "And what exactly are you doing on the floor?"
"I know I know but I had to ask you something so I came in here but when you didn't come back I decided to go to sleep until you came back and then I just fell off of your bed. HEY! Who's that behind you?" Gabby finished finally noticing the blond prince behind her friend.
"Oh! Sorry Legolas. Gabby this is Legolas from Mirkwood. Legolas this is my semi-phycotic friend Gabby from my world." Lilly said stepping aside to let Legolas into her room. Gabby looked at the witch with her eyebrows raised her face asking 'And what exactly were you doing with him?' but before she could voice this question Lilly cut in.
"Gabby what did you want to ask me?" she said quickly trying to steer her friend away from the topic of the cute prince standing beside her.
"I wanted to know if you brought your little magic book bag thingie ya know the one that-" Gabby said but was soon interrupted by Legolas.
"Magic book bag?" He questioned of Lilly looking at her curiously.
"Ummm.... yeah see I have this book bag thing that I kinda sorta but a spell on it so all I have to do is put something in it and it never gets full or heavy it's actually really neat" Lilly explained quickly.
"Anyway back to me," Gabby interrupted testily, "did you bring it huh? Huh? Did ya?" she asked eagerly hopping up and down in front of her taller friend hopefully.
"Yes." Lilly said slowly "I did. Why?" she asked her friend suspiciously.
"Oh.....well....ya see...its just after I went back to my room I realized that I didn't bring a blow drier or anything like that so I was hoping that, you happened to put one in your book bag which you conveniently brought so that, I could get a blow drier 'cause...yeah....my hair looks like shit if I don't blow dry it."Gabby said looking at Lilly with her eyes pleading with her to let her use the other girls blow drier.
"Fine. It's over there." Lilly said pointing across the room "but you do know that there isn't any electricity here right?" she said grinning mischievously.
"WHAT!!!!" THERE'S NO ELECTRICITY AT ALL!!!!!!!" Gabby shrieked making both Lilly and Legolas cringe at the pitch of her voice.
"Damn Gabbs calm down! I told you before that there was no electricity here before we left." Lilly said glaring at her friend.
"Well OBVIOUSLY I didn't listen to you did I? If I had known that I wouldn't have...well okay I still would have come but I would have brought a battery powered one or something' like that" Gabby told her while walking towards the door. "Well since you don't have a blow drier that I can use I guess I'll just go back to my rooms and go to bed. 'Cause unlike some people around here I need to sleep for more then two hours a night." Gabby finished mock-glaring at her friend.
"Kay I'll see you later. Night." Lilly replied laughing.
"Okay. Oh and by the way; don't do anything I wouldn't do huh?" Gabby said nodding her head towards Legolas with raised eyebrows and a devious smile on her face.
"GABBY!!!" Lilly shrieked, and laughing, Gabby darted out of Lilly's rooms and into her own across the hallway.
"I regret to say that I had better be leaving now m'lady." Legolas said when Llly had turned back to him.
"Right I should probably try to sleep a little too." Lilly replied nodding.
"Lilly? Would it be too forward of me to ask to escort you to the great hall tomorrow for breakfast and we could spend some time together before the council convenes at midday?" Legolas asked turning back to her from half-way out the door.
"No not at all, I would like that very much" Lilly said smiling at him.
"Then I will meet you at 8 o'clock in the great hall if that is fine with you of course m'lady" Legolas said with a small bow.
"That's fine Lego set Lilly said with a smirk, but when Legolas stared at her with a look of shock and confusion on his face she could not hold in her giggles. "You should see your face, it's priceless I wish I had a camera." she said in between her giggles. Legolas just looked at her strangely for a moment then turned and began to walk down the hall, but turned back when he heard a shriek from Gabby's room.
"LILLY!!! What the hell did you do?!?" Gabby screamed storming out of her room. When Legolas saw her he stopped walking and just stared at her.
"What?" Lilly asked innocently. "Hey what did you do to your hair? It's kinda um... blue" Lilly said somehow managing to keep a straight face.
"Don't give me that 'it wasn't me, I'm so innocent' bull-shit! Turn it back now!!!" Gabby said glaring at her friend.
"I didn't do it! How can I fix it if I didn't do it?" Lilly asked calmly.
"You did do it! I know you did. Gabby said.
"Fine fine don't have a cow" Lilly sighed then she waved her hand at Gabby. "Okay there."
"Okay" Gabby said uncertainly. Somehow Lilly and Legolas managed to keep their laughter in until the door to Gabby's room closed. But as soon as her door was closed the two grinned at each other.
"When do you think that she will realize that her hair is still blue?" Legolas asked Lilly still grinning.
"Not anytime soon 'cause she won't be able to tell that it is still blue." Lilly said.
"She will not?" Legolas asked.
"No, I made it so that she will not be able to see the blue. She'll only see her real hair color but everyone else can see the blue." she said smirking Legolas just smiled and started walking back down the hallway.
"Goodnight Lady Lillyanne or shall I say Good morning?" he asked looking out of a near-by window.
"I think that either would work at this time." Lilly said with a small smile.
"Until later today then." Legolas said bowing slightly. Lilly just smiled at him and went into her rooms.
