Author's note: Well, I can't even begin to apologize for taking such a long time to post, but it really wasn't my fault, for the most part anyway. First of all, my computer crashed to the point of no repair and we had to throw it away. Getting a new one also took a little longer than I was hoping for. When we did get the new computer though, I had to copy my chapters from the Internet so I could re-read them and actually know what the heck it is I'm writing about. But when I tried that, ff.net was being a really big meany, like every time I'd try to get to a new page, it would say that the page cannot be loaded, or it's busy, or I cannot access it because of many reasons. It was really annoying, I would try to get to the pages so I could read my chapters at least 2 times a day for at least3 weeks, before I actually got them all. I don't know if it all makes sense, but it was VERY annoying. At one point, I was trying to find myself (elfheart) and it said that the user doesn't exist. Yeah, that freaked me out a bit. And THEN there was more stuff like it wouldn't let me log in, or the document manager would be down for repairs, so there was nothing I could do, really.

I might suggest as well that you go back and scan the chapters so you kinda remember what happened. Yikes! This is so long! Okay, that's it, I'm ending it here, but I hope that you can forgive me for taking so long to update.

Also I'm getting very sick of saying that I don't own anything, so from here, I'll just let this work for the whole story. I DON'T OWN LEGOLAS OR MIRKWOOD, OR ANYONE OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WAS IN THE BOOKS!!!

Legolas and Alinne stood there in silence. Neither knew what to say. Alinne was relieved to get this whole misunderstanding out of the way, and Legolas was a bit disappointed that he would have to win her heart. Love had always come easy for him. Although he was never truly in love, he always knew that as the prince, he could have any girl he could possibly want. They all would kill to be with him. He always hated that, but now he began to miss it. He began to realize that this would not be an easy thing to do. He would have to prove to her that he truly loved her. But wait.did he truly love her? This began to trouble him again. He just met this girl a little while ago.how could he KNOW that he loved her? Perhaps this waiting thing could be good for the both of them. Alinne finally broke the silence: "I'm sorry I forgot about your shoulder. It must have been bothering you, but I completely forgot. I'm so sorry, and I tried to make another one for you to keep, I rechecked the ingredients, but I don't have the Cerut. It only grows in spring, so we will have to wait a long time."

"Oh, it's alright, you are my only friend here, and I would be more than happy to see you everyday. Besides, I forgot as well, so you don't have to worry about it." Legolas's words did help, and Alinne began to feel better again.

"Well, alright, in that case, I had better check on it and make sure it's alright." As they walked back, they talked about Legolas's living arrangements and how everything would work out. Legolas told her that he talked to Nithem about it, and that they decided to tell the community 2 days from today. In conversation, they walked towards the palace. They made a quick stop by Alinne's hut to grab the potion, and began walking to the castle that Legolas would soon be living in.

Author's note: okay now I know this is shorter than EVER but I gotta go, and I want to post this while ff.net is still working on my computer. Chances are, I'll post again today, or maybe tomorrow. Also, the chapters should be coming quick now, so I hope you enjoy. Oh, and PLEASE review.
