T/N: Hey! Sup? How are you, my two wonderful reviewers? Thanks, btw!
Very simply put, edgy wedgy. *giggles* I like saying that out loud! *says edgy wedgy about 3 dozen times aloud* Smuff (aka Jade6 *giggles* & Alida- Fruit) , you can imagine where the story's going? GREAT! I TRY to make something that's actually interesting & you know where it's going! ^_~ j/k. Didja love Randir? Lafi does too. "Tavari" is her name from barrowdowns.com. You'll know why I said that soon enough. What's so funny bout the summary? -_- Freak.
Eh. . . sorry. I shouldn't be calling one of the 2 people that actually reviewed a freak.
Sorry the update took so long. I'm grounded from the net & Lafi recently got grounded too, (I got the reviews Monday at school! ^_~) so all updates count completely on XxDragon Princess NikkixX's willingness to help me out. Thanks chick!
Hope you like this! Enjoy!
N/N: *giggles* I stole this from Tafi. Nikki's note? Get it? Er, neways. I am updating here for tafi and I thought I oughta say something. Tafi is gonna either 1) laugh her head off that I am writing in the beginning of her story 2) roll her eyes and call me dumb 3) glare at the screen, call me up, and yell at me 4) all of the above 5) both 1 and 2 (this is the most likely one). But now I bet your all mad at me for writing here and not letting you continue on to the story, aren't you? Well all I can say is this is a really great chappie, be prepared to laugh!
Chapter 2
King Thranduil sat awkwardly on the head chair in the royal family's dining room. Usually at least one of his children would join him for the midday meal. Where were they?
Randir was probably training and toning his skills as a warrior. Or, perhaps he was training and toning some other skills with Tavari so they would be ready for their wedding night . . . Thranduil grimaced. Randir was probably somewhere sword fighting- no, that didn't do. He was most likely aiming for some target somewhere and hitting it dead center- no, that didn't do either. Randir was playing some sort of game, and only forgot lunch because he was scoring so much-
Thranduil decided to quickly think of his other children before he lost his appetite. Legolas was reading somewhere. That was obvious. He might be in the library, but he probably wasn't. Thranduil sighed. The youngest prince could be anywhere. Thranduil could go seek him, but he didn't feel up to searching the whole palace. Besides, the food would get cold.
The Elvenking's brow furrowed. Calinuel should be here. Never in her life had she missed an opportunity to eat - and she ate a lot. Thranduil looked at the food set before him and rubbed his chin. There was no way he could eat all of this without at least his daughter joining him. He raised a golden eyebrow before grinning and biting into a roll. This was a challenge he was willing to take.

"IVA! Get down from there! We're discussing important matters and you aren't getting out of it! Don't give me that look! COME DOWN!"
Ivariel sighed heavily. Her love had left his room anyway; she might as well come down. She climbed down the tree very slowly however, just to bother her friend.
"I order you to go faster!"
Ivariel rolled her eyes. "I don't have to listen to you! You haven't even come of age yet!"
"I'm the princess! You're the subject! HURRY UP!"
Ivariel grinned and started climbed back up tree.
"Hurry down! HURRY DOWN!"
Ivariel started going down again. "I still don't have to follow your orders. My father's the chief advisor to the king!"
"My father IS the king! HURRY U- I mean DOWN!"
"I still don't have to listen to you. You're a child."
"I'll be one hundred fifty in three days!"
"Exactly. You aren't quite there yet."
Another voice drifted from the ground. "Iva, shut up! Stop arguing with Cali and get down here or we won't care about your opinion." Several more voices called out in agreement. Ivariel sighed and jumped the rest of the distance. She curtsied in respect to the princess.
"Sorry, my lady. I was very comfortable up there. What do you need me for?"
Princess Calinuel grinned wickedly. "You were spying on my brother again, weren't you?"
Ivariel grimaced. "Yuck! No! Besides, Randir's got Tav-"
"No!" Calinuel interrupted and crossed her arms. "You know I mean Legolas."
"OfcourseIhaven't."
"What?"
"Why did you call me down here anyway?" Ivariel changed the subject irritably. "Seriously, I found the most comfortable little nook in one of the branches in that tree, and if you called me down here for nothing I'll just go back up." Ivariel bent her legs to jump.
"Wait! Come on, Iva - we're going to my wardrobe to see if there's anything good in it. If there isn't, we're going to Rin's wardrobe," Calinuel gestured towards the girl who had told Ivariel to shut up, "then if all of her dresses aren't good enough we'll try Renolith's, Golrieth's, Ainaleth's, and yours."
Ivariel stared stupidly at the young princess. "Why?"
Calinuel rolled her eyes. "I need the perfect dress for the feast and the party! My birthday is in three days, Iva! Now let's go!"
~*~
"Wait!" Legolas called as the threesome passed the armory. "Where are you going? Aren't we getting any weapons?"
Randir looked confused. "Why?"
"Why not? What if the spiders catch us?"
"Legolas, the spiders are nocturnal," Randir said, rolling his eyes. "They hate the light of day. They'll be sleeping."
Legolas couldn't believe his ears. "What if one wakes, Randir? Did you think of that?"
Randir bit his lower lip bashfully. "No, not really," he admitted. "But, if one does, simply climb a tree or something. They're probably terrified of the sun." Legolas didn't appear convinced. Randir sighed and walked towards him. He smiled comfortingly before turning to Dorlinen. "The last one to the side door has to get the threads!" he shouted as he ran down the hallway.
Dorlinen hurriedly followed, as did Legolas very reluctantly.

The Elvenking of Mirkwood couldn't hold in a loud and most undignified belch. He giggled childishly as it echoed around the empty room. He looked around the table. There was so much food left! He held his stomach protectively and almost whimpered. Then he saw something he hadn't before. Blackberries!
Thranduil reached across the table and grabbed a bowl filled with his favorite food. He promptly ate one. And another. And then another. Rolling his eyes and remembering he was alone, he grabbed a handful of blackberries and forced then all into his mouth. Chewing them became very difficult and he almost immediately began choking. A few hard punches to his chest did their job, but Thranduil had to quickly cover his mouth to avoid creating a huge mess. After chewing very slowly and carefully, he swallowed.
Glaring at the bowl of blackberries, Thranduil told the blackberries he would never risk his life in such a stupid way ever again. To prove his point, he openly ate some meat. The blackberries stared solemnly at him. Thranduil cackled and emptied his wine goblet. The blackberries pouted sadly. Convincing himself that he was hurting the blackberries' feelings, Thranduil took another handful.
~*~
Legolas looked nervously around. His breath came in short gasps. Where were Randir and Dorl? They had been right in front of him only a moment ago - but then he turned. Legolas kicked his shin with his heel in frustration and fell flat on his face. He quickly sat up and listened hard for any sounds in the forest. There was nothing. Nothing had heard him crash ungracefully to the ground.
He scowled as he stood and limped forward. Why had he turned around? Sure, he thought he heard a spider hissing, but it was only a leaf! The stupid leaf rustled in the slightest breeze! 'And I thought it was a SPIDER?' He nearly kicked his shin as punishment, but then remembered he'd already done that.
Scanning his surroundings carefully, Legolas was relieved to find he was alone. Nothing had heard him fall. Then again, that meant he was alone. In the forest. The dark forest. The dark spider-infested forest. He'd only been completely alone out here once in his entire life. Legolas gulped and closed his eyes. He didn't want to think about it. 'But I have to! I'm ALONE!' Legolas had to find his brother and his door-named friend. He took a deep breath, but just as he was about to call for help, something very strong suddenly gripped his shoulder.
