T/N: I am SO sorry I didn't update sooner, you have no idea! See, this chapter took me ages to write, then I was really busy with tests, then my mom banned me from the net for. . . um. . . *private* reasons that you must email me about if you want to know why. Then I went to visit my dad in Florida for a month. I just recently got back, so, here I am!

Mellon: Thanks, mellon nin! Yeah, well, she HAD to get caught. ^_~ That little spoiled brat had to get yelled at during SOME point in her life. I hope this chapter meets expectations, please let me know! Gawd, this chapter took me 2 weeks to write, you know. My mind kept going blank. Stupid school tests. . .

DaveRocks: Why thank you! That's EXACTLY what I'm trying to do! I'm so glad you said that, you have no idea. ^_^ Hope this is intelligent, LOL, I really didn't know what I was doing in this one. . . all I knew was "Poor Cal!" but I wasn't sure how to express that. *giggles* Now I'm sounding mildly poetic. This is a good day for me.

Bekky: Hej, sup? Sorry, but I don't expect there to be many blackberries in the future either. That sorta thing could get old very fast. But, not to you of course. ^_~ j/k! She takes them to her daddy because she's a spoiled brat & she relies on him to fix all of her problems. I hoped I'd shown that when she told him about the whole Dwarf thing. Ah well. . . yeah, that's what I'd do to my bro to! ^_^ Think like a pervert, Bek, think like a pervert. . . I'm glad you can wait for a bit! Cuz that's sure what I made you do! As for the mail, please try my new one!

Nikki: Your inner animal is so adorable. What an awesome review. O_o LOL, j/k, I know. . . ff.net deletes reviews like that sometimes. I wonder how many people are wondering about your inner animal, Nik. . . if anyone's as nosey as Elfie & happens to read this, it's an inside joke about horoscopes. Well, I updated! So now you can't kill me! ^_^ Yay!

Mojo: That's my friend's car's name, btw. . . Mojo. Awesome. Not that I haven't seen you review me or me review you before, but still, I just remembered that. Hooray! You loved it? That's wonderful! So did I! Kinda pathetic, but I read my chapter before I post & I laugh quite a bit - but I won't post till it makes me laugh, so. . .

Cool, 5 reviewers! Thanks a bil everyone!

Chapter 7

King Thranduil stormed into his only daughter's bedroom and glared at the dark shadows. He ripped the blankets off the bed and threw the pillows out of his way. Grunting angrily, he looked under the bed. Calinuel ran into the room.

"There's no one in here!" she shrieked instantly.

Thranduil's head snapped up. "WHY WEREN'T YOU DRESSED?!"

The princess gasped and took a step back as Thranduil started a very loud lecture. Her father had never yelled at her like this before. She opened her mouth but could only make small stressed sounds from the back of her throat. Legolas and Dorlinen appeared in the doorway, Legolas grinning broadly.

"Isn't this beautiful?" Legolas asked in a dreamy tone.

Dorlinen's head turned very slowly to look at the prince. "How can you say that?"

Legolas smiled at Dorlinen. "She deserves this, trust me," he looked back at his shaking sister. "She's always deserved this, but she's never gotten it."

Dorlinen looked slightly worried but said nothing. They tuned back into the conversation blasting in front of them.

"Did you think even once about your REPUTATION?! That seems to be all you ever care about anyway! If you get pregnant this young, the whole of Middle Earth would think you a-" Thranduil stopped so abruptly that his mouth was still open a little. He stared at the crack under a door that led to another of Calinuel's rooms. Something had moved.

The Elvenking moved quicker than sight could follow to open the door and grab the terrified Elf's neck. In his blind rage, Thranduil didn't recognize him until Legolas gasped.

"Danen?" Legolas shrieked. "That's. . . ugh, Danen! That's disgusting!"

Danen shook visibly as the king's eyes seemed to actually burst into flame. He opened his mouth but Legolas interrupted him.

"I can't believe this. . . of all the people to be in here, I would never expect you!"

Thranduil opened his mouth again, but Legolas again interrupted him.

"Of course, I obviously wouldn't expect father or Randir or myself in here, but of everyone that might be in here, you? Danen?"

Thranduil took a deep breath so he could effectively blow Danen's head off, but Legolas wasn't done.

"But I suppose this isn't as surprising as I'm making it out to be; your head always was a li-" the prince stopped immediately when he saw the look his father was giving him.

"Thank you," Thranduil said in voice so strained he sounded in pain. He turned back to Danen. "Now you. . ." the king's eyes were slits.

Randir and Tavari ran into the room, knocking Legolas and Dorlinen ungracefully onto the rug.

"What'd I miss?" Randir asked eagerly.

Legolas grinned. "Everyth- Hey!" he exclaimed as he was pushed out of the room. He was soon followed by Randir and Dorlinen. Thranduil didn't push Tavari, but politely indicated the door, and she politely left. The king slammed the door behind them.

"That wasn't very nice," Randir said indignantly.

T/N: That was short, especially considering it took me so damn long. Sorry! & I'm sorry I added another character. I hope none of those gets confusing, but in a few chapters it might. If you have any questions just ask.

Please review! I love your input & praise! Flames are accepted if not expected in some low self-esteem situations.
