Disclaimer: I don't own Lord of the Rings or stuff like that. Any person you don't recognize, I own. Right.

A/N: although it may appear to be, it's not a mary-sue!!! Just read on. Gosh just cuz there's some girl involved doesn't mean a thing!! Just cuz Legolas takes a liking to her doesn't mean a darn thing!!! Shishcablobs!!

Legolas looked at the water. It was beautiful, rippling as different leaves blew in the breeze and landed on top, for it was fall. Legolas sighed. He looked past the trees that were behind the lake. He seemed oblivious to anything around him. But suddenly, he caught sight of something. He strained to see what it was. It was so far away, but his sharp eyes picked up the movement easily. A white flash went through the trees. He stared, waiting for the movement, but it did not come again. He wandered what it was, but didn't bother to get up to find out. If whatever it was got closer and posed as a threat, he could easily get his bow and arrows out. Apparently, he would not need them tonight. As dusk approached, he stood up and began the walk home. He walked along silently. Since darkness was approaching, he was extra careful as he walked. Suddenly, he saw a quick flash of white through the trees in the distance. He stopped and looked for the flash again. It came in a minute. He followed it quickly. He came closer and closer, and noticed something about this being. It had long blonde hair and a flowing white gown. He could not be sure it was an elf, or a female one at that, because of previous mistakes.

*~*flashback*~* Sunday morning. Legolas groaned. He had been out late the night before partying and got a little bit tipsy, to say. He mistook Elrond for a girl. He saw long dark hair and a flowing robe. He knew that Arwen and Elrond had dark hair so it was not outrageous for an elf to have that color of hair and a flowing gown/robe (your preference). You can't blame poor Legolas for his mistake! He was just a little bit drunk from a party he had been to and that stupid outfit Elrond had on really looked like a dress from the back!

*~*flashback to present *~*

Elrond wasn't too happy about that one.

He climbed a tree, looking down upon this creature who was resting by a stream. Indeed it was an elf, a beautiful girl too! Legolas, being unmarried and into ladies, looked at the elf in amazement. He was so awestruck that he lost his balance and fell out of the tree with a thud, landing right next to this young elf. She let out a small yelp of surprise but soon smiled for she found what she had been looking for.

"Prince Legolas of Mirkwood," she said. "I have been looking for you."

Legolas stared in amazement. 'Who is this lady? Where did she come from? How does she know me???' He thought. He was just a little bit caught off guard and slightly frightened. He replied to her, "It is I, but what do you want from me? Why were you looking for me?"

The mysterious lady just smiled and said, "Follow me."

*~*~* please review! Just hear the button calling you. "Click me! Click me!" quoth the button. No flames please. They are annoying. If you don't like it, read or write something better. Any flames will be sent to their original source in hopes that it burns them alive!!
