YIKES! Where does the time go???! I haven't updated this in over a
month...well grab a tissue box because this is the Finale! Ok, here we go
for the final installment to this sadly, too-short story I wrote in the
beginning at the spur of the moment---
(Well, hope I get reviews, I love them! And yes, my years might be off on this, so don't judge me on how Frodo and Bilbo shouldn't be here or Sam and Rosie have one too few kids...geez they have a lot, anyways here it it:)
Tiptoe with the Elves!
--I don't own LOTR obviously, I just love it with all my heart!!

The group of little girl hobbits and that unmistakable elf were all practicing behind the little stage the hobbit men built for the ballet performance. The curtains were closed and the group of dancers were huddled around their teacher, Mrs. Bracegardle.
"Ok, girls---and boy," She said and the youngest hobbits laughed, "This is the special day, so make it the best! You're all going to do wonderful, just remember what we've learned. You all are talented dancers!" She said inspirationally.
The girls giggled excitedly and went to go put their wings on. Legolas was already dressed and was practicing his routine. He didn't dare peek at the audience past the curtain, knowing he would get nervous thinking about all those hobbits watching them.
Frodo, Bilbo, Sam, and Rosie walked over into the line to get their seats. It was packed of fathers, mothers, relatives, and just hobbits that wanted to see a dance recital play. Young children hobbits were passing out programs and they sat down, saving a row of seats.
Sam glanced at the program, "Look! Look! Elanor's name is in here! Oh and look! It says she has a duet in the play! She never told me! Oooh, my little girl is keeping secrets from me! These little children of mine are going to make me proud!" Samwise said, beaming about his little girl. Rosie was rocking their baby Frodo, and she had her hand on her round stomach.
The seats slowly filled up and everyone was talking busily about the upcoming performance. Then a hush of silence went though the group of hobbits and Frodo and Sam stood up and waved the big (secret) group over.

Legolas took a deep breath and held Elanor's hand as they waited on the side of the stage. Mrs. Bracegardle was talking to the group of hobbits that would be playing the music for the dance. Elanor grabbed Legolas's leg.
"Are you scared?" She asked nervously.
"I am not all that scared, just a little nervous. But remember, dear Elanor, these people are out here to see you dance beautifully so you don't need to be nervous at all. It's all fun," He assured her and she jumped on her tippy-toes.
"You are going to be pretty too, Legolas! And there are people waiting out there to see you too!!" She said excitedly.
Legolas smiled and nodded at her sweetness. He thought she meant her papa and Frodo, but he had no idea what she really meant.
The music started and the girls lined up on the side in the order they would come out. When Mrs. Bracegardle signaled them out, the little hobbits danced their way gracefully out and the audience applauded loudly. Elanor was the third on out and Sam stood and clapped loudly and she waved back for a brief moment. The little girls did a pleasant routine and the audience loved it. The orange and red 'butterflies' danced in the middle until they cleared for the biggest butterfly to come out in the middle.
Legolas stepped out with a flowing motion and did the most impressive job yet. The audience cheered and the little butterflies tiptoed and danced out of the way and little 'yellow butterfly', Elanor, did a pirouette to the middle with Legolas. Their duet was the best of the whole dance. He picked her up, tutu and all, and turned her around smoothly in the air. He threw her up lightly and placed her down when the rest of the girls had reentered the floor.
Finally after an entertaining half hour of the girls graceful dancing, the music stopped and the hobbits stood up and applauded the loudest they could. The ballet dancers joined hands and took their bows. Elanor grinned and grabbed Legolas's side, "Look! Do you see them?!? Is that Gimmie? The hairy dwarf?"
"Gimmie? Who's---?" Legolas said and finally looked at the back of the audience and his jaw dropped. There was two rows full of his own kin and friends. There was his Mirkwood family, Sam, Frodo, Bilbo, Rose, and of course, Gimli (or Gimmie). But even more surprising, there was King Aragorn, Queen Arwen, and the most important people of Rohan and Gondor.
"I told you Legolas, I told you they'd come!!! Dada knows the King of Gondor and he told me he had connections!!!" Elanor giggled and Legolas swooped her up and bowed one last time.
