*Sorry I haven't updated in so long! I went on vacation in MN, which was
really fun.
*Anyway, here it is!
**************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
It was the party after Arwen's wedding, and Deidre was having an okay time. After Arwen had introduced her to Eowyn, she had had an interesting debate over swordfighting with the former shieldmaiden. However, Eowyn had been asked to dance by her betrothed, so now, Deidre had no one to talk to.
Well, maybe that wasn't entirely true. Legolas was talking to that dwarf, whatever his name was, but he didn't look too interested in the conversation. But then again, who could blame him? Dwarves were totally different from Elves.
***********
"And as I was saying," Gimli began, but he stopped. It appeared that his friend was not listening. "Legolas? Are you all right?"
"Sorry. I was erm, distracted."
Gimli looked in the direction Legolas had been staring. Deidre was leaning against the opposite wall, watching. "I see. And who is that?"
"Deidre."
"Ah. The same Deidre who you happen to be in love with?"
"Yes."
"She looks bored. Why don't you go ask her for a dance?"
Legolas mused over it for a while. She couldn't possibly be mad at him, after so long. "Here goes," he said to himself as he walked over to her.
********
"Hello," Legolas said when he got over to Deidre, surprising her a bit.
"Hello, Legolas." Why was her stomach getting all fluttery all of a sudden? It's not like she was in love with him. She had spent months convincing herself that she wasn't. And yet her insides felt like there was a million butterflies inside, trying to get out.
"Would you care to dance?" he asked gesturing toward the dance floor.
"Sure," she replied. I mean, it's not like dancing together makes us 'a couple', she thought as he led her on to the dance floor.
But once they started dancing, everything changed. It was like it was only her and Legolas; no one else even mattered, or existed. The feeling of his arms around her was indescribable.
*********
When the party was over, Deidre felt strangely light-headed. As she walked back to her room, she was ambushed by Elladan and Elrohir. "Have a good time at the party, Deidre?" Elrohir asked, snickering.
"I'm sure she did, considering the fact that she was dancing with Legolas the whole time," Elladan replied. "You two make such a cute couple."
"So what if I danced with him?" Deidre asked. "And Legolas and I are NOT a couple."
"Not yet," the twins said in unison.
"Look, I'm tired, and I'm in no mood to argue, so shut up or I'll make sure you're not doing much of anything for the next couple of weeks," she threatened.
"You always were the violent type, dearest sister," Elrohir teased. "Mind your temper."
"Just get out of my way," Deidre said, pushing past them. She really wasn't in the mood for this. Once she got to her room, she locked the door behind her, changed into her nightgown, and went to sleep.
***********
*The feeling Deidre gets when she dances with Legolas is based on my experiences of slow dancing with Drew. * sighs *
*Oh, and sorry for not updating in so long. Things got a bit hectic at my house. And school starts in two weeks! Yay! Too bad I only have two classes with Drew....
*Anyway, here it is!
