To See the Lights All Faded.

Chapter Three: Luthien and Beren.

A loud thump and banging noises can from the kitchen, alerting the sleeping (he slept during the day) Legolas that someone was in the apartment. Hurrying up, he headed to the kitchen, bow in hand. Aiming towards the open window, he looked around, surprised to see nobody for a moment, until a figure rose from behind the island kitchen counter.

"Don't shoot!" Artemis stood across the kitchen, picking up pots she had knocked over. "Door was locked so I came in the window. Sorry. And since when do you carry around a bow? Get a gun for goodness sake, Greenleaf." Legolas' jaw dropped.

"Wha-? Are you stalking me or something?! Since when do you call me Greenleaf?! Have you been talking to Elladan?!" A strange sense of déjà vu came over the situation. Artemis shrugged a bit like it was nothing and headed off towards the refridgerator.

"Elrohir told me that's what Legolas means. And no, I haven't been talking to Elladan. Something tells me you guys are keeping something from me though." She pulled out a can of pepsi and opened it on the counter. "I've decided to take you all out for dinner and try to figure it out. Thought, not before eating you out of house and home just before rummaging every closet in the whole apartment." Legolas frowned.

"Where you in my room this morning? I want my clothes back! You have a perfectly wonderful girly wardrobe at home. I want my clothes to stay on me! ME! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!" His comments were cut off by the door opening and Artemis sweeping past him to twins, now inside.

"Hey guys! We're going out to that Italian place for dinner! Get ready!" She paused. "Yes. Two such sweet Elves as Elrohir and Elladan shouldn't mind Italian at all. Especially one's with such sweet twins personifying them." She grinned, trying to keep the twins protecting her from Legolas' bow, still partway aimed.

"Eh.. we're- umm.. we're knowledgable on the fact that the twins weren't Elves. They were Elves, Men, and Maia all in one." Elladan said in a hurry, fixing his small slip easily. Elrohir nodded.

"Quite true, but what would Luthien Tinuviel know of being Maia? Wait.. she was Maia. Geez, Artemis. You should know that." Artemis frowned at Elrohir's comment. "We'll be ready in a moment then. And you wanted to rummage my closet? I doubt you want to wear any of it. Its not all too feminine like Legolas' clothes." To that, Legolas hissed loudly, tossing down his bow and crouching like he was going to pounce. Laughter errupted, broken only by Elladan's questioning.

"Since when is she Luthien, Elrohir? I mean, Tinuviel was beautiful." Artemis frowned.

"Stop it. I'm not that ugly." She covered her face, giggling slightly. Legolas bounded over, moving her hands.

"Must say I disagree with the twins. Don't take that the wrong way though. I have a girlfriend, unlike some people." Elladan and Elrohir frowned and Legolas continued. "Well.. I don't but you get the idea."

AN: Legolas fans, don't get too excited. Legolas STAYS single forever. **nod**
