Chapter 9: Maidens and buff bod snippets
Blythe's pov.
Arwen and I eventually decided on a basic design and fabric by the afternoon. It would be a white silk dress (Arwen was convinced the fabric was 'me' and also coz it may be a bit warm), with a corset top and flowing skirt made also of silk. The ribbon to tie up the coset is to be blue and the skirt will have small blue flowers on it. I didn't want just white. To old fashioned an expected. I wanted to be different. Unique. Out there in a really big way, but still not shock everyone into a heart attack. After that I went outside for some air and to find Vala. I had something really big to ask her.
I walked around for a while, people congratulating me as I went by. It was really nice of them, but I was kinda embarrassed. What would mum and dad think?
I found Vala in the archery fields, practising a 100m shot. She drew back the bow with the arrow in tight, aimed then let go. It hit dead centre. "Good shot!" I said walking up to her.
"Oh, hello there!" she called, putting down her bow and walking up to me. "Thank you."
"No problem. Can I ask you something?" I said, sitting down on the grass, leaning on an evergreen. Vala sat down next to me and crossed her legs.
"Of course. What is the problem?"
"Well, its not really a problem, but, well you know how Legolas and I are well, you know, getting married and stuff. Well I just wanted to know if you'd be the maiden of honour?"
"Oh Blythe! Of course I will!" she said, hugging me tightly.
"Good, coz Arwen wanted to pick out some dresses. I still have to ask the girls something. So, I'll talk to you at dinner?"
"Tenna' san'." (until then), she replied, standing up and walking back to her archery practise, with a bounce in her step.
I stood up also and went in search of Linnende, Philomel, Ilana and Elanor.

Ilana's pov.
Mel and I were having a sword fight (pretend of course) behind the stables, Elanor cheering us on. I block an oncoming blow, twirled around and pretended to stab her.
"oh no! You got me! Ahhhhhhh! I'm dying…dying…dying…" mel said dramatically, eventually falling to the ground, her legs upright in the air. Quite a site.
"Are you alright there?" I asked, doubled up laughing.
"How can you ask such a thing!" she shouted. "…of course I am!" she said, jumping to her feet. From the corner of my eye I spotted Blythe walk around the corner.
"Hello my friend. Have you come to challenge the champion?" I asked, bowing.
"You only won because I let you." protested Philomel.
"Of course you did." I agreed rolling my eyes. "What brings you by?"
"I have come to ask you guys something." She said, standing next to Mel, trying desperately to hold a straight face.
"Fire away." Mel said.
"Well, I wanted to know if you would all do me the honour of being my bridesmaids?" She asked, a sparkle in her eye, as though she was trying to hold back jumping up and down, screaming for joy.
"Really?" squealed Ela.
"Really, I want my friends to be part of this." She replied.
"Count me in." I replied happily. This was so amazing, I had never been asked to do anything like this before.
"And I shall not miss such an event! Do I get to make a speech?" Mel asked. Oh dear!
"If it is your will, then by all means, of course." Blythe replied coolly, maybe a little hesitantly.
"Then I shall do thee such an honour." She replied curtsying.
"Oh, thank you all!" Blythe said, hugging each and every one of us. I never really thought she would make such a big deal…then again, I never thought that she would be the one to settle down so early. She walked off, well ran off I should say, but where to, I had no idea.

Blythe's pov.
I was wrapped that they all agreed so far, I still had one other person to ask. If I could only find her! I must have wandered around for hours, because not long after the dinner bell rang.
I ran up to the dinner hall, not worrying about changing from my green and baby blue tunic, I was only going to eat, and at least I should find Linnende. I really had to give her a nickname!
I walked into the hall, found my seat and sat down. "Coramin lindua ele lle." ( my heart sings to see thee), Legolas said, as I took my seat. I kissed him on the cheek.
"Nae saian luume." (it has been too long) I replied. A day without him had really knocked me about. "After dinner, lets go back to my room, I have to tell you something." I whispered in his ear.
"Manka lle merna." (if you wish) he replied, beginning to eat his meal. I spotted Linnende sitting next to Elrohir. They had hardly left each other's side since we all met up in Mordor. I was surprised they had not announced their engagement. I stood up and walked over to her. I knelt beside her, in between her and Vala.
"Linny, can I ask you a favour?" I whispered to her.
"Of corse, name it."
"Will you be my bridesmaid? I would be honoured to have you in the bridal party."
"Oh! How sweet! Of corse I shall." She said. I thanked her and went back to my seat.

Legolas' p.o.v.
Blythe and I went back to her room after dinner, and sat on her bed. "máni naa tá?" I asked her, looking into those deep, brown eyes that seemed to have me under a spell. (What is it)?
"I just wanted to say: lle melá en' coiamin." (You're the love of my life)
"Melamin, I know, and you are mine. Now what was on your mind?" i asked, I think something may be wrong.
"I just wanted to say that my dress in organised and I have chosen Vala to be my maiden of honour, Linnende, Mel, Ilana and Elanor to be my bridesmaids. Is that alright with you?"
"En rant! Those are your choices. I care not, as long as the marriage is between each other." I laughed inwardly. How could I have been so quick to jump to conclusions. Father had always told me to work through the facts before making a valid and just decision. Just as well I kept my mouth shut.

Blythe's p.o.v.
Legolas and I spent the night together, but nothing happened. I would wait til I was married thank you! I was comforting having him around. He was like a big, soft, hunky, sexy, loveable, romantic safety blanket. I would die if anything would happen to him.
I woke up the next morning. He was still asleep, his arms wrapped around me. I sighed. I was very lucky to have him. I would never take that for granted.
I must have lied there for an hour, off in thought. Legolas stirred and I snapped back to reality. "Quel ré melamin."(good morning) He said, giving me a kiss on the cheek. I spun around to face him, and kissed him, softly on the lips.
"Quel ré. Did you sleep well?" I asked.
"Yé. I was with you, how could I not?"
"Well…" I started but left it there. I didn't want to say to much, I mean, what if I was in the middle of labour. I think he would probably wanna run in the other direction! "Lets get something to eat." I said changing the subject. He just dismissed our previous conversation and got up, pulling on his shirt. His perfect, flawless abs were covered. Oh, he is so fine! I changed into a pink tunic with red leggings and slipped on my boots. "Lets go." I said after quickly brushing my hair and pulling Legolas along to the breakfast hall.

Authors note!
Yes I know that was a short chapter. Don't hurt me! Any floozies, umm…I have to say that I am about to start exams, so the next few chapters may be a little delayed, and then a few days later I go on camp, and then two days later I go to dreamworld (this mega cool theme park on the gold coast which has a few Bengal tigers and a reptar roller coaster and the cyclone and the wipe out and the thunderbolt and…I can't wait!) ahem! Any dewdrops, so there may be a while for another post, but I promise the wedding will be very soon!
Entwife: Thank you darlz!
Platy: Don't beat yourself up dude! You rock! No it won't be over and you will catch up. I'm gonna post two chapters today (I typed them up in advance) so that you won't miss out on too much this week. Consider Squishy yours. Just give me a while. I'd have it sooner, but there is just no time. Sorry!
The stern mystic: Yah! Thank you! Goody, now I can have my plan finally unfold! Uhum………don't mind me, I just had to have the two of you as a couple.
Levanna: I'm not telling……ok…this is really hard…no…must…not…tell…! Yeah, its all kinda sappy and lovie dovie at the mo. Tell Vala thank you and that she is my hero! Blythe's too! Thank you, I like the band name too. At the mo, we are in the middle of writing music for one of our songs. I have come up with the rhythm (strumming on the guitar) for the verses and bridge, coz that's my bit in da band, and possibly now lead singer, coz I wrote the songs and they suit my voice, but I don't wanna! We are now officially a new metal/ heavy punk/ metal band. Coolness!
