Sorry I haven't updated for so long, but the comp crashed and lost all the
progress I had made on the story! Here's some advice, save EVERTHING onto a
disk!
After nearly another 2 weeks the final banquet was being prepared. The maids were racing around the palaces and everyone was getting ready for the big night, any excuse for a party was welcome here.
Caitlin was in here room, and Limolas was reading a book next to her on the green sofa.
"Oh great!" Caitlin sighed, "I have nothing to wear for a party, all the things I have are either too big or too small and smell of mothballs!" She sat down next to Limolas and looked down at all the clothes scattered on the floor.
Limolas laughed at the expression on her face, and kicked a parcel out from underneath the chair. Caitlin looked at the parcel and then gazed closer.
'For Lady Caitlin.' It read in silver pen embroidered with green and silver beach leaves. Caitlin lifted it off the ground and tore away the paper.
"Oh my gosh! What is it?" She said inquisitively as she looked at the box inside with elvish written around it.
"First you've got to open it."
"Oh right." She lifted up the lid of the box and unfolded a beautiful aqua marine dress, made of silk. A card fell out. 'To Caitlin hope you like it, I noticed all the others were too big and smelt of mothballs. P.S. May I escort you to the banquet tonight?'
"It's perfect!" She cried tears in her eyes. "Thank you so much! And of course I'll go with you."
"Few, for a minute then I thought maybe Brussel had already asked you." Caitlin shivered at the mention of Brussels name. "No just kidding, he'd probably turn up with a hot pink dress and lime green shoes, and expect you to wear them. But you know I have got the accessories here, I know how important they are for you Girls." He said producing another box from under the same chair, this time filled with matching shoes, jewelry and hair clips.
Suddenly the door swung opened and smashed into the wall leaving a deep dent. Kaitlin was standing in the doorway with a huge grin on her face and a Hot Pink dress with Matching 'cough' Lime Green shoes, swung over her arm. Caitlin stared first at Kaitlin, then at Limolas next to her, he was amazed to, he was psychic, or he had been hanging around Brussel too much.
"Err, Brussel was wondering if you had a spare tux?"
Limolas lent over to Caitlin, "Well, that was weird. I better go and find an old tux for Brussel, a very, Very old tux, one that I won't be expecting back." He looked again at Kaitlin, went around her back and started suggesting something about her brain capacity in sign language, and then left the room trying to stifle bursts of laughter.
It was time to get changed anyway. So they put on their dresses.
Kaitlin worried a little that her red earrings didn't quite go with her hot pink dress, as far as Caitlin was concerned, that was the least of her worries, she even began wondering if Kaitlin had even glimpsed at the shoes yet. Brussel had had the same idea as Limolas except without the dress sense.
Caitlin put hers on to find it fitted perfectly, everything about the outfit was perfect. A maid did their hair and make up and they were all set to go.
There was a knock at the door and Limolas entered, looking gorgeous as normal, and well Brussel, was Brussel. Kaitlin ran straight up to her date grabbed his arm, and pulled him straight down the hallway.
Caitlin was still fiddling with her necklace, Limolas just stared.
"What? Do I have tooth paste round my mouth, or, have I grown an extra head?" Said Caitlin smiling at his expression.
"No, err.You just look absolutely beautiful, that is, even more then usual." He swallowed, walked closer and then whispered in her ear, "Thank God I'm not going with Kaitlin!"
She laughed, "Thank you so much!" He put his arms around her waist and looked into her eyes, he was just about to kiss her when guess who burst through the door.
"COME ON! Oh err sorry?" Limolas scowled at her, Caitlin found his growing dislike of her very funny. "Well, it's just the party's started and Almond needs his other two guests."
All the other guests, who were moving down stairs, looked at Caitlin with envy, she guessed it was probably the mithril, sapphire, aquamarine and diamond jewelry as well as her dress and her rich handsome bloke who, as he said in the beginning, was the Prince of Mirkywood.
As she walked down the hall, she found that something was bothering her. She was 14, and the book said that he was meant to be 2000 or something.
"Um Limolas?" She questioned, "How exactly old are you?"
"No I am not as old as Brussel." He laughed, "I am actually only 17, quite young really, most people think of us at this age as children."
Caitlin sighed with releif, only three years older, she thought about the age difference between Kaitlin and Brussel, 2986 years wasn't. that. much.
The decorations around the hall were incredibly elegant, filled with thousands of little lights and leaves strung around the sides of the halls.
"So who brought the ring here to Divenrale last time?"
"Well there was, Arrabarra, Grandgulf, who then wasn't a goat, BMJ (Borrowmyjacket.) Dido, Notsomerry, spam, and Applepip."
Caitlin was silent for a moment, thinking of those unfortunately named people.
