When they came to the place that Lilly had had some of the elven lads
set up the targets, Legolas and Lilly took their bows out and prepared
them for their contest. Legolas and Lilly both ended up having the same
lightning fast reflexes with the arrows. Each arrow was aimed with
deadly precision. Both could rattle off three arrows in less than three
seconds. So it was a tie, and Lilly agreed to the tie if Legolas would
promise to go horse back riding with her tomorrow early in the morning
so they could go and sit on Lilly's favorite hill and watch the sun
set: he agreed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That night Legolas and Lilly went to one of her favorite places to sit and watch the sun set and later the stars; it was under a weeping willow. There they sat and watched for shooting stars and talked about what constellations that they knew of. "Look, there's the Big Dipper" Lilly said using her keen eyesight to spot it. "And there is the flying horse Pegasus" said Legolas pointing to it. The night was cool and fireflies were just starting to come out as Lilly gently rested my head on Legolas' chest while he softly hummed a song of distant lands and of the many things that lived there. Listening to him, Lilly slowly drifted off to sleep. After Legolas finished his composition he saw her asleep and decided not to disturb her. Laying his head down on the lush green grass he looked up at the stars and slowly drifted off to sleep beside her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Legolas awoke first and seeing that Lilly was still asleep he carefully lifted her head and set it gently on the grass. Carefully getting up he stretched and breathed in the fresh morning air. "It indeed is a radiant morning"; he said smiling to himself. Seeing some apples in the trees next to him he decided that is what they were going to have for breakfast. So bounding up into the tree Legolas grabbed a couple of apples and lightly jumped down, hearing a soft noise Lilly woke up. "Good morning Legolas" Lilly said looking at him upside down. "Good morning yourself" he said smiling down at her. "I trust that you slept well Lilly". "I did, and what about yourself?" "Better than I have slept in a long while" he said. "Would you care for an apple, just picked them myself". "Why I think I will". So Legolas and Lilly sat under the shade of the apple tree and happily ate until they were content. " Let us go for a ride this morning" Legolas suggested. "That's a marvelous idea Legolas", said Lilly wiping the last few traces of apple from her mouth. "I wonder if the horses are still sleeping?" Lilly asked. "I very much doubt it", said Legolas finishing the rest of his apple. "Well I suppose there is no harm in trying," she said. So they tried. Lilly whistled for Halir while Legolas whistled for Arod. And sure enough they came galloping toward them. Their coats glistened in the bright morning sunlight, and their eyes had their familiar spark to them. As soon as they stopped Legolas and Lilly sprang upon their backs and were off.
