Cindy Ellenshare's inbox had just received an email.
A girl named Ankara Lira popped up the email. There had never been any incoming mail into this box before. She was puzzled.
As she read the email, she felt her stomach knot up. This wasn't supposed to happed! Why did he reply?
I knew I never should have sent all those emails! I can't believe her thought they were real! She fretted.
Ankara was a very pretty elven girl with long brown hair and green eyes. She wore a dress of green velvet with golden trim. She lived in a small elven village right near Mirkwood. And for the last 6 months she had been sending incredibly annoying emails of love to the prince of Mirkwood under the name of Cindy Ellenshare.
And why? 'For my enjoyment and his annoyment,' she would respond when asked.
But he wasn't supposed to email back! And to ask for a date! Maybe he knows! She thought desperately. He hands felt clammy. She knew there was only one thing to do. With resignation she emailed him back. Then, she put on her cloak and headed to the deepest part of the forest.

Legolas had been waiting for 25 minutes in the area where Cindy had told him to meet her. Though he really wanted to do anything but be near Cindy he couldn't run now. He tried to hide his nervousness by (somehow) plugging in a playstation and playing whatever game he had bought the previous day.

The screen was the only source of light in the forest now. Legolas had his hat on, so his over-gelled hair did not emit its usual blinding light. Ankara had never traveled so deep into the forest, and so had gotten lost several times on her way.
As she, yet again, stumbled on a tree root in the path she caught sight of a flickering light. Hypnotized like a deer in headlights or a moth near a lightbulb, she walked toward it. It was blueish and with every step getting closer. Her thyought wandered and she pulled her cloak tighter around herself as she approached the source of the light. Suddenly her wandering thoughts were broken by a shout.

"Oh yeah! Fifth level, baby!" Legolas suddenly shouted. He did a short 'very manly' victory dance and then sat down to continue his game. As he sat down, though, his ultra sensitive elf ear picked up foot steps. Out of the corner of his eye he thought he saw something move.
"Who's out there?" He called into trees.
Slowly someone in a cloak moved out of the shadows.
"I think you know me as Cindy Ellenshare," was her reply.
