A/N I am soooooo sorry for not updating last week. I've been kind of busy and my brain was fried. So, now, a wonderful reviewer has given me an idea, and I'm going to use it. Thanks to Radiion-HobbitWarrior. I hope you don't mind me using your scene. (

Responses:

Hex: so glad you're back!! Where did you go? TKF and I missed you.

Radiion-hobbitwarrior: I'm glad you picked up on my hints. Hee hee. I'm using your idea. So thank you, and if it bothers you, tell me in a review, and I'll take down this chapter and rewrite it. I am changing it a little. Hope you don't mind.

Feanen: thanks

TKF: wow, thanks. I'm updating, are you happy? I've found my groove? I FOUND MY GROOVE EVERYBODY!!! Sorry. You aren't going to tell Kevin some evil things are you? Meany.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~Ch.8~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Elrond stepped out of the shadows. "I trust you had a good trip." Meleth smiled mischievously. "Please step inside."

Meleth and Mattes stepped into the great hall. "My name is Lord Elrond Halfelven. I'll have a servant show you to your rooms."

"Rooms? Two rooms? No offence meant, my lord, but we only need one." Meleth interjected.

Mattes' eyes widened and he elbowed Meleth, hissing, "Meleth! That is not something you say to an Elven Lord!"

Meleth looked very confused. "What? It's the truth. If he gives us two rooms, one will just go to waste."

Elrond smiles knowingly. "Ah, to be young again. I do believe you two will have two separate rooms, next to each other. What you do is up to you."

Meleth pouts and sniffs, "Well, if that's the best you can do."

A servant appeared from behind a tapestry and bowed. "If miss and sir would follow me, I will show you to your rooms."

Mattes and Meleth followed the servant to their rooms. Meleth walked into hers and was dumbstruck.

The room was done in white. The sheets on the four-poster bed were silk and the comforter was heavy. She couldn't wait to snuggle into it tonight. She walked onto the balcony and looked out into the garden below. Every flower imaginable was represented. Meleth walked through the billowing draperies and curled up in one of the big white chairs. Before she knew it, she was asleep.

While Meleth was discovering the pleasures of her room, Mattes was doing the same in his room. It was exactly like Meleth's, except it was done in green, not white. He thought it was a bit unnerving Lord Elrond knew his favorite color. Little did he know, Lord Elrond and Lady Galadrial were very close. And there was a reason Meleth's bedroom was white.

Mattes opened the wardrobe and looked at the elven clothes hanging in there. There was a note from the fitter pinned on one of the outfits. It said she would be there tomorrow morning to fit his clothes. #Wow# he thought #clothes tailored just for me#

He walked into Meleth's room to find her fast asleep in the chair. #She looks so peaceful# He picked her up and walked with her to the bed. He sat against the wall at the head of the bed and laid her down next to him. He wriggled down to lay next to her and gathered her in his arms. Meleth sighed and snuggled up to his chest. Before Mattes knew it, he was asleep with Meleth in his arms.

~*~*~*~*~a couple hours later~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A maid walked into the room to help Meleth get ready for the welcome feast. She screamed and ran out, shrieking something incoherent in Elvish. Mattes slowly opened his eyes to see Meleth looking at him. His eyes widened, taking the sight of her in. Her skirt was very wrinkled and hiked up. Her blouse was hanging off one shoulder. Meleth was seeing Mattes' shirt very wrinkly and his pants were just about falling off.

At that moment, Lord Elrond walked in and chuckled. "You two weren't joking about the rooms, where you?"

Meleth jumped about three feet in the air and landed in Mattes' arms. "No sir, you don't understand, sir," she stuttered.

"It's not what it looks like. Meleth fell asleep in the chair, so I was putting her on the bed when I fell asleep too. I guess we were both really tired. I don't know why we look like this, but I can assure you nothing went on here," Mattes explained.

"Be as that will, you two need to get ready for the feast tonight. I believe you will find soap in the bath pool and clean clothes in your wardrobe. Someone will be by in about 20 minutes to help you get ready," Elrond was interrupted by Meleth and Mattes passionately kissing each other. He chuckled and left quietly.

A/N there you go!! Next chapter is the feast/ball thingy!!! Review!!
