As the sun began to peek over the mountaintops, the two companions stopped their idle storytelling.
"Shall we go now to The Shire?" Sadia asked. Legolas smiled.
"We shall go to where ever you wish us to go," was his answer. Sadia couldn't help but laugh, and nodded.
"Then I wish for us to go and visit the Hobbits. Quite fascinating creatures I have heard. Are they very different from Elves?"
"Only in their size, and that they are mortal. They are very playful and very kind. Except, of course, after they miss one of their so many meals," Legolas explained with a small laugh. Sadia only looked confused, so Legolas explained about the Hobbit's two breakfasts and all the other numerous meals that they took in the day. Sadia listened with rapt fascination, laughing at how Legolas described his friends' hunger. Soon, they arrived in the Shire. Sadia watched, intently, as the Hobbits scrambled to do their day's work. They look so cute! Like little children. A pity that they have so short of lives. She thought. Legolas watched her carefully, gauging her reaction. Soon, they arrived at the home of Frodo. From inside numerous voices could be heard, and the rich smell of food floated out the window. Legolas stooped low and knocked on the door. Not even a minute had passed when the round door opened to reveal a small Hobbit.
"Legolas! Friend, is it really you?" The Hobbit yelled, running toward the Elf who now stooped lower, allowing Frodo to run into his arms and hug him as hard as his little body would allow. Three other Hobbits appeared at the door. The faces of all three registered first surprise, then sheer happiness as they followed their friend's example and launched themselves into the Elven Prince's arms. Overwhelmed, the Prince fell over and four Hobbits scattered. Laughing they picked themselves up, dusting their clothing off.
"It is good to see you, old friend. Come, you're just in time for second breakfast," Frodo said, gesturing into the small house.
"Ah Legolas, who is this fair maiden? Your Princess, perhaps?" Pippin asked, noticing Sadia for the first time. Legolas only laughed.
"No, no, my friend. She is not my Princess, though a Princess indeed. She is travelling with me, back to her own kingdom." Merry and Pippin shared a knowing look, though they nodded their agreement with Legolas's claim. Legolas rolled his eyes, resigning to pull them aside later and tell them the full story. But, for that moment, he contented himself with introductions.
"Well, the more the merrier, I've always said. Please, come in." Frodo said, once the introductions were over with. Sadia smiled and thanked him. Legolas gestured for her to go ahead of him with an elegant bow.
"Be careful, milady, the door 'tis very low. We would not want you to bump thine head." Sadia smiled at him, and ducked into the door. Legolas turned and followed her, not ducking quite soon enough and bumping his own head upon the top of the doorframe. Sadia smiled, trying to hide her laughter. But the shocked look on Legolas's face was far too much, and finally she lost her control, doubling over with laughter. Legolas glared at the Princess.
"Very funny, your highness. That hurt," he joked.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Legolas. Here, let me take a look," she answered. Legolas bent down, allowing her to examine his head, where a large bump was beginning to form. Sadia stiffened a little at being so close to the Prince. His sent of fresh rain and pine filled her nostrils and threatened to over run her. By Valar, he's gorgeous. A wonder that no maiden has claimed him yet. she thought. But, instantly she shook the thought from her head. That was no way to think about a Prince. And besides, Sadia thought, it wasn't like the Prince would choose her for a wife.
Legolas's entire body tensed when Sadia reached up to stroke his sore head gently. She smelled lovely; the sent of flowers. Her long, slender fingers were gentle as she inspected his head. Legolas waited quietly as Sadia cooed over his injury. A large black and blue area was forming, and Sadia worried about how hard he had hit.
"Oh, Legolas. It must hurt you terribly." She whispered, concern and sympathy etched into her beautiful face. She's actually worried about me. Perhaps I do have a chance at her heart. Legolas thought. But a moment later, he shook the thought from his mind. Why would The Princess of the Elves want him? There was no Middle-Earthly way that she would ever choose him as her King. And with that sobering thought, the Elven Prince of Mirkwood vowed never to speak of this to Princess Sadia. No matter what.
A/N: Ooohh!! Now what's gonna happen??? Trust me, as soon as I figure it out: I'LL TELL YOU!! :) Again: I need to cut down on my intake of caffeine and/or whiskey. Tell me what you think (about the story, not my drinking!) even if you're gonna diss my wonderful creation.
And also: remember to check out my other stories, which are all over this site, in a number of different categories. And, check back here often, 'cuz I'm writing on this almost ever night and I'm gonna try to update the story on this site as often as I can.
BTW: Any of you notice that THIS CHAPTER WAS LONGER!!! YEAH! I DID IT!! :) Okay, I'm gonna go get another Mt. Dew. 'Night all!
