This is my second story, and I know my writing style isn't very good and stuff, but please give this a chance!
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters except for Laren, although that would would be awesome if I did own them!
anyways.......please review and try to be nice. I know I'm not the best. In face I know I suck, but please be kind.

Laren's POV
I was told to wait upon these visitors from Rivendell. When I got to their camp, I realized that this group of strangers was very outlandish. There was two men, a dwarf, 4 small hobbits, and an elf. For some unknown reason I was fascinated by this young attractive elf. I dont know why. It might have been his long golden hair, or his deep, clear blue eyes, or his graceful walk. Any reason, I was entranced.
Later that night as I was cleaning up the groups camp, I realized I recognized that wonderful elf. It was Legolas Thranduillion, Prince of Mirkwood! I grew up with Legolas. My mother had been a good friend of his mother and we had spent much time together. We were seperated centuries ago when my mother died and I came to live with my father here in Lothlorien. I've been a servant girl here ever since I was old enough. I never thought I'd ever see Legolas again! I'd half forgotten about my childhood friend. But now I see that Legolas has grown quite a bit, as I'm sure I have as well. He had gotten much taller and very muscular. It looked as though he had taken up that interest in archery he had once told me about years ago. I must try to talk to him tomorrow!
.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The next day Laren followed poor Legolas everywhere. He thought he was being stalked by this young servant girl! He would find out soon enough that he was almost right.
It was lunch time when Laren went to clean up the campsite. Most of the fellowship had gone off, wandering around the forest and relaxing in the calmness. But not Legolas. He had not liked the feeling of being watched constantly by a servant girl so he stayed at the camp to talk to this young elven girl. When she showed up, she got quite the earful from her childhood friend.
"Excuse me miss, but have you been the young maiden who has been following me around?" Legolas asked cooly as Laren folded the blankets that had been left for the Fellowship. Laren blushed a slight shade of pink before answering.
"I believe I have. Do you have a problem my Prince?" Laren replied meekly. Legolas was caught off his guard. He did had not known that this maiden knew he was a Prince. He wondered how and why.
"How, might I ask, do you know who I am?" he asked Laren.
"I was your best friend, Legolas! We grew up together! Don't you recognize me?" Laren cried. This really surprised Legolas. This was the last answer he had expected.
"My best friend? Who are you?" he asked.
"You dont recognize me. It's me! Laren!" she said. "Don't you remember me?"
"...Laren?! Why are you here? Why are you a servant?!" Legolas cried as he remembered his childhood friend.
"You know I went to live with my father here after my mother died. Well it turned out that my father wasn't as well off as I had thought. We went into poverty pretty quickly so my father made me get a job as soon as possible. This was the only job I could find. But it's okay. I really don't mind it. And besides! I've met you again because of it!"
"I can't believe this is happening! I'd almost forgotten about you. Sorry. But we haven't seen each other or talked for...well...centuries!" Legolas said as he pulled Laren into a friendly hug. "I missed you so much when u first left. It's like I didn't have any friends. But my brothers were nice to me and they helped me get over it. How did you handle it?"
"I ignored everybody. I couldn't believe that my mother had died and I now had to live with my father who abandoned my mother and I when I was born. I'd never met him before. I was scared, confused, lost, and alone. I had nobody. I eventually learned to fend for myself, but it took a while. But now I'm fine. "

Legolas' POV
When I pulled her into that hug, all I could see was her chestnut hair, and as I breathed in I smelled lilac it were as if I were surrounded by it. The scent made me calm down and relax. It was so wonderful to have my long lost best friend back. But it was so awkward! It's like she hadn't even left. But she had. She'd abandoned me! I'd been left alone. She had been my only friend that wasn't my family. I'd felt so...so...deserted! But now, with Laren just suddenly turning up when I least expected it... I don't know, but when my life got a little crazy with this quest, Laren had a pretty calming effect on me and I don't know why. It's rather peculiar. I guess I'll just have to ponder this later.
"I'm glad to have you back, Lar."
