Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
By: Honolulu
Alisa's POV:
I found myself back in the bathroom. I'm pretty sure that from my chest up I was all red from embarressment. Everything was going wonderful, I'm in a elf's room, a prince no less, with just a bathrobe on...yeah right!!! What am I going to do?!? All of my clothes are dirty! I jumped at the knock on the door.
" Lady Alisa, are you alright?" Legolas asked.
" Oh yea! I'm just peachy-keen!" I could feel the sarcasm dripping with my words. I started cracking my knuckles, I always do that when I'm nervous. I heard another knock but not from the bathroom door. I pressed my ear against the door to hear what was happening. Legolas open the door to find Dre.
" I must have the wrong room, I was told Alisa was here." I heard Dre say.
" You are correct. She's in the bathroom."
" Oh, but what are you doing here?"
" This is my room." Legolas answered. Dre raised an eyebrow.
" So what exactly were you two doing before I came here?" She said suggestively. I couldn't believe Dre just said that!
" I beg your pardon?" It seems Legolas couldn't believe it either. I puffed out my cheeks in anger.
" Oh come on, you know what I mean. Were you two getting you--" I cut Dre off.
" We were doing no such thing. Get your mind out of the gutter!" I yelled at her while coming out of the bathroom.
" I had to ask." I glared at her.
" What do you want girl?" Dre brushed past Legolas and entered the room, in her hands were some dresses, I also noticed that she was wearing one as well. The dress she was wearing was beautiful and it looked good on her. " Where did you get the dress?" I had to ask. She smiled at me.
" I don't know exactly, I found it on the bed while I was taking a bath. I found it kind of creepy actually, knowing that someone could enter the room without me knowing it." I agreed with her. " What do you think of the dress?" She said while turning around so I could see the back. The dress she wore was wide sleeves, a full skirt, the whole dress was a green color while the bodice was a dark blue.
" I think it looks good on you." I said.
" I think so too."
" Don't get a big ego now." She walked up to me. I touched the dresses she had in her arms.
" Uruviel gave me these dresses and told me to them to you since we don't have any other clothes." I grabbed the first dress and ran back into the bathroom. I held it against my body. I was always fascinated with the way the elves dressed in the books, it didn't help either when I saw the movies. I heard Dre enter the bathroom.
" You might want to put this on before you try on the dress." She handed me what looked like to be underwear. I just shrugged my shoulders and put them on with my robe still on. I held the dress against my body once more when I noticed something.
" I can't wear this dress." I told her.
" What? Why not?"
" The waist is too small and I won't have enough chest room. Haven't you noticed the most of the female around here are practically flatless." It was true.
" I can fit the dress fine." I rolled my eyes.
" Of course you can Dre. You're thinner than I am. I have more hips than you do plus I'm shorter. I know that I'm not fat but I'm not exactly skinny Dre."
" Why don't you try it on and let's see how you look?"
" I can tell you right now that it won't fit and if it does it'll be /way/ to long. I'm only 5'3, every elf I've seen around here is either 5'7 or taller." I hate being short.
" Let me be the judge of that." I rolled my eyes and gave up. Dre would keep bugging me until I tried it on. I dropped my robe and tried the dress on. Me and Dre had no problems dressing in front of each other, we did it all the time in gym and we're both girls. I had a hell of a time just getting the dress past my hips. " Suck it in girl!" I almost growled.
" What do you think I'm doing?" I sucked my stomach in as much as I could but the dress would not fit. I got the bodice on but Dre couldn't lace it up in the back because it was squashing my chest. Eventually we gave it up and I put back on the bathrobe. " What do we do now? I can't run around in just a robe."
" Let's ask Legolas." I totally forgot about him. Dre walked out of the bathroom to speak with him. I sat on the rim of the tub waiting for her.
Dre's POV:
" Legolas," I found him sitting at his desk. He turned to look at me.
" Yes, Lady Andrea?" Whoa! It felt weird hearing me being addressed like that so...formally.
" I was wondering if you have any clothes that Alisa could borrow?"
" Why do you ask? Is something wrong with the clothes?"
" Something like that. Alisa can't wear the dresses because she's too fat and short." I snickered evilly.
" I heard that!" Alisa yelled from the other room. I rolled my eyes.
" Sorry, she's too...curvaceous." I said finding the right word.
" That's better." She called out. I saw a smile ready to break out on his face.
" I have some clothes that she may use though I don't know how it will be of great use. I will have the maidens measure Lady Alisa so we may have the dresses altered to her size."
" Thanks. Do you also have some scissors or something sharp so we could cut?" He nodded and went to his drawers. While he went to go the stuff I asked him, I looked around his room. Not bad but it's just not home. Just as I started thinking about home Legolas came over to me. He handed me a tunic, pants or what looked like pants and some scissors. I thanked him and walked back into the bathroom.
I found Alisa sitting on the floor and leaning against the tub. She looked tired, hell I was tired too! Hadn't had a decent night sleep since Legolas'-ass-of-a-father put us in those stupid dungeons. She looked up at me and I handed her the clothes Legolas gave. She stood up and put them on. The tunic was too long, it went down to her knees and so were the pants. Alisa told me that they were leggings aka tights.
I grabbed the scissors and hacked away at the tights, excuse me, leggings, until they measured to her form perfectly. I was about to cut at the tunic as well but Alisa slapped my hands away. " It's too pretty to be cut. Leave it the way it is." Is what she told me. Before she put on the tunic though, we had to make some sort of bra so her chest won't be bouncing around everywhere. We used the legging material that I cut off and tied it around her chest. I yawned, I'm so sleepy. I think I'll take a nap soon.
Alisa's POV:
We walked out of the bathroom and faced Legolas. I fidgeted under his stare, I could tell that he was trying to stifle his laughter. I know how strange I must look. I should feel stupid but I was too tired and comfortable to care. " Do you wish to go eat now?" Legolas asked. I looked at Dre and saw her covering her yawn. She was just as sleepy as I was.
" As much as we want to eat Legolas, I think a nap is in order for both me and Dre. We didn't catch a lot of z's in the dungeon. So if you could show us to room with a large bed that me and Dre can share, I'd be so thankful." He nodded his head.
" If you would follow me, I will show you to your room." I nodded and looped my arm around Dre's and followed him out. After a minute or two, he led us to room with, and believe me when I say this, a HUGE bed. Dre ran past me and jumped on the bed. She gave a sigh of satisfaction. I looked at Legolas.
" Thanks for the room, we appreciate it."
" It's not trouble. I shall tell the others that you and Lady Andrea are resting."
" Thank you."
" You're welcome." He gave me that nice smile of his. " Have a nice rest." With that he walked away. After I shut the door, I ran to the bed and jumped on it just like Dre. Dre shifted on the bed and turned to face me.
" This is so weird."
" You're telling. It seems so unreal. I've only dreamed about this place, never in all my years did I think I would actually be here. Think about it Dre. Middle-Earth actually exists!!! This is so cool!"
" It is cool but Alisa...what about home?" I forgot about that. " Our parents are going to be worried sick about us. We won't be going back until three months pass. What are we going to do till then? What if the time is different? We could spend three months here and three years could pass by back home. What do we do?" I lowered my eyes. I didn't know how to answer her questions without worrying her. What was going to happen to us?
" I don't know what's going to happen Dre. All we can do is hope for the best. I don't if that helps but we'll just have to see what the future holds for us." She sighed and rolled away from me.
" I guess you're right." I put my hand on her shoulder.
" We'll be fine Dre. I know we will."
" I hope your right Alisa. I pray to god that you are right." I patted her shoulder and went under the covers. I looked at the ceiling trying to gather my thoughts. I took off my glasses and placed on the nightstand next to the bed. I don't know how long I stayed awake but the last thing I did before exhaustion took over me was give a little prayer and hope for the best.
