DewDrop Saphire: It wasn't THAT cruel, I thought. Otherwise I wouldn't have written it ;) lol. Some of my old friends did that to their cousins.
.........................................................................................................................................
Early the next morning there was some problems getting out of bed. They were leaving at 6:00 which meant that they had to get up at 5:00. Now teens aren't usually morning people, and these 3 sure aren't. The only one who managed to pull herself out of bed at the early hour of 5, was Alexis. She had to do her hair and her make-up, AND she had to say good bye to Oropher. Pippa, however, got up at 5:30 and ended up barely brushing her hair as she ran out the door after her friends.
Once they were all accumulated outside they discussed the travel plans.
"Ok, who's riding on the cart?" Legolas asked. Alexis immediately put up her hand.
"Ok. Alexis is. What about you, Will? Are you walking or riding?" Legolas asked.
"...I donno. I suppose I could ride the cart with Lex." Will said with a shrug.
"I don't want to ride on the cart. The cart is boring and squishy." Pippa said.
"You could ride a horse." Legolas suggested. Bad idea. Pippa's eyes widened and she took a couple of steps backwards.
"Bad idea." Alexis said as Legolas looked at Pippa in confusion.
"Why? What's wrong with horses?" Legolas asked Pippa. She wouldn't say a word.
"Pippa's afraid of horses. Her older brother fell off one when he was younger and broke his arm. She hasn't gone near them since." Will explained. Legolas went over to Pippa and hugged her.
"It's okay. You can ride on the same horse as me. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise." Legolas said as he stroked her hair.
"You promise?" Pippa asked quietly.
"I promise." Legolas replied. Pippa just looked at him and nodded. Now that the travelling arrangements had been made, he got everyone ready. The twins were settled up in the cart, with a horse to pull them.
"The horse will follow me, so you don't need to worry about steering him." Legolas assured the twins. Neither of them had a clue about how to steer a horse. Next Legolas lifted Pippa onto his horse and handed her crutches to the twins. Then he hopped up behind Pippa, who was feeling very weird because they were riding the elvish way, bareback. They started off slowly, so Pippa wasn't so freaked out, although Legolas could feel her tense her muscles and stiffen up when they started moving. Eventually she relaxed and leaned back against Legolas's chest, sometimes falling asleep. Their journey to Imladris was very uneventful, but when they finally got there, they were amazed.
There were beautiful stone bridges over all the waterfalls and river flowing through the elven haven, and there were elves everywhere. The teens were used to Mirkwood where elves weren't as open as they were here. Mirkwood elves tended to keep to themselves. As they walked through the halls the elves all leaned together to whisper something to their friends. Eventually they came to a large staircase where a very regal looking elf was standing at the top. Legolas came to the bottom of the stairs and bowed. The teens looked at this and followed suit, feeling very awkward.
"Good morning, My Lord." Legolas said to the elf as he walked down the stairs towards them.
"Good morning, Prince Legolas." the elf replied. "How was your journey?"
"It was fine, My Lord." Legolas replied.
"I see you have some...passengers." the elf half inquired, looking at the teens.
"These children showed up in Mirkwood 5 weeks ago, and have quickly adapted to our ways." I asked if they would like to come with me and see the other parts of Middle Earth. I hope this is okay with you, My Lord." Legolas replied.
"Yes this is fine with me. As long as they behave themselves." the elf agreed.
"Thank you very much, My Lord." Legolas said.
"Your room is the same one as always, I will have rooms for these 3 made ready by yours." the elf said.
"Thank you, My Lord." Legolas said with a bow as the elf left.
"Legolas who was that?" Pippa asked as they started to climb the staircase in front of them.
"That was Lord Elrond, Lord of Imladris. He is the one who invited me here. I do not know why, though." Legolas said. When they got to Legolas's room the found a note on the door of the room next to his, saying that it were for the children. The twins were in the extra room and Pippa stayed in the same room as Legolas. Once they were settled in, Legolas showed them around the beautiful haven of Imladris. They were walking through the forests listening to Legolas talk about the ways of the elves.
"Every race of elf is different you know. The Mirkwood elves like to keep to themselves as you know, and here they like to gossip and know everybody's business. I never did like the people of the court here. And each race has their own language. There are many different tongues to speak. I know the Mirkwood tongue and the Imladris tongue. I would very much like to teach you." Legolas said.
"Could you? I would love that!" Pippa said.
"Yes! That would be fun! I'd love to speak another language other than French!" Will said in a sort of sarcastic tone. Alexis, however, remained silent.
"What about you, Alexis? Would you like to learn Mirkwood elvish?" Legolas asked.
"I don't know. I failed French, and I tried Spanish but I got a C- in that as well. I've never been good with languages." Alexis replied.
"Well you seem to get the Common Tongue quite well." Legolas replied.
"Common Tongue?" Pippa asked.
"The language we're speaking now!" Legolas said, surprised. "Do you not call it that?"
"We call it English, because the people from England spoke it first." Will replied.
"That is strange. But if the boot fits..." Legolas said. They spent the rest of the day wandering in silence. Eventually they all split up and went their seperate ways, wandering and exploring. The twins ran off on another game of tag, and Pippa and Legolas went and found a large tree to sit under.
"So you know you get your cast off in a week." Legolas told Pippa.
"I know! I can't wait! I've been waiting for WEEKS to be able to wander freely around this wonderful place you live in without being confined to places only a cripple can go. Now I'll be able to climb trees and go swimming again!" Pippa replied.
"I promise, as soon as that comes off, we'll go swimming then climb a tree. Just you and me." Legolas said. Pippa just looked at him and smiled. She leaned her head against his chest and sighed.
"Thank you so much, Legolas." she said, snuggling into him. He put his arm around her and muttered "You're welcome" before kissing the top of her head and leaning his head back against the tree, falling asleep.
