Lizzie POV

I saw Heather leave the dining room in a rush and a few minutes later, Rumil and Orophin followed her. After a few minutes, Haldir approaches me from his seat next to Heather's empty one.

"Lady Lizzie, come with me. I will show you the way we live our lives in Lorien." He held out his hand for me to take.

"Haldir, I will only go with you if we go with your brothers and Heather." He looked at me as if I were stupid.

"Of course we are going with them. That is why they left to get Heather." I blushed and left before him. We met the trio at a bridge. Heather was wearing a skin tight outfit and the brothers were standing a few feet away from her.

"Hey Heather. Nice outfit." I stood next to her and motioned to the elven men and back at her. But she didn't have time to change because Haldir ushered us off. He led us to a large garden first.

"This is where we grow our fruits and vegetables." I looked around at the carefully planted rows and smiled. It really was beautiful. I spotted a flower garden with a gazebo and stream in it behind the garden. I slowly started walking towards it. I love gazebos. I reached the stream first and bent down to look at the little fish in it.

"Fish." I said, then I remembered my own pets. I tossed the thought away and got up to look at the gazebo. I twirled around and walked into it. Running in a circle, I touched all of the benches in it twice.

"You like gazebos?" A voice behind me said. I screamed and turned around to see who had been watching me. "Don't be frightened. My name is Legolas." He put out his hand and I gave him mine but instead of shaking it, he brought it to his mouth and kissed it leaving me frozen in place.

'Wow! He's even cuter than Orlando!' I thought. "My name is Lizzie." I tried to move but my feet were still glued to the floor.

Heather POV

Oh great, I thought, Lizzie is going to spending the day with his majesty, Prince Legolas. So that left me with the Lorien brothers, aka the Three Stooges. I was hot and sticky and really wanted to take a shower, and Haldir's perverted looks didn't make life any easier. He was just so much better this morning when he wasn't so....what's the word? Statuesque? No. Stoic? Nah. Like a stick had been surgically inserted into his ass? YES!

So Lizzie was MIA with one hot Elf Prince. Rumil and Orophin started to take stones and skip them into the stream...making outrageous and idiotic bets to see who was the best shot. Haldir stood watching everyone like the Nazi Gestapo. And that left me, hot, sticky, thirsty, in dire need of a shower and some deep personal time. I leaned onto one of the rails on the bridge and let the breeze cool me down.

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, this is so boring!" I shouted to nobody in particular. Everyone kind of looked at me. I took off my shoes and looked at the stream beneath me. It flowed pretty deep. Was this the Anduin River? Only one way to find out.

"What are you doing?" asked Rumil as he watched me climb to the top of the rail.

"I, fair Elf man, am going swimming," I grinned cheekily, "You coming?"

Rumil and Orophin had their boots off in an instant and plunged into the river ahead of me. I looked over my shoulder at Haldir, "You coming, Haldy-Poo?" I asked sweetly.

He rolled his eyes.

"Ok then, have fun being all by yourself!" I looked down and found that my two new best friends were a few yards downstream, "Hey you guuuys! Attendez pour moi! Idiotes!" I cried half in French. I dived in to join my friends. When I resurfaced, I heard a big splash behind me, it was Haldir!

"Come on Haldy Poo! Let's get 'em!" I laughed and then took off swimming towards Rumil and Orophin.

Lizzie POV

"Oh Lord." I said after I watched the four jump into the water. Legolas gave be a sideways glance and laughed at me.

"Would you like to join them, Lady Lizzie?" I grabbed onto the bridge that we were standing on.

"Oh no. I can't swim." He smiled and inched closer to me.

"I can't either, but I would try to for you." He gave me the cutest look ever and handed me a blue flower. With the biggest smile ever on my face, I looked down at the stream, hiding it from him. Unfortunately, the stream was so clear, that he saw it anyway. He smiled big too and reached out to brush my hand with his finger. I blushed and turned sideways so that my back was to him.

"Are you alright?" He said, placing his hand on my arm.

"Yes, it's just... I've never had anyone talk to me like that before."

"Then all the other boys must be blind." I could tell from his voice that he wanted to kiss me. I wanted him to, but I had never been kissed before. A shower of drops of water hit us from the stream in front of us. The two elven brothers were in the water looking at us, smirking. "And what are you two doing?" Rumil said, jokingly. "Hey Legolas! Cut to the chase and kiss her already!" They swam off leaving us to laugh at them.
