Hey! Thank ya'll so much for all the reviews! You guys rock!
To answer one of the reviews that asked if Gelmir knew that Elrond had some sindarin in his family: Well' lets just say Gelmir never paid much attention in his history lesson.
I'm really sorry aboyt all the words I've misspelled but you see, I'm dyslexic, so this kind of stuff just happens sometimes. Sorry.

Chapter 2
Later that evening, when Estel and Legolas were cooling off by a small pool, Estel asked a strange question. "Legolas, you said you came here with your Ada, right?" Legolas smiled and nodded. "Well, you have told me a lot about your Ada, but what about your Mother? You never said any thing about her?" Estel was not trying to be nosey, and to both children it was not a nosey question.
But Legolas did look a little flustered. "She left..." He said in such a small voice that Estel was not sure he had heard him right. "She left?" EStel said softly to himself. He had never heard of a Mother simply getting up and leaving before. "Where did she go?" Estel finally asked when Legolas didn't offer to explain.
"She died.... Ada said that means that she went to live in the Blessed realm, but we can not go to visit her there." The answer came as if it had been told to him many times. Estel saw tears start to gather in Legolas' eyes. "I don't have a Mother ether." Estel spoke the words without even thinking about it. It seemed odd to Estel that he would speak about his Mother with someone he had only known for a day. He had known Elladan and Elrohir for as long as he could remember, and he still could not talk about his Mother with them. But Legolas was different. Some how.
Legolas looked up. "But I do have my brothers. And they always cheer me up when I'm sad and missing her. Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"I had a baby brother, but the orcs that killed Mommy, killed him too."
Estel watched the elf that only a few minutes ago was laughing and playing, now trying his best not to cry. A thought came to Estel, He sat down next to Legolas and gave him a friendly hug. "I'll be your brother."
"Really?" Legolas asked, brightening at the idea. He then frowned. "Can you do that? Be someone's brother even if you have a different Ada?"
Estel scratched his head. "I don't see why not."
"I'd like that. And we'll be brothers forever, won't we?" Legolas asked.
"Yeah, forever." Estel repeated happily.
So that is how it started. Estel and Legolas remained friends for the rest of their lives in middle-earth, and after in the blessed realm. As for Gelmir and his friends, well... when they returned home they met the wrath of not only their Mothers when they heard about what happened, but also the wrath of Lord Elrond and King Thranduil.
The End
Well, what do you think? Good? Bad? Ugly? Maybe you want to give me a review or an interpretive dance? Never mind on the dance, but I'll take the reviews!
