A/N: Wow you guys! So many reviews! Sorry it took so long. I'll give you my excuses.

I'm in this musical called Once On This Island, and we have rehearsal a lot during the week, and are going to start having it some Saturdays too. I've been getting my costume together, learning my parts, learning the dances; it's a lot of work.

The teachers are giving a lot of homework. Once more, I'm working on this huge WWII project, and there's this math project coming up, and a science one. WAY to much school work going on.

I have a lot going on in my personal life, like my boyfriend and my friends and my family. I need to spend time with them, which I want to do.

As you can see, I have a lot of stuff I have to do. I'll try to update at least once a week ok? Review responses are at the bottom. I do not own LOTR.

Chapter 2: Not so peaceful

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Over the past few days, things with Legolas and Estel hadn't been going to well.

Actually not going well is an understatement.

So far the two had managed to break three vases, injure four elves, fall two stories from a lower balcony, and had spilled a large thing of wine on Glorfindel.

Yeah things weren't going to good.

They managed to get into arguments about the stupidest things. Currently, it was what weapon was better.

"A sword is much better then a bow! With a bow you can just hide away in trees! It's cowardly!"

"A bow takes a lot of skill! How much skill does it take to swing a sword? Just swing it around and hope that it kills someone! Sure THAT takes a lot of skill!"

Estel tackled Legolas. The two ended up rolling on the ground. Glorfindel sighed. He was supposed to watch them today, to make sure they didn't get in trouble. 'Why me?' he thought to himself.

The three of them were currently outside in one of Rivendell's most beautiful gardens. There was a small stream flowing near them. Scattered around them was a blanket of blue, purple, red, and yellow wildflowers. Trees scattered around the area, standing tall and proud. The birds sang songs in them, and it was a clear day with blue skies and a bright sun.

It was so peaceful. It was one of the elves favorite places to be. Today though, nobody was there, for Estel and Legolas were together again, and in that garden.

As the day wore on, slowly, the fights became more personal. Glorfindel had fallen asleep. Yes, he had fallen asleep.

The reason was perfectly understandable. Estel and Legolas had been fighting well into the night, and when Glorfindel had come to put a stop to it, he had been met with a book hitting him straight in the head. Lord Elrond had punished the two by making them clean up the library, which sadly, was located next to Glorfindels room. As you could tell, he was exhausted.

Another argument was brewing. Who knew how long THIS one would last.

"At least I don't have long blond hair like some girl!" Estel shouted viciously.

"Well at least I bathe more then once a year!" Legolas spat.

The two began to circle each other. Before anything could happen however, Elrond appeared and took the two inside.

"I want both of you to stay away from each other. Estel, you go back out to the garden with Glorfindel. Legolas, I want you to go out in the back garden. Go!"

Legolas and Estel quickly left the area. Elrond rubbed his temples. This would be a long two weeks.

Legolas angrily stormed to the back gardens. As he walked, he thought of new ways he could insult Estel. That human was nothing but trouble.

As he entered the garden he calmed down. There was a small four foot high waterfall near the entrance. He walked through the beautiful yellow flowers and climbed a tree. He smiled as he looked across the garden.

He sighed and leaned against the trees thick sturdy branches. The wind brushed his face and he smiled. He had forgotten of the peace Rivendell had. He closed his eyes as he remembered the first time he had come.

It was then he had become friends with the twins.

Legolas sighed again as he watched night fall. He wondered where the twins were. 'Probably off trying to find out a new way to make Glorfindel miserable,' he though before smiling again.

Legolas didn't know how long he sat in that tree. The next thing he knew, the stars were out, sparkling like diamonds in the velvet blue sky. The wind was no longer blowing, and it was calm all around him.

Elladan called up to Legolas. Legolas started and nearly fell out of the tree. He grabbed a nearby branch to stay aloft.

Elladan laughed. "It is not like you to be so unaware of your surroundings Mellon Nin!" he said.

"I was thinking!" Legolas said back, dropping from the tree.

"About that. You should really think about how you treat my brother."

"Elladan-"Legolas started to say.

"I know it's hard for you Legolas. Your mother and brother being killed by humans is not an easy thing to deal with but please, try to accept Estel. He is only a child. He wasn't even alive when it happened! Legolas, you're still a child yet! Please, just don't judge him by what his kin did."

Legolas looked at the ground. The burning hatred he had felt was turned to sorrow remembering his eldest brother and mother.

"It is time to eat," Elladan finally said, breaking the silence between them. "My ada wants you and Estel to apologies to each other for acting the way you did."

Legolas looked up.

"Also, he wanted to announce that you, me Elrohir, and Estel are allowed to go on a hunt tommorow," Elladan finished with a smile.

Legolas smiled too. He always loved going on hunts. He heard someone approaching.

"Ada says he wants you to get inside right now before the rest of us eat all the food," Elrohir said.

The two smiled and they entered the palace together.

Estel was now looking straight at Legolas. They had finished eating, and it had been a most happy meal. Now he knew he had to apologies for his earlier actions. "Sorry Legolas," he said in a quiet voice, though all the others caught the statement.

"Sorry Estel," Legolas said. He wasn't as mad at Estel as he had been before, but he still didn't like him, or trust him. You can't go living almost all your life hating humans and suddenly like them. No. You couldn't have witnessed your mothers and brother's death by human hands and forgive a human. It wasn't possible to do so that easily. This the twins knew.

They knew it would take a lot more to get the two to be friends.

As the night wore on, Elrond finally said it was time to sleep, for the hunting party would set out at dawn the next day.

Who knew one hunt though, would change so much.
