Legolas and A Young Estel

"Legolas, Where are you?" Thranduil yelled time to leave.

Legolas was up in his room making sure everything was ready. He was off to Rivendell with his father and some people from the court. It was Estel's tenth birthday. Finally Legolas thought, Estel will be able to pronounce my name properly.

"Legolas!!" Thranduil shouted.

"Coming Ada!!" Legolas shouted back.

Of course going to Rivendell had a very bad thing awaiting him. Arwen. So it is said she is the Evenstar of her people. Great. I hope she still doesn't have a crush on me. That would ruin everything. Legolas would think back and the one girl he always had a crush on was Gwendil. Well after a few years she finally noticed him. They have been inseparable since. He was still waiting for the day when that would change but it seemed like it was going to be a long time. Still he didn't want Arwen to ruin it.

"Come on Legolas!" Gwendil said. She had burst into his room. "Its time to go! We have to be there for Estel's Birthday!"

"I'm coming!" He said and smiled at her.

"Well everyone's leaving!!" She said "Come on!"

"Okay I'm ready." Legolas said and they walked out of his room.

"Father how long does it take to get to Rivendell?" Legolas asked.

"Well about a week if we make haste." Thranduil answered.

"Oh umm Its that long?" Legolas asked

"Yes. Why don't you go up and ride with some of your friends. You don't want to be stuck with your old Dad, do you?" Thranduil said.

"Yes Ada." Legolas said. He then rode off.

"What was that about?" Gwendil asked

"Just wanted to know when we get there." Legolas answered.

"We have a long time yet!" Gwendil said.

"Umm, Gwendil, I have a question for you." Legolas said

"What?" She asked.

"It's sort of hard to ask." Legolas said.

"Come on tell me it can't be that bad." She said.

"Why don't you hang around with girl elves?"

"Well." She said and she blushed. "Just look at them."

Gwendil pointed at a bunch of she-elves sitting on a carriage.

"It just doesn't seem right to sit on a wagon when you can be on horse back." she said

"That doesn't seem like much." Legolas said.

"No, that's not all. Sitting there putting on make up talking about how pointy there ears are. It's not the life I want. I would rather be out there seeing the world. Exploring getting dirty.. You know, that sort of thing." She said with a sigh. "But I know it will never happen. I was cursed to be a girl"

"Oh." Legolas said.

The caravan stopped at twigh-light and pitched their tents. Legolas went to search for his father. He had something on his mind. Legolas soon found his father's tent and entered.

"Ada, I sorta need to talk to you." Legolas winced. That didn't come out the way he wanted it to.

"What is it?" Thranduil asked.

"Well I had a conversation with Gwendil..." Legolas stumbled. "She sorta brought up a good point."

"What did she say?" Thranduil asked.

"Well she seemed to think that she-elves seem to be very... fake." Legolas said

"What do you mean?" Thranduil questioned.

"Well they just care about their looks and don't do anything other than that." Legolas concluded.

"Well, well. That girl sure has some opinion. But she is wrong, not everyone is like that." Thranduil said "And not every male is a perfect at everything." Thranduil concluded.

"That makes no sense! What do you mean?" Legolas asked.

"Well look at you, you love your hair." Thranduil said.

"So what about my hair?" Legolas asked offendedly.

"Not every elf your age likes washing his hair." Thranduil said kindly. "If Gwendil wants to be a warrior then let her be a warrior. Just because she is a she-elf that means nothing. Remember that."

"Yes Ada." Legolas gave his father a hug and left the tent.

"Welcome to Rivendell!" Elrond said. "It is wonderful to see you Thranduil!"

"The same to you my old friend!" Thranduil answered.

"Leggy-Las!!!" Estel yelled.

"Oh, Valar I though he had grown out of that!!!" Legolas moaned.

"Oh, I have!!! Just wanted to mess around with you. Come on!!!! Lets go see my bug collection!!!" Estel squealed in delight as he dragged Legolas away.

"Well that was interesting." Thranduil said

"One day they might be great friends." Elrond said.

"I can't believe that that." Thranduil replied

Gwendil watched Estel carry away Legolas. She felt sorry for him. Still she was really happy to be home in Rivendell. Time to explore. Her happiness was soon destroyed by her archrival, Arwen. Arwen had a box of chocolates in her hand and a big banner behind her that said Welcome Legolas in bold text.

"So." Gwendil said as she walked up behind Arwen. Arwen froze. "You still trying to get Legolas?"

"Why would you care?" Arwen said in a silky voice.

"Well I for one know Legolas doesn't like preppy nancey things like you." Gwendil said.

"Why not. He probably needs a break from sweaty boring you!" Arwen retorted.

"Well you... you..." Gwendil stammered.

"Ha! I always had the upper hand.... cuz! So watch me win the boy of my dreams." Arwen smiled joyfully at the dance she had shared with him years ago. Well maybe he was more mature now.

"You leave him alone you... you!!" Gwendil started to breath hard.

"I always knew you liked him. You're just not girl enough to get him!" Arwen looked triumphant. Well guess what I'll get him in a blink of an eye!!!" Gwendil left her eyes filling up with tears but her mind planning revenge.

"And this one's my purple beetle, and this one's my yellow beetle and this one's my..." Estel said but was interrupted by Legolas.

"Come on there has to be more important things then bugs!" The human child was annoying Legolas.

"Well let's go see my brothers, the twins!"

Minutes later Elladan and Elrohir were in the room looking at Legolas.

"Well Estel look who came to visit you." Elrohir said.

"Its good to see the two of you.. "Legolas started to say. But at that moment Elrond was heard.

"Estel come here for a minute!!" I'm coming Ada. Estel zoomed off.

"Well." Elladan said. "We just wanted to tell you our sis has a serious crush on you."

"Ya." Elrohir said, "She has pictures of you. She always talks about you."

"Aww, man." Legolas moaned.

"What." The twins asked in unison.

"I sort of like this girl. Her name is Gwendil." Legolas said as he looked down at his feet to stop the twins from noticing he was blushing.

"Well." Elladan said. "She's gonna have her work cut out for herself to get around our sister."

"This trip just keeps going down hill!" Legolas sat in his bed with his face in his hands.

"Oh don't worry.. Ada told us something..." The Twins said and they both grinned.

"What?" Legolas asked.

"Oh we swore we wouldn't tell.. It's about her future... Its hilarious" And with that they left Legolas in his misery.

"Gwendil!" Legolas shouted

"Oh... hi Legolas." Gwendil said. She was not in the mood to talk to anyone. Not even Legolas. That stupid cousin of hers. Why did she have to have a cousin? Why did she have to come to Rivendell?

"Gwendil, what's wrong?" Legolas asked.

"Oh... nothing." She forced a smile "Just tired."

"Okay, go get some rest, then" Legolas said.

Gwendil left Legolas on the famous bridge in Rivendell. It had a beautiful view of the landscape woodland area. Its so beautiful Legolas thought. Lucky Estel for living here... Legolas left the bridge and followed the main path up to the house.

"WELCOME TO RIVENDELL LEGOLAS!!!!" Arwen screamed.

Oh lord Valar please save me!!! Legolas thought.

"I saw you on the bridge, it's so romantic there, isn't it? Were you thinking of me??"

"Umm, no." Legolas said.

"Ohh, of course you were! Just to nervous to admit it. Now come on the chefs have prepared us a private dinner!" Arwen squealed with joy at the end of her sentence.

"Oh joy." Legolas moaned.

"Well hello there." Elrohir said. "You must be Gwendil."

"Sadly I am." She sighed.

"Hey don't get all depressed on me!" Elrohir grinned. "You know many of the Elven population die of depression!"

Gwendil smiled and looked up. There in front of her stood a good-looking Elf.

"Hey Elrohir what did you find?" A voice came from the corner. Gwendil turned out to see another Elf who looked exactly the same.

"Hey its that Gwendil girl!" Elladan said.

"And you must be the twins." Gwendil said.

"That's right." The Twins said

"And may I ask" Gwendil asked, "What you are doing?"

"Ohh well we're..." Elladan said.

"Actually we are looking for thing we can use to prank Arwen." Elrohir said.

"You are, are you?" Gwendil said a mad twinkle was born in her eyes. "May I help?"

"Ohh we never got a she-elf who wanted to help us before!" Elladan said.

"Well let's get to work!" Elhroir said as he his twin and Gwendil left the area to destroy Arwen.

"And I thought about you everyday and every night." Arwen said. As she made sure Legolas stuffed his face with food. "What about you?"

Then finally Legolas cracked.

"Arwen, You are very pretty," He said

"You think so?" Arwen blushed

"BUT I HATE YOU!!!" Legolas screamed, "You are the most annoying person ever! How am I ever supposed to do anything without you breathing down my neck?"

"You really don't mean that do you?" Arwen said she started to cry. "You may have good looks, but you have no heart. I'll get you when you're mature!!!" And with that she left.

"Okay everyone know the plan?" Elrohir asked.

"Its as good as gold!" Gwendil gleamed. "Time for revenge."

"Places then, we'll get sis this time!" Elladan said.

"Remember meet on the bridge after this." Gwendil said. And with that they set their prank in action.

Arwen was walking down a lone path. She was really depressed. Why didn't Legolas like her? Her Ada (Father) told her every day she was a beautiful child. Why didn't Legolas like her? She was taken out of her thoughts by a voice in the bushes.

"Arwen come over here!" the voice said.

"Is that you Legolas?" Arwen said.

"Yup." said the voice. Arwen ran straight to the bush and after two seconds a shrill scream was heard throughout Rivendell.

"Interesting trip, wasn't it?" Gwendil said.

"What are you so happy about?" Legolas asked. Gwendil had a large smile plastered on her face.

"Oh nothing. Legolas I have something for you." Gwendil said.

"What?" Asked Legolas.

At that moment Gwendil leaned over and kissed Legolas on the cheek.

"You kissed me!!" Legolas said as his heart melted and was also really confused.

"Yup." She said as she road away on her horse leaving Legolas behind.

"She kissed me!!"

Bit of a sappy ending but hey. There's more coming trust me Hopper and I have some surprises planned for the next story!!!
