A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. I just back from my cousin's
house, and have been working at the zoo and I'm having a garage sale this
weekend and have been preparing for it, so it has been hard finding time to
update, but, I'm finally back for the next chapter, and I have a lot in
store...
Reviewers:
DramaQueen007: Hey girlie, how was Reno? Hope you had a great time! Thanks for the review!
Lili: You don't have to be so rude. If you don't like what an author is expressing in their story, then don't read it. If you don't like what I am writing, then don't waste your reviews on me.
The Fresh Princess: Thank you! I'm really glad you like it. Would you mind telling people about it? People are telling me it sucks, and I want to see what outsiders think. If you could do that, that would be awesome.
cherryfaerie: I hope you had a good birthday. Thanks for mentioning me. I'll try to make my chapters longer, but I can't make any promises...
Shero: Now that it is summer, I'll be able to update more (crosses fingers).
Banana4422: I couldn't take it any longer. I couldn't stand him not asking her.
Stephanie6: How can you be so sure that she will say yes? I could just become really mean and make her say no...
agaxris: Thank you!!!
nilimade: Sorry if it seems rushed, but this has to happen now in order for all this to work out right. As for more details, I'll try harder, but I have been really busy lately, and it gets a little hectic. I'm glad you like it, though...

Chapter Five
"I...I..." Fonia stuttered, wearing a look of confusion. She had an idea he would ask her this, but she had no idea that he felt that way towards her. Her answer was all planned out in her mind, but it immediately disappeared, and she had no idea what to say. Part of her wanted to say yes, but the other part was saying it was too soon. "I don't know what to say," she replied, looking down at the ground. Legolas took a single finger and slowly lifted her chin up until he could look into Fonia's eyes.
"What does your heart tell you?" He stared into her deep blue eyes as he waited for her response.
Fonia, staring back into Legolas's eyes, thought about all the things her mind was saying, and before she could stop herself, she opened her mouth. "I...I will."
Legolas's eyes danced with joy, and he let loose a big smile. "You will? You really will?"
"Yes." Fonia smiled up at him, and he smiled back at her. She was glad to make him so happy.
"Fonia, please don't tell anyone about this! I'd rather surprise everyone with who I bring, so, if you could, please keep this between us."
Fonia nodded. "As you wish." The few weeks Legolas had at Rivendell flew by fast, and before Fonia knew it, Legolas was leaving for Mirkwood. She stood from the balcony of her room, looking down on him leading his horse out of the stables, when she decided she'd go down and say goodbye to him. She wouldn't see him for almost a week, and it would be very rude not to wish him farewell.
She slowly glided down the stairs, stood in the entrance of her home, and stared at the form of Legolas facing his horse, bidding farewell to everyone else. As if Legolas sensed Fonia behind him, he turned around and met her gaze. Fonia and Legolas slowly walked towards each other. They stopped when they were a couple feet away. Legolas nodded her way.
"May your journey back to Mirkwood be quick and safe." Fonia curtsied deeply, and rose only when Legolas said her name.
"Fonia, thank you." He smiled at her, and turned to his horse, but quickly turned back. "Before I forget, what color is your dress? It is tradition for the prince and his date to match."
"Well, I was hoping to keep it a secret, but if you must know, my dress is sapphire blue and silver." She rolled her eyes at him.
"Sapphire blue and silver...got it." He mounted his horse and took one last gaze at Rivendell. "Well, it is about time I got going. It will take me a few days to get home, so I should probably be on my way."
Fonia quickly spoke up. "You have plenty of food, don't you?"
"Yes, I do. You don't need to worry about me. I'm old enough where I can take care of myself. Thank you for caring about my safety." He turned his horse to the road, and began riding. "Goodbye!" he shouted, and he was gone.
"Well," said Arwen as she stood next to her sister. "We have a few more days until we leave for Mirkwood, and you don't even have a date. We must find you one."
"Thanks, but I think I can find my own date." Fonia smiled at her sister.
"Are you sure? It would be sad if you had to go alone." Arwen sent a concerned look her sister's way.
"Arwen, thank you for your concern, but I am fully capable of finding my own date." Fonia turned and left her sister to go to the archery grounds. She already had her bow and quiver with her, so she just started walking. As she glided past the other elven maidens, she heard whispers of the ball.
"I heard that Prince Legolas asked someone from Rivendell to go to the Mirkwood ball with him."
"Who do you think it was?"
"I heard it was some rich princess."
"I heard that his date with her was arranged when she was born."
"I heard that the prince will announce something really important at the ball."
Fonia gasped at this. "What will he be announcing?" she thought to herself. "He would have told me if he was going to announce something important. Well, they weren't even close to guessing who the prince asked to the ball, so I'm going to assume that it is just a rumor." She kept on telling herself that as she practiced archery, and all through the week until the day before she was leaving for Mirkwood. Was that honestly a rumor, or was he purposely hiding something from her? A/N: Well, what did you guys think? I know it was a little short, but I promise the next chapter will be longer. Please review and tell people about my story! Thanks!
