This is my first story. Please tell me if you like


Middle Earth 1236

It had been about one hour before Legolas and Haldir finally picked out a ring for their girls, with the help of Lady Galadriel. Legolas picked the white gold ring with a gold strip going around it with a diamond in the middle. Haldir picked the white gold ring and had silver leaves going around it and a diamond in the middle. They were all pleased with their choice and Galadriel was glad that they just picked a ring. It took Haldir about 15 minutes to pick his ring, it took Legolas the whole hour to make sure that Lori would absolutely love it.

Meanwhile, Lori and Whit were asleep in their talons, or so we thought. Lori was up in the kitchen attempting to try and make hot chocolate. Lori was looking up and down in the cupboard trying to find an ounce of chocolate.

"What kind of person has no chocolate?" Lori asked herself.

"A person that doesn't eat chocolate," said a person behind Lori.

"Then what is the point of making hot chocolate?" asked Lori as she turned around. Legolas was standing behind her and looking at her. He was hiding her ring from her, because he was going to ask her later in a more romantic setting.

"You and your crazy drinks," said Legolas walking over to Lori and putting his hands on her hips.

"It's not crazy it's chocolate!" said Lori giving Legolas her sad eyes.

" Awwwww, poor elfling," said Legolas.

Then Legolas picked up Lori and took her to Legolas' bed. He laid her down and then went to the kitchen and when he came back he had some hot chocolate.

"I thought you said you didn't have any!" said Lori in shock.

"My brothers and I hid it when my father was in a meeting one day," said Legolas.

" Aren't you just the little devil," said Lori as she took a sip of her hot chocolate. After swallowing, looked up and said,

" Where did you learn how to make this?" asked Lori.

"Is it really that good?" asked Legolas.

" Yeah!" said Lori.

Legolas took a sip of the hot chocolate and looked amazed at what he had made.

" You look amazed at what you made," said Lori.

" Because I usually don't make anything that well, much less hot chocolate," said Legolas.

" Strange," said Lori.

They laughed.

" I've never met anyone quite like you before," said Legolas.

" Same here," said Lori.

" Remember when we watched that pirate movie with the rest of your friends?" asked Legolas.

" Yeah."

"Well what would be your favorite movie?"

" Out of all the movies that I have seen?"

"Yes."

"Well I would have to say... Lord of the Rings," said Lori.

"What is that about?" asked Legolas.

'Oh no. What am I going to say?' Lori asked herself.

"You'll find out," said Lori.

"How long will I have to wait to find out?" asked Legolas.

" FOREVER!" said Lori.

" Oh no!" Legolas said sarcastically.

"What will we do for the rest of eternity?" Lori asked.

"Well you could do me a huge favor," said Legolas taking something out of his pocket.

"What might that be?" asked Lori.

Legolas got up off the bed and then down on one knee. Lori was looking at him with a puzzled face. Legolas then opened the ring case and said,

" Like I said before I have never met anyone like you before. I love you with all my heart. If anything were to happen to you I think I would die the minute I heard the news. Would you do me the honor and marry me?" proposed Legolas.

Lori looked at the ring and then at Legolas, the ring, then Legolas, the ring, then Legolas. Finally she said,

" Are you sure you want to marry someone mentally unstable?"

" Never been more sure in my long life," responded Legolas.

" YESSS!!!!!!" shouted Lori so that all of Lothlorien could hear her.

She jumped to Legolas and they hugged for about five minutes then Legolas pulled away to put the ring on her finger.

" It's a beautiful ring," she said admiring the diamond and the gold wrapped around it.

" Does anyone else know about this?" asked Lori.

" I suppose some knew I was going to purpose, not all," said Legolas.

" What I mean is, does Whit know, does your family know, do those girls who hate me because I'm with you know?" asked Lori.

" No, no, and not unless they have been stalking us."

" So I guess my father wouldn't know, of coarse why would he care in the first place...oh well," said Lori.

" Let's not think about your father at the moment, lets think about... what we're going to do for our wedding," said Legolas changing the subject.

" Getting a little ahead of yourself aren't you Skippy?" asked Lori.

" It's never to early to plan," said Legolas.

" Alright!" said Lori.

The next morning Lori and Legolas woke up excited and enthuastic to tell the world that did not know anything about it. The first stop Lori was going to make was to Whit while Legolas went to go meet up with Haldir. Lori ran to Whit's talon at about six o'clock in the morning to tell her.

Lori knocked on the door. She waited there then she knocked again. 'Whit cannot be this heavy of a sleeper' Lori thought. Then she just knocked until Whit answered. Whit opened the door and responded with,

" What do you want?" she snarled.

Lori took one look at Whit with her hair a mess, and dark circles under her eyes.

" What happened to you?"

"I just fell asleep FIVE MINUTES ago!" said Whit.

" Someone needs some heavy sleeping pills," said Lori as she came in.

Whit shut the door and walked in with Lori. Then Whit went over to the couch and lay down.

"So... you notice anything different about me?" asked Lori.

" Besides the fact you got the recommended amount of sleep last night, I can't see anything out of my eyes," said Whit.

Lori held up her hands and showed them to Whit.

" What is different about this picture?" asked Lori. She thought that if Whit remembered that Lori never wore jewelry unless she absolutely had to then she would notice the ring on her left hand.

Whit looked at her hands and then said,

"You have a ring on," she said. Whit then continued to think about it then sprung up off the couch and said,

"OH MY GOSH! YOU HAVE A RING ON!!!!!" She then stood up and continued to shout,

" AND IT'S ON THAT HAND, AND ON THAT FINGER!!!!!"

" Put it all together and what does it mean?" asked Lori.

" YOU'RE WEARING JEWELRY!" said Whit still not getting that Lori was engaged.

Lori sighed and said,

" You are hopeless Whit. Yes I am wearing jewelry, but it also means I'm engaged!!!!!"

" NOWAY!!!!!" shouted Whit.

" Now we're getting it!" said Lori.

"I have to help plan this!" said Whit.

"Of coarse!"

" There's going to be ducks, and purple sheep, and...and...and um...yellow sheep. Heck lets have the whole rainbow sheep family in there! No chipmunks though. They're evil, with their fluffy tails and their big brown eyes... I see right past them!" said Whit as she went on and on with things for Lori's wedding that were just out there.


A/N What up all? Sorry for the delay I chapter. School is killing me. Guess what! I'm now in Cross Country. Getting up at 5:00 in the morning is fun! I also just competed in my first race. I came in 47 out of 238 girls! Needless to say, I'm soar!!!! Well I hope I matched the rings up with the right person. The real Whit... Whitney, called the white gold with leaves the day after I posted the chapter. So it went to her. Well, life is real hectic at the moment; I don't know when I get to write and when mom tells me to get off the computer because I'm not doing something productive. Oh well... REVIEW!!!! Especially WHITNEY (saying I forgot my password isn't a good excuse either)!!!! Thank you to all my other reviewers.

P.S Anyone what to tell me what this C2 thing is? It would be greatly appreciated!!
