Thank you for the reviews! I hope you like this chapter, let me know! Oh, and to Digifriends I really don't know Elvish. I found a website that provided a bunch of Elvish phrases. Enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: I own nothing associated with Lord of the Rings. I only own Amaris.

Chapter 70: Pranks and Frustrations

Elladan and Elrohir smiled as the quietly closed the door to Legolas' chambers. They smiled at each other and quietly made their way to their rooms before they were found. "Do you think Amaris will be angry with us?" Elrohir asked his brother as they stopped outside his room. Elladan smiled and shook his head.

"I don't think so," Elladan said but he paused and looked at his brother. "Do you know where the two had vanished to during the celebration?" Elrohir sighed.

"No. I have not seen either of them since Legolas led her outside. However, I think they both will be pleasantly surprised when they return to his room. Dawn is approaching and I am certain they will come back to the palace soon." Elrohir nodded to his brother and entered his chambers and Elladan chuckled quietly as he went further down the hall and entered his chambers.


The first rays of the morning sun dance across Legolas' face causing him to wake from his wonderful dream. He sighed and blinked his eyes several times until his vision cleared. A smile slowly found its way across his face as he felt Amaris' soft body pressed rightly against his as they laid in the bed. He looked down and saw her head resting comfortably on his chest and her arm draped over his body. Legolas leaned down and kissed the top of her head. He felt her body jump slightly and smiled when he heard her sigh in contentment. Amaris turned her head to face him and smiled at him. "Good morning, Legolas," Amaris said her voice still laced with sleep. It was then that she realized they still were in the talan. She sat up and pulled the blanket to cover her chest but it still covered Legolas when he sat up next to her. He smiled and moved her hair away from her neck and placed a slow gentle kiss on the nape of her neck. She shivered and smiled as she looked at him. Legolas smiled back and kissed her neck once more.

"Good morning, Amaris," Legolas said his warm breath playing across her skin causing her to shiver once more. He looked up into her eyes and kissed her gently on her lips that were still slightly swollen from the night before. "I trust you slept well." Amaris laughed quietly and nodded.

"I did, and you?" Legolas nodded and kissed her lips once more.

"I did." Legolas kissed her again and began to lower her to the bed when she pushed against his chest and smiled when they broke apart. He sighed and looked at her with sad eyes, but Amaris' smile just grew. "What is it, meleth nîn?" Amaris ran her fingers down his cheek and he closed his eyes but quickly opened them as her fingers left his skin.

"We should head back to the palace, Legolas. I believe all may be wondering what happened to their prince last night." Legolas smiled at her.

"They also may be wondering what became of their princess." Amaris smiled and shook her head at him but it didn't last long because soon his lips were once again on hers. Amaris sighed but pulled away.

"We must dress and return, Legolas. I would like to spend more time with Aragorn and the others before they leave us tomorrow." Legolas nodded in understanding.

"As you wish, Amaris." Amaris smiled and leaned up to him kissing him lightly on the lips.

"We have plenty of time. We also need to enjoy other activities outside of the ones that take place in the bedroom, meleth nîn." Legolas smiled and nodded causing Amaris to laugh quietly. She moved to get out of bed when she realized she only had her wedding gown to ware back inside and she really did not want to ruin it. She was thankful that it was not damaged in their run to the clearing last night. Amaris turned to Legolas and he smiled at her.

"Do not worry. There are other garments for us to ware back to the palace and a pack to place our ceremony clothes in until we reach the palace." Amaris smiled and leaned into him once more and kissed him. Legolas tried to pull her closer but Amaris quickly stood away from him and took the top blanket from the bed and covered her bare body. Legolas sighed. "You need not cover yourself from me, Amaris." Amaris smiled and shook her head and Legolas smiled.

"I know that but I do not think it is the best time for me to stand before you bare, after all it was hard enough work trying to get you to let me out of the bed. I really don't want to be chased around the talan." Legolas laughed and stood from the bed, not bothering to cover himself. Amaris had a hard time keeping her eyes from traveling over him as he walked to the dressing table and removed a pair of leggings and a tunic. She watched as he dressed himself and smiled at the little show he seemed to have gave her as he dressed in his black leggings and white tunic. "Are you just going to let me watch you dress, or are you going to tell me where my clothes are?" Legolas smiled and walked back to the dressing table dressed but barefooted and pulled out a shimmering white gown. He smiled and walked over to her.

"It is a custom in Mirkwood for newly bound couples to dress in white the day after their formal ceremony. I had this dress made for you long ago." Amaris smiled as she looked over the flowing fabric. It was so soft and it seemed to sparkle, like the stars themselves were hidden in the fabric. "I hope you like it." Amaris looked up at him and nodded.

"It is beautiful Legolas." Her voice was in a whisper and he smiled. "Would you help me dress?" Amaris asked and Legolas had to swallow the lump that found its way to his throat but he nodded. Amaris smiled and let the blanket drop from her form. She furrowed her brow in thought for a moment and looked at him. "Did you have any underclothes stored here for me?" Legolas nodded and draped the gown on the bed before returning to the dresser and pulling out a pair of underwear for her. Amaris smiled at him and took them from him. "Thank you Legolas." He smiled before he leaned into her and kissed her lightly on the lips. He turned to pull on his boots and braid his hair and Amaris took it as her opportunity to dress quickly before he turned around. She dressed herself and smiled at the soft fabric of the gown Legolas gave her.

"You look beautiful," Legolas said through their link causing Amaris to look up at him and smile. He stepped closer to her and turned her around to tighten the back of the dress. When he was done, he untwined the few braids that were left in her hair and brushed it out and put a half braid in her hair. Amaris turned around and smiled at him.

"Thank you Legolas. You didn't have to do that." Legolas shook his head and cupped her face with both of his hands.

"I would do anything for you, Amaris. Anything." He leaned in and kissed her deeply. Amaris gently pushed him away and smiled up at him.

"I know you would, just as I would do for you. However, you don't have to do anything for me. I have all I want and then some." Legolas smiled and kissed her once more before pulling away and walking over to the dressing table. He put on his circlet before picking up Amaris' and walking over to her. Legolas smiled at her and placed the circlet on her head. Once he secured it he smiled at her and ran his fingers down her cheek.

"Let us return to the palace." Amaris nodded and slid on her slippers before picking up her wedding gown and placing it in the pack Legolas held by his side. They slowly made their way back to the palace enjoying the sounds of the forest waking and the first rays of sun as it danced across them.


Legolas and Amaris walked down the slowly filling corridors and went to Legolas' room. They slowly opened the door and Amaris let out a scream and quickly covered her mouth. Legolas looked around with his mouth open in shock. His room was completely torn apart. The bedding hung over the balcony his clothes laid in a pile on the floor wet from water and his bath oils and soap jars laid empty on his dressing table. As they scanned the room they saw a note resting on the bed. Legolas let go of Amaris' hand and made his way over to the bed. He picked up the note and read over it. He laughed and shook his head as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Amaris quickly ran over to him and took the note from him. "What is 'Welcome to the family' suppose to mean?" Amaris asked. The words no more left her mouth and it dawned on her. "Elrohir and Elladan!" she exclaimed quietly. Legolas just shrugged his shoulders and laughed. Amaris looked at him like he was crazy. "Legolas, this is not funny! Look what they have done to your, I mean our room! I was supposed to be moving my belongings in here today and everything! Oh! I told them not to do anything, but they don't listen!" Amaris sighed and turned back to look at Legolas who was laughing quietly. Amaris glared at him. "Legolas, this is not funny!" He walked over and put his hands on her shoulders.

"It is alright Amaris. It is nothing that cannot be fixed. The maids shall have everything back in order by tomorrow and Elladan and Elrohir were just having fun," Legolas said as he held her shoulders, but Amaris still fumed.

"I shall be back in a moment, Legolas. I have something I need to take care of." With that Amaris quickly left the room and made her way down the corridors to have a little chat with her brothers.
