Note:

pghale6 (and everyone)- I'm glad you liked the Elvish. I got all of the little mushy sayings from well actually a friend got them for me. And also from (a great site if you havent already been there) Other than that I used a book by Ruth Noel about Quenya, Sindarin, Rohirric, the Black Speech, etc. Some of my conjugations might be wrong and many are guessed. Like denelye was in there, den means to take, so I assumed that adding the ending for 'you' (like in most other elven verbs) would be 'you have taken' since it was denelye for past tense, not denalye like it would be had it been present tense. And for most of the things the translation was in not its literary meaning. Like, when he said 'forever' it was 'for all years', and when Melannen told Legolas he was hopeless, she actually said "Without hope you are." the sentence structures of elvish are complicated but fun to figure out. If you like elvish I would seriously say get the book (The Languages of Tolkien's Middle Earth). It's worth its weight in mithril! has a lot of elvish which is usable today, like you wouldn't go up to a friend and say "My sword will shine with your's if you allow it", but on this sight you can learn things like "What is your name?" "May I have a glass of water?" "The meal is good." you know, things you might actually use other than in fanfics. Namarie!

Glorfindel shook his head as he walked over to where the twins sat, and he could not help but overhear things being said.

"Now that is just fu–." Elrohir spun around when he heard Glorfindel's approach. "–nee. Very funny." Elladan turned around, an innocent grin spreading from ear to ear.

Hence the name the knights who say ni. Glorfindel thought.

"We were looking for clovers in the grass." He said, smiling wider, and attempting to hide something underneath his cloak.

The Balrog Slayer was not convinced. "Give it here." he said, extending his hand.

"What?"

"Whatever you are hiding underneath your cloak."

"I hide nothing." the older twin said, with an affirming nod from his brother.

"We will see." the Balrog Slayer laughed with inner joy. The twins gulped, whenever he did that, things did not bode well for them. "Come, get off the ground." he said, offering Elladan a hand, which was accepted. In one rapid movement, the golden-haired Lord had gotten Elrond's son in a tight grasp at the wrists and was dragging him off.

"NOO!" The young peredhil squirmed and wiggled trying to get free of his captor's grasp. He tried to get his footing and counter his adversary, but Glorfindel was not only twice his size, he also had no trouble dragging him.

Elrohir winced when he heard a large spash and many screamed obscenities. "Shit!" Elladan yelped. "The water's cold! You are going to pay Glorfindel!" The Balrog Slayer came back wiping his hands on his tunic.

"Who's next?"

Elrohir took off running.

Legolas and Melannen had bid Margaret a fond adieu and were on their way back to Melannen's home. The old lady had made them a small loaf of fruitcake and sent them on their way. With only a little bit of advice, that was 'Watch were your going and not each other! I don't want to see your names in the obituaries tomorrow!' her words made them both laugh.

It was late and they still had many miles left to go. Legolas yawned and stopped the car at the red-light.

"Are you tired?" Melannen asked.

He accelerated, "I don't know about you, but I need more than 30 seconds of sleep each night." She laughed. "Melannen?"

"What is it, meleth?"

"Ah, nothing."

"Legolas."

He bit his lip, something he did not do often, making her wonder what exactly he was wanting to say. "It's just that . . . . . yeah." he shook his head. "Nothing."

She glared at him. "What is it?" her voice a good deal softer than her glance.

"It's crazy, it really is . . . and . . .uh, and unimportant." He said, his eyes not leaving the road ahead.

She sighed, "Forget I asked." What's gotten into him? She asked herself. He's been acting strange lately . . . .

"Melmenya," my love he began, only to stop again. "I have something very important to ask you." he placed his hand on top of hers, causing her heart to race. Was this real? Was this really happening? "How important, Legolas?"

"Beyond everything else. Ever since Elladan passed away I realized just how important it was." He paused. "Melannen . . . ."

"Yes . . . ."

"Where would you like to eat? I fell like onion rings."
