A/N: I know you all are beginning to want some fluff between Legolas & Nicolette, so there's going to be a tad bit of fluff in this chapter.
To my reviewers:
KrillBall6: Thanks! I want a dragon too! WAAAAH! And here's that update, I'll try and update once a week at the very least.
MyfriendFeFethepinkboydragon: Thanks! Lol I think your name is cute. And if you're insane then we share the same mental illness.
Sugarontop1: I'm glad you found this story too! LOL. You're sweetheart.
Thanks to Legolas Fan, Laer and Celtic Cross (love your name) and everyone else for reviewing my story! You guys really brightened up my day!
××Legolas' POV××
I climbed the stairs to Lady Nicolette and her darling little sister's talen (A/N: For some of you that don't know a talen is a tree house). When I reached her talen I rapped sharply on the door. Nothing. I shrugged and knocked again, a little harder this time. Silence. I cursed myself remembering it was still a little too early—especially for a human to be awake. I had left my bow with the young Anna and I needed it. I shrugged and opened the door; the two bedrooms were to the left. My bow would probably be in Anna's room, I slowly opened the door, Anna was sleeping peacefully, clutching a doll; I quickly searched her room, but not enough to invade the girl's privacy. My bow was nowhere to be seen, I sighed. Nicolette probably had it, should I come into her room? Normally I wouldn't but I was desperate to get my bow for my competition with Aragorn. I shrugged and quickly opened the door to Lady Nicolette's room. I looked over at her, a small sigh of admiration left my throat.
Sunlight from an open window streamed down upon her, turning her into some sort of sun-bathed goddess. Her dark, wavy hair framed her face. In sleep, instead of a scornful, insecure girl she was a peaceful young woman. She turned over, revealing something sparkling green barely sticking out from under the covers. The little lump squeaked in dismay and quickly shifted it's weight to cover up whatever was sticking out.
I stealthily crept beside her bed and pulled back the covers. I gasped at the sight.
A dragon, no larger than a puppy was curled up beside Nicolette's sleeping form. When it saw it was discovered it growled. He opened his mouth as if to breathe fire, it tried but to it's dismay, only a small waft of smoke came out. It tried again, rasping with effort.
Nicolette began to stir when she felt the loss of warmth from the blanket, her eyes fluttered open. She leapt up when she saw me, "What the fu-," she stopped herself when the little dragon gave her a warning look. "What are you doing here?" She asked angrily.
"Why do you have a dragon!" I asked, ignoring her question.
Is that really any of your business, Elf? A voice asked me.
I gaped. The dragon had talked to me!
Nicolette groaned, "You just had to do that didn't you, Jade? Now Galadriel is going to take you away!"
The baby dragon gave her a look that clearly stated, "It wasn't my fault!"
Nicolette huffed and let out a string of colorful curses.
"Lady, control yourself!" I admonished.
Nicolette blushed and abruptly closed her mouth.
"Now, come with me. I think the Lady of the Wood should know of this."
××Nicolette's POV××
After Legolas had dragged me and Jade (in his gentlemanly manner) to Galadriel and forced me to tell what had transpired in the past day. Galadriel wasn't even ruffled. Damn, I wish for once Elves might actually act like they were surprised at something.
"…I don't think it would be a good idea to take Jade away from Nicolette but I would like them to be under close surveillance. Is that understood, Nicolette?" She asked me, eyeing Jade, "And also if it meets Jade's approval."
Jade nodded her head, I suppose if it's necessary. She grumbled.
Galadriel instructed her guards in Elvish. They nodded then motioned for me to follow them.
"Go with Rumil and Orophis, they are now your personal guards, they are quite trustworthy," Galadriel reassured me.
I followed them with Jade sitting on my shoulder.
××Legolas' POV××
"Legolas, you are one of the few dragon rider instructor's left. If they are to survive they will need instruction," said Galadriel.
I sighed, "Lady Galadriel, I am honored that you think me fit of this task; but I am already pledged to Frodo and the quest."
Galadriel nodded, "The maiden could always go with you, then she would have the instruction of both you and Aragorn; she may also prove to be an invaluable piece in this giant puzzle we call war."
I closed my eyes, trying to find an argument to counter her's, "But what about her sister? Lady Nicolette would refuse to go without young Anna."
"Legolas, I feel that Lady Nicolette must come with you, I think she is a very important part of this war. If it means bringing a child with you, so be it."
I groaned inwardly, "If you wish it, Milady. But I beg of you to convince her in my stead."
Galadriel smiled, "Of course, Legolas."

Sorry about the boring chapter! I shall return with fluffy goodness and dragonlore!
