War and Peace

Mandy's PoV

"What did they do to you?" I yelped. "You're in a . . . a tux!"

"The Lady Lisa said that you would appreciate—"

"Oh," I interrupted. "Lisa told you to dress up. Don't," I advised. "I like elvish clothing better." Legolas looked uncertain, then left. Smiling to myself, I carefully drifted over to the window. When no one was looking, I bent down and took off the brace on my ankle.

"That's better," I sighed to myself. "Stupid ankle may not really be hurt, but I've got big plans." I leaned on the windowsill, gazing dreamily at a clearing right outside my window where Lisa was bossing around a couple elves. The sun soon began to set without my realizing it, until a tall elf opened my door.

"Milady, you have a visitor," she announced. "Shall I send him in?"

"Can you ever knock?" I asked irritably. She shrugged. "Whatever. Send him in." I leapt into the bed and redid my brace before Legolas walked in the room. Leaning back against the pillows, I smiled. "Hi!"

"Hello to you too, Lady Amanda," he greeted me. "How's your ankle?"

"Okay. Still hurts a bit, but otherwise okay," he came over to my bed and handed me a bouquet of flowers.

"Happy Valentine's Day," I frowned.

"It's Valentine's Day?" I asked. Legolas nodded, uncertainly.

"That's what the Lady Kelsey and Lady Lisa said."

"Oh." I took the flowers from him and laid them on my lap. "Well, thank you for being so considerate." Legolas sat down beside me and took my hand in his. Gosh, does it get any better?

"You're welcome," he replied sincerely. I nearly melted—nearly, because I noticed something moving outside my window. I frowned, watching the window out of the corner of my eye. "I did want you to know that, if your ankle had not been hurt, I would have—"

"Duck!" I yelped, realizing who it was. I threw the covers over my head as Nicole aimed a Super Soaker at us. I couldn't see what happened next (No duh, Mandy), but I could hear Nicole yelling, Legolas' shouts of indignation and could feel myself getting soaked…and I was under the covers!

"Nicole STOP!" I yelped, curling into a ball. The water stopped, or so I thought. I emerged from the covers dripping wet to see Nicole blasting Legolas out of my room. "Nicole!" She turned to me, grinning maniacally.

"You'll thank me later!" she promised, closing the door in Legolas's face.

"Yeah right!" I shouted back angrily. I shook the water out of my eyes and smoothed back my hair. "Why are you so mean! And now you're not only being mean to him, but you're being mean to me!" Nicole shrugged.

"Sacrifices must be made," she replied.

"WHAT!" I spluttered. "Sacrifices!" Nicole nodded.

"At least I don't lie about my ankle being broken," she retorted heatedly. I scowled.

"I hate you," I snapped. Nicole's face darkened to a bright red.

"FINE!" she yelled. "Fine! I'm not going with you!" I know I paled.

"What?"

"You heard me." Nicole growled, pumping the Super Soaker. "I'm not going with you guys down the river. I'm going to stay in Lothlorien!" I scowled.

"See if I care!" I shouted. Nicole left. "Freak."


Kelsey's PoV

I smiled dreamily from my spot on a bench as I watched Lisa get asked by, like, five guys to dance with her. If only Haldir were here…

"Happy Valentine's Day." I turned to see Haldir holding out a bundle of elanor.

"Oh, Haldir, you shouldn't have," I said softly, taking it from him. He took my other hand in his.

"Lady Kelsey, I would be most honored if you would accompany me to the dance." I flushed.

"Of course," I replied delicately, standing up. He led me to the dance floor (Lisa's Ipod was blasting sappy love songs) and put his hand on my waist. I placed my hand on his shoulder and we shared a slow dance (we waltzed, to be precise, though I think the elves called it something different like the twelve-count dance. Haldir said something like that, but I wasn't sure since I was too busy looking at his eyes). I have to admit, maybe Mandy wasn't totally insane about it being fun to stare into a male's eyes, since I stared into Haldir's the whole song.

"FINE!" Much of the conversation in the room stopped and looked up towards a talan. A couple people were shouting, and I winced as I heard Mandy and Nicole's voices. They soon grew quiet and the talking resumed before a figure leapt out of the window and began climbing down the tree. Recognizing Nicole, I looked up at Haldir pleadingly.

"I'm sorry," I apologized, pausing in the dance. "But there might be a problem—they never usually argue like that—and . . ."

"It's all right Lady Kelsey," Haldir smiled (he himself seemed a little embarrassed with our abrupt, I guess you could say, courting). He took his hand off my waist and lifted my hand to his lips, kissing it. "It was a pleasure dancing with you, my lady." I found myself grinning like an idiot at Haldir's retreating back, which was pointed out as Lisa came up to me.

"What's with you?" she asked, waving a hand in front of my face. "Hello? Earth to Kelsey! KELSEY!"

"What?"

"Get off Cloud Nine, please, and help me find out what's wrong with Nicole." Lisa grabbed my wrist and dragged me off. "Gosh, what's with you and that guy?"

"What?" I asked again, Haldir still in my peripheral vision. I could almost feel Lisa roll her eyes.

"Nevermind." We soon found Nicole leaning on a tree, shooting at another tree with her Super Soaker.

"Uh . . . Nicole?" Lisa asked hesitantly. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," she replied stubbornly. "Nothing at all." I frowned.

"Hello? You and Mandy just had a fight." When Nicole glared at me, I quickly added, "Everyone heard you guys." Nicole scowled.

"Lisa, I'm staying with you in Lothlorien," she replied. Lisa began jumping up and down.

"REALLY, REALLY, REALLY?"

"But what about Mandy and me?" I asked, frowning. "You're just going to leave us?" Nicole nodded.


Well, we do fight like that . . . a lot. Oh well. We always make-up in the end. Yea for us!

If they have, I haven't witnessed it. Not sure I'd want to, though. --The Editor

I hate fighting with Nicole, but we had to do it for the sake of the story. : ( And, yes, Kelsey, we have fought. Remember when she kept hitting me because I yelled at her because she was talking during the movie because I talked during the movie because she said something to me before the movieand we didn't talk to each other for HALF the day? I do.

I don't remember that. i do remember hitting you whenever you said a certain person's name all the time cuz he's an idiot. By the way, I am soooo telling Mr. T about him and why I'm gratful.
