Aliya opened her eyes. She was still in Legolas' arms. She could feel him rubbing her back.
"Good morning." Legolas said, giving her a soft kiss on the lips.
"Good morning." Aliya said, returning the kiss.
"How are you feeling?" Legolas asked, now rubbing the side of her arm.
"A lot better." Aliya said, adjusting the way she was sitting so she could see Legolas.
"Good. Halamar said you are cleared he just wants you resting today."
"Shall we go get breakfast?"
"Not yet we shall not."
"And why's that?"
"I've been in the same outfit for two days and so have you."
"Then how about we go get changed then we go get breakfast."
"That sounds much better."
Aliya got up from Legolas' lap and stood up followed by Legolas.
Together they walked happily down the hall talking until they parted ways towards their own bedroom.
Once Aliya's hair was re-braided and she was dressed she met back up with Legolas in the great hall. She was wearing a dark pink and black dress.
Together they headed down the hallway meeting up with Pipp, Merry and the twins.
"So I heard about what happened the other day. Is everyone all right?" Pipp asked, sitting down at the table.
"We're fine." Aliya said, dishing herself out a fruit bowl.
"You guys missed supper last night." Merry said.
"You should have been there. I've only had supper once but this is something I should have more often." Elrohir exclaimed.
"Yeah! We didn't even know what supper was but-" Fred said.
"It turns out we love it!" George finished.
"Where were you?" Pipp asked.
"Sleeping." Aliya and Legolas said together.
"Sleeping?" Elrohir said.
"This night owl? Really?" Elladan asked, sounding surprised.
"It was a long day yesterday." Legolas said.
"Oh." Said Elrohir. "Makes sense."
"Anyway are you guys going to join us for second breakfast?" Pipp and Merry asked.
"You don't even have to ask us!" Fred and George said.
"Of course we will." Elrohir and Elladan said.
"I'll pass." Aliya said.
"Me too." Legolas agreed.
"Suit yourself." Pipp said.
Soon everyone had finished eating. Legolas and Aliya headed out to the garden while the twins explored and Pipp and Merry helped work on second breakfast in the kitchens.
Once Legolas and Aliya got into the garden Legolas sat down at the foot of a tree and Aliya layed down on the ground resting her head on his lap while reading a book. They were seated in the same spot they had been in when they filled out the papers.
Legolas smiled and started running his fingers through Aliya's hair.
"These three weeks are going by far to slow." Legolas said.
"These three weeks will be gone before you know it. Just enjoy your time now. Don't wish for time to go by too fast." Aliya said, still reading her book.
They both fell into silence one again. Only the sound of birds and the water could be heard. A cool morning breeze blew through the trees, rustling the leaves.
"What book are you reading?" Legolas asked, looking at the book in Aliya's hands.
"It's a book I had from home I never finished reading. I brought several with me. The total is Quidditch Throughout the Ages." Aliya responded.
"What's Quidditch?"
"It's a game that's played back in my home world. It's played on flying brooms and…" Aliya explained everything about Quidditch to Legolas not leaving a single detail out.
"It sounds very interesting and fun." Legolas said, once Aliya had finished. "What teams are there?"
Aliu thought for a moment. "There are the Appleby Arrows, Ballycastle Bats, Caerphilly Caterpillars, Chudley Cannons, Falmouth Falcons, Holyhead Harpies, Kenmare Kestrels, Montrose Magpies, Pride of Portree, Puddlemere United, Tutshil Tornados, Wigtown Wanderers and the Wimbourne. Those are the main teams. The Hogwarts Quidditch teams are Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff."
"Which main team is your favorite?"
"The Kenmare Kestrels. This is them here." Aliya said handing the book to Legolas.
"I see they're the Ireland team."
"How do you know that?"
"I read it off the page." Legolas said, handing the book back to Aliya and returning his hands back to her hair.
"Are you excited for the wedding day?" Legolas asked Aliya after a few minutes of silence.
"Yes, very. I'm just a little nervous as well. Mainly for Hagrids sake. I invited him last minute because I forgot about him somehow but now I'm a bit nervous."
"Why?"
"Hagrids a… well a half giant. He's not taller than the tree but you get the point."
"At least he's not a dwarf. I don't even know what my fathers going to say when he sees Gimli."
"Your father will be in for a surprise. Hopefully he won't take it as a bad surprise. Oh Legolas?"
"Yes love?"
"How did you meet Ava?"
Legolas sighed. He was hoping she wouldn't ask that.
"We met a long time ago back when we were elflings. Her father had been working for my father for a little while so she was staying here for a little while…" Legolas started describing everything as he remembered when he first met Ava.
Flashback,Little Legolas happily walked throughout the halls. He was heading to the throne room to see his father. He had something he wanted to show him.Legolas pushed the doors open and ran up to his father, who was seated on his throne. He ran up to his father and jumped into his lap."Hello my little leaf." Thranduil said, smiling down at his son."Ada, look what I have for you!" Legolas said, showing his father a picture of them that he made for him.Thranduil smiled looking at the picture. Him and Legolas were standing in front of the halls together."I love it ion nin, le hannon (my son, thank you). I have a surprise for you." Thranduil said."What's the surprise?!" Legolas asked excitedly.Thranduil motioned to one of the guards and they left then came back in with two people."Legolas, meet Ava. She and her father will be staying here for a little while. So now you have someone to play with while I'm busy." Thranduil said, motioning to the elfling standing next to her father. She had long blonde hair and green eyes. She was very pretty."Thank you ada (daddy)." Legolas said, hopping down from his father's lap and running happily over to the other elfling."Hi." Legolas said, approaching Ava."Hi." Ava said in return."Do you want to head out to the garden?" Legolas asked."Sure." Ava said, following the princeling out.Ava's father and Thranduil smiled as both elflings ran happily out of the room.End of flashback"Very pretty?" Aliya asked, once Legolas had finished telling her.
"Yes but not as pretty as you." Legolas said, leaning down and giving Aliya a gentle kiss on the lips.
"What happened between you two?" Aliya asked.
"Nothing. We just became better friends as time went on."
"Like how?"
Legolas sighed and started telling her.FlashbackYoung Legolas walked through the halls and into the training section. He was now six hundred and great friends with Ava.Legolas walked over to a target and out of the corner of his eye saw a blonde elf shooting at a target. Legolas smiled and walked over to the elleth."Hello mellon (friend)." Legolas said.Ava turned and smiled at him. Legolas smiled back, Ava had grown to be a beautiful elleth (she elf)."What are you doing here?" Legolas asked Ava."I thought I'd stop by for a few days. I asked Elanil if she wanted to come but wanted to stay back." Ava said."Well you are welcome to stay as long as you like." Legolas said, smiling."Le hannon Legolas (thank you)."Legolas smiled then leaned down and kissed Ava.When they pulled away they were both smiling."Shall I tell my father of your arrival?" Legolas asked."Why not."End of flashback"We just became distant after the battle of the five armies." Legolas said.
"Are you sure there's nothing going on between you two?" Aliya asked.
"Positive."
