This is the last chapter for this story. Thank you for the constructive criticism I got, it will surly help me for the other stories I wish to write.

I don't own, as always.

Day Seven

The hobbits woke early, wanting to know what was happening today. They waited eagerly for the others to wake up so they could go and eat. Finally, they couldn't wait anymore and ran into each room waking them up. They ran down to the kitchens, where because they were so early, they had to wait for food. The others walked calmly in right as the food was served.

Let's Do A Line Break. Do You Like Line Breaks? Let's End The Line Break.

The hobbits knew that the surprise would happen sometime after lunch and so asked to be taught to shoot again. Aragorn and Gimli were going to stay at their rooms and Legolas went down to the fields with the hobbits to make sure they didn't shoot anybody.

"You need to raise your arm a bit," Legolas directed both of them. He corrected their stances, their grip, and anything he thought needed help. Pippin was the first one to get a bullseye. It happened accidentally. Merry had called his name and he had glanced away and the arrow was let go. They were all shocked and try as he might, Pippin could not get another bullseye. They kept it up for a while longer before going back to their rooms. Merry and Legolas stayed at their rooms and read a book, while Pippin decided to draw the palace and different places, like the fields where they train.

That went on until lunchtime. They all had a fantastic lunch.

"When's the surprise going to take place?" Merry asked, afterwards.

"Whenever my cousin gets here. It will be before supper, but I do not know exactly when," Legolas answered. They continued to do random stuff to occupy their time. They read, drew and played pranks.

Finally, this cousin was here named Malachi. He greeted Legolas' friends with enthusiasm, even the dwarf.

"What is happening?" Merry asked Malachi.

"You do not know?" Malachi questioned glancing at Legolas.

"I have been making it a surprise for them," Legolas told him, smirking.

"Ah. You will have to wait and see," Malachi bid his goodbyes and left.

"The ceremony will begin an hour from now," Legolas invited them into his room. "Malachi needs to be taught a few things before,"

"What is he being taught?" Aragorn inquired.

"He most likely knows it all, but we need to make sure," Legolas seemed determined not to give them any real answers.

Line break line break let's all do the line break!

An hour later, they found themselves in a huge room that could fit possibly the entire town. They did not need to try as some did not get invites or did not wish to go. There was still at least 150 elves.

Legolas had to go abandon his post with his friends to go talk to the other elves, as it was his duty as the prince. The others saw the king and he gave them a look. They knew he was scared for his son. Legolas would live long after they were gone. Legolas had just finished mingling when the ceremony started to take place.

Malachi came in, dressed in more elegant clothing than when they last saw him. Legolas went and stood beside him. They talked quietly together and Malachi nodded his head and Legolas called for silence.

Legolas said that he was transferring his crown prince title to his cousin, Malachi. Malachi had to do vows to protect his people, and a few others until Legolas handed over the crown that was on top his head. Legolas bowed to Malachi and the rest of the people there did the same, excepting the king.

There was music and Legolas started to dance with a lady who he seemed to have a very fond interest in. The king saw that as well, and as it was with the elves, he had a dance with her to question if she liked Legolas.

Legolas stood over with his friends while the king danced.

"Isn't that the lady you were dancing with?" Aragorn asked.

"Yes. I intend to propose to her at some point," Legolas told them.

"Why not today?" Pippin asked.

"Because as it is, the father always has a dance with the lady his son is intending to marry and questions her. He will think over tonight if she has good or bad intentions for marrying me,"

They continued to dance and eat and talk. They went to sleep late in the night or early in the morning, depending how you looked at it.

The king approved of the lady called Elena, and Legolas proposed to her 2 weeks afterwards.

The End
