So it took me a while to think of an idea to write. So in this one shot I figured I would have Tauriel, Legolas and some other wood elves go and clear the forest of some nasty spiders. Hope you enjoy!

The King had ordered for the spider's nests in the woods to be cleared out. So Legolas had gathered a group of elves to go and clear the forest out with him. Legolas had chosen his most skilled elves to go with him, for the spiders were not kind creatures and weren't the easiest to kill. There was Ectheldir, Hador, Celegnir, Medlindir, Rhonir and his childhood friend Tauriel. Tauriel wasn't like the other elven women around her, Tauriel chose to be around, knives, bows and blades. Which most of the others found slightly odd and intimidating; though none of them would admit it. But in the few hundred years that she had been training with them, she had put all of her heart into the training and it had paid off, for her skills in battle were exceptionally good. But not as good as Legolas and he made sure she knew it.

The small company of elves had set out and were currently looking for the spiders. "Keep your eyes open and stay alert. Any movement attracts these foul creatures and they will descend upon us." Legolas warned.

Tauriel was trailing at the back, being the youngest there and being a sylvan elf the other's did not show much respect for her and just disregarded her; all of them apart from Legolas. So she kept to herself at the back of the group. "Keep up Tauriel," sneered Rhonir. Tauriel clenched her jaw and it took everything in her not to retort. She was a fiery as her hair sometimes and she struggled to keep it in check.

"Leave her be." Legolas said in a commanding voice. "Lead the way Hador," Legolas let the other elf take over and wandered to the back where Tauriel was. He could see she was scowling slightly and decided to tease her a bit, "come now mellon, you are not going let Rhonir of all elves get to you?"

Tauriel sighed and just shook her head, "can we just kill these creatures and be done with it Legolas."

Legolas rolled his eyes at her, "how about we make this interesting. The one who kills the most spiders decides the loser's forfeit." He raised an eyebrow as he waited for her response; he knew she would never turn down an opportunity to prove she was better than him at something.

He was right, "I'll accept that challenge," she smiled. Her mood quickly changed and she was now eager to find some spider's just so she could beat him at something. It was strange whenever she was feeling down Legolas always had a way of comforting her, whether it was by challenging her to something or just by comforting her. She had never had a friend like him before, it was nice.

They were deep in the forest now and cobwebs covered nearly every tree. Legolas signalled for the elves to climb the trees where they would get a better view of everything that was going on around them. As they were walking along the branches Tauriel nearly slipped and fell onto one of the webs had Legolas not been there to support her, "be careful Tauriel, we do not want to alert the spiders and I do not want you getting hurt."

She glared at him as she regained her balance, "Legolas I am not a child do not coddle me so."

Legolas chuckled as he followed her, "I am one hundred years your elder Tauriel, and I am only expressing my concern about your safety."

"That does not give you the right to worry about me, like you said you are only a hundred years older than me." She scowled; he was always worried about her, and it irked her so. Whether he did it because he cared or just to irritate her did not matter, she did not like it. She saw something move in the corner of her eye and as quick as lightening she drew her bow, loaded an arrow and fired it past Legolas' shoulder. It hit the spider ten meters away from him dead in the centre of it's face effectively killing it. "One." She smirked.

Her kill had set off a chain reaction all of a sudden a few dozen spider's appeared from the trees and came out with the intention of killing these intruders. Legolas drew out his bow and arrow and killed a spider that was crawling towards the elves; it fell down from the tree and cracked a few branches on the way down. He then took a knife out and without looking jabbed it backwards in the eye of another. "Two!"

Tauriel laughed as she was in the middle of killing another spider. She held it's fangs up with her bow and then slashed her sword through it's head and threw the sword at an approaching spider. "I'm on five, you're falling behind mellon," she teased as she struck another down with her bow. "Six!" Legolas huffed and doubled his efforts to kill the horrid creatures. They might be friends but Legolas did not like to lose.

The elves quickly eradicated the horrid creatures. "Final count?" he asked smugly.

"Twelve, you might as well accept defeat mellon." She grinned.

"Take your own advice Tauriel, I killed a grand total of fourteen. Now your forfeit," he smirked.

Tauriel huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. "well then greenleaf?"

Legolas chuckled "I want you to... Kiss me."

All the other male elves looked towards the two as they waited for her reaction; she would either hit him or walk away. Tauriel rolled her eyes before giving him a quick peck on the lips and walking away quickly.

Hador came up behind Legolas and gave him a pat on the back "my friend she will walk away from you every time, you will not win her that way."

Legolas grinned and looked at his friend "I enjoy the chase. Come on let's get back before the sun set's." They all set off after Tauriel.

Not my best chapter I know, but I struggled for ideas. Do you guys want to help me out? I hope you guys liked it anyway, thanks for all the lovely reviews. Xx
