Chapter 11: The Reuniting of Old Friends

*Edited*

"Moon?"

"The one an only."

"I thought you were dead!"

"I though you were- no, I didn't, but still!"

Legolas laughed and pulled her into a hug. "It's been years!"

"Really?" she said sarcastically, hugging him delightedly.

"All joking aside, why are you here?"

"Um, you see, that's a delicate question," she giggled nervously.

"Do I even want to know?"

"Probably not," she grinned her mad grin, which she had missed grinning, if that makes any sense. "Oh! Um, you should actually, probably, really not go that way."

"Who are you with?" he demanded.

"Heh, heh. Not the dwarves of Erebor?"

"Oh Valar- did you- you did. Ada's going to kill you."

"Not if he doesn't know I'm here! Plus, I'm too precious to kill."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," he said, waving her off as he ordered his guards to attack the spiders and capture the dwarves. "Watch the master," he grinned, sliding down the tree root and shooting spiders.

"What. A. Showoff. You know I can do that too!" she called out at him, sliding down the root and shooting spiders, her wings extended for balance.

"Cheater, you have wings," said Legolas.

"Yeah, well you have elf."

"That makes no sense," he laughed. She tapped her forehead and grinned. Legolas opened his mouth to respond but one of the elves cleared their throat.

"Oh, right!" said Legolas.

"Wait, wait!" Moon cried. She stood in front of the company protectively and Legolas lazily put an arrow at her throat.

"Okay, now growl."

She bared her teeth and her nodded approvingly. "Wait, what's your name?"

"Ummmm...." she glanced at Thorin. "Thhhhhhoooooorrriiiinnnaaa?"

"Oh Valar, you are so horrible with names," Legolas rolled his eyes. He looked at Thorin and said,"Don't ever let her name your kids."

"Wh-What are you-" spluttered Thorin while Moon rubbed her temples.

"Oh it's so obvious," he said dramatically, waving his bow around. "All the sexual tension."

"I hate you so much," Moon said, her cheeks bright pink.

"As you should. Oh, put away your wings. That will be a dead giveaway. So your name is Scarlet and you want to go on this quest becaaaauuuusssseeee...... I don't know...."

"Smaug killed my husband?" Moon suggested as her wings ground into her back.

"Sure, we'll go with that." As he finished his sentence, the company was taken prisoner.

The company was completely baffled at Moon and the Prince, because now they were in a stony silence, as if they didn't know one another.

"Alright, take the dwarves to the dungeon. I'm taking Scarlet to get a bath, because she smells worst than the rest of them," said Legolas.

They made their way to her old bedroom, and as soon as the door was close they burst into laughter.

"Ha! I bet they think we're both insane!" laughed Legolas.
