I got to my room to see my stuff already unpacked. I walked to my closet and saw something inside it, it was a piece of clothing that I didn't remember getting. I opened my closet door and gasped. It was a night gown, but it was a very very short night gown. The gown was a soft pinkish colour. And it had very thin straps, it was almost completely see through. A little bit under my boobs it had a elastic band. I came up to my boobs and it went criss-cross making a triangle in the middle. It had a matching pice of underwear that was about the same colour. I saw a note on my study desk. It had Arwen's handwriting on it.

It read:" Dear Tanya, as you and I both know you are to be wed in two days . I thought this could make things a little more interesting between you two. I know that this was against your will, but, that does not mean you can't have fun. From your loving 'sister' Arwen"

I scoffed and place the item of clothing back in it's place. I changed into my normal night gown. My hair was already in a braid so I didn't have to do that exercise. I laid in my bed and drifted off to a dreamless sleep.

I woke up the next morning, I changed into my black leggings and a white tunic, decided to do a simple high ponytail for today. It was going to be a very busy and long day. It was the day before the wedding and nothing was planned. I left my room and went to the dining hall. I saw everyone there and went to the only open seat witch was next to Legolas. It always confused me why my mother would be so ok with it. "Right so, Lady Galadriel, Arwen and Tanya would be dress shopping, venues planing and also most important cakes. Me, Lord Elrond, Lord Celeborn and Legolas would be get out clothing ready and picking a reception for it. As well as your wedding bands." Thranduil said blankly "Hey, that's not fair. You have four and we only have three." I argued with him. "Fine bring someone else along with you then" he said simply and continued eating. I looked at Arwen, she had a confused look on her face. My mom and that same look when I looked at her. I turned my head to Legolas who was on my right side. He was trying not to laugh because I mouthed the words "What happend to sourpuss?" I looked way and continued eating.

After everyone was finished my group left. "What about our fourth person?" My mother asked jokingly. "I don't know anybody else, so, I guess it's just us" I said and we alked off to the dress makers. It wasn't that far to walk. I enjoy breathing fresh air every now and then. "What was Legolas laughing about, at the table?" Arwen asked sweetly. "I'll tell you later. I want my full attention on my wedding today. I am getting married tomorrow" I laughed and we walked into the seamstress' shop. "Hello Agatha" I greeted her. She was a kind elf. She was one of the oldest elves in Rivendell. I think she said she was fourteen thousand years old. I'm not entirely sure. "I heard there will be a wedding for a special someone" she joked. I loved her dearly. "Yes yes, that's why we come to you. I need my wedding dress, a maid of honour dress and of course my mother's dress." I said. She clapped her hand together. "Oh, how wonderful, how I missed a Royal Wedding" she cheered happily. We all knew she was never there for the reception but the booze.

"I have the perfect thing for you. It's already made, I made it not to long ago. I just need to adjust it to your size" she spoke to Arwen. I healed out her hands to show Arwen to follow her. We waited a while for Arwen to come out. I knew one thing that Arwen did not. Aragon was going to be there, Legolas needed a best man and Aragon was coming so it worked out. She came out and my mother gasped at the sight of her. "Arwen, you're absolutely gorgeous" I told her. She stood in a safe green dress. It was a simple green dress but it was breathtaking. It had sleeves like my red one. I must say green fitted her very well. It had a simple belt that went around here waist the came together in the front. The belt type thing went from her waist all the way to her feet. She looked stunning.

"Tanya" Agatha called my name. "Yes ma'am?" I answered. "Now, I have a dress that I specifically made for you. I had spare time and an idea came to me. It not that fancy but you will love it." She led as away. We came to the dressing room. "It's right in there" she said and I went it. I fell in love with the dress. It was just like me. It was a white one of course. It was a strapless dress but it still has the flowery straps that went over the top part of my dress, it came down and almost blended with the skirt. The skirt was made out of lace and it had a bunch of layers. I got out of the clothes I had on now, luckily I didn't have to wear a corset with this dress. I changed into my dress and looked at myself. I looked stunning.

I came out to my mother and Arwen. My mom's eyes were brimming with tears that threatened to spill. "Tanya, you look wow, I don't know what to say" Arwen said, I could tell she was not expecting this. "So are you two lovelys keeping the dresses?" Agatha asked behind me. "Yes, definitely" me and Arwen answered at the same time. I liked the dress because the v-neck line was high enough so my tattoo doesn't show. I left to change and when I came back Arwen was also ready to go. We left the dress shop.

We went to a venue place and booked it for tomorrow, I gave them an idea of what I want and they showed me a drawing one of them did. It had a flower archway filled with lilly's and at the end it had another. There was rose petals the entire way down. There were chairs for everyone and a little wooden platform where me and Legolas would stand. I loved it so much. While we were there I talked to the florist, I knew Legolas would stop at this florist because he was the best in town. I told him that I wanted two lilies bouguets. "Alright, what time of Lilies would you like?" He asked. "For mine I would like white tiger lilies and blue orchids. For her's, just, blush pink tiger lilies and roses." I said. "By the way, my fiance, Prince Legolas, will becoming past here. No matter what, make sure he get lilies" I said "Yes princess" he said. We thanked him and went on to the next best thing. Cake!

We left for the bakery. I loved this bakery, we went inside, "Hello, your Highnesses" the young elf greeted us. I smiled, "I need a cake" I said in a hurry. She nodded "Alright, what type of cake would you like?" She asked. I did indeed know a lot about backing and flowers. "I would like a four teer cake. Two can be redvelvet and the rest can be vanilla. I want it to look like a tree trunk. I want flowers on it but not to much. And last but not least, I want it to look like our initials are craved into the tree trunk. The initials would be T and L. I want them to be in a heart" I explained, she was good. She took note of what I said and wrote everything down. "Very well princess, your cake will be ready tomorrow morning" she said with a smile.

The day went very quickly. It wasn't that late, right now it's about half past two. "We should get something to eat" I say as we walk past the bakery. "Sure, let's go in here" Arwen was talking funny. I looked at her, she seemed pale. "Arwen what is the matter. You look as if you seen a ghost" I asked. "It's probably nothing, just really hungry" I took her arm and we almost basically ran in to the shop. I could see the girl busy working on my cake. I smiled and she smiled back, Arwen found a table and we all sat there. It was a quiet place so not a lot of people came here. My mother ordered green teas.

"So are you excited?" My best friend asked, "Yes and no, i mean it was against my choice and I did not exactly have a say in it..." I trailed off. "Sure it would be fun and entertaining but I never pictured myself married. Sure it wasn't Impossible, someway it was still funny words "Married, Marriage, Wedding"" I have her a full length explanation. We had our tea and chatted about old memories and went home. By the time we got home it was already three.

We got there to see the boys there also. My eyes met Legolas's, I blushed lightly and turned my face away. "How did your day go?" Elrond asked us. "It went great, got a venue for dusk and what about yours?" I answered. When I lived here I learnt not to take shit from anyone. "Good, you, Legolas and us need to discuss where you will be living once you're married." Thranduil spoke clearly. "Oh, you didn't tell him? Funny" I looked at Legolas who was looking board. "Legolas?" He asked. "No, I'll answer you." I smirked and Legolas just stood there.

"So, me and Legolas were talking when we were on our way back. I have a treehouse about an hour's ride from here. We stopped there and both of us came to the conclusion that it the best place for us. You cannot and will not object to this." I looked him dead in his eyes. "I have no time whatsoever for a narcissist, and a childish king. Now if you will excuse me, I believe I need to talk to Legolas about our wedding plans... Oh, and by the way, I don't bow to titles and I will. Never. Bow. To you" the last part I spoke word for word. I have always astablished dominance first. Thranduil raised his hand to hit me but I stepped back and grabbed his arm. I twisted it around to his back and got my dagger out from my hidden pocket. I held it to his neck, everyone flinched and automatically tried to stop me. I snarled at them, legolas was clam and he looked truly impressed. I turned my attention back to Thranduil. "Try and hit me again and I promise you I will make your life a living hell." I whispered in his ear. I let him go and walked off. Legolas was still standing there "Do I need to marry myself or are you coming?" I said sarcastically. He shook his head and walked to me.
