Alianna's POV

I hold out my hand, and Aragorn takes it. "You forgot something when you fell." I push the pendant into his open palm, before closing it. "Keep it. I think I don't need it right now."

"It's yours. I don't really reserve it," he mutters, opening up his hand. He brushes my hair away, and puts the necklace on me. "It's your good luck charm, I guess."

"Well, thank you very much, kind sir."

"Your welcome, my lady." He smirks, and slings his arm around my shoulder.

"Now, that is not very royal like, aye?"

"Who said I was royal?"

"According to everyone, you're Isildur's bane. So, you are King of Gondor once this is all over."

"If the Steward of Gondor allows me to become king, then yes. But if I do become King, will you be my Queen. Because every King should have a Queen with them at all time!"

I let out a small laugh," Sure! I would love to be your King!"

"King? But then that makes me Queen! But I'm a guy...? Oh, I don't even know anymore! Stop confusing me, Alianna!" I burst out laughing.

"Your face!" I catch my breath,"you looked so confused!"

"Oh seriously? Stop, it's really not that funny..."

"It totally was." Then I lean info his shoulder and smile. I'm finally happy.

Illiressa's POV

I'm dead. My head hurts, and I'm surrounded by darkness.... Where was I?

I feel sick to my stomach, and I open my eyes. I feel bile rise in my throat, and I get up suddenly. I get up, and nearly pass out again when I see him. Legolas flipping Thranduillion. Woah, he's hotter than ever. Now I really want to throw up. I jump up, and rush to the bathroom, and open the window.

"Bluuurgh!!" My stomach lurches. Poor rose bushes..

"Hey, are you okay in there?" Legolas calls.

"I'm fine!" I call shakily," Bleeeerg!"

"You sure?"

"Legolas, I am sure!"

"How do you know my name?"

"Well, you're my idol, and I love you a lot... BLEEEEEHGG!!!"

"What that? Your an idiot, and you love to throw up a lot?"

"NOOO!" I shriek. I wash my mouth, and start chewing on some mint leaves I had in my pocket. I open the door, and smile. "I said you are a fabulous archer, and I love your hair! How do you get it so well conditioned?" Woah, I'm flirting with a prince... Never done that before!

"Oh, well thank you!" I see a blush starting to creep from his neck, to his cheeks. "I uh, don't condition my hair. It's a natural thing.."

"Aw, I wish my hair could do that! It looks like a rat's nest..and I'm lousy at archery." Truth is, I'm very good at it, I jut want to impress him with my talents.

"Maybe I can teach you?" he looks into my eyes, and I want to squeal, but I really should contain myself. It's true, his eyes are like oceans...

"Sure, once I get dressed, and have some breakfast! I'll meet you in the courtyard with my stuff!"

"Okay, see you then!" He winks at me, before leaving. I slam the bathroom door shut, and press my back to the door, before dropping to the ground. I let out a sigh. This was my chance to shine in front of a prince! Don't screw up,

***********

Ten minutes later, I run across the courtyard, in my archery outfit. I have a quiver slung over my back, and my bow in hand. An apple is in my mouth, as I rushed to get ready so I can finally meet with Legolas. I barely thought about eating, I was so excited. I see Legolas sitting under the shade of a big apple tree. His elbows prop his up on the grassy hill. He has his bow on the grass next to him,

"Legolas!" I call out, spitting the apple out of my mouth, and running as fast as I could to him. As I run towards him, my clumsy self kicks in, and I take a tumble. "Eeek!" I screech in surprise. The ground is muddy, and I land in it face first.

"Are you okay?!" I hear footsteps coming towards me.

"I'm fine!" I call, lifting my head up. I let out a small laugh. I get up, and head over to the tree. We sit down, and LEGOLAS BRUSHES HIS HAND ON MY FACE.

" You have mud on your face."

I wipe some off with the back of my hand. "I don't really mind."

"It looks kind of like the face masks that Nahriel puts on her face!" Legolas laughs. My stomach drops. Does he have feelings for her. He looks at me, but his smile fades when he sees my sad face. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I am fine... I just thought about how disgusting Nahriel's face masks are."

"I know right?!" He chuckles, and I find myself laughing with him.

"So you wanna shoot at some targets?" I finally ask, as our laughter dies down.

"I bet I can beat you."

"You're so going down." I laugh. "Ooh, I know! We have to shoot the arrow at the flower pot on top of that tower!" I point go a tower in the distance.

"Okay, seems easy enough!" He fires, and it flies through the air. It hits wall, and sticks there. He missed!
"Oh, that was too hard! You totally won't that!"

"Sure I won't," I smile. I raise my bow, knock in the arrow, and fire. I hear the cracking of a clay pot, and I see a black stream pouting down. "YES!" I yell excited, and look at Legolas.

"You cheated!"

"Nope!"
