Part VI...In which Legolas, Elladan and Elrohir demonstrate their deductive abilities, and the multiplicity of POVs only add to the terminal confusion.

Black Sheep Alone: Sorry if you're confused.

ESM: I'd be confused with a name like that!

Luneissil's just really confused (what the hell's wrong with me? My favourite word of the day seems to be 'confused'...)

Legolas: Do I really need to answer that?
Twins: You're a Mary Sue!

about her emotions and stuff...

ESM: And...more stuff...and things...and stuff.

She's confused. and to be honest,

Elrohir: Weren't you the one who was the prefect liar last chapter?

I didn't know what else to write after that!

ESM: Writers' block. Horrible feeling. But at times providential.

I know, I know, I'm such a stupid idiotic writer who can't even think up ideas! ::sobs and hides in a corner::

Legolas: uh...I'm speechless. It's like a dream come true!

Anyways, I hope this chapter answers your queries.

ESM: Like, "Is she dead yet?"

silentvengence13: Oh...sorry if it upset you, I didn't know about that, but thank you for telling me! I'll try to fix my mistake...if that's even possible... But in some other fics I read, the parents arranged their children's marriage...

Legolas: She didn't read the book. She reads fanfics.
ESM: Actually, I read that review. Said that poor Sapphy was mistaken. The Elves take a long time to find the true love of their life, and some don't get married at all.
Elrohir: Correct. Less than a week's aquaintance is hardly believable, even for a HUMAN romance. But what does that have to do with arranged marriages?
ESM: Dunno.

hm, I'm getting real confused here...

ALL: Me too!

eevee-nescence: Thanks for reviewing! And I'll be sure to read your stories! Well, a Mary Sue's a perfect girl...thing...and in a way, she resembles the author jumps and waves hands in the air but perfect. She's intelligent, she can fight, she's in the center of attention...get da drift?

Legolas: Hey. Kinda like ESM over here.
ESM: But she missed the most important characteristic. Are you in love with me?
Legolas: Uhhh, NO.
Elladan: (quietly, to Elrohir) I have my own opinion about that.
ESM: (smirks) Good. I am not a Mary Sue.

Soccer-Bitch: That was your favouritest favouritest (I know there's no such word, but anyway...)

ESM: (Sapphire-gurl11) I mean, heck, Shakespeare made up his own words...

chapter? Yippee! ::Jumps for joy:: Thank you!

Legolas' POV
"Luneissil!" I yelled, going after her. But the March

ESM: Hare.

Warden of Lorien held me back. He gave me that arrogant smile he constantly uses.

Legolas: Eww! I don't want that smile! It's got your germs all over it...

"Lady Luneissil won't listen to you, Prince," Haldir sneered at me. I growled

Elrohir: Oh, so both Legolas and Dan are growling dwarves now!

and snapped back, "As if she'll listen to you!"
"Oh, she will, my Prince,"

Elladan: Hmm. Legolas isn't his prince.

Haldir vowed. "She'll come to me, not to you."

ESM: (Haldir) All I hafta say is "here princess, fetch that ball for me".

I lifted my fist to punch that smile off his face,

Legolas: But...I thought he gave it to me...

but Aragorn held it back.

ESM: The fist or the smile?

"You bastard!" I yelled at Haldir.

ESM: Language!!!!

He seemed unaffected at my insult,

Elrohir: No kidding. Haldir's heard it all. March Wardens are neither high class citizens nor especially cultured persons.

unlike the others who gasped.

Elrohir: My point exactly.

Father stood, his face livid.

Legolas: His face is normally livid.

Haldir simply laughed at me. "Is that all you can come up with?" he sneered.

ESM: No, but that's all a thirteen year-old dared commit to.

When I was about to snap back, Elladan pulled me away, with the help of Elrohir.

Elrohir: Actually, I did it all by myself.

Both twins shook me as if trying to shake some sense into me.

Elladan: (grinning) Not a bad idea.

"He's not worth punching, Mellon,"Elrohir said.

Elrohir: Rule # 85 in the Royal Elves' Book of Etiquette: Do not punch people beneath your own station.
Legolas: Take THAT, Haldir!

But Arwen called Elladan and him, making him let go of me, reluctantly.

ESM: Reluctantly? What were you two really doing?
Elladan: uhh...nothing.....
Legolas: I knew it. No wonders my hair looked blue the next morning.

When they left the hall, I snarled at Haldir, "Luneissil will never come to you, I'll make sure of that."

Elladan: (Legolas) If I have to kill her to do it!
Legolas: It would be a PLEASURE.

The next morning...

Legolas: (narrator) Luneissil was found several leagues down river, dead as a drowned doormouse.

My POV
Someone knocked on the door.

ESM: Woohoo! Dracula!
Elrohir: Dracula doesn't knock on doors.
ESM: Oh yeah? How do you know?

I didn't care.

ESM: Well, then, you need a Care Bear, Looneygirl!

"Ase me! (Leave me!)" I hollered in Greek.

Elladan: What is the point of hollering 'leave me' in Greek? Elves do not know Greek. Only her sister knows Greek.
Elrohir: Therefore, we may deduce that unless Miss Looney knew her sister was outside,
Legolas: She really wanted the person at the door to come in!
ESM: Brilliant. You guys should have your own detective series.

But whoever knocked was rude and entered anyway.

Elladan: And then she tries to cover up her secret desire for everybody except her sister to enter her room by calling them rude.

I looked up from the sheets, and saw that it was only Arwen.

ESM: (Luneissil) Shoot! I wanted one of the immortal hotties. A buck only. (grins) I love that movie. It's so cheesy, It's delicious. (The Elves snort)

I groaned as she dragged me out of the bed. "Don't you understand Greek anymore?" I whined.
"Yes, I do," she answered. "It's just you I don't understand."

Legolas: Hmm. Arwen is denser than I thought. Mary Sues are ridiculously easy to understand.
ESM: Yeah, but you're experienced.
Legolas: Well, Arwen does have to deal with all those MSs that show up in Rivendell.
ESM: (nodding thoughtfully) True.

"What!?" I sat up straight,

Elrohir: That proves she is not a Neanderthal.
Legolas: (hopefully) A gorilla then?

glaring at Arwen. "How do you feel, Luneissil?" Arwen asked me softly.

Elladan: (Arwen, darkly) Do you feel...ready to depart this life?

I honestly didn't know how to answer that.

Legolas: Just say yes.

My mouth opened and closed

ESM: Chewing with one's mouth open is bad manners.
Elrohir: Uh....?

several times before finally answering my 'shrink'.

Legolas: I think she meant 'shark'.
ESM: No, a shrink is a psychiatrist. Precisely what she doesn't need.
Legolas: Do Shrink's have razor sharp teeth and incredible ripping capabilities?
ESM: You'll have to ask someone who's experienced it.

"I ,"

Legolas: As usual.

I whispered. "It's like, I don't know what to feel anymore.

Legolas: Precisely.
Elladan: Legolas, if you haven't anything to say, please shut up.

When...when he kissed me,"

Elladan: (Luneissil) I could taste the poisoned lipbalm.

I unconsciously touched my lips,

Elladan: (Luneissil) However, I was conscious enough to remember that I did touch my lips.

"I was shocked, confused. I mean, I didn't know how to react! He's my best friend, Arwen! And that's all I want to be with him, just...friends."

ESM: Yes, Legolas, just friends. (Legolas groans)

Arwen arched an elegant eyebrow.

ESM: (frowning) Do I have elegant eyebrows?
Elladan: Uhhh.
Elrohir: Hmm.
Legolas: NO.
ESM: Oh good.

"Are you sure?" she asked me.

ESM: Well, are you?

"Yes, definitely!"

Legolas: That is our final answer, ESM.
ESM: (oblivious) Heh. I thought she was confused. (The twins mutter something about talking at crosspurposes)

I exclaimed. "But what pains me the most is that I can't give him what he wants.

Elladan: (Luneissil) My death.

My love."
Arwen's POV
I was totally confused.

Elladan: (sigh) Her too?

The poor girl was obviously lost and was near to tears. Her friendship with Legolas could go further if she wanted it to!

Elladan: Straight to the grave, in fact.

Luneissil, my sister, I thought I'd never see her like this! She was scared, just plain scared...

Elrohir: (Arwen) of that little black spider...

"Luneissil, talk to Legolas! Your feelings might be sorted out when you do,"

ESM: Yeah, like so much dirty laundry.

I advised her. Luneissil looked at me as if I were mad.

Legolas: Your sister was always mad. Remember the time she took a stick to me just because I put salt in her miruvor?

"Are you mad?!" she shrieked. Ah, my point was proven.

ESM: What point?

Before she could shriek anymore than she should, I quickly cut

Elladan: her throat.
ESM: (deep sigh) Cliche, Elladan.

in. "You're

Legolas: Not here. In another world. Dead. Gone.

scared," I said gently. Luneissil sat as still as a statue, proving

Elrohir: Proving she was capable of cruelty to elfprinces�she looked dead, but wasn't really.

my answer right.

ESM: This passage brings up an interesting conjecture. Is this stuff about the 'shrink' firsthand experience?
Legolas: Hmph. Who needs a psychiatrist when there's FF. net ?!
ESM: (blinks) I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Legolas: (thinks for a moment) Neither do I.

"I'm...I'm scared..." Luneissil repeated softly.
My POV
I was scared.

ESM: Of pointy objects and especially spiders. And I had to face my fear.
Elladan: Nah. Why would you want to do that?

"I'm going to talk to him,"

ESM: (innocently) Parley?

I announced defiantly to a pleased looking Arwen.

Elladan: (Arwen) Excellent! Now the Prince is certain to murder you for the sake of Middle-Earth!

"Good for you, Luneissil!" she cheered. "Now I'll draw a bath for you and a dress," she said excitedly.

ESM: (Luneissil) What is with all these people drawing my baths and dresses? I can wield a pencil as well as they!

Haldir's POV
"Lord Elrond, may I have your permission to court your daughter?" I asked boldly to Lord Elrond.

ESM: Cheesy.
Legolas: (grimly) In my extensive studies of American/English, I have never found "asking to" to be part of said language's idiom.
Twins: Thank you, professor!

I saw a flicker of a smile on his usually serious face.

Elladan: Serious isn't the word.

"Yes, you may court my daughter," he answered

ESM: Cheesily.

.I bowed

ESM: Cheesily.

in respect to him and quickly left his study. I grinned.

ESM: Cheesy. Cheesy. Cheesy.
Legolas: Stilton. Get it? Stilton?
ESM: Yes. I get it. Doubt anyone else does, though.

'So far so good,' I thought.

ESM: Hey, that's the name of one of my favorite songs!

Elrond's POV

ESM: (solemnly) Let us be silent as the great Lord Elrond Halfelven shares his innermost reflections.

I sighed as Haldir left the study. I would have preferred Legolas Thranduillion asking for permission, not Haldir. But Haldir was just as good as Legolas was for my daughter.

(The four stare at the text in utter disbelief.)
Legolas: Haldir? Just as good as ME?! I'm a PRINCE!
Elladan: Kind of an obscure prince, but still better than the march warden.
Legolas: Yeeesss....?
ESM: Elrond doesn't take much account of his younger daughter, does he?

Legolas POV
I opened my door and to my surprise, found Luneissil standing outside,

Legolas: I had convinced myself she was dead.
ESM: You're delusionary.

fidgeting nervously with her sleeves.

ESM: I'd be too, walking into some guy's room.
Elladan: Whom you've known for less than a week.

"C-come in," I stuttered, clumsily stepping aside. Luneissil walked in, nervous.

Legolas: I'd be nervous too, with a Sue at my door.
Elrohir: Um, that IS you, Legolas.
Legolas: Oh yeah.
ESM: (sighing) Dumb blonde. It's NOT really YOU.

"Legolas...I've come to tell you of...of what I feel,"

ESM: A tad..too...much cheese...
(ESM pretends to faint. Legolas tries to join her, but the twins pull him back.)

she whispered. "And I also came to listen to you."

Elladan: (Luneissil) Listen to you SING!

A/N: Sorry this chapter was so short, I just wanted to keep you in suspense!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! Ahem...please review!

Elrohir: (reviewing) Dear Sapphy. This is an outrage. My friends are fainting right and left. Goodbye.
ESM: (getting up) What? It's over? What happened?
Elladan: Nothing. She's "keeping us in suspense".
Legolas: Suspense nuts.
Elrohir: Lookie. Another chapter.
ESM: I'm...trying...very hard...not to use...ugly language... ELVES: AGH!!!
Merry: (muffled) Are you guys OK in there?
