Life is what happens to us while we are busy making other plans. — Henry Cooke

I awoke blissfully,and began recalling the events just a few hours prior.

Little dove awakes.Such a lovely
remembrance.

My cheeks flushed.I absentmindedly touched one, biting my lip.

This bed seems terribly empty,my
love.

He shared his thoughts.I blushed even harder.

Where are you?

Duty calls,I fear.I left you a
present,my love.

I looked about the bed.

Not there.

I scanned the room as he kept teasing.

Neither there.No.So close,little
dove.

Can you see me?

No,just teasing Nin mel.

And then I saw it.On the settee.A gown.A GOWN!My hand went to my forehead.

As if perfectly natural,I snapped my fingers.

Why did I do that?

Then my first memory of my mother,same eyes,dark auburn hair.She was so beautiful!She was telling me something,its elfen!

What was it?Wait!

She touched her forehead,  snapped her fingers,put a finger to her lips"ssh.",and gave me a wink and a smile.

Snap on,snap off?Why not?

I tried to think lovely thoughts, and snapped.

-so I thought how lovely the color would look on you.Tell me your pleased.

Thranduil came into the suite.

"Lovely."I turned,smile plastered on my face.

"-but perhaps not quite suitable for training."

He laughed robustly.

"My love,have you forgotten?"

Beautiful fabric.Lovely lace.

"What are you doing? "he asked, mystified.

"Oh,just thinking how beautiful the gown is.What have I forgotten?"

He gave me a kiss.

"Guards cant train with the queen."

The what????

"A guard may NEVER raise a weapon to you."Thranduil repeated,smiling as if I knew this.

I snapped my fingers, as I put my index finger to my lips.

"Very funny.Your in a joking mood today."

What the hell!!!I can't train with my friends?I suppose I'm out of the guard now!Great!

He was staring at me quizzically.

"I'm not sure what's humourous, but let's see if it fits properly. The seamstresses worked all night."

"Ummm..actually-"I looked for my other clothes,"I thought I would check on V.Go for a ride." I turned, snapping my fingers, "-seems to be something flying about."I said,looking for this
insect I devised.

The grass is green,the sky is blue.

He gave me a quizzical smile.

"Now who's in a mood to jest?"he asked,pulling me into his arms, arms,hugging me tightly.
