This is the last chapter and most likely the last thing put online by me. Not forever, but I'm going to New Zealand for 5 months in less than two weeks and I'm not sure if I will have much time to write and publish there. At least not for stories. I will, however, write a blog which you are welcome to read, if you want: http://mysticshadowcat. unless inspiration strikes again before I leave, this is it for a while.

Please review!

Chapter 5 – Farewells

"Glorfindel, are you coming?", Elrond called.

"Yes, yes, here I am."

Fin hurried to the waiting party, the hood of his cloak pulled deep into his face, despite the sun shining.. They were about to leave Greenwood and return to their homes, and Fin was the only one missing. Well, except for King Thranduil, who should bid them farewell.

Some minutes later, he, too arrived, trying to look graceful, but failing due to his hair being bright green. Elrond's head snapped around and he glared at his sons and daughter who were standing next to Legolas, trying to look shocked.

It had taken them a whole day to plan this prank and get the necessary things. Finally, last night Legolas and Arwen had sneaked first into Glorfindel's room, finding that, indeed, he and Erestor had been engaged with bedroom activities, and dying his blond hair green, while Elladan and Elrohir were outside, keeping a lookout.

Then they had repeated the procedure with Legolas' father.

Haldir led his horse to Glorfindel.

"Don't worry, mellon, it will be gone after two or three hair washes."

"How do you know?"

"You're not the first one who's hair has been dyed green by the fatal three."

"Oh."

"Well, I think we should leave now.", Elrond interrupted the chatter that had broken out.

"We want to get as far as possible before nightfall."

"You come and visit us in Imladris some day, ok?", Arwen said as she hugged Legolas.

"Sure."

"Together we will rock the boat!", Elladan laughed.

"Twas nice meeting you. We'll miss you.", Elrohir said.

"I'll miss you, too. You will write, won't you?"

"Of course we will."

"Elladan, Elrohir, Arwen, could you finish that now?", they heard Elrond call.

"Yes, Ada! Namarie, Legolas."

"Namarie."
